Salt and Light Covenant Church in Tallahassee, FL with Pastor Omar Ellison

Following the Good Shepherd's Voice Pastor Omar Ellison's message, "The Father's Voice - Part 10," delves into the profound relationship between the believer and God, emphasizing the critical importance of hearing and obeying His voice. He teaches that as God's sheep, we are known by Him and are meant to know and follow only His voice, not the voices of the world or the enemy. Heed the Internal Barometer — True guidance from God is internal, not external. God does not need to use tragedies or negative circumstances to get our attention. He has an infinite number of ways to guide us from a good place. We are meant to be guided by our inner "barometer," the Holy Spirit, not forced into obedience like a horse or mule by a bit and bridle. Mind the Things of the Spirit — Our minds are the central battlefield. Where our minds are focused determines what dominates our lives. Being "carnally minded" (focused on worldly things like finances, relationships, or problems) leads to death—a lack of spiritual perception and life. In contrast, being "spiritually minded" (focused on God's Word and His ways) produces life and peace. Walking in the Spirit — This is not a complex, mystical concept. It's simply choosing to live life God's way as revealed in His Word. This daily choice, made by keeping our minds fixed on Him, allows us to walk in continuous life and peace, regardless of our external circumstances. God Is Enough — Even when life presents challenges and nothing seems to go our way, our circumstances do not dictate our peace. God's presence is our ultimate peace, and He alone is enough. When we have Him, we have everything.

Following the Good Shepherd, Not the Stranger The world is full of competing voices, but as believers, we are called to know and follow only one: the voice of our Good Shepherd. In this message, Pastor Omar Ellison exposes the tactics of the enemy—the "stranger" mentioned in John 10—and provides a clear path to victory. Learn how to overcome the enemy's whispers as Pastor Ellison explains the three essential steps to an overcoming life: -- The Blood of the Lamb: Accepting the sacrifice of Jesus is the foundational step to defeating the enemy's hold. -- The Word of Our Testimony: Our life is a living testament to the goodness of Jesus. When we share what He has done, we proclaim His victory. -- Love Not Your Life Unto Death: This final and crucial step is a daily decision to die to self. Overcoming the enemy requires us to deny our own will, our own desires, and our own way of doing things, and instead, to follow the King's way, even if it means losing our earthly life.

In this powerful continuation of "The Father's Voice" series, Pastor Omar Ellison dives into the critical importance of hearing and discerning God's voice in a world filled with distractions. Drawing from John 10 and other scriptures, he reminds us that we are His sheep, and He calls us by name to lead us through—not always out of—our challenges. The key to following Him is learning to actively listen to His voice and run from the voice of a stranger. -- The Voice of the Stranger: The "stranger" is any voice that tries to lead us astray, including our own anger, jealousy, envy, or backbiting. Pastor Ellison emphasizes that we are not to entertain these voices but to flee from them. -- The Still, Small Voice: While God can speak in dramatic ways, He most often communicates through our thoughts. Every thought is spiritual, and as such, they are the main battleground where the enemy tries to sow seeds of doubt and temptation. -- Counteracting Negative Thoughts: Pastor Ellison teaches us to take every thought captive. We do this by speaking God's Word out loud, using His truth to silence the lies and temptations that come to our minds. Jesus Himself modeled this during His temptation in the wilderness. -- The Importance of Active Listening: Hearing and listening are not the same. Hearing is passive, but active listening requires us to give God our full, undivided attention, filtering out all other distractions. The more we actively listen to God, the more attuned we become to His voice and the less we are swayed by the enemy. -- God's Word as the Final Authority: The ultimate test for any thought or voice is to compare it to God's Word. If a thought does not line up with scripture, we know it is not from God. His Word is the final, undisputed authority for every believer.

