Something shifts in the spirit when your desires collide with God’s direction. There are seasons when your heart is set on one thing, yet the Lord—quietly, firmly, and sovereignly—redirects your steps. “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9). For years, Wyoming tugged at me. The mountains, the open land, the country rhythm that feels like home to someone raised in the woods of Maine. Opportunities came, doors cracked open, and the idea of pastoring out West stirred something deep.

Yet heaven remained silent. Not a whisper. Not a nudge. Just holy stillness.

As I continued pastoring the church I still shepherd today, I often asked the Lord for an exit plan. I prayed for clarity, for confirmation, for the green light to pack up and head toward the mountains. But the heavens stayed quiet, and sometimes silence is the loudest answer of all. Then, as 2024 closed and 2025 dawned, the voice of the Lord broke through the stillness with unmistakable clarity: “Disciple a Remnant here in Jacksonville. Take the city for the Kingdom.” Before I could fully process that assignment, He added, “Seek My will for the First Coast region.” Suddenly, the silence made sense—God had been waiting for the right moment to reveal His plan.

My first reaction wasn’t bold faith; it was hesitation. I told the Lord, “I’m not from here. Others born here have greater authority.” But the Holy Spirit confronted that lie instantly. “Who told you that? Wherever you go, you carry the authority of the Father. And when you stand in the place I have called you, that authority intensifies.” His words struck me like fire. Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore…” (Matthew 28:18–19).

Authority is not geographical—it is inherited. It is delegated. It is activated through obedience, not birthplace.

Stepping into 2026, I found myself asking the Lord, “Where is this Remnant You spoke of?” Our congregation is faithful, loving, and growing, but I wasn’t seeing the mountain‑moving disciples He described. They were maturing individually, but the corporate fire, the collective roar, the unified intercession that shakes cities—I wasn’t seeing it yet. And in that moment of frustration, the Holy Spirit whispered again: “Go to Hebrews 11:1 and stay there until the revelation consumes you.” So I went. And I stayed. And I’m still there.

Ever since fully and radically giving my life to the Lord on March 29, 2016, I’ve walked through a refining fire that has burned away self‑will and awakened holy purpose. It has been a season of dying to my own desires, surrendering dreams that once defined me, and embracing the crucible that shapes warriors. In that fire, something deep within me has been quickened—a cry that says, You were destined for this. You were born with a warrior’s heart. Every battle, every pruning, every delay has been forging the steel of obedience for the assignment unfolding now.

The Lord never wastes a surrendered life; He weaponizes it for His glory.

Now, as February 2026 approaches, I remain seated in the furnace of Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” I have revelation for books—check. I’m mentoring leaders afar—check. I’m walking in obedience—check. But the Lord is showing me that faith doesn’t begin with what you see; it begins with what He said. The Remnant is not missing. The Remnant is forming. The Remnant is awakening.

The Remnant is being summoned by the Word of the Lord, not by my natural eyes.

So what am I missing? Perhaps nothing at all. Perhaps this is the season where faith becomes substance, where unseen promises begin to take shape, where obedience becomes the birthplace of manifestation. Maybe the Remnant isn’t something I find—it’s something God forms through surrendered leadership, persistent prayer, and unwavering trust. And maybe, just maybe, the very thing I thought I lacked is already growing beneath the surface, waiting for the fullness of time. Because when God redirects your steps, He never wastes your longing—He transforms it into fuel for the assignment you were born to carry.

And now, to every warrior in the Jacksonville region whose spirit is burning even as you read this—this is your moment. If your heart has been crying out for something real, something weighty, something Kingdom, hear this call. If you’ve felt the ache of being underutilized, unseen, or spiritually misplaced… if you’ve carried gifts that others didn’t know what to do with… if you’ve longed for an apostolic family where fire, strategy, assignment, and honor flow together—your season of wandering is ending. The Lord is gathering His Remnant, and He is summoning those with a warrior’s heart to take their place in a movement that is rising with precision, purity, and power.

If your spirit leaps at the sound of this—if you know you were born for more than church-as-usual, if you hunger to be discipled, deployed, and developed in a Kingdom family that recognizes and honors what God placed inside you—reach out. The Remnant is forming. The warriors are awakening. The assignments are being released. And there is a place for you in what God is building here on the First Coast.

Give me a shout at remnantwarriors4christ@gmail.com. If your heart is burning, don’t ignore it. That fire is your confirmation.

