“Destined for This: A Warrior’s Surrender to God’s Assignment”

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.

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

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.

The Testimony That Hell Couldn’t Stop

When I look back over my life through the lens of Revelation 12:11, I can see the unmistakable thread of God’s mercy woven through every season. From the earliest years—born into a home marked by violence and alcoholism, then taken at age three and moved from state homes to foster homes—the Lord was already preserving me even when I did not know Him.

By fifteen I had fallen into drugs, and by sixteen into crime, drifting between the streets and instability. Scripture says in Psalm 139:8, “If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there,” and now I can see that even in those dark places, His hand never let me go. Homelessness, broken relationships, and multiple suicide attempts only magnified how desperately I needed the God my mother had prayed to all her life.

At thirty‑eight I finally surrendered to the Lord, and He began rebuilding what hell had tried to destroy. Marriage, the birth of my son, ministry school, and work followed, yet in 2007 a sudden heart attack threatened to end everything. God intervened with miraculous healing, removing all damage and proving Psalm 103:3 true—“He heals all your diseases.” Even so, I carried a heavy cloud of depression, and though I earned a doctorate in theology in 2015, my view of the Father was distorted by a harsh, condemning theology. When rejection and a false image of God mix, they create a storm of guilt, shame, and condemnation that shadows every step.

By the time I was invited to a ministry retreat, I was desperate for God to speak, convinced that if He didn’t, I would disappear into my old life and leave my family in fear. In the early hours of March 29, 2016, I awoke to a voice saying, “Get up.” No one was in the room or hallway, yet the voice came again: “Read My Word.” When I opened my Bible to John 3:16, the Lord drew me into a vision, taking me back to age three, hiding under the kitchen sink while chaos erupted around me.

This time, unlike my memory of fear and loneliness, Jesus was there, fulfilling His promise in Hebrews 13:5, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

He walked me through every moment of rejection, sin, and disappointment, showing me that in each one, the Father loved me and had never abandoned me. When the vision ended, only two minutes had passed, yet it felt like hours in His presence. I felt clean for the first time in my life—inside and out—as every trace of guilt, shame, and condemnation washed away like Isaiah 1:18 declares. His final instruction was simple: “Study the Gospel of John until you find your identity.” Over the next several years, I discovered—as John did—that I am a beloved son, cherished by the Lord.

In 2017 doctors found five nodules on my lungs, but after nearly two years of prayer, they vanished without explanation. Then on November 14, 2023, the enemy attempted once more to take my life through a massive stroke. Yet again the Lord healed me completely, proving Psalm 118:17 true—“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” My entire journey stands as a testimony that the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony truly overcome the darkness.

Anyone who feels lonely, bound by addiction, or worn down by the relentless assaults of the enemy can find the same freedom I found in Jesus Christ. The cross is still the place where every chain breaks, every burden lifts, and every lie of the devil loses its power, for Jesus declared in John 8:36, “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.”

No matter the guilt, shame, disappointment, or darkness that has followed you, the Father stands ready to receive you with mercy and restore what hell tried to destroy. Bring every wound, every failure, and every hidden battle to the feet of Jesus, and watch Him do what only a loving Father can do. My testimony—and every miracle the Lord has worked in my life—is a quiver full of arrows reminding the enemy that he has lost, and Christ has already won.

Today, thanks to Yeshua HaMashiach my life stands as living proof of what the Father can do when a broken story is placed in His hands. I am joyfully married, walking in a covenant that reflects the goodness and restoration of the Lord. My son is faithfully serving to protect our nation, a testimony to God’s covering and grace over our family.

I have the honor of pastoring a powerful Kingdom family that hungers for the authentic Gospel of Jesus Christ and lives to advance His purposes on the earth. The Lord has also entrusted me to write more than forty books on the faith and to co‑found Remnant Warrior Ministries—an international work carrying the mandate to disciple mountain‑moving believers who know their identity, walk in authority, and refuse to bow to the darkness of this age.

