Join Elliott Warren as he unpacks the critical lessons from the life of Joshua, revealing how God prepares us for the new thing He is doing today! Just as Joshua was positioned for a new season of advancing and possessing the land, God is calling us into a time of new assignments, alignments, and fresh anointing. This message stresses the importance of character and courage—the same strength that allowed Joshua to stand for truth when it was unpopular. Many today seek comfort over spiritual warfare, preferring "smooth" words to the call to step out in faith and face giants. Elliott Warren challenges us to be ready to lay down our lives for the cause of Christ, emphasizing that this is where true life is found.

Elliott Warren also highlights the necessity of both courageous leadership and unified support to enter God’s full blessing. We are called to be strong, to rise up in faith, and to uphold our spiritual leaders, recognizing that their strength is a covering that flows down to the entire body—a lesson powerfully illustrated by the story of Moses, Aaron, and Hur. Finally, Pastor Warren addresses the wilderness experience—the seemingly unjust trials that precede promotion. He encourages those who feel they've been dealt a bad hand to follow Joshua's example: reject bitterness, hold onto God's promises, and be prepared to step out when God gives the marching orders. Are you ready to be strong, courageous, and go forward into this new season?

The unexpected passing of Charlie Kirk has become a profound spiritual catalyst for a New Move of God and Church Revival across the globe.

In this powerful message, we analyze the spiritual significance of Charlie Kirk's life and death, revealing why he was truly an Ambassador for Christ [06:24] who refused to compromise Biblical Truth for political expediency.

This sermon highlights the remarkable account of Kirk's last message in Utah, where he was challenged to defend Christianity vs. Latter-day Saints (Mormonism). Hear how he brilliantly used archaeological evidence and the testimony of the 500 witnesses to defend the Gospel and the reality of Christ's empty tomb [04:33].

This is a timely call to pastors and Christians everywhere to stand for truth [13:06] on current issues and stop catering to "wokeism" and worldly philosophies. Just as Paul confronted the Apostle Peter's compromise (Galatians 2), God is calling the Church to stop being bewitched [44:31] and prepare for a Great Harvest by speaking with moral clarity.

Charlie Kirk's Death: Catalyst for a New Move of God (Part I) | Uncompromising Truth for a New Season

The shocking passing of Charlie Kirk was an event the devil meant for evil, but God is turning it into a powerful New Move of God [00:00]. This message views Charlie Kirk as a modern martyr [09:19] whose sacrifice has sown a pure seed [01:44] that is now multiplying rapidly across the globe.

We break down the spiritual significance of this pivotal moment, explaining why every new revival brings division [05:01] and forces the church to decide: are you going to embrace the uncomfortable truth of this new season, or continue to be a church built on "not offending anyone" [11:40]?

This is a direct call for Christians to move beyond just saying "Jesus is Lord" and start applying Biblical Truth to cultural issues (politics, transgenderism, immorality) [10:27]. Learn how to use the weapons of our warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4-5) to destroy the strongholds and lies that have infiltrated our culture and even the church [37:37].

Key Sermon Highlights (Great for SEO & Engagement!):

How a New Season and Move of God has already begun: [01:16]

Why Jesus said "beware when all men speak good of you" [03:22]

This powerful message reveals the hidden biblical key to prosperity and success: the necessity of having the Word of God in your mouth [03:39]. You cannot fully enter your Promised Land or overcome giants unless you learn to make bold faith declarations [21:45].

We break down Joshua 1:8 to reveal the three keys for successful living:

Meditate on the Word Day and Night: The Word must be actively living in your heart [04:02].

The Word Shall Not Depart From Your Mouth: You must speak the Word to overcome, because your faith confessions empower you to obey God's will [11:00].

Observe to Do All That Is Written: Only the combination of heart-level faith and verbal declaration gives you the power (dunamis) to do the Word of God [22:25].

The Battle is Spiritual (Not Natural):

Your Shield of Faith: Learn the practical way to pick up the Shield of Faith (Ephesians 6:16) by speaking words of faith to extinguish the "fiery darts" of worry, fear, and doubt that attack your mind [31:38].

The Power of Confession: We look at the power of "Let the weak say, 'I am strong'" (Joel) [24:28]. When a weak person declares their strength, they shift their focus from their inability to God's power [25:37].

Biblical Examples of Victory: See how this principle brought victory to:

The Hebrew Boys in the fiery furnace, who refused to bow the knee to the culture [43:40].

David, who overcame Goliath by declaring his adversary was merely an "uncircumcised Philistine" [50:34] and that "the battle is the Lord's" [56:27].

This is a call to rise above a natural mindset and passive Christianity, to use your voice as a weapon for Kingdom advancement [38:55].

This powerful sermon unlocks the biblical key to prosperity, success, and spiritual victory [04:51, 05:04]: the absolute necessity of having the Word of God in your mouth [05:30].

Drawing from Joshua 1:8, we explain the three-part process for success:

Meditate on the Word: The Word must be actively living in your heart—a commitment that is more than a casual exercise [06:18].

Let it Not Depart From Your Mouth: Faith declarations are a powerful weapon [12:26] that solidify your resolve and release a spiritual force [25:05], counteracting the negativity that speaks to you all day long [06:46].

Observe to Do: This combination of heart faith and bold confession is what empowers you to obey God and ultimately make your way prosperous [13:33, 14:14].

The Fireproof Confession: The message takes a deep dive into the story of the three Hebrew boys (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) to illustrate the power of an unwavering stand. Learn how they overcame by:

Commitment to the Death (Revelation 12:11): They were willing to yield up their bodies [55:09], declaring, "Our God is able to deliver us, but even if He doesn't..." [36:48, 38:59].

