5th Gospel…Sermon

Introduction:
S. M. Lockridge… Every Sermon Should:
1) Stretch Your Mind: It should teach you something and help you think more clearly.
2) Inform and Instruct You: You should leave, learning something you didn’t know before you arrived.
3) Tan Your Hide: In other words, it should correct you or convict you.
4) Warm Your Heart and Provoke Your Will: It should encourage you inwardly and move you to action, so you do what God wants you to do.
For the vast majority of people who want to know about Jesus, where would they look? For most, you’d think it to be the Bible. And you would be correct. The short answer is the 1st 4 books of the New Testament. It’s because the 1st 4 Gospels are geared to show us the birth, the life, the words, the miracles, the death, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Matthew presents Him as King. Mark shows Him as servant. Luke reveals His humanity. And John lifts up His divinity. All together, these 4 Gospels tell the story of the Son of God.
But today, I’m here to tell you about ANOTHER “Gospel” the world reads every day. Because the majority of non-Christians, and I’m sorry to say, Christians in name only, don’t crack open God’s word to learn about the Savior of mankind.
In 1997 a movie came out starring Bruce Willis playing Korben Dallas, and Milla Jovovich as Leeloo. Milla is the heroine who played in “Resident Evil” movies. In this movie, the two team up to save humanity. The name was “The 5th Element.”
Just as the 5th Element was there to save humanity, God has produced another expression of the Gospel story. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was an evangelist by the name of Gypsy Smith.
“There are five Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John… and the Christian. But most people never read the first four.”
Today we’re gonna talk about a Gospel that is read by the world, EVERY day:
It’s not written in a book.
It’s not printed on paper.
But it’s written in a life.
It’s lived in the home, at work, in your neighborhood, in the church, in hospital rooms, in Walmart, in schools, and in the secret places of the heart.
IT IS the 5th Gospel!
The 5th Gospel doesn’t replace the first 4 Gospels, but it REFLECTS them.
You see the moon, not because of any light of its own. You see the moon because it REFLECTS the true source of the light.
The 5th Gospel doesn’t add to Scripture, but it displays Scripture. The 5th Gospel doesn’t create a new Christ, but the 5th Gospel makes the same Christ visible to the world through your life.
For some people, you’re the closest thing they’ll ever see to a Bible. If you’re a child of the King, you may be the only sermon they’ll ever hear. You are possibly the only witness they’ll observe before they ever open up a Bible.
So, my question isn’t merely, “Do you believe the Gospel?” The true question is, “Does your life PREACH the Gospel?”

We Are Christ’s Living Letter
Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (KJV)
“Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.”
Now THAT is a powerful word picture.
Paul is telling us we are a letter. A letter is meant to be read. A letter carries a message. A letter communicates something from one person to another. And Paul says, your life is a letter FROM Christ to those you come in contact with.
In other words, the WORLD is reading you because you are the 5th Gospel…
They read your patience.
They read your temper.
They read your forgiveness.
They read your honesty.
They read your response to pressure.
They read your marriage.
They read your parenting.
They read your attitude when things go wrong.
They read your conduct when there are no applause.
The world may NEVER enter a church building, but the world is still reading about God’s church through the lives of its people.
Christianity is NOT merely something we confess with our mouths… It’s something we embody with our lives.
The GREATEST argument for the faith isn’t a clever explanation, a cute bumper sticker, or a cool tee shirt. It’s a CHANGED life. A life touched by Jesus, by a living God in such a way that people can see there is something different, something holy, something hopeful, and something real.
When Peter and John were brought before the Sadducee council in Jerusalem, and they saw the boldness which Peter preached, it says in Acts 4:13 (KJV):
“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”
That’s the goal of the 5th Gospel:
Not that people say, “Look how impressive they are.”
Not that people say, “What a talented speaker.”
Not that people say, “What a charismatic personality.”
But that people say, “you can tell, that dude has been with Jesus.”

The Witness Is Written by the Spirit
Jesus said in Acts 1:8 (KJV)
“But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
Take notice very carefully to what Jesus said:
Jesus didn’t say, “Try harder and maybe you can be a witness.”
He didn’t say, “If you’re naturally outgoing, you can become my witnesses.”
And He didn’t say, “Only gifted, trained, or fearless folks will be my witnesses.”
But what he did say was, “ye SHALL receive power…” and then, “Ye SHALL be my witnesses”  
Witnessing isn’t just a personality trait, it’s a Spirit-enabled calling.
The Holy Spirit gives COURAGE… where there is fear.
The Holy Spirit gives TRUTH… where there is confusion.
The Holy Spirit gives COMPASSION… where there is hardness.
The Holy Spirit gives BOLDNESS… where there is timidity.
The Holy Spirit gives POWER… where there is weakness.
And that’s why the 5th Gospel can’t be written with fleshly strength. It can’t be produced with image management. It can’t be maintained by religious performance. Because it can ONLY be written the Spirit of the living God on the human heart and on your soul!
A lot of people know how to look religious.  
And a lot of church folk know how to speak religious lingo and with religious speech.
There are many who can sing about faith, and quote Bible verses till the cows come home, but still not be the 5th Gospel.
But when the Holy Spirit fills a life, something changes. Your words become weighty, your actions have meaning, and your character is now convincing.
A Spirit-filled witness doesn’t just talk about Jesus on Sunday, he/she is a witness who reflects Jesus on Mondays.

The 5th Gospel MUST Be Visible!
Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV):
“14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Light doesn’t argue for itself. Light doesn’t boast. Light doesn’t have to announce to a dark room, “I’m the light.” IT SIMPLY SHINES!
Jesus said His people are to be the light in this world. In other words, we are to reflect Jesus. People should be able to read Jesus when they look at the 5th Gospel we radiate.
Astrologically: You can only see the moon because of the light reflecting from the sun. So too, the 5th Gospel is a reflection on the person of Jesus Christ.
What I’m trying to say is, the 5th Gospel isn’t only verbal, but it’s visible. It’s seen in our conduct. It’s seen in our compassion. It’s seen in our consistency. And it’s seen in our integrity.
When a Christian is honest in business, THAT IS LIGHT!
When a Christian is gentle in conflict, THAT IS LIGHT!
When a Christian is faithful in marriage, THAT IS LIGHT!
When a Christian is kind to the weak, THAT IS LIGHT!
When a Christian forgives an enemy, THAT IS LIGHT!
When a Christian speaks truth without cruelty, THAT IS LIGHT!
Jesus didn’t say the world would glorify the Father because of our performance. He said they would glorify the Father because of our good works. Not because we’re trying to be admired, but because the light we reflect leads them to God.
That’s the danger of living so that people see us but never see Christ. The 5th Gospel IS NEVER a story about our greatness.
The 5th Gospel is ALWAYS a testimony of His grace!

Witnessing Happens In Ordinary Places
One of the biggest mistakes Christians make is thinking that people being the 5th Gospel only happens in special moments. There are moments for evangelism, for preaching from the pulpit, special testimony moments, altar calls, mission trips and public activities/proclamations. But life is ordinary And that’s where most of the 5th Gospel is penned.
The 5th Gospel is written at the breakfast tables.
The 5th Gospel is written in traffic, on I-65 at rush hours.
The 5th Gospel is written in the school hallways.
The 5th Gospel is written in the offices.
The 5th Gospel is written in the hospital waiting rooms.
The 5th Gospel is written in the Walmart.
The 5th Gospel is written in the nursery.
The 5th Gospel is written in the nursing home.
The 5th Gospel is written at the kitchen table after everyone else has gone to bed.
Your family may never hear you preach a sermon, but they see how you act at home.
People who never sit under your Bible Study, will see how you handle inconvenience.
They may never attend this church, but they’ll observe how we display patience.
They may never ask you deep theological questions, but they’ll be deeply affected by your life.
The 5th Gospel is not only public, it’s personal. It’s not what you say in a crowd, but what you are in private.
The most powerful 5th Gospel witness isn’t the loudest one. It’s the most consistent one.

