Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a direct, “sobering” call to biblical doctrine, holiness, and spiritual identity, anchored primarily in 1 Corinthians 6 (especially vv. 9–20) and supported by Ephesians 1. The Apostle stresses that believers must know Scripture for themselves, encouraging even children to own a personal Bible as a “manual for life,” and warning against diluted or “comic” versions that mix non-biblical material into what is presented as Scripture. She frames this as a foundational issue of sound doctrine and accuracy. 

A central theme is eternal accountability: the preacher underscores that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s kingdom, insisting salvation is not a “magical prayer” after death and that each person decides their eternal direction while alive. She challenges cultural assumptions that a funeral service, religious ritual, or public prayer can “transition” someone from hell to heaven after they have died. Instead, she presses the urgency of repentance and righteous living now, especially for the young, who may assume they have “time” to change later. 

Moving through 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, she highlights specific sins the text names (sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, theft, drunkenness, etc.) and repeats the biblical warning “be not deceived”, meaning people must not fool themselves into thinking ongoing sin is compatible with inheriting the kingdom. She addresses modern sexual pressure on teenagers, condemns exploitation of minors by adults, and warns that immoral choices carry spiritual consequences even if they are normalized socially. 

The sermon then pivots to the hope-filled turning point of the passage: “such were some of you… but you are washed… sanctified… justified” (1 Cor. 6:11). She emphasizes that the gospel brings real transformation, and that a believer’s past can become a testimony—without returning to it. She rejects the idea of using grace as permission to continue in compromise, explicitly challenging the doctrine of “once saved, always saved” as incompatible with abiding faithfully in Christ. 

Another major focus is the body as God’s temple. The Apostle teaches that freedom in Christ is not freedom “to go into folly,” and that believers must stop treating the body as personal property to use however they wish. She argues from 1 Corinthians 6 that the believer’s body is a member of Christ and that joining oneself sexually to ungodliness pollutes the temple. Using practical, memorable examples (including how small disobedience can affect spiritual sensitivity and ministry), she calls the church to develop character integrity, to be the same person inside and outside church, because inconsistent living damages witness and pushes unbelievers away. 

She also reassures listeners that God can still use people with difficult pasts, referencing biblical examples such as Rahab and Paul, showing that deliverance and purpose are possible, but only if a person does not “go back” after being cleansed. The sermon closes by tying holiness to spiritual inheritance and calling through Ephesians 1: believers need wisdom and revelation to grasp “the hope of His calling” and “the riches of His inheritance in the saints,” and that inheritance is for the blood-washed, sanctified, and obedient. The final prayer asks that the congregation not “miss heaven,” that those struggling come into alignment, and that God rekindle passion, liberate His people, and strengthen them to overcome spiritual pressure.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff calls for believers to become anchored in the Word of God, insisting that worship alone, while vital, is not sufficient without consistent Scripture intake and obedience. The Apostle teaches that when believers neglect the Word, they drift into sin because the conscience is no longer being “awakened” daily to righteousness. The central exhortation is drawn from 1 Corinthians 15:58: believers must be steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord, with confidence that their labor is not in vain. 

A key emphasis is spiritual discipline and seriousness: the Christian life demands commitment regardless of job pressures, schedules, or personal responsibilities. The message challenges “convenient Christianity” and urges the church to stop functioning on spiritual appearance alone, warning that without biblical grounding, people can be easily misled by wrong doctrine or persuasive preaching. Being steadfast is framed as loyalty and firmness in the gospel, an inner resolve that refuses to compromise even when voices of authority speak contrary to Scripture. 

The sermon also stresses spiritual authenticity and holiness, teaching that power over darkness is connected to living a Word-formed life. The Apostle warns against believers who merely “mimic” church behavior instead of truly walking God’s path, arguing that obedience and holiness are what rout demonic opposition. She expands this into a broader spiritual warfare lens: evil is real, satanic influence is active in society, and believers must not be naïve or passive. Instead, they must be equipped with Scripture, a genuine prayer life, and a lifestyle that stays “under the blood.” 

Another recurring thread is God’s faithfulness in hardship. The Apostle shares personal testimony about a severe medical crisis years ago (including forced fasting and life-threatening complications) to show that even when circumstances look fatal, God can “set you up” for rescue and intervention. This testimony is used to strengthen listeners: difficult seasons are not proof God has failed, but an opportunity to remain unmovable, trust God’s plans, and let faith stay active rather than becoming passive. 

