“Our Greatest Weapon Against Darkness”

Posted: December 8, 2021 in Uncategorized

Today, it would seem that the entire world stands in desperate need of divine intervention during these dark and dangerous days of one disaster after another. Our greatest weapon to combat the darkness is prayer! We must grasp the need to cry out to Almighty God for transforming power.

Beloved, never doubt that the prayers of the saints are awesome in power. Almighty God has given us the authority to bind and the power to set free. Only as we join in prayer, following the pattern released in 2 Chronicles 7:14, can we expect to see divine intervention.

“If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 AMPC)

First and foremost, we must humble ourselves. Scripture is clear: God resists the proud. We are clearly instructed to submit to God and resist the devil:

“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’ Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” (1 Peter 5:5-6 NKJV) (Photo via Unsplash)

Through Prayer, God Reveals Mighty Things

Scripture states that we have not because we ask not (see James 4:2-3). So we must ask.

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV)

Another translation of this passage reminds us that God has mighty, wonderful things hidden away for us when we are willing to pray them into our present:

“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).” (Jeremiah 33:3 AMPC)

Yes, it is true, God does hide things from us for us. “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing” (Proverbs 25:2 AMPC). Now is the time to unlock the true treasures of God. These are generational blessings.

“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29 AMPC)

Decide, Decree and Establish

“You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways.” (Job 22:28 AMPC) (Photo via Unsplash)

1. You shall decide (make up your mind).
2. You shall decree (tell God what it is).
3. It shall be established for you.

In summary, Scripture is stating: Make up your mind what you want; tell God what that is and He will get it for you.

Beloved, we can do nothing more powerful than praying!

Focus on the King of Glory and the Prince of Peace

During these days, keep your focus upon Christ the King. He is the Prince of Peace. Only as we keep our eyes and hearts firmly focused upon the King of glory do we have this perfect peace and tranquility (see Isaiah 26:3). Never forget, it is the God of peace that crushes the devil under our feet (see Romans 16:20).

God bless you and your family!

“May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. May you be blessed of the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth!” (Psalm 115:14-15)

A different kind of discipleship

“He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

There are two Universal Spiritual Principles found in John 3:30 that express two very fundamental truths.

First, that Christ must increase.

This is a principle that most Christians can agree with.

Are there any Christians who do not desire more of the Lord?

Are there any believers who do not long for a greater expression and revelation of Christ – in their personal walk, as well as in the world around them?

It is easy to align ourselves with this principle and pray in agreement with God’s Will – that Christ would be increased, and that the knowledge of Him would continue to grow and expand.

What is more difficult to affirm is the decrease of Self.

Yet this principle is as powerful and as sure as the first.

With more of Christ, there is less of me.

With more of me, there is less of Him.

And so, in order to cooperate with the first principle, we must overcome the “but” that stands between the two. “He must increase, but…”

Something hinders.

What gets it the way?

What prevents the increase of Christ?

It is me – or more accurately, the “I”, or the “Self” keeps getting in the way. And so, “I must decrease.”

The Disciple’s Journey

The Self-Life resists the Christ-Life.

The Holy Spirit seeks to increase Christ, while the human spirit seeks to increase Self.

We can have either one, but we cannot have both.

As Christ is increased, Self is decreased.

As Self is increased, Christ is decreased.

We begin our journey through life in a self-centered existence instead of a Christ-centered existence.

This is why we must be “born again.”

To be born again is to interrupt the self-centered pattern of our lives and open us up to the possibility of taking a different route and living a different life – a life that is Christ-centered instead of Self-centered.

Until this happens, it is impossible to love God and love our neighbor.

These two great commands are impossible to those who maintain a healthy connection to their Self-Life.

Loving others is impossible for ones who mostly love themselves.

This is the way of the world.

The way of a disciple of Jesus is a different way.

It is a way that cuts at the heart of self-love by making it possible for us to rise above Self-centeredness through Christ-centeredness.

Jesus describes it as a difficult, narrow way that few find.

Why is it so difficult? Because it strikes to the very core of who and what we are.

Even our very desire to follow Jesus can be self-centered.