The 5th Gospel Witness MUST Carry the Right Message!
The 5th Gospel doesn’t invent a new message. The 5th Gospel simply tells the truth about what’s been seen and known.
The 5th Gospel isn’t our own version of Christianity.
It isn’t a Joel Osteen style self-help book with Bible verses attached.
It isn’t moral improvement without the cross.
It isn’t activism without repentance.
It isn’t religion without resurrection.
The 5th Gospel IS the reflection of the first 4 Gospels, that Jesus came into the world to save sinners. That Jesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose again on the 3rd day, and He calls all people everywhere to repentance and faith.
If our version of Gospel points people to anything else, we have failed as witnesses. A Christian witness shouldn’t cause people to think, “Look at that person.”
When people see forgiveness in you, they sense the mercy of Christ.
When people see hope in you, they sense the resurrection power of Christ.
When people see humility in you, they sense the servant heart of Christ.
When people see courage in you, they sense the lordship of Christ reflect from you.
The 5th Gospel isn’t about self-exaltation, but it’s about Christ-exaltation!

The 5th Gospel Endures Pressure!
One of the clearest signs of a true witness is what happens under pressure.
It’s easy to praise God when life is going smoothly. It’s easy to talk about faith when answered prayers seem immediate. It’s easy to always wear a smile when things are going your way.
But the world watches the 5th Gospel most closely when those who claim to be Christians are tested.
When a bad diagnosis comes, when the bills pile up, when the relationship strains, when the child rebels, when the job is lost, when the prayer seems unanswered, and when a suffering doesn’t pass quickly.
That’s when the 5th Gospel becomes especially powerful. Because people all around you can see if your faith is real.
Paul and Silas in prison sang at the midnight hour. THAT was the 5th Gospel!
Job had all his possessions and children snatched from him and yet he still worshipped. THAT was the 5th Gospel!
Daniel was kidnapped and tempted and even thrown into the lion’s den but remained faithful. THAT was the 5th Gospel!
Stephen forgave even while being stoned. THAT was the 5th Gospel!
And Jesus himself, in His suffering, displayed perfect obedience to the Father. THAT was the original witness, the original Gospel.
Trials don’t automatically make you a witness. If your hope disappears the moment hardship arrives, then your witness was shallow.
But if Christ remains your confidence in the valley, then the world sees something GREATER than just optimism. It sees the 5th Gospel. Ephesians 4:14 (KJV)

The 5th Gospel Must Be Authentic
Throughout the world, people have had enough counterfeit religion. There’s weariness from hypocrisy.
They’re tired of empty words, suspicious of performative services, and they’re looking for something real. That’s why authenticity matters.
The 5th Gospel MUST be honest:
Not perfect, but honest.
Not sinless, but repentant.
Not proud, but teachable.
Not pretending, but transformed.
There’s a difference between acting religious and walking with God, between having a moral image and having a spiritual reality. People may not expect perfection from you, but they DO expect sincerity.
When they read the 5th Gospel people need to see that their life can know how to confess, how to repent, how to forgive, and how to start living with God as their purpose.
One of the greatest ways you witness about Christ is not by never failing, but how you respond when you fail.
A believer who humbly repents points to grace. A believer who quickly forgives points to the cross. And a believer who keeps coming back to Jesus points to hope.
That kind of authenticity makes the 5th Gospel believable!!!

The 5th Gospel Is a Blessing to the World!
When Church folk truly live as the 5th Gospel, they become a blessing to everyone they meet.
They bless the home because peace enters the atmosphere.
They bless the church because unity is strengthened.
They bless the workplace because trust is built.
They bless the community because compassion is seen.
They bless the lost because hope becomes visible.
The 5th Gospel witness isn’t a burden to society, it’s a gift from God.
Remember, we are salt and we are light. Salt preserves, light guides through the darkness, love heals the broken, and truth liberates.
And that is why the 5th Gospel matters so much. Because the world doesn’t just need some more religious talk. It needs the life of Jesus written and displayed in others who have been transformed by the grace of a merciful God.

What It Looks Like Practically!
So, what does it mean to be the 5th Gospel?
First, it means we stay close to Jesus.
As the moon can’t reflect what if doesn’t receive, we can’t reflect Jesus if you haven’t received His light. Prayer, Scripture, worship, obedience, and fellowship aren’t extras. They’re lifelines.
Second, it means we let the Spirit shape how we react in daily life.
Your witness is tested more by your reaction than by your intention. How do you respond when you’re interrupted, criticized, betrayed, or overlooked? The Spirit of God makes us more like Christ in those moments.
Third, it means we speak about Jesus naturally and faithfully.
Our lives should never be silent about Christ. The world needs both our conduct and our confession. Because we don’t preach ourselves, we preach Jesus.
Fourth, it means we love people on purpose, intentionally.
Jesus was moved with compassion. If we are His witnesses, we MUST learn to see people as Christ sees them. Not as interruptions, but as souls He created.
Fifth, it means we remain faithful over time.
The 5th Gospel isn’t written in a day. But it’s written over years of steady obedience, ordinary faithfulness, and daily dependance on God.

The Final Questions!
If the world were to READ your life THIS week, what would it learn about Jesus?
Would they see a Savior who’s patient, or a believer who’s always irritated?
Would they see a Savior who forgives, or a believer who keeps score?
Would they see a Savior who’s holy, or a Believer who compromises easily?
Would they see a Savior who serves, or a believer who only wants to be served?
Would they see a Savior who loves, or a believer who’s cold and distant?
You aren’t called to SURVIVE till heaven, you’re called to SHINE until heaven. He didn’t leave you here just to OCCUPY space, He left you here to BEAR WITNESS to the Son of God.

Landing the Plane!!!
The first 4 Gospels tell us what Jesus did, His birth, His life, His miracles, His suffering, His death, His resurrection, and His ascension.
The 5th Gospel shows what Jesus can still do through a surrendered life.
He can take a sinner and make him a witness.
He can take a fearful heart and make it bold.
He can take a broken person and make a testimony.
He can take ordinary believers and turn them into living letters of grace. So TODAY, ask God to write His 5th Gospel on our lives.
TODAY, become a 5th Gospel!!!
2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJV) “…behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation…”

THE GOOD NEWS: Re-Ignite The Fire — 4/19/2026

[QUESTIONS]
Q: Am I burning with holy fire and passion for Jesus or has this flame gone dim (or gone out)?
—Do I need God to re-ignite the flame?

Q: Is my mind truly saturated with God’s Spirit?
—If not, then the way I think needs to be renewed and changed!

Q: Have the contemporary customs of this world become influential towards my appetite for Christ and living in holiness?


[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
ROMANS 12:1-2 (NLT)
1And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.
Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
2Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 (NLT)
17This means that anyone who belongs to Christ (living in his ways) has become a new person.
The old life is gone; a new life has begun!


[TPT] - Cross Reference
1Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies?
To surrender yourselves to God to be his sacred, living sacrifices.
And live in holiness, experiencing all that delights his heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.
2Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.


REVELATION 3:15:16 (NLT) 
15 “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other!
16But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!



Lukewarm Defined:
An evident lack of fire and zeal.
When believers shrink back into complacency and comfort.
People who become proud and self-dependent rather than passionately committed and engaged in devotion to Christ!


LUKE 12:35-36 (NLT)
35 “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning,
36as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast.
Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks.

[Be ready with the fire of expectancy & anticipation that burns with desire for Jesus]



NOTES:
Ask the Holy Spirit to re-ignite our appetite for Holiness.


The difference between a casual christian and a sanctified christian is:
-One fulfills the Character of Christ and is devoted to holiness.
-While the other fulfills the desires of the flesh while attending Sunday service.

