Deliverance Power

250th Independence Day

This Fourth of July, Robbie and Crystal had the opportunity to minister in the park, declaring the goodness of God over our nation. In Dayton, Washington, Crystal sang two powerful songs, giving glory to God and the Lord Jesus Christ: 'God Bless the U.S.A.' and 'It's Time To Go Back.' Her voice lifted the truth that this nation was founded on a foundation only God can restore. Robbie delivered the invocation and prayer, declaring that this is the time to wake up. There are forces working to strip away our freedom, but this fight will not be won or lost at the White House. It will be won or lost at our house, and in the house of the Lord. In this message, Robbie calls every believer who knows that Jesus Christ is King to rise up and advance His Kingdom in every sphere of life: our homes, our schools, our government, our culture. The Church was never called to retreat. We were called to occupy until He comes. To anyone watching or listening, who does not yet know Him: the greatest thing you can do for yourself, for the generations that follow you, and for this nation as a whole is simple. Receive Jesus Christ. Believe the gospel. Everything changes from there. Christ Is King. Live Like It. #ChristIsKingLiveLikeIt #CiKm #FourthOfJuly #KingdomAdvance #ChristIsKing

Kingdom Wisdom

Kingdom Wisdom What happens when much of the Church gets their definition of Christianity from a culture that hates Christ?  The same thing that happens in Romans 1 -- suppression leads to spiral, and the spiral leads to destruction.  For generations the wisdom from beneath has been discipling many believers, redefining love, redefining peace, redefining the very mission of the Church, until a counterfeit Christianity emerged in much of the Western world that is passive, retreating, and harmless to the kingdom of darkness. But something is shifting.  In many places, the Church is waking up, not to a new theology, but to an old one.  Rejecting the earthly, sensual, demonic wisdom that has held her captive, and returning to the wisdom that is from above. Kingdom wisdom.  The kind that built civilizations, broke principalities, and turned nations toward Christ. It still works.  The King has not abdicated.  The commission has not been revoked. And the gates of hell have not been promised victory -- we have. #KingdomWisdom #ChristIsKing #ChristIsKingLiveLikeIt #CiKM

Ambassadors

Ambassadors At the birth of the Church, demon worship and human sacrifice covered every continent.  Then the Church advanced -- and the world changed. The Gospel of the Kingdom proved itself as the most powerful civilizational force in human history. But in our generation, many have forgotten who we are. Romans Chapter 1 describes a spiral of destruction that begins when a culture suppresses the truth. We can see that road clearly today. But there is an off-ramp -- and it is the Gospel.  The Church is not a bystander to cultural collapse. We are the answer God has sent. We are the Body of Christ, and where the Body shows up and holds the line, the spiral stops. We are not waiting for a solution. We are the solution. In this message, Pastor Robbie Patterson draws from the Book of Joel and 2 Timothy Chapter 2 to expose three types of men -- and Satan has two of them working for him.  ➡️The passive man who retreats.  ➡️The aggressive man who destroys.  But God is calling you to be something else entirely -- the assertive Kingdom man.  The Ambassador of Jesus Christ who advances the Gospel with purpose, authority, and love. We are living inside Joel's prophecy right now. On the Day of Pentecost, Peter stood up and declared, This is what Joel was talking about. The Spirit was poured out, the Church was born, and the advance began. Joel's next chapter maps the spiritual warfare that followed -- the same warfare Jesus described, the same battle laid out in the letters to the churches.  That war is still being fought. And we are in the middle of it. Darkness was defeated at the cross.  The mission was not retired -- it was launched. People are waking up across America.  Joel said it -- beat your plowshares into swords. This is our window. Before the King returns to fully establish His reign, we are called to live as His ambassadors in a fallen world.  Not passive.  Not reckless.  ➡️Assertive. Purposeful. Unashamed. That is not a burden. It is an honor. It's time to be an Ambassador. #ChristIsKingLiveLikeIt #CiKM #Ambassadors #Ekklesia #GospelOfTheKingdom

Raging Nations

Raging Nations -- Psalm 2, Romans 1, and the Church's Mission Psalm 2 opens with the nations raging against the Lord and His Anointed, refusing His rule, demanding their chains be broken. Heaven's response isn't alarm, it's laughter, the laughter of one who knows exactly where that refusal leads. In this teaching, we trace that path straight into Romans 1. The coalition is the same on both ends: "let us break off his bands" in Psalm 2 is the same demand as not retaining God in collective knowledge, teaching, law, and the public square in Romans 1. The nations want the bands broken, so God answers, He gives them over, and the bands come off exactly as asked. But that's not the end of the story. Paul opens Romans declaring himself indebted to Greeks and barbarians, the wise and the unlearned, the very nations under judgment, and unashamed of the one gospel strong enough to reach them. We'll trace this all the way through Acts 4, where the early church prays Psalm 2 under persecution, and into Revelation, where Psalm 2's rod-of-iron rule is finally and fully revealed. And here's what that means for us, right now. What an honor it is to be alive in this fallen world at this moment, surrounded by the enemies of God, with the opportunity to put on His armor (Ephesians 6:10-18) and wield His sword (Ephesians 6:17). This is a privilege. Today, we can store up treasures in heaven that will never decay and that no one can steal. Raging nations. A God who answers the demand for freedom from His rule by releasing it, and a church sent with a gospel that can still turn raging nations to "kiss the Son... and be blessed." Our generation isn't fully grasping this yet. But it's waking up. And when it does, it will change the world. This is what time it is, and this is our mission in it.

Christendom: Christ or Chaos

Christendom:  Christ or Chaos What we now call "Western civilization" was once known by its true name, Christendom.  When those who despised the inheritance of Christ were handed control of education, curriculum, and the training of the next generation, the first thing they did was erase that name.  Not by accident. By design.  Sever a generation from the root, and you sever them from the life it produced. In this teaching, we open Romans 1:18 through the end of the chapter -- Paul's unflinching account of what happens to any culture, society, or nation that will not retain God in their knowledge.  But before Paul gets to the downfall, he sets the stage. He declares that he is a debtor -- to the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the learned and to the unlearned.  He is not talking about individuals only.  He is talking about cultures.  Whole peoples.  Whole civilizations.  And the only thing he has to offer any of them is the gospel, which is why he is not ashamed of it. It is the power of God. And it is the only thing that can stop a people from walking the road to destruction he is about to describe. Then he describes it. The phrase is deliberate: they would not retain God in their knowledge, the collective knowledge of a people.  What they put into their laws.  Their schools.  Their public square.  Paul keeps saying they and them -- the plural is not accidental.  This is a nation. A society.  A culture making a choice.  And when God is removed from that foundation, He does not beg to stay.  He releases them to themselves. And Paul lists exactly what follows.  Read the list. Then look around. This is not a history lesson.  This is a diagnosis -- and a warning to those who refuse to learn from it. But we do not end in the ruins. We end with the Church.  Because the Church is waking up.  The Spirit of God is moving.  What we are witnessing is not the final decline -- it is the shaking that precedes revival.   The Church is rediscovering the gospel of the Kingdom -- not the gospel of compromise, not the gospel of retreat, but the full, conquering message that Jesus said would disciple nations. The foundations can be rebuilt. But first we have to tell the truth about how they were torn down.