Of course, we want to serve God; but we also hope to get a little something for ourselves.

Many people are drawn to the Lord with mixed motivations.

For example, the promise of a home in heaven is very appealing, as is avoiding the fires of hell.

But the Self-life is revealed in these subtle expressions that often appear spiritual and religious.

To follow Jesus for nothing other than the love of Jesus is the way of the disciple.

It is true that many follow Him imperfectly, and do so for many different reasons that they cannot fully explain or understand.

Fortunately for us, Jesus does not demand sinless perfection from the ones who follow Him.

His disciples make many mistakes and they often stumble and fall. Nor does Jesus require that we be spiritually mature and perfectly free from our Self-Life before He accepts us as disciples.

Dealing with the Self-Life is part of His discipleship program.

The very act of following Him begins a process that, if followed all the way to the end, results in what I call being reduced to Christ.

What does this mean? It means that when I began to follow the Lord, I may have had all kinds of motivations for doing so, and many of those motivations were self-serving and self-centered.

My very existence was rooted and strengthened by my Self-Life. But as I follow Him, and as He increases, more and more I find my self-centered ways being stripped away.

I find the power of Christ increasing within me, and I also find the power of Self is decreasing. With this process working simultaneously to increase Christ and decrease me, I find my motives are becoming more and more singular.

I am no longer following Jesus for what I hope to get out of it. Even my “mansion in heaven” does not seem so important anymore.

My many needs I find are not as urgent as they once were.

My many questions are not as essential as I once thought they were.

I have fewer questions, and so I require fewer answers.

Where I used to be troubled and vexed and concerned and stressed over “many things” it is becoming easier to focus on the “one thing” that is needed.

Christ is increasing, and everything else is decreasing.

My life, my purpose, my focus, my very existence is being condensed from many paths in pursuit of many things so that I am becoming more and more narrowly focused upon one thing.

Paul expresses it perfectly: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).

Power of the LOVE of God

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16, NKJV)

This verse became a reality to me on March 29, 2016 at 1:43 am. It was at that very time that I had a personal encounter with the Lord, for what seemed like several hours even though it was but 2 minutes in our time frame.

He took me back to the youngest age I could remember (around 3 years old) and from that point back to the NOW, He showed me how great His love was.

Through all the pain of a young child being ripped from the safety of family due to divorce, through all the years of drug addictions, ungodly sexual relations and other law-less behaviors.

Through all the guilt, shame and condemnation He showed me His passionate LOVE burning for me and how my actions never once caused His LOVE to loose it’s zeal. Even through all the years of being confined and lead by and even to the degree of operating under the influence of the spirit of religion.

Which was with a totally corrupt understanding and belief as to who the Father was, how He dealt with individuals. Yet He still LOVED me to the same degree of LOVE as when He first thought of me, before I even was a reality in the eternal time line.Since that time.

His LOVE has continued to reconstruct who I am, it still searches out anything within my soul that is not that which the Father desires of me and with spiritual surgical precision removes it.

Today I can attest to the factual truth, that if you are dealing with addictions, shame, guilt and or condemnation, you have never truly encountered the LOVE of God.

Yet when you do…your life will be radically transformed into who He has always purposed you to be – a Beloved child of the Father, walking in the fullness of you inheritance!!!!

Lost Art of Family

Posted: September 13, 2021 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, teaching, wilderness
Tags: , , ,

In studying the scriptures and getting revelation as to the Garden mandate, one thing is clear.

We were all seeded with an innate desire for fellowship in way of family before the foundation of the world was laid. Yet the truth be told – family is a disappearing aspect of our society in so many ways.

Now, Paul taught much in lue of military terms.

With that we must understand that in war there are valued long term alignments as well as necessary short term alignments. The same can be said of the Kingdom, from the man who supplied the colt for the Lord to make His triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

To the man who was carrying the picture of water, tasked with securing the room for the last supper, these were necessary how be it short term alignments.

Whereas Peter, John, James etc, were long term alignments.

We must understand there will be people who grace our lives with their presence who were purposed to be but temporary alignments.

Where as others we will make almost life long alignments.

