The Ongoing Investigation - by Pastor Rosemary Mohammed 21.09.2026 18minIn her sermon delivered at Lighthouse Empowerment Sanctuary in Chaguanas, Guest Minister, Pastor Rosemary Mohammed, preaches an urgent message on spiritual accountability, divine love, and submission to spiritual authority. Grounded in the reality of a heavenly courtroom, she emphasizes that every believer is currently undergoing a spiritual trial of character and commitment.1. The Divine Courtroom and Ongoing InvestigationPastor Rosemary teaches that an active "investigation" is taking place in the spiritual realm. Because humanity was born in sin and separated from God, God established a heavenly court where He acts as the Supreme Judge. Simultaneously, Satan operates as a prosecuting lawyer and accuser of the brethren, searching throughout the earth to see who truly loves God and seeking whom he may devour. Using the Book of Job as a prime example, she explains how Satan tests whether believers serve God out of genuine love or merely for material benefits.2. Love as the Heavenly Currency and DefenceA central pillar of the sermon is that love is the ultimate legal defence in God's courtroom. While earthly courts require money for bail or collateral, God's court operates on the currency of divine love. Jesus Christ acted as our bond man, shedding His blood to pay the price and set believers free from the wages of sin and death. Pastor Rosemary emphasizes that genuine love for God silences the accuser and ensures a favourable verdict when the judicial case closes at the rapture.3. Submitting to Spiritual Covering and Leadership CorrectionPastor Rosemary addresses the vital necessity of remaining under spiritual leadership and receiving correction with humility. Sharing personal testimonies regarding her leaders, Dr. Apostle Brenda and Apostle Conliff, she candidly recounts instances where she received direct correction for hasty actions and improper exits. She warns that reacting in anger, harboring offenses, or abandoning one's spiritual covering creates a dangerous loophole that Satan exploits during his investigation to bring trouble upon families. True spiritual maturity requires swallowing pride, apologizing, and staying connected to assigned leadership.4. Urgent Evangelism and Obedience to the Heavenly CallHighlighting the signs of the times, Pastor Rosemary stresses the urgency of street evangelism and warning the public that Jesus is coming back. She describes taking to the streets with a microphone to preach the Gospel after receiving a divine directive. She urges believers to execute God's instructions with immediate obedience while keeping their spiritual leaders informed to maintain order and spiritual covering.5. Preserving Kingdom Integrity and Closing Open DoorsThe sermon concludes with a call for self-examination, reminding the congregation that leadership carries high accountability. Leaders themselves are subject to divine investigation and must shepherd with love and integrity. Believers are exhorted to close every open door of offense, remain humbled under God's hand, and keep their eyes fixed on the ultimate prize of eternal life in Christ -
Radical Faith Posture 19.09.2026 48minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers an exposition on 2 Corinthians 5:7 ("For we walk by faith, not by sight"), outlining the spiritual posture, moral integrity, and radical surrender required of true believers.1. The Core of the Faith-Walk: Love and Unwavering StabilityApostle Conliff establishes that walking by faith is synonymous with walking in the love of God. Citing scriptural principles on double-mindedness, she warns that a doubter cannot receive anything from God because an unstable mindset destabilizes all of a person's ways. Believers must recognize that God's Word is alive, full of power, and incapable of failure. Rather than relying on physical sight or medical diagnoses, believers are called to declare healing and wholeness by faith, operating beyond emotional "hype" or shouting to align with the Spirit.2. Radical Separation and Eliminating HypocrisyA central theme is drawing a permanent boundary line against worldly compromise, which Apostle Conliff terms "hugging Satan". This includes indulging in or sharing secular music. She vehemently rebukes "acting" or wearing a religious mask, warning that hypocrisy will inevitably be exposed because every individual will stand before the righteous judge. Walking by faith requires consistent righteousness in speech, conduct, and inner meditation.3. Kingdom Stewardship vs. Commercialized ReligionApostle Conliff delivers a stern rebuke against viewing the church as a "money-making business". Clarifying leadership roles, she stresses that pastors are merely stewards and ambassadors over God's people, rejecting possessive labels like "my church". She affirms that Christ alone is the foundation who builds His church. Furthermore, she highlights the financial integrity of the ministry, testifying to seven years of operating without debt through divine obedience and congregational tithing.4. Unconditional Forgiveness, Humility, and Self-SurrenderDrawing from Matthew's instruction on a "single eye," Apostle Conliff mandates a focus on the straight and narrow path. Walking by faith demands:Unconditional Forgiveness: Believers are commanded to forgive others (even up to 70 x 7) regardless of mistreatment.Crucifying Pride: Rebuking spiritual arrogance, she compares Lucifer’s fall to modern pride, warning against fabricating false prophecies to appear "fiery".Yielded Discipleship: Disciples follow Christ rather than trying to "bully" or counsel God regarding personal timing, wealth, or desires.Water Baptism: Baptism fulfills all righteousness, rebuking those who procrastinate getting baptized.Spiritual Maintenance: Believers must continuously refill their spiritual batteries through prayer and the Word to prevent "flatlining" or requiring spiritual CPR.Guarding the Mind: Apostle Conliff cautions against consuming horror media (such as Chucky or Nightmare on Elm Street), which opens doors to demonic spirits, fear, and sleep disturbances.5. Consecration, Spiritual Disciplines, and Guarding the MindThe Apostle addresses practical holiness and spiritual maintenance:Conclusion: Living for What EnduresReferencing Galatians 5:16 and Ephesians 4:1, Apostle Conliff urges the church to walk in the Spirit and live worthy of their calling. Reminding the congregation that earthly accolades and physical beauty do not cross over into eternity, she calls for total surrender, asserting that only what is done for Christ will endure. -
Clanging Cymbals & Empty Vessels 18.09.2026 28minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a sobering message calling believers to abandon empty religiosity, cultivate a deep spiritual thirst, and walk in total consecration. Grounded in scripture, her message emphasizes that divine authority and miraculous power require holy, available vessels who take God at His word.1. Authentic Spirituality vs. Empty "Hype"Apostle Conliff opens by urging the congregation not to fail in their duty to share the gospel. Drawing from the Apostle John's character and writings, she distinguishes true Christianity from mere "hype" or religious formalism. She asserts that believers are not called to be "religious people," but to live a deeply spiritual life in alignment with the Holy Spirit. Preparing for Christ's return requires absolute obedience, following God's direction without double-mindedness or questioning.2. The Dangers of "Playing Church" and CompromiseA major focus is a stern rebuke against living a double life. Apostle Conliff shares a sobering account of a request to pray for a sick churchgoer who lived simultaneously in the church and the world. Through spiritual discernment, she refused to go where God did not send her, noting that at the threshold of death, the individual suffered terrifying visions of dark figures because they played with God’s mercy. She emphasizes that human pride is limited; no matter how powerful someone claims to be, they cannot raise themselves or wash their own