Holding the Line: The Remnant Warrior’s Charge

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 Kingdom Age Wells of Glory

Posted: January 7, 2026 in Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

The Hammer and the Fire: Breaking Religious Strongholds in This Generation

Posted: December 18, 2025 in Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant
Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

Exposing the Real Threat: The Ancient Spirit of Religion vs. the Victorious Bride

Posted: July 19, 2025 in Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Prophetic Warning, Remnant, Spirit-Wind People, Spiritual warfare
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s not the woke ideologies, shifting cultural norms, or political chaos that pose the greatest threat to the Church—it is the ancient, insidious spirit of religion. Its tactics are subtle, its costume convincing, and its history long. From the blood-soaked soil beneath Abel’s sacrifice to the polished pulpits of today, this spirit has played the part of gatekeeper to God—yet all it does is keep the people from His presence.

Let’s be clear: this spirit doesn’t fear revival, it mimics it. It doesn’t stop worship, it redirects it toward traditions void of power. It doesn’t quench the prophetic, it sterilizes it—pressuring the prophets to conform, dilute, and apologize.

🚨 This spirit has infiltrated the modern Church, binding the saints with doctrines that sound holy but are hollow. Chief among them? The doctrine of escapism—the belief that the Church must survive until evacuation, rather than rise until enthronement. But that doctrine is a lie. Heaven has never commissioned a passive Bride. Scripture declares a Victorious Church: one that conquers, overcomes, and reigns. One that doesn’t wait for retreat but prepares for occupation—until the return of Christ, when He sets up His eternal throne among the redeemed on Earth.

⚔️ This War Is Ancient—but So Is Our Weaponry

The spirit of religion is not young. It has studied humanity for thousands of years—learning to twist truth, manipulate emotion, and institutionalize dead devotion. It stirs jealousy, crushes creativity, and prefers order over Spirit. It is the same spirit that rejected Christ, stoned the prophets, and persecuted the early Church. It whispers “God won’t move like that” while God breaks open the heavens with wonders.

But there is good news. The Remnant has not been left without power. Before this spirit ever slithered into the story, Holy Spirit hovered over the waters. He is older than deception, deeper than doctrine, and more powerful than any tradition. Within Him is eternal wisdom, supernatural strategies, and the kind of insight that exposes darkness before it even speaks.

🔑 Holy Spirit is our advantage. He reveals what religious spirits hide. He empowers what religious systems suppress. And through Him, the Remnant carries tools that dismantle strongholds: prophetic decrees, spiritual discernment, fervent intercession, and supernatural fire that religion cannot fake.

🚪 Let the Remnant Arise

This is the hour for liberation, not accommodation. The Remnant must rise—not in rebellion against church structures—but in full surrender to the King who refuses to be tamed by tradition. It’s time to confront deception, tear down strongholds, and liberate the saints from spiritual imprisonment.

Let every pulpit echo Heaven’s cry.

Let every believer be reawakened by truth.

Let every ministry be unshackled from religion and freshly baptized in Holy Spirit fire.

🕊️ To the Ecclesia: You Are Not Meekly Waiting—You Are Boldly Occupying

You were never called to survive until rescued. You were commissioned to govern until revealed. Christ is not returning for a Church stuck in fear—He’s coming for a Bride clothed in righteousness, roaring in authority, and triumphant in warfare.

This is your call, Remnant. Arise. Occupy. Confront. Liberate.

Expose religion. Embody freedom. Execute the will of Heaven.

The gates of hell will not prevail—not against the true Ecclesia, not against the prophetic Bride, and certainly not against those armed by the Spirit of God.

🌍 To the Stirred and Awakened: Find Your Tribe

If this message awakens something deep within you, it’s not just conviction—it’s commissioning. You’re not alone. The Remnant is rising all across the earth—bold believers marked by fire, holiness, and Heaven’s DNA. Apostolic voices, prophetic reformers, intercessory warriors—diverse in expression, united in mission.

Now is the time to seek them out. Find your Remnant Tribe. Link arms with those who refuse to bow to religion or retreat into silence. Strengthen one another. Build together. War together. Advance together.

Because revival is not a solo journey—it’s a Remnant revolution.

