You cannot conquer what you are not willing to confront! Our own pure desire for freedom from the devil will not be defeated in retreat, it will only be dethroned if we are willing to press in and destroy the works of the enemy. Yet, often, on the contrary, the very things that have unrightfully taken a seat in our lives cause us to spiral into a swirl of shame and self-pity and begin telling us we cannot live without them. From addiction, and dysfunctional relationships, to anger and rage we become a slave to the laws they bind our souls to. But, the truth is we were never meant to live in isolation, passivity, and pain - we were designed for a life of freedom in Jesus Christ. Nothing good grows in the darkness of sin.

There are certain topics and conversations that the Church has often pushed under the rug or whispered about in a corner. Sexuality is one of these topics that is often disregarded and avoided in the Church. Yet, I feel it is vitally important that the Body of Christ brings clarity and truth to a subject that the world has perverted and religion has shamed for far too long. This past weekend, we uploaded an old teaching that I shared with School of Worship students from 2014 to my YouTube channel. Someone who I do not know created a short, 57-second video using select soundbites from that teaching, and posted the clip on social media. Understandably, anyone who saw that short video would be confused as the full context was completely missing. My team took down the original video from YouTube so that we could review it. We felt led to further address the topic of sexual purity and bring clarity to this teaching, as well as address some of the concerns and feedback we received.

I’ve received a lot of questions from you the past several weeks about prophecy, politics, and what’s happening in our country right now. On this week’s video blog, I wanted to address two commonly asked questions.

Are you trapped in a crowd of cowards and lost sight of what’s really important?

Have you ever considered the impact on the world when a prophet abandons their assignment?
