Summary: “What Do You See? Fulfilling Purpose—No Excuses” Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Primary Texts: Jeremiah 1:1–12; Esther 4:13–14; John 18:36; 2 Cor. 10:3–5 DOWNLOAD THIS SUMMARY Jeremiah 1:3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month. 4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified[a] you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. 9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.” 11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” 12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.” Thesis: How you see—with Spirit-given vision, not just physical sight—determines how God can use you. Vision silences excuses and activates purpose right where you already are. 1) Vision vs. Sight Opens with Dr. Myles Munroe's line: sight is with the eyes; vision is with the heart. We act out of what we see internally; no one acts beyond their beliefs and understanding. Best motivator of action: God's purpose and love of neighbor. Worst motivator: self-interest. Greatest enemy to purpose: accepting limitations and making excuses. 2) Jeremiah's Context and Call Jeremiah ministers in a divided kingdom (Israel & Judah). Israel already fell; Judah still “with God” yet drifting into idolatry and injustice. God's word to Jeremiah (Jer 1:4–10): Before birth—God knew, formed, sanctified, appointed him. Jeremiah's excuse (“I'm too young / can't speak”) is dismissed by God. God gives a threefold redirection: Command: “You shall go…and speak.” Prohibition: “Do not fear their faces.” Promise: “I am with you to deliver you.” Provision: God touches Jeremiah's mouth, putting His words there—empowerment. Assignment: “Root out, pull down, destroy, throw down”—then “build and plant.” 3) Inside the System, Yet Unconformed God often uses people already inside systems if they refuse to be conformed. Jeremiah: born into priestly establishment, yet called to confront corruption. Esther: positioned in power and tempted to silence; Mordecai reminds her she's there “for such a time as this.”She risks comfort to challenge an evil decree. 4) Two “Kingdoms”: Counterfeit vs. Christ's Dr. Hudson contrasts “Christianity without Christ” with the Christianity of Christ: Manifest Destiny and the Doctrine of Discovery (historical justifications for conquest and displacement) and chattel slavery are cited as religiously-coated systems that harmed people—ends never justify means. Frederick Douglass is quoted distinguishing the pure Christianity of Christ from the hypocritical religion of his time. “I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ; I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial, and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. I look upon it as the climax of all misnomers, the boldest of all frauds, and the grossest of all libels.” (Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave) Contemporary Christian nationalism seeks to wield state power to impose religion. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36); the Gospel changes hearts, not by coercive law. Christians hold dual citizenship: we preach the Gospel, love neighbors, pursue justice, and elect competent public servants, but we do not try to “Christianize” worldly power. 5) Excuses vs. God's Plan God ignores excuses—they only “work” for the one making them. Inadequacy is real, but not a hiding place; the God who formed you increases capacity. Expect trouble for obedience; God already factored it in and promises presence and deliverance. 6) Weapons and Work of the Kingdom Our warfare is not carnal (2 Cor. 10:3–5). We pray, speak truth to power, show up, help people, and support leaders who serve the common good rather than self-interest. “Rooting out” includes exposing deception; “building/planting” means constructive actions that bless people and communities. 7) “What Do You See?”—The Almond Branch God asks Jeremiah what he sees (1:11–12). Almond branch—earliest to bloom—pictures God's watchfulness and swift action. Key: Jeremiah didn't need full interpretation to obey; he only needed to see what God showed. When Jeremiah saw God's adequacy more than his own inadequacy, God declared, “You have seen well… I am ready to perform My word.” 8) Applications & Practices Confession: Renounce excuses; receive assignment where you are; refuse fear; trust God's presence. Act where placed: Identify your sphere (home, work, school, civic board, ministry team). Two moves each week: One “tear down” act (truth-telling, intercession, challenging injustice). One “build/plant” act (mentoring, proposing just processes, starting prayer/helps initiatives). Discernment: Judge by fruit, not labels; avoid fruitless arguments; invest in people with ears to hear. 9) Closing Appeal & Prayer Place hope in Christ, not systems. Worldly empires fail; God's kingdom endures. Ask for grace to discern counterfeit religion, to shine light without anger, and to participate in God's change by changed hearts leading to changed conditions. Call to salvation, consecration, and immediate obedience—letting the “light turn on” and walking out purpose with no excuses. Bottom line: Seeing with kingdom vision—not merely with natural sight—positions you to confront lies, build what blesses people, and walk confidently in the assignment God prepared before you were born.