hair when death arrives.3. Holy Vessels and MiraclesApostle Conliff teaches that God performs extraordinary miracles, such as the healing of Sister Sandra Boodoo, who arrived needing ushers to lift her up the stairs due to a heart stent and walked down unassisted, through available vessels who "walk holy". She warns that one cannot indulge in worldly partying on Friday night and expect to be used by God on Sunday, as every action carries spiritual consequences.4. Unashamed Worship and Overcoming FearThe Apostle challenges believers to break fear and engage in bold worship rather than remaining "stush" or worrying about foundation and lipstick cracking. Using the analogy of medical visits, she notes that people readily strip down into a blue hospital gown when in physical pain despite the shame. Believers must show that same urgency in glorifying God, using the word of their testimony and the blood of the Lamb to overcome the enemy.5. Thirsting for Living WaterReferencing the Feast of Tabernacles, Apostle Conliff contrasts physical drinks with the "living water" offered by Jesus. She critiques spiritual apathy, such as yawning during worship or watching the clock after 40 minutes, as proof of thirsting for worldly distractions rather than God. Believers must become "addicted to Jesus," using the Word as a lamp to avoid walking in darkness.6. Cleaving to Christ and Avoiding BackslidingApostle Conliff calls the church to fight the "faith fight" rather than fighting in the flesh, echoing Elijah’s call to choose between God and Baal. Sharing her personal testimony of surviving a near-death encounter when God granted her more years to serve Him, she urges believers to cleave to Christ, eliminate gossip, and cultivate a deep spiritual love affair with the Savior. She warns against backsliding, citing the author of "The Anchor Holds," who fell away by taking eyes off the Master to chase earthly things.Rec. Date: 25th September, 2025 -
Christ, Our Abode 17.09.2026 26minApostle Allison Smith Conliff preaches a message grounded in John 15, emphasizing the necessity of abiding in Christ, maintaining personal integrity, and cultivating continuous worship amidst life's trials.1. The Principle and Authority of Abiding in ChristDrawing from John 15:1–5, Apostle Conliff highlights Jesus as the true vine and God the Father as the husbandman. She teaches that true power and spiritual authority come strictly from dwelling and abiding in Christ through prayer and supplication. When believers abide in the realm of Christ, they operate with divine authority to speak to adverse situations, display a distinct spiritual "glow" or radiance, much like Moses coming down from the mountain, and live a consecrated life completely centered on Jesus rather than self.2. Radical Commitment vs. "Convenience" ChristianityApostle Conliff strongly rebukes lukewarmness and divided loyalties, warning against being "children of convenience" who only seek God on Sundays or Thursdays. She critiques the habit of offering God leftovers, whether in time, devotion, or resources, comparing it to giving a friend food remnants after satisfying oneself. Furthermore, she uses a bank beneficiary analogy to illustrate that spiritual inheritance requires an authentic, joint covenant relationship with Christ rather than passive proximity. Believers must properly position themselves directly under the flow of God's anointing rather than standing to the side.3. Moral Integrity, Discipline, and SacrificeAddressing practical ethics, Apostle Conliff asserts that church is not a place to act "anyhow" without discipline. Wanting God's blessings, healing, or promotion without personal sacrifice or surrender is unrealistic, comparing it to expecting a car dealership to give away a vehicle for free based merely on a smile or attractive appearance. She calls for moral ethics, genuine sacrifice, and an end to a "sour" attitude, reminding the church that God is "sweeter than honey in the honeycomb".4. Youth, Education, and the Fragility of LifeReflecting on tragic current events, including the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old man named Kirk and the violent stabbing of a young Ukrainian student, Apostle Conliff highlights the unpredictability of life and the urgency of making things right with God. She issues a direct challenge to young people to qualify themselves by prioritizing their education, pursuing degrees and diplomas, and securing a productive voice in society to serve God effectively.5. Unyielding Worship as the Key to DeliveranceApostle Conliff exalts God as El Shaddai, El Gibbor, and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, declaring that true help comes from the Lord rather than earthly connections. Sharing her personal testimony of surviving severe sickness at age 25 through God's intervention, she urges the congregation to maintain their worship in the midst of trouble. Citing Paul and Silas in prison, as well as Elijah and Mordecai, she declares that unbroken worship breaks prison doors, sends back unclean spirits, and unlocks divine transformation, healing, and favor. -
Lulled and Lukewarm 16.09.2026 54minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful exposition on 1 John 1, calling believers to radical consecration, genuine worship, and total obedience to God's Word. Grounded in the eyewitness testimony of the Apostle John, she challenges the church to move beyond lukewarm religion into an intimate, surrendered walk with Christ.Apostle Conliff opens by examining John's first epistle, noting how John was an available vessel chosen to write to Gentile believers. She emphasizes that John spoke as a direct eyewitness who heard, saw, and touched the Word of Life. This historical reality refutes the false Gentile assumption that sin was harmless or that repentance was unnecessary. Apostle Conliff stresses that all humanity inherited a sinful nature, meaning self-righteousness is a delusion and true salvation requires confessing sin to receive Christ’s cleansing blood.Addressing divine order, Apostle Conliff teaches that promotion and success in God come through obedience to His rules. Drawing from "Word Wednesday" teachings, she emphasizes the mandate to deny self, pick up the cross, and follow Jesus daily. Practical holiness requires a clean break from worldly habits:Severing Unholy Connections: Believers must abandon companions who lead them into rum shops or satanic compromise.Integrity in Relationships: Apostle Conliff rebukes double standards, sharing a counseling case where she instructed a woman to return her ex-spouse's credit card and be content with her husband's honest provision.Ethical Work Ethic: Believers are urged to give their best effort on the job unto Caesar and God, avoiding laziness.Apostle Conliff defines worship as a deep, magnetic "love affair" with Jesus that locks out fear and brings personal deliverance. She notes that water baptism acts as a seal of this covenant marriage with God, giving the believer a new name. Rather than waiting for worship leaders to prompt praise, believers must arrive with personal worship active in their hearts. When individual worshipers unite in corporate worship, strongholds break and God's presence saturates the room.Quoting 1 John 1:5, Apostle Conliff reminds the church that "God is light and in Him is no darkness at all". Walking in darkness while claiming fellowship makes one a false witness. She warns against lukewarmness, asserting that trying to hug both God and the devil results in divine rejection. Believers must choose a clear demarcation of loving God, storing up incorruptible treasures in heaven.Spiritual authority requires stepping out of one's comfort zone through fasting and dedicated prayer. Apostle Conliff notes that effective leadership demands interceding late into the night for others. She illustrates God's sustaining grace by sharing her 1998 testimony; after receiving a prophetic warning about a devastating event, she learned of her mother's passing, discovering that in the midst of grief, God's presence holds believers together and proves His sovereign faithfulness.Rec.

