CLF Church

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's tragic assassination, our generation is searching for answers and asking hard questions about faith, evil, and what it really takes to make a difference. 

This raw, urgent message addresses why our prayers for others often seem powerless and why speaking truth alone isn't enough to break through the spiritual darkness gripping people's hearts. You'll discover the hidden compromise that's keeping you from the kind of spiritual authority that actually sets people free, and learn what it takes to carry an anointing so strong that when you speak, hearts open and demons flee. 

By the end, you'll be emboldened and equipped to become the kind of person others can bring their deepest struggles to, knowing you have real answers that work.

God is speaking — but do we know how to recognize His voice? In this episode, we unpack four keys to hearing God clearly and learn how to discern between the three voices at work in our lives: our own, the enemy’s, and the Holy Spirit. This word will stir hunger for intimacy and obedience that unlocks breakthrough in every area of life.

Shabaka challenges us whether our Bible reading and prayer actually change us or if they're just religious routines. Discover how to read the Word of God for all its worth. 

Shabaka tests whether intimate relationship with God actually transforms daily life or if it's just "church talk." Using John 15 and Psalm 91, he breaks down the difference between Sunday-morning faith and true "abiding"—staying connected to God throughout your entire week. The goal? To discover if consistent intimacy with God produces real supernatural breakthrough and prophetic encounters... or if it's just another spiritual discipline that sounds good in theory.

What if the most spiritually dangerous moment in your life comes right after your greatest encounter with God?

In the last part of our series "Doorways to a Visitation', we explore the hidden pitfalls that follow divine visitations—those powerful moments when God manifests Himself to our senses. We'll uncover how spiritual victories create new opportunities for temptation, examine the ways we can accidentally "quench" or "grieve" the Holy Spirit through our posture and behavior, and learn practical strategies for sustaining a lifestyle of authentic encounters with God. From avoiding reality to using our experiences as trophies, we'll identify the subtle traps that can cause our visitations to fade or fail to produce lasting fruit.

Expect to develop a mature framework for stewarding spiritual encounters, learning to maintain humility and authenticity even after profound moments with God. You'll discover how to discern between genuine testimony and spiritual pride, and gain the wisdom to be both a friend to fellow disciples in deep spiritual process and to those who simply need to experience God's love through your everyday presence.

Most Christians believe God shows up for others, but miss the divine encounters waiting in their own lives.

This teaching is Part 1 from our 'Doorways to a Visitation' series where we dove into the reality that God desires to encounter his people personally, powerfully, and intimately.  Every believer can invite, recognize, receive, and respond to supernatural visitations from God. Using biblical examples from Mary to Moses, you'll see that divine encounters aren't reserved for spiritual elites but are the normal Christian experience. The session lays a scriptural foundation showing that the entire Bible is simply a record of one divine visitation after another, and that same God wants to visit you today.

Discover how to develop spiritual sensitivity to recognize when God is drawing them into intimate encounters that go beyond just "feeling His presence." You'll gain faith to step into transformational moments with the living God that will leave them carrying His glory into everyday situations at work, home, and in your community.

What does it really mean to follow Jesus — and why does it often feel uncomfortable? In this message, we explore how discipline is not punishment, but an invitation into maturity.

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the purpose behind conviction, conflict, delay, and suffering — and how they shape you into a true disciple. This message will help you see spiritual discipline not as something to resist, but as something that reveals God’s love and leads you into lasting transformation.

What if your suffering isn’t punishment—but preparation? In this episode, we unpack how God uses trials, suffering, and even sickness to shape us for His purposes. From a personal cancer journey to the story of Job, we explore the mystery of being “victims of God’s love”—called to comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have received.

Knowing God as “I AM” means discovering who He is in every circumstance of our lives. From Jehovah Jireh our Provider to Jehovah Sabaoth our Captain, God reveals His nature through how He shows up in our journey. This message invites us to move from secondhand knowledge to firsthand revelation—where comfort, provision, and protection aren’t just truths we’ve heard, but realities we’ve lived. When we truly know who He is, our praise is rooted in unshakable trust, no matter the season.

Fasting isn’t just a discipline—it’s a spiritual shift that moves us from unbelief to bold faith. In this message, we explore how fasting aligns us with the will of God, removes distraction, and increases our spiritual authority. Through powerful personal stories and scripture, we’re reminded that breakthrough often comes when we humble ourselves before the Lord. When we fast and pray, we become sensitive to the green lights of the Holy Spirit and partner with God’s purposes on the earth.
