- Say It Before You See Itby The River on May 8, 2025 at 2:00 am
In today's message, Pastor Jack encourages us to speak life into our circumstances before we see the results, just as God did when He declared light into darkness. He reminds us that our words have the power to shape our future, urging us to refrain from speaking negativity over our lives, families, or challenges. Instead, we’re called to declare God’s promises—like healing, provision, and restoration—even when the situation seems hopeless. Pastor Jack shares biblical examples, such as Abraham’s faith and Jesus’ victory, to show how speaking in faith unlocks breakthroughs. He warns against letting envy or doubt silence our declarations and challenges us to "scratch the record" of negative words we’ve repeated. Ultimately, this message invites us to imitate God by saying what He says—speaking light into our darkness and trusting Him to bring it to pass.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!
