In this week’s message, Minister Stacey delivers a faith-building charge to the church: God has already given His people authority — and now He’s calling us to walk in it. In a time where society is shifting, pressure is rising, and the enemy is attacking on every side, this teaching reminds believers that we were never meant to live powerless. Through scripture, bold instruction, and practical application, Minister Stacey calls the church to stand up in delegated power and operate as representatives of the Kingdom of God.Minister Stacey opens with a strong reminder that God is good, then takes the church to foundational passages that establish the believer’s authority: Luke 10:19 and Luke 9:1–5. Jesus didn’t just give encouragement — He gave power and authority over the enemy, and He sent His disciples out to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick.A key point in the message is the meaning of authority: Minister Stacey explains that the Greek word “exousia” refers to delegated power, and the value of that authority depends on its source — and our source is the Most High God. This authority was restored through Christ, and believers are called to stop seeing the enemy as bigger than what God placed in us.From there, Minister Stacey challenges the church to recognize that what we permit, we allow — and what we bind on earth carries Kingdom backing. She urges believers not to forget their authority during trials, persecution, and opposition, and reminds the church that God is looking for bold people with “crazy faith” — even faith that speaks to storms and refuses fear.She also emphasizes that you don’t need a title to walk in authority — the believer carries the Name of Jesus, and that Name is still powerful enough to shake systems, silence darkness, and produce undeniable fruit. The call is clear: don’t stay quiet. Don’t back down. Cry loud and spare not.Minister Stacey closes with practical direction for daily life: start prophesying over your week, speak against delay, call in what’s been held up, and speak over your children and grandchildren — especially in a time when confusion is targeting identity and faith. This message is both a warning and an activation: God is building a bold, unified church, and He wants His people to be available and ready.Key Reminders from This MessageJesus gave believers power and authority over all the power of the enemyAuthority (exousia) is delegated power — and its value depends on the sourceThe enemy looks for what we permit and tries to gain a foothold in families, finances, and healthGod is calling His church to boldness, not silenceYou don’t need a title — you carry the Name of Jesus, and that Name is still powerfulUse trials as a place to praise, not complain — what you’re facing is temporarySpeak to your week: prophesy, call things in, and resist delaySpeak over your children and family — the church can shift regions through prayer and unity📖 Scripture CoveredLuke 10:19Luke 9:1–5Acts 4:13–21 (boldness of Peter and John)(Referenced) Authority to bind and loose(Referenced) Healing promises / laying hands on the sick🙌 Like, Share & SubscribeHelp spread this message by liking, sharing, and subscribing.🔔 Stay UpdatedTap the bell icon for new sermons and teachings.📺 YouTube: River of God Channel🌐 Website: https://rogcc.com📍 In Person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231🎯 Hashtags#WalkInYourAuthority #SpiritualAuthority #Luke1019 #Luke9 #Acts4 #BoldFaith #KingdomOfGod #InJesusName #Healing #Deliverance #Prayer #HolySpirit #RiverOfGod #MinisterStacey #BrooklynChurch

Repentance & The Kingdom February 22nd, 2026 | River of God | Pastor Donald Gray

In this week’s message, Pastor Donald Gray delivers a clear, urgent word to the church: repentance is not optional — it’s a kingdom response. With prophetic encouragement, sobering scripture, and practical instruction, this teaching calls believers to let God fix us first, so His blessing and protection can rest on His people in the days ahead.Pastor Donald opens with a personal prophetic moment, speaking renewal over a sister in the house — renewed youth, renewed joy, and restored what was lost — then reminds the church: what God speaks for one of His children can be a word for all who will receive it.From there, the Holy Spirit shifts the service to one central word: repentance. Pastor Donald explains that many have trivialized repentance, but in Acts 2 it was one of the first foundational words preached at the birth of the church. He gives a simple, practical definition to write down:Repentance = “Cease from doing evil, and learn to do good.”Reading from Luke 17:20–27, Pastor Donald teaches on the kingdom of God — that it is in our midst when God’s presence is here — but also warns that there is coming a day when God’s kingdom is revealed in judgment, like the days of Noah. People continued life as usual, ignored the warning, and destruction came suddenly. The message is direct: God’s judgment is real, and it can be sudden — so the church must be ready.Pastor Donald also introduces the idea of God as the One who fixes what is broken, calling the church to stop pointing fingers and begin praying: “Fix me, God.” Repentance isn’t just words — it’s turning away from evil and returning to God.Finally, he closes with a powerful and challenging reminder: complete repentance is not only going to God — it also means making things right with people:repent to those you’ve done wrongrepent to those who have done you wrongThis is the pathway to freedom — and Pastor Donald emphasizes that repentance brings blessing when it’s real.Key Reminders from This MessageRepentance has been minimized — but Heaven still calls it essentialRepentance means: cease from doing evil, and learn to do goodThe kingdom of God is in your midst when God’s presence is presentAs in the days of Noah, many will ignore warnings until it’s too lateGod is a “Fixer” — but it starts with “Fix me, God”Judgment can be sudden — the church must stay readyRepentance brings blessing when it’s sincere and completeComplete repentance includes reconciling with people, not just praying privately📖 Scripture CoveredLuke 17:20–27Acts 2(Referenced) The days of Noah / the flood account🙌 Like, Share & SubscribeHelp spread this message by liking, sharing, and subscribing.🔔 Stay UpdatedTap the bell icon for new sermons and teachings.📺 YouTube: River of God Channel🌐 Website: https://rogcc.com📍 In Person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231🎯 Hashtags#Repentance #KingdomOfGod #Luke17 #DaysOfNoah #FixMeGod #HolySpirit #RiverOfGod #PastorDonaldGray #ChristianSermon #EndTimes #ReturnToGod #Prayer #BrooklynChurch

