Something shifts in the spirit when your desires collide with God’s direction. There are seasons when your heart is set on one thing, yet the Lord—quietly, firmly, and sovereignly—redirects your steps. “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). For years, Wyoming tugged at me. The mountains, the open land, the country rhythm that feels like home to someone raised in the woods of Maine. Opportunities came, doors cracked open, and the idea of pastoring out West stirred something deep.

Yet heaven remained silent. Not a whisper. Not a nudge. Just holy stillness.

As I continued pastoring the church I still shepherd today, I often asked the Lord for an exit plan. I prayed for clarity, for confirmation, for the green light to pack up and head toward the mountains. But the heavens stayed quiet, and sometimes silence is the loudest answer of all. Then, as 2024 closed and 2025 dawned, the voice of the Lord broke through the stillness with unmistakable clarity: “Disciple a Remnant here in Jacksonville. Take the city for the Kingdom.” Before I could fully process that assignment, He added, “Seek My will for the First Coast region.” Suddenly, the silence made sense—God had been waiting for the right moment to reveal His plan.

My first reaction wasn’t bold faith; it was hesitation. I told the Lord, “I’m not from here. Others born here have greater authority.” But the Holy Spirit confronted that lie instantly. “Who told you that? Wherever you go, you carry the authority of the Father. And when you stand in the place I have called you, that authority intensifies.” His words struck me like fire. Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18–19).

Authority is not geographical—it is inherited. It is delegated. It is activated through obedience, not birthplace.

Stepping into 2026, I found myself asking the Lord, “Where is this Remnant You spoke of?” Our congregation is faithful, loving, and growing, but I wasn’t seeing the mountain‑moving disciples He described. They were maturing individually, but the corporate fire, the collective roar, the unified intercession that shakes cities—I wasn’t seeing it yet. And in that moment of frustration, the Holy Spirit whispered again: “Go to Hebrews 11:1 and stay there until the revelation consumes you.” So I went. And I stayed. And I’m still there.

Ever since fully and radically giving my life to the Lord on March 29, 2016, I’ve walked through a refining fire that has burned away self‑will and awakened holy purpose. It has been a season of dying to my own desires, surrendering dreams that once defined me, and embracing the crucible that shapes warriors. In that fire, something deep within me has been quickened—a cry that says, You were destined for this. You were born with a warrior’s heart. Every battle, every pruning, every delay has been forging the steel of obedience for the assignment unfolding now.

The Lord never wastes a surrendered life; He weaponizes it for His glory.

Now, as February 2026 approaches, I remain seated in the furnace of Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” I have revelation for books—check. I’m mentoring leaders afar—check. I’m walking in obedience—check. But the Lord is showing me that faith doesn’t begin with what you see; it begins with what He said. The Remnant is not missing. The Remnant is forming. The Remnant is awakening.

The Remnant is being summoned by the Word of the Lord, not by my natural eyes.

So what am I missing? Perhaps nothing at all. Perhaps this is the season where faith becomes substance, where unseen promises begin to take shape, where obedience becomes the birthplace of manifestation. Maybe the Remnant isn’t something I find—it’s something God forms through surrendered leadership, persistent prayer, and unwavering trust. And maybe, just maybe, the very thing I thought I lacked is already growing beneath the surface, waiting for the fullness of time. Because when God redirects your steps, He never wastes your longing—He transforms it into fuel for the assignment you were born to carry.

And now, to every warrior in the Jacksonville region whose spirit is burning even as you read this—this is your moment. If your heart has been crying out for something real, something weighty, something Kingdom, hear this call. If you’ve felt the ache of being underutilized, unseen, or spiritually misplaced… if you’ve carried gifts that others didn’t know what to do with… if you’ve longed for an apostolic family where fire, strategy, assignment, and honor flow together—your season of wandering is ending. The Lord is gathering His Remnant, and He is summoning those with a warrior’s heart to take their place in a movement that is rising with precision, purity, and power.

If your spirit leaps at the sound of this—if you know you were born for more than church-as-usual, if you hunger to be discipled, deployed, and developed in a Kingdom family that recognizes and honors what God placed inside you—reach out. The Remnant is forming. The warriors are awakening. The assignments are being released. And there is a place for you in what God is building here on the First Coast.

Give me a shout at remnantwarriors4christ@gmail.com. If your heart is burning, don’t ignore it. That fire is your confirmation.

Holding the Line: The Remnant Warrior’s Charge

We are living in a day when every word we speak, every step we take, and every alliance we form carries Kingdom consequence. The Scriptures warn that life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and Jesus taught that our words will justify or condemn us (Matthew 12:37). This is not sentimental rhetoric but legal, spiritual reality: the Ecclesia legislates by declaration when it stands in truth.

As sons and daughters led by the Spirit, we must recognize that casual words and careless alignments can open doors for darkness or release heaven’s purposes. Let us therefore weigh our speech with the fear of the Lord and the authority of Christ, knowing that our utterances have legislative effect in the unseen realms.