But lets be nakedly honest. Some people are also rebellious as to the will of God and run from commitment when the fire starts to heat up.

As in all things, we must become extremely skilled in trusting the Lord while guarding our hearts so that we understand that not everyone who is walking with us today, will be walking with us tomorrow.

Not everyone was purposed to take the long path journey with us.

The reality is that it is our assignment and the long path ministry vision for which we ourselves must keep our eyes on. If we can maintain that understanding, that comes the peace that is beyond human understanding with birth in us an inner knowing that the Lord will be there with us every step of the way.

We can read in scripture as to how Jonathan was a dear close friend whom David loved and trusted with his own life. I think if we were dive deep into David’s life (and I have) we will find after Jonathans death there were very few that David felt comfortable putting his life in their hands. Yet, he grew in his trust of the Lord’s ability to watch over and keep him safe.

We are all created with a sense and longing for community. Some more so than others. I personally am content being deep in the woods, alone save my dog and there I am at total peace being surrounded by the Father’s creation of nature. An occasional interaction with people is enough to keep me going for days, even weeks. Even with out the woods, I am becoming more and more accustomed to my quiet time with Holy Spirit.

I’ve had a life time of people being there one moment only to begone the next.

Now, unlike many who mourn when someone is taking out of their life. Or walks out of their day to day functions of life, I sense a loss but only for a short time, as I quickly refocus on the assignment the Lord has for me.

Some may call it shell shocked or battle hardened.

Eitherway, for me, the Lord fills the void that others struggle with filling. (It use to be with addictions – Now its Jesus).

In studying the life of George Muller, I find comfort knowing that our lives are so much alike in many ways. He was a rebellious one before coming to the Lord, as was I. He had many alliances but few close friends, as have I. He grew to take the WORD at face value, spending little time in reading other peoples commentary. Instead, he found himself being far more comfortable listening to Holy Spirit’s interpretation.

And as to where his trust would be for financial matters and other needs? He trusted in the Lord to the point that he never publically asked (begged) people for help.

That is where my life is at this time, anchored in the TRUST of the Lord as well as Holy Spirit high-lighting the scriptures for me (I’ve found that fasting is a amazing study hall).

At the end of his life, we was left alone, save the comfort of the comforter.

To be honest, there are times I find myself there as well. My wife is still here and I find much comfort with and from her. Yet, her full-time work schedule and my ministry schedule at times can drain us as to personal interaction.

My son still lives at home, he is 17 and is in his senior year (need I say more).

All this to say, keep your faith in the Lord, love people but trust the Lord. Now you may be completely unlike me needing more interaction with other people. Just be careful and be on guard that they do not rob you of private time with the Father.

Some people can be so busy, even in “doing” ministry that they neglect to spend time with the most important one in their life, Abba.

However, if you are like me, be on guard that your love of solitude not rob others of the love, compassion and wisdom that the Father has poured into you to bless others.

The whole idea of the garden was that of family and its the one place that the enemy has never let up his attack, family. In many ways the art of being family has been lost. Gone with it, I fear so has the spirit of loyalty and commitment.

With so few true spiritual fathers and mothers, those who love as does our heavenly father. Those who are willing to share both a hug and hand of correction. Sadly the God inspired family system has all but become extinct.

Again, there is a place seeded in each one of before the foundations of this world which long for fellowship in way of family.

I recently ended a two year position as director of a discipleship mission. I labored for 18 months to usher in the sense and atmosphere of “family”. We had finally attained it and then the enemy enter a narcissist into the leadership ranks. His demand for control had a road block in front of it. Namely myself and because of that I endured several months of slander and charactor assacination. Add to that a leader who refuses to contront (Not really a leader) and the battle became entrenching.

I sought Godly counsel from seasoned vets who after much prayer said due to the inability of the head and founder of the ministry to discern and confront, the Father had released me from my commitment.

I can’t say it ended in failure on any level, as shortly after my resigning the position the door opened for my current position as senior pastor of a Church that my wife, son and I have been in relationship with since 2013. I was a monthly guest speaker for the past two years and have patiently laid the foundation of “Kingdom family”

We must remeber that not ever ministry that carries the name “Christian” is ordained of the Father. There are a multitude of Ismael ministries and Churches scattered across the Christioan horizon in America as well as abroad.