In this week’s message, Pastor Donald Gray continues the Holy Spirit series with a bold and practical teaching on living water, spiritual gifts, and love—revealing that whatever is inside you is what will spill out when life bumps you.Pastor Donald opens with a powerful reminder: “You will spill what you carry.” If anger, hatred, or unforgiveness is inside, pressure will expose it. But when believers are filled with the Holy Ghost, what overflows is life, peace, and the nature of Jesus.Using John 7:37–39, Pastor Donald explains that Jesus wasn’t speaking about natural water—He was pointing to the Holy Ghost as living water. The Holy Spirit doesn’t primarily work through emotions or feelings; He works in the heart, producing rivers that move outward to refresh others—not just ourselves.A major theme of the message is spiritual advantage. Jesus said it is to our advantage that He goes away, because He would send the Helper. Pastor Donald teaches that the Holy Ghost brings:Help for daily livingPower and gifts from GodVictory in spiritual warfarePreparation and assurance for what’s aheadThen the message moves into a key foundation many believers miss: love is the requirement for effective spiritual gifts. From 1 Corinthians 14, Pastor Donald teaches that prophecy is meant to edify the church—but the gifts cannot operate rightly without love. Tongues build you up, strengthen you, and lead to maturity—but love is what makes the gifts safe, fruitful, and effective.Pastor Donald also teaches that praying in the Holy Ghost produces mortification—putting to death the deeds of the flesh (Romans 8:13). Without this inner work, believers may try to move in spiritual things while still spilling carnality under pressure.The message closes with a vivid picture from Ezekiel 47—the river flowing from the temple, increasing from ankle-deep to waters to swim in. God is calling the church deeper: not stagnant water that stays private, but rivers that move outward to reach the community.As Pastor Donald warns, this Word will be tested: when you leave, something will challenge your love—and your response will reveal what you’re carrying.Closing Prayer Focus:“Lord, baptize me in love. Send the fire of God to burn out everything in me that isn’t like You—so only Jesus is seen.”Key Reminders from This MessageYou will spill what you carry when pressure hitsThe Holy Ghost is living water—meant to overflow, not stagnateThe Holy Spirit works in the heart, not just feelingsJesus gave believers an advantage by sending the HelperTongues edify you and build you up for maturityLove is required to operate effectively in spiritual giftsPraying in the Spirit produces mortification (killing the flesh)God calls the church deeper—until the river becomes waters to swim inThis word will be tested after service: your love will be tried📖 Scripture CoveredJohn 7:37–39John 14:17John 16:71 Corinthians 121 Corinthians 131 Corinthians 14:1–5Jude 1:20Romans 8:13–14Ezekiel 47Acts 2🙌 Like, Share & SubscribeHelp spread this message by liking, sharing, and subscribing.🔔 Stay UpdatedTap the bell icon for new sermons and teachings.📺 YouTube: River of God Channel🌐 Website: https://rogcc.com📍 In Person:River of God Christian Center110 Wolcott St, Brooklyn, NY 11231🎯 Hashtags#HolyGhost #HolySpirit #LivingWater #SpiritualGifts #Love #Tongues #Prophecy #John7 #Ezekiel47 #Romans8 #RiverOfGod #PastorDonaldGray #ChristianSermon #SpiritFilled