The Critical Difference Between Hearing and Listening Pastor Omar Ellison clarifies the difference between hearing and listening, explaining that while hearing is passive, listening is an active choice that demands our full attention and focus. This active listening is the key to following God and experiencing the promises in His Word. Hearing allows God's Word to "go in one ear and out the other." Listening requires us to lean in and seek to understand. We must make a conscious decision to listen diligently to the voice of the Lord, not our circumstances or the opinions of others. A consistent practice of active listening and obedience to God's Word leads to blessings and healing, as seen in the promises of Exodus and Deuteronomy. When we choose not to listen, we open ourselves up to curses and negative consequences, often mistaking them for "the devil fighting." The enemy's strategy is not to stop us from hearing or even reading the Bible, but to prevent us from comprehending and applying it, which leads to a "hardened heart." We counteract this by consistently "attending to" God's Word—giving it our full attention and letting it sink deep into our hearts. Jesus is our ultimate example of active listening and obedience, facing trials with a heart that was strengthened by the Father's daily direction. He learned from God and showed us that true strength and rest for our souls come from learning of Him.

In this powerful teaching from Pastor Omar Ellison, "The Father's Voice - Part 6," we are reminded of the active and loving role our Heavenly Father plays as our shepherd. Far from being a distant figure, God is intricately involved in every aspect of our lives, guiding us for His name's sake and not our own glory. Based on key scriptures, Pastor Ellison outlines how God leads us, and he challenges us to rethink how we seek His voice. -- Acknowledge Him in Everything: Pastor Ellison explains that true guidance comes from a simple act of acknowledgment. When we intentionally bring God into every decision—big or small—He promises to direct our paths. This is an internal trust, not a reliance on our own limited understanding. -- Internal, Not External, Leading: We often look for God's voice in external signs like "laying out the fleece" or interpreting negative events as divine warnings. Pastor Ellison clarifies that God does not use accidents or hardship to speak to us. Instead, His guidance comes from within through the Holy Spirit, who resides in us and teaches us all things. -- The Power of a Still Heart: The message culminates in a powerful call to stillness. In a world of constant motion and busyness, Pastor Ellison shares a personal testimony about how stopping the search and simply being still led to a breakthrough. When we quiet ourselves, we create the space to hear the clear voice of our Shepherd. This message is a call to get into God's Word so we can become so familiar with His voice that we will know it without question.

In this powerful installment of "The Father's Voice" series, Pastor Omar Ellison passionately teaches on the ever-present guidance of God. Drawing extensively from Psalms 23 and other New Testament scriptures, he unpacks how believers can discern and follow the voice of their Shepherd. This message is foundational for the continued journey in hearing God's voice. Key takeaways from this message include: -- God as the Shepherd: Just as a shepherd cares for his sheep, God, our Shepherd, promises to provide, lead, and guide us, ensuring we "shall not want." This guidance is for His glory, not ours. -- Confronting Fear: Fear is inevitable, but believers are called to resist it with their words, counteracting negative thoughts with the truth of God's word. If the enemy, the father of lies, says it won't work, then it will work! -- The Spirit of God Within: Unlike the Old Covenant, the Holy Spirit now dwells within believers, revealing God's deep things and guiding us into all truth. This indwelling Spirit provides answers to every need and shows us our future, even if it doesn't reveal every difficulty along the way. -- Overcoming Distractions: Busyness, while not a sin, is a significant tool of the enemy to prevent us from hearing God's voice. We must prioritize quiet time and yielding to the Spirit over the constant demands of life. -- The Mortal Body and the Indwelling Spirit: Our human side may experience sickness and weakness, but the Spirit of God within us has the power to "quicken" or make alive our mortal bodies. Believers are not to be bound by the limitations of the flesh but empowered by the Spirit to overcome physical ailments and worldly rhetoric. -- God is Still Speaking: From the very beginning in Genesis, God has been, and continues to be, a speaking God. His nature is to communicate with those He loves, and He desires to instruct and teach us according to His perfect, eternal perspective. We must not be like a "horse or a mule" that needs to be forced, but willingly yield to His leading.

