Pastor Deb & BDC

We've been conditioned to believe:If you don't agree with me, you don't love me. And if you love me, you should agree with me.But that's not love. That's ego… dressed up as loyalty.Because if agreement was the standard for love, then God would have to stop loving us every time we got it wrong.And we know that's not true.Closing Song: Love Ain't Agreement - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We wake up with agendas. Checklists. Obligations.  Deadlines.“Got to do this…” “Got to handle that…” “Let me just get through today…”And in the middle of all that doing… we forget that God didn't just call us to complete tasks— He called us to touch lives.Closing Song - "Pause & Bless" Written and Produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

I am going to begin the message with this statement: “Division is Demonic,” period, no exceptions.Now let that sit where it needs to sit.Not debated.Not softened.Not explained away.Period. No exceptions.Closing Song:  We Are One Family -written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Good morning,Scripture is clear: Living stuck in what was will block what God is doing now.Isaiah 43:18–19 says, “Forget the former things… I am doing a new thing.”Now let me be honest— I used to read that and think, that was for back then. Like God did a “new thing” 2,000 years ago… but what about now?But here's the truth:If God woke you up this morning, He didn't do it to replay your yesterday.Closing Songs: Glory To Glory and Don't Re-arrest Me written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

People think being nice is enough because it's the most socially acceptable substitute for holiness.It lets you feel spiritual without surrender… look righteous without transformation… and avoid being cruel while staying unchallenged, unrepentant, and unchanged.“I'm a good person” has become the modern-day fig leaf.“I don't bother anybody.” “I'm kind.” “I help people.”And yes—that's better than being cruel. But here's the truth:

Good Morning,Let me ask you something real simple…What you believe about God—did you discover it, or did you inherit it?Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

“Forgiven People, Forgive People”Let's start at the cross.Before we get deep, let's get honest.Forgiveness sounds spiritual…until it gets personal.It's easy to say, “I forgive you.”When nobody really hurt you.But when someone wounds you for realtalks about you, betrays you, mishandles you, overlooks you, lies on yousuddenly forgiveness feels less like a commandand more like a suggestion.But then… we look at the cross.While hanging on the cross, after being whipped all night long, bleeding, mocked, rejected—Jesus Christ said:“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)Let that settle in.He didn't say:“Forgive them after they apologize.”“Forgive them when they realize who I am.”“Forgive them if they change.”No… He forgave them while they were still persecuting him, while they were still spitting on him, while they were still chanting crucify himClosing Songs: "I Forgive You" and "Get Up Again" produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Let's clear something up this morning—because some of us have been quoting scripture… and misinterpreting it at the same time.In Philippians 4:11 Paul says:“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”Now somewhere along the way… “content” got translated into:“Stay down.” “Don't want more.” “Just accept whatever happens.”And respectfully… that's not Bible—that's complacency and the spirit of idleness talking.Closing Song: I'm Not Parking Here - Deborah Ocasio presenting....

The same people praising Him in John 12… are influenced by what they just saw.Lazarus.The miracle.The spectacle.The moment.But when your faith is built on what you saw… and not who He is…It won't last.Because five days later…“Crucify Him!” — Gospel of Luke 23:21Same city. Same crowd. Same lungs.Closing Songs: Lord, Start With Me and Wear The CrownSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

2 Timothy 1:7 — “God has not given us a spirit of fear…” Deuteronomy 6:16 — “Do not put the Lord your God to the test…” Galatians 6:7 — “God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”Closing Song: Faithfulness over Fearfulness produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

I was created on purpose, for purposeI was sent to shine bright,  to flip the script,  Placed in the middle of culture's spin,  right when the enemy tries to claim a win.  I was created on purpose, for purposeI am the plot twist, and I don't play tit for tatMy God's purpose for me is greater than that Just when the ending looks fixed and sealed, God steps in, truth revealed. The story bends, the future lifts, I am honored to be used by God as His plot twist.Closing Song:  "I am The Plot Twist" produced by Deborah Ocasio Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Have you ever noticed something interesting about confidence? The moment someone stands firmly in who they are, whispers begin.“Who do they think they are?” “She thinks she's all that.” “He's feeling himself a little too much.”But the truth is, there is a difference between conceit and conviction.Conceit says, “I made myself.” Conviction says, “God made me on purpose.”One is pride. The other is revelation.Closing Song:  Not Conceited - Convinced produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Are we influencing the environment we're in… or are we quietly absorbing it.  Because Scripture calls believers something very specific—set apart.  Jesus spent time among people from every walk of life.Tax collectors. Fishermen. Sinners. Religious leaders.But here's the key difference:The room never changed Jesus. Jesus changed the room.That's the calling of every believer today.Not isolation. Not imitation.But influence.Closing Songs - Set Apart or Set Aside - written and produced by Deborah Ocasio (Release Preview)- Available Don't Mean Viable - writtien and produced by Deborah Ocasio (available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and more)Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