The Miracle: Their bold declaration and uncompromising trust caused King Nebuchadnezzar to see a fourth man in the fiery furnace [46:21], and the fire burned off only the bonds that held them [49:09].

Worldly Witness: Nebuchadnezzar was transformed, making a decree to bless the God of the Hebrew boys after witnessing their faith and willingness to suffer [53:48].

This is a crucial lesson for using your faith confession to defeat doubt, fear, and discouragement, leading to a life of unshakable victory [58:33].

This powerful continuation reveals the truth about your trials and how they are actively preparing you for your next promotion and new season in God [00:25, 03:20].

Drawing from the life of Joshua and Romans 5, we show that trials are not meant to destroy you, but to develop you:

Trials develop Endurance (Patience) [00:41].

Endurance develops Character [00:55].

Character develops Hope [00:55, 02:25].

The Key to Victory: To see your breakthrough, you must learn the critical lesson: Don't give up or yield to discouragement [05:04, 06:10]. Your responsibility is to not fear and to stand firm [30:21, 30:40], which is the only way to connect with God's power and see His salvation [31:24]. David was able to set a banquet of joy right in the middle of his enemies' valley by choosing to rejoice [13:49, 14:13]!

WARNING: The Warfare Changes! The message also gives a vital warning about the warfare of prosperity [07:56]:

When God blesses you, the nature of the battle changes [08:04].

Many fall away when times are good due to neglect and the subtle attack of pride [07:39, 11:18].

King Uzziah's life is a sober warning: he was greatly helped until he was strong [10:35], and then his pride led to his downfall.

The ultimate goal of building up your faith is to conquer giants and break strongholds in the earth for Kingdom expansion [47:04].

The Bridge to Your Miracle: Go From WEAKNESS to STRENGTH and End Discouragement. This powerful message reveals the essential lesson of the faith journey: learning to go from a place of weakness to strength [00:19, 08:31]. Your trials and challenges are not meant to destroy you, but to serve as preparation for promotion [00:00].

Drawing from the experiences of Joshua, David, and the lessons in Hebrews 11:34, we show that every believer must learn this core truth:

The Common Thread: Every person walking with God must learn to be made strong out of weakness [08:31].

The Bridge to Victory: David's transition from weeping over his stolen family to pursuing and recovering all was bridged by one key action: He encouraged himself in the Lord [35:44, 35:53].

The Call to Rise Up: When Joshua was completely defeated and crying out to God, God's only response was: "Get up!" [39:37].

Resist the Enemy of Your Destiny: This sermon exposes discouragement as a spiritual cancer [21:06] that will keep you from your breakthrough. Learn why:

Misery doesn't attract God's help [19:09].

God commands us to be strong and courageous [19:48].

The curse over your life is a mindset that expects the same negative outcome—and God's Word is bigger than your past [22:10].

Rise up, resist the devil, and take the abundant life and victory that God has already made available [22:54].

Why Your Biggest Trials Haven't Stopped: The Secret to Receiving Your Prophetic Harvest.

Your current struggles are not a sign of failure—they are a sign of preparation! This message reveals that you are in a new season where long-held promises are coming to pass, and a great harvest is at hand [03:50, 04:14].

Drawing from the life of Joshua and the words of Paul in Galatians, we expose the enemy's number one weapon against you in this season: Giving up [02:33, 02:41].

Your Biggest Challenge is Not the Trial, but Your Response:

Sowing and Reaping: You will reap the master harvest of what you've sown only if you don't give up [02:24].

The Lie of Weakness: Every believer, from Elijah to Joshua to David, is just as weak as you are, but their secret was learning to rise up and strengthen themselves in God, irrespective of their feelings [09:52, 10:45].

Despising the Blessing: Like the 10 spies, the enemy wants you to despise the promised land [14:01] and the incredible blessing waiting for you, so you stop fighting [15:00].

This sermon is a powerful call to receive the baton being passed from the last generation [06:13] and say, "I am more than an overcomer because of Christ in me" [10:14]. Don't be daunted by your enemies—rise up, trust God, and claim the victory!

Your Prophetic Harvest is REAL: Why Trials are Necessary for Promotion (Joshua & Sowing and Reaping).

This sermon reveals the profound truth that your trials are setting you up for promotion and a new season of fulfillment [00:00]. Drawing from the life of Joshua, who waited 40 years for his promise, we prove that God's plan for you is more real than any problem you face [02:07, 02:46].

The Secret of Sowing and Reaping in Trials:

The Key to the Harvest: You are reaping what you sowed when you held onto your faith in past difficulties [03:17]. Sowing to the spirit often happens when you ignore the trial and press into God in the midst of your pain [04:15].

Do Not Give Up: You will reap in due season if you do not give up [04:39, 05:50]. This means quickly rising up when you get knocked down, shortening your time in defeat and despair [06:05, 06:22].

Your Breakthrough is a Matter of Faith:

The Power of Testimony: The breakthroughs of others are meant to ignite your faith [01:03]. Joshua's example shows you can rise up out of your pain and realize God will do it [06:32, 08:48].

The Test of the Giants: God tested the leaders (the 12 spies) with giants to see how they would respond [40:31]. Your response to your giants and fears is the only thing that matters [41:37].

The Pattern of Victory: Joshua and Caleb were just as hit with fear as the ten faithless spies, but two of them responded differently [42:14, 42:37], and that decision made all the difference.

This is a powerful message to ignite your faith and refuse to let the devil's lies of discouragement keep you from your God-sized vision [29:16].