However, since the creation of the Garden and man it has always been the intention of the Father for a family. As senior pastor the vision the Lord has given me is the Garden mandate, to return to our original design and purpose, to be a family who thrive in the atmosphere of love for one and other and most importantly, love for the Fatrher, Son and Spirit.

Pressing past covid into Victory

Yahweh goes out to battle like a hero and stirs up his passion and zeal like a mighty warrior. Yes, his God-shout is a mighty battle cry; he will triumph heroically over all his foes. For a long time, I said nothing. I restrained myself and kept silent. Now I will groan, pant, and gasp like a woman in labor. I will level their hills and mountains and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn rivers into islands and dry up their lakes. (Isaiah 42:13-15, The Passion Translation)

Although I am now several days in the negative from covid, energy is still the issue.

I so badly want to be at the mission yet my body seems to just want to sleep.

So I sleep, read, war in the Spirit and sleep some more.

At times the warring in the Spirit crosses the realm lines of unconsciousness and consciousness and I find myself warring in my dreams.

Yet whether awake or a sleep, I am fully confident according to the Scriptures that as I am warring in Christ, I am always warring from a position of Victory He has already won.

Jesus warned us there would be battles, persecutions, trials and tribulations..

Yet Praise God, with that He promised us His Hell shaken PEACE grounded in the Truth that He is the Victorious Champion.

He has overcome everything the enemy and the rulers of this worlds system threw at Him and He has left them ALL in total defeat!!!

For those of you who are recovering from covid, press in and press on.

The Battle has already been won in Christ Jesus…

It is the time when the Warriors of the Kingdom must contend the hardest, for the break through Victory is close.

Don’t give in to the enemy, you shall prevail victorious in Christ, you are a mighty child of God and the enemy of our soul has already been defeated.

Now is the hour to press in and contend for the manifestation of the victory of the cross in our lives.

We shall come through this stronger then when the enemy first attackes us.

We are indeed more than conquerors in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Shalom.

Holy Spirit who?

Posted: July 1, 2021 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, wilderness
Tags: , , ,

But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, he has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, who constantly explores all things. After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by his Spirit, the Spirit of God. (1 Corinthians 2:10-11, TPT)

I find it way to often when counseling people that they have no real relationship with Holy Spirit.

Now one needs but look out across the country to see the vacancy of Kingdom influeance. It is clearly evident that very few who call themselves followers of Jesus truly read & meditate on the Word and sadly even more evident that few engage in conversations with Holy Spirit.

How can you discern between your own hearts voice and that of the Father if you spend no time in conversation with Him?The majority of people that I meet who attend a “Church” are often very knowledgeable about the quotes of their favorite Pastor yet as to the actual words of Jesus, not so much other than the popular often quoted scriptures.

I find that many are far more reliant on getting answers from man then they are the spirit, and they wonder why they are not experiencing the abundant life.

The Father says in His Word: This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:5)

Now for years I beleived that God would put a curse on me for this, because having not spent time in His Word with the very One who He sent to guide me into all spiritual truth, Holy Spirit I found myself sitting under bewitching religious doctrinal opinions of the nature of the Father which were totally false. He is not a judge sitting on bench, eager to pour His wrath out on all who didn’t follow His way.

This isn’t a threat from the Father, rather a warning that if you trust in man, you walk in a limited place of wisdom & blessing, whereas if you trust in Him you are walking in the realm of inexhaustible blessings.

Basically it would be like trusting the repairs of your vehicle to your neighbor who has spent his entire life putting mere models of cars together rather than entrusting it to a skilled and professional mechanic.

Holy Ghost has become my best friend, we talk constantly throughout the day, when I read the Bible or open a book, I invite Him to join with me, to highlight the truth as well as any error that may be written (yes that is including the translations of scripture).

Here is an often quoted scripture but rarely is it put to use by the pew warming crowds who go to participate in the favorite religious performance once or twice a week.