From there, the sermon encourages believers to work for God with expectancy, explaining that “abounding” means to flourish, prevail, increase, and flow in kingdom service. The Apostle teaches that God rewards faithful labor in ways beyond what people expect through favor, provision, and divinely arranged outcomes. She challenges the church to value God above career success and comfort, reminding listeners to remember God when blessings come and not to grow dull or ungrateful. 

The message widens into family and cultural urgency: the Apostle warns that the times are dangerous, violence, fear, spiritual deception, and attack against youth are increasing, so households must rebuild prayer discipline, especially among children. Believers are urged to stop treating God like an “on-call option” and instead seek Him as a necessity, echoing Deuteronomy 4:29 (seek God with all heart and soul). She also cautions against destructive relationships and spiritual “callings” that are not from God, urging discernment about who is influencing one’s life, even through dreams. 

In closing, the Apostle reinforces spiritual authority and perseverance using Luke 10:19 (authority over all the power of the enemy) and Luke 22:31–32 (Satan’s desire to sift believers, and Jesus’ intercession that faith will not fail). The congregation is charged not only to survive spiritual pressure but to come through refined and then strengthen others. The closing prayer declares believers as overcomers, asking for rescue, healing, peace, provision, encouragement, and an “atmosphere shift” for those under heavy burdens.

Rec. Date: 8th September, 2024 

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on “the persons at the feet of Jesus”, the crowds who deliberately moved toward Christ because His name carries power and His presence draws people for healing, transformation, and truth. The preacher emphasizes that background does not determine whether God will use you; rather, it is your decision, determination, and willingness to serve that positions you for God’s use. She frames love as the defining evidence of real Christianity, warning that spiritual gifts, good appearance, or church activity without love and visible fruit equals religion without transformation. She challenges listeners to examine what “comes out” when they are pressured or angered, arguing that believers must reflect their new Father (God) rather than the old life, and that even anger must be governed by holiness (“be angry but sin not”).

Using Matthew 15:29–39 (Jesus healing the lame, blind, mute, and feeding the multitude), she highlights how the crowds brought the broken directly to Jesus, even up a hillside, removing excuses and modeling persistence. She confronts modern inconsistency: people stay home from church for minor discomforts but show unwavering commitment to work or money, stressing that prioritizing God is essential and that what you sow is what you reap. She also stresses giving God one’s “best” (attention, reverence, preparation), applying it to both in-person worship and livestream participation.

A major theme is that Jesus not only healed but also had compassion and provided practical care, noting He tracked that the crowd had been with Him three days, teaching that God takes account of time spent in His presence. She calls for believers, especially those called to ministry, to seek God deeply so He can use them mightily, lamenting that the church can become “wealthy but weak” when focus shifts from love and power to material priorities. She urges gratitude (even before meals), obedience to divine instruction, and faith to place even “small” resources in God’s hands so He can multiply them, linking this to generosity, stewardship, and refusing jealousy/comparison.

She corrects spiritual extremes that shame people for using medical help (loans, surgeries, C-sections), arguing that God can provide in different ways and that wisdom matters, miracles and medical procedures are not mutually exclusive. The sermon concludes with a strong call to witness and evangelize, insisting people should be drawn to believers because Jesus is evident in their lives, not because they “bombard” others with religion. The closing prayer asks for healing, deliverance, restoration, peace, and divine intervention for physical illness and personal crises, encouraging listeners to “touch” God by faith as the woman with the issue of blood did, and to recommit to honoring God’s mercy and grace.

Rec. Date: 28th July, 2024

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff preaches based on Ephesians 1:15-23, this sermon emphasizes the need for believers to be spiritually enlightened, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and clothed in the full armor of God to effectively wage spiritual warfare in these last days.