Human Wisdom's Folly 15.09.2026 40minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a message grounded in John 6, focusing on unwavering commitment to Christ, spiritual order, divine accountability, and the nature of God's Kingdom.Apostle Conliff warns believers against turning their backs on Jesus or giving away their salvation regardless of the trial, whether financial crisis, debt, academic pressure, lost relationships, or grief. She emphasizes that human wisdom, intellect, and charisma are foolishness compared to God's wisdom. Believers must depend on God's Word, recognizing that human righteousness is as filthy rags.Examining Jesus' teaching in John 6 on eating His flesh and drinking His blood, Apostle Conliff clarifies that this represents spiritual oneness and a covenant memorial rather than physical consumption. She outlines the divine order of the Church: salvation is followed by water baptism to fulfill all righteousness. Taking communion without proper spiritual alignment and baptism does not yield the divine results intended by God's established institution.Apostle Conliff uses a vivid analogy comparing earthly employment benefits (such as at Metanol, Metanex, PCS, or government agencies) to the Kingdom of God. Just as an employee cannot claim a retirement package from a company where they never worked, individuals living ungodly lives cannot expect a heavenly "retirement package" or crown of righteousness upon death. While mercy is available on earth, judgment awaits at the crossover, and eternal surplus is reserved for those who labor faithfully and live holy lives.The sermon delivers direct practical exhortations for daily Christian living:Purity: Using Mary's purity as an example, Apostle Conliff urges youth to maintain moral purity and wait for a spouse rather than yielding to worldly pressure and premature hardship.Kingdom Investment: She commends church members who labor late into the night preparing God's house, noting that God honors faithful investment of time and strength.Immediate Obedience: Believers are instructed not to "stick" or hesitate when God gives a word, but to activate divine instructions immediately.Honor and Kindness: Citing a funeral experience, she urges believers to honor and bless loved ones while they are alive rather than weeping bitter tears when it is too late.Apostle Conliff stresses that the Kingdom of God is a Theocracy where God rules sovereignly, not a democracy where human opinion dictates divine action. She calls for a teachable spirit, warning against bringing old worldly associations into God's kingdom. Believers must guard their hearts against digital distractions and mockers of God, refusing to share in foolishness or blasphemous media.Reflecting on John 6:60–68, Apostle Conliff notes that when Jesus preached hard truths, many grumbling disciples drew back and walked with Him no more. Addressing Jesus' question to the twelve, "Will you also go away?", she echoes Peter's declaration that only Christ has the words of eternal life. She warns against putting money before the Master (noting Judas' betrayal) and concludes with an urgent call to stay anchored in Jesus as our Fortress and Rock.Rec. Date: 21st August, 2025 -
Singleness of Eye 14.09.2026 21minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful, challenging message on spiritual focus, divine devotion, and the critical choice between earthly hoarding and heavenly investment.1. The Single Eye vs. Spiritual DarknessDrawing from Matthew 6, Apostle Conliff contrasts a "single eye" with an "evil" or "squinty" eye. A single, focused eye fills the entire body with divine light, whereas double-mindedness, greed, and distrust plunge a person into "great darkness". She challenges the congregation to inspect their hearts and maintain an open, disciplined alignment with God’s Word 24/7.2. Stockpiling Treasures in HeavenThe Apostle strongly rebukes the earthly desire to hoard and stockpile material goods, warning that material success without spiritual grounding leads to eternal damnation. True security lies in "stockpiling in heaven" through a dedicated labor of love and service. When a believer prioritizes heaven's business, God provides for their earthly needs without them even needing to pray.3. Rebuking Spiritual Malnourishment and DistractionApostle Conliff diagnoses a widespread state of "spiritual malnourishment," where believers speak about Christ but rarely open their Bibles outside of church services. She also addresses the preoccupation of both children and adults with electronic devices, noting how these distractions steal their potential. Rather than furnishing children solely for earthly success, parents must encourage them to dedicate their talents, such as learning a musical instrument, to serve God.4. Integrity, Humility, and the Illusion of Worldly StatusA major focus of the message is the absolute rejection of showiness, pride, and double standards. Apostle Conliff warns believers against showing off their homes or possessions, which only invites negative jealousy. She also strips away the illusion of material superiority, reminding the church that in death, whether one is buried in an expensive coffin or simple dirt, the rich and the poor face the same grave and the same divine judgment.5. Serving God with Radical JoyFor Apostle Conliff, serving God is not a convenient chore but a joyful, 24/7 reality that must be executed with excellence. True worship does not offer God "scraps," nor does it cancel "thanksgiving" due to unfavorable circumstances or small crowd sizes. Believers must establish a direct, genuine connection with Jesus, actively choosing to walk away from worldly desires and "unholy alliances" to make their calling and election sure.ConclusionThe sermon concludes with an urgent call to reject "double-minded" Christianity. Believers cannot serve both God and mammon. True deliverance and transformation occur only when Jesus enters a person's story, replacing their spiritual blindness with His marvellous light. -
