This Friday will be my First West Virginia General Assembly Address to the Mother - Worldwide Global Fellowship to the General Assembly at our ONE YEAR Church Anniversary Service!

It will be the 12th year of the government of the church! {The number 12 in the Bible holds significant meaning, symbolizing authority, governance, and completeness. It represents God's power and serves as a perfect foundation for governance, as seen in the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve apostles. Additionally, it signifies the completeness of God's people and divine order throughout scripture}

Hope to see everyone out - Our Special Speaker is Bishop George Scott of Huntington W.VA and Music by Devine Destiny from Oliver Hill, Kentucky. Dinner will follow the service.

There must be a cleansing in the house of God.

The Church has become comfortable while the world is dying.

We boast that the church is alive and well, yet our altars are empty, our baptistries are still, and our communities remain unchanged.

Where are the sinners crying out for mercy?
Where are the drunkards being delivered?
Where are the addicts being set free?
Where are the prostitutes becoming worshipers?
Where are the broken finding the Cross?

Some have become more concerned with protecting platforms than carrying the burden of the Gospel. We’ve polished productions, perfected programs, and mastered presentation—but have we wept over souls?

The early Church shook cities because they were filled with the Holy Spirit. Today, too often we’re satisfied if we can fill a building.

God is not impressed with our lights, our brands, our titles, or our applause. He is looking for a people with clean hands, pure hearts, and a passion for the lost.

We don’t need another celebrity.
We don’t need another performance.
We don’t need another religious event.

We need holy conviction.
We need genuine repentance.
We need the fire of the Holy Ghost.
We need preachers who fear God more than they fear men.
We need churches where the presence of God is greater than the production.

If heaven isn’t rejoicing over souls being saved, then something is wrong.

Lord, cleanse Your Church.
Break our pride.
Restore our burden.
Let the fear of the Lord return to the pulpit, the altar, and the pew.

“Judgment must begin at the house of God.” — 1 Peter 4:17

“The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.” — Luke 19:10

“Turn us again, O God… and cause Thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.” — Psalm 80:3

The Church of God of the Apostolic Faith – Official Announcement from the Archbishop
For the next few weeks, the Church of God will be holding Bible Studies only.

As Archbishop, I have made this adjustment due to the new young people we are working with, and the unique season our ministry is entering.

Our church building will be undergoing renovations and major updates as we prepare for our 1st Year Church Anniversary. Because of this, we will not always be at the church location for sermons. Many services and teachings will be held online, and our schedule will vary during construction.

Please call before coming out to the church to make sure we are on-site that day. We want to avoid anyone making a trip only to find the building unavailable.

All regular services and operations will return to normal at 6pm on August 14th, 2026.

Thank you for your patience, your prayers, and your continued support as we strengthen and expand the work of the Lord.

— Archbishop Lee Bowling

THE HEAD OF THE SERPENT MUST COME OFF.

There are battles in the spirit that cannot be managed. They must be severed.

Some spirits do not leave because they were merely confronted. They leave when a believer rises in divine authority and cuts off the cycle at its root. Lust, fornication, adultery, addiction, covetousness, these are not just random acts of the flesh. They are often entry points of ancient warfare, patterns that have moved through bloodlines, attached themselves to wounds, fed on secrecy, and built altars in generations.

But hear this by the Spirit of God:

What survived in your family will not survive in you.

What took others down will not take you out.

What repeated for years is meeting the sword of the Lord in this season.

There are people fighting appetites and calling it personality. Fighting bo***ge and calling it weakness. Fighting inherited warfare and calling it “just the way I am.” No. Some of what you are battling is not merely a habit. It is a spiritual pattern demanding agreement. It wants access through unhealed pain, unguarded desires, loneliness, trauma, rejection, and compromise. It studies where your resistance is low and where your soul is thirsty. It waits for moments of isolation, exhaustion, offense, and vulnerability to reintroduce what God already told you to kill.

This is why temptation cannot be treated casually. Temptation is often the bait of a stronger bo***ge. It does not come just to make you stumble. It comes to rebuild what God delivered you from. It comes to restore an appetite that heaven already judged. It comes to revive dead agreements and reopen closed doors. The enemy does not need new strategies if old access points are still available.

But I prophesy over every person under the sound of this word:

▫️The cycle breaks here.

▫️The appetite loses its power here.

▫️The agreement with darkness is being revoked here.

▫️The bloodline warfare meets the fire of deliverance here.

