No matter how big the giant might be, our God is Bigger

Growing up, I learned how to walk around giants—spiritual, cultural, and generational—because fear taught me to avoid what I did not yet have the authority to confront. But in 2016, when the Lord invaded my life with a radical, undeniable encounter, everything changed. I became like David on the battlefield, a shepherd boy who refused to measure the giant by its size but measured it by the greatness of the God who stood with him. I no longer saw threats; I saw testimonies waiting to happen. I no longer saw impossibilities; I saw victories already secured in the courts of Heaven.


Like David, I have witnessed the Lord break chains I thought would follow me forever. I have watched Him shatter the assignments of darkness that believed they had legal claim over my life. I have seen Him silence the accuser, overthrow strongholds, and dismantle every lie that once tried to define me. It is from this revelation of Yahweh—the Deliverer, the Warrior, the Covenant‑Keeper—that I minister, write, and teach. I do not speak from theory; I speak from encounter. I do not preach from intellect; I preach from the fire of a life rescued by God’s own hand.


There are giants in the Church today—giants of deception, tradition, compromise, and counterfeit spirituality—that many refuse to confront. But my life is bound to obedience, not comfort. When the Lord says, “Take that giant down,” I move with the confidence of one who knows the battle is already won. No giant—whether religious ritual, cultural darkness, or demonic ideology—can stand against the truth of the Kingdom.

I do not fight for victory; I fight from victory. And every giant that rises against the purposes of God will fall, because the same God who delivered me is the same God who still brings down giants.


I have learned that giants don’t fall because we shout at them—they fall because we stand in covenant identity and wield the authority of the One who sent us. The Church does not need more polished speeches or safer sermons; it needs voices forged in the secret place, men and women who have wrestled lions and bears when no one was watching. It needs shepherds who refuse to bow to the fear of man and warriors who refuse to negotiate with darkness. This generation is not starving for information; it is starving for demonstration. And demonstration only flows from those who have seen Yahweh move in power and refuse to settle for anything less.


We are living in a time when the giants of culture mock the armies of the living God, daring the Church to remain silent. But the Remnant is rising—those who have oil in their lamps, fire in their bones, and truth in their mouths. This Remnant is not intimidated by the size of the opposition because they know the size of their God. They are not impressed by the roar of the enemy because they have heard the voice of the Shepherd. They are not paralyzed by the darkness because they carry the light that darkness cannot comprehend.


So I call the Remnant of this generation to stand up, step forward, and take your place on the battlefield. Do not walk around the giants of your day—run toward them with the confidence of Heaven. Lift your voice. Draw your sword. Plant your feet. The same God who delivered David is the same God who backs you. This is your hour. This is your assignment. This is your battlefield. Remnant of God—RISE and take down every giant standing in the way of Kingdom destiny.

Jesus spoke of an Eccleisa that would stop Hell’s Advance

Many in the Western Church have grown comfortable with messages that soothe rather than sharpen, preferring words that calm the waters instead of stirring them toward truth. They avoid speaking into cultural or governmental matters because the fear of man whispers louder to them than the fear of the Lord, even though Scripture declares, “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe” (Proverbs 29:25). They cling to a version of truth that offends no one, forgetting that Jesus Himself said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:32).

When we read the red letters, we see a Savior who never softened truth to gain approval, for “grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). He spoke words that pierced darkness, exposed deception, and called His disciples into destiny, just as He did when He said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). Jesus never feared the opinions of the crowd, for He declared, “I do not receive glory from people” (John 5:41). He confronted hypocrisy with boldness, yet He carried compassion for the broken, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy that “a bruised reed He will not break” (Isaiah 42:3).

His authority was unmistakable, for even His enemies confessed, “No man ever spoke like this Man” (John 7:46). He wielded truth like a sword, not to destroy people but to destroy the lies that held them captive, for “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). This is the Jesus who overturned tables, confronted religious systems, and called His followers into a Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

Where is that Church today, the one that walks in the boldness of Acts 4:31, where the disciples “spoke the word of God with great boldness” after being filled with the Holy Spirit? Many cities are filled with gatherings that resemble social clubs more than spiritual embassies, while those same cities groan under the weight of racism, violence, and corruption. The land cries out for justice, echoing the words of Amos 5:24, “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Yet too many pulpits remain silent, choosing comfort over conviction and applause over alignment with Heaven. Jesus warned of such days when He said, “This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me” (Matthew 15:8).

The Church was never meant to blend into culture but to transform it, for we are called to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:13–14). Darkness increases not because it is strong, but because light has been hidden under a basket. The apostle Paul urged believers, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). Yet conformity has become easier than consecration for many who claim His name. The world does not need a Church that echoes its values; it needs a Church that embodies the Kingdom. It needs a people who refuse to bow to cultural pressure, just as the three Hebrew boys refused to bow to Nebuchadnezzar’s image (Daniel 3:18). It needs a witness that carries both truth and love, both conviction and compassion, both fire and humility.