The unity we were graced for in a previous season was a gift from God, but grace is seasonally stewarded and must be tested by truth. Jesus prayed for oneness that is rooted in the Father’s truth (John 17), not a sentimental unity that ignores doctrine or moral clarity. In this hour, the same unity that once advanced revival may not carry the same covering if it compromises the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3).

Love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), yet love that abandons doctrine becomes a cloak for error and a pathway for deception. We must love fiercely and speak truth plainly, for genuine unity is forged in holiness and fidelity to the Word.

The enemy has infiltrated structures formed by men in subtle and overt ways, and his strategy is to blur doctrinal lines until truth is indistinguishable from error. Paul warned of those who would pervert the Gospel and teach another Jesus (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:8), and we see that tactic replicated today through unequally yoked doctrinal alliances.

When teachers who preach different gospels embrace one another publicly, the watching world is confused and the testimony of Christ is weakened. The Ecclesia must therefore discern with apostolic clarity, exposing error while extending the gospel of repentance and restoration. Doctrine matters because doctrine shapes destiny; what we teach and whom we embrace determines the spiritual climate of our communities.

The enemy exploits compromise to make the world ask why the Church tolerates contradiction, and that question opens a door for unbelief to flourish. When those who claim Christ rub shoulders with those who deny foundational truth, the credibility of the Gospel is eroded and the lost are given reason to doubt. Scripture calls leaders to be shepherds who guard the flock and to be watchmen who sound the alarm (Acts 20:28; Ezekiel 33).

The Remnant Warrior refuses to be silent in such a time; he or she stands as a sentinel of doctrine, not out of pride but out of covenantal responsibility. Endurance, not popularity, is the mark of those who will finish the race and keep the faith (2 Timothy 4:7).

A Remnant Warrior holds fast to the Kingdom doctrines Christ taught—repentance, righteousness, the lordship of Jesus, and the authority of Scripture—and will not bow to cultural pressure or compromise for the sake of acceptance.

This is a call to courageous fidelity: to preach the whole counsel of God, to disciple with rigor, and to align only with those who honor the apostolic foundation. Even unto death, the true Ecclesia will not dilute the Word to be liked by men; rather, it will suffer gladly for the sake of Christ’s glory (Philippians 1:29). Rise up, therefore, in the authority of your sonship, speak with prophetic clarity, and let your life be a legislative act that advances Heaven’s rule on earth.

Many today dismiss doctrine as secondary, but the Word of God makes clear that it is central to the life and witness of the Church. Paul’s charge to Timothy was not to chase novelty or sentiment, but to “hold fast the pattern of sound words” (2 Timothy 1:13) and to guard the deposit of truth entrusted to him.

If the Apostle saw sound doctrine as essential for leadership and endurance, should it not also be woven into the very creed of the Remnant Warrior? For without truth, unity becomes fragile, and without doctrine, love loses its anchor.

I know personally that I would not want to march into spiritual battle alongside someone whose end-times doctrine leads them to retreat in fear, anticipating the rise of evil, rather than advancing in the confidence of Christ’s victory. The true disciples of Jesus understand that the Glory—the Light of Christ within—dispels darkness as they move forward in faith.

The Remnant Warrior must therefore be one who treasures sound doctrine, who refuses compromise, and who marches boldly under the banner of truth, knowing that the Word of God is both sword and shield. This is not optional—it is the foundation of victorious living and the creed of those who will endure to the end.

When Prayer Governs Nations: Rediscovering the Ecclesia’s Ancient Mandate

Posted: January 22, 2026 in Kingdom Teaching, Remnant, Spiritual warfare
Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

In Born to Govern: The Ecclesia’s Mandate to Legislate Heaven on Earth, I explore the ancient pathways of prayer, authority, and spiritual governance that God entrusted to His people. Scripture makes it clear that the Ecclesia was never meant to be a passive audience but a governing body empowered to bind and loose according to Heaven’s decree (Matthew 16:18–19). Throughout history, God has raised up movements that embodied this mandate long before modern Christianity rediscovered it.

Two of the most profound examples—the Celtic Apostolic Movement under Patrick and the Moravian 100‑year prayer watch—demonstrate what happens when believers embrace their identity as Heaven’s legislative assembly. These movements didn’t simply pray; they governed atmospheres, shaped nations, and shifted the course of civilization.

Patrick’s story is one of the most misunderstood in Christian history. Contrary to later religious narratives, Patrick was not a Catholic priest but a Kingdom‑minded apostolic leader mentored by an Irish priest who taught the Gospel of John and the message of the Kingdom that Jesus Himself proclaimed (Luke 4:43). His mission to Ireland was not ritualistic but deeply apostolic and prophetic, rooted in prayer, fasting, and supernatural encounters.