Demolishing Strongholds (II Corinthians 10:1-4)
What if the battle you're fighting isn't out there—but inside? In 2 Corinthians 10, we see that the real strongholds aren't physical walls or external enemies, but the thoughts, fears, and defenses we build to protect ourselves.
Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Oct 6, 2025 Life's true essence isn't found in possessions but in knowing Christ intimately and becoming like Him. You are already God's child—this discussion is settled. You carry divine DNA, and your journey is allowing these spiritual genes to manifest until it becomes undeniable that you belong to God. You carry an unusual enrichment of the Holy Spirit—Scripture calls this the "earnest" or "first fruits." There's a literal saturation of God's presence concentrated in you. Creation itself groans for your manifestation, and these groanings are captured in the seven feasts of Israel—actual times when the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more tangible in creation. When cosmic signs appear during these appointed times, discern what God is saying. Jesus submitted to this protocol: He died during Passover, rose during First Fruits, and the Spirit came on Pentecost. Develop spiritual intelligence. Numbers in Scripture—Job's seven sons and three daughters, his 7,000 sheep and 3,000 camels, Daniel's twenty-one day fast—reveal angelic operations and wisdom patterns that godly people trapped on earth through their walk with God. Multiple spiritual forces broadcast to you simultaneously, like earth's atmosphere: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. Each gas represents different spirits trying to communicate. Nitrogen isn't giving you life—oxygen is. Consecration increases the "oxygen" in your spiritual atmosphere, amplifying God's voice until He becomes the dominant influence. Apply the greenhouse effect: specific atmospheric conditions allow specific seeds to grow. Expose yourself to something's atmosphere through consecration, and that thing's wisdom blossoms in your life. Joshua was told to meditate on God's Word day and night so his way would be prosperous. Increase God's presence in your life and experience prosperity. Understand Kronos versus Kairos. Kronos is ordinary time under wickedness's influence—"the days are evil." But when filled with the Spirit, you break into Kairos—time under God's influence where His purposes manifest. This is redeeming time. Spiritual sight operates differently than natural sight. In the spiritual realm, you see by the light within you. Satan's light makes his deceptions appear normal. Under his light, Peter tried preventing Jesus from the cross. But under God's light, Jesus saw the joy set before Him. Once you can see something spiritually, it becomes tangible—it's just a matter of prolonged engagement. The ten plagues of Egypt weren't God directly killing but His light progressively infiltrating Egypt, revealing the pain demonic powers were already inflicting. Each plague represented increasing measures of God's presence. At the third plague, magicians encountered "the finger of God"—a threshold where they could no longer replicate God's presence. Consecration does this in your life: increases God's presence until darkness's tricks stop working. This same finger that wrote the Ten Commandments now writes on your heart through communion with God. Where the Spirit is Lord—the only one speaking—there is liberty. When you create that atmosphere, plagues break out: the death of this age's gods in your life. Things gripping your soul lose their hold. Strongholds are pulled down. Paul said if you live according to the flesh, you'll discover you're not truly alive. But if through the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Sonship is about God's glory influencing, ruling over, saturating you until your genetic correspondence with God manifests visibly. You're designed to be a true human being: a priest and king after the order of Melchizedek. Take advantage of strategic times like the Feast of Tabernacles—times when creation's groaning intensifies and the Holy Spirit's voice becomes more accessible. Consecrate yourself during these seasons through worship, meditation on God's Word, and fasting. Remember: repentance isn't saying "I'm sorry"—it's changing your mind. Transformation isn't trying harder; it's exposure to the right light. In God's light, Satan appears undesirable. In God's light, you see yourself as you truly are in Christ. The closer you draw to God, the more your sonship manifests, the less influence this age has over you, and the more you realize you're born of God, carrying His DNA, destined for glory. This is your inheritance. Walk in it. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