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)

I personally have reached the place in my life where I am totally surrendered to the place of complete peace being at the mercy of the Lord’s guidance and provision. If He doesn’t give me wise advise, or show up and provide it could turn out to be a disaster, yet I have found that He is soever faithful in holding to His promises.

I will end with this eternal truth:

Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go. (Proverbs 3:5-6, TPT)

Is this the hour of the sons of God manifestation?

I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us.

The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!

For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin.

But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children. (Romans 8:18-21, The Passion Translation)

Is this the Hour of manifestation….

Jesus came into this world to impart to us an inheritance that nothing in the cosmos can compare to. For with the same passionate desire that the Father sent Him in, so is it His desire to see everyone of His disciples sent.

That is, having been sent impregnated with the power & supernatural reality of His Kingdom manifesting in and through us.

He gave His life for this and trained His disciples to fully take possession of every single thing He conquered on our behalf.Time to return to discipling as did Jesus…

Jesus poured Himself into His disciples to ensure they understood the realities of His Kingdom.

They in turn taught those whom they discipled with the same passionate desire to where the first century Church not only understood it, they walked in the supernatural Kingdom realities.

Over the centuries, the spirit of religion has woven its bewitching doctrines into the Church, robbing the Father’s children of the truth pertaining to their inheritance leading up to this present hour to where the Church is pretty much sterile, lacking the Revelation seeds to continue reproducing Heaven’s realm here on earth.

Yet Glory to God, Holy Spirit is now calling out to the Remnant with the orders from the Throne of the Eternal King, now is the hour to awaken My bride!!!

Are you too hearing the sound? Is your Spirit man becoming more active with an unction to regain the rightful place of leadership within your being?

There are pockets of His Remnant gathering around the globe including right here in the United States.

If your seeking a place with the freedom to be the unique you that the Father purposed you to be from before the foundations of the world and live in the North Florida region.

You’ll want to come and check out our Spirit & Fire Night’s at the Seawalk Hotel located at 117 1st Ave N, Jacksonville Beach Florida.

We gather each Saturday Night in the courtyard starting at 5:00 pm

(This week it will be held on Sunday starting at 4:00 pm for the 4th of July celebration)

Hope to see you there, come with a hungry heart filled with the anticipation to experience the supernatural, for Heaven has been joining in and each week the sound of Heaven is shaking the gates of hell as the Father is about to tear them down.

(We also have teachings Monday – Thursday Nights in the training room which is the storefront closest to the beach at the mission located at the Sea walk Hotel. The teachings run from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm, All are welcome)

The example of Jesus

The Example of Jesus Christ…..He existed in the form of God, yet he gave no thought to seizing equality with God as his supreme prize. Instead he emptied himself of his outward glory by reducing himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human! He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion! Philippians 2:6-7, The passion translation

Many need to read this, meditating upon it with Holy Spirit opening their eyes to it.

A personal reflection…

One day a Holy conviction shook my heart. Holy Spirit pointed out how I was chasing the recognition, respect and honor of man – basically seeking my own glory.

He showed me how I had spent years studying the fundamentals of the Church i.e. it’s traditions, rituals & culture, not to glorify God the Father rather to draw attention to how knowledgeable I was.

In reality I had become very heart hardened religious fool, an unknowing puppet in the evil ones hands.

I would pray loud long prayers not to bring healing or deliverance to people rather to draw attention to how great I was at praying.

I am so thankful that the Father loves me enough to bring correction and discipline when needed.

My whole desire today is to draw people’s attention to look upon the Lord, for He alone is able to rescue them, to bring healing & deliverance.

He alone is worthy of all the Praise, Honor & Glory!!!

Now, having been captivated by the spirit of religion for so many years, I can recognize it quickly, I can even smell it’s ugly evil presence.

This can be good or be bad, depending on whether one chooses to walk in a high level of mercy.

Or one can incorrectly sit and remain eating from the tree of of the knowledge of good & evil or choose to eat from the tree of life.

Learning from the example Jesus lived as us, I am so thankful & walk daily dependant upon Holy Spirit guidance to remind me it is not the person rather it is the spirit that is holding them in the same prison that it held me in for twelve + years ref 2 Corinthains 10:4, Ephesians 6:12.

