Most Christians believe that the way to fight fear, anxiety, painful emotions, and negative thoughts is to resist or suppress them when they come up, but what if this is actually strengthening these emotional and spiritual bondages? 

In this message titled “Ye Resist Not Evil—Part 2,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains how resistance rooted in fear, control, and self-will often keeps believers trapped in cycles of anxiety, trauma, and inner conflict. He contrasts living by the flesh—fear, control, and self-preservation—with living by the spirit through faith, trust, and dependence on God.

Rather than suppressing or battling negative thoughts with arguments or constant mental warfare, Pastor Walter calls believers to surrender fully to God and stop trying to control outcomes themselves. He emphasizes observing fearful thoughts and painful emotions without engaging or suppressing them and allowing God’s healing and providence to work freely. 

Beloved, as you listen to this message and put it into practice daily, may the Lord lead you out of every trauma or emotional and spiritual bondage and bring you to a place of surrender where you can experience peace, healing, forgiveness, and freedom. 

Key Scriptures: Matthew 5:38-41  KJV

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

Many believers desire freedom, power, and true faith, yet remain trapped in cycles of striving, self-effort, and frustration. The path to faith begins where self ends.

In this message, titled ‘Surrender: The Path to Faith’ Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals how the self seeks to take the place of God - even in spiritual matters. He explains how a man's ego (self) can imitate faith, prayer, and dependence on God while still operating independently of Him. True faith, however, cannot be manufactured by human effort; it is imparted by God to the surrendered heart. Pastor Walter emphasizes that until we dethrone self and yield fully to God, the life and power of God cannot truly dwell in us. Prayer itself must move beyond self-centered desires into surrender to the will of God.

This message offers a deeper understanding of how the "self" interferes with spiritual growth, why surrender is essential for genuine faith and love, and how yielding to God opens the door to faith and love. This message will challenge you to let go of your will and embrace complete dependence on God.

Beloved, the greatest lesson any believer can ever come to is that we did not make ourselves: and if we did not make ourselves, then there is One who did. That recognition often leads us to a place of surrender or letting go to the One who made us. But what does it truly mean to surrender, and to whom do we surrender? 

In this retreat message, "Surrender: The Path to Freedom (Happiness, Peace, Rest)" Pastor Jeffrey Walter expounds on what it truly means to surrender and to whom we surrender. He confronts the lies many of us have believed about what we need in order to be truly happy or at peace. Explaining the concepts of ‘man’, ‘woman’ and ‘serpent’ as featured in the Garden of Eden, he explains how the desire to be in charge lies at the very root of human struggle and separation from God. He also shares what it looks like to stop trusting in our own will and wisdom, and to live yielded to God by keeping His commandments. A Q&A session follows, where questions on this subject are answered.

Beloved, may this message lead you to begin your journey to true freedom, happiness, and peace in the Lord. Amen.

Theme Scripture: Genesis 3:2–7 (KJV)

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took off the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

In our journey of transformation, we often try to deal with the evils within us by instinctively confronting the wrong desires, false thoughts, as well as the negative emotions they stir up within us. Yet this approach often leaves us struggling even more with these evils, rather than truly overcoming them. But there is a better way: do not resist evil.

In this message, “Ye Resist Not Evil,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains the deeper meaning of the principle “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” He points out how we often err in our instinctive response to evil desires, falsehoods and negative emotions that arise within us. Highlighting the dangers of confronting evil from ourselves, he presents the Lord’s way to overcoming evils and emphasises that our battle is to not resist evil, but to turn away from it and not yield to it. He further offers practical guidance on how to deal with evils, drawing a clear distinction between allowing evil and obeying it. Ultimately, he urges believers to embrace this path, no matter how challenging, assuring that it is the sure way to overcome evils.

Beloved, may this message inspire you to embrace this true path to overcoming evil, so that you can experience genuine freedom.

Key Scripture: Matthew 5:39 (KJV)

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

The book of Proverbs exhorts us to “get wisdom” and “understanding” (Proverbs 4:5 KJV). As believers, we are called to continually give ourselves to seeking truth and deepening the understanding of our faith.

Additionally, he addresses questions regarding blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, forgiveness of sins, speaking in tongues, God’s mercy, polygamy, and baptism.

Beloved, may this session inspire you to deeply reflect and genuinely desire to apply these foundational truths,  and may your daily walk with God be transformed as you do so.