In this impactful message, "The Father's Voice - Part 4," Pastor Omar Ellison delves into the profound truth of confronting sin, revealing the enemy's strategy to keep us from prospering by encouraging us to cover our transgressions. Drawing from Scripture, he explains that true prosperity hinges not on outward religious acts, but on confessing our sins—acknowledging our wrong—and forsaking them—turning away from those destructive paths, much like Pharaoh's downfall stemmed from his refusal to forsake his wrongdoing. Pastor Ellison then shifts to the transformative power of a tenderhearted spirit, contrasting it sharply with the perils of a hardened heart that leads to falling and mischief. He differentiates between ignorant sins, which require instruction, and presumptuous (premeditated) sins, which necessitate discipline, emphasizing that both carry penalties. The core of his message revolves around God's desire to change our thinking (our heart), moving us from a law-based "doing to get" mentality to a grace-based "receiving" one. He expounds on God's new covenant, where His Spirit is placed within us, not just upon us, enabling us to naturally walk in His laws without weariness. He powerfully concludes by explaining that the Holy Spirit seals the "real you" from sin, making it impossible for the true believer to sin, even as the flesh may falter. This sealing empowers us to forgive others as we have been forgiven, fostering kindness and tenderheartedness, ultimately calling us to a deep, sincere brokenness and remorse for sin that leads to genuine, lasting change.

In "The Father's Voice - Part 3," Pastor Omar Ellison delves deeper into the pervasive issue of a hardened heart, a topic he revisits seven years after his initial sermon on it, suggesting its enduring relevance for all believers. He defines a hardened heart as one that is callous, unable to perceive spiritual truths, and resistant to divine penetration. Drawing from Hebrews 3:7-12, Pastor Ellison illustrates how a hardened heart grieves God, leading to error in thinking and a departure from His ways. He passionately distinguishes between sins of ignorance (Numbers 15:27) and presumptuous, premeditated sins (Numbers 15:30). Sins of ignorance, though still incurring consequences, can be met with mercy, as seen in Paul's life or the ignorance of those who crucified Jesus. However, presumptuous sin, characterized by knowingly defying God's word, ignoring consequences, and taking one's future for granted, leads to severe spiritual cutting off. Pastor Ellison warns against the deceitfulness of sin and the subtle infiltration of a "have it your way" mentality within the church. He stresses that God's holiness demands obedience, and true relationship isn't merely about being "used" by God, but about genuine intimacy and humble surrender. The sermon powerfully connects a hardened heart with a lack of true trust in God, contrasting it with the blessedness of those who genuinely trust in the Lord, like a tree planted by water, constantly producing fruit regardless of circumstances (Jeremiah 17:5-8). He concludes by reiterating that God examines the heart and the motivations behind our actions, urging believers to honestly confess their failings and align their thinking with His truth to experience healing and continuous divine provision.

"If you're hard in your heart, you can't perceive certain things. If you're hard in your heart, you can't even understand certain things. If you're hard in your heart, I can't even get to you what I want to get to you. I've got a whole warehouse with your name on it and you can't receive any of it because your heart is hardened." --Pastor Omar Ellison In "The Father's Voice - Part 2," Pastor Omar Ellison delivers a crucial message about the perils of a hardened heart, building on the foundation of Hebrews 3. He defines hardening as becoming callous, preventing us from perceiving, understanding, or receiving anything God desires to send our way—His voice, His blessings, His will. The sermon delves into how this hardening often stems from errors in our thinking, urging listeners to align their thoughts with God's Word rather than their feelings or external circumstances. Pastor Ellison highlights that unbelief is a choice and can lead to a slow departure from God (Hebrews 3:12), often undetected for years. He stresses the biblical mandate to exhort one another daily (Hebrews 3:13), keeping each other encouraged to prevent hearts from hardening through the deceitfulness of sin. This isn't just about mistakes, but a continuous, comfortable indulgence in known wrong, which ultimately dulls conviction and spiritual sensitivity. Through vivid examples from Mark's Gospel (Mark 3, Mark 6, Mark 8), Pastor Ellison illustrates how a hardened heart prevents recognition of God's power, even in the face of undeniable miracles. He shows how the Pharisees, witnessing Jesus' healing (Mark 3:2-6), were so hardened that they sought to destroy Him rather than receive the truth. He points out that being "amazed" or "struck with awe" at God's goodness can ironically indicate a hardened heart if it means we haven't been considering or meditating on His past works (Mark 6:51-52; Mark 8:14-21). The teaching powerfully calls believers to rehearse God's miracles daily, no matter how small, as a vital practice to maintain a soft, receptive heart, capable of perceiving, understanding, and applying His truth, even amidst life's storms. Failure to do so, he warns (Proverbs 29:1), leads to a sudden, remediless destruction in our spiritual lives. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