Radical Faith in a Rebellious Age: Forged for the Fire

Posted: July 10, 2025 in Prophetic, Remnant, wilderness
Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

“For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen to the instruction of the Lord; Who say to the seers, ‘You must not see visions’; And to the prophets, ‘You must not prophesy the truth to us. Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.’”
— Isaiah 30:9–10

We live in a time when the prophetic voice is being muted by a culture more concerned with comfort than consecration. A generation is rising that calls evil good and good evil, demanding illusions over truth, entertainment over holiness, and compromise over conviction. The sobering cry of Isaiah echoes now louder than ever.

But God is not silent. He is issuing a challenge—a holy summons to His people:

Will you stand in truth when it costs you favor?
Will you speak what I say even when they threaten to walk away?
Will your faith hold in the fire, or will you bend beneath the pressure of popular religion?

This is the challenge of the Lord. It’s not just a call—it’s a separation. A threshing. A dividing of wheat from chaff. And only those forged in radical faith will emerge as vessels fit for revival.

Faith Formed in the Valley of Testing

Radical faith is not born in atmospheres of ease—it is forged in fire, silence, and sorrow. It’s born when Heaven seems quiet, and Hell seems loud. When prayers hang suspended in the void and the only answer is “trust Me.”

To walk by faith is to believe in the midst of contradiction—to embrace the promise before the evidence appears.

Radical faith refuses to be defined by delay. It isn’t derailed by the absence of manifestation. It walks forward when the path disappears, because it knows the God who parted seas still walks with those who dare to believe.

Warriors Wanted: The Fight for Pure Faith

Paul’s call to “Fight the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12) is not poetic—it’s a battle command. Because radical faith is warfare. It wars against delay, discouragement, and deception. It slays the idols of predictability and tears down the altars of passivity. And it anchors itself to the Word of the Lord, even when the outcome looks dead.

We are not called to blend into culture—we are called to challenge it. To be voices that will not echo the popular tone but thunder with the cadence of Heaven.

The remnant is rising—not to be liked, but to be loyal.
Not to be safe, but to be surrendered.
Not to comfort the rebellious, but to confront them with love and truth.

The Lord’s Challenge: Will You Risk It All?

Here’s the charge of the hour:

  • Do not dilute the Word.
  • Do not prophesy to please.
  • Do not trade your oil for influence.
  • Do not forsake obedience for applause.

The Lord is looking for those who will speak what He says, even when it costs them position, invitation, and approval. Prophets who won’t prophesy illusions. Seers who won’t turn their gaze away. Watchmen who refuse to sleep.

And warriors whose faith is louder than fear.

Radical Faith is Fragrant to Heaven

Your surrender isn’t invisible. Your pain is not pointless. Your faith is rising like incense before the throne. The Lord sees the valley. And it has not disqualified you—it’s preparing you.

Think of:

  • Abraham, who walked with no map, only a promise.
  • David, who chose worship while being hunted.
  • Hannah, who poured her soul out and still believed.

They didn’t just believe for breakthrough—they became vessels of it.

So will you.

A Prophetic Declaration for the Remnant

Speak this boldly:

I will not trade truth for comfort.
I will not prophesy illusions.
I will speak what the Lord says, even when it’s unpopular.
My radical faith will birth revival.
My valley will be my proving ground.
I will rise—not for recognition, but for righteousness.
The Word of the Lord in my mouth will not return void.

Get Ready – The Remnant is Rising

In this present hour, as darkness seeks to envelop the world and extinguish the flame of righteousness, there is a clarion call echoing through the realms of heaven and earth. It is a call to arms, a summons to gather the remnant, the faithful few who shall stand as an unyielding force against the onslaught of evil.

For the rise of the Lord’s last days army is upon us, and its purpose is to herald the dawn of a new era, an era of unprecedented glory and triumph. Who are these remnants, these chosen warriors who shall bear the standard of the Almighty?

They are not the proud and self-righteous, but the humble and contrite. They are those who have been broken by the weight of sin and yet have found grace and redemption at the foot of the cross. They are those who have endured trials and tribulations with steadfast faith, their spirits unyielding in the face of adversity. They are those who have renounced the allurements of the world and embraced the narrow path of righteousness.

The remnant is rising, and they are rising to meet a destiny that has been ordained from the foundation of the world. They are the ones who will carry the torch of truth into the darkest corners of the earth. They are the ones who will stand firm against the powers of darkness, their hearts ablaze with the fire of the Holy Spirit.

