The Devil and the Children of God – Matthew Deibler pt 1

The Devil and the Children of God

Matthew Deibler pt 1

Matthew Deibler, as a child of God, was born with a purpose. But he says he was a marked target of the devil. Unaware of this evil influence, Matthew fell under the spell of the devil’s deceit, drifting deep into the grip of mental illness before suffering a nervous breakdown—and being reborn in the faith. Amen!

Matthew has since founded the “Lamp on the Stand Motivational Ministry,”

which inspires faith-led transformation. He is an outspoken mental health advocate with nearly a decade of powerful influence in the mental health community, where he boldly shares the riveting story of his spiritual rebirth from the depths of panic-ridden agoraphobia, OCD, and addiction. He is also the founder of “The Outlet” which is a natural dialogue mental health community.

He is also the author of the book, “The Devil and the Children of God at the End of the World,” which will be the subject of our discussion today.

Help me welcome to the program, Mathew Deibler! Mathew, thank you for taking the time to join us today.

First question that I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Mathew Deibler?”

Tell us about your struggle with mental illness and how that affected you and your those around you…

You feared leaving your own home? I believe that is what “agoraphobia” is, correct? How did you work, earn a living, etc?

You share in your book that the devil is the one who nurtured this phobia in you. How so?

Like you, I was raised as a Lutheran. When I joined the military, I did things that, well, let’s just say things that I’m ashamed of now. But when someone would come to me and try to witness to me, etc. I would fall back, “Oh, I’m a Christian. I got saved when I was in high school.” I would say that because I took the confirmation classes and all of that. Took the communion when I was confirmed and had the card that said so. But it wasn’t until 17 years later that I was at the end of my rope, almost literally, and when I share this, the only way I can describe it is Jesus INVADED my life. Only then did I realize I had been believing a lie about my salvation. Is that how it was with you?

Tell us about your life before 2011 and after 2011?

Your book says that you encountered the devil twice in your life. What do you mean by that?

How do you believe you became “lost in temptation” in your second encounter with the devil?

You share that sometimes God talks to you. You mention a few times. How do you differentiate the voice of God from, say your own conscience?

About your host

Profile picture for TS Wright

TS Wright

Hello. My name is TS Wright, and I am the voice of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and author/TV host of the God Centered Concept.

For the past 33 years I have been involved in Christian ministry. Ranging from ministry, teaching and coaching in both public and private high schools and college, I have worked with students, athletes and adults from all walks of life. I have been involved with a host of Christian organizations included but not limited to CRU, FCA and other outreach & church affiliated ministries. Also being ordained in Christian ministry and being both a biblical and historical scholar I have focused on Discipleship, Biblical truth, prophecy & historical theology. I have also authored 4 books, a journal and a devotional series which are all now in the editing phase.

In 2003 and 2004 the Lord cast a series of visions on my life as to what would become the God Centered Concept.

In 2016, the Lord called me to start writing.

In 2019, He cast another series of visions that has led me to now.

In 2023, I was led to starting Podcasting and through divine intervention found Pastor Bob. I became a frequent guest speaker on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and being led by the Lord I have taken ownership of the Podcast.

I welcome all of you who are a part of the Kingdom Cross Roads community as well as everyone who is just joining our community as we continue to work to advance the Gospel and spark a Great Harvest. By expanding our message to the NOW TV Network it is our prayer that we can maintain the same level of quality messages and engaging conversations that you have been accustomed to. We thank you for your commitment to this community and we ask for your support and prayers as we strive to glorify God in all that He calls us to do.
