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.

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.

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.

Stand your ground.

Stand on God’s Word.

Keep praying.

Keep worshipping.

Keep pressing forward.

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!" ❤️🙌🏻

Breathe, Pray, and Let Go!

I woke up from in the wee hours of the morning unable to fall back asleep earlier, and this Scripture immediately came to my mind:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” — Philippians 4:6

I know when life's trials hit, it is easy to feel anxiety, doubt, worry, and stress.

After praying over so many needs, I felt these simple words in my spirit:

BREATHE.

PRAY.

LET GO.

Just breathe.

Remember all the times God has seen you through a dark place before. Remember the prayers He has answered. Remember the doors He opened. Remember the times you thought you weren't going to make it, but somehow—God brought you through.

Breathe. Then pray.

Tell God exactly what has you worried. Tell Him what hurts. Tell Him what you don't understand. Tell Him what you are afraid of. Ask Him to take over the situation.

Pray.

And finally… Let go.

Give God every care, every concern, every fear, every unanswered question, and every situation you cannot control.

Then trust Him to handle what you cannot.

I'd love to tell you that going through tough times is always easy for me. I'd love to say that I always handle every trial with grace and faith.

But that wouldn't be honest.

I'm human.

Sometimes my emotions act up first. Sometimes I complain. Sometimes I crumble. Sometimes I start to fall apart.

But I've learned that I don't have to stay there.

I can shift my focus.

I can turn back to God's Word.

I can pray.

I can praise.

I can breathe.

And I can let go.

The only way I make it through the difficult seasons and find my peace again is by turning my focus completely back to Jesus.

This is something I've had to learn and grow in over time.

Maybe you're in a difficult place tonight.

Maybe you're carrying something nobody else knows about.

Maybe you're dealing with sickness, loss, disappointment, family struggles, financial pressure, difficult decisions, or simply the exhaustion of trying to keep going.

Maybe the enemy has filled your mind with lies telling you that nothing will ever change.

Shift your focus.

Don't focus on what the enemy says.

Focus on what Jesus says.

Don't focus on what you cannot do.

Focus on what God can do.

Don't focus on how big the battle is.

Focus on how big your God is.

And tonight, whatever you have need of, call upon the name of the Lord.

BREATHE.

PRAY.

LET GO.

Then keep your eyes on Jesus.

You may not see what He's doing.

You may not feel what He's doing.

You may not understand what He's doing.

But God is working. He never stops working.

Keep your focus on Him.

Because when your focus shifts back to Jesus, you may discover that the situation hasn't changed yet—but you have.

And sometimes that is where the breakthrough begins. I'm praying and interceding for you.

Whatever you're facing, give it to Jesus.

Shift your focus.

Breathe.

Pray.

Let go.

And trust the One who has never stopped working.

It is Your Choice!

There are so many struggles we face in today’s world.

Unexpected sickness. Unexpected trials. Unexpected loss. Difficult decisions that others may not understand. Moments when we are simply struggling to keep going while the enemy fills our minds with lies, distractions, fear, doubt, and discouragement.

Sometimes life gets so heavy that we become so focused on the problem that we lose sight of the One who holds the answer.

But I believe we are in a desperate hour where a FOCUS SHIFT needs to take place.

In the middle of the toughness of life, the pain, the disappointment, and even the ugliness of circumstances, we have to shift our focus back to Jesus and the power of His Holy Spirit.

Because when our focus shifts back to Him, something changes.

God moves.

Lives are changed.

Faith rises.

Prayer becomes deeper.

Praise becomes stronger.

And we begin to remember that what we are facing is not bigger than the God we serve.

The enemy has so many people bound by hindrances and distractions that we have become exhausted from fighting them. Some have become so discouraged that they've simply stopped trying to push through.

But what if we shifted our focus?

What if instead of staring at what the enemy is doing, we started looking at what Jesus is able to do?

What if we stopped focusing on how impossible the situation looks and started focusing on how powerful our God is?

People will tarry in prayer when they believe God is still able.

People will praise Him in the middle of the storm when they remember who is in control.

People will keep pressing when their eyes are fixed on Jesus instead of their circumstances.

The Lord has been dealing with me about this focus shift all year long. He has been molding me, teaching me, and reminding me over and over again to shift my focus back to Him.

And I've learned that when I do, it becomes a whole lot easier to push through and carry on when the unexpected happens.

God is teaching me to give Him my all—even when others around me aren't giving Him their all.

Because:

Their praise doesn't determine your praise.

Their prayer doesn't determine your prayer.

Their peace doesn't determine your peace.

Their focus doesn't determine your focus.

Their walk doesn't determine your walk.

Your relationship with God is your responsibility.

Your praise is your choice.

Your prayer is your choice.

Your focus is your choice.

And sometimes you have to make the decision to keep seeking God even when nobody else around you is doing it.
