So give Your servant an understanding mind and a hearing heart [with which] to judge Your people, so that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge and rule this great people of Yours?” (1 Kings 3:1-15, AMP)

A half key will never unlock a door, especially a prison door. The spirit of religion knows this which is why it continues to give access to half-truths, which isn’t the truth at all. For truth to be true it has to be centered in the revelation of Jesus, for from Him all truth flows.

A partial truth is lacking in the fullness of Christ, even as many have been led to believe they can follow Jesus either on a part-time basis or a negotiated settlement. Regarding His Lordship the Bible is clear, there is no room nor clause for negotiation, it is His way only. He Himself is clear in His Word when He says “those who obey ALL my commands”.

If you were to ask the average Church attendee what was it that Solomon prayed for they would respond “Wisdom”. This is true however only partially true, for he also asked for revelation knowledge seen in his request for a hearing heart.

Many today, being filled with pride over their “knowledge of the Word” they claim to have is a religious prison that not only alters their walk but can also be a stumbling block to those seeking the truth to whom they are connected.

Wisdom without revelation and Holy Ghost discernment can be an open door for the enemy. In certain cases that open door can lead one to believe they have been called by God to rid the world of a whole ethnic group, such as in the case of Adolf Hitler.

Now that is an extreme example but no less devastating is it when it causes a division within a family or causes a division with a local congregation. In both cases, destinies can be altered and even destroyed.

Jesus never commanded His disciples to get degrees in the academic world. when Paul encouraged young Timothy to study to show himself approved, he was not referring to the New Testament scriptures, he was telling Timothy to study Jesus, to get so close in his relationship with him that anything that was not of Christ would be quickly discerned and discarded, or used to sound the alarm to others of its falsehood.

So let us all ask the Father for that which Soloman asked, wisdom with revelation. For in the days to come we need to clearly hear what Holy Spirit is saying. Not what our heart is saying or what is the newest fade in the world of Christianity, but what is Holy Spirit saying, for He alone has the title of the promised One, who just like Jesus howbeit without the fleshly body will lead us in “ALL Spiritual Truth”.

The battles that are to be won in undeniable victory in 2023 will be won Spiritually (Zech 4:6). Those who will rise above and live the life that is referred to as the overcoming, more than a conquer lifestyle are those whose life is being led by Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit alone. It will be a life centered on rendering all the Glory to the Father, Son, and Spirit. For we know that as was the case with Jesus, so it is the case with Holy Spirit, that He does nothing apart from the Father or the Son.

Multitudes of the Lord’s aspiring warriors are being led into spiritual death camps!!!

Many of the Franchised models of Congregations popping up in cities around the nation are actually break-off factions from the traditional Churches. And they are geared towards attracting the younger generations, enticing them with modern-styled entertainment much like the Casinos in Vegas have used for years.

Though they can quickly build a huge following, they need to stay relevant, which then pressures them to that of outdoing last week’s performance. Many hire out the pulpit to celebrity preachers with whom the lead pastor has brushed coattails at one of the many “Super Christian” spectator events. Light on repentance and sin, big on hype and canal-minded flesh-pleasing messages.

However, these country club-style congregations, though powered with the newest and best technology, are lacking in the power of Holy Spirit. They advertise with the appearance of being godly, yet it is a mirror and smoke show. Or as one of the Lord’s anointed Evangelists in this generation Mario Murillo, likes to say: they are built around “Big screens, Skinny jeans, and Fog machines”

In reality, what we are witnessing is a major powerful spiritual strategic military move perpetrated from the war room of Hell.

For if Satan and the powers of darkness were ever to stop the people of God from being led by the Spirit of God, they would successfully thwart the power of God because the power of God is released through obedience.

And as the Word declares, the enemy is never threatened by those “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” (2 Tim. 3:5).

The only hope for these young Spiritual warriors is a powerful Holy Spirit-led Revival Fired Revolutionary Reformation. As such would awaken the true Bride of Christ. History bears witness that when the Father’s children begin to illuminate the glory of the Lord, people are drawn to the Light.

