According to Scripture, we are worse than foxes when we follow our own spirit and make ourselves blind to God. A person without God’s vision and only looking inward will surely fall, slip, and trip and knock down everything in their path. Why? Because self, which is a foolish prophet, is blinding and destructive. When we prophesy to ourselves out of an unclean heart, void of God’s will, we have chosen a life of woe (Ezekiel 13:1-8). It may look like we’ll make it or can avoid

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1) By definition, a body is the fullest, deepest, richest, main, central, or principal part of something. When God is asking us to present ourselves, our bodies to Him as a living sacrifice, He is not talking about sloppy seconds. He wants a presentable body, the best from us and of us. Recently, at

Around this time last year, I had to purchase a new computer after facing some unexpected career and life changes. I named my profile for the new computer “BETTER.” Why? Because my Pastor, Chief Apostle H.C. Gunn, had recently told me that the Lord spoke “BETTER and BETTER and BETTER” over my life in every area despite the trials I was facing at home, at work, mentally, and health-wise. He told me that no matter what it looked like, everything and every area in my life was go

In medicine, a flesh wound is considered an injury that only damages the skin or underlying tissue and isn’t deep enough to harm internal organs. But when it comes to our spiritual walk with God, the things of the flesh can do more damage to the soul than we realize. 1 Peter 2:11 (KJV) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly (carnal) lusts, which war against the soul. A while back, Chief Apostle H.C. Gunn told us that our souls can be wou

Think about your favorite movie, song, restaurant, store, etc. It probably only took one experience with these things for you to be convinced that they were good and that you liked them. Think about an elevator or a car. It probably only took one ride and your successful arrival at your destination for you to be convinced they worked. This is a great correction to us all. And a call to repent. Why does it take so many experiences, messages, and deliverances from God for us t

In the time of tribulation, aka the end times, the mark of the beast will be displayed on those who will be deceived and give their allegiance and worship to the antichrist. Even some who turned to God will give in to the temptation to have the right to buy and sell in the economy rather than stand for Christ and against evil (Revelation 13-14). No one wants to believe they will accept that mark. But the possibility is there if we don't arm ourselves against that mark now an

One recent Sunday, our Pastor, Chief Apostle H.C. Gunn said, "Don't be a post, be a pillar." Let's look at the difference between them. A pillar is solid, often made of concrete and stone, and can carry the weight of monuments and large structures. It is not easy to destroy or knock down. A post is often made of metal and wood. It is generally smaller and can support things like fences, smaller homes, and porches. When exposed to the elements of life and nature, a post is mor

Are you ready to come out of poverty? I came across a message taught by our Pastor, Chief Apostle H.C. Gunn, on January 20, 2019, that gave the solution: Fix your witness. Have you ever thought: Why do I seem to have a good job, make good money, work hard, but still feel poor or not have what I think I should? The answer is in your investments. You're not investing in the right thing: The Word of God. He said, "You can be in spiritual poverty even when you make good money bec

I am blessed to be able to help take care of my niece, Ruby, while her parents are at work, teaching and witnessing to their students during the day. Ruby is not even two years old yet. But each day, God shows me the Godly character he has in mind for his people through her. Gratitude, Respect, and Care One of her favorite words is “Thank you.” She says it every chance she can get. She even says thank you when you allow her to give you something. She is grateful if you give

In the early 1980s, a gospel song by the Winans family titled “The Question Is” was released. To this day, it continues to be sung around the world. The song reflects God’s desire to know the commitment and answers in someone’s heart toward Him. Some of the questions include: Will you ever leave Me? Will you do My will? Do you believe I’m coming back soon? The Lord is still asking these questions—and more—today. While reviewing my notes from recent services over the past few