But in this hour, Heaven is summoning a Holy Remnant, a governmental Ecclesia rising in the spirit of Matthew 16:18, where Jesus declared, “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” This Remnant is awakening to its identity as ambassadors of Christ, carrying the authority of 2 Corinthians 5:20 to represent Heaven on earth.

They are learning to legislate the will of the Father through prayer, obedience, and Spirit-led action, echoing Jesus’ words, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). They will not be silent, for the fire of Jeremiah 20:9 burns within them, a fire that cannot be contained. They will sound like a shofar in the night, announcing the breaking of a new day, just as Isaiah proclaimed, “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you” (Isaiah 60:1). They will tear through darkness with the authority of Luke 10:19, where Jesus said He has given His people power over all the power of the enemy.

They will walk in purity, courage, and unwavering devotion, refusing to compromise with the spirit of the age. They will carry the glory Jesus prayed for in John 17:22, a glory that reveals the Father to the world. They will stand as living testimonies that Christ is King, for “the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17). And as they rise, every act, every word, and every victory will resound to the glory, honor, and praise of the King of kings and Lord of lords, Christ Jesus our Savior.

Rise up, Remnant Ecclesia; gird yourselves with truth and stand firm in the day of testing, for Scripture calls us to “take up the whole armor of God” and to stand therefore (Ephesians 6:13–14). Do not shrink back from the clash of culture or the roar of the crowd, for the Lord has appointed you as watchmen on the walls who will not be silent (Isaiah 62:6–7). Let prayer be your strategy and righteousness your banner, remembering that if My people humble themselves and pray, I will hear from heaven and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14). Move with unity and courage, speaking life where there is despair and binding what would divide, for the early Church “with one accord” prayed and the place was shaken (Acts 4:24–31).

Hold the line with prophetic clarity and tender mercy; let your words be seasoned with grace and your actions marked by justice, for the Lord delights in those who both love mercy and walk humbly with Him (Micah 6:8). Refuse the compromise that dims your witness and refuse the fear that silences your mouth, for the fear of man is a snare but perfect love casts out fear (Proverbs 29:25; 1 John 4:18). Rise as a governmental people who legislate Heaven by intercession, who steward cities with prayerful authority, and who release blessing with tongues trained by the Spirit (2 Corinthians 5:20). Stand now, watchmen and priests, for the hour demands courage, and Heaven’s purposes will not be thwarted.

By the authority of Jesus Christ, we decree: let light break the night, let truth rend the darkness, and let the remnant arise to establish justice, peace, and the glory of God across the land.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When I was seventeen, the Lord gave me a dream of a vast farm filled with people clothed as in the days of Jesus, with long hair and beards, ministering to others who were dressed in combat gear. At the time, I did not understand the meaning, nor did I grasp the prophetic nature of what was being shown.

Yet the Word reminds us, “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams” (Acts 2:17). This dream was a seed planted by the Spirit, waiting for its appointed time to unfold. I would dream this dream again and again over the course of the next 37 years.

Years later, in 2018, I dreamed again, and upon waking, the Holy Spirit began to speak. He revealed that the farm represented a community devoted to bringing in homeless veterans, offering healing, and discipling them into warriors for Christ. I asked why they remained in combat gear, and He said, “Because it was in that season the enemy took them captive.”

Yet I saw disciples tending to them, and the Spirit declared, “These too were once wounded, but now they are healed and restored, and they are dedicated to discipling their fellow veterans.” Truly, this is the fulfillment of Isaiah 61:1, “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”

In 2019, the dream returned, and this time I was entering the property. At the gate was a sign that read, “New Creation Ranch – A Veteran Restoration Community.” The name itself echoed the promise of 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This was no ordinary farm; it was a prophetic picture of restoration, a place where the broken would be made whole, and where warriors would rise again—not for earthly battles, but for the Kingdom of God.

More recently, the dream shifted to a graduating class. Each disciple who had been healed and trained was being commissioned to go forth and establish house churches. As I awoke, the Spirit reminded me of my long-held conviction for the home fellowship model. In July, a father in the faith prophesied that my wife and I would begin planting house churches, and since then I have heard the Spirit whisper, “Glory Houses – Ecclesia Government Houses.”

This aligns with the promise of Matthew 16:18-19, where Jesus declares, “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” The ranch and the house church movement are not separate—they are one prophetic assignment.

Last night I had the dream again, and when I awoke I could literally smell the farm. When I started praying about it, Holy Spirit spoke boldly: “This is the Father’s calling on your life. You and your wife have been commissioned for this assignment.”

As you have sought first His Kingdom and His righteousness, He has matured you through seasons of trials, refining fire and revelation. Now the fullness of the vision is coming forth—land titles are being transferred, checks are being written, and laborers are being called from across the nation: farmers, mechanics, and skilled tradesmen.

The promise of Matthew 6:33 resounds, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” The hour is approaching, and as we remain faithful, we shall see the dream manifest before our very eyes.

Let’s pray and decree that this dream will become a reality in 2026. Thousands of veterans are in dire need of assistance, many are taking their own lives, and the government of this world has no answers or solutions. In contrast, the Government of our King and His Kingdom does, and everyone who is called by His name, is granted the authority to legislate His Will.