Several centuries after his death, the institutional church attempted to recast him as a Catholic saint to silence Protestant influence in Ireland, yet the true record of his life remains etched in the eternal timeline where neither men nor demons can rewrite it. Patrick and his disciples preserved Scripture, literacy, and the Gospel during a time when civilization teetered on the edge of collapse, preventing Europe from slipping back into barbarism.

From this movement emerged what many still call the “thin places”—regions in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales where the veil between Heaven and Earth seemed unusually thin. These were not mythical ideas but the fruit of sustained apostolic prayer, worship, and community life shaped by the presence of God.

The Celtic believers established monastic communities that functioned as apostolic hubs, training centers, and missionary bases long before such concepts existed in Western Christianity. Their influence spread across tribes, kings, and nations, demonstrating what happens when the Ecclesia takes its governing role seriously. Their legacy echoes the promise of James 4:8, that when we draw near to God, He draws near to us—sometimes so tangibly that entire regions feel the weight of His nearness.

Centuries later, another extraordinary movement emerged: the Moravian prayer revival. Beginning in 1727, this community launched a prayer watch that continued unbroken for one hundred years, a living fulfillment of 1 Thessalonians 5:17’s call to “pray without ceasing.” Their devotion ignited a global missions movement that touched the Wesley brothers, influenced the Great Awakening, and later inspired revivalists such as Smith Wigglesworth and the Jeffrey brothers.

The Moravians understood that prayer was not merely devotional but governmental—they interceded with the conviction that Heaven’s will could shape the destiny of nations. Their legacy stands as a testament to what happens when ordinary believers embrace extraordinary obedience.

These two movements—Celtic and Moravian—serve as prophetic blueprints for the Ecclesia today. They reveal that when God’s people step into their identity as legislators of Heaven, spiritual climates shift, cultures transform, and history bends toward redemption. Born to Govern is written to awaken this same mandate in a new generation of believers who refuse to settle for powerless Christianity.

As we rediscover the authority Christ entrusted to His Ecclesia, we step into the same stream of history that carried Patrick, the Celtic saints, and the Moravian intercessors. Their story is our inheritance, and their mantle is waiting for a people ready to govern again.

This is just a glibse into this book, which is full of Apostolic Prayer strategies taking from scripture, past and present prayer movements. Born to Govern: The Ecclesia’s Mandate to Legislate Heaven on Earth, is set to be published on March 10, 2026

Returning the Altar to the Homes — The Rise of Glory Houses and the Remnant Ecclesia

Posted: January 20, 2026 in house church, Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant, Spirit-Wind People, teaching, wilderness
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

In 2015, my wife and I were graced to stand shoulder to shoulder with a leadership team that began laying the foundation of a home fellowship destined to burn with the manifest presence of the Lord for years to come. What was formed was not a program, but an altar, echoing the pattern of Acts where believers continued steadfastly in fellowship, breaking bread from house to house with glad and sincere hearts.

This work was birthed out of seasons of annual ministry retreats in the mountains of North Carolina, where for days at a time we learned to host His presence and live together as a true Kingdom family. In those sacred moments, the Lord knit hearts together and taught us that where two or three gather in His name, He is truly in their midst. What began in hidden places became a dwelling place for His glory.

Over the four years that this home fellowship met throughout the week, we witnessed the tangible presence and glory of God in undeniable ways. Miracles, signs, and wonders flowed freely, confirming the Word just as Jesus promised that these signs would follow those who believe. Lives were touched and transformed from across the nation, not by human effort, but by the Spirit of the living God moving among a surrendered people.

The atmosphere was marked by reverence, joy, and holy expectancy, as hearts were continually aligned with Heaven. This season planted a deep Kingdom seed, revealing what becomes possible when we fully yield to the leadership of the Holy Spirit and simply do life together as one body.

That season also became a refining fire for both of us, shaping our hearts to respond to opposition and difficulty with mercy, grace, and the spirit of forgiveness. We learned to walk in love as Christ loved us, bearing with one another and guarding unity as a precious trust. The Lord taught us that the fruit of the Spirit is not optional, but essential for sustaining His presence among His people.

As we look ahead to the future of the American Church, the timeline remains known only to the Father, yet the direction has been made clear. Through a chorus of faithful intercessors and prayer warriors, the Holy Spirit has confirmed a word that feels both ancient and urgent: the Father is returning the altar to the homes, preparing a remnant who will carry His fire from living rooms into the nation.

In this critical hour, as violence and disruption rise against the Lord’s Houses of Worship, the question before the Remnant Ecclesia is unmistakable: how will we respond? The Father saw this moment before the foundations of the world were laid, and He has not left His people unprepared. The Holy Spirit is awakening a holy remnant who will not bow at the presence of evil, but who instead walk boldly in the glorious light of the King—a light for which darkness has no answer.

We are not the meek of the world’s definition; we are the meek Jesus spoke of in Matthew 5:5—strength under divine authority, trained, disciplined, and submitted to the Master’s hand.