• When Adam disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden, he surrendered his God-given dominion
• Satan, though fallen, still infiltrates God’s spaces, including churches
• Taking the name of Jesus automatically puts you on the battlefield, it’s instant, like automatic doors opening
• Satan doesn’t give new believers a grace period; the battle begins immediately
• However, God has given us power over ALL the powers of the enemy

• You cannot pick and choose which pieces to wear, it comes as a complete package
• You can’t wear the gospel boots but refuse the helmet of salvation
• Every believer called by Jesus is directed into warfare
• You must be equipped with:

• The Word became flesh and came to Earth to intervene in human affairs
• The Bible is your manual: “Read, pray, and obey”
• The Word of God is full of power and authority
• “We can take up any deadly thing and it shall not hurt us” when God’s Word is at work in our lives
• You must be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer

• Paul prayed for the Ephesians to receive:
• Apostle Conliff prayed the same blessing over the congregation:

• Your heart has eyes, it’s the core of your being
• Just as your physical heart keeps you alive, your spiritual heart must be guarded
• “Guard your heart, for out of it flows the issues of life”
• Don’t hide unforgiveness in your core being
• Don’t let evil come out of that center
• Be flooded with light by the Holy Spirit

• Some people claim Holy Spirit and tongues were only for the early disciples, this is false
• Jesus said, “Wait until the power comes” (Acts 1:8)
• Without Holy Ghost power, you cannot be effective, you’ll just be traditional and ritualistic
• The power makes the difference between genuine ministry and empty religion
• Holy Spirit leads and guides us into all truth

• Too many believers are fake, acting one way in church, another way at work
• “We act our role in church, but when we go to our workplace, we are like beasts”
• Where did Jesus go between Sunday and Monday?
• You cannot serve God on Sunday and leave your Savior out on Monday
• Don’t be a “Hollywood/Bollywood” Christian, acting out scenes instead of living authentically
• Living for God takes dedication; it’s not always about feeling excited

• Warning about communicating with the dead: If your deceased relatives appear in dreams, that’s not them, it’s Satan
• Real-life testimony: A 17-year-old girl who sold herself to the devil through incantations, tattoos, and piercings refused deliverance and died shortly after
• Your dreams should be sanctified, be alert even when sleeping

• God doesn’t make errors, He deliberately placed you in your specific family
• Even if your family has alcoholics, bandits, or dysfunction, God knew
• He placed you there to be the light in the darkness
• Don’t fight your family background; God is using you as a beacon
• Whether born to married or unmarried parents, you didn’t choose, God ordained it

• Manage your finances properly, don’t mismanage what God gives you
• If your vessel has holes, God will stop pouring into it
• Don’t build on government land and expect prayer to protect illegal actions
• Don’t hoodwink systems (like social welfare) be true Christians
• If you’re young and strong, don’t pretend to have ailments to collect benefits
• “Don’t make your God look bad”

“There is no better place to be than serving God. Know the Father through the Son, Jesus, is the only way. We have a hope not only in this life, which is why we live for God with clean hands and a pure heart.”

Rec. Date: 4th August, 2024

Guest Minister, Pastor Nirmal Seemungal, delivers a sermon emphasizing the critical importance of developing a deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, especially in these end times as signs point to His imminent return.

• We are living in the last days with clear prophetic signs all around us
• Current events, especially in Israel, confirm we’re in a significant prophetic period
• The coming of Jesus is closer than ever before, every day brings us nearer to His return
• This urgency requires believers to know Christ in a greater way than ever before

• Seeking God should no longer be just a responsibility or chore
• When you truly build relationship with Jesus, you will:

• Zacchaeus fought through obstacles to see Jesus, he climbed a tree despite being short
• Jesus noticed him, called him by name, and invited Himself to Zacchaeus’s house
• Key lesson: Jesus rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6)
• When we seek Jesus, He will find us and transform us
• Zacchaeus was changed by Jesus’s presence, offering to give half his goods to the poor and restore fourfold what he’d taken

• The story of the seven sons of Sceva (Acts 19:14-17) who tried to cast out demons using Jesus’s name without knowing Him
• The demon said: “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
• Power doesn’t travel in words alone, the name represents relationship
• You must personally know Jesus, not just know about Him

• Paul had every reason for confidence in the flesh:
• Yet Paul counted it all as loss for the excellence of knowing Jesus Christ
• Paul endured tremendous suffering: beatings, shipwrecks, hunger, persecution, imprisonment
• His humility kept him close to God, he gloried in his weaknesses so Christ’s power could rest on him

• Sacrifice convenience: Shut off your phone, leave Facebook, get into God’s Word
• Fast and pray: Push away meals when necessary to seek God’s face
• Lose sleep if needed: Spend time in God’s presence
• Go the extra mile: Take drastic measures to get to Jesus
• Approach with humility: Like the publican beating his chest saying “God be merciful to me, a sinner”, not like the proud Pharisee

