The protective nature of love is revealed through discernment. God’s love does not leave us vulnerable to deception; it equips us to recognize what is true and what is counterfeit. As Jesus warns in Matthew 7:15–16 (KJV), “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits…” Love sharpens our spiritual awareness, so we are not captivated by appearances, charisma, or empty words. Instead, it teaches us to test the spirit behind what we see and hear with the Word of God. When you are rooted in the love of God, you are not easily misled, because His love anchors you in truth and gives you the ability to perceive beyond the surface. This is why according to scripture we are likened to trees. A tree does not strive to prove what it is, it simply produces fruit according to its nature. No tree can disguise or hide its fruit; over time, what it truly carries will be revealed. Psalm 1:3 (KJV) declares, “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” In the same way, people cannot conceal their spiritual nature forever. The fruit we all bear whether love, integrity, humility, and truth, or manipulation, division, untruth and deception will eventually be made known. God’s love calls us not only to bear good fruit but also to discern fruit in others. This discernment is not rooted in judgment, but in protection. It keeps us from aligning with what looks right but is not rooted in Him. Be encouraged because the love of God you have is actively guarding you through discernment. You are not called to live suspicious, but you are called to live aware. As you remain planted in Him, your roots go deeper, and your sensitivity to truth becomes sharper. What once may have confused you will now become clear, and what once may have drawn you will no longer have power over you. Trust the fruit, not just the appearance. If it were possible the very elect would be deceived but we are not deceived. The same love that causes you to grow will also protect you from what is not like Him, keeping you fruitful, grounded, and secure. So let us love the way Jesus loves, no compromise, no hidden agenda, being letting our light shine so the Father will be glorified. It is getting darker by the day, but if we continue to study God’s Word and live God’s truth, man will be edified and Christ will be glorified.

Acts 4:34 declares, “Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold.” This scripture reveals more than provision it reveals a spiritual transformation of belief and a culture of unity among the saints. This is not about people who attend the same church, this is about people who serve the same Jesus!! When we truly believe what God has spoken, we step into an environment where all needs are met, not by chance, but through divine alignment. The early church understood that remaining “among them” was not optional it was essential. Their faith was not isolated; it was cultivated in community, and that community became the channel through which God supplied every need. It is easy to sit among those who constantly rehearse lack, because their language feels familiar. But when we surround ourselves with conversations rooted in doubt, fear, and limitation, we unknowingly reinforce the very conditions we desire to escape. Scripture warns us that evil communication corrupts good manners, and that corruption is not always loud, it is often subtle, shaping our expectations until we settle for less than what God has promised. Let those people go! If we are not careful, we will normalize deficiency simply because we are planted in an environment that agrees with it. But be not deceived, there is another company! A company of believers whose speech, faith, and expectation align with heaven’s provision. Lord I am in the company! This is the hour to come from among what has been draining your faith and connect with those who believe God at His Word. There is a grace that flows in the right company, a strengthening, a sharpening, and a divine supply that cannot be accessed in isolation or unbelief. When you align yourself with those who carry faith, you position yourself in an atmosphere where lack is not sustained, because God Himself is moving for and through His people. Stay among them. Believe with them. Walk with them. And watch how what once seemed lacking begins to overflow, because you chose to dwell in the company of those who trust God completely.

In Jesus’ prayer in John chapter 17, Jesus isn’t speaking casually, His prayer is specific. He is interceding for us as our High Priest. When He says, “Holy Father, keep them… keep them from the evil one” (John 17:11,15), He is placing believers inside of His divine custody. That means our protection is not based on how we feel, what we see, or even the intensity of the attack, it is rooted in the authority of the One who prayed. Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today and forever. Yes, the enemy is angry with but so what. Scripture never hides the face we have an adversary. But anger does not equal access. The fact that you belong to Jesus Christ means there is a boundary the enemy cannot cross without permission. We have entered the safety zone. What Jesus prayed still stands. His words did not expire after the moment, and they still continue to speak. This is why the enemy fights your mind, your confidence, and your identity because if he can’t remove you from God’s hand, he will try to make you forget you’re in it. Hallelujah! You’re in the Efficacious, Powerful, Sustaining, Keeping, Protective, Delivering Hand of the Almighty God! So, the saints must stand anchored in this truth: you are not just hoping to be protected you are already covered. The promise is already yours! Your life is wrapped in a prayer spoken by Jesus Christ and recorded for our benefit to understand WE WILL NOT FAIL BECAUSE JESUS NEVER FAILS! When fear rises, answer it with what Jesus already said. When opposition increases, remember you are being kept, not by your own strength, but by the faithfulness of God. You are in covenant with God and He will not disappoint you! Prepare for the overflow! And those that were in service tonight "It's Already Done"!