They are the ones who will proclaim the gospel of salvation to all who will hear, and they will do so with power and boldness, unashamed of their faith. The remnant is rising, and their ranks are swelling with every passing day. From all corners of the globe, from every tribe and tongue and nation, they are coming together to form an unstoppable force.

They are farmers and teachers, doctors and lawyers, students and homemakers. They are young and old, rich and poor, strong and weak. But they are all united by a common bond—their love for God and their desire to see His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. The remnant is rising, and they are not afraid.

They know that the battle ahead will be fierce, but they also know that they are fighting on the winning side. For the Lord Himself is their captain, and with Him at their head, they cannot fail. They will face persecution and hardship, but they will not be deterred.

They will be slandered and mocked, but they will not be silenced. For they are the remnant, the last days army of the Lord, and they are destined to prevail. So let us join our voices with the remnant and declare to the world that the Lord is rising! Let us cast aside our fears and doubts and embrace the destiny that God has called us to fulfill. For the rise of the remnant is here, and the victory is ours! Get Ready – The Remnant is Rising

The question is brothers and sisters, Are you ready?

Beyond the Shadows: A Journey from the Life of Addiction to Absolute Freedom in Christ, written by Dr. Russell Welch

Preface

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

 – Albert Camus

I

In the heart of every person lies a yearning for freedom, a desire so profound and universal that it transcends the physical realm, touching the very essence of our being. This book is a testament to the transformative power of faith, a journey from the depths of addiction into the liberating embrace of absolute freedom in Christ. It is not merely a collection of words but a beacon of hope for those who feel ensnared by the chains of addiction, broken relationships, and disillusionment with traditional religious practices.

I was compelled to write this book not out of a desire to tell my story, but from a place of deep empathy and understanding for those who are where I once was. Struggling in the darkness, feeling utterly lost, and craving something more than what this world could offer. Through my own journey of falling and rising, I discovered a profound truth: true freedom is found not in escaping life’s trials but in facing them head-on with Christ by your side.

This book aims to bridge the gap between despair and hope, offering readers not just anecdotal evidence but tangible, practical steps towards embracing their own journey towards spiritual enlightenment and leadership. It is tailored for individuals who seek more than just fleeting moments of faith; it is for those who yearn for a radical transformation that infuses every aspect of their lives with purpose, impact, and an unwavering relationship with God.

I’ve woven throughout these pages the stories of individuals—hypothetical yet deeply rooted in reality—who mirror the struggles and aspirations of our intended readers. These narratives serve as both mirrors and windows: mirrors reflecting back your own experiences with unflinching honesty, and windows opening up to vistas of what could be if you dare to believe in what God can do through you.

Inspiration for this work sprang from various sources—personal encounters with grace, the poignant stories of those I’ve had the privilege to mentor, and most importantly, my own narrative of redemption. This journey would have been impossible without the unwavering support of family, friends, and mentors who believed in me even when I had lost all belief in myself.

As you invest your time and attention into these pages, know that you are not merely reading a book. You are embarking on a voyage towards discovering an unshakeable foundation for your life. This book is for anyone who feels trapped in cycles of addiction and disillusionment but craves a genuine transformation. It requires no prerequisites other than an open heart and a willingness to explore the depths of your soul.

Thank you for choosing to embark on this journey with me. My prayer is that as you turn each page, you will find yourself drawing closer to the absolute freedom that awaits you in Christ. May this book be a guidepost, illuminating your path as you navigate through the shadows towards a life filled with light, purpose, and an intimate relationship with God.

Continue reading, dear traveler, for within these chapters lies the blueprint for a life transformed—a life beyond the shadows.

Honoring those who have influenced our lives and ministries

I was recently reading a book written by one who fathered me spiritually early on at the beginning of my ministry days, Dr. Don Lynch. The Lord used this mighty man of God to pour into my life, important and strategic strategies pertaining to authentic Kingdom ministry.

In his book “Fathering -Transforming Individuals and Nations”, he writes the following:

“What is riotous living to a spiritual prodigal? It is wasting inheritance and spending money on substitutes instead of building a proper family: prodigals can’t produce heirs with a prostitute. The prodigal lost it all and respect for himself.