Smiling Assassins & Counterfeit Covenants: A Warning to the Watchmen

Posted: June 25, 2025 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, Remnant, Spirit-Wind People, Spiritual warfare
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , ,
0

We are not just in another season—we’re in a spiritual epoch. A threshold moment where destinies are being either activated or aborted based on the alliances we allow. The warfare is no longer general—it’s surgical. The enemy isn’t throwing random attacks; he’s mapping out your relationships, stalking your alignments, and seeking access to your call through open doors of unchecked connection.

In this critical hour, the Lord has whispered a solemn charge to me: “Let Me govern your alignments.”

This isn’t about becoming skeptical. It’s about becoming sanctified in how we align. The Holy Spirit is sounding an alarm across the Body: “Stop entertaining every handshake. Stop validating every olive branch.” Because not every invitation is from Heaven. Some are beautifully packaged assignments from hell.

I’ve seen firsthand how, when one demonic alignment is severed, the enemy will often send a carefully crafted replacement. A subtle infiltration. These substitutes don’t come how you’d expect—they come wrapped in familiarity, affirmation, and spiritual language. They quote the Word. They mention Jesus. They speak of unity and healing. But they carry the residue of what you were just delivered from.

He revealed to me that some of these connections—though outwardly peaceful—are actually bound to people or networks that God has clearly marked for disconnection. And if you’re not discerning, you will find yourself yoked to what you were once freed from.

This is why I’ve been relentlessly declaring the need for a radical awakening to the gift of discerning spirits. Not a shallow intuition. Not emotional skepticism. But Holy Spirit-led perception that pierces through soulish layers and unveils what spirit is truly operating behind the veil.

Discerning of spirits is not just a “side gift” for deliverance ministers—it is a survival gift for every believer, and a governing gift for those called to lead in this final hour. It’s the difference between partnering with destiny or falling into delay. Between building with living stones or mixing with strange fire.

This gift:

  • Divides between what’s anointed and what’s admired
  • Identifies spirits that mimic truth but operate in mixture
  • Protects against assignments disguised as assistance
  • Reads the frequency of a voice, not just the tone of their message

And we need this desperately. Because deception no longer looks demonic—it looks divine. The counterfeit has evolved. It doesn’t come yelling rebellion. It comes whispering agreement. It doesn’t knock down your door. It asks for a seat at your table. And if you are not governed by the Spirit, you’ll offer hospitality to sabotage.

Leaders, gatekeepers, intercessors: if ever there was a time to sharpen your discernment, it is now. Your ability to hear clearly in this hour will determine the purity of what you build. If you do not allow the Holy Spirit to inspect every alignment, you risk constructing with compromised materials.

Many are frustrated—not because of a lack of vision—but because of corrupted partnerships. You can’t build Zion with Babylonian bricks. You cannot steward the presence of God while partnering with those the Lord has marked as misaligned. There are connections that dilute your fire. Conversations that dull your hearing. Partnerships that make you question what God already made clear.

This is the hour to return to the altar of separation. To consecrate not only your actions, but your associations. The Holy Spirit is cleansing the camp, not out of harshness, but out of mercy. Because the rising Remnant cannot afford to walk with blinders on. We are being commissioned to build with precision, not popularity.

Let the gift of discerning spirits arise in you—not for judgment, but for governance. Not to puff up, but to protect the oil. To shield the pure thing God is birthing in this hour from mixture and manipulation.

The Lord is raising up shepherds who can smell the difference between sheep and wolves in sheep’s clothing. He’s commissioning watchmen who don’t just see danger—they feel it in their bones. He’s calling forth sons and daughters who will guard their gate with fasting, weeping, and authority.

So I say this with a trembling heart: Let Him govern your alignments. Let Him cleanse the prophetic gate. Let Him strip even the counterfeit covenants that once brought comfort. Because the price of tolerating mixture is the forfeiting of momentum.

You don’t need everyone. You need the right ones—those whose spirits resonate with what Heaven is building through you. Those whom the Father has assigned, not those whom the enemy has disguised.

This isn’t the hour of convenience. This is the hour of consecration.

The remnant is rising—and they will not be known by title or platform, but by purity, discernment, and unshakable alignment with the King.

Gideon’s Remnant Army: A Prophetic Call to Battle

Posted: January 20, 2025 in Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant, Spiritual warfare
Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,
0

For several weeks, more specifically, since November 5, 2024, I have been resonating with a profound phrase in my spirit: “Gideon’s remnant army is arising!”