Yes indeed, we need a fresh baptism of fire to fall upon God’s Remnant in this hour that they march forth in the POWER of His Word. And with such power they are able to introduce these spiritual prisoners to the real Son of God, He whom the scriptures declare;

who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and did translate us into the reign of the Son of His love” (Colossians 1:13, YLT)

So let us all pray without ceasing until we see the atmosphere supercharged with the Holy Fire of our Lord. May our Spirit-filled congregations receive a Fresh Fire anointing, wakening them out of slumber. May Heaven release the Remnant of this generation to begin to pull down the mental strongholds that the enemy has erected in the culture of this nation.

It is time friends, time to enter our prayer closest and pray for a Reformation of God’s people like the world has never seen. God desires to see America saved, and even as He used the Allies in world war to rescue the victims of the consecration camps, so shall He empower His Remnant and Ekklesia to rescue the generation that has been taken captive by a spiritual machine that is lulling many into spiritual death camps.

Why now you may be asking. Why tip the boat, at least they are not doing drugs or filling the bars. Let us not be so naive, for these country clubs cause far more damage than any bar could ever do. For at least a bar is open and honest – Come taste our liquor, you can get drunk here, after all that is what bars are for. No, these country clubs are far more insidious as they claim to be Christ-centered when in reality they are more ego-centered – the ego of the founders to worship them and their revelations all to make them famous and rich.

To answer your question as to why now – let me introduce you to a bit of Latin, the answer is DEUS VULT. This a Latin term that the mighty warriors of God whom He used to set Jerusalem free in 1099, it means “God wills it” and scripture testifies that God will that none parish, and we, His children have been blessed to be called to co-labor with Him in rescuing the lost.

This can only happen by being endued with power from on high, for one the greatest fortresses one will ever face in Spiritual warfare is that which imprisons an individual into believing they are not lost. The spiritual bondage of these spiritual country clubs is found in their mesmerizing ability to drug these people into believing they are supporting and part of the next great move of God. The enemy is proficient in his ability to impersonate the Lord;

 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be  transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2 Corinthians 11:14-15, KJV)

We must realize that we cannot afford to lose another generation if we want to see our nation saved and repositioned to be the lit city on the Hill to the nations. If ever there was a verse speaking to a generation it is Isaiah 60:1-3;

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. (Isaiah 60:1-3, KJV)

Lord God, we thank you for Your call upon us in this hour, Holy Spirit sent a fresh fire anointing upon the Bride of Christ in this generation, awaken Her that she may step forth, empowered with Your Holy presence, armed with every Spiritual weapon to not merely engage her enemy, but to see him vanquished from every house that is called by the Name of the Lord. Embolden Your Remnant Father, and may Holy Spirit lead the charge, along with Your Angel armies, fighting right beside them. And yes Father, we stand in agreement with You that the lost shall be rescued and America shall be saved.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them. Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (Psalm 34:7-8, BSB)

‘Respect for Marriage’ Act is but another move by corrupt politicians to shake their evil fists in the face of a Holy God. This is is but another attack against people of faith. It is a pathetic power move to try and force every Christian and ministry to respect all marriages even if they go against the Word of God.

They are attempting to silence the voice of the Righteous, with threats of fines, removal of tax exemption status, and possibly the closing of said Churches and ministries.

I know for me, the ministry in which my wife and I co-shepherd “Remnant Warrior Ministries” and the Church I pastor “Highway To Heaven Church” have this statement to make, and it is from the Word of the Lord:

Joshua 24:15 TPT

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

We will not be bullied into silence, we will use every Spiritual weapon at our disposal to see that this law, if it is enacted, is removed from the Books and every evil hand that signed it into law is either brought to repentance or that they are removed from office according to which means the Lord will.

The Angel Armies are standing by, waiting to hear the Father’s voice being released from His sons & daughters.

The Lord has made the heavens His throne; from there He rules over everything there is. Bless the Lord, you mighty angels of his who carry out his orders, listening for each of his commands. Yes, bless the Lord, you armies of his angels who serve him constantly. (Psalm 103:19-21, TLG)

-Serving God is an everyday, moment-by-moment decision. Paul said, “I die daily.” Church, we have to make the decision, every day, to get up, and say, “I’m gonna live for Him.” Your destiny is in front of you, not behind you. Run your race and serve God with your whole heart.

We will not remain silent, we will speak the Words of the Lord in truth and power from the very rooftops if need be, but we will no longer remain silent in the face of such evil intentions.

