The woke church is a counterfeit.
It puts on a great performance, but everyone goes home to life as usual. It has great influence but no power.
Why? Because it traded obedience for inclusion.
Jesus said, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My commands.”
Obedience is the prerequisite for seeing God’s power. That’s why miracles are absent in the woke church—it’s built on compromise.
But you’re not part of that. You’re the remnant.
And while we may be outnumbered, don’t let that scare you. God has always used a small group of people to accomplish great things.
But He needs our cooperation. You don’t need a platform or a microphone. You just need to fully submit to God.
Obedience is not something we do—it’s who we are. And when it comes from identity in Christ, the power of God is made manifest before our very eyes.
Will you take part in the great end-time revival?
Fuel your boldness by reading my book, Jesus Ain't Woke.
Growing up, we're taught to work hard to overcome our weaknesses.
Then, somewhere along the way, we're told to forget our weaknesses and hone in on our strengths.
Both miss the mark.
The first is doomed to fail. The second is a sure path to pride, ending in destruction.
So what do we do? The Bible gives us a clear answer.
By faith, God turns weakness into strength.
When we trust and completely rely on God, He transforms our weaknesses into something amazing—not by our effort, but by His Spirit.
The only way to truly become strong and courageous is to surrender completely to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Drop the pride. Forget what others think about you. Trust Him to turn weakness to strength. Surrender and go all in.
The Pharisee spirit is multiplying.
Many are falling for its deception because it looks like godliness, but it is all an act.
Just think of all the YouTubers that have made it their life mission to slander everyone they believe is a false prophet.
There is no shortage of commenters to puff them up in their pride-induced mission. Just like Timothy warned us, the last days are full of boastful, proud, and reckless people.
How do you spot a Pharisee? They mock the power of God.
They despise those who are flowing in God's prosperity. They belittle healing miracles. They preach that sin cannot be fully overcome. They minimize the power of God at every corner.
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees!
Don't be fooled by their religious act. There is no true follower of Christ who makes it their mission to slander others in the body of Christ.
The American church has spent many decades in the wilderness, wandering around in sin and weakness, full of gripes and complaints.
It took a pandemic to wake us up. We didn't even know we were in the wilderness! But boy, did we become aware of it over the last four years.
Now the remnant is leading the charge, breaking through barriers, and taking the church to a place of great power and authority.
Challenging times are ahead because we have to do something we are not used to. We must do what God commanded the Israelites to do when they entered the promised land.
We must take on a warrior mindset. As we enter the land of great power and authority, we must drive out everything that gets in the way.
Sin must go. Sickness must go. Mammon must go. Worldly distractions must go. Fear must go. Doubt must go.
Anyone or anything that wants us to ask permission before operating in God's power must go.
It's cleansing time, and we must be ruthless warriors. We must completely eliminate everything that is not of God.
Put on the mindset of a warrior. It's go time.
During our service today at NoLimits, I heard the Lord say:
You don't speak enough.
You think these things and wonder where the problem came from. But you are not speaking My Word to the situation, so it hangs around and wears you out.
If you'll just speak My Word to the situation, you'll find out that it's over.
So, open your mouth and speak!
You don't even have to search it out. The Word of God will rise up in your heart because I have written it there.
If you'll just listen within your spirit, I'll give you My Word to speak over the situation, and My Word does not return to Me void.
Glory to God! No wonder the enemy tries to keep us quiet. No more! Let's do what Jesus has taught us to do in Matt 11:
Open your mouth and SPEAK with great authority!
As one of the prayer leaders for National Day of Prayer in Tulsa yesterday, I was led by the Spirit to do something unexpected.
Sitting on the pew awaiting my turn to pray, Holy Spirit began to reveal what He wanted me to say. It started with, "When you introduce yourself, let them know who I say you are."
As I was wrestling with it, trying to decided if I was going to obey or not, the Lord then reminded me of my prayer the night before, "Whatever you say, Lord, that's what I'll do."
Talk about being backed into a corner! But in the best way. Because I only want to obey, no matter the response and repercussions of others.
I stepped up to the podium and said, "As much as I would love to tell you how I am a pastor from Owasso, I must tell you who I really am. I am Kade Young, an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Then I delivered a powerful message from the Lord about how He is healing the deformed church by restoring the gift of the Apostle and Prophet.
It takes all five gifts listed in Ephesians 4:11 for the church to be whole.
The crowd was awestruck. They began to cheer as the truth was revealed. Jesus entered the room with great authority, and everyone knew it.
To get where Jesus wants us to go, the status quo church must be interrupted so it can be healed and restored.
