Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on the vital necessity of spiritual maturity through the study of the Bible. She utilizes 1st Corinthians 3 to warn the congregation against carnality, citing behaviors like envy, strife, and division as evidence of an underdeveloped faith. By comparing the Word of God to milk for infants and solid meat for the mature, the message encourages believers to move beyond a superficial relationship with religion. The message emphasizes that faith is developed through hearing and internalizing scripture, which serves as essential preparation for life’s inevitable challenges. Ultimately, this sermon calls for a disciplined prayer life and a shift from worldly logic to a mindset anchored in divine authority.

Key Points:

Spiritual maturity is achieved through consistent study of the Word and prevents carnal behavior by building a strong foundation, developing spiritual muscles, and transforming internal motivations from the flesh to the spirit.

Building Faith and Directing Action: Consistent engagement with the Word is essential because "faith cometh by hearing" and is strengthened and developed through the Word of God. What a person hears determines how they react and function; therefore, hearing the Word prompts a person to take specific actions in how they live their life. By studying, a believer gains the knowledge necessary to avoid "perishing" or becoming a victim of the devil.

Preparation and Internalization: The Apostle emphasize that studying allows the Word to transition from the written page into the heart of man. This acts as a form of preparation, similar to filling water tanks before a shortage; if the Word is not "stored up" through consistent study, a person will have nothing to draw from during challenges or when God is silent. This internal "logos" (written word) provides the light and life necessary to handle the "Rhema" (spoken word) and navigate reality without falling into "fables" or "Hollywood" fantasies.

Growth from Immaturity to Spiritual Strength: Carnal behavior is often characterized as "baby behavior" or immaturity, marked by envy, strife, and divisions. Spiritual maturity prevents these behaviors through the following:

• Moving from "Milk" to "Meat": Consistent study allows a believer to move past "milk" (basic teachings) to "strong meat" (deeper truths), which provides the nutrition needed to build "spiritual muscles".
• Avoiding Spiritual Stagnation: Without growth through the Word, a believer remains a "midget" or "underdeveloped," unable to handle correction or spiritual conflict.
• Establishing a Foundation: Studying helps a person build their life on the foundation of Christ rather than the "quick sand" of the flesh.

Combatting the Carnal Nature The carnal nature is described as being at "enmity against God" and prone to worldly distractions like parties, alcohol, and secular influences that do not glorify Him. Spiritual maturity prevents these behaviors by:

• Empowering the Spirit over the Flesh: By being "anchored" in the Word, believers can crucify the flesh and resist the urge to react with curses, strife, or "back analyst" (backbiting) behaviors.
• Providing Wisdom over Folly: Maturity gives a believer the wisdom to recognize environments that may feed carnal desires, helping them to walk circumspectly and abandon carnal ways of living.
• Enabling Spiritual Warfare: A mature person who has studied the Word can rebuke demons and stand strong during "whirlwind" experiences, whereas a carnal person lacks the power to confront spiritual darkness.

When the Word is esteemed more than "necessary food" and digested into the soul, it brings joy and builds a character that is loyal to God's virtues rather than the lusts of the flesh.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on the biblical teachings of 2nd Timothy, emphasizing the necessity of divine calling over human ambition in ministry. She warns against treating the church as a commercial business, urging congregants to focus on Kingdom business and spiritual legacy rather than earthly riches. Highlighting the relationship between Paul and Timothy, the message encourages believers to persevere through hardships and find resilience in worship during times of trial. Listeners are instructed to stir up their spiritual gifts and reject fear in favor of a sound mind and authentic faith. Ultimately, the message calls for a sincere commitment to Christ, stressing that true salvation and holiness are the only treasures that endure beyond death.

Key Points:

The Apostle distinguishes between earthly business and spiritual kingdom business by contrasting their source of authority, their ultimate value, and their underlying motivations.