Bishop Robert Vona preaches from 2 Samuel 5:4–10, Romans 6–8, 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, and Ephesians 6:10–12, calling the church to confront and destroy spiritual strongholds that keep believers bound. Just as David took the stronghold of Zion, Christians must take authority in Jesus' name over fear, sin, and doubt. Born again of water and Spirit, we are called to live in victory, not condemnation, clothed in Christ's righteousness and empowered by the Holy Ghost. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to pull down every stronghold.

What if the very thing you've been fighting all along is the very thing you need to let go of? What if the patterns, shame, and fear you've been holding onto aren't obstacles to push through, but signals pointing you toward freedom? In this episode, Emily sits down with Kevin Crenshaw, known as The Heart Guy, who has spent over a decade helping leaders and individuals break free from the patterns, fears, and habits that keep them stuck. His own near-death experience, chronic illness, and mental health struggles forced him to confront the things he couldn't control and taught him that surrender to God, not pushing harder, is often the first step toward transformation. Together, Emily and Kevin explore the experiences that shaped his journey and the insights he now shares with others to help them release what no longer serves them, step confidently into God's plan, and live with more clarity, freedom, and purpose. What You'll Learn: The ways surrender can break cycles of shame, fear, and limiting patterns. The life-changing reality of deliverance and the Holy Spirit Stories of real transformation that show how trusting God changes everything The truth about calling, anointing, and the crushing process How fasting, surrender, and obedience transform your daily walk Timestamps: (02:32) - From Ayahuasca to Jesus: Kevin's breaking point (06:16) - Wrestling with God and letting go (09:51) - How social media and success become traps (15:42) - Seeing your business as a garden, not a rocket (18:46) - Resisting temptation and slowing down with God (24:14) - Shame as a spiritual parasite and breaking the stronghold (28:07) - The horizontal vs vertical plane of evolution (32:07) - What true deliverance is (and why it's not a healing modality) (46:09) - Do you need deliverance more than once? (56:02) - When fasting becomes fuel for your spirit (01:00:12) - Identity through God, not things (01:03:14) - The crushing before the calling: why God tests before He trusts (01:07:03) - Kevin's new book “Perspectives” (01:10:30) - Kevin's prayer Grab a copy of Kevin's Book: Perspectives | https://www.heartguy.com/book Connect with Kevin: Website | https://www.heartguy.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/the.heart.guy Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kevcrenshaw More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website | https://meetemilyford.com Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/ FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/
Some struggles don't respond to surface-level solutions—because they're rooted deep in generational patterns, emotional wounds, or hidden agreements we've made in the spirit. In this episode, I unpack the concept of root strongholds—the underlying belief systems and spiritual footholds that shape behavior, relationships, and even ministry outcomes. These are not just bad habits. They're entrenched lies that must be exposed and displaced by the truth of God's Word. We'll walk through: The difference between fruit issues and root issues How to recognize the spiritual architecture behind persistent patterns Why repentance, renewal, and renunciation are critical to lasting freedom How to partner with the Holy Spirit to pull down strongholds and rebuild on truth If you've ever felt stuck in cycles of discouragement, fear, rejection, or shame—this teaching will equip you to break agreement with the enemy and walk in the liberty Christ paid for.
You don't have to keep falling in the same old holes – you don't have to stay stuck in the same old negative thoughts or behaviors – in Christ, you have weapons that have divine power to destroy strongholds.
The sermon recounts a story of hope and freedom, emphasizing the power of faith and spiritual warfare in overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. It highlights the importance of recognizing and renouncing occultic involvement, bitterness, and rebellion, while actively building a foundation of truth through diligent study and prayer. The speaker shares a compelling narrative of a young man delivered from hopelessness and a six-year-old girl who also experienced spiritual liberation, underscoring the transformative potential of taking back ground and standing firm against deception, ultimately encouraging listeners to actively engage in spiritual warfare and build towers of truth within their families.

