Pastor Dawn has been inquiring of the Lord, and God has been revealing Liberty's future to us. With arms wide open and a heart filled with love for us, God has spoken a clear word for Liberty and our future. The VISION brings purpose and creates hope. Our MISSION, which is “loving God passionately and serving others significantly,” is what we do each day to go forward in the vision. Pastor Dawn lead us in declaring, “I am the Encounter someone else needs,” as we renewed our resolve to “partner with Jesus to embrace, display and share God's love,” which is central to our mission. We have to keep faith alive in our hearts and keep the vision alive in our spirit. Then Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our Father God are going to follow through and bring the vision to pass!

Pastor Bill Vanderbush elevated our understanding of the prophetic language God uses in His Word so we could see our identity in Christ from His perspective! From Genesis to Revelation, he exposed how God judges us as righteous, based on what Jesus has done! All creation is waiting to be set free—longing for us to have the revelation of our authority in Christ so we can let the grace and the goodness and the glory of God be on display in us!

The local Church is the most powerful and effective institution on earth because we have been set in place by God for His purpose. We feel God's presence at Liberty to Xpand and be transformed to go beyond where we feel comfortable, and to boldly and authentically represent Him. He will keep us aligned with Him, and promote us in our true calling to passionately love Him and significantly serve Him and others in uncompromising obedience to His heart. In a prophetic activation, Pastor Dawn called forth the deposits in the people of Liberty by wonderful ministers of God who have come to our local Church this year: an urgency that Jesus is coming back soon, an awakening to bold action, to utilize our gifts, to obey God and invest in people, to see by the spirit and walk in authority, to experience “grace upon grace” and to overflow with His love, to awaken our mouths to praise Him, to prophecy and speak truth, healing, freedom and restoration in Jesus encounters! Amen!

We recognize that God has done amazing things through us at Liberty in the past, and that is stirring us up TODAY to choose for multiplying over merely maintaining. The Lord is doing a new thing, and we must let the Holy Spirit quicken us to act on His behalf for what He wants to do next. Isaiah 61 is our mandate for going forward. We are going to accomplish this with the gifts and deposits the Holy Spirit has made on the inside of us, so we must pursuit Holy Spirit and desire Him above all else. The challenge is that we leak, so we can't stop desiring Him! Herbert led us in an amazing time of intentionally pursuing the Holy Spirit and going deeper in Him, personally and together at the same time!

Pastor Dawn encouraged us to not be weary in doing good! God has given us a mandate to demonstrate the Word with faith and supernatural power, to announce what the world needs to hear, to heal the broken-hearted, to make a declaration of freedom, and to bring people from the kingdom of darkness into God's Kingdom of light. Pastor Dawn and the Elders lead us in a prophetic action of being equipped with a mantle of His presence and then sharing that mantle of being more mindful of Him and His Word and His power than we are of our circumstances or our problems. As we partner with Him to do the little things and the big things He asks of us, we will see that He is moving for us!

Since sin entered the world with Adam and Eve, we have been “in a war” and God is angry every day with the devil for hurting the ones He loves. It's grace that gets you from where you are to where God wants you to be, and it's grace that helps you understand the victory that God has already provided and shows you how to maintain a changed life. A foundational understanding that we are saved by grace and that Jesus gave us His righteousness helps us to live by the truth that sin no longer has any power over us! Jesus didn't take away the rules—He fulfilled them! If you find yourself following the rules in order to be righteous, then you will be unsatisfied because Jesus wants you to be righteous by grace and enjoy true freedom by relying 100 percent on the love of God!

We are in an exciting time because last year God said He has re-established Liberty, and this year He said we are XPANDING. God is continuing to unveil how we will move forward into what God has planned for us. Pastor Dawn helped us look back at what God has done for us, so we could get excited about what He has done for Liberty since “Day 1” and see that He has never forgotten His promises. He has touched many lives, each one a “diamond” for Him, and in the journey He has built our hearts together as one! Pastor Dawn encouraged us to value being a part of Liberty's XPANSION, to recognize that each seed planted has a harvest coming even now, and to not leave our spiritual harvest in the field!

Without a doubt, the two most consequential things that happened to all mankind happened in the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane. In the Garden of Eden, Adam gave in to temptation and those things still tempt us. But Jesus, in His eventful garden moment said, “Not my will but Yours,” and in that moment He empowered us to overcome our human frailty! Justin drew a stark contrast between the two gardens, and Jesus's example of how to overcome the specific temptations of: 1) ambition versus godly discontent, 2) maintaining personal comfort versus multiplying, 3) hiding from blame versus taking ownership of the situation, and 4) lifting self up versus lifting God up! What Jesus did to overcome for us, His determination inspired love, is calling us to lay down our lives for Him!!

