Breaking Barriers in Spiritual Warfare: The Path to Healing and Revival
In turbulent times, the call for faith, service, and spiritual renewal grows louder. From celebrating volunteers to sharing miraculous testimonies, the church remains a beacon of hope. But what does it mean to roll away the stone and usher in a new season of spiritual revival? Let’s dive in.
Honoring Faithful Service in God’s Kingdom
At the heart of our ministry lies a profound respect for those who dedicate their lives to serving others. Volunteers are the backbone of our church, embodying the core values of family and excellence. Whether welcoming newcomers with a smile or coordinating Sunday services, their efforts inspire us all.
This year, we celebrated exemplary servants of God, such as John and Deborah Schilling, presented with the Golden Donut Award for their tireless commitment to hospitality. We also honored Will Lucas, our “Rookie of the Year,” for his leadership in youth ministry and audiovisual efforts. These examples remind us that service is not just a duty—it’s a calling.

Spiritual Warfare and Breaking Barriers
Life is filled with challenges that test our spirit. These obstacles often manifest as spiritual barriers—things that hinder God’s power from working in our lives or the lives of others. In such moments, engaging in spiritual warfare becomes crucial.
We are reminded of John 11:39, where Jesus commands, “Take ye away the stone.” The stone signifies any obstacle—be it doubt, fear, or sin—that blocks our path to spiritual restoration. Removing these barriers doesn’t only require faith; it demands action. When we push through, we allow God’s power to revive what seemed lost or lifeless.

Testimonies of Healing and Victory
One of the most moving parts of any service involves hearing stories of faith and deliverance. This week, Brother Jeremy shared a miraculous testimony of healing from cancer. After facing despair, he surrendered his situation to God, praising Him in the midst of uncertainty. The result? Doctors opened him up only to declare, “We found nothing.” His testimony serves as a powerful reminder of God’s ability to intervene when science and logic seem to run out.

A Call to Spiritual Renewal
The Gospel is more than a message—it’s a movement. We’re living in an age where global events align with Biblical prophecy. From geopolitical shifts to personal transformations, these moments point to the urgency of revival. However, revival doesn’t begin in politics or corporate institutions; it starts in the church pews and alters.
To achieve this renewal, we must activate our faith in small yet meaningful ways—be it through daily prayer, fasting, or acts of kindness. As believers, we carry the power to break spiritual strongholds and bring healing to our communities.

Reaching the Next Generation
Our youth face a world filled with distractions and temptations. Programs like Camp Joshua will provide opportunities for young men and women to grow in faith while enjoying activities that engage their spirit and body. By investing in their spiritual growth, we’re equipping future leaders to navigate the world with God’s wisdom.
Taking the First Step
If there’s anything we can learn from Lazarus’ historic Biblical account, it’s this: God’s power can bring life to what has been declared dead. But before the miracle comes the command: “Roll away the stone.” For today’s church, this might mean removing doubt, confronting sin, or stepping out in faith.
Spiritual warfare requires persistence, but it also requires the support of a community. We invite you to stand in prayer for your loved ones who are lost, broken, or away from God. Believe that their story is far from over and that God’s voice can reach them just as it did Lazarus.

Conclusion: A Revival for All Nations
We live in prophetic times. Around the world, people are seeking answers, and the answer is Jesus. Revival isn’t just a desire—it’s a necessity. It begins with us rolling away the stones in our lives and interceding for others. Together, we can witness a spiritual awakening that transforms individuals, families, and nations.
Let’s commit to the fight for spiritual renewal, one prayer and act of faith at a time. Nothing is too hard for God. Will you join us in this divine mission?
