WE DO NOT FEAR, WE STAND IN FAITH!

If we, as believers, get caught up in the chaos and turmoil of the world rather than beholding the Lamb of God, we will, like Peter, begin to sink and falter. In the days we are living in, we MUST keep our eyes LOCKED on the throne!

We must see the Lamb of God SEATED—not wavering, not shifting, not worried, not nervous—on the throne! He STILL has all power and all authority, and the earth is STILL His footstool.

We cannot be fearful of the tumultuous world around us. We must STAND IN FAITH, knowing that He who began a good work in us is FAITHFUL to complete it! He who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. He who cares for the sparrow is watching over us. He has given us the angelic host to help us in our time of need.

JESUS IS NOT MOVED BY THE CHAOS IN PARIS! He is not moved by the rise of Islam, Communism, or Socialism. He existed before them, and He will remain long after they are gone.

CHURCH, LIFT YOUR EYES AND STAND IN FAITH! Do not bow to fear or be shaken by the headlines. Our confidence is not in the condition of this world but in the unchanging, all-powerful King of Glory!

THE THRONE IS NOT VACANT. THE LAMB IS STILL SEATED. JESUS STILL REIGNS! STAND FIRM, BELIEVE GOD, AND KEEP YOUR EYES LOCKED ON JESUS! WE WILL NOT FEAR!

PENSACOLA, IT’S TIME TO PRAY! Let’s gather on November 6th for this holy convocation as we cry out to the Lord for our nation. It’s time to redig the wells and contend for an outpouring of the Spirit of God in our generation. We are not crying out for another Brownsville Revival, we are crying out for a supernatural move of the Holy Ghost that will shift a nation!

Back in 2023, while watching my friend, Dr. Lydia S. Marrow - Vanguard Ministries, minister in Canada, the Lord gave me a prophetic word for the nation of Canada. I sent the word to Lydia, and she released it at the end of her message, “Location, Location, Location.”

Our team was recently editing footage from that meeting when we came across the prophetic word again. After reviewing it, we felt it was time to release it publicly to the Body of Christ.

Canada, we love you and are believing for a mighty outpouring of the river of the Holy Ghost! We are contending with you for a move of the Spirit of God in this generation.

May God bless the nation of Canada and His Church throughout the land!

Ever wonder where the origins of Halloween actually came from? CHECK THIS VIDEO OUT!

You can celebrate the dead if you want to, but I'm going to celebrate life! Why? Because I celebrate Jesus, and He is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE. I choose Jesus over candy and costumes.

“...For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God...” — 2 Corinthians 6:14–18

What is the problem with celebrating Halloween? Is it really that b...

What if the message of “love yourself” is actually the opposite of what Jesus taught?

We live in a culture that constantly tells us to “self-love,” “treat yourself,” put yourself first, and prioritize your own happiness. But when we open the pages of Scripture, we find a very different message.

Jesus said, “Deny yourself.” He commanded us to “love your neighbor” and called us to care for the poor, the widows, and the orphans. The way of Jesus has never been centered around self-preservation, self-promotion, or self-gratification. It has always been the way of surrender.

It is interesting that Paul warned Timothy that in the last days, men would be “lovers of themselves” (2 Tim. 3:2). We are living in a culture that constantly tells us to put ourselves first, prioritize ourselves, indulge ourselves, protect ourselves, and make ourselves happy.

But the Gospel calls us to something radically different.

We are so quick to promote self-care and self-love, yet Jesus calls us to deny ourselves. He bids us to come, pick up our cross, and follow Him. He calls us to lay down our lives, crucify our flesh, and die to ourselves.

The Christian life is not about getting everything we want. It is not about making ourselves comfortable. It is not about building our lives around ourselves.

It is about surrender.

It is about obedience.

It is about laying down our lives for the sake of Christ and His Kingdom.

So, is the Gospel about making much of ourselves, or is it about laying down our lives and making much of Jesus?

We must decide which voice we are going to listen to: the voice of a culture that says, “Love yourself,” or the voice of Jesus that says, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.”

We do not fear the storm. We either rebuke the wind, or we walk on the waves. Either way, we are victorious. The storm may rage, the winds may roar, and the waves may rise—but they will never have the final word. We do not bow to the storm; we stand above the waves and walk through the storm in victory.