• Building relationship with Jesus requires counting the cost
• Be prepared for persecution, rejection, and suffering
• Nothing should be more important than knowing Jesus, not possessions, reputation, or comfort
• Paul’s resume of suffering (2 Corinthians 11:24-31) reminds us that deep relationship may require sacrifice

• Don’t approach God like a fast-food cashier, making requests and waiting
• Destroy confidence in the flesh, “no good thing dwells in the flesh”
• Don’t brag about spiritual experiences; true closeness to God produces humility
• Many Christians only talk to God when they’re in crisis, God wants continual fellowship

• When you truly know Jesus, all hell trembles at His name spoken through you
• You become a person others can pattern their lives after
• Peace comes even in facing death, like Paul saying “I am ready to be offered”
• God rewards those who diligently seek Him
• Your purpose becomes continual fellowship with God in eternity

• Are you ready to answer when Jesus calls your name?
• Begin walking in the footsteps of Jesus Christ
• Learn to seek God for yourself
• Keep troubling the throne until the answer comes
• Be the person who lives the Bible and proves we can live like Jesus lived

Final Exhortation: Nothing is worth losing your relationship with Jesus. Build your relationship with Him daily, step by step, line upon line, until you experience the fullness of knowing Christ, a relationship exceeded only by standing before God in heaven.

“The only thing that matters is serving Jesus with your whole heart, whole mind—not just with words.”

Rec. Date: 18th July, 2024

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff focuses on Paul and uses Acts 26 to teach that believers must learn to cope in valleys, not only celebrate mountaintops. The Apostle stresses that many struggles (depression, oppression, even spiritual bondage) are fueled by giving the enemy “space in their heads,” so the solution is to be filled with the Holy Ghost and the living Word and to guard the mind and heart. She highlights that Paul’s effectiveness came from deep conviction, discipline, and unwavering commitment to Jesus, he lived the message, defended the gospel boldly, and made impact everywhere he went. The sermon repeatedly calls believers to build real relationship with God, practice prayer and fasting, refuse lukewarm living, separate from worldly influences that corrupt the mind, and become consistent witnesses who stand on scripture as the highest authority. 

The message opens by noting that reality includes “the valley,” and that coping matters. Many believers suffer unnecessarily because the enemy is given mental space; once the mind is compromised, it can open doors to oppression and deeper bondage. The antidote is being filled with the Spirit and the Word. 

A recurring thread is mental discipline: protect your headspace, protect your heart, and refuse spiritual “footholds.” If you want to win battles, “my mind belongs to Jesus,” and you must stay steadfast rather than double-minded/lukewarm. 

The Apostle challenges “name-only” Christianity: many people say “Jesus” but don’t influence their environment. Paul’s preaching made impact so strongly that he was dragged before rulers and imprisoned, proof that real gospel power disrupts darkness. 

The sermon emphasizes that the Word cannot remain only “on the bookshelf.” It must become reality in the heart. When the Word is alive in you, you can declare and see change. She also warns against mixing scripture with rituals/other systems, God’s Word “stands alone.” 

From Acts 26, Paul is presented as a model: he speaks confidently before King Agrippa, explaining his history, his transformation, and his hope in the Messiah and resurrection. The Apostle notes that truth can be challenged, but believers must still continue in faith. 

A strong correction is given: No minister’s opinion overrides scripture. If the gospel is diluted to accommodate worldly lifestyles, people may feel comfortable but will miss God’s standards and ultimately miss eternity. 

The sermon explicitly defines commitment and applies it to discipleship: when you took Jesus’ name, you affirmed you will stand with His kingdom “no matter what.” God can “work with” committed people because they are ready for action, like Paul. 

A repeated call is to spiritual discipline, especially fasting. Paul’s post‑conversion fast is used as an example, and the church is urged to maintain breakthroughs after receiving deliverance. 

The sermon warns that music carries a spirit and can reshape thought patterns; if it’s not a Holy Ghost influence, it can pull the mind into wrong meditation and vulnerability. The broader point is separation, drop what hinders spiritual climbing. 

The Apostle insists that once God changes your life, you don’t return to old patterns (“dog returning to its vomit” imagery). Serving God takes discipline and deliberate choices, including honoring worship gatherings and staying attentive to the Word. 