We are living in a season where the world seems addicted to chaos. The headlines read like a suspense novel that nobody asked to be in, and ungodliness isn't even hiding anymore; it's being carried around like a trophy in a victory parade. But if you don't remember anything else I say today, remember this one thing: right here, right now, we need more than prayer, we need praise.Closing Song: NEW: Newly Equipped Worship - written and produced by Deborah Ocasio Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

This is Women's History Month - let's take a moment to remember how God has always used women to move His story forward.Not occasionally. Not accidentally. Consistently.Men don't check out or think this message isn't for you, because God called men and women to stand side by side to accomplish His purpose. Honor is due on both sides of the equation of humanity.Closing SongL Heaven Remembers Her Name - Written & Produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

This morning, I want to make something very clear to you about prayer and faith. Real faith prepares for what is being prayed for.Not emotionally. Not hypothetically. Practically.Because prayer is not a wish. Prayer is an invitation for God to move — and faith is the rearranging of your life in expectation that He will.And if your faith is real, if your faith is sincere, why would you not prepare for your prayer to manifestClosing song: Prepare For What You've Been Praying For by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

“The epitome of hell is on your last day of life, the you you have become meets the you you could have been.” Then she said our crowns have already been paid for, we just have to wear themThe closing song: Wear The Crown - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

If someone were to read your life like a book, they'd notice something powerful. Every chapter that should've ended in defeat kept turning into survival. Every page soaked in tears somehow still carried hope. And right in the margins—where explanations ran out— there He was.Holding you together when you were unraveling. Covering you when you didn't even know how to pray. Lifting you when the fall should've finished you.You didn't just make it through— You were carried through.Closing song: Jesus Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me by James ClevelandSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Tuesday evening, the president of these United States issued his State of the Union speech. I promise you my intent was not to touch it, to go on as if nothing had happened.  God wouldn't let me rest, and he petitioned me to present what we are living in from a perspective we might actually be missing.Closing Song : Let My People Go - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Good Can Be Bait, But is God the source?  All that appears good is not God-ordained.  God doesn't measure “good” the way culture, logic, or emotions do.“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.” — Isaiah 55:8Good can be the bait.But the question for today is “Is God the Source?”Closing Song - Is God The Source - written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Thank you again for leaning into yesterday's conversation on purpose. I heard the honest follow-ups loud and clear:“I don't know my purpose… how am I supposed to know what it is?”First—thank you for that transparency. That question isn't weakness; it's hunger. And hunger always gets God's attention.Closing Song:  Every Day Starts A New Year written and produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

This morning, I pray that my transparency sparks something in you, something that launches you straight into your God-given purpose.When you ask most people about their purpose, they'll list their goals or their dreams. But that's not the purpose. Goals are what you want to achieve. Purpose is why you're here. Why, God created you. What is your assignment in His plan?Purpose is an assignment, not the agenda. It's given, not originated by you. It's what God entrusted to youClosing Songs - Lord Use Me and Pursuing Purpose both produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

"God will not put more on you than you can bear."  That IS NOT TRUE - NOR IS IT SCRIPTURAL.   You will go through seasons when the weight on your shoulders is more than you can bear, but let your faith in God encourage you, knowing that He has a plan for your way out, for your weight to be lifted.Closing Song: The Way Out - produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Alright, let me lovingly disrupt a popular slogan.Everybody loves to say, “We're all God's children.”It sounds warm. It sounds inclusive. It sounds like something you'd put on a coffee mug with a sunset behind it.And some of you are already ready to say Amen—not because it's biblical, but because we tend to think that being a child of God is automatic because He created us all, and on top of that, because He created us all with purpose.All true, however, biblically speaking, we are not automatically God's children. That may make some of you cringe, but it is absolutely Scripture.God's divine plan was never for humanity to be born into forced allegiance with HimClosing Song: God's Legitimate Children - produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