-One is Transformed — (reconstructed,  re-shaped and totally changed)
-The other is Un-conformed — (not shaped, not molded, not compliant and event resistant)


Matt 17:2  
'2As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. '



KADASH (Kā-DOSH) - Hebrew verb meaning: holy, set-apart, consecrated or sanctified.
The nature of this word focuses on the distinct separation of being casual (or common) to being devoted exclusively to God’s purposes.
—It is used in the context of being consecrated (meaning: dedicated) and ceremonially or morally clean, often implying a purification process.
[Holiness reflects God’s divine nature]




[MAIN REVELATORY FOCUS]:
I have given Jesus to be the sacrificial lamb, the offering, the greatest sacrifice ever given for the restoration and redemption of mankind.
I have given My One and Only Son to be crucified so that sinners can see their sins nailed to a wooden cross.
The stripes of My Son were embraced on Calvary’s cross to demonstrate spotless, untainted, unrestrained love.
Yet there is a nation of people who suffer with a disease.
A disease and epidemic of high-mindedness; where they will not surrender their lives, only giving over a very small part to Me.
Yet I gave you all that I have. I gave Jesus; the ultimate ransom for humanity.
Yet they choose to crucify Jesus afresh by not denying their comfort.
They nail Him to the cross over and over and over again by not denouncing sin.
They reject His faithfulness by ignoring the call.
They jeer and they mock by living in the temperature of a lukewarm dwelling.
Yet He was pierced for all rebellion.
He was crushed so that all could find and walk in TOTAL deliverance.
Yet why do they choose to dwell among the living space of perversion?
Why do they act upon every indulgent desire they feel within?
Am I not enough for them to overcome?
Jesus is the fulfillment and cure to every void and every longing heart.
I want My people to come to a place where I am the Only Thing, the Only One that satisfies every desire, every motive, every longing, every pleasure, every want and every need.
Only when I become your everything will you see the manifestation of My glory in and through your life!
Only then will you feel the completion within you have been looking for.
Only then will you prosper.


*Ask The Lord to drain us of the excess waste and fill us with fresh oil and fresh fire.

ISAIAH 30:1-5, 8-15 and 18-22 (NLT)
[THE REBELLION]
1“What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”
says the Lord.
“You make plans that are contrary to mine.
You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,
thus piling up your sins.
2For without consulting me,
you have gone down to Egypt for help.
You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection.
You have tried to hide in his shade.
3But by trusting Pharaoh, you will be humiliated,
and by depending on him, you will be disgraced.
4For though his power extends to Zoan
and his officials have arrived in Hanes,
5all who trust in him will be ashamed.
He will not help you.
Instead, he will disgrace you.”


[VS 8-15]
[THE WARNING]
8Now go and write down these words.
Write them in a book.
They will stand until the end of time
as a witness
9that these people are stubborn rebels
who refuse to pay attention to the Lord’s instructions.
10They tell the seers,
“Stop seeing visions!”
They tell the prophets,
“Don’t tell us what is right.
Tell us nice things.
Tell us lies.
11Forget all this gloom.
Get off your narrow path.
Stop telling us about your
‘Holy One of Israel.’”

12This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel:

“Because you despise what I tell you
and trust instead in oppression and lies,
13calamity will come upon you suddenly—
like a bulging wall that bursts and falls.
In an instant it will collapse
and come crashing down.
14You will be smashed like a piece of pottery—
shattered so completely that
there won’t be a piece big enough
to carry coals from a fireplace
or a little water from the well.”

15This is what the Sovereign Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, says:
“Only in returning to me
and resting in me will you be saved.
In quietness and confidence is your strength.


[VS 18-22]
[THE BLESSING]
18So the Lord must wait for you to come to him
so he can show you his love and compassion.
For the Lord is a faithful God.
Blessed are those who wait for his help.

19O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious if you ask for help.
He will surely respond to the sound of your cries.
20Though the Lord gave you adversity for food
and suffering for drink,
he will still be with you to teach you.
You will see your teacher with your own eyes.
21Your own ears will hear him.
Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,”
whether to the right or to the left.
22Then you will destroy all your silver idols
and your precious gold images.
You will throw them out like filthy rags,
saying to them, “Good riddance!”


JOEL 2:12-13 (NLT)
12That is why the Lord says,
“Turn to me now, while there is time.
Give me your hearts.
Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,
but tear your hearts instead.”
Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
He is eager to relent and not punish.


COLOSSIANS 2:13-15 (NLT)
13You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away.
Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins.
14He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities.
He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.


LUKE 2:7 (NLT)
7She gave birth to her firstborn son.
She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.



REVELATORY FOCUS:
You are in a full out war.
This is a fierce battle where only the steadfast and upright will survive.
I want America to clean out their closets and go through all personal belongings so I can redefine how I want them to live.
Many have settled into a mold where they have accumulated many idols and gods that sit on their shelves, even gods that are the central hub to their homes which they have no desire to address or deal with.

The evil one is plotting to prey on the weak. (The spiritually compromised)
In your most vulnerable moments is when he seeks to capitalize and unleash
confusion, chaos and contamination to your environment.


The devil wants to deposit his waste on your precious belongings especially on your place of peace, your sanctuary of rest and particularly your commitment to Me.
He literally wants to defecate where you eat, sleep and prepare.
These are intentional attacks and highly targeted spaces; for if he can disrupt your rest, deface your marriage (your family) and cause you to scorn the table where you dine, you have no safe and secure place to rest and refill.

This is why securing all access points is of vital importance.
No amount of physical traps, deterrent or natural strength will cease a full on infestation from multiplying - even in an attempt to slow it down. This is a spiritual war!

Secure every access point.

Stay guarded, alert and in prayer at all times.

This is firsthand how the masses of people in America are living.
Accepting their fate, with no response or counter attack.
This is how marriages are under attack.
Many are living according to their desires but avoiding Mine.
They are calling what makes them feel good into the equation but not giving My Lordship the run of the house.  

So what’s next?
I am giving you a wider and deeper spiritual sensory to discern, even with smell and other ones of your senses:
-areas under attack,
-places of compromise,
-and regions needing repossessed; with the power of My Spirit guiding and leading you.

The times you’re living in are unsafe.
There’s mass manipulation wreaking havoc in every industry.
The only person you can trust is Me.
I will always guide you in truth and lead you to truth.

-I want you to be persistent in your pursuit of Me.
-Don’t let up and don’t let your guards down.
-Stand on My Word and stay the course.

I am faithful and will lead you.
My Word have I placed and written on your heart.
So, continue reading My Word without deviating.
Intensify this.

Because, as the battles intensify, you will need My Word ready within you to go to war.
Have this on the forefront of your mind!
Remember the enemy wants to bring insecurity in you, removing rest and bringing fear to your mind and uneasiness so you can’t enter My rest.
Yet I will lead you into My rest and show you how I want you to stand up against these powers that oppose you.

It starts with:
-leading your home in prayer.
-Worshipping in warfare.
-Then, constantly asking Me for wisdom in every circumstance and situation.

*Leave no open access for the enemy and do not exit My presence.
Stay in it.

This is how you will have victory.
-Jesus

Sunday Message 12/7/2025
Pastor Jay Singh

ECCLESIASTES 12:13-14 (NLT)
13Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty.
14God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.


MATTHEW 24:42 (NLT)
42 “So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming.


2 TIMOTHY 4:2-5 (NLT)
2Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
3For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
4They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
5But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.


COLOSSIANS 4:2 (NLT)
2Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.

[TPT]
2Be faithful to pray as intercessors who are fully alert and giving thanks to God.


1 THESSALONIANS 5:6 (NLT)
6So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.


MATTHEW 26:42 (NLT)
41Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak!”

and his officials have arrived in Hanes,
5all who trust in him will be ashamed.
He will not help you.
Instead, he will disgrace you.”


[VS 8-15]
[THE WARNING]
8Now go and write down these words.
Write them in a book.
They will stand until the end of time
as a witness
9that these people are stubborn rebels
who refuse to pay attention to the Lord’s instructions.
10They tell the seers,
“Stop seeing visions!”
They tell the prophets,
“Don’t tell us what is right.
Tell us nice things.
Tell us lies.
11Forget all this gloom.
Get off your narrow path.
Stop telling us about your
‘Holy One of Israel.’”