It is within this context that the Lord has entrusted us with a clear and compelling vision of Glory Houses being established across the North Florida and southern Georgia corridor, stretching from Jacksonville to Pensacola. These Glory Houses are living altars where His presence is hosted, His voice is honored, and Kingdom family is formed, just as the early church gathered from house to house in power and simplicity.

We believe this region has been marked by God for awakening, restoration, and apostolic sending, a strategic corridor where the fire of God will burn brightly in homes and communities. This is the Father returning the altar to the homes, raising up a people who carry His presence beyond the walls and into the heart of the land.

If you sense the Holy Spirit stirring your heart to plant such a fellowship, we invite you to reach out to us. We would be honored to share from the wisdom and experience the Lord has graciously given us over the past twenty‑three years, including the privilege of helping establish more than one hundred and twenty‑five house fellowships throughout India.

This is a rallying call to the Remnant—rise up, take your place, and become the Kingdom’s war horses, advancing the light of Christ where darkness has sought to prevail. The hour is now, the call is clear, and the Lord is gathering His people to stand, build, and burn for His glory.

Holy Spirit Directives for a Nation at the Crossroads

The Spirit is calling the Ecclesia in this hour to stand as watchmen on the walls, discerning the spiritual currents attempting to shape the soul of the nation. Scripture declares, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion” (1 Peter 5:8), reminding the Remnant that vigilance in prayer is not optional—it is commanded. The rise of deceptive ideologies is not merely political but spiritual, seeking to dull discernment and erode the foundations of truth. The Holy Spirit urges His people to pray with clarity, not confusion; with authority, not fear; with the Word, not emotion. In this posture, the Ecclesia becomes the barrier that restrains darkness.

The Remnant is directed to pray that every ideology exalting itself against the knowledge of God be exposed and dismantled. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12), reminding us that the battle is not against people but against spiritual forces influencing systems and structures. Socialism, communism, and Islamism—when used as instruments of oppression or deception—must be confronted in the spirit, not through hatred but through truth. Holy Spirit calls the Ecclesia to declare that every hidden agenda be brought into the light and judged by the righteousness of God. As these prayers rise, strongholds weaken and the schemes of darkness lose their grip.

The Lord instructs His people to pray for the preservation of freedom, justice, and righteousness within government, for “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17). The Remnant must intercede that leaders be shielded from deception and strengthened in wisdom, courage, and moral clarity. Pray that the fear of the Lord—not the fear of man—governs decision-making in every office of authority. Pray that the foundations laid by truth are not replaced by systems that enslave the mind, silence the Church, or undermine the dignity of God’s creation. Through these prayers, the Ecclesia becomes a spiritual firewall around the nation.

Holy Spirit is summoning the Remnant to rise with boldness and prophetic fire, refusing to be passive in the face of encroaching darkness. “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). This is not the hour to retreat—it is the hour to advance. The gates of influence must be reclaimed, not by human strategy, but by spiritual authority rooted in sonship and consecration. The Remnant must decree that the Kingdom of Yahweh arrive in full power, majesty, and glory, and that His perfect will be established in this nation.

The Lord is also commanding His Ecclesia to release prophetic decrees that pierce through the fog of ideological confusion and establish Heaven’s verdict over this land. “You shall decree a thing, and it shall be established for you” (Job 22:28), and now is the time for the Remnant to speak with fire and precision. These decrees must not be vague or timid—they must carry the weight of Heaven’s intention and the clarity of divine justice. Declare that every gate of influence—media, education, government, finance, and culture—be reclaimed for the glory of God. Declare that every counterfeit system bow to the supremacy of Christ and that righteousness be enthroned in every sphere.

Holy Spirit is igniting a fresh commissioning over the Remnant to move from intercession into occupation. “The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12), and this is the hour for spiritual warriors to rise and take hold of what belongs to the King. No longer can the gates be left unguarded or surrendered to compromise. The Remnant must step into the battlefield with unwavering resolve, clothed in the armor of God, and armed with the sword of the Spirit. Let every voice rise, every heart burn, and every decree thunder with Kingdom authority.

Remnant of the Lord—step up. Step into the battlefield. Take back the gates. Decree with fire and faith that the Kingdom of Yahweh is here, and His glory shall cover this land as the waters cover the sea. The hour is urgent, and Heaven is waiting for your voice.

A Nation Shaken: The Ecclesia’s Call to Righteous Discernment

A life lost is always a tragic and grievous thing, and Scripture teaches us to “weep with those who weep” (Romans 12:15). Yet even in moments of sorrow, the people of God must step back from the emotions that inflame and discern the broader spiritual landscape. The enemy often exploits moments of tragedy to stir confusion, division, and reactionary anger. This is why Proverbs 28:5 says, “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.” We must look beyond the surface and recognize the forces at work attempting to fracture the nation.

