I Know What the Holy Ghost Can Do!

I don't speak about deliverance merely because I've read about it in the Bible. I've experienced the presence and power of God for myself.

There have been seasons when I walked into church carrying things nobody else could see. I knew how to smile. I knew how to shake somebody's hand. I knew how to say, “I'm doing fine.” But underneath it all, there was a battle going on.

I have known what it feels like to pray while still feeling the pressure. I have known what it is to worship while my mind was fighting discouragement. I have had moments when I didn't know how God was going to bring me through. But then the presence of God came into the room.

There is something about getting into an atmosphere where the people of God are praying, worshiping, and allowing the Holy Ghost to move. Sometimes before the preacher ever reaches the pulpit, you can feel faith beginning to rise.

I've experienced those moments when prayer stopped being routine and became a cry from deep within my spirit. I've experienced the Holy Ghost giving strength when I didn't have strength of my own.

And I've learned something: You can walk into the presence of God carrying a burden that you don't have to carry back out.

I've seen God replace heaviness with praise. I've seen tears of discouragement become tears of worship. I've seen fear lose its grip when the name of Jesus was called upon.

And there have been times when all I knew to do was pray until something changed inside of me.

That's why nobody can convince me that the Holy Ghost isn't real. Nobody can convince me that prayer doesn't work. Nobody can convince me that Jesus doesn't still deliver.

I've felt His presence. I've experienced His strength. I've watched Him bring me through battles I didn't think I could survive.

I may not be able to explain everything God has done for me, but I can testify like the man in John 9:25: “One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”

I know what I was carrying. And I know what Jesus did for me. 🕊️ 🙌🏻❤️

Defeating The Oppressor!

A. Defeating the oppressor.

You were not called to live under what Jesus gave you authority to overcome.

Key Scripture: “The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.” — Psalm 9:9 (KJV)

There are times when the enemy tries to **oppress** us—to weigh us down with fear, discouragement, intimidation, weariness, confusion, and heaviness. His goal is not simply to trouble us; he wants that trouble to become a weight that keeps us from moving forward in what God has called us to do.

But oppression does **not** have the final word.

Jesus does.

Acts 10:38 tells us that Jesus “went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

Notice that Scripture doesn't say Jesus taught people how to become comfortable with oppression. **He delivered them from it.**

The enemy would love to convince you that because you have been fighting something for a long time, you must learn to live with it. But the length of the battle does not determine the outcome. God does.

B. Recognizing the oppressor.

Sometimes the greatest victory begins when we recognize what is happening. The enemy wants to intimidate you so you become afraid to move. He wants to manipulate you so your emotions control your decisions. And he wants to dominate you until you begin believing you have no authority over what is attacking you.

But Jesus said: “Behold, I give unto you power… over all the power of the enemy." — Luke 10:19 (KJV)

You don't have to surrender territory God has already given you. 

C. Fight From a Place of Victory.

David faced Goliath knowing the giant was bigger than he was—but David also knew **God was bigger than the giant.**

David declared: “The battle is the LORD'S.” — 1st Samuel 17:47 (KJV)

Sometimes we become exhausted because we are trying to fight spiritual battles entirely in our own strength. There comes a point when we have to declare: “This battle belongs to the Lord. I will stand. I will pray. I will worship. I will obey. But I refuse to carry what belongs in God's hands.”

D. Praise Is a Weapon.

The enemy wants you silent when you're hurting.

Praise anyway.

He wants you discouraged when you don't see an answer.

Worship anyway.

He wants you to believe nothing is changing.

Pray anyway.

Isaiah 61:3 speaks of receiving “the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."

Sometimes your praise isn't a response to what you can see. It's a declaration of what you believe.

You're saying:

*God is still good.

*God is still faithful.

*God is still my healer.

*God is still my provider.

*God is still fighting for me.

*And the enemy will not have the final word.

E. Don't Let the Battle Intimidate You.

You may feel pressure, but pressure doesn't mean you're defeated. You may be tired, but tired doesn't mean you're finished. You may have been knocked down, but that doesn't mean you have to stay down.

Micah 7:8 says: “Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise.”

The enemy may have fought you, but he doesn't get to determine your future. Don't let the devil intimidate you, manipulate you, or dominate you.

Stand your ground.

Keep praying.

Keep worshiping.

Keep believing.

Keep moving forward.

-------------

Suggested Prayer: "Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my refuge, my defender, and my deliverer. I refuse to allow fear, heaviness, discouragement, or intimidation to rule my life. Give me spiritual strength to recognize the attacks of the enemy and courage to stand on Your Word. Every weight that has tried to hold me down, every lie that has tried to control my thinking, and every attack meant to stop me—I place it under the authority of Jesus Christ. When I am weary, strengthen me. When I am discouraged, remind me of Your promises. When the enemy tries to intimidate me, remind me who I am in You. I will not retreat. I will not surrender. I will keep praying, keep praising, keep believing, and keep moving forward. The battle belongs to You, Lord, and I trust You for the victory. In Jesus' name, Amen."