Abandoning their covenant with father, fleeing real intimacy, and joining themselves to strangers, prodigal children cut off spiritual generations. Starving and living with pigs, fighting for the last rotten husks, he lost his identity as a son and inheritor.”

As I read this, Holy Spirit began to show me how important spiritual fathers are, and how Dr.Don had really laid important Kingdom foundational stones in my life.

To be honest, I had walked away from his leadership for a couple of years, not necessarily in rebellion as much as taking a journey on a road that angled me into a wilderness season. Which we both saw in this spirit and talked about several years ago.

In fact, in 2021 the Lord began reconnecting us as I was a director at a local homeless discipleship ministry, which challenged me in many ways.

Due to those challenges, the Lord opened the door for me to seek counsel from Dr. Don (I needed a strong Apostolic voice to speak direction as well as correction into my life) and we were looking at opportunities that would allow me to bring some of these disciples to attend prayer meetings, and one of the ministries with Ministry Matrix, that really impacted my life, David’s Mighty Army.

We had planned on meeting after he went through and recovered from heart surgery, however, due to unforeseen complications, he graduated to be with the Lord.

One of the things we had been discussing was the importance of Integrity and Honor and the need for the Body in this region to become unified in advancing the Kingdom. As many of the ministries in this city and region were started not out of calling but rather out of rebellion, rejection, bitterness, and offense.

One of the last conversations we had was about whether I should accept the role of senior pastor at Highway to Heaven Church. I can remember the sound of his voice when he said;

“Son, I believe this is of the Lord, all these years have prepared you for this opportunity, and I know that you are ready”. And he followed up with “You know I am here rooting for you and you can depend on my helping you in any way I can”.

We also discussed the need for our ministries to be united in advancing the Kingdom in the city and region rather than one being “Greater” than the other, even though different in certain aspects of our assignments, that we were united in Spirit.

Although he is with the Lord now, he is still helping me through the collection of messages I have gathered over the years, including the recording of a number of prophetic words he spoke over my wife, my life, and our marriage. The one I truly value is the recording of our ordination under Ministry Matrix in 2007.

I will always honor Dr. Don, his wife Ruthanne, and Freedom House and the role that they have played in my life. With that honor, I stand with that House of the Lord and will continue to pray that everyone there is blessed with revelation, Holy Spirit strategies, and continued growth.

It was because of Dr. Don that I became acquainted with the Ministry of Dutch Sheets, which ultimately led me to the ministry of Damon Thompson and the Kingdom families connected to his ministry, as well as Chuck Peirce, whose ministry I was commissioned under as an Apostolic teacher, and Apostle Tim Sheets.

These powerful men are the current apostolic voice that Holy Spirit has me listening to in this current hour. Several years ago, under the urgent directives of the Father, I surrendered to the governing authority of Holy Spirit with regard to choosing the voices that I listen to.

The list is short but I will share it here: Dutch and Tim Sheets, Chuck Peirce, Ken Malone, and Damon Thompson. These along with a few others that I have found through Dutch Sheets to be authentic Kingdom voices which are Greg Hood and Gina Gholston.

Let me be totally honest here friends, there is only one FreedomHouse here in Jacksonville and although some may try and mimic it in ministry style and assignment, like those who adhere to the replacement theology regarding the Church and Israel, I see them as being outside the authentic Kingdom.

As to trying to mimic Freedhouse or any other ministry for that matter, well that is a line I will never cross. In fact, I believe it is of utmost importance that if we want to be pleasing to the Father, we MUST each seek our own assignment and calling and stay focused on advancing the Kingdom as Holy Spirit leads.

I give Glory to the Father for allowing such a mighty man of God, as Dr. Don Lynch, to have been a vital part of my ministry training and life in general.

I am under Holy Spirit conviction, that had it not been for men such as Dr. Don Lynch I would still be wandering about as a drifter in the Kingdom trying to imitate someone elses ministry and calling rather than having found who I am in Christ and what His calling for my life’s destiny truly is.

Many of his books if not all are on Amazon, including “Fathering”, and I recommend them all.

The Governing authority of Holy Spirit is about to shake the nations!!!