America stands at a dangerous crossroads, one that could escalate into deeper national unrest if wisdom does not prevail. Scripture warns that “a house divided against itself cannot stand” (Mark 3:25), and the rhetoric saturating our culture is pushing the nation toward internal conflict. Many voices in the public arena on the left, are stirring hostility, lawlessness, and contempt for order, creating an atmosphere ripe for chaos. This is not merely political tension—it is a spiritual battle for the soul of the nation. The people of God must discern the times and refuse to be swept into the emotional storms being manufactured.

Since when did it become acceptable to lay hands on law enforcement officers who are fulfilling their sworn duty to uphold the law? Romans 13:1–2 reminds us that governing authorities exist because God permits them, and resisting lawful authority invites disorder and instability. The normalization of hostility toward those tasked with protecting communities is a sign of a culture drifting from righteousness. When lawlessness is celebrated, justice becomes distorted, and confusion fills the land. This is why the Remnant must stand for truth, order, and integrity in the public square.

Our nation has become entangled in toxic political schemes that blur moral lines and redefine foundational truths. Isaiah 5:20 warns, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” We see this unfolding as society confuses gender identity, elevates criminal behavior as victimhood, and places those who violate national immigration laws above those who have sacrificed to defend it. Such moral inversion is not merely misguided—it is spiritually dangerous. The Remnant must anchor itself in the unchanging Word of God and refuse to bow to cultural confusion.

What must happen now is a return to accountability, integrity, and reverence for the rule of law. Scripture teaches that leaders are held to a higher standard, and those who use their influence to stir violence or undermine lawful authority must be confronted with truth (James 3:1). Any individual in governmental office—whether on a school board, in local or state government, or in national positions—who encourages hostility toward law enforcement must be held responsible for their words and actions. This is not about political retaliation but about preserving order, justice, and the safety of American citizens. As Proverbs 29:4 declares, “By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.”

And now, says the Spirit of the Living God, let the Remnant rise with fire in their bones and clarity in their vision. This is the hour to shake off fear, cast down confusion, and stand as burning torches in a nation stumbling through manufactured darkness. For the Lord declares, “My light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5), and that light is rising through My consecrated ones. Lift your voice, Remnant, for I am igniting a holy boldness in you that no narrative, no deception, and no scheme of the enemy can silence. Stand firm, pray fiercely, and let the roar of the Ecclesia thunder across the land until righteousness breaks forth like the dawn and justice rolls like a mighty river.

The Kingdom Age Wells of Glory

We have stepped into a powerhouse decade, a decade marked by Heaven as a turning point for the Ecclesia. On the Jewish calendar, this is the Decade of Peh, the decade of the mouth, and the Spirit is awakening the Remnant to the authority of their voice. This is not symbolic—it is strategic. God is restoring the roar of His people, the sound that dismantles darkness and establishes Kingdom order. As we cross into 2026, we are stepping into a supernatural alignment, for this year on the Hebrew Calendar is Vov, and it prophetically represents Divine Connection, Heaven’s orchestration of relationships, assignments, and alignments that carry eternal weight.

The Lord is placing a double anointing upon the mouths of His sons and daughters in this hour. Isaiah 59:21 declares that His Spirit and His words will not depart from our mouths or the mouths of our children, and in this decade, that promise is being activated with unusual force. When the Remnant speaks, Heaven responds. When the Remnant decrees, the earth shifts. When the Remnant aligns their mouth with the will of the Father, the authority released is not single—but doubled, amplified, and accelerated. This is why the enemy has fought the voice of the Church so violently; he fears the sound that carries the breath of God.

From 2020 to 2026, the Lord extended a supernatural window of grace—five years of divine patience, divine correction, and divine invitation. It was a grace that covered the immature, confronted the rebellious, and called the wandering back into alignment. Many were given time to repent, to return to purity, to lay down mixture, and to stop profiting from the anointing. But now, as we step fully into the Age of the Kingdom, the Lord is shifting from extended grace to established government. Hebrews 12:27 declares that everything that can be shaken will be shaken, and the shaking has already begun.

For those who have stewarded the anointing with integrity, this is a year of divine elevation. The Lord is connecting pure voices with pure assignments, pure hearts with pure mantles, and pure ministries with pure resources. Divine connections will form suddenly, supernaturally, and sovereignly. But for those who have commercialized the sacred, manipulated the anointing, or used the oil for personal gain, the wells of grace are running dry. The Lord is withdrawing the covering that once shielded them, and what was hidden will now be exposed. Galatians 6:7 reminds us that God is not mocked, and in this season, the seeds sown in secret will bear visible fruit—whether righteous or corrupt.

The Spirit of the Lord is raising up a purified Remnant—voices that cannot be bought, silenced, or manipulated. These are the ones who will speak with the fire of Jeremiah 23:29, for the word of the Lord in their mouths will be like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces. They will not echo culture; they will confront it. They will not bow to systems; they will overturn them. They will not seek platforms; they will steward altars. The Kingdom is advancing through consecrated vessels, not celebrity voices, and the Lord is restoring the fear of the Lord to His house.

