Vessels of Revival

Every son & daughter of the Lord God should be vessels of Revival, spreading the flames of His presence wherever they go. For does not the Word declare that those who have been born from above and have been risen from the grave with that same Spirit of Resurrection that rose our Lord?

And if that be true, what grander manifestation of revival than the dead being raised. Right?

So again it declares in the Word that without Christ, men are “dead” in their sins, however, once they come into the revelation of who the Messiah is and surrender to His Lordship, they then are awakened to experience life to its fullest.

The very reason Jesus commanded ALL His disciple to go into all the world, sharing who He is and ALL that He has taught. Then He added a ‘key” part – tarry until ye be endued with power from on High. He did not say to wait until going to ministry school. He did not say to wait until you have read the whole Bible. He did not say to wait until you act, sound, and look like every leader at the place you deem the right Church. No, Jesus said to wait until you have been endued – taking possession of – the Spiritual Power from on High.

What does that mean?

Wait until the Spirit of Resurrection, Holy Spirit – Lord Sabaoth, comes to take up residence and begins dwelling in your life. And with His taking up residence, we now transfer the title of head of household to Him and His governance!!!

As Holy Spirit continues to reveal the unadulterated Gospel wrapped in the truth of the Beloved and Righteousness, we shall begin to see the rise of what appears to be Radical Disciples of Christ. Yet the reality, they are the sons & daughters, who like Jesus have forsaken all to do the will of the Father.

In doing so, they come into the place of origin, relating to living out of the dominance of the Spirit man, placing the soulish, fleshly realm in its proper order, which is in submission to the governance of the Spirit. For the appointed time is NOW to reveal those whom the cosmos has been crying out for, the longing of those who walk in the authority of their Creator and possess the power granted to them from the courts of Heaven.

We are about to witness the explosion of the supernatural, as the sons & daughters rise up around the Globe, charging out of their wilderness training camps and moving under the direct Lordship of Holy Spirit, for they are the last day (Kingdom Age) Remnant of Yahweh.

Hell stands no chance!!! #Ekklesia.

Find your Tribe

Holy Spirit is seeking a Spiritual people in America, a people who honor and defend “imago dei” (sanctity of life) and adhere to the Father’s opinion regarding bloodlines – family, marriage, and gender. Those who chose to walk in the disobedience of the world’s view regarding these matters will find themselves at the mercy of the world they bow down to.

However, for those who have been transformed by the Love of the Father, those who have not only embraced but are actually living in the authority of the “Beloved Righteousness” as the sons and daughters of the Lord will see mountains move out of the way as the favor of Heaven covers them like a cloud by day and fire by night.

There is a people right here in this city of Jacksonville Florida that the Father wants to ignite. They have been wondering for years, seeking a place where they belong, where they fit in, where their gifts begin to move in the authority they know they contain. Israel was established via Tribes and each Tribe had an active role in the nation (Kingdom) and with that role came a unique authority for which they alone could operate in.

As well, there is a unique sound each Tribe carries. It not only is a Spiritual beacon to gather to. It is also a sound that sends terror through the enemy’s camp!!!

I know there are those in this region for whom we are to be connected, to establish a house of Remnant Warriors, and an Ekklesia Hub. I am praying out the very strategy Holy Spirit has given me. And I am fully confident in my belief that this is the hour that we not only unite, but it is the very hour in which we begin to burn in the brightness of His presence, illuminating His Glory that we have always been purposed to illuminate. #SELAH

The authority that comes with knowing whose you are

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. (Job 22:28)

Royal decrees carry the force of law and are backed or enforced by the power of the Kingdom they represent.

We as believers (Children of the King) make our decrees based on the highest power that exists and there is nothing that could even possibly overturn it. And it is when we are fully seated in the seat of the Beloved to where we find ourselves submitted to the revelation that indeed we are of and in Christ Jesus our Lord( 2 Cor 5:21, Col 1:16).

In the natural, when a king decrees a thing it is written in a document, and then that document is then sealed with a royal seal, which can only be broken by the king himself.

With this in mind, once we are seated as His beloved, we then become proficient in using our weaponry such as the Sword of the Spirit (scripture). This is so powerful, for when we make decrees as the Father’s beloved, the royal seal is the scripture we use or the word of the Lord we have been given.

The Angels know this and upon our decreeing the scriptures it is an echo of the Father’s voice being released through His children (Psalm 103:20). And upon hearing it, they go forth to enforce the decree.

“By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth” (Psalm 33:6, NKJV)

We must remember as His beloved, we have been reborn of Him from above ( John 3:3, 1 Peter 1:23) into His very image (genesis 1:27) and we carry the inherited authority of our Lord granted to Him by the Father (2 Peter 1:3). Thus we are the “Greater works” of Christ. And as such we not only walk in His likeness, we also carry His authority.

Let us now come out of the wilderness and advance the Kingdom like it has never been advanced before. For we are the Born from Above, Radical crucified Remnant Warriors of the Lord in this generation.