"If we don't address the hardened heart issue, they'll never be able to hear me fully. They'll never be able to hear me clearly because their hearts are hardened." --Pastor Omar Ellison Have you ever wondered why it feels so difficult to hear from God? Pastor Omar Ellison tackles this question head-on in "The Father's Voice - Part 1," a powerful message explaining that the issue isn't with God's ability to speak, but with our ability to hear. The primary culprit is a "hardened heart"—a condition caused by life's hurts, the world's counsel to "toughen up," and the deceitfulness of sin. Drawing from key passages in Hebrews and Proverbs, Pastor Ellison explains that a hardened heart leads to an inability to perceive, understand, or receive what God is trying to communicate. Using the powerful biblical example of Pharaoh, he illustrates how a hardened heart leads to a dangerous cycle of temporary repentance and repeated mistakes, ultimately resulting in destruction. The antidote? Not more self-effort, but radical honesty, humility, and the integrity to confess our struggles to God and trusted believers. This message is a vital spiritual check-up, calling every believer to examine their own heart and tear down the walls that prevent them from fully experiencing God's presence and guidance. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

Join Pastor Omar Ellison of Salt and Light Covenant Church as he commences an in-depth exploration of the book of Romans, beginning with the foundational truths in chapter 1. In this powerful message, Pastor Omar unpacks Paul's declaration of being "separated unto the gospel of God," challenging believers to live lives that exemplify God's kingdom and love. He delves into the significance of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, stressing that everything we do in the kingdom is "for His name's sake," not our own. A central theme is the power of belief, as the gospel's salvation is accessible to "everyone that believeth." Pastor Omar passionately articulates that "the just live by faith," defining faith as the substance of things hoped for, and powerfully asserting that time should not dictate the believer's reality, as faith operates in eternity. He then contrasts this with the "wrath of God" already revealed through Christ, and the consequences of those who, knowing God, failed to glorify Him or be thankful. This unthankfulness, he explains, leads to vain imaginations, darkened hearts, and a descent into unrighteousness and unnatural practices. Pastor Omar powerfully concludes by reminding listeners not to let the blessings in their lives speak louder than the Blesser, emphasizing that all glory belongs solely to the Creator. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

"The attack on your imagination is really an attack against your future. The enemy brings twisted images and lies to distort how you see yourself, but when you get submitted to God's Word, He will begin to clean, rearrange, and change your imagination to align with the future He has for you." --Pastor Omar Ellison Fear is an ancient enemy that has dominated mankind for generations. It's not just an uneasy feeling; it's a spiritual weapon used to sow doubt and unbelief. This episode dismantles the anatomy of fear, revealing it as a spirit that God has not given us (2 Timothy 1:7). Listen as we unpack a practical, three-step biblical battle plan to gain victory over fear: First, you must recognize it. Then, using your God-given authority, you must rebuke it. Finally, you must resist it by submitting wholly to God, which causes the enemy to flee (James 4:7). Discover how your faith always follows your focus, illustrated by Peter's momentary lapse on the water. We'll explore why attending to God's Word (Proverbs 4:20), setting your mind on things above (Colossians 3:1-2), and considering Jesus (Hebrews 12:3) are the keys to maintaining a faith-filled focus. Ultimately, the battle against fear is fought on the field of your imagination. Learn how the enemy tries to create spiritual blindness and project distorted images to attack your God-given future. This teaching will empower you to see with the eyes of your heart, harness your emotions, and allow the truth of Scripture to purify your imagination, securing the expected end God has planned for you. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