This is the hour where the Remnant must guard their mouths, for the weight of their words has increased. The Lord is calling His people to speak only what He speaks, to decree only what He decrees, and to release only what Heaven has authorized. Ezekiel 37 shows us the power of prophetic speech—dry bones respond to the voice of a yielded prophet. In this decade, the Lord is raising up Ezekiel voices who will prophesy life into dead places, breath into weary warriors, and structure into scattered armies. The mouth of the Remnant will become a weapon in the hand of God.

The divine connections of 2026 will not be casual—they will be covenantal. God is aligning apostles with prophets, evangelists with pastors, teachers with reformers, and intercessors with builders. These alignments will unlock territories, birth movements, and establish Kingdom outposts in places long held by darkness. Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” In this year, God is bringing together those who agree with Heaven, not those who agree with convenience.

The Age of the Kingdom is not coming—it is here. The Lord is shifting His people from church culture to Kingdom culture, from spectatorship to sonship, from programs to power, from inspiration to legislation. Romans 8:19 declares that creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God, and in this decade, the sons are rising. They are rising with authority, rising with clarity, rising with purity, and rising with a sound that carries the breath of God.

The wells of grace that once covered compromise are closing, but the wells of glory for the consecrated are opening. The Lord is releasing fresh oil, fresh fire, and fresh revelation to those who have remained faithful. This is a decade of divine speech, divine alignment, divine authority, and divine manifestation. The mouth of the Remnant will shape nations, shift atmospheres, and establish the will of the Father in the earth.

Kingdom-Centric Apostolic Alignment: A Framework for Ecclesial Mobilization

To operate in true spiritual authority, one must first learn to walk in submission to authority, for Scripture declares that “there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God” (Romans 13:1). Authority in the Kingdom is never self-generated but flows from alignment with Heaven’s order. Even after many years of ministry, submission remains essential, not as a limitation, but as a safeguard and source of strength. Jesus Himself modeled this posture, saying, “I do nothing of Myself, but as My Father taught Me” (John 8:28). Kingdom authority is sustained through humility and obedience to the voice of the Lord.

Though decades have passed in ministry, submission continues to shape my walk, particularly through the Word of the Lord released by trusted leaders. Scripture affirms that God places gifts within the Body for mutual edification and growth (Ephesians 4:11–13). When leaders speak by the Spirit, their words carry weight not because of position, but because of alignment with the Father’s heart. This kind of submission is not blind allegiance, but discerning obedience rooted in truth. It is through such alignment that authority matures and bears lasting fruit.

Many believers miss this Kingdom alignment because their churches operate outside the pattern of Heaven, functioning instead within the confines of religious tradition. Jesus rebuked such systems, declaring that they “make the word of God of no effect through tradition” (Mark 7:13). The spirit of religion builds prisons rather than pathways, substituting form for life and control for freedom. Though outwardly structured, these systems often resist the movement of the Spirit. As a result, many remain bound while believing they are secure.

For much of my early life in the Church, including years of ministry training, I unknowingly lived within that same confinement. Though sincere, my understanding was limited by inherited frameworks that emphasized performance over sonship. Yet Holy Spirit, faithful and patient, began striking those chains over many years. From 2002 through 2015, He steadily dismantled false foundations, preparing my heart for deeper revelation. What once felt immovable slowly began to loosen under His persistent work.

Everything changed in a defining encounter with the Lord Himself in the early hours of March 29, 2016. In that sacred moment, the chains of religious bondage were shattered, and the revelation of sonship was awakened within me. Scripture declares, “If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36), and that freedom became tangible and real. This encounter marked the beginning of a deeper unveiling of the authentic Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus proclaimed and entrusted to His disciples. From that moment forward, identity replaced striving, and intimacy replaced obligation.

There have been other encounters along the journey that can only be likened to the moment when John the Baptist leapt in his mother’s womb at the presence of Christ (Luke 1:41). Such moments carried a spiritual recognition beyond words, affirming divine alignment rather than human connection. These encounters were marked by joy, confirmation, and a deep stirring of the Spirit. They revealed that Heaven orchestrates relationships for purpose, not coincidence. Each encounter served as a signpost along the path of Kingdom understanding.

The first of these moments occurred in 2002 upon meeting the late Dr. Don Lynch, who the Lord assigned as my mentor for several years, training me in Kingdomleadership, My wife and I were two of the first ordained leaders under Ministry Matrix.

That encounter was followed by encounters with Ron McGatlin in 2011 and Dutch Sheets and Clay Nash in 2018. In a gathering hosted by Dr. Lynch, where both Dutch and Clay taught, the Lord spoke clearly, instructing me to sit under Dutch’s teaching to hear the Father’s heart. Obedience followed, leading to years of study, prayer, and attentiveness to the revelation being released. Scripture teaches that wisdom flows through those who walk closely with God (Proverbs 13:20). These relationships became conduits of Kingdom insight and confirmation.