God wants to bless us in a thrust FORWARD, because He wants us to get out of our “boxes” and get into what He views as normal! God has called us to function in a certain way, and it includes the supernatural and miracles! Once you get moving in the things God desires for you, the more you will want to move forward. You must overcome the weeds in your life, like fear and apathy, by being even hungrier for God and by letting spiritual vision be the motivating force of God for His Church. Wherever we are, we are the fire of the Living God and nothing is impossible for us! In the end, God MOVED all of Liberty forward into a new place in Him, as Pastor Dawn modeled what God is saying to us by radically praying for and prophesying to each person in the service.

Pastor Dawn expanded on the Mission and Vision of Liberty to partner with God to disciple and empower and transform people, by embracing them and displaying and sharing His love with them. If you love God passionately He will send you out to bring them in to His Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is going to be your passion, and you will love people of all nations. This is the burning passion of Liberty Life Center and the passion of God's heart for us, to provide an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is welcome and free to move however He desires. This is our DNA. God is ready to reveal the weightiness of His glory, and you are ready to be commissioned. You are just one spiritual experience away from being a transformed person, trusting Him and able to partner with Him, with His glory filling your temple! He wants us to be His voice!

Edição de 26 Junho 2025

Pastor Dawn exhorted us to be the “living Church of the Living God!” We must stand firm and be the people of God, trusting Him, seeking Him, praising Him, and fulfilling our purpose. We must not be focused on the darkness, but be declaring His greatness, His goodness, His blessing and His glory! We need to recognize that we must spend our time and energy on things of eternal value. The only thing we can take to heaven with us is souls! It is time to rise up with determination and declare who He is to everyone. We must be the Church who trusts God, faces adversity without taking our eyes off of Him, praises Him through everything. We are breaking the chains off, and serving up true Life in Jesus to others!

We are celebrating Pentecost Sunday, the 50th day after Jesus Christ's resurrection, in an acknowledgment that God is XPANDING and shifting us with fresh empowerment for all that He has for us. When the fire from heaven is present, we are immersed beyond ourselves, and we become one with heaven, while we are still here on earth. Worship connects us to God, and floods us with God Himself! The New Testament Church that was birthed on the Day of Pentecost will continue to pour out our love to Him until the day of His return! He will give us what we need to be His witnesses!

[kc_row use_container="yes" _id="851399"][kc_column width="12/12" video_mute="no" _id="85213"][kc_column_text _id="375246"] The final words of Jesus to His disciples before leaving earth was a command to engage in discipleship. He demonstrated what He expected and empowered them to mirror in His methods. The type of disciple Jesus is seeking in the Twenty-first Century is no different than what He produced in His disciples during His three years of active ministry on the earth. The Holy Spirit aids and empowers you in your personal spiritual formation as a disciple, and helps you to develop others similarly to enjoy His Presence. It is the journey of a lifetime as you learn to partner with God, in obedience and humility, to spread His goodness and glory over all His creation.  [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

Today, God restored hope and joy as He had us focus on truly understanding His heart of love for us. Holy Spirit moved and we were able to lay aside the challenges we are facing, and the trials and temptations of the past, and move into the future with God, and the oneness with God that He desires for us. If only we understood that He views us with such love and considers us the pinnacle of creation, His masterpiece, then we would respond to His love and come into communion with Him as He desires. We responded by getting out of our boxes and out of our comfort zone, into His heart, and just enjoying His presence. [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

[kc_row use_container="yes" _id="603398"][kc_column width="12/12" video_mute="no" _id="516484"][kc_column_text _id="126224"]For Mother's Day, Pastor Dawn told the story of Jochebed, mother to Miriam, Aaron and Moses, and how she showed great trust in God's faithfulness as she raised her family to fulfill their godly destiny in a time when the ruler of Egypt was set to bring destruction to God's people. Pharoah had a plan, but God had put generational inheritance on the inside of Jochebed, as she tapped into the Presence of God to give her wisdom to secure the future. Jochebed had a relationship with God that enabled her to gain the wisdom she needed as He ordered her steps to preserve the life of her child, the one who would someday bring deliverance to their nation. God has a good plan for you and your children, and He has everything already in place to secure the future He has mapped out for you and your children. God honors honoring God!  As you put your trust in Him, You will receive miracles of timing and supernatural preservation! [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

We can have faith for healing because healing is one of God's attributes. God has always intended for His people to walk in wholeness in every way! Healing brings glory to God and releases gratitude and worship from pure hearts. As God's people remember all His benefits in salvation and wholeness, we will rise into the revelation of His Word and be healed. The Church is being restored in the knowledge that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, and that healing is ours. As we step into the fullness of our inheritance, we will present this wonderful truth to others and stand healed to heal. [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

Jesus's baptism shows us so clearly that as our Savior He identifies with sinners, even though He Himself was sinless. Just as the windows of heaven opened at Jesus' baptism, you also can expect the windows of heaven to open for you, and grace to come upon you to fulfill your godly purpose and destiny. This baptism is your “water tomb,” and you can have faith that your old self is being buried under the water and you are rising to a new life in God! It is beautiful that the first action in His earthly ministry was baptism, and His last thing of earthly ministry was to tell us go baptize others in His name!