Deadly Double Lives 12.09.2026 32minApostle Allison Smith Conliff expounds on 2nd Timothy 4 and 1st Timothy 3. She delivers a sobering mandate on spiritual consistency, leadership standards, and the process of divine preparation, emphasizing that believers must live blamelessly both in church and at home.1. The Demand for Spiritual ConsistencyApostle Conliff strongly rebukes the "double lives" of believers who appear holy in church but live unholily at home. Citing 2nd Timothy 4, she warns that Jesus Christ will judge both the living and the dead. Hiding from God is impossible. To illustrate the tragedy of hypocrisy, she shares real-life accounts:The Princes Town Nurse: An excellent nurse who secretly produced explicit videos and was ultimately shot, showing the consequences of a compartmentalized life.The Misunderstanding of Holiness: A 46-year-old newly baptized believer who justified sleeping with a man half her age because they were both unmarried, demonstrating a profound ignorance of biblical purity.Marital Fidelity: A leader must be blameless and the spouse of only one wife, humorously noting that "you don't have a spare spouse anywhere".Order at Home: Leaders must rule their households well. If a person cannot manage their own household or children, they cannot care for the house of God.Sober Mindset: Christians must stay alert to physical and spiritual realities in their nations rather than being "so heavenly minded they are of no earthly good".Wine and Deliverance: Believers cannot indulge in wine and expect to effectively operate on the deliverance altar. Indulging in compromise destroys a minister's authority.Rebellion as a Barrier: Rebellion, like getting tattoos after salvation, hinders spiritual service on the altar or hospitality teams.Greed: Apostle Conliff strongly condemns greed, sharing how she witnessed churchgoers taking multiple blessing bags by exiting and entering different doors.2. Spiritual Preparation and the "Process"Using the analogy of doctors, chefs, and engineers, Apostle Conliff explains that spiritual authority is not automatic. Believers must submit to their "process" of waiting and learning rather than fighting God. She warns against placing "new converts" in leadership. Doing so can invite pride, causing them to fall into the same condemnation as Lucifer, who fell from glory due to pride.3. Biblical Qualifications for LeadersAnalyzing 1st Timothy 3, Apostle Conliff outlines the non-negotiable standards required of elders and pastors.4. Rejecting Rebellion and GreedThe Apostle addresses vices that hinder spiritual efficacy.5. Kingdom Order and Practical MercyApostle Conliff explains that God has established an unyielding system that believers must follow. She laughs at a young woman who, after getting baptized, claimed she was safe because she was now a "Christian, Hindu, and Muslim" all at once. True kingdom living requires following God’s rules and showing active mercy. She models this by sharing how she paid for an elderly woman's milk at a grocery store when the grandmother fell short.Conclusion: A Call to Stand FastReminding the church that they are the church, Apostle Conliff urges them to honor God and reject the temporal allure of the world. She offers a powerful concluding prayer, declaring divine intervention, deliverance from demonic oppression, and holy fire over the lives of the congregation.Rec. Date: 7th August, 2025 -
Cultivate the Eternal 11.09.2026 33minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful exposition on 1 Corinthians 13 and 14, challenging believers to cultivate unconditional agape love, spiritual maturity, and absolute reverence.1. The Supremacy of Agape LoveApostle Conliff contrasts transactional worldly love with agape love, the unconditional love of God that has "no strings attached". While spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues are temporary tools that fade when believers enter Christ's physical presence, the Word of God and agape love are eternal. True love is the defining factor of a believer's life. It was love, not Roman soldiers, that kept Jesus anchored to the cross.2. Eradicating Spiritual ChildishnessDrawing from 1 Corinthians 13:11, Apostle Conliff demands that believers put away childish ways. She defines childishness as taking offence over petty slights, such as a busy leader passing by without greeting someone, or gossiping when a member is absent. These behaviors divide churches. Mature agape love assumes the best of others, communicates directly to resolve hurt, and forgives rather than harbouring bitterness.3. The Holy Spirit as the Perfect NavigatorApostle Conliff compares the Holy Spirit to a divine GPS. The Holy Spirit is far stronger than any physical GPS, guiding believers in paths of righteousness, avoiding spiritual drought, and maintaining oneness with the Father without leading them into a "dead-end street". However, staying "one with God" must be a consistent, daily lifestyle, not a fleeting phase maintained only when life is comfortable.4. Rebuking Ministry "Antics" and Financial ManipulationA major focus is a rebuke of spiritual pride and financial "antics" in modern churches. Apostle Conliff recounts a preacher who claimed his expensive shoes reflected a "wealthy anointing," pointing out that Jesus wore dusty sandals on desert roads. She rejects these practices: "the church must not sell out Jesus for money". Lighthouse Empowerment Sanctuary's future headquarters in Freeport will be built cash, refusing bank loans or forced pledges, relying solely on God as their source.5. Spiritual Warfare and the Demonic RealmWarning that "devils are real," Apostle Conliff describes seeing demonic forces chasing people in her sleep and her role in pulling them to safety. She shares the true account of a cursed silk cotton tree at a junction on "Conversation" street, where multiple people died attempting to cut it down, illustrating that demonic strongholds are real. She cautions against entering spiritual warfare on mere "excitement" without Holy Spirit wisdom. Believers must keep busy with God's work: "If you are not busy in God's business, the devil will have you in his".6. Practical Discipline and ReverenceApostle Conliff calls for practical holiness, highlighting:Family Order: Parents must not hand children devices to quiet them during worship, calling it disrespectful to God and His house.Sanctuary Cleanliness: Respecting God means keeping His house physically clean. Natural discipline, like putting things back in place, makes it easy for God to sculpt a believer into a vessel of honour.The Power of Tongues: Tongues are a vital tool for personal edification directed to God and should not be suppressed by "sophisticated" observers.ConclusionApostle Conliff urges believers to feed daily on the Word and guard their hearts. By living a holy, set-apart life, believers can confidently rely on Christ, the solid rock, to navigate life's struggles. -