In this episode of Extraordinary Living, Roger Morris explains the concept of spiritual strongholds and the power of applying the word of God to overcome them. Through a detailed discussion of Ephesians 6:10-18 and the importance of the 'armor of God,' Roger emphasizes the necessity of knowing and standing firm on God's word to combat the devil's schemes. He stresses the significance of not just passively waiting for divine intervention but actively cooperating with the Holy Spirit. Using the story of Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea in Exodus 14:10-17, Roger illustrates how faith and obedience to God's word in action can lead to miraculous deliverance. He concludes with a call to action for listeners to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, offering a prayer for salvation and inviting new believers to connect with the ministry for further support.

This week Pastor Brandon continues our new series Break Free with a powerful message on overcoming strongholds. Strongholds are real. They can hold our thoughts captive, distort how we see ourselves, and keep us chained in fear and sin. But the good news of the gospel is that we are not powerless. The Spirit of Christ lives in us, and that means we have the spirit of a fighter inside of us. Through Ephesians 6 and the armor of God, we're reminded that God has equipped us with everything we need to stand firm against the enemy's schemes:

Are you stuck in cycles of fear, sin, or bondage? That's not God's will for you. In this message, I'll show you how to identify and destroy spiritual strongholds, once and for all. The Encounter Podcast Ep.44
Knowing Who You Are helps you step up and be who God has called you to be.
We reflected on the lessons of Daniel and Israel's history, seeing how God's dealings with His people reveal warnings and encouragement for us today. We considered the danger of spiritual strongholds—fear, pride, doubt, and rebellion—and the necessity of relying on God's strength rather than our own. The importance of humility, submission to God's will, and obedience to His word was emphasized through the stories of Jehoiakim, Hezekiah, and Miriam. We also saw the power of prayer, fellowship, and trust in God's timing, recognizing that Satan's kingdom is divided and ultimately defeated, while God provides deliverance and victory to those who depend on Him.Themes:God's dealings with Israel as preparation and teaching for His church (Daniel; 2 Kings; Chronicles; Isaiah)The danger of spiritual strongholds: fear, pride, rebellion, and doubtReliance on spiritual weapons over carnal means (2 Corinthians 10)Humility and daily submission to God's counsel, like gathering manna each dayHezekiah's obedience, destruction of idols, and prayer for courage against enemiesTrusting God's strength over fear, anger, and demonic oppositionFellowship and intimacy with Christ as the source of true joyWarnings against poor teaching, private fellowships, and spiritual isolationThe danger of resisting God's chosen servants (Numbers 12; Miriam and Moses)Trust in God's timing and provision, even in the face of lies and false teachingSatan's kingdom divided against itself and destined for defeat (Matthew; Mark; Revelation)Scripture References:Daniel; 2 Kings; 2 Chronicles; Isaiah; Galatians 6:14; Matthew 5:25; James 4:6; Numbers 12; 2 Corinthians 10; Matthew; Mark; Revelation
Some lies don't just pass through our minds — they take root, build walls, and hold us captive. But in Christ, even the strongest strongholds can come crashing down.”

The Bible is very clear that we are to take thoughts captive, those thoughts that stand against the very knowledge of God. But are we? Gas prices, eggs, interest rates, viruses, attacks from enemies, inflation, tariffs, family, health, oh my God what ever will we do? Satan is using your own thoughts to hire you to build strongholds or prisons in your own mind! Do we have an answer for the times we live in? OR are we just subject to whatever this world tosses our way? How does one renew the mind? Lets talk about it.
When you sin, does it give Satan a legal right to attack you? I feel like I've given the enemy twenty seats at my table, and now I have so many strongholds to get rid of in my life. Is that right? How can I fix this?
What we expose our minds to influences and shapes us in significant ways often beyond our conscious awareness. Using various Scriptures, this message will deepen our understanding of mind exposure and increase our vigilance to protect our minds. Speaker: Kyle Idleman