• Acts 26 (Paul permitted to speak; Paul’s defense; hope of the Messiah/resurrection) 
• Referenced themes include Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 118 (“better to trust in the Lord than confidence in man”), guarding the heart, resisting the devil, and renewal of the mind, used to support the call to separation, trust, and discipline.

This Thursday Night Deliverance sermon by Apostle Allison Smith Conliff teaches that victory is the believer’s portion, even when there are real plots, pressures, and storms. Using Paul’s journey in Acts 27, the apostle shows how Paul, though a prisoner, carried faith, courage, and leadership in crisis: he repeatedly told others to “be of good cheer” because God had already spoken preservation over their lives. The message emphasizes that believers are not called to live in fear of premature death or disaster; instead, they must live the Word, speak the Word, fast and pray, and trust God’s “fear not” instruction as a prophetic covering in uncertain seasons. The sermon concludes by connecting the shipwreck narrative to Paul’s later encounter on Melita, where a viper latched onto his hand, as a picture of the enemy trying to attach itself after you survive a storm; the instruction is clear: shake it off quickly and keep your witness strong. 

The Apostle notes that plots can be real (as in Paul’s case, false accusations and attempts to kill him), but stresses that if it is not your time/season, you will not be “recalled” early. Believers are called to serve God in fullness, with obedience and joy as strength. 

A major distinction is made: Satan is not intimidated by a believer who merely “calls Jesus,” but by the believer who lives for Jesus and speaks Jesus. The sermon stresses that power is experienced through a lifestyle aligned with God. 

Because God is always watching and “working out things” for victory, the Apostle urges consistent declaration: speak the Word over your home, workplace, and even while driving, because God’s Word is active and provides spiritual covering. 

You cannot testify without being tested: the sermon plainly states that if you want testimony, you must endure tests and pass them. This framing prepares believers to interpret hardship as part of spiritual development rather than abandonment. 

From Acts 27:22, Paul exhorts the passengers to be of good cheer: the ship would be damaged, but no life would be lost. The sermon highlights God’s ability to preserve in distress and danger and calls believers to remember past deliverances as evidence God can do it again. 

The Apostle stresses that “fear not” is not careless bravado; it is confidence rooted in God. She contrasts Godly fearlessness with people who are not afraid because they trust themselves or choose darkness rather than light. 

The sermon uses a strong metaphor: the narrow road has God-rails (protection and boundaries), while the broad road has none. Like an athlete, crossing lanes brings disqualification, so believers must remain disciplined, protected, and Spirit-led. 

She references the ministry’s fasting, calling it a sacrifice that creates deeper connection and spiritual authority (“some things only go out by prayer and fasting”), and points to increased miracles and testimonies in the ministry as evidence. 

A key leadership takeaway from Paul: in the middle of danger, he paused to give thanks before eating and encouraged others. The Apostle teaches that your personal storm doesn’t disqualify you from strengthening others, your witness must stay alive. 

After the shipwreck, a viper latched onto Paul’s hand; Paul shook it off immediately. The sermon uses this as a deliverance-minded warning: if you don’t shake the enemy off quickly, what starts small can spread and cripple. The instruction is to refuse attachment and remain steady in God. 

The teaching is anchored in Acts 27 (Paul’s preservation word, “be of good cheer,” angelic reassurance “fear not,” and the shipwreck sequence), and references the follow-on Melita/viper event as a spiritual lesson. The close includes exhortations like “be sober, be vigilant” and not being ignorant of the devil’s devices. 

Rec. Date: 11th July, 2024

In this Thursday Night Deliverance sermon, Apostle Dr. Martin Ugorji teaches that God’s design for believers is not merely the label “Christian,” but identity and function as a king and priest, a person authorized to represent heaven on earth through priesthood. He explains that priesthood is the God-ordained “technology” for interacting with the spiritual realm: God does not transact on the earth without an altar, and the believer must understand how to approach God correctly, through the altar that is established by the sacrifice of Jesus (the “blood” reality). He contrasts Godly priesthood with ungodly altar systems, warning that engaging wrong altars brings spiritual contamination even if nothing outward changes. The sermon ends with a strong activation: believers should approach God consciously “as a priest,” build godly altars in their lives (home/business), and engage priesthood in spiritual battles because priesthood wins victories before swords ever do. 