A More Excellent Way 10.09.2026 17minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful message outlining the supremacy of "agape" love as the "more excellent way". Grounded in the teachings of love's enduring and patient nature, she challenges the congregation to evaluate their hearts and abandon spiritual pride.1. A Complementary, Not Competitive, KingdomApostle Conliff emphasizes that divine love does not boil over with envy or jealousy. Within the body of Christ, believers must recognize that they are "not competitive but complimentary". Rather than comparing talents, such as singing abilities, members must run in their own lanes, using their unique spiritual mindsets to contribute to God's house.2. Faith Countenance Over WorryThe Apostle addresses the necessity of maintaining a faithful countenance even during personal calamity. Sharing a stern correction she gave to Sister Alexander for showing a sad countenance after receiving a bad report, Apostle Conliff reminds the church that they are doing "God's business". She asserts that Jehovah always has the final say and that worrying is futile: "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain".3. Dismantling Pride and False BehaviourA major focus is the requirement of deep humility. Apostle Conliff warns that proud behaviour, resembling a peacock displaying its feathers, expresses "self" rather than God. She urges believers to "swallow your pride" and eliminate rude, unmannerly behavior. A clear sign of a lack of love is ignoring or walking past fellow church brethren in public spaces. She warns that everyone, particularly those serving at the altar, must be examples because they will eventually give an account to God.4. Kingdom Standards vs. Worldly CompromiseTrue love for God is demonstrated through obedience to His Word. Apostle Conliff outlines the strict parameters of the "kingdom of righteousness":Marriage: God only approves of different-gender, monogamous marriages where "two become one".No Double Standards: Believers must not worship in the sanctuary on Sunday and then dance to worldly calypso music on Monday.Submission to Instruction: Agape love does not fight down corrections regarding what songs or behaviours glorify God.5. Rebuking the "Double Life"The Apostle fiercely rebukes hypocrisy and secret sins. She shares a real-life account of a church usher who fathered a child with an unsaved neighbor while his wife suffered, yet continued to serve. She notes that while her corrections make her unpopular, true love prevents believers from hurting others with their tongues, hands, or thoughts. Believers must consume the Word of God to remain strong, noting that "what you put in, you will get out".6. Unconditional Love and Personal TestimonyAgape love requires no strings attached, enabling believers to be the "bigger person" and ignore suffered wrongs. True excitement must be anchored in God, not material possessions. Apostle Conliff shares her personal testimony of surviving a near-death experience years ago, expressing immense joy that she is still standing, preaching, and serving.Conclusion: Love Never FailsWhile spiritual gifts like tongues and prophecies are temporary tools that will eventually cease, agape love is eternal. Apostle Conliff concludes by urging the congregation to wear the love of the Father as they press toward the mark of their high calling.Rec. Date: 17th July, 2025 -
His Agape Love 09.09.2026 57minIn her Thursday evening Deliverance Service at Lighthouse Empowerment Sanctuary, Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful message centered on 1 Corinthians 13, calling the congregation to a spiritual "checkup" of their hearts. Her sermon outlines the nature of divine love and its role in a believer's walk.1. The Nature of Agape LoveApostle Conliff defines "agape" as the highest form of love; pure, kind, and free of "strings attached". Unlike selfish, transactional love, agape love flows purely from the inside, enabling believers to love even their enemies. God Himself models this love by continuing to love and bless humanity even when they do not serve Him.2. Love as the Prerequisite for Spiritual GiftsThe Apostle highlights that "charity" in scripture does not refer to outward actions like donating groceries, but to the pure love of God. Possessing impressive spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongues or removing mountains, is entirely meaningless without love. Performing deeds or playing instruments for personal show is displeasing to God, rendering the believer a noisy gong or clanging symbol. True service must be provoked solely by love to promote God’s business.3. The Command of Righteousness and HolinessWalking in love requires loving God first with 100% of one's heart, soul, and might. This deep love naturally prompts believers to train their minds to do things God's way, rejecting sin to walk in holiness. Holiness is not optional but a divine command: "be ye holy as I am holy". When believers walk in this alignment, they can trust God as the final authority over their lives and bodies, even defying negative medical diagnoses.4. Love's Restraint Under ProvocationA practical proof of walking in love is the ability to maintain composure under adversity or false accusations. Apostle Conliff teaches that the Holy Spirit provides a "dose of calm" that restrains believers from reacting in the flesh. Under this grace, believers learn to lay down self, take up Christ, and let a song of praise rise from their spirit despite being provoked.5. Respecting God’s Anointing and OrderApostle Conliff shares sobering, real-life accounts to warn the congregation against disrespecting spiritual authority. She recounts tragic instances of church members who publicly spoke against Pastors, only to suffer severe consequences like sudden blindness, sickness, or violent family tragedies. She uses these testimonies to demonstrate that God’s business and the order of His house must be taken with absolute seriousness.6. Biblical Standards for Marriage and FinancesThe Apostle provides practical guidance for relationships and financial stewardship:Courtship and Marriage: Citing scripture, she notes that men must actively search for a wife through prayer, while women pray and wait. Marital love does not insist on its own way, is not touchy, and pays no attention to suffered wrongs.Financial Discipline: Loving God prevents the mismanagement of funds. She encourages practical order, budgeting, and being a good manager of one's own salary.ConclusionUltimately, Apostle Conliff’s message is a call to align with the unchangeable standard of agape love. By choosing to forgive, keeping no record of evil, and seeking to please God above all, believers move into a realm where God's grace is entirely sufficient to pull them out of any valley.Rec.