They conquered him completely through the blood of the Lamb and the powerful word of his testimony. They triumphed because they did not love and cling to their own lives, even when faced with death. (Revelations 12:11, TPT)

A few months back I was taken in a vision back to a young age of not yet a teenager. In this vision, Holy Spirit showed me the most horrific figure I have ever witnessed, it even smelled of rotten flesh. I stepped back unable to identify what I was seeing, however, I did recognize two individuals. One was my best friend at that time. The older man I remembered as he was the uncle of the grocery store owner in the small northern Maine town I lived in at that time.

The sight of this creature and its smell began to make me quiver and felt as though I was going to vomit. I asked Holy Spirit why He brought me there. He explained that this was a place in y life’s timeline where the spirit of lust had entered in. This spirit had kept me captive in a prison for almost my whole life, yet I didn’t know when that door had opened. I had prayed for years for the revelation, yet I had to this point not seen it.

Holy Spirit said gather your strength for a moment as I want to share something with you. The scene, like a movie, began to play This scene was one that I had either forgotten or buried under a wall of guilt and shame. I slowly began to gather myself and began to remember, my friend and I were about 11 years old at the time. We were riding our bikes near the town dump and this man asked if we could help him move something.

After we were done, he asked us if we wanted some soda, to which we both said yes. As we were drinking the soda, he started asking us what we thought about girls. At that time we didn’t have much good to say, basically that they were pests in our eyes. He then showed us a magazine and in it were pictures of naked girls. At that point, embarrassed, we quickly finished our soda and said we had to go.

At this point in the vision, as we were leaving the room I saw something I could remember seeing, it was a dark figure with evil, almost snake-like eyes and it started to follow us out. It stopped just short of leaving the man’s home.

A couple of weeks later, we rode to the dump again in search of treasures that we were sure people had unknowingly thrown away. Once again as we were leaving to go home, this man invited us in. And again he showed us the magazines. This time we stayed a bit longer and as we were leaving that dark figure followed us out. This went on for several weeks, each time upon leaving the figure would follow us a little further.

One day towards the end of summer on our weekly visit, he began to show us videos. We stayed there for several hours almost in a trance, and this time as we left, there were two figures, however, they didn’t stop following us on our way out. Then Holy Spirit said, now I want to show you something that may shock you. I hesitantly said ok. At that moment, as we got on our bikes, it seemed like these two figures disappeared. Then I found myself looking in the bike mirror on my handlebars and saw my face. Horrified is almost too gentle of a word yet it is all I can come up with at this time. I was horrified as I looked in the mirror, for my eyes had taken on the form of the dark creature. As I looked at my friend, in shock I saw the same thing had happened to his eyes.

Holy Spirit then said “It was at this time when you unknowingly welcomed this demon of lust into your life. Yes, you were walking in youthful innocence, yet the enemy took full advantage of that innocence. Then I looked back and saw that horrific foul-smelling creature and said is that him?

Holy Spirit said “Yes, that is him.

I then asked Holy Spirit why have you waited so long to show me this? He said I didn’t show you before now as up to this point the enemy would have deceived using legalistic religion to trap you into believing that it was your fault. It wasn’t, it was the older gentleman and hell’s fault. However, now you are not only strong enough to handle this truth, but you have also stepped into and embraced your identity as that of a New Creation, as a son of the Father, Along with that you are now knowledgable of the Spiritual weapons that you have inherited as well as trained in their use.

At that moment, as though a command or permission had been given, in what was almost like an out-of-body experience I watched my Spirit man move at the speed of light as though he was on fire, welding a flaming sword, he not only took the head off that demon, he then proceeded to cut him to pieces. That image of my Spirit man closely resembles the image I found and have used since then in my profile photo and the logo of Remnant Warrior Ministries. It was after this vision that Holy Spirit said the Father is given you a new name, WindWalker.

From June up until now, I have dealt with several other demons that have tormented me over the years, and with the help and guidance of Holy Spirit they have been defeated.

I share this testimony in light of Revelations 12:11, for it is indeed only by the Blood and the testimony of the Lord’s work in me that has allowed me to stand in Victory. I pray that this will bring liberty to others as well. People do not realize the demonic trap that porn leads its victims into. It robs people of freedom in so many ways,. It can destroy marriages and whole families. It is literally a spiritual door that opens one up to a multitude of demonic entities, for lust is not just satisfied with sex, it wants to rule every place in one’s life from money, and relationships all the way to one’s possessions. It wants to imprison people in any and every way possible.