Holy Spirit has described these connections as kindred, affirming that they belong to the same spiritual family, the household of Yahweh. Scripture declares that believers are “members of the household of God” (Ephesians 2:19), joined not by preference but by divine calling. During the RiverHouse season, the late Bill Johnson of Christian International, taught the concept of a prophetic thread, where revelation expands as it is stewarded and pursued. This principle reflects the Kingdom pattern of progressive unveiling. What is revealed grows as it is honored.

Much of the Kingdom has been hidden, not because it was new, but because it was obscured by the spirit of religion. Jesus said that the mysteries of the Kingdom are given to those who seek with humility and faith (Matthew 13:11).

Today, the Remnant Ecclesia stands in a Jeremiah 33:3 moment, where the Father invites His people to call upon Him so He may reveal hidden things. As alignment with the Remnant Ecclesia deepens, these revelations unfold with clarity and power. What was once concealed is now being restored, not for knowledge alone, but for transformation and Kingdom advance.

In January of 2022, Dr. Don introduced me to the teachings of Apostle Greg Hood only a few weeks before he went home to be with the Lord, a moment that now carries even greater weight and gratitude in my heart. He said, son you will want to hear this mans teachings as they align with what you have been hearing in the Spirit.

In September of that same year, I encountered an advertisement for Apostle Greg’s book The Gospel of the Kingdom, which I promptly ordered and read three times within a single month. Every page resonated with unmistakable clarity, confirming what the Holy Spirit had already been unveiling within me through prayer, study, and lived obedience. As Proverbs declares, “In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established” (Proverbs 18:22), and the witness of the Spirit was undeniable.

As additional books by Apostle Greg were released, I read them eagerly, each one further affirming the trajectory the Lord had set before me. The revelation of the Kingdom did not introduce something foreign, but rather illuminated what had long been hidden beneath layers of tradition. When I first read The Gospel of the Kingdom, it intensified the fire already burning within me, stirring a deep desire to teach these truths. Yet Holy Spirit restrained me, whispering with gentle authority, “Not yet.” That season became one of quiet formation, where revelation was not merely learned, but lived.

Apostle Greg’s teaching and revelation concerning the books of Enoch, such as Seed Wars: Unraveling the Hidden History of the Nephilim and Modern Deception, served as yet another profound confirmation, as his writings echoed what the Holy Spirit had long been whispering to me in the secret place. These insights illuminated truths rarely addressed from the pulpit, not because they lack substance, but because they require discernment, humility, and courage to steward rightly. In this, the Spirit affirmed that what is hidden is now being unveiled to those willing to listen beyond tradition and lean fully into revelation.

In the first week of October 2025, Apostle Ken Malone hosted a powerful conference where Apostle Greg was among the speakers. On the very first night, as Apostle Greg taught on the Kingdom, Holy Spirit spoke with unmistakable clarity, declaring, “This is your green light. You have spent the last three years living this revelation—now release it.” That moment marked a divine transition from preparation to proclamation, from hiddenness to obedience. The timing of Heaven was perfect, confirming that authority flows from submission and stewardship.

During this conference, I had the privilege of meeting Apostle Greg and his wife Joanne, discovering yet another divine connection, as Joanne, like my wife, was born in the Philippines. The moment I shook Apostle Greg’s hand, I experienced that familiar stirring of the Spirit, akin to John leaping in Elizabeth’s womb at the presence of Christ (Luke 1:41). In that instant, the Holy Spirit whispered, “The revelation of the Kingdom has connected you.” It was a sacred confirmation that this alignment was not accidental, but ordained, woven together by the Spirit for the advancement of the Kingdom and the awakening of the Remnant in this generation.

There are also Kingdom voices in this generation whose faithfulness, purity, and obedience have strengthened my life as well as that of the Body of Christ and helped shape the emerging Remnant.

I have been blessed to also listen to and meet of Kingdom men such as Apostle Ken Malone, Chuck Pierce, and Damon Thompson who each carry a distinct mantle that awaken, align, and advance the people of God into deeper realms of Kingdom understanding. Their ministries echo the pattern of Ephesians 4:11–12, equipping the saints for the work of ministry and calling the Church into maturity, purity, and prophetic clarity.

I can’t leave out to other men that Holy Spirit has used to speak into my life with such power and authority my life was shaken to the core, Samual Brassfield, and my dear friend and mentor Paul Michel.

Through each of these Kingdom fathers obedience, the Lord has released strategies, intercession, and revelation that have fortified the foundations of many and ignited fresh hunger for the authentic move of the Spirit. I honor these voices as faithful stewards of the mysteries of God, whose lives and ministries continue to strengthen the Remnant Ecclesia and call this generation into its rightful place in the purposes of the Father.

Unshakable Authority: Reclaiming the Church for the Reigning Christ

Posted: December 20, 2025 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant, Spiritual warfare
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There is a sobering question before us: why are so few shepherds addressing the spiritual threats shaping our generation, especially on advancing threat of Islam in our nation? When voices fall silent, it is often because ears have grown dull to the directives of the Holy Spirit, or because fear of backlash has eclipsed obedience.