She notes that while people often turn God’s house into a "physical natural business", similar to the money changers Jesus overthrew, kingdom business is run differently because God is the head of His kingdom. Unlike ordinary business, where individuals might "send themselves" into positions like the pastorate or apostleship, spiritual effectiveness in kingdom business only comes when one is called by the will of God. In this spiritual economy, individuals are not independent operators but are called to be "partners" with God.

A primary distinction made in the sources is the transience of earthly success versus the eternal nature of spiritual success.

• Earthly Success: Natural achievements such as houses, land, degrees, and certificates are described as being "just for this life". The Apostle emphasizes that natural wealth, such as money in a bank or a check placed in a coffin, has no value in heaven because the "streets are gold".
• Kingdom Business: Success in the kingdom is measured by one's relationship with Christ and what was done with "His son". The Apostle warns that one can accomplish everything on earth, but without acknowledging Jesus as Lord, they will have "nothing to collect" in the afterlife.

Apostle Allison highlights a difference in what is considered "profitable":

• Natural Motivation: In the natural world, particularly in leadership or business, the focus is often on the bottom line. The Apostle mentions that when men are called from their businesses, they often want to know, "What is the profit?" or "What is in it for us?".
• Kingdom Motivation: Kingdom business requires a "holy calling" that is not based on human works or personal gain but on God’s purpose and grace. Instead of seeking immediate natural profit, those in kingdom business are encouraged to "fan the flames" of spiritual gifts, such as preaching or ministering, to refresh others and serve God. The reward for this "business" is not found in natural currency but in the "promise of life which is in Christ Jesus" and the blessings in the life to come.

The Apostle reminds the audience that while earthly business might be conducted without divine oversight, every action in kingdom business must be "approved by heaven". There is a spiritual accountability where individuals will eventually "give an account" for how they used what God gave them, rather than how much natural wealth they accumulated.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff emphasizes the necessity of fulfilling one's divine purpose and remaining committed to spiritual assignments despite emotional or physical obstacles. The Apostle uses the biblical account of Peter’s confession of Christ to illustrate that while the church is built on the revelation of Jesus, even faithful believers can be swayed by human emotions and worldly perspectives. To counter these distractions, congregants are urged to prioritize physical attendance at service and engage in consistent scripture study to move beyond mere head knowledge. By comparing a believer to a water tank, the message highlights the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit to avoid spiritual depletion and to serve as a resource for others. Ultimately, the message asserts that the authority of the church is absolute, granting believers the power to overcome demonic influence through the blood of Jesus and the active use of spiritual keys.

Key Points:

The sermon describes the church’s authority over spiritual adversity as a divinely granted power that is absolute, foundational, and activated through specific spiritual disciplines.

The church possesses authority in the following ways:

The sermon emphasizes that the church was "born into power" and possesses a specific mandate where the "gates of hell shall not prevail" against it. This authority is described as:

• Superiority over the enemy: The church does not merely resist the gates of hell; it has been given "power over the gates of hell" and the ability to put the enemy to flight.
• Comprehensive protection: This authority extends to various forms of adversity, including challenges related to education, health, and finances.
• Spiritual "Dynamite": The sermon describes this authority using terms like "dunamis power" (dynamite power) and "exousia power" (delegated authority) in the Holy Ghost.

The Apostle highlights the "keys of the kingdom of heaven" as a primary tool for exercising authority over spiritual darkness.

• Heavenly Backing: When a believer uses prayer to "bind the powers of darkness," the sermon asserts that they have "100% support from heaven".
• Reclaiming what is lost: Authority is used to "loose" what the enemy has tied up, allowing believers to reclaim what rightfully belongs to them.

The church’s authority is amplified through unity and harmony. The sermon references a spiritual principle where "one shall... chase a thousand" but "two shall chase 10,000". By working in unison, the church is described as a "powerhouse" capable of chasing "millions" in the name of Jesus.

This authority does not stem from human traits such as looks, shape, or personality.

