In this prophetic and hope-filled episode, Pastor Sam opens Psalm 103:3–5 and reveals the power of the “Holy He” who defines your next season. These three verses capture the Gospel in a nutshell: He forgives all your sins, He heals all your diseases, He redeems your life from the pit, He crowns you with love and tender mercy, and He fills your life with good things. Drawing from Acts 10:43, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13, Romans 8:1, 1 Peter 2:24, Psalm 84:11, Isaiah 40:31, and Jeremiah 29:11, Pastor Sam declares that if your past is forgiven, then your healing, your clarity, your strength, and your breakthrough are next. This message calls you to step into a new season—not just a new year—with renewed identity, restored joy, and the soaring strength of the eagle. Get ready to rise above the storm, walk in God’s full redemption, and see good things come your way as you enter the season He prepared for you.
In this powerful message from Jonah 2:9–10, Pastor Sam reveals the supernatural impact of thanksgiving offered before anything changes. Jonah didn’t wait for daylight or deliverance—he praised God in the darkness, and heaven responded. This teaching unfolds three life-shifting truths: 1. Thanksgiving shifts the atmosphere before the circumstance changes. Jonah’s environment stayed the same, but his spirit shifted. Gratitude is not a reaction—it’s a revelation of faith. 2. Thanksgiving activates God’s command over your situation. “Then the Lord ordered the fish…” (Jonah 2:10). Jonah praised, and God spoke. Thanksgiving triggers divine intervention. 3. Thanksgiving turns what swallowed you into what propels you. The very thing that tried to bury Jonah became the vehicle that launched him into purpose. Praise still carries that power today. With references to Psalm 100:4, Philippians 4:6–7, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and Habakkuk 3:17–18, this message reminds us that gratitude is a weapon, a garment, and the key that unlocks God’s favor.
In this transformative message, Pastor Sam reveals a powerful truth: in Christ, you are already “there” vertically — saved, forgiven, and rooted in God’s promise — but many of us are only inches away from stepping into what God has prepared for us horizontally in our everyday lives. Through the stories of Noah, Joshua, and Lot’s wife, you’ll discover how to finish the year with clarity, faith, and spiritual alignment. Learn how to: • Spend time with the Holy Spirit • Declare God’s promises again • Refuse to be defined by your past • Cross into what God designed specifically for this season If storms, distractions, or unexpected battles tried to derail you, this message reminds you that your enemies drown in your breakthrough, your momentum is not lost, and there is still time for every promise God ordained for you and your family to come to pass.
There are some storms you weren’t supposed to avoid—you were designed to outlast them. In Mark 4, the storm tried to drown them. In Mark 5, deliverance, freedom, healing, identity, and generational restoration broke loose. The same is true for you. If you survived the storm, there is deliverance on the other side. Your chains are already broken. Freedom isn’t coming—it’s here. And what God heals in you doesn’t stop with you. When the bleeding stops in your life, the breathing begins in your family, your home, and your future. This message will remind you: You are free from what tried to break you. You are free to step into purpose, peace, and glory. You don’t have to wait for a breakthrough—your faith can activate it. You survived the storm. Now watch what God releases next.
From Famine to Eternal Legacy: The Ruth Revelation – Reaping Redemption in the Fields of Grace Description: In this revelatory teaching, Pastor Sam walks us through the prophetic layers in the story of Ruth—highlighting a divine pattern of redemption, transformation, and destiny. From famine to fullness, from loss to legacy, this message is a declaration that your past can’t cancel your purpose. Through the lens of Ruth 2–3, Pastor Sam unpacks three foundational biblical doctrines that shape every believer’s journey: Main Points: Justification – From Leftovers to Overflow (Galatians 2:16, John 4:38, Romans 5:1) You’re reaping what Jesus sowed. What began as survival in the fields has turned into supernatural provision. You're justified by faith—no longer picking up scraps but carrying bundles of blessing. Sanctification – From Process to Promise (1 Thessalonians 5:23, Titus 3:5, Isaiah 61:10) Naomi told Ruth: wash, perfume, and dress—because proximity to Boaz required preparation. Likewise, God is preparing you in private for what He’s about to bless in public. Submission – From Humility to Destiny (Ruth 3:9, 1 Peter 5:6, James 4:10) Ruth lay at Boaz’s feet and asked to be covered. Your posture determines your portion. When you surrender at the feet of Jesus, you receive full covering—spiritually, emotionally, generationally. Whether you’re coming out of Moab or already on your way back to Judah, this message is your reminder: You are justified. You are sanctified. You are covered. And your legacy is secure in the hands of your Redeemer. Scripture Focus: Ruth 2–3, Galatians 2:16, John 4:38, Romans 5:1, Deuteronomy 6:10–11, 1 Thessalonians 5:23, Titus 3:5, Isaiah 61:10, 1 Peter 5:6 Listen now and step into your divine harvest.

In a world that labels conviction as extremism and strength as oppression, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez delivers a prophetic call to arms for men to rise—not in toxic aggression, but in holy authority.

From Joshua’s unwavering declaration to Gideon’s altar confrontation, from Joseph’s quiet obedience to the cultural hunger of Gen Z—this message ignites a movement of men who are dangerous to hell, indispensable to heaven, and unshakable on Earth. Pastor Sam outlines three marks of a dangerous man: He leads with conviction, not comfort. He tears down the altars of generational compromise. He obeys the voice of the Father over public opinion. This isn't about macho pride. It's about men who pray like priests and fight like warriors. Men who protect their homes, speak truth in love, and fear God more than culture.