This declaration evokes the Biblical tale of Gideon, found in Judges 7, where the Israelites, hardened by their own transgressions, find themselves oppressed by the Midianites. After seven years of tyranny, they are reduced to hiding in the mountains and caves, stripped of their strength and dignity.

In this dire situation, God calls upon Gideon to rally an army, but the Lord, in His divine wisdom, reduces Gideon’s forces from 32,000 warriors to a mere 300. This seemingly small number against the vast Midianite army symbolizes a powerful truth: God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness.

God’s intention in this narrative was not solely to confront the Midianites but also to challenge the Israelites’ idolatry and reliance on false gods. The Israelites had turned away from the very foundation of their strength—faith in God.

As we reflect on the current state of our nation, it is impossible to ignore the parallels. A country that once proclaimed, “In God We Trust” now grapples with moral confusion, celebrating darkness as light and heralding evil as good.

The flag that once signified freedom and divine dependence is increasingly overshadowed by symbols that represent depravity and disorientation. In this context, the remnant—those who remain steadfast in faith amidst chaos—becomes a beacon of hope.

Returning to Gideon’s narrative, the Lord equips him and his 300 men with unconventional weapons: clay pots, torches, and ram’s horns. These instruments of warfare defy human logic and convention.

Yet, God instructs Gideon to act in unison with his men, demonstrating the power of unity and obedience to divine command. When they break the clay pots and reveal the blazing torches, they signal not only their presence but also the manifestation of God’s power in the midst of overwhelming odds.

The Midianites, caught in confusion and panic, turn on one another, resulting in a victory that no human strength could claim. This ancient story serves as a prophetic reminder for the church today.

The body of Christ finds itself facing an expansive “enemy army” that appears insurmountable. The mainstream media, which I humorously refer to as “Mediaites,” has become a formidable force, spreading misinformation and fostering division among the people.

Yet, even in this bleak landscape, there remains a remnant—those who refuse to bow to the pressures of the world and continue to wield the light of truth against the shadows of deceit.

The assurance from 2 Kings 6:16 resounds with clarity: “Don’t be afraid… Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” The battle may seem daunting, but the heavenly hosts stand firm alongside the remnant.

We are called to carry the blazing torch of truth and declare the victory of Yahweh with the sound of our voices. The time is approaching when the clay jars will shatter, and the light will shine forth, illuminating the darkness and instilling fear in the hearts of the oppressors.

As we navigate the societal unrest and chaos that characterize our current era, it is crucial to recognize that the conflict extends beyond physical manifestations.

It is a spiritual battle—a Civil War of ideologies, morals, and truths. The remnant army, empowered by faith, will rise up, uniting their voices to strike fear into the hearts of the wicked.

The message is clear: tyranny will not triumph, and the oppressors will not prevail. Gideon’s army, a testament of faith and divine intervention, will once again emerge victorious. In conclusion, the tale of Gideon’s remnant army is not merely a historical account; it is a prophetic call to action for believers today.

We are reminded that it is not by human might or power that we achieve victory, but by the Spirit of the Lord. As we embrace our roles as warriors in this spiritual battle, let us remain steadfast, united, and resolute in carrying the light of truth into the darkness.

The remnant is rising, and with it, the promise of victory in the face of overwhelming odds.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The question is brothers and sisters, Are you ready?

The Remnant’s Response to False Teachings

In the face of a world consumed by false teachings and misleading doctrines, the Remnant, God’s Last Days Army, stands firm in their unwavering dedication to Jesus Christ. As dedicated followers of our Savior, we are called to be vigilant guardians of the truth, never swayed by the deceptive allure of false teaching.

Let us take a moment and delve into the Remnant’s response to these dangerous ideologies that threaten to dilute the purity of our faith. We understand that false teachings can deceive even the most devout believers, leading them astray from the path of righteousness.

The Remnant, however, is equipped with the necessary tools to combat such falsehoods. Our devotion to prayer, studying the Word of God, and relying on the guidance of Holy Spirit allows us to discern truth from deception. We do not simply accept every teaching that comes our way, but instead, we test them against the unchanging principles found in the Bible.

One of the key aspects of the Remnant’s response to false teachings is our commitment to sound doctrine. We understand that the foundation of our faith lies in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the apostles. Therefore, we are cautious of any teachings that deviate from the biblical truth.