Apostle Dr. Ugorji emphasizes identity: “God does not see you as a Christian… God sees you as a priest and as a king,” grounding it in Exodus 19:6 (“a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”). The implication is that your primary spiritual role comes before your profession (doctor, lawyer, accountant, etc.)

From Exodus 20:22–24, he highlights that when God gives a position (priest), He establishes an office (altar): “You shall make for me an altar… and you shall sacrifice… and I will bless you.” Blessing and divine visitation are connected to altar order. 

He describes “architecture of the universe” (spirit realm and earth realm) and teaches that spiritual interaction requires an altar as a crossing point, whether with God or with dark systems. The warning: if you must cross, “make sure it’s a godly altar.” 

He illustrates the crossing as requiring “blood” (citing the principle “without shedding of blood there is no remission”), teaching that altar access is not casual, there must be a legitimate spiritual basis for approach. 

A major deliverance warning: visiting occult/obeah practices involves altars; a person can leave unchanged externally but spiritually carry something (“your skin color may not change… but you’re living with something”). This is framed as why believers must avoid ungodly spiritual systems. 

He contrasts Old Testament patterns with New Testament mandate: believers are to “annex territories” and reclaim from Satan, meaning priesthood is active, governmental, and expansion-minded. 

He stresses that in Christ, “no chicken should die again,” warning strongly against any instruction to bring animals as sacrifices. New Testament priesthood offers spiritual sacrifices through Jesus. 

He notes that many unbelievers maintain altars/ritual points (examples given from everyday business settings), while Christians may neglect establishing consistent worship/prayer “altar life” in their spaces. The call is to restore spiritual sensitivity and consistency. 

He anchors the teaching in 1 Peter 2:5 (believers as “holy priesthood” offering “spiritual sacrifices”) and 1 Peter 2:9 (“a chosen generation… a royal priesthood… proclaim His praises”). He connects deliverance ministry directly to “royal priesthood in action.” 

He points out that in Joshua 6, priests are emphasized heavily in the Jericho victory (priests/ark/trumpet), and that David defeated Goliath first “with his mouth” (priestly declaration) before using the sword, teaching: engage priesthood first in warfare. 

• “Approach God as a priest… not as a doctor/lawyer/accountant.” 
• “Anywhere you go and they say bring chicken—run for your life.” 
• “The next time you’re in a battle, engage your priesthood.” 

• Exodus 19:3–6 — “kingdom of priests” identity 
• Exodus 20:22–24 — altar, sacrifice, and blessing 
• 1 Peter 2:5, 9 — holy priesthood / royal priesthood 
• Joshua 6 (illustration) — priests and Jericho victory 

Rec. Date: 11th July, 2024

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff teaches on the saving grace of God from Ephesians 2 (with support from Ephesians 4 and multiple related scriptures). The core message is that salvation is not earned by human effort or “good works,” but comes through God’s unmerited favor (grace), a complete “salvation package” provided through Jesus Christ. Because it is freely given yet costly to God, believers are urged not to abuse mercy, not to live lukewarm or partially surrendered, and to develop a disciplined, prayerful, obedient lifestyle that reflects Christ in everyday choices. The sermon also highlights forgiveness, truthfulness, and a teachable spirit as non‑negotiables for spiritual effectiveness and breakthrough. 

A major emphasis is that we are saved by grace, not by personal righteousness, performance, or “effort.” The Apostle stresses that people cannot take credit for salvation; it is God’s idea and God’s work, received by faith in Jesus. 

Using the Message Bible wording, the sermon warns that when people let the world (which “doesn’t know the first thing about living”) define how they live, they breathe in unbelief and begin to produce disobedience. This becomes a call to guard what influences you and to recognize Satan’s strategy to steal/kill/destroy. 

Salvation is described as a complete package that includes more than forgiveness, help, healing, direction, and deliverance are “in the package.” But the apostle insists Christianity is not a label or religion; it is relationship and communication with God (prayer, obedience, living in His presence). 

The sermon confronts the attitude “I’m tired of this Christian thing,” explaining that many become frustrated because they are serving God lukewarm/partially. The call is for a committed lifestyle that stands righteous even when pressured, without needing others to consult first. 

A practical section focuses on choices: when something is not aligned with God, you don’t need long explanations, you need the courage to shut it down. Friendship, convenience, or emotion must not be placed above obedience and peace with God. 