• The Finished Work: Authority is rooted solely in "the blood and the finished work on the cross" and being built upon the Word of God.
• The "Rock" of Revelation: The church's authority is built on the revelation of Jesus Christ as the "solid rock," rather than on the unstable emotions or character of human leadership.

To effectively execute this authority, the sermon notes that a believer must be a "Word Christian". Authority is weakened if there is an imbalance; "spirit without word is wild," while "word without spirit is dry". True authority is exercised when the Holy Spirit makes the Word of God "come alive" in the heart of the believer, enabling them to "disable the kingdom of darkness".

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff explores the divine intentionality behind creation as described in the book of Genesis. The Apostle emphasizes that humanity was designed with a specific purpose and granted dominion over the earth, a position that was compromised by poor choices but restored through the grace of Jesus Christ. By highlighting the plurality of God and the spiritual nature of mankind, the message encourages listeners to seek a deep, authentic relationship with their Creator. The message warns against misrepresenting God through a lack of knowledge or spiritual laziness, urging believers to study the scriptures to understand their true identity. Ultimately, it serves as a call to exercise spiritual authority and embrace the redemption found in the blood of Jesus, which succeeds where physical efforts fail.

Key Points:

The Apostle defines God’s original intentionality for humanity as a deliberate plan where man was His "big project"created specifically to bring Him honor and glory. This intentionality is reflected in several key areas of purpose and authority:

• Created for Purpose: God did not create man by accident; everything created was for a specific purpose and was part of God's "big idea".
• Enjoyment of Creation: God intentionally prepared the earth and all its "nicities" before placing man there to enjoy them. The Garden of Eden was designed for man to be comfortable, to eat, to relax, and to enjoy beautiful days.
• Divine Relationship: God’s intent was to give humans "free space" on earth while coming down daily to commune with them. Like a good parent, God put everything in place for the "best of the best" upbringing for His sons and daughters.

• The Mandate to Rule: A primary aspect of God’s intentionality was that man would rule and reign on the earth. The Apostle defines dominion as the mandate to rule, take charge, get control, and have power over creation.
• Scope of Authority: This authority was comprehensive, giving man autonomy over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, cattle, and every creeping thing upon the earth. God essentially entrusted the care of His entire creation into the hands of mankind.
• Creative Power of Speech: Because man is created in the image of God, who is a spirit, man is also a spirit being. Consequently, man was given God’s same creative ability to function and speak. The Apostle notes that just as God spoke faith-filled words to create, humans have the power to speak into the atmosphere to affect their surroundings.

Apostle Allison notes that while God provided an "exclusive inclusive setup" where man had everything needed, this original destiny and these rights were given away to the enemy by choice. However, through the "finished work on the cross" and the dispensation of grace, the speaker argues that humanity can regain the relationship, power, and dominion that was lost, allowing believers to again take control of their space and life.

Intercessor, Minister Michael Orlé, preaches on the biblical narrative of King Hezekiah to illustrate the importance of maintaining humility and gratitude toward God. The Minister recounts how Hezekiah was miraculously healed after a terminal diagnosis but warns that his heart later became filled with pride due to his immense wealth and fame. Through this example, the congregation is urged to acknowledge God as the source of all blessings and to remain steadfast in faith even during times of prosperity. The message emphasizes that sincere repentance and a perfect heart can turn away divine wrath and lead to restoration. Ultimately, it serves as an exhortation for believers to worship boldly, stay rooted in the scriptures, and never forget the Redeemer who rescues them from affliction.

Key Points:

The story of King Hezekiah serves as a cautionary tale about how pride can manifest after experiencing profound divine intervention and material success. Hezekiah was a mighty king who initially did what was right in the sight of God. However, his spiritual trajectory shifted once he began to receive significant wealth and fame.

The dangers of pride in Hezekiah’s story are illustrated through several key themes:

Hezekiah experienced a miraculous recovery after being "sick unto death," a situation where the prophet Isaiah originally told him to set his house in order because he would not survive. After crying out to God and being granted an additional 15 years of life, Hezekiah received "exceedingly much riches" and honor. The Minister highlights the danger that once a person is "pulled out of the bed of affliction" or granted wealth, they may forget their redeemer and the source of their strength. In Hezekiah’s case, he "remembered not again according to the benefit done unto him," because his heart was lifted.

