Throughout the years, I’ve come to understand something vital—something I pray more leaders, pastors, counselors, and believers begin to grasp: You cannot speak into someone’s emotional or mental state without being led by the Holy Spirit. When you’re engaging with someone who is anxious, depressed, mentally distraught, emotionally overwhelmed, or walking through a season they…

In a culture obsessed with self-discovery, we are constantly told that the answers we seek are hidden within us. We are encouraged to “look inward,” “find our truth,” and trust our own hearts. But the Bible confronts this modern perspective: the conclusions about who we are, what is wrong with the world, and what must…

I’ve been sitting in the book of John lately—studying, devouring, replaying, and meditating—and the Lord keeps dropping one powerful nugget after another into my spirit. And as usual, my assignment is the same: to bring truth into the light, to highlight details many overlook, and to confront the places where popular teaching has glossed over…

There’s a kind of pain and grief that isn’t often addressed within the Church — a quiet ache that follows the miracle. It’s the feeling that comes after salvation, after healing, after deliverance — when God finally brings you out of the storm, but you realize not everyone came out with you. It’s the heaviness…

A scriptural warning about the danger of false unity and spiritual compromise. This study of Matthew 13:25–30 calls the Church to awaken, discern the truth, and stand firm on the exclusive Lordship of Jesus Christ.

I’ve been in conversation many times with people confessing the depths of their lives—the sin they’ve engaged in, the shame they carry. My response is never the same for each person. There are different circumstances, situations, and family histories that have led them to that point. While sinful patterns certainly exist, we must do our…

We live in a world full of clay pots—cracked vessels trying to hold the weight of power, influence, and leadership. It’s not new. From Israel’s kings to today’s political figures, humanity has always wrestled with flawed leadership. The question for believers isn’t whether our leaders are perfect—it’s whether we still choose to honor what God…

In our modern world, the battle for mental health can feel like a distinctly 21st century struggle. We talk about anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation with a new vocabulary, often feeling like we are navigating an uncharted wilderness. But the truth is, the war within our minds is not new. In fact, God provided the…

We are at war. It’s not cultural. It’s Spiritual. Every headline, every social media feed, every heated conversation screams it. We are told to choose a side, dig in, and fight. The battle lines are drawn over politics, social issues, and race. The world demands our outrage, our allegiance, and our energy in this relentless…

The spirit of flattery is often dismissed as mere manipulation, yet for those who are consecrated unto God, it is a calculated weapon of spiritual warfare. In recent years, many have experienced this insidious attack firsthand, myself included. I’ve encountered this demonic spirit through other people who, as it turns out, were sent on assignment…

The passage about Nadab and Abihu in Leviticus 10 is one of the most sobering accounts in the Bible. It serves as a warning against approaching God on our own terms, rather than His. The text is clear: they offered “strange fire before Yahweh, which He had not commanded them.” To understand the gravity of…

A few nights ago while sitting in silence the Lord began to download a word that I’ve been studying and meditating on. Despite who this may offend, my goal is to obey God. The Lord said: “This is the turning point. From this day forward what you say you believe and what you have read…

I’ve learned that anything God expressly forbids in His Word should be avoided, regardless of my personal feelings. This means I must also surrender my desires that contradict His instructions. If my feelings feel like a heavy weight, then they need to be laid aside before they become a sin that easily entangles me. (Hebrews…

Elijah had just experienced one of the greatest spiritual victories in his ministry—calling down fire from heaven on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18). Yet, soon after, fear and despair consumed him, and he fled into the wilderness, convinced he was utterly alone. It was in this moment of exhaustion, fear, and emotional turmoil that God…

On April 27th, 2023, I heard the Lord say, “The next world war will be psychological.” At the time, I understood that we were entering an era where battles would no longer be fought solely with weapons, but with minds, emotions, and spirits under siege. Now, as we look at the state of the world, we can…

Back in July 2024, I shared a message about The Power of One Accord. Just as we cannot be on one accord with one another until we are in agreement with God, we also cannot be on one accord until we all repent before Him. Scripture says, “If my people, who are called by my…

There’s a lot going on in the air—plane crashes, destruction of every kind, etc. I want to remind you that God has spoken about every matter under the heavens in His Holy Word. When we are ignorant of this, we pray amiss. We must always ensure that we pray in agreement with God. None of…

Agreeing with God for Revival If we desire personal, family, local, and global revival, we must first agree with God. Revival begins not with others but within our own hearts. As Amos 3:3 asks, “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” Agreement with God means surrendering our thoughts, feelings, and actions to align with…

I’m a person who studies patterns. I love all things related to behavior, especially as they intertwine with God and science. It’s one of the ways God teaches me to see deeper truths. One of the most apparent issues plaguing the body of Christ right now is idolatry. There’s been a significant increase in the…

I used to deceive myself with lies, a misguided attempt to ease the process of forgiveness and healing from anything hard and heavy. I convinced myself that if I could just manipulate my own perception, forgiveness would flow effortlessly, and the wounds would miraculously mend. But the truth, as elusive as it may be, has…

As we draw closer to the return of Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God is accelerating His people into their purposes. For many of us, this means stepping into times and seasons sooner than we believe we’re personally prepared for. It’s an exciting yet sobering reality, and one that requires us to make room for…

We’ve all heard sermons about having a relationship with God, but let’s pause and think: Do we truly understand what that means? For many, knowing God’s voice feels like a mystery.

Right now many people in the body of Christ are in a “Discerning the burning bush season.” There are moments in life when God shows up in ways we least expect. We know He speaks, and we long to hear His voice, but sometimes, the way He communicates doesn’t align with the patterns we’re used…

In a time where we are constantly bombarded with information, obligations, and choices, temptations and distractions often come in subtle, time-released forms. These gradual influences can pull us away from God’s purposes if we are not vigilant. The Bible offers wisdom on how to recognize and combat these snares. What Are Time-Released Temptations?

The spirit of fear is a spiritual toxin—it weakens your soul the way disease weakens the body. It compromises your spiritual immune system to such a degree that the manifest presence of God cannot dwell freely. Fear is not normal. It is not harmless. It spreads like a cancer, defying the natural order of God’s…

This exposure is subject to God’s authority. When anything is God’s doing this means we cannot pray it away, hope it away, deliver it away, or fast it away. Just as the Lord instructed Moses to prophesy to Israel and so it is today: “I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal;…

In life, we all face battles—some seen, some unseen. But what if I told you that victory was never meant to be fought in your own strength? That’s right. Victory isn’t about your ability, your power, or your weapons. It’s about Covenant—a divine partnership with God. If there’s one biblical story that illustrates this truth…