Using Ananias and Sapphira as a warning, the Apostle teaches that God’s people must fear God enough to walk in truth. She emphasizes that “white lie/gray lie/black lie” categories don’t change the reality, a lie is a lie, and it requires repentance and the blood of Jesus. 

A strong deliverance-related point: unforgiveness makes believers ineffective and blocks prayer. The sermon argues that holding hurts stops your life and your blessing, and that healing is needed because a “broken vessel cannot hold” what God wants to pour in. 

The Apostle warns that pride, self-reliance, or being “un-teachable” prevents change and stalls progress. Even when someone has failed, the path forward is repentance, receiving mercy, healing, and moving again, not condemnation. 

While works don’t save, the sermon stresses believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ for good works that God prepared beforehand. In other words: salvation changes identity, and identity produces visible fruit (speech, conduct, integrity, self-control). 

A clear correction is made against shallow spiritual routines: prayer is framed as daily life, not once-a-week religion. The church’s ability to see consistent miracles is tied to consistent prayer and disciplined service. 

• Ephesians 2 (primary teaching on grace, salvation, faith, workmanship) 
• Romans 6:23 (wages of sin vs. gift of God) 
• John 10:10 theme (Satan’s agenda: steal/kill/destroy) 
• “Pray without ceasing” emphasis

Receive salvation as God’s gift (not your achievement), guard your influences, stop lukewarm living, develop a disciplined prayer life, walk in truth, forgive quickly, stay teachable, and live as Christ’s representative because you are God’s workmanship created for good works. 

Rec. Date: 14th July, 2024

This Thursday Night Deliverance sermon by Apostle Allison Smith Conliff is built around Isaiah 55, God’s open invitation to the thirsty to “come to the waters,” receive freely, and find true satisfaction in Him rather than in temporary substitutes. The message stresses that salvation and spiritual renewal are not “quick fixes”; the believer must go through God’s process, willingly cooperate with Him, and apply the Word consistently. The Apostle connects real-life events (storms/disasters, personal and community pressures, schooling/exams, and practical wisdom in life decisions) to show that God wants His people spiritually fed, emotionally healed, and wisely established, so they can endure trouble and live with joy, stability, and discernment. 

The sermon opens Isaiah 55 as a salvation and restoration call: “everyone who thirsts” is invited, even those with “no money,” because what God gives is a gift. The emphasis is that heaven is offering something real, but people must choose to respond (God will not force anyone). 

A central theme is that in life people want instant solutions, but in the Kingdom you must go through the process. Whether preacher or congregation, you must be a “willing participant” (free will is real, and many choose darkness over light). 

The Apostle warns against comparing yourself to others, wanting someone’s house/car/blessing without wanting their trials, pressures, tears, and battles. She reinforces: there is always a story behind the glory, and God trains people through pressure. 

Using students/exams as a relatable example, the sermon highlights that results come when you apply yourself. The spiritual parallel: you cannot “show up” and expect transformation without obedience, discipline, and engagement with God’s Word. 

From Isaiah 55’s “eat what is good” and the quote “Your words were found, and I ate them… your words became a joy,” the sermon teaches that the Word is not optional, it is how the soul becomes healthy, delighted, and spiritually alive. Faith requires seeking, listening, and feeding consistently (“faith cometh by hearing”). 

A striking illustration: the church is an emergency room, but not every patient responds. The warning is sobering, people can sit under ministry and remain unchanged because they’ve “already made up their mind.” The call is: keep your heart responsive to God. 

The sermon urges believers to carry joy (since “Jesus is joy”) and to be mindful that people may be silently burdened. A smile, encouragement, or a simple “I love you” can bring healing to a wounded heart for an entire week. 

The message returns to God’s nature: He keeps covenant, preserves what He gives, and His perspective is far beyond ours, “My thoughts are not your thoughts… my ways higher than your ways” (Isaiah 55:8–9). Therefore believers must learn discernment by the Spirit, not merely intellect. 

The Apostle strongly discourages deception and shortcut mentality (illustrations include misrepresentation and real-world consequences). She also challenges “spiritual foolishness” (e.g., throwing away medication because someone said so), urging believers to use wisdom, verify with the Word, and listen to God, not hype. 

The close includes a readiness principle: when you come to God, give Him your all, so that in trouble you have already built spiritual reserves (“banked something with the King”).