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, a small rock and upon the large rock I will build my congregation, [Gr. ekklesia – called out ones] and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou shalt bind on the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever thou shalt loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heaven. (Matthew 16:17-19, Jubilee)

The Ekklesia was never meant to be a spectator platform where the religious elite show off their talents and people live out their Kingdom assignments through the stories of what others are doing.

The Ekklesia was established to be a living, moving active assembly of Heaven’s governmental authorities here on Earth, governing the cultures, business, educational institutes, medical field, and even the governments of this world.

The spirit of religion since the beginning of the New Testament Ekklesia has sought to limit if not completely deny access to any aspect of the culture. It did so in the beginning through Jewish Religious sects which sought to infiltrate and implement the legalistic doctrines that man had instituted in their own religion of Judaism.

Now, history shows that all these attempts failed to slow down the Kingdom’s growth, especially after having their main Temple of worship in Jearsulam destroyed around 70 A.D. which sent these bands of Jewish legalists scattering around the known world.

For a number of years, the Ekklesia of the LORD began to flourish as the Gospel was taken to the ends of the known world. That is until in and around 325 A.D. when under the governing authority of the Roman Emperor Constantine the creation of the paganistic Roman Catholic church was established. For again, history records that over a series of years through oftentimes employing brutal force, this paganistic religious cult sent the Ekklesia of the LORD, which had been known up to that point as “People of The Way” underground.

The Ekklessia remained underground through the centuries, however, we have historical writings that prove the Father has kept His remnant alive throughout the generations since the time they we sent into hiding. We also have historical accounts where they would begin to move in the supernatural realms of the miraculous, with conforms signs, miracles, and wonders. It really the LIGHT of His Gospel was never created to remain hidden behind veils of darkness.

In the 1500’s we saw the rise of a religious organization which has been known as the Protestant Church break away from and separate itself from the majority of the Catholic teaching and traditions.

However even as Luther himself never wanted to not be Catholic, the spiritual residue of the Catholic Church has never fully been eradicated from the Protestant Church. Thus to door to allow the “spirit of religion’s” influence has remained open and it has many times squashed the movement of the Ekklesia from fully liberating itself from the grips of religion.

But again, the Father has kept His Holy Remnant in every generation, waiting for that Kiaros moment on the eternal calendar to raise them up to reclaim their rightful place as His government officials here on Earth and begin to enforce the victory of His Son on the cross and reclaim His Kingdoms reign on Earth even as it is in Heaven.

And Heaven has declared, Remant Warriors of the LORD, it is time to come out from the wilderness and take your ordained positions as Kings and Priests of the Kingdom of God here on Earth (Revelations 1:6).

Saints, we are now in that very hour and as the prophets have been decreeing, the Father is about to shake Heaven and Earth with a mighty Spiritual Reset!!!

Holy Spirit Governed Kingdom Hubs?

Holy Spirit is strategically raising up Kingdom Hubs, ruled by His governing authority….

One needs but turn on the news or visit the inner city of pretty much any of our cities in this nation to see that lost humanity needs a divine encounter that only the Lord can provide through Holy Spirit and His sons & daughters.

We would have to be completely spiritually blind not to see that the world is at a crisis tipping point, hanging over the edge, and teetering on the brink of destruction. All of creation is groaning, you can see it and hear it in the people.

The only hope is a revealing (which is currently taking place) of the sons & daughters of the LORD, for which all of the cosmos is eagerly waiting (Romans 8:22).

The plans of the Father are clear, which is to raise up ALL of His children in the fullness of both the grace gifts of Christ in their lives and the gifts of Holy Spirit to reach our lost and dying world.

Those who are hearing this call must separate themselves from the constraints of the religious institutions that are dotted like spotted cows across the landscape of America.

Granted, such places have the appearance of godliness in the works that they perform. However, these “programs” are mere religious coverings, which upon closer examination, one with a spiritually discerning Spirit can clearly see are but a means to gather more donors to enrich their institutional model’s financial stability when in reality they are robbing the LORD’s children of their birth-rights as mountain movers.

Far too many are being deceived by these religious works programs that, again, have the appearance of pleasing the Father.