12This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel:

“Because you despise what I tell you
and trust instead in oppression and lies,
13calamity will come upon you suddenly—
like a bulging wall that bursts and falls.
In an instant it will collapse
and come crashing down.
14You will be smashed like a piece of pottery—
shattered so completely that
there won’t be a piece big enough
to carry coals from a fireplace
or a little water from the well.”

15This is what the Sovereign Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, says:
“Only in returning to me
and resting in me will you be saved.
In quietness and confidence is your strength.


[VS 18-29]
[THE BLESSING]
18So the Lord must wait for you to come to him
so he can show you his love and compassion.
For the Lord is a faithful God.
Blessed are those who wait for his help.

19O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious if you ask for help.
He will surely respond to the sound of your cries.
20Though the Lord gave you adversity for food
and suffering for drink,
he will still be with you to teach you.
You will see your teacher with your own eyes.
21Your own ears will hear him.
Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,”
whether to the right or to the left.
22Then you will destroy all your silver idols
and your precious gold images.
You will throw them out like filthy rags,
saying to them, “Good riddance!”

23Then the Lord will bless you with rain at planting time. There will be wonderful harvests and plenty of pastureland for your livestock.
24The oxen and donkeys that till the ground will eat good grain, its chaff blown away by the wind.
25In that day, when your enemies are slaughtered and the towers fall, there will be streams of water flowing down every mountain and hill. 26The moon will be as bright as the sun, and the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days in one! So it will be when the Lord begins to heal his people and cure the wounds he gave them.

27Look! The Lord is coming from far away,
burning with anger,
surrounded by thick, rising smoke.
His lips are filled with fury;
his words consume like fire.
28His hot breath pours out like a flood
up to the neck of his enemies.
He will sift out the proud nations for destruction.
He will bridle them and lead them away to ruin.

29But the people of God will sing a song of joy,
like the songs at the holy festivals.

Sunday Message 11/2/2025 - Godly Wisdom and Christ Honoring Character
Pastor Jay Singh

 [MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
JAMES 3:13-18 (NLT)
[True Wisdom Comes from God]
13If you are wise and understand God’s ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.
14But if you are bitterly jealous and there is selfish ambition in your heart, don’t cover up the truth with boasting and lying.
15For jealousy and selfishness are not God’s kind of wisdom.
Such things are earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.
16For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure.
It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others.
It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds.
It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.
18And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.


HEBREWS 12:10-13 (NLT)
10But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness.
11No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful!
But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.

[Reference Proverbs 3:11-12 from last week]
11My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
12For the Lord corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.


MATTHEW 5:8-10 (NLT)
8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.
9 God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.
10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.



NOTES:
Honorable Defined
-Right minded
-Honest
-Trustworthy
-Incorruptible
-Reliable

[HEBREW]
Kavod - (Honorable)
Meaning: Heavy - Weighty - Majesty also translating into Glory!
Referring to a sense of importance, reputation, and dignity.


[FOCUS 1]
-If there's bitter water coming out of the faucet of our lives, we need to ask The Lord to purify us with His Spirit so that living water pours out.

[FOCUS 2]
-Seeking God's advice delivers us from pleasing anyone but Him.
-Seeking God's counsel eliminates any motivation to measure ourselves to anything or anyone other than Jesus.
-Seeking God's wisdom removes confusion and discombobulation, replacing it with clarity, insight and security.

[FOCUS 3]
Real wisdom is determined by Christ's character at work in us and His nature being fulfilled through us!

Sunday Message 10/26/2025
Pastor Jay Singh 

[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
PROVERBS 3:5-12 (NLT)
5Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
6Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.

7Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
8Then you will have healing for your body
and strength for your bones.

9Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the best part of everything you produce.
10Then he will fill your barns with grain,
and your vats will overflow with good wine.

11My child, don’t reject the Lord’s discipline,
and don’t be upset when he corrects you.
12For the Lord corrects those he loves,
just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights.

PHILIPPIANS 2:3-5 (NLT)
3Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.
Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
4Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
5You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

PROVERBS 16:9 (NLT)
9We can make our plans,
but the Lord determines our steps.


NOTES:
To Ask and Implement Daily:

1. Trust The Lord wholeheartedly

Sunday Message 10/12/2025 - Weapons Of War
Pastor Jay Singh

[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
2 CORINTHIANS 10:1-5 (NLT)
1Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.
2Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.
3We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.
4We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
5We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God.
We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.



PSALM 149 (TPT)
[Triumphant Praise]
1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
It’s time to sing to God a brand-new song
so that all his holy people will hear how wonderful he is!
2May Israel be enthused with joy because of him,
and may the sons of Zion pour out
their joyful praises to their King.
3Break forth with dancing!
Make music and sing God’s praises with the rhythm of drums!
4For he enjoys his faithful lovers.
He adorns the humble with his beauty,
and he loves to give them victory.
5His godly lovers triumph in the glory of God,
and their joyful praises will rise even while others sleep.
6God’s high and holy praises fill their mouths,
for their shouted praises are their weapons of war!
7These warring weapons will bring vengeance
on the nations and every resistant power—
8to bind kings with chains and rulers with iron shackles.
9Praise-filled warriors will enforce
the judgment decreed against their enemies.
This is the honor he gives to all his godly lovers.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!


ISAIAH 61:1-3 (NLT)
[Good News for the Oppressed]
1The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted
and to proclaim that captives will be released
and prisoners will be freed.
2He has sent me to tell those who mourn
that the time of the Lord’s favor has come,
and with it, the day of God’s anger against their enemies.
3To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks
that the Lord has planted for his own glory.

[KJV]
3to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

NOTES:
Many don't move in the anointing because of how they are feeling.
-Emotions lie.
-Thoughts lie.
-Feelings are deceptive.

-God's Truth (Word) never lies.
-Jesus never fails.
-The Holy Spirit brings light and clarity.

** Let’s quit obsessing about demons and become obsessed with the presence of God!

**Building an atmosphere of fasting and prayer and stop idolizing talent and step into the anointing!

**Rest and filling up on God's presence prepares an environment.

**A musician and worshippers intercession breaks strongholds and prepares the space for breakthrough (they have a job to do in laying down these foundations before anyone ever shows up).

A Call To Pray (9/28/2025)

[SCRIPTURES]

2 CORINTHIANS 10:1-5 (NLT)
1Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away.
2Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.
3We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.
4We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
5We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God.
We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.


[Don’t succumb to weariness!]

GALATIANS 6:8-9 (NLT)
8Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
9So let’s not get tired of doing what is good.
At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

JEREMIAH 13 (NLT)
Jeremiah’s Linen Loincloth
1This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and buy a linen loincloth and put it on, but do not wash it.” 2So I bought the loincloth as the Lord directed me, and I put it on.
3Then the Lord gave me another message: 4“Take the linen loincloth you are wearing, and go to the Euphrates River. Hide it there in a hole in the rocks.” 5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates as the Lord had instructed me.
6A long time afterward the Lord said to me, “Go back to the Euphrates and get the loincloth I told you to hide there.” 7So I went to the Euphrates and dug it out of the hole where I had hidden it. But now it was rotting and falling apart. The loincloth was good for nothing.
8Then I received this message from the Lord: 9“This is what the Lord says: This shows how I will rot away the pride of Judah and Jerusalem. 10These wicked people refuse to listen to me. They stubbornly follow their own desires and worship other gods. Therefore, they will become like this loincloth—good for nothing! 11As a loincloth clings to a man’s waist, so I created Judah and Israel to cling to me, says the Lord. They were to be my people, my pride, my glory—an honor to my name. But they would not listen to me.
12“So tell them, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: May all your jars be filled with wine.’ And they will reply, ‘Of course! Jars are made to be filled with wine!’
13“Then tell them, ‘No, this is what the Lord means: I will fill everyone in this land with drunkenness—from the king sitting on David’s throne to the priests and the prophets, right down to the common people of Jerusalem. 14I will smash them against each other, even parents against children, says the Lord. I will not let my pity or mercy or compassion keep me from destroying them.’”


