**May the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of His suffering.** Join Pastor Mark Cowart in today's inspiring broadcast as he teaches the importance of abiding in Christ to avoid dead works and maintain a vibrant relationship with God. He shows how believers can effectively combat temptation and thrive in their faith. Pastor Mark teaches that we can never arrive at where God has called us in the energy of the flesh, citing Zechariah 4:6 to assert that it's "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord Almighty. He goes on to point us to Romans 8:13, which warns that those who live according to the flesh will die, but if by the Spirit we put to death the misdeeds of the body, we will live.

He references John 15:5 to warn that if we do not properly abide in the vine, we fall into dead works, which are meant to be repented of. Thus, Jesus wanted us back so much that He came to destroy the devil at his own game; as long as we remain and abide in Him and His word abides in us, we destroy the devil in every area of our minds. He warns that if we do not abide in Him, stay in His word, and operate in His truth, we may be susceptible to the same temptation that corrupted Eve's mind. Pastor Mark continues to teach that every born-again Christian is in full-time ministry because Christ has made us able ministers of the new covenant. He explains that the key to answered prayers is to abide in Christ and His words in us, as we lose our way when we're detached from the vine. He encourages us to prioritize God's word and stay rooted in the vine to thrive, or risk shriveling up if we stick to our own ways. He cites John 17:3 to establish that life flows within us as a result of our intimacy with God and fellowship with Him. May 11, 2026

**Join Joseph and Heather Z alongside Alison and special guest Robert Hotchkin as they share insights on unlocking generational bloodline blessings in alignment with Genesis 26. They highlight the transformative power of understanding our identity in Christ and walking in righteousness and holiness as a global ministry.** Robert discusses his theme of unlocking the wells of generational bloodline blessings, emphasizing that this year aligns with Genesis 26. He believes that for those willing to deepen their faith, it is time to redig the wells of generational blessings. He encourages us to seek guidance from the Holy Spirit to identify which generational wells need to be reopened and to discern whether anything within us is obstructing these blessings from flowing. Robert clarifies that Isaac did not become Abraham; instead, he unlocked the generational blessings that his father, Abraham, had established. Heather emphasizes the importance of circumcising our hearts so we do not undermine what God is trying to accomplish through us. Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries Robert instructs us to remember the gifts present in our bloodline and find ways to activate them, especially in the areas where God has called us to serve. He urges us to continuously declare that "all is well with our wells," encouraging us to confront bloodline curses and reject every affliction or anything that does not align with the blessings of the Lord. Alison highlights the importance of embodying our identity in Christ alone, focusing on who God says we are rather than what others say about us. In an interesting turn, Robert declares that God is seeking partners to build extraordinary and seemingly impossible things in situations that seem insurmountable. Heather stresses the necessity of prioritizing God's Word over our circumstances, assuring us that God will meet us at every step. Again, Robert warns against believing that our past defines our future, emphasizing that what lies ahead is a special grace enabling us to create things we've yet to envision, reassuring us that we are not disqualified by our past. He also notes that the blessing of Jairus will come upon us, as Jairus continued to walk with Jesus and witnessed a greater miracle than he initially sought. Furthermore, Robert explains that the enemy has led the church to believe that righteousness and holiness stem from works, performance, religion, or adherence to rules. In contrast, he asserts that righteousness and holiness are revelations of identity, growth opportunities, and manifestations of divine power. He reveals that the simplest way to bring righteousness to earth is by choosing to walk in imparted righteousness and holiness, not driven by the mandates of performance or religion, but from a place of understanding our identity and embracing opportunities. He clarifies that when we walk in holiness and righteousness as our true identity, we extend that privilege to all of humanity, creating a global ministry. Interestingly, he states that Jesus was sent as a declaration of love, acceptance, and identity, allowing Him to operate from a place of identity and not for identity. May 9, 2026

**Even though the devil has a stronghold strategy, we have a breakthrough theology.** Join Brian and Jessy Gibson in today's insightful broadcast as they discuss the importance of praying for our nation and its leaders. They explore the concept of spiritual strongholds that hinder personal and collective progress, while navigating us through ways to destroy these strongholds. Brian and Jessy express their sadness over the unfortunate situation at the White House, where there has been another assassination attempt against President Trump. They emphasize the need to pray for the safety of our president and our nation, referencing 1 Timothy 2:1, which encourages petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving to be made for all people, including kings and all those in authority, so that we may lead peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This, they note, is good and pleases God our Savior.

In an intriguing twist, Brian reveals that the enemy establishes strongholds in our lives to hinder our progress, holding people captive to various kinds of sin. He explains that these strongholds create barriers that prevent us from moving forward, citing 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, which reminds us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Brian warns that the battle begins in the mind, as the enemy introduces a thought that evolves into an argument, ultimately leading to a stronghold. This is why God's word instructs us to take every thought captive. Jessy encourages us to reject any thought that is not aligned with God and to combat it with God's word. Brian reassures us that the weapons available to us are more powerful than any stronghold we face, proclaiming a breakthrough in our lives. He further asserts that no giant can withstand the power of God, while Jessy cautions against focusing more on the giant than on the giant slayer. She urges us to step out boldly to confront the giants in our lives so that our children will not have to face the same challenges. May 6, 2026

**In Red Church today, Joseph Z teaches on the 21 gifts of the Spirit and how they empower believers to impact the world. He emphasizes the importance of kingdom alignment, financial generosity, and understanding our purpose in activating God's blessings.** Joseph teaches that there are 21 gifts of the Spirit that operate within the body of Christ, and we are called to go out into the world and allow these gifts to make an impact, for as God is, so are we in this world. He asserts that our faith is the power that brings the world to its knees, and we are called to embody the spirit of Elijah, which reconciles the fathers with the sons. He cites Ephesians 4:11 to clarify that the gifts available to us are meant for the equipping and edifying of the body of Christ. Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries He reveals that the church is anointed to overcome because we are part of Jesus, with the spirit of just men made perfect. He warns that we are being pressed into a time of great adversity, but asserts that this is also a time when the greatest blessings will break through; for, though it was dark in Egypt, there was light in Goshen. He explains that we must be positioned for these blessings through kingdom alignment, tribal alignment, and by being in the places where God has purposed us to be. As we move forward in this season, Joseph emphasizes that we need to be healthy, wealthy, properly situated, and aware of who we are, the people we are aligned with, and what our purpose is. We are also expected to be clear-headed and clear-minded, to have a revelation of the gospel, and to understand that everything God gives us is meant to spread His covenant throughout the world. He clarifies that grasping these concepts will help break the back of darkness. In an interesting turn, Joseph teaches that we activate financial blessings and remove burdens from our lives through giving and sowing. Joseph further explains that the only way to break the spirit of mammon in our lives and step into God's economy is to give generously. He insists that a heart of generosity dismantles the spirit of mammon, asserting that every time we give, we are sowing into our future. He also mentions that we are currently in the midst of four years of redemptive instability and shares what to expect in 2027. He assures us that we are made for this time, emphasizing that the covenant continues to work even though the Babylonian spirit seems to be rampant in our society. April 19, 2026