                                        So if the Son sets you free from sin, then become a true son and be unquestionably free!                                    
 (John 8:36, TPT)

I thank the Father, that I can truly give praise, glory, and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ for completely setting me free!!!

As Holy Ghost is calling the Remnant to return to the roots of authentic Christianity. We need to enter the discussion of what our lives are to look like as true disciples of Jesus.

We need to be authentic as to our confession of faith so that the world will know and witness when a member of the Remnant has declared that they are surrendered and totally committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, they can expect to see a manifested radical change in the character and the way upon which they live daily. This means in public and private.

In short, the fruit of our confession and conversion must be apparent. We cannot as the Master stated, produce both good & bad fruit (John 7:18).

In this hour we must embrace the fact that Holy Spirit is ever so gently, with surgical precision going deeper into our hearts in order to remove any and all roots associated with compromise, fear, and faithlessness from our souls.

We must not only welcome this we must ask Him to go as deep as necessary, for I know I personally do not want anything in or of me that is not of or pleasing to the Father (Psalm 139:23-24).

It is in this submission of obedience that you and I will find ourselves in the Boot camp of becoming a Remnant Warrior. In fact, I see a witness in scripture that this is a mandatory requirement for every member of the Remnant. (Sampson, Samuel, David, Gideon, Paul, and the other disciples just to name a few).

God is doing something in this hour. Yet, the carnal-minded believer cannot see it which is why they are mostly driven by fear.

Whereas those who have been born from above and have been endued with power from on High, haven their Spiritual eyes open can efficiently discern the times.

It is not that one single individual has the whole picture, no that is reserved for the Lord Himself who can see the whole picture seeing the past, present, and future with clarity.  I believe that this is why we are witnessing Holy Ghost’s connecting His Remnant and re-establishing the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets in the local Ekklesia, bringing the foundation of His Bride back into place.

With this re-establishing, we are witnessing the Remnant being united and maturing under Holy Ghost-anointed Apostolic teachings. In this, we see the family aspect of the Ekklesia being strengthened and within the legislative aspect of the Ekklesia, we see the Remnant warriors gathering and moving like the wind, carrying their assignments from King Jesus.

I believe this ties in with the message that Apostle Damon Thompson released several years ago pertaining to the “re-wilding” of the bride and leading us to have a long-path (generational) vision.

For the past several decades the compromised religious leadership in this nation disregarded the warning from the Lord which was given through His faithful prophets and chose to listen to the flesh-appealing false prophets as they desire popularity and church growth over obedience and holiness. They have become too comfortable walking arm in arm with the celebrities of the world through which the enemy has planted a seed of greed in them that’s driven them to become celebrities themselves.

 For some, it has driven them from their first love. Not that all such leaders ever had a love for Jesus, as we must be honest in pointing out that some stepped into ministry not to serve but to be positioned to be served, having witnessed the glimmer of wealth and celebrity stardom played out via T.V. religious shows and the expanding power of social media.

I believe we are witnessing the same turn of events that happened in the early Church when they ignored the Lord’s commission to go to the ends of the known world with His message as they became “comfortable” in their familiar surroundings, namely Jerusalem.

Isaiah 60:1-2 is the awakening sound to rally the Lord’s Remnant in this generation:

 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 peoples: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (Isaiah 60:1-2, JUB)

In reading Matthew 13:24-30, the Watchman sees a similarity to what is going on today. Suppose that the Lord has used the rise of anti-god legislation, the passing of laws that have been eroding the religious rights of mainly Christians and our Jewish brothers along with the increase of evil such as drugs, pornography, violence, dismantling or the meaning of marriage, and perversion of our sexuality like we have never seen before, to grow our roots strong. Doing such that we become mature (Wheat) through adversity?

The sleeping Church while busy getting drunk on popularity has allowed un-godly individuals to take powerful seats in our governments from the local all the way to Washington. They have allowed un-godly individuals to weld the seat of power via education from head start all the way into our highest and best Universities. As such, they have held the position to impregnate our children with doctrines of demons, ugly perverse versions of the world’s view.