The greatest struggle of man is not in knowing what to do or what he must become. All men have a good appreciation of this because the scriptures show us this, but the struggle is in the feeling of inadequacy. That we do not have what it takes to become what God says we can become, and those who have been able to achieve it are somewhat special. 

In this message titled “The Lord as the Way - Part 2”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter highlights the difference between believing in God and believing in Jesus, emphasizing that while many acknowledge God, they struggle to trust Jesus (the Divine human) as the source of grace, strength, and ability needed to live out God’s will. He confronts self-doubt and the habit of disqualifying oneself, explaining that everything we lack—faith, discipline, wisdom, and perseverance—is fully supplied in Christ. Rather than giving in to discouragement or feelings of inadequacy, He urges us to trust in the grace supplied in Jesus, persevere in faith, and step into our calling with confidence—knowing that He supplies all we need to overcome and grow as believers.

Key Scriptures: John 14:1 KJV

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 

John 14:6 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

God is able and always willing to help, deliver, and give us His peace in the midst of life’s chaos. Yet we still struggle to access His help—not because He is absent, but because we are unable to access Him and take advantage of what He has already made available. So, what is hindering our access to God, and how can we gain access to Him?

In this message titled “The Lord As The Way - Part 1,” Pastor Jeffrey explains the believer’s relationship with God and how we should respond to His commands. He addresses common misconceptions that distort our view of this relationship and how we approach Him, emphasising the need of knowing who He truly is. He further sheds light on the meaning of Jesus’ words, “I go to prepare a place for you,” presenting the eternal pathway by which we can access Him. He explains why this path often feels challenging and how it can be practically pursued, affirming it as the sure way to God. Finally, he urges us to wholly rely on the Lord—who is the way—trusting Him to supply all we need to walk this path. 

Let this message spur you on to pursue the sure path to access God and partake of His goodness—trusting Him as your dependable help.

Key Scriptures: John 14:3 (KJV)

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Have you ever wondered what God provides to help you keep going when the journey gets hard? Beyond your effort and discipline, there is a divine supply that sustains you through every phase.

In this message, titled ‘Grace and Mercy’, Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals the other side of the journey of transformation - what comes from God to help us continue: grace and mercy. He explains how grace operates as God’s supernatural help for those in the battle: revealing the true enemy, showing the steps to take, empowering you with confidence, and giving you hope. He further unveils mercy as God’s sustaining hand that keeps you in victory, reminding you that it is ultimately His power - not your struggle - that brings deliverance.

You will gain clarity on how to access and cooperate with grace in your daily walk, how to rely on God’s mercy to remain transformed, and how to continue the journey with confidence, even in the face of intense resistance. This message will help you recognize your part in taking advantage of the divine help while resting in the assurance that God’s hand is what secures your victory.

May you be strengthened as you listen.

John 14:14 reveals a deeper truth about prayer and our relationship with God. This verse is not referring merely to spoken words, but to a posture of alignment with who God truly is. In this alignment, we receive what we desire from God—not because of our expressions, but because of God’s certain willingness to help.

In this message, “He Comes Surely,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explores the meaning of God’s “name” as His nature and qualities. He explains that genuine prayer or “asking” is about aligning with His will—thereby positioning us to receive. He further emphasizes that God already knows, loves, and is fully committed to helping us, assuring believers that He moves suddenly, and will surely come through for them. Finally, Pastor Walter underscores the importance of gratitude—not only as a response to answered prayers, but as an active posture that aligns us with the reality of God’s promises and strengthens our faith in Him.

As you listen to this message, may the Lord strengthen your faith, align your heart with His nature, and bring you into the confidence that He will surely manifest His work in your life.

Key Scripture:

John 14:14 (KJV)

If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Feeling weary or tempted to stop along the journey of transformation? The truth is, continuing is not automatic - it requires strength, renewal, and companionship.

In this message titled “Continue the Journey of Change”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches that one key fuel for continuing the journey is the companionship from the Word (truth) of God. As resistance arises, we are reminded that transformation comes through tribulation, and endurance must be cultivated through the continuous reception of truth. He highlights two vital ways we receive the truth: first, through preaching or reading of doctrine; and second, through the exemplification of truth in the lives of the believers around us. You are not meant to walk this journey alone.

You will learn how to stay spiritually fueled for the journey, how to overcome the internal resistance that causes many to give up, and how to position yourself in the right environment to keep moving forward. This message will encourage you to remain grounded in the Word and connected to the brethren, so you can finish what you’ve started.

May you be strengthened as you listen.
