Greetings Beloved of God! Happy Thursday!
For the past several weeks, I’ve been reporting on some of the incredible Kingdom victories happening across our nation, and this past week there were many more.
Not only have more demonic altars been torn down via the relentless efforts of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, but by the grace of God, as of today, the altars of pharmakeia and the altars of foods sacrificed to idols, are about to be torn down as well.
This is some of the greatest news I’ve ever heard for our nation, and how amazing that I’m getting to celebrate this news during the same month that I’m also celebrating 25 years of being cancer free.
On this note, I find it quite amazing that the Lord made it clear through His prophets that in the last days we would be surrounded by people deceiving us into pharmakeia, sexual immorality and ultra processed/genetically modified foods, (i.e.- foods sacrificed to idols):
“But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. Revelation 2:14
“But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” Revelation 2:20
“And the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery (pharmakeia)” Revelation 18:23
*As a theological sidenote- foods sacrificed to idols does have a broader meaning and application than just this, but this is certainly part of it*
And as someone who suffered greatly (and nearly died) at the hands of this evil agenda, I see this as one of the greatest acts of mercy God could give our nation in these wicked times.
In addition to this, how amazing is it that on Friday, our national government decreed that they will be actively working to undergird organizations led by the people of God…so that we can do even greater works of ministry.

This move reminded me of a message I shared in December about how God has called Trump to be a Cyrus in our nation, and to help the people of God rebuild and restore the nation according to the plans of Heaven. You can see that message here:
So cool to see it actually happening!
And, in the same week, in true Cyrus fashion, Trump met with the King of Jordan and had a very fruitful conversation about how they could work together in the days to come:
This is very interesting given that Jordan has tremendous authority over what happens on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Maybe this partnership is setting the stage for an agreement to allow the Jews to build their Temple. Let’s see…
In other news, my hometown Chiefs lost a heartbreaker on Sunday night, but I was grateful to see how Jesus was lifted high in the defeat. Here’s a message from the Chiefs owner:
I’m also super happy for the Eagles. There are many on fire believers on the team and I’m glad they will have this platform to share Jesus. Here’s a compilation of some of them talking about their faith:
Going into the game, more than anything I was excited about how the Chiefs historic 3-peat victory might be prophesying a historic revival in the land, which I wrote about here- Team Jesus Update: January 30th, 2025 – Awaken941
Given the nature of the loss, I’ve been asking the Lord to give me insight into what the outcome may mean prophetically, and I certainly don’t have great clarity yet. However, I did find it interesting that the Kansas City Star (albeit somewhat tongue in cheek) blamed the loss on the fact that voodoo was being done against Mahomes and the team, which you can read about it here- ‘Witchcraft!’ Viral Eagles fan stabs pins into Patrick Mahomes voodoo doll at Super Bowl
I think at the most basic level, the take home message is that although we can be called to do great things for God, the warfare against us will be so great, that we must not allow the devil to have ANY open doors of access to us, otherwise His purposes could be hindered.
Despite the loss though, I STILL believe we are in a time of historic revival.
As for things on the mission fields, it was another great week there as well.
On Friday, our brother Karson officially led the Bayfront Park outreach for the first time, and he did a great job. I heard there were some good interactions throughout the night and when I got there, I got to minister to a 15-year-old believer for about 20 minutes and encourage him to read his bible more, which was very fruitful. BIG thanks to Amber and Thom for coming to help!
On Saturday, we had a POWERFUL time at Riverwalk, and it started with a bang. For the second week in a row (and for only the 8th time ever) there were a group of children that came up to receive the Lord after the altar call. Thankfully someone in the park got it on video, and you can see it below:
After this, two young kids came up to the platform and I shared the gospel with them. I was then introduced to their dad, and I spoke with him for about 20 minutes about Jesus. I came to find out that he was a backslidden believer and had been running from God for quite a while. He had just recently started to open his heart up to the Lord again and it was a total God thing meeting him in the park that day. He prayed to receive Jesus just before he left.
Later in the night, I spoke with a young man from Louisiana who had a similar story. He had been away from God for a while and had just recently started to think about coming back. We talked for about 20 minutes, and he prayed to receive Jesus.
Later, I met a woman with a similar story- she had fallen away a few months ago after a job loss. We talked for about 10 minutes about how God is good no matter what and how He can redeem anything if we just stay faithful. She wholeheartedly agreed and she prayed to receive Jesus back into her heart.
We also gave out lots of tracts and there were a few others that prayed to receive Jesus with us as well. It was an amazing night. BIG thanks to Chris, Gerldine, Adrick, Nahum, Kayla, Emma, Ulyssess, Chuck, Debbie, Howie, Paul and Ricardo for coming out to serve!
On Sunday, there were lots of people at the beach and it also started off with a bang. While at the unloading zone a man came up and asked how he could get all the things listed on the sign- particularly the ticket to heaven. I shared the gospel with him, and I found out he was a backslidden believer who had just recently began thinking about coming back to God. After our 20-minute conversation he prayed to receive Jesus back into his heart.
Throughout the night, we also got to give out many tracts and gifts and we had some good conversations as well. I also got to pray with 4 young kids to receive Jesus, which was great. Especially given that their mom didn’t seem super happy with what we were doing.
Hundreds of people heard the gospel that night too, and it was also cool to see a small crowd gather to hear my rap song at the end of the night. Some of them even cheered afterwards which was cool. You can see that here:
Our friend John also came that night and told us that he had just recently decided to rededicate himself more fully to the Lord. That night he ended up being the first person we’ve baptized in the newly renamed Gulf of America! So cool!
BIG thanks to Howie, Ricardo, Amber, Chris, Geraldine and Adrick for coming out to serve!
On Monday I was blessed to be invited to teach at The Firebrand School of Ministry in Port Charlotte. I taught a 90-minute class on evangelism and the response was wonderful. Many people told me that it really blessed them, and one said it was the best message he’s ever heard on evangelism.
The leader of the school sent me this message the next day too:
He even gave me a huge offering (which I was not expecting) and he told me that he wants me to come back to be a regular contributor to the school. It’s so nice to see the message of evangelism touching people so profoundly!
You can watch the teaching below:
This weekend, a small group of us are heading to the east coast to minister at the Daytona 500, which should be exciting. How cool that as we are preparing for that, I heard from our friend Elke (who got radically saved and delivered on Duval Street during our Key West mission trip) that she is going to become a missionary to unreached people groups in Muslim nations:
This was Elke sharing her testimony about what happened in Key West:
What a great reminder of how much God can do through even one person that gets reached on these trips! Hopefully there will be many transformations like this in Daytona!
On that note, Mike M will be leading the setup and tear down on Saturday and Sunday and we REALLY need all hands on deck during both of those nights. If you can help serve, it would be a huge blessing!
See you again soon! Much love!
Chris
