    Before God Aligns Your Year, He Aligns You | Soul Alignment and Spiritual Restoration

    God's desire is not only to prosper your year — it is to align your soul. Drawing from 3 John 1:2, this message reveals a foundational truth: external breakthrough is always preceded by internal alignment. What you tolerate inwardly will eventually limit what you can conquer outwardly.

    Using the imagery of a salvaged vehicle, we examine how trauma, sin, and misalignment at the soul level can render a life unfit for the road God designed. Through the story of Jacob, we see that wandering is often not geographic — it is spiritual. God does not merely change circumstances; He confronts identity, touches what we rely on, and realigns how we walk.

    This episode calls believers to allow God to repair what life bent, heal what the enemy damaged, and restore what was twisted along the way. Alignment is not weakness — it is preparation. Before God straightens your path, He restores your soul.

    Key Quote

    "The limp was not a sign of weakness — it was a sign of alignment."

    The Lord says:

    • I am straightening what life has bent.
    • I am repairing what trauma twisted.
    • I am healing what the enemy damaged.
    • I am restoring what sin destroyed.
    • I am aligning what has been misaligned.
    Closing Call to Action

    If you desire a transformed year, begin with a surrendered soul. Acknowledge God in every way, allow Him to confront what you've tolerated, and trust Him to straighten what life has bent. Alignment precedes acceleration — and restoration always comes before direction.

  • Different Religions: Why Only Jesus Truly Saves | World Religions, Denominations, and the Non-Negotiables of Christianity
    Nov 11 2025

    Recorded Live: Nov 9, 2025

    A biblical look at world religions and Christian denominations — and why only Jesus remains the one true way to salvation.

    From ancient civilizations to modern culture, humanity has consistently sought the divine. Across nations and belief systems, many acknowledge a higher power — yet they radically differ in who that divine being is.

    In this message, we take a clear and biblical look at the world's religions — including polytheism and Islam — and explore how each contrasts with the truth of Scripture. We identify why false gods always demand, while Jesus alone gives life, assurance, and salvation through His finished work on the cross and resurrection.

    Additionally, we examine major Christian denominations and where some diverge from the biblical non-negotiables of Christianity. What is essential to the Gospel? Who is Jesus? How are we saved? What has God revealed as truth? This episode equips believers to recognize the core doctrines that unite us as the Body of Christ — and the dangerous teachings that lead people away from Him.

    This message will help you understand what separates Christianity from all other paths: not that Christians are superior, but that Jesus is the only Savior who rescues, redeems, and restores.

    "The difference is not that Christians are better. The difference is Jesus is enough."

    Listen and share this teaching to strengthen your understanding of the Gospel, confidently engage with other faiths, and discern biblical truth from cultural distortion. Jesus still stands alone as the way, the truth, and the life — and He remains the only One who saves.

  • It's Subject to Your Authority | Living in the Power Jesus Gave You |
    Nov 11 2025

    Recorded Live: Nov 5, 2025 | First Wednesday at Elevate

    Jesus didn't just demonstrate authority — He delegated it. In this message, we explore why miracles were limited in Nazareth and how unbelief continues to hinder what God wants to do through us today. Scripture reveals that every follower of Jesus has been given real spiritual authority — not based on volume, emotion, or personality, but based on being fully convinced of God's Word.

    We explore what it means to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, why the early Church saw supernatural signs everywhere they went, and how faith moves mountains when we speak with the authority Christ has given us. We also confront the internal issue that often blocks that power — unforgiveness — and learn why you cannot hold on to bitterness and breakthrough at the same time.

    This teaching will challenge you to rise above passive Christianity, embrace who God says you are, and walk confidently in the authority that makes the enemy flee.

    "Faith is not emotion — it's authority in motion"

    Step into the identity Jesus paid for. Speak the Word with confidence. Release forgiveness. And watch the supernatural become your new normal. Because when you exercise the authority Jesus gave you — mountains move, healing comes, and miracles happen.