A significant insight provided by the Minister is that the pride of a leader has far-reaching consequences. Because Hezekiah’s heart was lifted up, wrath came not only upon him but also upon Judah and Jerusalem. This illustrates that the danger of pride following a blessing is not merely a personal spiritual failing but can bring judgment upon an entire household or community. Those in positions of authority must be especially careful to "acknowledge him in all thy ways" to avoid leading those under their care into trouble.

The Minister defines the danger of pride as the heart becoming "lifted" to the point where the blessing itself becomes a "God" rather than the One who gave the blessing. To counteract this, the story emphasizes the necessity of "alignment" and a "contrite heart". Hezekiah eventually recognized his error and humbled himself for the pride of his heart. Because of this humility, the Lord restrained His hand, and the threatened wrath did not fall during Hezekiah’s lifetime.

Minister Michael uses Hezekiah’s life to warn contemporary believers that the enemy often attacks through the distraction of blessings. They note that many people receive blessings, such as a new car or healing, and then disappear from their spiritual walk. The story of Hezekiah teaches that:

• Wealth and health should not lead to forgetting God, but rather to increased worship.
• One must never feel "too proud" to return to the "foot of the cross" or to testify about past sins and God's mercy.
• Humbleness is the key to restoration; even after pride has taken root, God can restore a person "100-fold" if they humble themselves as Hezekiah did.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on the biblical Book of Malachi to encourage believers to maintain a sincere, holy relationship with God. The Apostle warns against taking divine grace for granted and highlights the importance of spiritual preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. Ethical living is a major theme, with specific instructions to avoid unfaithful behavior, dishonest business practices, and the celebration of Halloween. The message further emphasizes the necessity of supporting the church through joyful giving and maintaining the beauty of God's house. Ultimately, it serves as a call for the congregation to exercise spiritual discernment and steadfast faith amidst a modern world filled with moral and physical dangers.

Key Points:

Faith, sacrificial giving, and gratitude are essential components for confronting sin and restoring a broken relationship with God. Drawing from the book of Malachi, the Apostle highlights that these elements help move believers from a state of taking God for granted to a position of holiness and blessing.

Faith serves as the "key ingredient" for any believer seeking to please God and rise above their current circumstances. Its role in restoration includes:

• A Means of Perseverance: Believers are encouraged to "faith our way through" trials and take steps forward even when they feel they cannot go further.
• Trusting God’s Unlimited Power: Restoration begins when an individual recognizes that where human power is limited, God is unlimited and capable of working out seemingly impossible situations, such as struggling marriages or wayward children.
• Standing on the Word: Faith involves declaring God's promises even when "the evidence is against you". Standing completely on faith, believing without needing a physical sign, is what allows God’s blessings to surround a person.

• Covenant Security: Those who have entered into a covenant with God can trust that He will "move heaven and earth to rescue" them.

The way a person handles finances and offerings is a direct reflection of their heart’s alignment with God. Sacrificial giving aids restoration by:

• Correcting Priorities: The prophet Malachi rebuked those who lived in "nice seal houses" while allowing God’s house to "lie waste". Restoring the relationship requires prioritizing God's house and work over personal luxury.
• Giving Without Grudge: For giving to be meaningful, it must not be done "grudgingly" or with a "twisted mind". If one intends to complain or "quarrel" about their gift, it is better not to give it at all.
• Offering in Righteousness: Part of the restorative process involve God "purifying" His people so they can once again offer "an offering in righteousness" that is pleasant to Him.
• Focusing on Souls: Sacrificial giving is not merely about money but about winning souls, which is described as the ultimate wisdom.

