**This Sunday’s message from Pastor Jon Purkey will change your life.**

In a bold, Spirit-led word titled *"The Power of His Presence,"* Pastor Jon reminds us that without God's presence, we are powerless, directionless, and spiritually dead. But with His presence? We have power, peace, transformation, and purpose.

🔥 This message dives into:

- Why **truth over tolerance** still matters

- The real cost of **spiritual compromise**

- How the Holy Spirit **sets you apart**

- Why **success without God is failure in disguise**

- A powerful **altar call with lives radically changed**

- How to live fully in the **power and presence of the Holy Ghost**

This isn't a sermon for the faint of heart—it's a **wake-up call to the church**, a declaration of war against fear, division, and watered-down Christianity. Watch until the end for a **Holy Spirit-led moment of salvation and breakthrough** unlike anything you’ve seen.

He turns sorrow into dancing, ashes into beauty, defeat into victory, and endings into new beginnings. What the enemy meant for evil, God flips for good!

Overcoming the Tempter

Have you ever felt like you’re on the mountain top in one area of life, only to be in the deepest valley in another area?

How do you handle going from heaven’s approval, to hell’s attack?

The account of Jesus in the gospels being led in to the desert and tempted by Satan provides a clear and resounding example of understanding the right response and posture to have when we are at a low point and the enemy’s temptations come calling!!!!!

First of all, anchor yourself in the knowledge that being in the wilderness isn’t punishment, it’s preparation.

🔥DESTINY DEMANDS A DESERT🔥

Victory in private will always precede power in public!!!!!!

Jesus embodies this truth perfectly, in Matthew 4:1-11. Through this trial He faced, we can be confident that our Savior has been tested in every way, and we know He can empathize with us, just like Hebrews reminds us!

Satan tempts Jesus three times, in three different ways:

•Tempting of Proving Yourself

•Temptation of Pride

•Temptation of Reputation

Jesus’ responds EVERY TIME with scripture, showing us that the way to combat the enemy’s lies and temptations is with the truth of the Word.

Our flesh won’t defeat the enemy.

Our emotions won’t defeat the enemy.

Our willpower don’t defeat the enemy.

SATAN IS DEFEATED BY THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD

When he comes in with his whispered lies, offering all the treasures of this world, remember this:

You don’t need what the devil is offering, you serve a king who owns it all!!!!

Stand firm in the truth of the Word, resist the enemy, he will flee, and you will be strengthened in your faith!

The faithful LOVE of the Lord NEVER FAILS!

Why Jesus?

Because He comes for us as we are. Because He beat death and offers us life. Because the world’s promises fade, but His word stands forever. He is alive. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Following Him may cost us everything, but it gives us everything that actually matters….purpose, peace, and eternal hope.

Matthew 10:39 • John 14:6 • Romans 5:8 • Revelation 1:18

Faith.

It is the currency of God’s Kingdom. Without it, it’s not only impossible to please the Lord but it’s impossible to fulfill God’s plan for your life. Our faith is built on our belief. What we really believe about God’s Word shows not in what we say, but in our actions.

Faith not only speaks, it moves, alive and active. Challenge yourself to speak ONLY faith based truths, based on what God’s Word says. The profession of your mouth creates the reality of your life.

Do not allow the devil to deplete your faith and steal your confident trust in the promises of God’s Word!!!