Is America doomed?

Not at all. Those the Church at large has been sleeping, the Lord has held the winning hand all along. If you look through history you will see how the Father has used His Remnant time and time again to get humanity back on track. This nation has witnessed 2 great awakenings and we are on the precipice of seeing the 3rd great awakening explode on the world scene. I believe if we would look back to 2014, we would see that the Awakening began, yet it is now ramping up.

In ancient times, Watchmen would be stationed to stand guard over the Harvest fields, to watch for anything that would come in to attempt to destroy the Harvest as well as to sound the alarm notifying the laborers as to when the Harvest was ready.

Never have we witnessed the Lord release His Angelic armies in such mass numbers, to stand beside and assist His children. Indeed, it is for a time such as this. If you haven’t read Apostle Tim Sheets series on Angle Armies, I highly encourage you to do so.

For those who haven’t been Baptized in Holy Ghost, these times are depressing and will grow to be terrorizing, yet for the true Ekklesia and His Remnant, these are the days in which we rejoice, being renewed with His joy and empowered with His Spirit to pull back the curtains and witness His Heaven invade earth.

Having been seated under their teachings, and studied their books all led too by Holy Spirit, I have been blessed to get a clear scriptural picture through several of God-ordained leaders that we are about to witness a “Fresh Fire” anointing that the world has witnessed since those in the upper room witness the power of Holy Ghost as they were renewed via being rebirthed in the Fire of His Glory. But most importantly, Holy Ghost Himself has illuminated the Word, granting me the opportunity to sit with Him and dive into the multiple layers of revelation hidden from the carnal mind.

All the Glory belongs to our King Jesus!!!

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 1 PETER 1:14

The Scriptures do not teach that the person of Jesus Christ nor any of the important offices that God has given Him can be divided or ignored according to the whims of men. Therefore, I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles—the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Savior and we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to! A.W. Tozer.

This wisdom from Tozer totally dismantles the false doctrine of “ Still under construction”.

I was Director of mission not long ago where the doctrine of “Still under construction” was widely taught. Number one this doctrine denies the truth of 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are made new.”

Number 2, it is toxic and a sin-laced spiritual leaven causing individuals to believe they can hold onto their sin-filled vices for as long as they want under the rule of grace.

For instance, there was a self-identified non-practicing gay male who considered himself to be a gay Christian who can hold onto that identity as long as he desires for he has the “grace card”. When I challenged him on this, I was thrown under the bus by other members of leadership as being legalistic (Common use with religious-minded individuals).

It is the same issue I have with 12-step programs being tossed around as Bible-based. To confess I am a recovering addict or drunk denies the truth in John 8:32 “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”. Our words have power and when we confess to being a drunk, addict, or whatever false identity we give it authority, empowering it to raise hell in our lives. 

So does that means can I confess to being a recovering sinner? I can if I don’t want to be obedient to the command (not a suggestion) of Jesus to sin no more. If I am saved I am freed from the dominion of sin and empowered through true biblical grace to live a life as such.

For years I lived reading the Word as word on paper. It wasn’t until I came under the teaching of Apostle Damon Thompson that I realized the Word is Jesus (John 1:1). It isn’t a set of rules or guidelines to live by, it is the very food needed to grow into His image. You can pick and choose the ingredients, to have to consume it ALL.

There is a Holy Fire of Conviction that has begun to fall upon the Bride. There is;t time to play games, you must either choose to follow Jesus without hesitation, understanding He is not willing to negotiate the terms of discipleship, it is clearly written in His Word.

In this Kingdom age, the carnally minded will be fooled and led astray, possibly missing the opportunity to spend eternity with the Lord. It is not a time for fun and games, this is WAR. Only those who hold onto His Word with a death grip of obedience will be able to stand against this next wave of evil.

I know what I have written above may upset and or offend some but it is stated with a heart to see you become free in Christ and live the life radically pursuing the Lover of our souls. 

This is not a doomsday message, this is a warning to not eat from the wrong tree This very moment in time must be viewed as a Joshua 24:15 moment:

 “And if it seems evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”.

If you are lacking the faith, ask the Father and watch as He increases it. If you are not sure whether you are baptized in the Spirit, ask Holy Spirit and get ready for His Holy Fire.