Gratitude is the antidote to the apathy that often breaks a relationship with God. Its roles include:

• An Instrument of Spiritual Warfare: Praise is described as an "instrument of war" that helps believers fight their battles and navigate both the "uphill" and "downhill" seasons of life.
• Ending Complacency: Taking God for granted is a primary cause of a broken relationship. Gratitude, remembering what God has done, results in a joy that "bubbles forth" and a desire to tell others of His goodness.
• Avoiding "Wearying" the Lord: The Apostle warns that people can "weary the Lord" with words of complaint or by calling evil good. Instead of complaining, believers are urged to thank Him, which honors the Savior.
• Honoring God in All Things: Living a life of gratitude means making everything, from weddings to birthdays, about honoring Jesus.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff explores themes of divine loyalty and the consequences of sin based on the book of Jeremiah. She warns congregants against casual faith and the hollow practice of placing worldly vices in coffins, emphasizing that death offers no escape from spiritual accountability. By contrasting the "stony hearts" of the ancient Judeans with the resilience of modern believers, the message encourages listeners to reject reliance on human influence in favor of trusting God. Those who prioritize fleshly pursuits are likened to stunted desert shrubs, while those who anchor themselves in Christ are compared to flourishing trees planted by water. Ultimately, the message serves as a call to integrity and spiritual freedom, reminding the audience that God searches the motives of the heart to reward each person according to their deeds.

Key Points:

The sermon characterizes the eternal consequences of choosing sin over righteousness as a definitive, irreversible separation from God, emphasizing that earthly habits and vices cannot follow an individual into the afterlife.

The Accountability of the Soul: Every individual is assigned a specific time on earth and must eventually give an account of their life. The sermon rejects the idea that individuals can continue in sin, such as drug use or excessive drinking, and expect a favorable welcome in heaven. Rather than hearing "well done," those who choose sin will be asked, "What have you done with my son [Jesus]?". The Apostle stresses that there is no "purgatory" or middle ground; the only options are heaven or hell.

The Loss of Divine Inheritance: Choosing sin results in the loss of spiritual and eternal rewards:

• Loss of Heritage: Living in sin causes the "wonderful inheritance" God has reserved to "slip out" of a person's hands.
• Eternal Anger: The sermon warns that persistent sin kindles God’s anger into a "roaring fire that will burn forever".
• The "Sting" of Death: For those who live for God, death has "no sting" and the grave has "no victory". Conversely, those without God will "feel the sting" once they depart this life and realize they are on "the other side".

The Metaphor of the Stunted Shrub vs. the Fruitful Tree: The sermon uses imagery from the book of Jeremiah to contrast the eternal states of the sinful and the righteous:

• The Sinful: Those who turn their hearts from God are likened to "stunted shrubs in the desert" with no hope for the future. They are destined to inhabit "parched places" and "salt land" where there is no life because of the judgment on their sinful choices.
• The Righteous: Those who trust in the Lord are like trees planted by the water, remaining green and constantly yielding fruit even in times of drought.

The Law of Sowing and Reaping: The sermon concludes that God searches the heart and examines secret motives to give "all people their due reward". Choosing wickedness is described as sowing "thorns and thistles" that will eventually cause the individual pain, while choosing righteousness leads to reaping mercy and blessings. Apostle Allison asserts that it is a "fairy tale" to believe one can live as a murderer, thief, or "wicked man" and still enter heaven "like a docile lamb".

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on the exclusive role of Jesus Christ as the singular path to salvation. She emphasizes that believers must study the Bible with spiritual revelation rather than mere intellect to transform from "earthen vessels" into servants of truth. While acknowledging the frailty of humanity and global tragedies, the message encourages listeners to remain accountable, renounce dishonesty, and live with integrity in their daily duties. The discourse concludes with a call to action and endurance, urging the congregation to fulfill their divine assignments without making excuses. Above all, the message highlights that true ministry should glorify God rather than self, reflecting a life deeply rooted in faith and discipline.

Key Points:

Believers carry several specific responsibilities to ensure the gospel is manifested authentically in their lives and in the world. These responsibilities involve a commitment to personal integrity, consistent behavior, and spiritual discipline.