This morning I was to talk to you briefly about something so basic, something our mothers and grandmothers like taught us. But being adults, dealing with life, while life be lifing its really easy to stray away from the basics.Closing Song:  All Day & All Night - You Kept Me - Produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

 Let's talk about that very popular phrase we hear everywhere: “my truth.”Now don't get me wrong—your experience is real. Your feelings are valid. Your pain matters. But feelings don't get to vote on truth.Because here's the problem with “my truth”: it collapses the moment it bumps into someone else's “my truth.” If your truth says up and my truth says down, somebody's wrong—or truth just clocked out for the day.Closing Song:  An Inconsistent Truth Is A Lie - produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

You don't need a mic to be anointed.Sometimes all you need is obedience, excellence, and the courage to take your gift seriously.What you're gifted to do with your hands, your brain power is just as holy as what someone else does with a mic. And God is still filling people with His Spirit—one masterpiece at a time.Closing Song -  His Spirit In My Hands produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Since the beginning of time, God has been in every moment of history.History is God's receipts.So today we declare:We choose to remember.We choose to tell the story.We choose to hold on to God's receipts.And we will not allow His receipts to be dismissedClosing Song: History Is God's Recept produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Respect is due to everyone. But respect must never wear the mask of worship, and honor must never turn into favoritism.So here's today's heart check:Am I honoring people in a way that still keeps God first…Am I careful not to show favoritism that makes others feel less, or have I been clapping louder for humans than I've been listening to Heaven?Stay respectful. Stay humble. Stay aligned.Closing Song:  What Will You Take Into Glory- produce by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Do not conform to the way of this world.  Don't buy into the world's trends of matching energy God called you for so much more.Closing Song: The Game Changing Plot Twist - Produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Yes, we like being admired. Yes, we blush a little when someone notices. But many of us — myself included — have entertained relationships where we were only seen for the external version of ourselves. And let's be fair — we've done it too. We've looked at the surface and called it compatibility.But attraction is not alignment.That's why in the song I say:“Do you see me — I mean the real me? Not the frame, not the glow…”Because real connection requires spiritual vision. It requires asking better questions. Not “Do we look good together?” but:“Does my purpose make sense next to yours?”Whew, that's a question that will clear a room.See, Kingdom relationships don't compete — they complement. No one has to shrink. No one has to dim. When God joins two people, their callings make sense side-by-side.Closing Songs:  "Do You See Me" - "Lord, Use Me" & "Lord Just You and Me" - produced by Deborah Ocasio  (available via Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Pandora, and more (https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCC2JOnaRg6bez2j2jlVMM5Q?si=kH8wTTPvzQ7D4kBi)Support the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

God calls us to be light to drive out darkness, to bring temperatures down in a room, to let exalt peace and make chaos stand still, to bring reasoning to disagreements, and to build bridges between what is divided.

Today, we pray for strength not to fight people, but to stand against lies, against wickedness, against injustice. Strength to resist principalities in disguise. Strength to speak the truth without fear. Strength to seek justice while exalting godly love.Closing Songs: Lord, Make Us One and Live Like I Believe both produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

Jesus said:Matthew 6:21  “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”If your treasure is the Word of God, the love of God, stop sleeping on being intentional about studying His Word, and when you hear the truth of the Gospel spoken or preached, share it with another. Be blessed.Closing Song:  Worth More Than A Million - produce by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

As a nation, we have been dealing with a whole lot, and now much of the nation is under winter storm alerts, people are preparing, watching the forecasts, and bracing for the worst. I want to say this: Preparation is wise. But panic is not. What if what we're calling inconvenience is actually an invitation?Sometimes disruption is divine.Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” Not rush and know. Not panic and know. Be still.Closing Song:  Time Out - Go To Your Room produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org

You can trust God even when the system is against you. You can release what you love without losing it. You can obey God quietly and still shift history. Some of you are in a season right now. You've done all you can do. Your faith may be working behind the scenes, but heaven is paying close attention. You've prayed. You've protected, and history is still being shaped because of it, a history that may never make the books, but every life you've touched, every life you've held is connected to someone's history, someone's journey, and their life connected to another and another.Closing Song; Behind The Scenes - produced by Deborah OcasioSupport the showwww.BibleDeliverance.org
