My wife Noe always wanted to go to Chicago, but doesn't like to fly. But for our 25th Anniversary I surprised her with two tickets to Chicago and she said YES, let's goooo....So off we went for the weekend to Chicago.
Chicago was fascinating. From the subway system, to the Millennium park Bean, to the Sears (Willis) tower, to the food, Chicago was fascinating. We were there for 4 nights.
However, for the final two nights of our anniversary weekend, I was awakened at 3am in the morning to pray for Chicago. As I prayed this is what I heard from the Lord.
There are two principalities over this city that must come down for Chicago to become MY city again, to become the city of My people to dwell and build. For I have declared over Chicago that it is a city that I will once again build a house for MY people to dwell. But principalities have held MY people in this city in tombs. Ancient Tombs devoted to the powers of darkness. Ancient tombs devoted to the worship of past...
Acts 2:5 Now there were…in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
Leviticus 23:4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S Passover. 8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
October marks God’s third and final Feast of the year, the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), which begins this evening, October 2nd.
Sukkot represents a time of the people of Israel being sheltered by the Lord in the Wilderness. A time of relying on Him for both protection and provision. The Israelites knew this and were commanded to keep this feast and to teach all generations after them to do the same.
God decreed that Sukkot is to be celebrated perpetually throughout all generations...FOREVER (Leviticus 23:41).
The Feasts of the...
Deu 16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
In the Old Testament, though the tithe opened the windows of heaven and released the blessing of rain over the land, after the rains came and the harvests came up, there were three main times of giving in the Hebrew economy that the children of Israel were to bring special offerings unto the Lord. They were known as the Feasts of the Lord that were to be kept 3 times a year in the Hebrew economy; Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.
Just as there were 3 times...
This is how I feel inside every month at this time BUT THIS MONTH I'M ESPECIALLY ECSTATIC FOR MANY REASONS....
The Church at ANTIOCH seen in the book of Acts chapters 11 and 13 was a unique church giving us, not only a model of gathering in expressions of devotion unto the Lord, but giving us a model of how to evangelize and disciple whole cultures.
The Antioch Church was a gathering of believers across cultural, racial and religious barriers, including and highlighting key ministry gifts, and disciplines of prayer, fasting and depending on the Holy Spirit to speak, while seeking and worshiping God in a corporate expression.
The main two companion books for this endeavor THE ANTIOCH PROJECT - How to evangelize and disciple the BLM/COVID-19 Culture and THE CHURCH WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE - 7 steps to Becoming A Pure & Spotless Bride Ready For the Day of the Lord
This PROJECT will reveal how to be prepared to minister to the culture at the end of the age, and how this end-time Church will be prepared as a...
The 21st century Church is presently in the midst of a discipline of the Lord for our Prayerlessness, Powerlessness and for depending on numbers as the measurement of success in ministry. . ..If were going to turn the tide of this Plague/Virus in our nation as the Church , and in the BLM culture, as an agent of social change, were going to have to REPENT for relying on the Arm of the Flesh, and NOT on the LORD.
This Global Pandemic exposed the church in 3 main areas that are most needed, and that should now be our emphasis in repenting and rebuilding.
1. It was exposed that we had No Prayer services - (Isaiah 56:7; Matthew 21:10-16; Acts 2:1;4:29)
2. We're exposed that we had No home discipleship groups (Acts 2:42-46)
3. We were exposed that we had No food & clothing to feed and help the people during times of economic hardship- (Acts 6 Deacons to serve the needy)
If you're a Christian and you can't hear black lives matter without feeling the need to respond with a criticism that "ALL LIVES MATTER," then crack open your bible and hit up Luke 15.
Don't have it handy? Let me summarize.
There are 100 sheep, but one goes missing. Jesus leaves the 99 and goes after the one.
The 99: "Baaaaahhhh But what about us? Don't we matter?
Jesus: Of course 99 you still matter, but you're not the ones in danger - The one is.
Just like that one sheep mattered to Jesus, Black Lives in America Matter to him.
All Lives mattering hasn't been the Question that Blacks are asking of Whites in the Black community, but Do Black Lives Matter?
“All Lives Matter Wasn’t the Question.” Of course all lives matter. The question was, “Do Black Lives Matter?”
And just so it's clear, in my community I don't just promote Black Lives in the Streets being killed by Police mattering.....I promote ALL BLACK LIVES MATTERING FROM WITHIN THE WOMB...
OVERCOMING THE SPIRIT OF JEZEBEL IN THIS GENERATION
Rev 2:18 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 'The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
19 "I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first.
20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food...
WHY I BELIEVE IN SOME FORM OF REPARATIONS
I believe whatever is revealed that comes from scripture......not from a political sense, but from a biblical sense.
In Exodus 12:33-36, The children of Israel, on their way out of 400 years of slavery, God directed them to request from their neighbors, silver, Gold, etc...and gave them favor to receive the wealth of Egypt....He gave them the reparations of 400 years worth of wages for free labor in ONE night.
I believe in reparations for the ancestors of former slaves because God didn't send Israel out of slavery empty handed. Our African-American forefathers were released from hundreds of years of slavery EMPTY HANDED. This is why I believe in reparations from the BIBLE, not from a political vantage point, but from a biblical standpoint, which is different from what is being promoted in liberal policies today.
Reparations from a biblical standpoint begins with a return to God, from a dependency on a system that at its core is...

1. THERE COMES A TIME
You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression.
There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair.
There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time.
2. WE THE DISINHERITED OF THIS LAND
•We, the disinherited of this land.
•We who have been oppressed so long, are tired of going through the long night of captivity.
•And now we are...