Moreover, the Remnant is united in their rejection of compromise. We do not succumb to the pressure of conforming to popular beliefs or cultural norms. Instead, we hold fast to the standards set by God, even if they seem unpopular or outdated to the world.

The Remnant also understands the importance of remaining teachable. While we reject false teachings, we remain open to correction and instruction from trusted spiritual leaders and mentors. We recognize that none of us possess all knowledge, and there is always room for growth and refinement in our understanding of God’s Word.

Overall, the Remnant’s response to false teachings is rooted in unwavering faith, prayerful discernment, and a commitment to biblical truth. We refuse to be led astray by the seductive allure of deception, choosing instead to remain steadfast in our pursuit of Jesus Christ. As members of God’s Last Days Army, we are called to stand firm, unyielding in our dedication to the truth, and resolute in our mission to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Navigating Cultural Relativism and Moral Decay

Now we must understand that at this time in history, cultural relativism and moral decay have become prevalent, posing significant challenges to dedicated followers of Jesus Christ. As members of God’s Last Days Army – Remnant Uprising, we are called to navigate these treacherous waters while upholding our faith and remaining steadfast in our commitment to God’s teachings.

Cultural relativism is the belief that all cultural practices and beliefs should be accepted and respected, regardless of whether they align with moral principles or not. This relativistic mindset has infiltrated various aspects of society, leading to a moral decay that threatens the very fabric of our faith. As followers of Jesus Christ, it is crucial for us to recognize the dangers of cultural relativism and its potential to erode our moral compass.

One of the first steps in navigating cultural relativism is to firmly establish our foundation in God’s word. The Bible serves as our ultimate guide, providing timeless truths and moral absolutes that transcend cultural norms. By studying and meditating on Scripture, we equip ourselves with the tools necessary to discern right from wrong, even in a morally confused world.

Moreover, as members of the Remnant in this generation, we must actively engage with the culture around us. Rather than isolating ourselves from society, we should strive to be a light in the darkness, sharing God’s love and truth with those around us. In doing so, we can challenge cultural relativism by offering an alternative perspective rooted in God’s unchanging principles.

However, navigating cultural relativism requires discernment and wisdom. We must be cautious not to compromise our beliefs or dilute the truth in an attempt to be culturally relevant. Instead, we should seek to understand the underlying motivations and values of the culture while maintaining a firm stance on biblical truth. By doing so, we can effectively engage with the world without being swept away by its moral decay.

With this understanding, we press on knowing that as dedicated followers of Jesus Christ, we must be vigilant in navigating cultural relativism and moral decay. By grounding ourselves in God’s word, actively engaging with the culture, and maintaining a discerning spirit, we can uphold our faith and be a powerful force for positive change in a world that desperately needs it. Let us rise up as God’s Last Days Army – Remnant Uprising and boldly proclaim the truth in the face of cultural relativism and moral decay.

Overcoming Doubt and Staying Grounded in Truth

In the journey of faith, doubt often creeps in like a silent thief, threatening to dismantle our beliefs and shake the very foundation of our spirituality. As dedicated followers of Jesus Christ, we find ourselves facing numerous challenges and uncertainties, especially in these last days. However, it is crucial for us to learn how to overcome doubt and stay grounded in the unshakeable truths of our faith.

First and foremost, we must recognize that doubt is not a sign of weakness or lack of faith; rather, it is a natural part of our human experience. Even the most devout disciples have encountered moments of doubt, as seen in the biblical accounts of Thomas and Peter. Doubt does not define us; it is how we respond to it that matters.

To overcome doubt, we need to cultivate a deep and personal relationship with God. This involves spending quality time in prayer, studying His Word, and seeking His presence in our daily lives. By immersing ourselves in His truth, we equip ourselves with the spiritual armor necessary to combat doubt. The more we know God, the more we trust Him, and the less power doubt has over us.

Another powerful tool in overcoming doubt is the fellowship of like-minded believers. Surrounding ourselves with a community of dedicated followers of Jesus Christ provides us with encouragement, accountability, and wisdom. By sharing our doubts and struggles, we realize that we are not alone in our journey. We can learn from one another’s experiences, gaining fresh insights and perspectives that strengthen our faith and dispel doubt.

Furthermore, staying grounded in truth requires discernment. In these last days, false teachings and deceptive ideologies abound. We must be vigilant in testing everything against the infallible Word of God. Holy Spirit, our divine guide, will help us distinguish between truth and falsehood, enabling us to remain firm in our convictions.