But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you. (John 14:26, The Passion Translation)

You cannot believe right unless you are hearing right.

Holy Spirit is the one who will give testimony as to whether what we are hearing or reading is truth.

There are many false teachers and teachings out there and whether or not you believe that the pastor/teacher you are listening to is speaking only the Gospel truth.

You must ask and confirm with Holy Spirit so that you are confident that you are not being deceived.

Even when I am teaching I tell those listening “Don’t take my word for it, ask Holy Spirit if it be true”

Paul wrote these words of wisdom to the Thessalonians:

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, New King James Version)

Yes, the Father has blessed us with Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist and Shepherd teachers.

Yet, let us remember that the enemy operates under the system of counterfeiting, so we must seek Holy Spirit, who can not be deceived, as to whether what we are being taught is truth or not.

The good news is that under the guidance of Holy Spirit we will mature into the place via His training to where we will begin to listen to only what the Father is saying in the Spirit, as did our Lord. For then what is not of the Father will be clearly seen as false.

Now is the hour that the Remnant must rise up, the world is a ripe harvest field, let us gather the generation we have been blessed to be part of in History.

Where are the warriors of Light

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. (Isaiah 60:1-4, KJV)

It should not be any wonder as to the moral decay of this nation when you have an American Church that is Hell bent on complaining about everything from the what new worship leader dresses like all the way to who should have won the recent “Voice” contest on T.V.


Whereas the first century Church was wired to pray that the city would be won for Christ, and let us lift up so and so’s family as the father was dipped in oil lit on fire last night for being a follower of Jesus.


We have a nation where the ranking of their favorite football team drowns out the cry of the innocent ones being traded as sex slaves in the shadow of our cities or being murdered in the safety of their mothers womb.


Where are the all night prayer vigils being held, where families gather and rend the Heavens for the lost in their city?


We will get into deep debates on who should hold such and such political office, yet our streets, schools, cities and whole regions are being led into deeper and deeper spiritual darkness.


It’s time for the Bride to not only wake up, but to also Light-up and become who she has always been destined to be, a people who crush spiritual strongholds, and push the realms of darkness out of the neighborhoods, cities and entire regions.


It’s time to stop putting their money into hidden boxes or into the systems of this world hoping to hit the lottery of retirement plans and start investing into the fight on the front lines, into Kingdom stations where lives are really being transformed.


It’s time that the Bride become the Master of financial systems that bring Glory to God rather than be slaves to a worldly economic system which imprisons people to be at their mercy.


If the world were dependant upon the army of God in this nation to defend her from the invasion of the armies of darkness, well we would be in the crisis as a nation such as we are right now!!!

Th is nation needs to see a rise of the burning ones, whose tongues aren’t bridaled by the fear of man rather they are emboldened to speak the truth regardless of the cost. Jesus has asked not one of His followers to surrender to the fear of man. In fact His teachings lead us to a different direct – “You white washed tombs who have all the appearance of being clean to the outsiders, but those with Kingdom eyes bear wintess to your being dead on the inside”( Matthew 23:27 my own translation). “You brood of vipers” (Matthew 12:34-37), “You sons of Satan – you children of the Father of lies” (John 8:44). These are all words from the King of Glory’s mouth.

I am not afraid of man nor the opinions of man. I speak the truth as I see with the hopes of waking up the sleeping army of God. It is not a day in which we can have the luxury of being politically correct. There is the life of a nation and another generation at stake.

If you live in the Jacksonville Florida area I invite you to come to one of the training sessions at the Beaches Rescue & Recovery Mission, especially the 6:00 – 7:00 pm ones going on Monday – Thursday nights.

Or join us on Saturday evening’s from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm in the courtyard. For here you will not only hear but also see what the power of the True Gospel does to an individual whose surrendered their lives to followin the way of Jesus.

There is a mandate on this mission to raise up demon stomping, Mountain Moving Disciples who have been discipled in the teaching of Jesus Christ and His Aposltes in the New Testament.