📝 Remember: You may be experiencing oppression, but oppression does not own you. Jesus is your Deliverer, and whom the Son makes (sets) free is free indeed!

Overcoming the enemy's Distractions!

It seems like the enemy always tries to distract and hinder, especially when God is moving among His people. But we have to recognize the distractions for what they are and **keep pressing forward!** 🙌🏻

The first two nights of our revival, we’ve weathered the distractions — water from an AC unit that stopped draining and began leaking through one of our lights, and then the electricity went out the second night of revival.

But guess what? **The power of God was still there!** 🔥🙌🏻

The enemy may try to interrupt the service, distract our minds, frustrate us, or get us focused on everything happening around us—but he cannot stop what God is doing!

We pushed through. We kept worshipping. We kept praying. We kept pressing in.

We have to overcome the distractions of the enemy. We can’t keep falling for his tricks. We have to recognize when something is trying to pull our attention away from what God is doing and make the decision to keep our eyes on Jesus.

The enemy wants us distracted.

God wants us focused.

The enemy wants us discouraged.

God wants us pressing forward (encouraged).

The enemy wants us to quit.

God has called us to stand.

We can't get so comfortable in our comforts and anmenties, especially when it comes to our churches, that we forget the focus and that is to worship our one true God. 

The lights may go out, but the Light of the World is still shining!🙌🏻🔥

**Don’t let the devil intimidate you, manipulate you, or dominate you!**

He may try to distract you. He may try to discourage you. He may try to make you question what God is doing. But you don’t have to fall for his tricks.

The enemy may try to create distractions, but he cannot stop the move of God! 🙌🏻

We have to recognize his tactics and refuse to give him the attention he’s looking for. "Don’t let the devil intimidate you, manipulate you, or dominate you."

We are called to: **stand firm, fight the good fight of faith, and keep our eyes on Jesus.** 

**The power of God is greater than every distraction the enemy can bring!**

Keep pressing. Keep standing. Keep fighting.

**God isn’t finished yet!** 🙌🏻🔥

An On Time Revival!

From Monday night’s revival with Bro. Barry Danner. September 21, 2026.

I’m still overwhelmed by what God did. I woke up the next morning with such a thankful heart, still processing it all and knowing that God isn’t finished yet! 🙌🏻

I’m so thankful for my Pentecostal heritage—for the faith I was raised around, for the power of the Holy Ghost, for the altar, for prayer, and for generations who taught me to believe that God is still a healing, delivering, restoring, miracle-working God.

I’ve never been slain in the Spirit three times in one service, but God is revealing the purpose behind each time, and I have been soaking it all in.

The first time was about being a "fighter" and having the longevity to keep going; God giving me the strength and perseverance I need to keep fighting the good fight of faith. I remember Bro. Danner speaking that over me and again saying how I was the “Shammah of the church.” God had positioned me to fight. There is such a supernatural strength that I feel regarding that.

The second time was about "physical healing", with the reminder that diseases were leaving me. I remember the prayer cloth being in my hand during that time. And that I was entering into a progressive healing.

The third time was about a "greater anointing". A couple of the ladies visiting our revival were praying for me, and they said that while I was slain in the Spirit, I was singing in the Spirit. They said it sounded like "The Lord Will Provide" in another language, which was exactly what was being played on the piano and sung at the same time during altar call. I don’t remember it all, but when I got up, I had a clarity in my mind that I haven’t had in quite some time.

I pray that I continue walking in God’s anointing and being the fighter He has called and set me apart to be. The days before His return will not get easier for Christians, and we must position ourselves to fight, stand firm on God’s Word, and trust in His protection.

I want to truly be free from my past hurts, anxiety, and depression, and I praise God that "freedom came last night". 🙌🏻 I am holding onto the promise that when the enemy comes in like a flood, God will raise up a standard against him.

During Monday, the enemy fought me hard. I couldn’t stay awake all day, and I didn’t even want to get ready for revival. But I heard the Lord say, “Get up and be the fighter I’ve called you to be.”

So I chose to obey. I chose to push through.

And God was so faithful to meet me there last night. ❤️🙌🏻

I’m thankful that He never leaves us nor forsakes us—and that’s a promise! He hears us, strengthens us, and helps us through every struggle.

I know He has begun a progressive healing in me physically, and it’s coming in waves. I feel it in my bones.

I’m thankful for an "on-time God at an on-time revival". God has set our church apart, and we have to continue to link arms in these last days and fight the good fight of faith together.

"Holy Spirit, come rest on us.

You’re all we want!" ❤️🙌🏻