"Free will is the most powerful attribute that the Father has put into, given to mankind: the ability to choose." --Pastor Omar Ellison Welcome to "Fear Not - Part 10," where Pastor Omar Ellison delves deeper into the subtle yet pervasive nature of fear. Building on previous installments, Pastor Ellison defines fear as an "uneasiness of our thought life," stressing that all thoughts are spiritual and originate from either the kingdom of God or the kingdom of hell. He challenges listeners to critically examine the source of their thoughts, as what we dwell on eventually manifests in our speech and ultimately, our lives. A core revelation in this episode centers on the profound power of choice and the attribute of free will. Pastor Ellison asserts that free will is the most powerful gift God has given to mankind, enabling us to choose what we think on and what we allow into our lives. He passionately argues against the notion that we lack choice, explaining that while circumstances may be challenging, we always possess the autonomy to say "yes" or "no" to the influences seeking to enter our hearts. Drawing from his own life, Pastor Ellison illustrates how the sum total of his choices, particularly the choice to trust and submit to God, has guided him to his current position. He clarifies that our battle is never against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces that introduce negative thoughts. Therefore, addressing the spirit behind the thought, rather than the person, is crucial. The message culminates in the powerful truth that choosing God's way – by believing and trusting in what Jesus Christ has already done for us – unlocks the benefits of His perfect plan. While we all start with a "measure of faith" (like a mustard seed), it's through our experiences with God and our continuous choices to follow Him that this faith grows, enabling us to overcome fear and walk in the authority that Christ has already secured. Join Pastor Omar Ellison for this transformative teaching that empowers you to take control of your thought life and embrace the profound freedom of divine choice. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

Welcome to today's episode with Pastor Omar Ellison, where we continue our series on fear—understanding it in a transformative way. Fear often thrives in the unknown, attacking our thoughts and imagination to keep us from stepping into our God-ordained future. Pastor Omar explains how fear is a tool of Satan, aiming to distort our thinking and prevent us from receiving God's peace and purpose. Through scripture and personal insight, he reveals that the battle for our lives is fought in our minds, where wrong thinking leads to wrong believing, wrong speaking, and ultimately wrong outcomes. But there is hope: by grounding ourselves in God's Word, His spoken truth, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we gain the knowledge and confidence needed to combat fear. Pastor Omar encourages listeners to submit their thoughts to God's higher perspective, to recognize the spiritual nature of this warfare, and to stand firm in the authority given to believers. This episode will inspire you to rethink how you approach fear, renew your mind, and step boldly toward the future God has prepared for you. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/

Are you constantly battling worries, insecurities, or that unsettling feeling of "what if"? In this compelling message, Pastor Omar Ellison tackles the pervasive topic of fear, dissecting its origins and offering a powerful antidote. He defines fear as an "uneasiness of mind," a mental state where we allow doubt, unbelief, worry, and stress to create a "movie" of future negativity that may never even happen. This is the essence of F.E.A.R.: False Evidence Appearing Real. Pastor Ellison reveals that Satan's primary strategy is to shift us from faith to fear by attacking our imagination, which he calls the "incubator" of our thinking and future. He explains how the enemy projects negative images and "what-ifs," aiming to derail God's good plans for us. However, our future is already God's "past" – He has already created us with purpose, destiny, and every blessing we need, much like a house is built on blueprints before it's physically manifested. The key to overcoming this spiritual assault, Pastor Ellison powerfully declares, is knowledge. Just as a strong dose of kryptonite renders Superman powerless, knowledge of God's word and His character is the ultimate weapon against fear. He illustrates how knowledge builds confidence, whether it's preparing for a job interview or facing life's challenges. Drawing from Psalm 27 and Isaiah 35 and 43, he reveals that God is our light, our salvation, our strength, our vindicator, and our compensator. He is with us through every "water" and "fire," ensuring we will not be overwhelmed or burned. This sermon is a powerful call to replace fear with foundational truth, trust in God's unwavering presence, and walk confidently into the victorious future He has already designed. ******* Find more information on our website: https://www.saltandlightcovenant.com/
