“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Last night I made it into Tampa. Pastor Williams asked, How was everything? I said great. He then asked, “Was there turbulence…” and I paused. You see there was but it was so normal to me that I had to remember we had it. I had a great flight… but I had left out a lot of details… I had actually missed my flight from Sai Paulo to Orlando. The kiosk to check in said it was too early to check in at 9AM… so I got something to eat and waited until 10AM. At 10AM it still didn’t work and there was a super long line to talk to a person. I heard the Lord say, “Go to Terminal 3 When I arrived there was no line. I go up to the desk, hand the lady my info and she says… boarding closed 10 min ago. I wasn’t phased, worried, I just asked, “How can I get on the next flight?” She started typing and 5 min later she handed me a boarding pass. But something was off… I was thinking I needed to spend the night in São Paulo. The flight was leaving in 2 hours. She didn’t ask me for any money… just pointed me to where to go. 🥹🙌 I started thanking God but I felt convicted. Why wasn’t I thanking God before the miracle? When I landed I couldn’t find my luggage… 2 different lanes and no luggage. But I started thanking God. Boom my luggage was off to the side. THIS IS MY POINT: I had been on so many flights and trips where things have gone wrong and worked out that my faith has been built… in that particular area. I almost expect something to go wrong and then work out fine. Some of you know I missed my last flight to Brazil 🇧🇷… practically I’m learning but Spiritually my faith is being built. I’m not saying this to glorify myself. This has been years of “adventures” near tragedies, that all worked out, BUT there are other areas where when something little happens… I freak out. Other areas where things still bother me. Those are areas where the test still need to be passed.

Thank you all so much for such an amazing 2025. I’m about to start my first trip of 2026 thanks to many of you. Don’t forget the Bible reading and Business reading. Talk to you soon! P.S. Come to Brazil 🇧🇷 you can get a same day Passport in Miami.

I’m Looking forward to being with you all in about an hour 🔥

“And God gave “Your Name” wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And “Your Name’s” wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.” ‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬-‭30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So I knew this time last year and the year before that this was the season the enemy would really attack. I didn’t know the exact date the battle would start but I could feel it approaching. Looking back it’s interesting on December 1st I called a fast for the church and that was the same day the attack started, something very unfortunate happened on December 1st, yet it didn’t phase me. The week long fast ended on December 7th but I enjoyed it so much I decided to extend my personal fast on December 9th. On December 14th I was taken to the Hospital and December 19th I got out. Why am I telling you this? There are seasons of testing and timeframes in the Spirit the enemy has. I talk about this in my book, “Following the Cloud”. Daniel prayed for 21 days and during that entire time there was a battle in the Heavens. In the old testament people were put outside the camp for at least 7 days when they were unclean, a picture of sin. Jesus was tested in the wilderness for 40 days. I believe the fight and battle I’m experiencing is a great one leading to promotion. I don’t believe the battle will last longer than 40 days. Would you please keep me in prayer until January 10th? It’s interesting because I travel to the United States on January 16th to go and get refilled at a River Conference and it will be my first time there as a River Pastor. I will also visit my home church, The River Fort Myers. My birthday is on January 23rd. This is a set up for promotion and acceleration. Would you partner with me in prayer that “No Weapon Formed against me Shall Prosper”.