Salvation in the Name of Jesus is the first miracle you need to receive. Whatever your sin, the blood of Jesus can forgive you and wash you clean in one great moment of transformation! Heaven becomes real and death has lost its victory because the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead comes to live inside every believer. Lissette gave the beautiful testimony of the miracle that happened in February when her granddaughter, Jestina, suddenly lost consciousness and as God's people prayed, Jestina received a notable miracle and her life was saved! Jesus commissioned us to make disciples and gave us His authority—all authority. Pastor Dawn extended these three opportunities to everyone—salvation in the name of Jesus, healing in the name of Jesus, and baptism in the name of Jesus. We ended with beautiful salvation and healing prayers made available to everyone, and next week we will have baptism. [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

It also denotes the end of the sacrificial system of condemnation, and the beginning of Christ's victory for us over sin and sickness and death! Jesus also announced that He is sending the Holy Spirit to be our Helper since He could not stay. This last week was an emotional week for Jesus in His humanity, as He contemplated the suffering that was coming, and faced the truth that His work on earth was finishing up. Now, nearly 2,000 years later, it is an emotional time for us as we contemplate Jesus's suffering for our sake, and share in His resolve to finish the work He began.

Justin Taylor, one of Pastor Dawn's spiritual sons, gave us a deeper understanding of the Parable of the Sower and how to cooperate with Jesus in tending the garden of our life. The key to a fruitful life is having deep roots, but every garden has weeds and stones hidden beneath the surface that must be dealt with so we can grow in God! Weeds in our garden of life are the cares and pleasures of life, things that might not be evil but they separate us from God and choke our roots and fruitfulness. Stones represent sin or compromise that hinder root development in your relationship with God. Justin gave us very practical ways to deal with the weeds with God's help, and to uncover the stones and choose to do the work to dig them out and live stronger for God!  Once you choose to be free for your roots in God to go deeper, then you realize God helps you and you don't have to do it in your own strength. It is God's will and pleasure to fulfill you and release the greatness He has hidden inside you!

Pastor Dawn is continuing this life-changing series on how to receive and XPAND your 30, 60, 100-fold harvest from the “Parable of the Sower.”  We need to turn our ground—our heart—from being hardened, unbelieving, shallow, and neglected to being good soil for God so we can have eternally fruitful lives for His glory. Spiritual fruit comes when we set our minds on investing in our relationship with Jesus. Pastor Dawn made it easy by identifying 10 areas in which we can intentionally grow so we can realize God's DNA is our true identity and bear 100-fold fruit for God. Focusing on these things will help us confront and conquer our enemy the devil, stay consecrated to God and not give up, and enjoy the win!

Apostle Ken Malone and his wife Cheryl of Forerunner Ministries in Satellite Beach, Florida, were with us for a 2-day Church Revival this weekend.  Apostle Ken shared very personally how the Lord delivered him from the spirit of poverty, which is a horrible religious spirit. And praise God, he imparted a revelation of grace, blessing, abundance, double portion, and how to decree it and walk in it! God is able to make grace abound to each of us—grace upon grace, because God wants His people to be successful! Apostle Ken expounded on the meaning of 2 (agreement/double) and 5 (grace/double for our trouble) to reveal the abundant “grace upon grace” that God has for us in 2025. God has empowered our decrees against the strongholds of the enemy. Apostle Ken blessed Pastor Dawn and Liberty, and then he called up everyone who wanted prayer for a double portion, and he and Pastor Dawn prayed with them. It was a beautiful time of empowering each person with a double portion of God's grace and favor!

While Jesus was on earth, it is recorded that He asked many questions—about 307 specific questions, by one estimate.  Jesus modeled for us how to strategically ask questions that go to the heart of a matter and cause each person to evaluate and dig deeper, and in the process help each person awaken spiritually and grow in spiritual understanding. A question Jesus asked His disciples that increased their understanding was, “Who do men say that I am?”  Then Jesus asked His disciples, “But who do you say that I am?” Today, Jesus wants to ask this question of us. He knows what the world says about Him, what other religions say about Him, even what satan says about Him, and He is not moved. But He is personally interested in what YOU have to say in answer to that question. He wants to be your Savior and Lord and have a relationship with you.