To those who bear witness to this message, I am asking you to join me in a 7-day fast (either water only or a Daniel fast) for this coming election, for the soul of this nation. During these 7 days, we are to seek the Father for His strategies in prayer. Take this opportunity to cleanse your body and refresh your Spirit.

Blessings, 

R.G. Welch

It is true that many receive and many more claim to receive revelationary visions from the Father. Yet when a revelation isn’t activated and put into action it becomes a dead vision and many are they who sit in an idle state of complacency as their visions die.

I am often left speechless when I hear someone’s vision or even that which the Father has given me, only to receive jealous responses such as “But your not the only one that God has given that vision to, I have had that vision for years before you got one” As well as other remarks coated in sarcasm.


I always praise the Lord that He has so blessed another brother or sister when I hear of a call on their lives or hear a vision pertaining to an assignment they received from the Father.

But what about the naysayers? What about those who operate with a critical spirit?

My question to them is:

Ok, what are you doing about it?

Or could you possibly have had the call removed due to your lack of action, faith, and trust in the Father’s ability to see the fulfillment of that vision come to pass?

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, TO GO into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (Gen 11:31)

It’s interesting to note that Abraham’s father Terah was actually going to the promised land (Canaan). But due to his mourning his son’s loss, he settled for the loss rather than the promised land. (Many scholars believe Terah named the land Haran as a memorial to his son)

We can this throughout history and even in our day. Many who have received a vision and or call from the Lord somewhere along the way, settled for something less, generally due to some distraction that the enemy brought into their lives. And they end up living the rest of their days in the hopeless state of remembering “What could have been”.

Holy Spirit was sharing this with me last night when He whispered;

“The Remnant Pioneers of the Kingdom will never settle for anything short of what has been promised” #SELAH

Then He went on to caution me and for me to caution others in the Remnant that many will rise up against the calling of the Lord in our lives to try and discourage us or belittle us. However, we must stand strong, stand united, and not at any point get caught up in listening to the lies and twisted logic of the wayward ones as they attempt to hijack our destinies. They are merely trying to pull others into their pitty party of misery, for in truth they are but reaping the harvest from the seeds of compromise and complacency that they’ve sown into their own lives.

Stand strong, let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus “The pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2, NIV).

I was hanging out with Holy Spirit yesterday afternoon reflecting on the past 20 years of being in Jacksonville arriving here on January 1, 2002. He began reminding me of all that has happened since then and how it was designed by the Father for my preparation for the NOW:

In 2002 after arriving at my sister Roxanne’s house, for what I had thought would be a short visit to obtain my class A driver’s license before heading back home to Maine. Within a month I found myself, rededicating my life to the Lord. A few months later I started ministry school. Shortly afterward, I met and started dating a beautiful godly woman from the Philippines. At that time she was attending Brownsville School of Revival, which led me to the opportunity to attend the Revival on a number of occasions before it ended.

In June of 2003 I married that same beautiful godly Filipino girl, and that fall I started my 2nd year of ministry school.

In June of 2004, we were blessed with the gift of a beautiful son, which the Lord showed me in a vision would be a godly man walking in His ways. In 2004 I also got ordained and my wife and I started Mighty Arm Ministries.

In 2005 I came under the mentorship of Dr, Don Lynch being groomed as part of the leadership of a powerful Apostolic international ministry with a vision of bringing revival to the nations.

In 2006 our ministry Mighty Arm Ministries launched an online ministry school, “Rushing Mighty Wind School of Ministry”.

In 2007 my wife and I were ordained by Dr. Don & Ruthanne Lynch as part of the first ordained leaders in that same ministry, Ministry Matrix. During our time under Dr. Don’s leadership, we witnessed powerful meetings filled with the presence of the Lord and we learned how to go after the things of God to see His will happen.

In 2008 Rushing Mighty Wind School of Ministry established two brick & mortar schools, one in India and one in the Philippines.

In the summer of 2009, I was invited to visit World Revival Church in Kansas City. A couple of months later in early fall, I flew out and while I was there, I was blessed to be able to visit IHOP. As well I had the opportunity to attend two nights of revival, giving my testimony at the Friday night service. I also was afforded the opportunity to attend a couple of the revival school classes.