The Tragedy of Unbelief 08.09.2026 37minApostle Allison Smith Conliff’s deliverance sermon is a profound exposition of Hebrews 4, focusing on the absolute necessity of active faith, genuine character, and the transformative power of God’s Word. Through a blend of biblical exegesis and deeply practical correctives, she challenges believers to move from a superficial form of godliness to a fully surrendered, steadfast life.1. Active Faith vs. the Tragedy of UnbeliefGrounded in the narrative of the Israelites crossing over to possess the land, Apostle Conliff emphasizes that faith is the non-negotiable currency of the Kingdom. Healing, salvation, and victory are entirely unattainable without it. She contrasts the older generation of Israelites, whose unbelief barred them from entering God's rest, with the new generation under Joshua and Caleb who moved in active belief. The Apostle warns that double-minded doubting will ultimately cost believers their salvation and healing. True faith requires complete obedience to God's instructions, whether they involve relocating cities or studying for examinations.2. Eradicating "Sour" and Double-Sided ChristianityA major focus of the message is a rebuke of spiritual inconsistency. Apostle Conliff addresses "lemonish" Christians who attend church with "sour" faces, warning that when a "lemon is squeezed, it could spray in different directions". Believers are called to shine light and remain sweet regardless of their personal hardships or drama. She vehemently rejects "playing church," declaring that believers cannot live "one way in church and another when we go out there". This consistency must extend to public modesty. She explicitly critiques those who wear revealing clothes outside while maintaining a religious facade at the altar, emphasizing that modesty honors God and preserves the church's witness.3. The Spiritual Test of Material DetachmentApostle Conliff shares a personal testimony of how God tested her and Pastor Chris during their early ministry years when they rented a one-bedroom apartment and drove an old Datsun 280C. During this time, they were frequently sent to bless the luxury homes, bedrooms, and high-end vehicles (BMWs, Mercedes) of wealthy individuals. She warns that harboring a jealous spirit prevents God from blessing you. Believers must rejoice in others' success and remain so detached from material things that they are ready to abandon everything, even their ministry buildings, if God calls them to a new assignment.4. Youthful Boldness and Prayer AccessAddressing the children and youth, the Apostle urges them to reject shyness and be bold in the house of God. She notes that children have no problem boldly raising their voices to demand more chicken or mobile tablets, and they should use that same vocal boldness to praise God and testify. This boldness is mirrored in the believer's access to God; through prayer, believers can come boldly before the throne under God’s open-door policy.5. The Penetrating Power of the Living WordThe sermon culminates in an analysis of Hebrews 4:12. Apostle Conliff declares that the Word of God is not dead or static; it is alive, active, operative, and energizing. Operating as a two-edged sword, it penetrates the deepest parts of human nature, exposing, sifting, and judging the hidden thoughts and intents of the heart. For those who surrender to its cutting edge, the Word brings deep conviction, delivering them from sin and transforming their sickness into restored health. -
One-on-One 23.06.2026 49minApostle Allison Smith Conliff’s provides a piercing analysis of Numbers 22, exploring the encounter between Balaam and Balak to warn against greed, spiritual blindness, and the refusal to move in God’s direction.Apostle Conliff emphasizes that a believer’s victory is contingent on their relationship with God, whom she affectionately calls "Daddy". She argues that God will "wait until a spirit of humility hits you" before moving on your behalf. A core tenet of the message is that when you want God to move, you must first move in His direction rather than expecting Him to revolve around your unchanged life.Analyzing Balaam, Apostle Conliff identifies him as a sorcerer whom God used for a specific purpose, to prove that even the heathen cannot curse those whom God has blessed. She highlights that Balaam had the "best opportunity" to showcase God but was blinded by greed for money. She warns the congregation: "When your opportunity come... do not mess with it. For it may never return".A major point is that King Balak was terrified of the Israelites not because of their own strength, but because of the reputation of their God who "licked up" the Amorites and drowned Pharaoh. Apostle Conliff challenges believers: "Your enemies must know who your God is". She asserts that without a visible demonstration of God's faithfulness, a testimony of victory, the enemy will not back off.Building on her consistent themes of moral integrity, Apostle Conliff delivers a stern rebuke to the youth regarding social media and pornography. She calls for a "spiritual reset," urging young people to "push up your eyes" to pass exams and earn degrees rather than wasting hours on digital distractions. She declares that the body is the temple of God, and one must not bring "dirtiness" into it through fornication or "double-mindedness" (e.g., using charms or sorcery while serving Jesus).The Apostle explains that living only on "yesterday's grace" can lead to a downfall. She notes that God often speaks a "fresh word" to give new direction. In Numbers 22, God initially told Balaam not to go, but later told him to rise and go; Apostle Conliff warns that those stuck in "microwave life" (reheating yesterday's word) may miss the current order of heaven.The sermon reaches a climax in the irony of the donkey seeing the Angel of the Lord while the prophet, blinded by anger and "sorcery business," remained deaf and blind to danger. Apostle Conliff warns that "prophets could miss it" under the anointing if they are not sober and diligent. She implores intercessors and worshippers to remain "sober-minded" so they do not resist God’s setup for their blessing.The Apostle concludes by celebrating God as a "covenant-keeping God" who fights for those who are 100% committed. Her final call is for a "surrendered life" that prioritizes worship as a "love life," ensuring that "Satan has nothing on you" when the battles of life arise.Rec. Date: 19th June, 2025 -
