Our Victorious King is a message delivered on Palm Sunday at Faith Center Freeport, IL. 

There is nothing more powerful and life giving than the bestowment of honor upon those to whom honor is due. We have lost kingdom honor in an Era, of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion. “There is no such thing as equal honor.” Kingdom culture is the bedrock of every culture. When a nation realizes the fullness of its intended purposes, God's kingdom will come and His Will, will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Our nation is under siege with lies & everything in this world system is warring against the truth in you. Stand Fast.