1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 (NLT)
17Never stop praying.

(TPT)
17Make your life a prayer.


EPHESIANS 6:18 (NLT)
18Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion.
Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

Sunday 9/21/2025
Word Ministry
Pastor Jay Singh

REVELATORY FOCUS:
In this time I am uncovering mass wickedness and every lurking and antagonizing deceptive thing.
Many are desperate for their miracles to unfold but very few are desperate to be molded in My presence which takes time and processing.
The culture all around is committed where there's a quick fix and personal benefits, but ready to move on when sacrifice and patiently waiting is required.
The majority know of Me, but they don't know Me intimately.
The majority can recite My Word, but there is only a handful who live in the demonstration of The Fear of The Lord.
Many prefer programs over My presence. Many seek position over My power and divine purposes for their lives.

I am looking for a generation who is not just confident in their knowledge of The Word but committed in their obedience to The Word!
A generation of people that aren't just courageous in action but deeply consecrated in devotion to My ways.
I am desperate for a generation who isn't obsessed with pursuing perversion but motivated to relentlessly pursue purpose!
I am redefining the way 'church' looks and operates.
It will require desperate people, moldable people, purpose propelled people to come into this framework.
I want a church who prays and doesn't pretend to flow in the realm of My power.

For My glory is ready to pour out.
It will take a holy fixation of not just your eyes but your lives in every region for My power to break out over you.
I want the church to be undone so I can reform them.

I want surrender.
I need your full heart.

No more perversion, no more pretense, no more propagandas.

Just holiness, sincerity and truth.

Come back to the foundation of The Gospel!

-Jesus

MAIN SCRIPTURES

1 PETER 2:1-12 (NLT)
1So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech.
2Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation.
Cry out for this nourishment, 3now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.

[Living Stones for God’s House]
4You are coming to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God’s temple.
He was rejected by people, but he was chosen by God for great honor.
5And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple. What’s more, you are his holy priests. Through the mediation of Jesus Christ, you offer spiritual sacrifices that please God.

6As the Scriptures say,

“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,
chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”

7Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.
But for those who reject him,

“The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.”

8And, “He is the stone that makes people stumble,
the rock that makes them fall.”

They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.
9But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people.
You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession.
As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

10“Once you had no identity as a people;
now you are God’s people.
Once you received no mercy;
now you have received God’s mercy.”

11Dear friends, I warn you as “temporary residents and foreigners” to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.
12Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors.
Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world.


GALATIANS 5:24-25 (NLT)
24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives


ROMANS 8:12-14 (NLT)
12Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.
13For if you live by its dictates, you will die.
But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.
14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.


[REVELATORY HIGHLIGHT ]
My people would rather live in the projects of (spiritual) poverty, settling for a home in the slums rather than embrace the requirements to live a life thoroughly sanctified and prepared for glory.
--They have given permission to the flesh to weaken their worship, to influence their decisions, to drain out their prayer and replace a true relationship with The Savior.

Holy Spirit (Wk.4) Message Notes - 8/24/2025
Pastor Jay Singh


MAIN SCRIPTURES
JOHN 10:27-30 (NLT)
27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
28I give them eternal life, and they will never perish.
No one can snatch them away from me, 29for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else.
No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand.
30The Father and I are one.”


JAMES 4:8 (NLT)
8Come close to God, and God will come close to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.


KEY POINTS:

[FOCUS 1]
Allowing God to speak opens access for His Spirit to deposit His insight in us and bring relevancy to all that is needed.


[FOCUS 2]
Giving way to the voice of The Holy Spirit will bring:
-Direction
-Clarity
-Wisdom
-Comprehension
-Peace


[FOCUS 3]
God doesn't want you to live in the torment of your sins.
He wants you to bring them to Him so He can wash you clean.


[FOCUS 4]
Sometimes we just need to accept that God’s denial of a thing is really His deliverance out of something!

Holy Spirit (Wk. 3) Message Notes - 8/17/2025
Pastor Jay Singh 

OBJECTIVE:
-Being moldable.
-To confront everything you are up against will take understanding and taking on Christ's character.
-To keep pursuing growth and maturation in Jesus.
-To keep pressing on towards the mark of the high calling that is in Christ Jesus.
-Don't let your faith and walk get stagnant but keep pushing and pressing past every obstacle with faith and purpose.
-Sight towards the power they have access to.
-Getting back to the roots of the cross.
-Getting back to the central focus of the gospel.
-Declaring the power in the resurrected Christ and not tolerating any opposing agenda.


SRIPTURES:
2 PETER 1:3-11 (NLT)
[Growing in Faith]
3By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life.
We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
4And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises.
These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.


1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 (NLT)
13The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.
And God is faithful.
He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand.
When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.


**When we step into the promises of God we then encounter partnership with God.


ROMANS 1:20-24 (NLT)
20For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.
Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature.
So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
21Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like.
As a result, their minds became dark and confused. 22Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.
23And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
24So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.


[Continued- 2 Peter 1:5-11 - PRIMARY TEXT]
5In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises.
Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, 6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, 7and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
8The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But those who fail to develop in this way are shortsighted or blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their old sins.
10So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen.
Do these things, and you will never fall away.
11Then God will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.


1 CHRONICLES 28:9-10 (NLT)
[This verse quotes King David instructing his son Solomon to serve God with a wholehearted devotion and a willing mind,
highlighting the importance of sincerity and willingness in serving God.]
 
9“And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately.
Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind.
For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought.
If you seek him, you will find him.
But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
10So take this seriously.
The Lord has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary.
Be strong, and do the work.”


PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14 (TPT)
12I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own. 13I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.
14I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.


ROMANS 8:5 (NLT)
5Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.

Holy Spirit (Wk.2) Message Notes - 8/10/2025
Frontlines Church
Speaker: Pastor Jay Singh


MAIN SCRIPTURES
2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6 (NKJV)
3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

[vs 4-5 NIV]
4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.


KEY POINTS:
[FOCUS 1]
God is calling us out of shallow Christianity into Christ defined living!
-We undermine The Gospel by thinking truth but not demonstrating it.
-We undermine The Gospel by speaking of the power of The Holy Spirit but not submitting to it.
-We undermine God's Spirit by being emotionally inspired but not spiritually aligned.

[FOCUS 2]
Acknowledgement is NOT transformation.
Surrendered obedience to Jesus is where true transformation is (becoming undone by God's Spirit).


[FOCUS 3]
Sin takes a physical and emotional toll wherever there is unconfessed and unrepentant sin.

PSALM 32:3-4 (NLT)
3When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long.
4Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
Interlude

5Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.


[FOCUS 4]
Satan can't steal from you what you aren't willing to surrender to him.

Some of the areas we have tolerated - giving ourselves over to the coiling spirits are:
Tolerance to: comfortability with compromise.
Tolerance to: non-confrontational passivity - giving access to tormenting spirits.
Tolerance to: pet sins and accommodating the temperature of their environment (coddling).
Tolerance to: unprocessed wounds, unhealed emotions and spiritual dysfunction.
Tolerance to: Lukewarm and shallow christianity.


JAMES 4:7 (NIV)
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.



[DEFINITION]
'Spirit'
Hebrew - 'Ruach'
Greek - 'Pneuma'
Translation: “Wind,” and  “Breath.”


THE PYTHON SPIRIT
-Wears you down.
-Weakens your prayers and worship.
-Leverages your sin to slowly and gently wrap around you until you suffocate. (A coiling spirit)

-Harassing and nagging behavioral patterns often disguised as normal and non-lethal.
-Carries a false prophetic sensory with heaviness, oppression and bondage as its habitation.
-Its aim is to take out those who are real threats to the powers of darkness, choke out God's outpouring and stunt revival from breaking out!