Yet Scripture reminds us, “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). The Remnant must discern the times with courage, refusing to bow to intimidation or cultural pressure.

It has become painfully clear that much of the mainstream Church has redirected its spiritual warfare toward building platforms, gathering crowds, and crafting messages that are palatable and popular. This pursuit of relevance has come at the expense of the true Gospel of the Kingdom being proclaimed and the expansion of Christ’s rule within the cultures of this world.

But the Kingdom does not advance through applause—it advances through truth, obedience, and the bold proclamation of Christ. “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33) remains the mandate, not the pursuit of influence.

If hesitation is rooted in weak theology, then now is the hour to return to the revelation of the God we serve—the One who sits enthroned above the circle of the earth (Isaiah 40:22), who has no rival, no equal, and no threat to His dominion. Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18). The Father watches over His children with fierce tenderness, “like a hen gathering her chicks under her wings” (Matthew 23:37). A people who know their God will never tremble before the schemes of men.

Therefore, Remnant Ecclesia, rise. Shake off the slumber of passive Christianity and stand firm in the courage of the Kingdom. This is the hour to speak truth with love, to war with wisdom, and to shine with unshakable confidence in the supremacy of Christ. “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). Let the true sons and daughters take their place.

This is the hour to take back the houses of the Lord—not with anger or fleshly striving, but with the authority of sons and daughters who know the voice of their King.

We have been commissioned to reoccupy what rightfully belongs to Jesus the Messiah, the One to whom “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given” (Matthew 28:18). The enemy has squatted long enough in places meant for truth, holiness, and the uncompromised Gospel of the Kingdom.

Let the Remnant stand firm, clothed in the armor of God, discerning the times, and refusing to yield sacred ground to cultural pressure or spiritual apathy. “Those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32), and this is such a moment. The King is calling His warriors to rise—not in fear, but in faith, reclaiming His territory with humility, boldness, and unwavering allegiance to His Word.

The Hammer and the Fire: Breaking Religious Strongholds in This Generation

Blessed indeed are we, this chosen generation, appointed to behold the restoration of the Gospel of the Kingdom—the very message our Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed and embodied. This is the true Gospel, the everlasting Word sealed in Heaven, bearing the authority of the Throne. It comes forth with the manifestation of Holy Fire, consuming the dross and exposing every counterfeit gospel as illegitimate.

For it is written: ‘For our God is a consuming fire’ (Hebrews 12:29), and ‘If anyone preaches another gospel than the one you received, let him be accursed’ (Galatians 1:8). This Gospel of the Kingdom is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16), the eternal decree recognized in Heaven and now revealed on earth with glory and fire.

The religious spirit that has enthroned entertainment and performance in the modern church is crumbling. Its intoxication is fading, leaving behind empty structures that cannot sustain the weight of God’s glory. The Lord is exposing gatherings that “have a form of godliness but deny its power” (2 Timothy 3:5), and He is calling His people to return to the altar of fire. This is not about buildings or programs, but about the Bride being purified to carry His presence. The Ecclesia must awaken, for the Kingdom of God is not in word only but in power (1 Corinthians 4:20).

The Remnant is rising, a people marked not by denominational labels but by their allegiance to the Lamb. They are those who “follow the Lamb wherever He goes” (Revelation 14:4), refusing to bow to powerless traditions. The Spirit is forming them into living stones, a spiritual house built for His glory (1 Peter 2:5).

Their gatherings are not spectacles but encounters, where the dunamis of God heals, delivers, and transforms. As the prophet declared, “Is not My word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29). This Remnant is being forged in fire to shatter the strongholds of religion and release the Kingdom.

Now the Spirit is stirring the youth of this generation, igniting a holy hunger that cannot be satisfied by entertainment or theory. They long for the tangible presence of the Living God, and the Lord is answering with an outpouring: “I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy” (Joel 2:28).

This is a rallying cry to the Ecclesia: rise up, cast off the garments of religion, and clothe yourselves with Christ. The Spirit and the Bride together cry, “Come!” (Revelation 22:17), for the hour has come to stand as a prophetic witness in the earth. The Lord is raising His Remnant to legislate His will, to declare His Word, and to manifest His Kingdom in power and glory.

The trumpet of the Lord is sounding, and the Spirit is igniting a holy blaze within His chosen ones. This is the hour for the Remnant to arise with boldness, declaring, “Our God is a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29). No longer will the Bride be lulled by powerless religion or silenced by the spirit of compromise, for the Lion of Judah is roaring through His Ecclesia.

The fire of Pentecost is not history but present reality, and the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead is quickening His people to stand as witnesses of resurrection power. Let the Remnant burn with unquenchable zeal, for the nations will see the glory of the Lord revealed through a people ablaze with His presence.