God has written a scroll of divine assignments for each one of us, and the Holy Spirit will help us do the will of our Father, just as Jesus always did. Then Pastor Dawn asked several people to give testimonies of how the Holy Spirit lead them to each person that they prayed with at the Town of Davie Orange Blossom Festival this weekend. We are celebrating our XPANDING! [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

Pastor Dawn presented the importance of Isaiah 61, as the mandate from the heart of God for our Church and for our very lives! We have XPANDED on our re-established foundation in this last year with relevant teaching on how to receive a Word of Knowledge and the Names of God, and that nothing is impossible with our God! Now we are intentionally focusing on the harvest of souls as our number one thing, and receiving strategies and strength to preach the good tidings of Jesus to the poor and needy. We must live our lives purposefully and make the most of our time!

First, Pastor Dawn listed 10 benefits of prophecy and how it changes your life and increases your faith. Then, Pastor Dawn made a strong case for knowing clearly what the Word says about who God is and about who you are in God!  You need to understand that because God thinks strategically and in terms of victory, you can have His plans come to pass when you know who He is and that He has given you dominion—the power to rule and reign with Him!  God has given you the ability to think higher and align circumstances in the world to what He says. You are God's son or daughter, and you need to rise up and be who God has called You to be, and not be afraid to represent Him—or "re-present Him!" Breaking generational curses, winning against poverty mentality, and letting go of natural mindsets will release you from fear and insecurity, so you can XPAND and be a demonstration of the glory of God!

On Super Bowl Sunday, Pastor Dawn took the opportunity to let the world know that God has chosen us to win, and that Jesus is our Champion! God said in our prophetic word for this year that He is intersecting Heaven and earth, so we can put our faith on partnering with Him in “going for the touchdown” for the BIG win. It is all for souls saved and people living their life for Jesus as Lord and Savior! Several testimonies from football star Tim Tebow inspired us to see that it is the things we do with God's heart for others (fishing for souls) that gets us to the end zone!  Prayer changes things, and the people of God have to “take it by force” for the final win!  We speak into the spiritual realm and take back our joy, take back our children from the land of the enemy, take our health and prosperity back, and openly proclaim Jesus as Lord for the final win! We know Jesus didn't come here to lose!

Elder Jonathan Farrell expounded on how 2025 has to be a different kind of year for us because God has said it is a year for us to go farther, to XPAND God's Kingdom in every significant way.  Focusing our attention on Jesus, and letting Him be our Treasure that we give up everything else in order to possess, will lead us deeper into loving obedience to God. If we want to do big things for God, it means tuning in and willingly obeying God in the little things. Anytime we obey Him in the small things it prepares us for more. We need to pray daily, “Help us be the people this year who can EXPAND ourselves into Who You are!” Then we will be able to XPAND and believe for God to show up in notable ways and notable miracles!

If we truly believe that Jesus is coming back soon, nearer than when we first believed, every sign happening right now, near and at the door, then there needs to be an urgency that grips our hearts! We are not ashamed of the gospel, so we must seize the moment, receive grace for each day, live holy, pray and GO with the fire and glory of God to advance His Kingdom! There is only one thing better than heaven for you, and that is all the people you take with you to heaven will make heaven even better for you! God doesn't care near as much about you getting your blessing as He cares about you getting your neighbor saved and on the way to heaven! [/kc_column_text][/kc_column][/kc_row]

Pastor Dawn's beloved mentor, Bishop Rick Thomas of Abundant Life in Margate, Florida, blessed our congregation with godly wisdom on how to be a friend of God and receive His favor on your life! The same attributes that brought God's extreme favor on Abraham's life will bring God's extreme favor on your life, too. You will see God release faith and favor for souls to be saved, for unusual miracles when you pray, and for supernatural increase in your finances. You will also see God release in you a spirit of generosity because He Himself takes great pleasure in the prosperity of His children. Generosity is a key in fulfilling God's promise to make sure your future is always greater than your past!

After worship, Pastor Dawn opened up the front and called on Elders and Leaders to pray for everyone who needed healing. Many received healing prayer. Pastor Dawn gave a fiery first-hand account of attending the week of special healing meetings with Evangelist Ankit Rambabu at Abundant Living, and everything she learned. Through her teaching, Pastor Dawn imparted a determination into all of us to receive all that God has for us this year! God has commanded us to XPAND this year, and we are discovering that God has given us just what we need to align with Him and let Him XPAND us as He desires. Our YES even before He speaks is what attracts Him to us so He can release His fullness on our behalf!

Pastor Dawn introduced “XPAND” as the theme that God has given us for this new year of 2025! God is going to extend extreme grace and favor to His people as we intentionally—on purpose with great determination—move in His power and peace to fulfill our assignments for the Kingdom of God. The Holy Spirit is drawing us into revelation in God's Word, and He is moving us beyond our natural abilities to partner with us to fulfill the desire of His heart! We believe many will come to know Jesus this year, and signs and wonders will be natural to us if we stay close and obey Him!