Lastly, we must remember that doubt is not the enemy; it can be a catalyst for growth. When we confront our doubts head-on, seeking answers and seeking God, our faith becomes stronger. Doubt can lead us to a deeper understanding of God’s character, His promises, and His faithfulness. By embracing doubt as an opportunity for spiritual growth, we can emerge from the shadows of uncertainty with a renewed and unshakeable faith.

As members of God’s Last Days Remnant Army, let it be clear that we are called to stand firm in our faith, even in the face of doubt. By staying grounded in truth, nurturing our relationship with God, relying on the support of fellow believers, and exercising discernment, we can overcome doubt and continue to be a powerful force for God’s kingdom. Let us embrace this journey of faith, knowing that in our weakness, God’s strength is made perfect.

Time to Activate the Remnant’s Spiritual Warriors

As I was writing my Book “Warrior’s Arsenal: Equipping Spiritually Minded Soldiers with the Armor of God” Holy Spirit was speaking to me on different cultural topics regarding the cultural trends that our nation is currently settled in, as well as why certain dark forces have been permitted to influence these cultural trends that have grave consequences, especially regarding the children of this nation.

Abortion is at the top of the list, but running in a close second is the attack on their sexuality. From the spiritual tsunami-like push of transgender ideologies to the avalancheing onslaught of child trafficking across this nation, which has been greatly increased due to the current administration’s refusal to secure our borders.

However, this is essentially not a crisis created by any one political party, it is, in reality, a dereliction of duty on the part of the American Church. As the Church, we have been Spiritually empowered to represent Heaven here on Earth as governmental officials assigned by the courts of Heaven.

With that being said, concerning the authority we have been commissioned and deputized with from the Throne room, here is a small insight into what Holy Spirit shared with me while writing this book:
_________________________________________________________________

First and foremost, we must be aware that not everyone will embrace cultural transformation with open arms. Change can be unsettling and challenging for many, as it disrupts the familiar and comfortable.

Some may fear losing their sense of identity or their position of power within the existing cultural framework. Recognizing these underlying fears and concerns is crucial in understanding the opposition we may face.

As Spiritual Warriors, we are called to respond with grace, humility, and love. It is important to engage in genuine dialogue and seek to understand the concerns and perspectives of those who oppose cultural transformation.

By doing so, we can address their fears and misconceptions, presenting a compelling case for the positive impact that the Gospel of the Kingdom can have on society.

Furthermore, we must be prepared to confront the resistance that may come from established institutions and systems. These entities often resist change, as it may challenge their authority or disrupt their traditional ways of operating.

By recognizing this opposition, we can strategize and find creative ways to navigate through these obstacles, without compromising our mission of cultural transformation.

It is essential to equip ourselves with knowledge and wisdom, both in understanding the opposition and in effectively communicating the cultural changing power of the Gospel.

This includes being well-versed in the Scriptures, studying the examples of cultural transformation throughout history, and staying informed about the latest societal trends and issues. By doing so, we can present a compelling case for the relevance of the Gospel in addressing the pressing needs of our time.

Finally, we must remember that cultural transformation is a long-term endeavor. It requires perseverance, resilience, and unwavering faith.

The opposition we encounter should not deter us from our mission, but rather strengthen our resolve to bring about positive change in our culture. As Spiritual Warriors, we are called to be the agents of transformation, guided by the power of the Gospel of the Kingdom.
_____________________________________________________________

It’s time to release the Spiritual Warriors into the culture of the world, especially that which has infiltrated the American Church. It is time for the Remnant to take its ordained positions as cultural influencers, and Kingdom trendsetters.

It is time for the Ekklesia of Christ to wake up, and step into Her place of authority in this nation as well as the nations of this world.

As the sons and daughters of God, we weld a supernatural spiritual weapon that the enemy has absolutely no ability to stop, TRUTH sealed in GOD’s Word and the Blood of the Lamb.

Let us release the Kingdom’s weaponized prayers empowered by the LIGHT of TRUTH, dipped in the supernatural authority of the Gospel against the evil forces behind child sex trafficking, and the porn industry, commanding their streams of income to be dried up and depleted.

Let us release prayers that will activate the Angelic Warriors of Heaven to seek out every individual connected to these hellish organizations to be exposed, arrested, and brought to justice. #SELAH