****-Its primary purpose is to squeeze out the breath of The Holy Spirit within the life of the believer, severing the line of communion and covenant with Jesus in prayer and intimacy.



THE HOLY SPIRIT
-Builds you up. (Jude 1)
-Empowers your prayers and worship. (Romans 8)
-Convicts of sin. (John 16)

-Produces the fruit of The Spirit and spiritual gifts (inspiration). (Galatians 5)
-Frees those in captivity. (Isaiah 61)
-The Spirit of Truth drives out the spirits of deception, false prophecy and suffocation [to those that are fully submitted to God]. (1 John 4)

Holy Spirit [Wk.1] Message Notes 8/3/2025
Pastor Jay Singh

[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
JUDE 1:17-23 (NLT)
[A Call to Remain Faithful]
17But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted.
18They told you that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to satisfy their ungodly desires.
19These people are the ones who are creating divisions among you.
They follow their natural instincts because they do not have God’s Spirit in them.
20But you, dear friends, must build each other up in your most holy faith, pray in the power of the Holy Spirit, 21and await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will bring you eternal life. In this way, you will keep yourselves safe in God’s love.
22And you must show mercy to those whose faith is wavering.
23Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment.
Show mercy to still others, but do so with great caution, hating the sins that contaminate their lives.


[MAIN REVELATORY FOCUS]:
There’s an aggressive python spirit coming against the church.

The hissing pythons that are raising their heads are demonic spirits trying to attach themselves to the vulnerable and compromised that refuse to address and confess their sins.

These are pet snakes that people are bringing into church with them and not only blocking themselves from receiving what My Spirit is distributing but also deflecting shame onto others creating a spirit of chaos which is targeting a strain on the conviction of man.

PYTHON SPIRIT (or 'spirit of python')
-Wears you down.
-Weakens your prayers and worship.
-Leverages your sin to slowly and gently wrap around you until you suffocate. (A coiling spirit)

-Harassing and nagging behavioral patterns often disguised as normal and non-lethal.
-Carries a false prophetic sensory with heaviness, oppression and bondage as its habitation.
-Its aim is to take out those who are real threats to the powers of darkness, choke out God's outpouring and stunt revival from breaking out!

*-Its primary purpose is to squeeze out the breath of The Holy Spirit within the life of the believer, severing the line of communion and covenant with Jesus in prayer and intimacy.


These slithering spirits are keen and wish to prey on the weak and strong alike; waiting out the moments of vulnerability to slip in and slowly wrap themselves around the necks of My children.
There is a weapon in worship that requires authenticity and confession that will pull these spirits out, exposing them for what they are and faith in Jesus will bind them and cast them out.

JAMES 5:16 (NLT)
16Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.


THE MODEL OF AUTHENTICITY AND CONFESSION
-Prayer and discernment is what makes us aware of an evil spirit.
-Intercession and worship is what pulls them out.
-Holy confession that Jesus Christ is Lord establishes the territory (holy ground).
-Surrendering to Jesus' Lordship and living in His Lordship protects, covers and preserves our lives from re-attachment, re-injury and re-entry of ungodly spirits.

Cast out the spirits of unbelief and self-righteousness.

-Demons have zero gravity against a surrendered heart and humble spirit. (They hate it when you love people through their flaws and faults - they squirm when we give grace to error but thrive on tolerance to sin).
-When a persons life worth is embedded is Jesus only (and not personal gains), it suffocates every strategy of darkness.

This is the rapid attack going around in the church at large.
I have given you divine power and holy discernment to walk into every situation and declare My Lordship and order.
The only way these relentless spirits of prey will let up is when you look up and declare My name.


Remove man made formulas and structure and come into alignment and spiritual warfare!

This is a serious season where the weak will get eaten up and only the prudent and steadfast will survive.
You must draw close to Me.
This is why many are getting attacked; hit with illness and chaotic situations.
They have stepped out of My covering and protection.
They believe with their minds - in a theory driven formation but not with a heart driven determination.
I need all of you, all of My people.
Not just subjective parts and moments.
I want all of you.
Surrender must be the focus.

There will be a mass drawing and pulling in of the wayward as you continue in warfare to all I am requiring!

-Your Master!

MAIN SCRIPTURES
1 PETER 5:5-11 (NLT)
5In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders.
And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for

“God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.”

6So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
8Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
10In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. 11All power to him forever! Amen.


EPHESIANS 5:21 (NLT)
21And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.


PROVERVS 9:10 (NLT)
10Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.


LUKE 22:31-34 (NLT)
31 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat. 32But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail. So when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen your brothers.”
33Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go to prison with you, and even to die with you.”
34But Jesus said, “Peter, let me tell you something. Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.”


1 JOHN 1:9 (NLT)
9But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness (unrighteousness - NIV ref.)


2 Timothy 2:12-13 (NLT)
12If we endure hardship,
we will reign with him.
If we deny him,
he will deny us.
13If we are unfaithful,
he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny who he is.


REVELATION 21:4 (NLT)
4He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

PURPOSEFULLY HOLY: Moving Forward [week 2]
5/25/2025
Pastor Jay Singh


MAIN SCRIPTURES
PSALMS 51:9-12 (NLT)
9Don’t keep looking at my sins.
Remove the stain of my guilt.
10Create in me a clean heart, O God.
Renew a loyal spirit within me.
11Do not banish me from your presence,
and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

12Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and make me willing to obey you.

4 Key's of Forward Motion:
-Remove (Ungodliness)
-Create (Holiness)
-Renew (Covenant)
-Restore (Obedience and Joy)


MATTHEW 7:7-8 (NLT)
7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
8For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.


KEY POINTS:
[EMPHASIS 1]
-The highest call anyone could have is the one that is marked by God's presence.


[EMPHASIS 2]
True anointing only comes with closeness and holy union with Jesus.
Anything outside of this is counterfeit.


[EMPHASIS 3]
-We must never disrespect God's authority.
Disobedience suffers significant consequences; including the removal of divine favor and earthly blessings from our lives.

--A lack of grief over rebellion and sin can hold us hostage from receiving God's grace and mercy.


REVELATION FOCUS:
It is truth that the greatest way to know what an emotional move vs. a Holy Spirit move is by what one does in their response.
The true test comes and is passed when there is application and a step made towards the direction prompted by The Spirit.
It is also true that many will pour out their minds to Me but their hearts are unchanged.
Many will release emotional stress and pressure to Me but don't move forward with purpose and mandate.
I want people to move forward and not just stay on standby mode.
I want no bystanders in My presence.
Keep moving, keep stretching up in faith, keep seeking, don't stop knocking and always ask!
I'm waiting on My people to acknowledge their need for Me.
This must happen every day - not just at the reception of salvation.
The more you honestly declare your need for Me, the more you will find that your eyes are aimed correctly and your heart will be in a place to respond desperately.
That is the love union I want with you.

Depend on Me.

Most people these days build upon the sand - too many ministries are birthed out of "opportunistic ventures" but not Holy Spirit appointment.
Too many people are seeking for recognition but won't pay the price in secret.
I will promote those who seek Me.
In My time and way I will elevate and bring visibility to the one who searches and pursues Me desperately.
To the one who obeys, I will pour out infinite provision.
To those who wait on Me, I will renew with My mighty power and strength.

I will preserve the ones who persevere.
And to those who honor Me, I will honor them.

For My Holy Word says: 'seek and you will surely find.'

My mercies are all that you need and My grace is your supply.

-Your Faithful Father

PURPOSEFULLY HOLY [Week 1]
5/18/2025
Pastor Jay Singh


[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
COLOSSIANS 3:12-17 (NLT)
12Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you.
Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
15And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
16Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives.
Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives.
Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
17And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.



NOTES:
God has called, chosen, hand selected and pre-destined His people for a holy future and extraordinary purpose.


Holiness - Set apart for the purposes and pleasure of The Lord (only).