Yet at the same time, Holy Spirit is revealing the darkness behind these hideous religious schemes to draw more victims into their religious prisons aka “Religious Social clubs” that deny one from truly experiencing the liberation meant for the Saints. They instead cause their victims to become addicted to the weekly religious entertainment and drag them into a deeply seated soulish prison of guilt for not becoming more involved in the promotions of the organizations.

As He has in every generation, the LORD is establishing Remnant hubs across this nation, many are regional, however, in some of the heavily populated cities, there is a matrix of these Remnant families positioned throughout the neighborhoods. Some meet in homes, whereas others meet in multi-purpose spaces.

I believe, having heard countless testimonies, that when one is able to break free from the life-sucking grips of these religious institutions, upon finding an authentic Kingdom family, they find the powerful anointing of Christ present in each of the”Living Stones” who make up the family which is magnified in the gatherings to where the force of Holy Spirit anointing in each ones life (even in the children). For the government of Holy Spirit associated with His leadership witnesses the power of His Spiritual influence and strength, destroying every yoke of the devil, especially those that the spirit of religion has placed upon their lives.

These individuals are literally being freed from the terror-filled guilt and shame-laced garments of religion that have held them prisoner. Some for but a few years while others are freed from countless years, even decades of religious torture. And this Spiritual freedom is like a fast-acting medicine, as the fire of Holy Spirit’s anointing flows rapidly through their veins, freeing them to experience the LIFE of victory that they’ve always longed for.

Many quickly become set free from addictions and spiritual bondage that they tried to escape for years. Upon tasting the Goodness of the LORD LOVE, many for the first time, and seeing Jesus for who He truly is, causes some to simply break down and weep with cries of “How cloud I have been so deceived?”

“Testmonies are being heard of these Holy Spirit governed supercharged family gatherings where the atmosphere of the LORD’s Glory is being experienced”

Such testimonies are being made in these gatherings, sprouting from the Kingdom family shouts of JOY, as they are heard rejoicing as they witness the glory of the LORD brightly shining upon the faces of these new brothers & sisters, as they watch the waves of His glorious grace wash over them, cleansing them completely of the religion slime that has become attached to their lives.

Testimonies of how marriages are being renewed, physical ailments are healed, and even relationships between parents and their children are being restored.

And I am fully convinced that these gatherings are going to increase as we enter this Kingdom Re-set that His prophets have been prophesying.

Friend(s), if you are hungering to experience the real Kingdom, to become part of a real Kingdom family, possibly even become part of one that the Father is just starting to breathe His breath of life upon, spend some time in prayer & fasting, asking Holy Spirit to direct you to such a group. He so loves to bring people into the Kingdom of LIGHT, freeing them from the prison of dead, dark, and cold religion, so that the Father may be glorified!!!

Time to come out of the religious harlot

“The Remnant knows that it is not pleasing to the Father when people attempt to “do” Church in a style that is pleasing to Him. For it is only when His sons & daughters live out the revelation of “being” His Church that His heart is moved” #SELAH

In the years that followed the pagan emperor Constantine’s establishment of the Roman Catholic Church, they brutally overtook the “The Way”, that is, those dedicated and faithful followers of Christ’s teachings as passed down from His Apostles.

Thus they placed the narrow path of being the Lord’s disciples into a blurred maze of religious doctrines. We need to realize this truth for the reality is that although the protestant Church has tried, they are still deeply settled in the Romanization of the Church.

Luther never desired to not be a Roman Catholic. However he was booted out (excommunicated), but his desire to remain in their rituals and traditions was clearly transferred over to the Protestant Church, with a basic change in terms, names, and titles. And with the continued practicing of pretty much of the same religious ritual practices, it is clear that they are still steeped in the confines of religious doctrines.

Nonetheless, because of the unwillingness to totally become separated from Catholicism, the leadership of the modern-day Church remained removed from the governing authority of Holy Spirit and continued to be placed in the hands of men (especially those who adhere to and remain entrenched in the doctrinal teachings of Western theological Christianity).

But that is all about to radically change, as Holy Spirit is currently moving Heaven and Earth as He re-establish His Government in and over the Lord’s Ekklesia. He is doing so with the help of His Angel army in unison with the LORD’s remnant in this generation who have commissioned and Spiritually empowered to expose and tear down the walls of religion that have been keeping the Lord’s children in the dark.