You will not spend your life fighting the same serpent your mother fought, your father fought, your bloodline fought, and your private world fought. This is the hour where God is not just calling His people to resist sin. He is calling them to decapitate the pattern. To cut off the head means you are no longer just dealing with symptoms. You are destroying the authority, the voice, and the continuation of that thing.

Some of you do not need another motivational speech. You need a violent break in the spirit. You need to lay the axe to the root. You need to renounce what was normalized, confront what was hidden, close what was entertained, and starve what was secretly being fed. Because whatever you keep feeding will keep fighting to stay alive.

▫️The Lord says, “Put on the whole armor, but do not forget the sword.”

▫️There are seasons for patience, and there are seasons for war.

▫️There are seasons for healing, and there are seasons for severing.

▫️This is a season to cut covenant with compromise and make no provision for the flesh.

I DECREE:

* Every serpent of lust loses its grip.
* Every cycle of fornication is broken.
* Every covenant with adultery is shattered.
* Every altar of addiction is overturned.
* Every spirit of covetousness is uprooted.
* Every inherited weakness that has tracked your bloodline is being arrested by the power of Jesus Christ.

You are not called to coexist with what Christ died to destroy.

You are not anointed to babysit devils.

You are not graced to negotiate with serpents.

Cut it off.
Break it.
Renounce it.
Starve it.
Expose it.
Destroy the altar.
Close the gate.

And let the enemy know that this bloodline has met a deliverer.

ELIJAH’S MANTLE DECLARES:

The serpent may have hissed through generations, but in this hour its head is coming off.

FIRST LADies and Pastor Wife's…

You’ve cooked, cleaned, painted, sang, worked the altar; you’ve ironed clothes, wiped noses, gone with you husband in the middle of the night to sit with hurting families, or to talk someone out of su***de!

But it seems like we never sat still long enough to hear YOU scream when the doctor said “miscarriage”! It looks like we forgot far too quickly when Pastor suffered his heart attack and you couldn't leave his side!

You wondered where the “thanks” were when you helped cook a hot meal for the struggling neighbors, while your children ate leftovers so you could!

First Lady…WE SEE YOU TODAY! We hear your heart crying! We see you holding the little pink or blue outfit that your precious child would have worn! We hear your “why’s?” in the darkness, as you hold your husband’s hand and pray for a little more time! We see your emotional struggle as you think your children deserve an apology, but you wonder if you give them one, will it mean you regret doing God’s work!

WE’RE HERE, FIRST LADY! WE’RE HERE PREACHER’S WIFE! Today, we honor you and all you’ve been forced to feel!! Thank you for not leaving us!!!!

Immediate Funding Needed to Sustain Operations

Dear Donor, I am writing to inform you of an urgent financial need at The Hope Center and our food bank. We cannot keep the doors open under current conditions.

We need freezers and refrigerators. Without proper equipment it is costing us money on rent.
In order to continue serving the community responsibly, we must raise funds immediately to purchase proper equipment and secure additional help.

Without this support, our operations will be forced to scale back, affecting the families who rely on us. Please consider donating today.

Your contribution will directly prevent waste, reduce operating costs, and ensure we can continue providing essential services.

Thank you for your prompt attention, our goal is 5,000

President Trump has given Recep Erdogan of Turkey carte blanche to assert himself on the world stage.

Trump's "great friend" is a ravening wolf who must certainly be laughing up his sleeve as his global stature is being certified by the President. But the viewpoint from Israel is altogether different.

Israeli politicians call Erdogan "the hybrid of Hi**er and Sinwar." He runs tight with the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and Hezbollah. He is a staunch Muslim, with dreams of restoring the ancient Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East.

Although President Trump has done many wonderful things for the U.S. and the world, he is dead wrong on Turkey.

He is fostering Turkey's clout in NATO, wanting Erdogan to become more active in the security apparatus of Europe. He in considering selling F-35s to Turkey, which will give them a measure of air superiority over Israel.

Erdogan's rhetoric is on the record. He wants Jerusalem. He wants the Temple Mount. He wants Gaza. He wants the Golan.

Privately, he wants Europe. Israel and the world will suffer many things because of Erdogan.

The Bible is clear that an Assyrian Man of Sin, Little Horn, King of the North will someday come to commit abominations and desolations during the great Tribulation.

It looks like we are on the fast-track to get there.

There is nothing more powerful than placing the Word of God into the hands of those called to share it. We are making disciples in and across the world. Bibles are being shipped to our missionary teams across the world.

Thank you for those who gave to the project - Your the BEST!!