[FOCUS 1]
With everything we face in life we can either have a holy or unholy response.

Where we are commanded to be clothed in the 5 things listed in verse 12, when we are under spiritual attack (which is often with the world we live in), we see that the following is true:

Tenderhearted Mercy - Judementalness

Kindness - Meanness

Humility - Arrogance [Complacency]

Gentleness - Harshness and Agression

Patience - Discontentment and Irritability


1 PETER 1:14-16 (NLT)
14So you must live as God’s obedient children.
Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires.
You didn’t know any better then.
15But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.
16For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.”

[TPT]
14As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better.
15Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you.


ISAIAH 64:8 (NLT)
8And yet, O Lord, you are our Father.
We are the clay, and you are the potter.
We all are formed by your hand.

COLOSSIANS 3:10 (NLT)
10Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.



[FOCUS 2]
Many responses are produced from an emotional fixation where The Lord desires His people to take on a Jesus only fixation towards every application of their lives.

2 CORINTHIANS 3:16-18 (NLT)
16But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
18So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord.
And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.



[FOCUS 3]
-We will always lack true peace until we make a definite decision to become more like Jesus and allow Him to Lord over us.

--Surrendering and living within His Lordship!


[MAIN REVELATORY FOCUS]:
There is a forecast of severe spiritual attacks coming and the church needs to be ready.
Those that are emotionally propelled will get mauled over and those who choose to stand firm in faith and in My protection will be immovable.

'Never stop praying.' (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT)

Don't give in to idleness and life's luxuries.
I will rescue those who sacrifice their comfort.
There is an epidemic of complacent christianity on the rise and truth is being presented as myths and fables rather than the standard and authority.

[Complacency is oftentimes mistaken for laziness - but it can produce laziness but in actuality it means self-congratulating and self-satisfied]

It's time to engage in holy warfare and remove Jezebels control from the nation of America.
This has been the plague that has poisoned this nation for far too long.
Remove the Ahab spirit from the church and from the United States.
Pray with a purpose.

It is time to be clothed in truth and humility so the battle can be won in the worship stance of the saints.

-Yeshua


Spirit of Jezebel [Ref. 1 and 2 Kings]:
-Control
-Confusion
-Corruption
-Contamination

Also defined as:
-Idolatry
-Seduction
-Witchcraft
-Death

-Pushing people towards demonic influence and desperation resulting in spiritual/ natural famine.

--The Jezebel spirit has such a wide operation ranging from sexual slackness to the teaching of false doctrine.


Spirit of Ahab:
-Fear and manipulation
-Weakness of willpower
-Spinelessness
-Indifference (passivity) towards sin and evil
-The abdication of the leadership of men in their families and households (meaning: to stand down, vacate or surrender from leadership)

Sunday Message 5/3/2025
Pastor Jay Singh 


[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
COLOSSIANS 3:1-17 (NLT)
[Living the New Life]
1Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
2Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
3For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
4And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.
5So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.
7You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.
8But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
9Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
10Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him.
11In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
12Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you.
Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

NOTES:
[FOCUS 1]
Don't trust your instincts, trust in God's plan.
Don't trust your motives, trust The Holy Spirit.
Don't trust your thought process, trust God's process and ask for wisdom.
Don't have a mind of your own, obtain the mind of Christ.

In everything, trust Him!


[FOCUS 2]
-God doesn't want us to trust Him with selfish motivation but holy expectation.
-He is glorified when our wills are aligned with His rather His with our own.


**To want good things, we need to desire Godly things.

[FOCUS 3]
In everything we must understand that we either glorify The Savior or grieve The Holy Spirit.

--Knowing this alone should activate a fresh level of conviction in our lives.


Everything needs to be filtered through The Holy Fear and Awe of God!


[FOCUS 4]
A holy fear will posture us to bow low and access greater places of humility we never thought possible!
--This should motivate us to live a life of reconciliation rather than contention.
--Instead of retaliation I will be driven towards repentance.
--Rather than demotivation, God will inspire us with desperation.
--Instead of offense, we will be quick to forgive. [Even when there is no apology from the other party - set yourself free by giving every offense to Jesus.]

The fear of The Lord.

Called To Faithfulness: Whats The Point!?
3/30/2025
Pastor Jay Singh


MATTHEW 22:37 (NLT)
37Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’


Q: What's the point!?"
What is the point if The Spirit of God doesn't move in what we do?

-There's a cost to serving The Lord.

-There is a cost to seeing His Spirit move in power!


[MAIN REVELATORY FOCUS]:
The modern church mentality has been that I owe them a move because they are in (operational) position and 'ready' to receive, but yet they are not in relationship with Me and expecting from a wrong posture.
Operational position does not equate to relational readiness. (The appearance)
Jesus knew what it was to count the cost as He embraced the work to be done on the cross.

My church has settled for empty "encounters" and seeker friendly teachings that benefit peoples emotions but will not place them towards transformation and high accountability.
In a corrupt world of endless options, people want things served to them how they want it and when they want it, otherwise they will just leave and continue on their chase of "happiness" and "fulfillment" rather than embracing 'covenant and commitment'.

What if my emotions don't correlate with what God has required of me?
--I need to deny myself, take up my cross and follow Jesus. (Matt 16:24)

Many do not know how to adore Me through covenant. They want to adore Me through blessings and favor but not earnest desperation.
There is a cost to covenant, yet many want to serve Me leisurely if I fit into their schedules and plans.

The work that was finished on the cross was demonstrated out of a love covenant.
It was done with tears and sweat drops of blood.
It wasn't convenient, nor was it leisurely.
It wasn't out of obligation but an act of desperation.
The Son of Man didn't come to be served but to serve. (Ref. Matt 20:28)
This was the greatest demonstration of love that counted the cost.

I want them not to serve Me for what I can give to them.
I want them to love Me just for who I am.

There are many experts in business practices, but not many that will run after Me wholeheartedly unless there is a personal benefit or gain.

-Yahweh


JOHN 12:35-36 (NLT)
35Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you.
Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going.
36Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.”


We cannot claim to love what we do not pursue.


Jesus is not just here to supply breakthrough without a purpose attached to it.
He is looking for people who FOLLOW-through.


Reference from Chris Durso
-We've confused moments of power with a lifestyle of surrender.

--We cry at the altar... but still live under the curse in private.
--We fall under The Spirit... but don't walk in step with Him.
--We want Jesus as savior but not as Shepherd.

Deliverance from addiction, shame and generational bondage is supernatural, immediate and necessary.
--BUT deliverance is the door, not the destination.

You're not done when the curse breaks.
You've only just stepped into the process.

Spirit Of Offense And Bitterness
3/23/2025
Pastor Joshua Hollis

Main Scriptures:
“One day Jesus said to his disciples, “There will always be temptations to sin, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting! It would be better to be thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around your neck than to cause one of these little ones to fall into sin. So watch yourselves! “If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive. Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Christian research agency Barna Group says: a significant number of people who leave their churches cite negative experiences as a key reason. Their studies have found that nearly 40% of people who’ve stopped attending church regularly point to “personal hurt” as a primary reason. LifeWay Research, another organization that focuses on church trends, found that 66% of churchgoers who stopped attending church regularly reported they left because of personal conflict or painful church experiences.

Screen point #1: 
Being offended is not a sin itself, but the fruit produced in your life when you pick up an offense is sinful.

-Excerpt from “Bait Of Satan” by John Bevere
“Offense itself is not deadly, if it stays in the trap. If we pick it up and consume it and feed on it in our heart. Offended people produce much fruit such as hurt, anger, outrage, resentment, jealousy, strife, bitterness, hatred and envy. Some of the consequences of picking up an offense are insults, attacks, wounding, division, separation, broken relationships, betrayal and backsliding.”  


Screen point #2: 
The Devil does not simply try to adjust our behavior. He seeks to disrupt our posture or position as sons and daughters of God.

The Church Of Laodecia
“I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth! You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Pride masks the true condition of your heart.

