"Okay, Pastor Deb. I understand free will. I understand that people can choose evil. But what about when somebody's evil choice results in death?"
What about the child who was killed?
The innocent victim?
The person who went to work and never came home?
The person who happened to be in the wrong place when somebody else made a horrible choice?
Where was God then?
And why would God permit death?
That's where this c...
“If God allowed it, doesn't that mean God caused it?”
No.
And that's an important distinction.
Permission is not participation.
The Bible never requires us to call evil good just because God had the power to prevent it.

Have you ever noticed that throughout Scripture, God often met people in the middle of their work before entrusting them with greater Kingdom responsibility?
This is true of Moses, David, Amos, Gideon, Peter, Andrew, James, John, Matthew, Elisha, Lydia, Paul, and many others.
The Bible has been talking about labor long before America declared a Labor Day.

Ask for the stuff that steers you through the mess and sometimes keeps you from stepping in it to begin with.
Let’s be real, some of us are praying for God to airlift us out of situations that wisdom would’ve helped us avoid in the first place. We’re asking for peace, when the truth is: peace without wisdom is just a quiet storm. It looks calm… until the lightning hits.
James 1:5 says...
If you’re in a Numbers season—where it feels dry, repetitive, and like nothing exciting is happening—just know this: God is organizing your life, calling you to accountability, and preparing you for battle.
He’s not skipping over you. He’s counting you in.
And if you’ve been tempted to check out during the “boring parts” of your journey—hang in there. Even...
Let’s get something straight right out the gate: God ain’t trying to burn you out. That’s the world’s job.
This culture will have you thinking that if you’re not up at 4 a.m. with a triple espresso, ten open tabs, and five side hustles—you’re lazy. That if you’re not grinding 24/7, you're wasting your potential.
But God doesn’t bless burnout. He blesses ob...
In all fairness, if all that’s being considered is the religious system man has labeled Christianity, complete with politics, scandals, prideful preachers, and cultural add-ons, then yes, the perceived arrogance is understandable. Tolerable, even.
Why? Because all religions are man-made, they are fallible. Religion as a whole often reflects more of us than they do of God, systems of hierarchy tha...
The same God who walked with Abraham, spoke to Moses, and strengthened David over 2,000 years ago is the same God present with you right now—and the only God who will exist beyond eternity. And let’s be honest, eternity is another concept we don’t keep in the forefront of our minds either.

As we embrace a new year… Our themes for this upcoming year are New Year, New Yes. With that thought in mind, I encourage you to ask yourself about your wishlist, and then be honest about how much of what you desire you can take into glory.

When I would not have been nominated for ministry - tearing up the nightclub...letting promiscuity lead, God was shaping my testimony. He is not limited to the version of us everybody sees today or saw yesterday. A FORWARD MOVE MESSAGE
Closing Songs: Freedom Ain't Free & The Me God Wants To See, written and produced by Deborah Ocasio.

Move forward—at all costs.
Yes, the past happened. But it’s over.
- Yes, you made mistakes. But God’s grace is greater.
- Yes, people hurt you, and you’ve hurt people. But healing is available.
- Yes, doors closed. But better ones are opening.
Don’t waste time trying to relive or rewrite yesterday.
Put your faith in drive, your hope in gear, and let God’s Word be y...
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 Ocasio
www.BibleDeliverance.org
Some of us keep returning to familiar people, methods, habits, environments, expectations, and ways of thinking simply because we know the route.
We don't necessarily choose them because they're best.
We choose them because they're familiar.
But familiar doesn't automatically mean fruitful.
The children of Israel struggled with this very thing.
After God delivered them from Egypt, there were moments when life in...
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.&r...
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 ...

Go forth, laugh a little, love a lot, and know that even the tiniest act of kindness can flip the switch on someone else’s darkness. Be blessed, and walk boldly with a smile and peace of Christ in your heart! I say to each of you who know God called you to be light - shine!
CLOSING SONG: This Little Light of Mine by Danell Daymon and the choir group of Greater Works
www.Bib...
Let’s be real—we don’t get to bulldoze our lives and start over in the womb. There’s no “demo and do-over” button for adulthood.
You can’t physically be born again, start at zero, and pretend none of it ever happened.
You’ve got to face it. Own it. And then bring it to the One who specializes in making broken things beautiful.