A primary responsibility for believers is to renounce "hidden things of dishonesty" and avoid walking in craftiness. Believers must not handle the Word of God deceitfully; instead, they should "rightly divide the word of truth" as students of the Bible. This includes relying on the Holy Spirit for revelation rather than personal intellect or "common sense," asking for a "download" from God so that they speak as Christ speaks. To achieve this, believers must dedicate significant time to studying the Word to grow and "overflow in Jesus".

The gospel is "hid" to the lost when believers "fake it" or fail to live the life they profess. Responsibilities in this area include:

• Avoiding "Sunday-only" Christianity: Believers must be the same person at work as they are in church, rather than acting like a Christian only within the "house of the Lord".
• Workplace Accountability: Being a believer involves being responsible and accountable with entrusted duties. This means rendering "unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar" by working honestly for one’s salary and avoiding taking advantage of the public sector.
• Fixing Relationships: Believers are urged to resolve quarrels or altercations quickly, following the principle of not letting the "sun go down upon your wrath".

For the gospel to be authentically manifested, "self" must remain dead. Believers are responsible for:

• Avoiding Self-Glorification: One should not flaunt physical beauty, charisma, or "intellect" before God, as these are gifts from Him.
• Focusing on Christ in Ministry: When preaching or sharing the gospel, the focus should be on Christ Jesus the Lord rather than personal statistics or accomplishments.
• Refusing to Compromise: Believers must stand "righteous completely," refusing to be double-minded or compromise their faith for worldly behaviors like drinking or cursing.

Every believer has a specific assignment from birth. A major responsibility is to complete this work without offering "excuses". Believers are called to "arise" and be the men or women of God they were commissioned to be, serving with passion and joy to showcase God's love to others. By "always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus," believers allow the life of Jesus to be made manifest to the world.

Rec. Date: 8th October, 2023

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff explores the biblical Book of Judges to warn believers about the dangers of spiritual and moral decay resulting from disobedience. The Apostle emphasizes that the Israelites suffered recurring failures because they ignored God’s instructions to remain separate from sinful influences and instead formed compromises with their enemies. To avoid these ancient pitfalls, the congregation is urged to practice self-introspection and maintain a life of fasting and prayer, particularly for their nation’s safety and leadership. Practical advice on vigilance and personal security is interwoven with spiritual exhortations to remain anchored in faith rather than following charismatic human leaders. Ultimately, the message serves as a call to unreserved commitment, encouraging worshippers to rid their lives of anything that does not align with divine truth.

Key Points:

Spiritual disobedience, as illustrated in the Book of Judges, begins when individuals or nations fail to follow God’s instructions "to a T" and instead choose to "do their own thing". This departure from divine guidance leads to a cycle of moral decay and the eventual withdrawal of divine protection.

Moral decay is often the result of compromising faith and making unauthorized alliances with influences God commanded to be removed. The Israelites’ failure to "utterly drive out" the inhabitants of Canaan as instructed led to a spiritual and moral spiral:

• Compromise and Alliances: Instead of removing the enemies of their faith, the people made alliances, paid tribute, and merged with them until "two became one". This lack of separation caused them to dishonor God by adopting the lifestyles of those around them.
• Idolatry: By allowing these influences to remain in their "space," the people were corrupted and fell into idolatry, choosing to serve the gods of fertility and rain, Baal and Ashtoreth, rather than the true and living God who had blessed them.
• Loss of Absolute Truth: Spiritual decay occurs when "everyone [has] their opinion of how they should do things" rather than maintaining divine order and respecting established spiritual authority. This subjectivity leads to a "spiraling down" of morality.
• Societal Consequences: The Apostle links this spiritual decline to a breakdown in society, characterized by violence, a lack of justice, and the victimization of the vulnerable, such as children and the elderly.