In 2010, I was invited to be a volunteer advocate for the Florida Department of Elder Affairs

In 2011, my wife and I felt the Lord moving us in ministry in regard to ministry and after much prayer we stepped out of the leadership with Ministry Matrix, entering a time of waiting on the Lord for our next assignment. It came later that year as we found ourselves being part of a leadership team that launched Presence Church here in Jacksonville. We experienced God moving in special ways over the next couple of years.

In 2013, I accepted the position of associate pastor at Highway to Heaven Church.

Then in 2014, I received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree for my ministry work in India, the Philippines, jails, and nursing homes.

In 2015, after a number of years of studying in several different ministry schools, I received a doctorate in Theology. At the end of that year, in December I was part of the leadership that launched an Apostolic ministry in Jacksonville called “The River House” along with Doug and Jennifer Snead.

A lot happened over these first 13 years however inside I felt drained, discouraged, and had little true peace. Something was missing, I had felt the Lord’s presence on many occasions, but it had to be more than occasional. I wanted what the Disciples had, an ever-present witness to the presence of the Lord. I would soon find that the spirit of religion had somehow been able to chain me deep down in a dark spiritual prison.

In 2016, while at a ministry retreat in Saluda North Carolina, I had a powerful in-person encounter with the Lord that radically impacted and changed my life. That encounter with the Flames of His love totally undid the religious theology I had been a prisoner too, unknowingly for so many years. And on the very next day on my drive home, Holy Spirit led me to listen to a video on youtube “Damon Thompson at the Carolina Revival May 2, 2015“. It was that video that the Father used to seat me under the Apostolic teachings of Damon Thompson.


In 2018, as part of the Riverhouse leadership, we launched the North Florida healing rooms.

In our 4 years with the RiverHouse, we saw many miracles as the Father poured out His love on His children, deaf ears opened, eyesight restored, and many other healings and miracles. Almost every meeting was filled with a tangible presence of the Lord

On Valentine’s weekend of 2020, having taken a two-month sabbatical from all ministry, and after my wife’s continued encouragement to go, we went to Panama Beach to listen to Damon Thompson at the “Rock of Bay County Church”. From the moment Ana hit the first string on her violin, waves of the Father’s glory flooded the room.

At the end of the meeting, Damon called for an alter call to all who wanted to be refreshed. I was one of the first to charge upfront. After standing there for a few moments with my head bowed, I felt this huge hand slam into my chest followed by the words “The Father wants to refresh His fire in you” and wham, the fire of God began to flow throw every cell of my body. A few days later I watched the video, and even though I thought I recognized his voice, saw that it was pastor Bryn Waddell who had prayed for me.

Two weeks later I started volunteering full-time at a local mission in Jacksonville beach after a week or so in prayer following an invitation of a sister in the Lord, Dawn Hare to check the place out.

On August 6th of 2020, my son and I visited Cane Ridge on the 219th anniversary of the outpouring of the Lord there which is believed to have been one of the sparks that made way for the 2nd Great Awakening. Upon leaving Cane Ridge after several hours of praying there, Holy Spirit said the Father had commissioned me to disciple disciples in the same way His Son did. Then about 3 weeks after returning home I was invited to become the director at Beaches Rescue and Recovery Mission.

And finally in 2022 after resigning as the director at the mission, I accepted the position of Senior Pastor at Highway To Heaven Church.

Feeling completely blessed right now. Especially seeing the streams of revival that the Father has seated me in since 2002. I am filled to overflowing with a deep & increasing hunger to see His Kingdom being established in this city and America in the now. I feel almost on edge of something great with Spiritual anticipation for the Revival Fires of Reformation which have been purposed with an eternal destiny for such a time as this are about to break out.

Over the past 20 years, Holy Spirit has been whispering to me about the Remnant, ever since the first time, I heard Dr. Don Lynch teachings about the subject. Over the past several months He has been getting louder and He has been showing me that the Remnant shall be those who carry the flaming torches of Revival Flames of Reformation, through the night while the complacent compromised Church sleep. And blessed will those be those hear the flames and are able to wake up, repent and become prepared.