Scripture calls us into a life of Power that is sustained by prayer, not just visited by it. As Jesus Christ declares in Gospel of Luke 18:1, “men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” This reveals that prayer is not occasional it is essential for endurance, clarity, and continued deliverance. When we remain consistent in prayer, we stay connected to the power of God that destroys yokes and cycles, removes burdens, and strengthens our inner man. Deliverance is not just a moment it is a lifestyle of indefatigable communion with God. The more we pray, the more we are aligned, and the more we are empowered to walk in freedom. We must agree with God that his way of deliverance is the only way to living a life with permanent breakthrough. At the same time saints, Scripture reminds us in Galatians 6:9, “let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” We must understand, this promise is tied to doing well according to God’s standard, not our own belief system of justification. We cannot define “well doing” by outside accolades we receive, personal feelings, or comparison. That is why Paul the Apostle warns in Second Corinthians 10:12 that those who measure themselves by themselves are not wise. True effectiveness is not measured by others or even us; it is measured by alignment with Holy Spirit in the Word of God. Prayer keeps us in that alignment so that our “well doing” remains rooted in the truth God’s Word and not in human pride. Hear me saints, your consistency in prayer produces power, even when you cannot immediately see it. This is why you must have faith in God’s Word and not in what you see. When you remain faithful, refusing to faint and choosing to walk according to God’s standard, deliverance will not only touch your life but flow through it. We need to destroy these chains of bondage that create barriers in our mind and doubt in our spirit. Do not grow weary, and do not fall into the trap of comparison. Stay in the place of prayer, stay in obedience, and trust that your due season is NOW. God is strengthening you NOW, refining you NOW, and positioning you to walk in both deliverance and authority NOW, but you cannot FAINT! You must be steadfast and unmovable always abiding in the work of the Lord. This work is Holy! Keep praying, keep standing, and keep walking by grace through faith because it is through this posture that the power of Almighty God is released in you.

In Book of Amos 3:3, Scripture declares, “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” This reveals that agreement is not optional saints, it is essential for movement with God. The Father is calling for us to choose a side. We cannot continue to walk in disagreement with the Spirit of God, His will, and His requirements while expecting to experience His favor and direction. True alignment means bringing our thoughts, desires, and decisions into harmony with His Word. When we agree with God, we gain access to His path, His presence, and His promises. Disagreement will create some distance, but agreement positions us to walk closely with Him. There are our NOW moments when agreement with God requires us to disagree with ourselves. Our feelings, past experiences, and even our own understanding can conflict with what God is speaking. Yet as Jesus Christ reveals truth, we are called to surrender every internal contradiction and come into alignment with His voice. This is the process of transformation, and we are choosing God’s truth over our comfort, His direction over our preference. It is not always easy, but it is necessary. Agreement with God will often require letting go of who we have been so we can step into who He is calling us to be. It is time for us to BECOME! Be strengthened today people of God because this is your moment to cross over into greater identity and purpose. CROSSOVER!! God is calling you higher, into the fullness of becoming His sons, as revealed in Romans 8:19 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God”. This requires courage, obedience, and a willingness to become someone you have never been before. You have not been this way before. None of us have, and it is exciting to be chosen. As you choose agreement with God, even over yourself, you will find that He empowers you to walk in truth, newness, authority, and clarity. Let go of resistance, embrace alignment, and step forward boldly because in your agreement with Him, you are becoming everything He has called you to be. Sign the agreement with your Yes and seal it with your obedience. Amen.