The Mandate of Radical Obedience 22.06.2026 44minApostle Allison Smith Conliff analyzes the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 17, exploring themes of divine selection, radical obedience, and the miraculous provision that follows a surrendered life.Apostle Conliff asserts that both Elijah and modern believers are "selected for greatness" based on their willingness to obey God's commands. She emphasizes that God is looking for individuals He can trust to stay committed even in seasons when others refuse to serve Him properly. True spiritual authority requires standing one’s ground before "kings" and false systems, such as King Ahab and the worshippers of Baal, without fear.A major focus of the sermon is a stern warning to those in leadership who attempt to operate on "Satan's payroll" while standing behind the pulpit. Apostle Conliff rebukes a "rape spirit," lust, and unholy habits among ministers, asserting that one cannot lay hands on others while living a filthy life. Citing the deaths of Ananias and Sapphira, she warns that God is not to be played with and will not tolerate those who lie on His name or steal from others. She calls for a "holy and set apart life," specifically urging the youth and the unmarried to find strength in Christ for abstinence rather than being "fast and curious".The Apostle details Elijah’s journey from public confrontation to hidden provision. She notes that God commanded ravens ("koobos") to sustain the prophet with "pure food" twice a day while he hid by the brook Cherith. This illustrates that when believers work with the "unstoppable" champion God, they become "untouchable," and even the most unlikely sources are commanded to sustain them.The analysis centers on the Widow of Zarephath, whom God "setup" to provide for Elijah. Apostle Conliff highlights the severity of the widow's test: being asked to make the prophet a cake "first" when she only had enough meal and oil for one final meal for herself and her son. The Apostle argues that "genuinity" and an anchored faith are required to obey such a seemingly "selfish" request. Because the widow honored the prophet's word and prioritized the man of God, her resources were miraculously multiplied until the famine ended.Apostle Conliff reminds the congregation that adversity is a part of the believer's life, intended not to kill but to provide a testimony for God’s glory. When the widow’s son died, it was a "calamity" that overwhelmed her, but it provided the opportunity for a demonstration of power. Elijah’s prayer for the child's soul to return was answered by a God who "hears the cry of his children," reviving the boy and proving that the Word of the Lord is truth.The sermon concludes with a call to serve God because of love, not for "kudos" or public recognition. Apostle Conliff shares her own personal struggles with tiredness and spiritual warfare, emphasizing that God is a healer and a restorer who lifts a standard when the enemy comes in with force. She implores the church to remain "heart-to-heart" with God so they can receive the revelation and wisdom needed to apply His Word in every aspect of life.Rec. Date: 12th June, 2025 -
The Isolation Trap 20.06.2026 32minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful discourse on spiritual resilience and the necessity of divine perspective. Grounded in Psalm 77, her message explores how to navigate personal "calamity" by shifting one's focus from current distress to the eternal character and past faithfulness of God.Apostle Conliff analyzes the "trouble" of Asaph, a worship leader who found himself in such deep distress that his soul "refused to be comforted" and he suffered from "insomnia" (eyes kept waking). She rebukes the common tendency to blame God for such situations, noting that believers often mistake tests of faith for divine abandonment. Citing Psalm 127:2, she asserts that God "giveth sweet sleep to his beloved," urging the congregation to "rebuke that spirit of not sleeping" and recognize that God is a "good God" despite the presence of a "real devil roaming the earth".A central pillar of the sermon is the concept of memory as a memorial. Apostle Conliff teaches that past faithfulness, honors given in the sanctuary, and prior prayers come before God as a "memorial" during a believer’s hour of weakness or calamity. She encourages the congregation to "recall the deeds of the Lord" and "the years of the right hand of the Most High" to reignite their praise. By meditating on the wonders God performed for their "ancestors", such as the parting of the Red Sea, believers can move beyond emotional drowning to spiritual restoration.Transformation occurs when the believer moves from private lamentation into the sanctuary. Apostle Conliff explains that while Asaph felt overwhelmed in isolation, entering the "house of the Lord" provided the fellowship, "warmth," and "fire" needed to see things differently. In the sanctuary, one gains the prophetic insight to realize that while the enemy may seem to triumph, God has actually set the wicked in "slippery places" leading to their ruin.Building on themes of divine authority from our conversation history, Apostle Conliff emphasizes that while humans become "fragile with time," the "Ancient of Days" is not aging or changing. She declares that God can be trusted "100%" because His nature as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" is to fight for His people. She notes that when the waters at the Red Sea and Jordan "saw" God, they were "afraid," illustrating that heaven is ready to back the words of those who live a committed life.Drawing from Matthew 14, the Apostle warns that focusing on the "boisterous wind" causes a believer to sink, just as Peter did when he took his eyes off Jesus. She defines the Christian walk as a "faith walk" that requires "feeding your faith daily" to prevent it from diminishing. She promises that when a believer cries out, Jesus "immediately" stretches forth His hand to deliver them from their drama and trauma.The sermon concludes with a prophetic prayer for the restoration of everything the "locust has eaten", including health, wealth, and peace of mind. Apostle Conliff issues a specific challenge to the youth to remain "clean" and avoid "foolishness" so they can be "vessels for Almighty God". She implores the church to find their "place of rest" in Yeshua, ensuring they are "grounded and settled" in His unfailing love.Apostle Conliff’s analysis reveals that worship is the antidote to despair. By refusing to let "trouble pull you out of your worship," and instead anchoring the soul in the sanctuary and the Word, the believer remains "unstoppable" regardless of the trials they face.Rec.