For those who slumber shall see their candles removed, for the profane vanity of their religion will cause them to miss out on the greatest revival this world has ever seen….”Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent”. (Rev 2:5)

He has also been speaking to me about the establishing of the discipleship community to where I can through the leadership of Holy Spirit, disciple men using the same methods that Jesus used to disciple His disciples. This community will be set on a piece of land with the ability to grow gardens. Holy Spirit has shown me how this will provide powerful visuals when teaching the parables. Not only that, these gardens are purposed as well to the feeding many.

The property will also have buildings that can house 12 – 20 men. With the whole property be established in prayer to having a sound atmosphere supercharged with His presence equipping each discipler in the methods of Jesus in order to train each man into becoming a Mountain Moving Disciple. This mandate from the Lord is so real to me that there are times I can feel the ground of this property under my feet, hear the animals singing their daily praise to Heaven, and literally smell the air of the land bursting with the fragrance of fresh fruit & vegetables

And all I can say is:

“Here I am Father, sitting still in Your presence with a heart-filled commitment in total surrender with a willingness to do all that you ask of me, I haven’t come this far to stop, for my heart belongs to you alone and no matter what the devil throws at me I shall not change paths nor turn back. To You be the Glory, Honor & Praise, Amen”

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:13-20, NKJV)

I believe that one of the major short-comings of modern-day evangelism is that people are being enticed to follow Jesus based on what He can do for them rather than being introduced to Jesus Himself – Jesus alone is enough (why so many quickly fall away, not being truly converted) #SELAH

Jesus brought the following charge against the Church in Ephesus in Revelations chapter 2:4 “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love”.

And I feel as though much of the modern day Church, especially in America has done the same. For if those who are truly saved, have been saved in a large part due to the fact that they fell head over heels in love with Jesus. I know I did in 2016, before that, I was in love with the Americanized version of the “whose got talent” Jesus that came with the coveted get out of hell free card. The truth is, I spun out of control over and over again for a number of years.

However, after my encounter with the true Jesus on March 29, 2016 during a ministry retreat in Saluda North Carolina, my eyes began to be opened, and my heart beacme swelled to overflowing capacities with a deep rich, love for the Son of God. It was only then, having my spiritual eyes opend that Holy Spirit began to show me about my false conversion. How it was not really love, that I was not truly following Jesus as my Lord,  especially when I would become so filled with anger when He wouldn’t do “what I demanded of Him”.

Today I can but shout YAY GOD, for Jesus alone is enough for me . Even if the world began crumbling all around me (and there has been times over the past 6 years that it has felt as though it was), simply knowing that He is my Savior, and the reality of knowing that He truly loves me is more than enough.

In his book “The practice of the Presence of God”, Brother Lawrence wrote how he once said to the Lord, “Even if you don’t save me, I will still love you”. That my friends is true love!!!

For to truly fall in love with someone is when you love them simply for “who they are”, not because of what they have or what they can do for you. Let’s be real for a moment, if you love someone based on what you get out of the deal, it is in reality a self centered love and in all honesty, is not real. Such love will quickly burn out once one finds that the other person can no longer meet your needs (greeds).

Brothers and sisters, we must return to the foundations of our faith and fully trust in the POWER of the Cross and the Gospel message of Jesus combined with the anointing of Holy Spirit to reach the lost. The Gospel message needs no help for it fully contains everything necessary to attract, cleanse and fully transform any individual who puts all their trust in Christ as their Savior.

It’s time to stop promoting and trying to sell the mythological Jesus created by Western theology and modern day celebrity preachers, and return to presenting the Christ of the Bible, the One true Son of God. For then and only then shall we begin to enter into the Great Harvest and start seeing the Lost coming into the Light of the Kingdom of Heaven. 

We need to receive and live out of the Revelation that Paul received when he wrote “For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

I believe with all my heart, having a deep holy conviction that when we, the Remnant, grasp hold of the revelation of the power of the Gospel in truth, it will only be then that we shall begin witnessing what Paul and the other disciples who preached the true Gospel in the power of Holy Spirit witnessed “For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;” ( 1 Thessalonians 1:9).

Father, I pray that You will pour out Your Spirit upon Your Remnant today, removing any and all religiosity off from them and Baptism them afresh in the FIRE of Pentecost. Awaken them and send them out to begin harvesting the Great fields of lost souls, and also empower them as to the return this nation, America, back to You that we may as a nation fulfill Your purpose in this hour, and doing ALL to the Glory, Honor and Praise of the Godhead, In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen
