Acclimate for Transformation
The Thought for Today:
Our Claim Has Been Processed (Week 3)
Scripture: Colossians 1:13-20 (NASB) He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

Today, let's talk briefly Satan and his army ability to hinder our processes of transformation. Before deliverance through transformation can begin, one must examine step one which is being delivered from or rather casting out the spiritual influences that either: possess non-believers; demonize or control believers; dominate or rule over territories and systems (finances, education, family, health, etc.). Because we have not thoroughly done a good job in recognizing who we are, Satan and his army will always continue to hinder our processes of transformation. Why? Because his overall agenda is to obtain dominance and trans-generational allegiance. His assignment is to fight and frustrate the purposes of God by any and all means (i.e., sickness, delay, car accident, mental illness, procrastination, fear, etc.); mainly to stop us from coming to the knowledge of God or our Lord Jesus Christ or frustrate Believers, efficiency in growth and maturity (John 17:3). There is an old saying that goes, "what you don't know, won't hurt." However, "what you don't know" is called ignorance and being ignorant to the principles of God and His Kingdom, really does hurt us. Therefore, considered Colossians 1:13-20, and arm yourself likewise with this piece of light. Pray, that the fruit or revelation of this Light empowers you to transform and accept Our Lord's claim about your victory settlement.​​
Deliverance Through Transformation (Week 2)
Deliverance requires expansion and restructuring (when life is asking you to grow and to get more precise about what you're doing or building). Expansion stretches your reach, your influence, your capacity. Restructuring sharpens your boundaries, your systems, your sense of what’s essential. Remember, People with small callings get small transitions. People with expansive, layered, spiritually-rooted callings get these multidimensional upgrades.
Let's talk briefly about Deliverance through Transformation. Deliverance through transformation is really step two of one's journey. For the sake of this conversation, we are just showing you the seed packets before planting because a lot of work has to be done prior to step two. Before deliverance through transformation can begin, one must examine step one which is being delivered from or rather casting out the spiritual influences that either: possess non-believers; demonize or control believers; dominate or rule over territories and systems (finances, education, family, health, etc.). Because we have not thoroughly done a good job in recognizing who we are Satan and his army continues to hinder our processes of transformation. For example deliverance through transformation requires a reorientation of our spiritual understanding where after the demonic influences have been cast out we then open ourselves to the nature and character of God, along with His' principles of the Kingdom. This is important because transformation closes the door of ignorance and empowers believers to rise above the influence of Satan and his army. So today, I want you to reconsider, before expanding and restructuring, what negative thoughts you often entertain on a regular basis. Is it procrastination, is it doubt, fear, guilt, shame, hatred, anger, bad health, abuse, rejection. Well, let me tell you, it doesn't matter what the negative thoughts are if we have not taken the time to cast out the negative demonic influences who have permission to continue staying or returning there. Read Matthew 12:43-45; Matthew 10:1; Luke 10:19 (ESV). If there are any hesitations with you embracing the last 2 scriptures, then in your prayer time, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the spirit that lingers or dominates in that area of your life. After casting it out, remind yourself of the authority you have through Christ (Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 1:3-14)
​
Understand the Doorway for Negative Influence:
Matthew 12:43-45 (ESV): “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation.”
Now consider this (Your Authority):
Matthew 10:1 (ESV) And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.
Luke 10:19 (ESV) Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Ephesian 3: 3-14 (ESV): Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us[b] for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known[c] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ[d] 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth in him. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee[e] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,[f] to the praise of his glory.
Welcome to a Multidimensional Upgrade (Week 1)
Romans 13:11-14 (ERV): I say this because you know that we live in an important time. Yes, it is now time for you to wake up from your sleep. Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost finished. The day is almost here. So we should stop doing whatever belongs to darkness. We should prepare ourselves to fight evil with the weapons that belong to the light. 13 We should live in a right way, like people who belong to the day. We should not have wild parties or be drunk. We should not be involved in sexual sin or any kind of immoral behavior. We should not cause arguments and trouble or be jealous. 14 But be like the Lord Jesus Christ, so that when people see what you do, they will see Christ. Don’t think about how to satisfy the desires of your sinful self.

The Armor of Light consist of at least 3 major components: The Word of God, The Blood of Christ, and the Name of the Lord. But before putting on the Armor of Light it is important that we begin to experience deliverance through transformation. Deliverance in this context is not fighting to obtain victory, but it is manifesting and operating the victory that is already given. Deliverance requires expansion and restructuring (when life is asking you to grow and to get more precise about what your doing or building). Expansion stretches your reach, your influence, your capacity. Restructuring sharpens your boundaries, your systems, your sense of what’s essential. When they show up at the same time, it usually means you’re stepping into a season where the old architecture can’t hold the scale of what’s coming next. It’s not collapse — it’s renovation. And renovation is messy, but it’s also deeply intentional. When we expand, everything connected to us tends to stretch with us (i.e., ministry, identity, roles, responsibilities), they all start recalibrating around the version of you that’s emerging. When everything around your requires your attention or is moving at once, that usually means you’re in one of those rare threshold seasons — the kind where life doesn’t ask you to choose a single area to grow in, but instead invites your whole ecosystem to evolve. People with small callings get small transitions. People with expansive, layered, spiritually-rooted callings get these multidimensional upgrades.

Corporate Fasting & Prayer
Informational Guide
(Click to View or Download)
The church will corporately fast every Wednesday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The purpose of the corporate fast is to help us bring our bodies, appetites, or desires (both physically and spiritually) under subjection which in turn will allow our spiritual man to grow because then we become more dependent on God. This biblical practice and principle also centers on helping us draw closer to God so that we may know His will for our lives and this ministry.
Again this isn't mandatory, but I am asking you to walk with me through this process. If you can't fast for any reason, whether it is due to health or just lack of discipline, choose a specific time where you cut off all distractions and allow that moment to be your special time with God to pray or read/study God's word. For some it may be 5 mins, for others 1 hour to 12 hours. Just make it count.