Time to come out from the Compromised Church

Get off of the defensive, and get on the offensive! It is time to go after the devil and go after sin. The devil has quickened his efforts to defeat the Church. He is bringing every kind of corruption into our homes, schools, and communities, even into our Churches. It is time we fought him back. It is time we determine where his strike will be and get there ahead of him, instead of playing catch-up all the time. ~Lester Sumrall Militant Church 1990

Since Lester wrote this book the attack of the enemy has increased into a much larger crisis stage. An all-out assault is what we are seeing in this nation, in his attempt to silence the only thing standing between him and world dominance, The Ekklesia of Jesus Christ.

God has been training and stationing His Remnant around this nation in out-post that most of the compromised Church thumbs their religious hardened noses at, as puppets of the devil steeped in religion, they try to discredit the Radical Wild Ones of the Lord.

Sound familiar? One only needs to study the scriptures to see how the religious elite rose up in opposition against Jesus, His disciples, and the message of His Kingdom.

Today, like in the day of Joshua as Israel was posed to take possession of the promised land, the Children of God are at a crossroads. We either enter the fight for the soul of this nation, or we let the enemy take full possession and deny the promise of the Father with regard to His Ekklesia in full possession of America being His lit city on a hill.

As for myself, my family, and our Church family, today we choose to stand and fight – we choose the war for the promises of God for our families and for this nation. We will not remain silent and we are taking the fight to the devil.

What say you, fellow Saints?

With regard to the compromised Church and those who can’t decide to break free from the illusion of comfort they offer, listen to what Holy Spirit is saying today:

Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18, KJV)

Spiritual Death Camps

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.

Time for Action in the face of evil

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.

It’s time to disarm, dismantle, and end this evil attack via the transgender evolution against our children

But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who [reverently] fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To those who honor and keep His covenant, And remember to do His commandments [imprinting His word on their hearts]. The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe]. Bless the Lord, you His angels, You mighty ones who do His commandments, Obeying the voice of His word! Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him and do His will. Bless the Lord, all you works of His, in all places of His dominion; Bless and affectionately praise the Lord, O my soul! (Psalm 103:17-22, AMP)

The Church was either sleeping or silent when abortion became the law in this nation. The enemy knows that the abortion law was overturned however he has devised a scheme for which the democrat party has joined in on it, and it is focused on stealing our children’s destiny via the transgender agenda targeting our youth.

Satan has brought into the fight, his demon principality “Babylon”.

Heaven is releasing the Issachar anointing upon the Remnant

Why?

Jamie Rohrbaugh describes it best when she wrote about the anointing, the following section relating to this anointing is from her blog

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

The sons of Issachar understood chronological time, but they also understood spiritual and political time.

  • The sons of Issachar could discern what God was doing and when He was doing it.
  • They knew when one move of God was ending and another one was beginning.
  • They could discern when a leader was falling and another leader was rising.
  • They could even tell you who the next leader should be. They knew who to follow and when to follow him or her. 

They were full of wisdom. In fact, God chose the sons of Issachar as one of the three tribes to go out in front of Israel whenever the nation moved. Judah (the praising people) went first; then Issachar (the wise and discerning ones) and Zebulun (the financiers). That’s quite a combination!*

The sons of Issachar were so sharp and so spiritually astute, that the whole nation depended on them to know what they ought to do and when they ought to do it.  

First Chronicles 12:32 tells us:

“of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command” (1 Chronicles 12:32).

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

We must be able to not only discern the times but the demonic spirits at play. And Holy Spirit has pulled back the evil blanket of deception which has blinded many to reveal that this whole attempt to redefine one’s sexuality is operating under the spirit of Babylon. Ironically Heaven has dealt with this spirit in the past when God the Father placed this demonic spirit under a curse of chaos and confusion.

You can read this in scripture where the city of Babylon was founded by Nimrod was renowned for its “pride” and rebellion; its pagan worship of false gods was the beginning of the degeneration from monotheism to polytheism (Rom. 1:18–32), and reached a climax when its inhabitants sought equality with God (Gen. 11:1–9). God turned human ambition and ingenuity against him at Babel into chaos and confusion.

God has issued a call to His Remnant to stand against this evil, to not remain silent but to use the power of our voices, releasing His Word for then shall the Angelic armies assigned to war with and defend the Bride in this generation begin to dismantle these evil strongholds which are oppressing this nation.

I for one refuse to remain silent and will climb to the highest rooftops if need be to sound the alarm and awaken the Bride, for the time for an all-out offensive strike using every spiritual weapon at our disposal is the standing order of the day from Heaven.

We cannot remain silent, we can not let our children see their destinies ruined, and we can not stand by and watch our nation fall to the evil powers that seek to rule it. I know I won’t and I know only Spirit is gathering a massive Remnant army in this nation, the Angelic warriors have been dispatched, and the time for WAR is NOW. #SELAH

The Awakening Call to the Remnant in this generation.

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).

A Radical call to Obedience

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

20 YEARS OF SOAKING IN REVIVAL STREAMS…

Posted: August 2, 2022 in Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, wilderness

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”