The loss of divine protection is a direct repercussion of forsaking God’s covenant. When people choose to "cut God off and embrace who God said to cut off," they effectively become "losers" of their own safety and destiny.

• Withdrawal of Divine Aid: Because the people did not obey His voice, God declared He would no longer drive out their enemies. Instead, those enemies became "thorns in [their] side" and their false gods became a "snare".
• Vulnerability to Spoilers: When the Lord's anger is provoked by disobedience, He may deliver people into the "hands of spoilers". Once the Israelites forsook the Lord, they "could not any longer stand before their enemies," as the victory they once enjoyed was tied to their relationship with God.
• Loss of Blessings and Helpers: Disobedience causes an individual to lose their salvation, blessings, and "destiny helpers". While God may have already won the victory, it can only be released into a person's life if they align themselves with His instructions and authority.
• Spiritual Death: Forsaking God leads to a state where one's spiritual life can die, making them susceptible to "doctrines that are seducing" and "of devils".

God’s judgment against sin is certain. To maintain protection and moral clarity, a believer must "anchor" themselves in the Word, rid their lives of things that do not belong, and "work out [their] salvation with fear and with trembling".

Rec. Date: 1st October, 2023

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on the supreme authority of Jesus and the spiritual victory available to believers through faith. The Apostle utilizes the biblical narrative of Moses and Pharaoh to illustrate how God raises leaders to confront oppression and level the playing field against earthly powers. By highlighting the miraculous transformation of Aaron’s rod into a serpent that swallowed the magicians' rods, the message emphasizes that divine power always overcomes darkness and deception. Congregants are encouraged to view themselves as designed winners who possess an inheritance of victory over sin, poverty, and sickness. Ultimately, the message serves as a call to faithful obedience, urging listeners to trust in the one true living God during times of trial and warfare.

Key Points:

God prepares and empowers individuals to confront oppressors through a combination of spiritual authority, personal preparation, and divine intervention. This process often involves leveling the playing field between the oppressed and those in power.

The primary source of empowerment is the name of Jesus, which is described as the "only one name that holds our freedom". This name holds the power and authority, granting individuals victory regardless of the circumstances they face. Furthermore, believers are empowered through a "second birth", a spiritual rebirth that designates them as "complete winners" over earthly powers, poverty, sickness, and stress.

Whenever an oppressor arises, God intentionally raises up someone to war against them. This pattern is seen throughout historical and biblical examples, which serve as models for how God acts today:

• Esther with grace was raised to counter Haman’s plots in the palace.
• David was raised to confront the size and militant ability of Goliath.
• Elijah was sent as a voice to put wicked monarchs like Ahab and Jezebel in their place.
• Moses was raised to confront Pharaoh and demand the release of his people.

God does not send individuals into these confrontations without preparation and processing. The Apostle highlights that:

• Moses was 80 years old when God finally sent him to Pharaoh, demonstrating that God can use years of life experience and specific timing to showcase His power.
• Esther underwent months of preparation with perfumes and spices before she was ready to go before the king.
• The "Process" of Failure: What individuals perceive as failure or stress is often God "processing" them to see His "mighty hand" in action later.

When confronting powerful figures, God empowers individuals by removing their sense of inferiority. For example, God "qualified" Moses as "a god to Pharaoh" so that he would not feel inferior to the ruler, who was considered a god in his own culture. Additionally, God provides divine company; just as He sent Aaron to assist Moses, He is described as sending modern believers with "company" and going before them into battle.

These principles to modern contexts, suggesting that God will raise a voice against any "Ahab," "Jezebel," or "Pharaoh" of this life, whether they are bosses, politicians, neighbors, or spouses who suppress others. Empowerment in these situations comes from:

• The Holy Word: The word of God is described as being "full of power" and a source of wisdom that cannot fail.
• The Holy Spirit: Believers receive a "holy unction from above" and an internal "fire" that provides an authority and joy that cannot be physically explained.
• Faithful Obedience: Victory is achieved by following God's specific instructions and "praising your way through" trials until the victory is realized.