Personal testimony of the Charismatic Church.

Screen point #3: 
No man, woman, child, demon, or even the Devil himself can keep you out of God’s will. Only you can.

“Knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

MAIN [On Screen] REVELATION FOCUS:
My people are scattered. They have so wrapped themselves in a spirit of offense that they’ve learned to live with an offended and wounded spirit. Some even say that is part of “God’s plan.” This is not true. Although My Church is destined to experience the furnace of affliction, and to share in My suffering, they are not meant to succumb to the trap of offense. They are meant to walk in the freedom of forgiveness just as I forgave them and wash them clean from all of their transgressions. I do not hold or remember any repented sin or offense against my children. My design for my church is to be healed from the inside out. Not to carry offense to their grave. My children will never experience the fullness of life that I’ve intended, carrying such heavy burdens and resentments. It’s time for My church to make it right with Me(God) and to be reconciled with each-other. As the Earth, as you know it enters its final hours, my church must not take the bait the evil one is placing amongst the saints. Stay close to me, keep your conscious clear with your brothers and sisters and evict the spirit of offense using the authority of My name(Jesus). I love you. I’m coming back for you. I will deliver you from the hands of the enemy.

-Jesus

Called To Faithfulness 3/16/2025
Focus: Spirit Driven
Pastor Jay Singh

[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
1 JOHN 3:4-10 (NLT)
4Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.
5And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.
6Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin.
But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.
7Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.
8But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
9Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them.
So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.
10So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil.
Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.


2 SAMUEL 11 (NLT)
[David and Bathsheba]


MATTHEW 23:28 (NLT) 
28Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.


MATTHEW 5:27-28 (NLT)
27 “You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’
28But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.


JEREMIAH 17:9-10 (NLT)
9“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things,
and desperately wicked.
Who really knows how bad it is?
10But I, the Lord, search all hearts
and examine secret motives.


2 Timothy 3:1-5 (NLT)
1You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.
2For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good.
4They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
5They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!


1 John 3:8
But Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.
-The works of carnality, the works of hypocrisy, the works of sin and oppression!



NOTES:

[EMPHASIS 1]
If we are not Spirit Driven, we will succumb to the bait of the flesh.
--True disciples follow by the implementation of Christlike lifestyle and not the driving carnality of the flesh.


[Highlight Focus 1]
David's Fall Into Hypocrisy
--It started with his eyes which rejected sanctification.
--It filtered down to his heart which got entrapped into adulterous meditation.
--Then motivated an outward act of lustful fornication.
--Which then resulted in an innocent life being murdered to then cover up the tracks of sin.


HYPOCRISY DEFINED:
The act of pretending to be what one is not.
-Hypocrisy is the act of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs that one doesn't actually follow or act upon, often used to deceive or mislead others.

The word "hypocrisy" comes from the Greek word "hypokrites," meaning "stage actor, pretender, dissembler". 



[Highlight Focus 2a]
In an instant, David rejected the power that could have made him godly and took the bait of the flesh.

[Highlight Focus 2b]
The act of sin didn't start at the point of the physical action of sex but in the mind and heart which then enabled the act of physical sin.

[Highlight Focus 3]
The church is currently operating in a form of godliness but they are not under Godly formation.
This will take a total breaking of pride and everything self seeking.


[EMPHASIS 2]
-Allowing a carnal mind to rule us openly rejects the power of The Holy Spirits work within us and opens a realm for the enemy to camp out and take up residence.

Sunday Notes 3/9/2025
Pastor Jay Singh

[MAIN PASSAGE FOCUS]:
LUKE 10:17-20 (NLT)
17When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!”
18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning!
19Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them.
Nothing will injure you.
20But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.”

[TPT]
17When the seventy missionaries returned to Jesus, they were ecstatic with joy, telling him, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we commanded them in your name!”
18Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground.
19Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority.
20However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of heaven and that you belong to God’s kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”


MATTHEW 4:1-11 (NLT)
[The Temptation of Jesus]


NOTES:
-The devil stands NO chance when we give him NO room.
--We need to pray that Christ would occupy every space of our minds and inspire our thinking so we don't give any foothold to the enemy to walk in.

-Some of the accusers strategies are to make the children of God feel unwanted, unneeded, unloved and unaccepted.
--But God calls you holy, chosen and dearly loved (Ref Colossians 3:12 NIV).
—“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name. You are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)

-Knowing The Word of God and having His word occupy our minds.


PRIMARY EMPHASIS
-When the oppressor comes with temptation or false accusation, we need to both know and live out what is written before we can declare truth with Godly authority to the enemy.

-We need to come under Godly authority before we can declare with God given authority.

[Reference LUKE 10:19]
19Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority.
20However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of heaven and that you belong to God’s kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”


--He hasn't called us to be independent from Him but to be ONE with Him! [STEADFASTNESS]


JAMES 4:7-8 (NIV)
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Come near to God and he will come near to you.

Holy authority is void unless we come and stay near to God.


Q: WHAT IS 'COMING NEAR TO GOD?'

COMING NEAR TO GOD IS
1-Relinquishing control
2-Honest conversation
3-Transparency before The Lord
4-Admitting your sin and guilt
5-A cry for help
6-Willingness to undergo life change (processing)

CALLED TO FAITHFULNESS (3/2/2025)
Focus: Divine Calling - Holy Motive
Pastor Jay Singh

Scriptures
JAMES 3:13-17 (NLT)
1 CORINTHIANS 12:7-11 (NLT)


EMPHASIS AREA 1
Each and every one of the gifts God has given us must operate out of a love union with Jesus and a holy fear.


PROVERBS 9:10-12 (NLT)
10Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.
Knowledge of the Holy One results in good judgment.

11Wisdom will multiply your days
and add years to your life.
12If you become wise, you will be the one to benefit.
If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer.


EMPHASIS AREA 2
Operating in presumptuousness will inflict pain to those in the body, but continually coming under Christ's guidance and authority will pave a path to victory.


EMPHASIS AREA 3
We have a divine calling but need consecrated motives.

'Steadfastness' - Unwavering dependence on The Lord.


JOHN 17:21 (NLT) - Prayer of Jesus
21I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

CALLED TO FAITHFULNESS (Sunday 2/16)
Focus: Called To His Purpose 
Pastor Jay Singh

MAIN PASSAGES: 
ISAIAH 61: (NLT)
[Good News for the Oppressed]
1The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me,
for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed.

[TPT]
1The mighty Spirit of Lord Yahweh is wrapped around me
because Yahweh has anointed me,
as a messenger to preach good news to the poor.
He sent me to heal the wounds of the brokenhearted,
to tell captives, “You are free,”
and to tell prisoners, “Be free from your darkness.”


(Recapping Last Sunday's Passage)
[GALATIANS 5:16-21 - NLT]
16So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
17The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires.
These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.
18But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear:
-sexual immorality,
-impurity,
-lustful pleasures,
-20idolatry,
-sorcery,
-hostility,
-quarreling,
-jealousy,
-outbursts of anger,
-selfish ambition,
-dissension,
-division,
-21envy,
-drunkenness,
-wild parties, and other sins like these.
Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

EMPHASIS AREA 1
**I cannot release freedom over the oppressed, the captives and the prisoners if I have not overcome what is holding me hostage.


EMPHASIS AREA 2
**If every area of our lives isn't thoroughly swept by The Holy Spirit, I subject others to what I'm carrying and worse - even greater seducing spirits.
'Own it and move forward by giving permission to Jesus to wash us with His blood - His precious sacrifice to cleans and cover us.'

-The best way to help others is to work on ourselves first so we are rightly positioned through Christ's sanctification process.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1 (AMP)
1But the [Holy] Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons.



1 JOHN 1:7 (NLT)
7But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.


1 PETER 1:18-19 (NLT)
18For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.
19It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.


JEREMIAH 20:9 (NLT)
9But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire.
It’s like a fire in my bones!
I am worn out trying to hold it in!
I can’t do it!