Beware of Dogs 19.06.2026 37minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a rigorous mandate for spiritual authenticity, demanding that believers move beyond "ABC Christianity" into a life of supernatural demonstration. Her message centers on the necessity of a "spiritual reset" through total surrender and the rejection of fleshly confidence.A central pillar of the teaching is the warning to "beware of dogs," which Apostle Conliff identifies as individuals possessed by wrong doctrines or evil influences intent on causing compromise. She emphasizes that salvation is not found in legalistic rituals, such as physical circumcision, but in a spiritual circumcision of the heart. Believers are urged to put no confidence in human effort or pedigree; Paul’s own prestigious background is presented as "dung" compared to the value of knowing Christ.Apostle Conliff uses vivid metaphors to address spiritual health, comparing the soul to a plumbing system. Just as a leak must be capped, believers must "cap" wrong influences and trauma until Jesus enters to fix them. She mandates a "flushing" of the system, clearing out sin, bad attitudes, and "unholy alliances" through prayer and the blood of Jesus. This practical integrity extends to:Modesty and Leadership: Leaders must dress to honor God rather than causing others to stumble, as "memories" of immodesty can shift a congregation's focus from the message to the flesh.Economic Stewardship: She rebukes the mismanagement of money and parental neglect of household standards, urging believers to save for emergencies rather than "eating everything" today.The Body as a Temple: Warnings are issued against vanity and wasting youth, noting that the body will "fail you" if used for "nonsense".The Apostle highlights that certain strongholds, including "marine spirits" and "desolation", can only be broken through dedicated prayer and fasting. She challenges the church to be "warriors" who take down the devil’s kingdom rather than "petty" followers who quit the church over minor squabbles. True ministry must be a "demonstration of power" rather than mere words, ensuring the Gospel is "full of the Holy Spirit".Drawing from her personal history, Apostle Conliff recounts "traumatic" pregnancies where she faced kidney damage and medical "time bombs". She uses her survival as evidence that God can conquer every "negative word" or "death sentence". This serves to encourage those in the "bed of affliction," asserting that God remains on the throne even when reports are "horrible".The Apostle emphasizes nurturing leadership, comparing her role to a "devoted mother" who cherishes her children. She also warns of the reality of the demonic realm, citing a sighting of a "witch" figure on the road to urge the congregation to remain "alert". She insists that demons actively target families, finances, and education, requiring believers to stay "in tune" with heaven.Apostle Conliff’s final call is to "keep the covenant" made with Jesus. Whether through academic excellence for students or moral purity for elders, the goal is to live a "supernatural life naturally," ensuring that one's character remains "grounded and settled" regardless of the "affliction" faced.Rec. Date: 29th May, 2025 -
Grounded & Settled 18.06.2026 27minApostle Allison Smith Conliff’s teachings emphasize the conditionality of divine favor, the necessity of spiritual stability, and the requirement for unwavering integrity in both private and public life. Drawing primarily from Colossians and Philippians, she challenges believers to move beyond superficial "ABC Christianity" into a deeply anchored relationship with Christ.A central theme is the conditionality of the Gospel; Apostle Conliff highlights that receiving the "perks and benefits from heaven" is predicated on continuing in the faith. Using Colossians 1:23, she argues that a believer must be "grounded and settled", meaning they are not easily shifted by contrary winds or temporary trials. She warns that "double-minded" individuals who live in Satan’s kingdom while seeking God’s blessings are "unstable" and will receive nothing from the Lord.Apostle Conliff delivers a rigorous critique of the modern "casual" approach to worship, demanding a high standard of reverence for the house of God. She draws a parallel between a courtroom and the sanctuary, noting that while people uphold secular protocols, they often disrespect God by "blowing bubbles," "chewing gum," or wearing "strappy dappy" attire. She insists on modesty, asserting that as representatives of the "King of Kings," believers should shine 100% in their presentation.Apostle Conliff rebukes the habit of downplaying miracles as "small" or "little things," stating that such language embarrasses God. She provides a personal model for financial stewardship, sharing how she invested in land while earning as little as $118 a week by prioritizing tithes and wise decisions. She teaches that God makes money multiply for the surrendered, and believers should master their finances so that "money will follow me; I am not going to follow money".Expanding on Philippians 3, Apostle Conliff warns the congregation to "beware of dogs", individuals possessed by wrong doctrine or evil influences. She argues that true "circumcision" is of the heart and spirit, not physical legalism. Believers must be vigilant against "evil workers" who encourage compromise, such as visiting pubs or embracing the "appearance of evil".The Apostle uses a vivid plumbing metaphor to describe spiritual health:Capping Leaks: Just as a plumber caps a leak, believers must "cap" wrong influences and "trauma" until Jesus can fix them.Flushing the System: If a spiritual system is "clogged" by bad attitudes or sin, it must be flushed using the name and blood of Jesus.Spiritual Constipation: She warns that holding onto "unclean things" affects the mind, body, and finances, requiring radical prayer and the Word to clear.The sermon highlights that "preparation precedes the blessing". Apostle Conliff emphasizes that God uses the "humble and surrendered" to do great things, noting that even the Apostle Paul considered his prestigious pedigree "dung" compared to knowing Christ. She concludes with a call to prophetic alertness, citing a personal encounter with a demonic manifestation as proof that Satan actively targets families and ministries.Conditionality: Benefits of the faith require "continuing" and staying "grounded".Integrity: Total rejection of "double lives" and "unholy alliances".Stewardship: Glorifying God in small financial beginnings and physical temple care.Vigilance: Being "sober" and alert to spiritual warfare and demonic interference.Rec. Date: 22nd May, 2025 -
Legalism vs. Spiritualism 17.06.2026 31minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a "sobering message" centered on Philippians 3, emphasizing spiritual vigilance, the rejection of legalism, and the necessity of a "spiritual reset" through total surrender. Building on themes from our conversation history regarding divine authority, she asserts that believers must move beyond being "ABC Christians" to those who truly know the Word and can withstand the "dogs" of wrong doctrine.Apostle Conliff analyzes Paul’s warning to "beware of dogs," which she defines as individuals possessed by wrong doctrine or evil workers intent on influencing believers to compromise. She critiques the "Judaisers" who insisted on physical circumcision, explaining that under grace, true circumcision is spiritual and of the heart. Salvation, she argues, is not a product of human effort but of a "heart of worship" and confidence in Christ alone.Reflecting on the Apostle Paul’s background as a Pharisee from the tribe of Benjamin, Apostle Conliff explains that while he had every natural reason to boast, he considered his pedigree and education as "dung" (gobbar) for the sake of Christ. She challenges the congregation to stop boasting in their youth or physical health, warning that these "will fail you" if you continue in "nonsense". Instead, true "riches" are found in the heart's relationship with God.In a vivid metaphor, Apostle Conliff compares spiritual life to a plumbing system. Just as a clogged pipe causes overflow, a "clogged" spiritual system, affected by bad attitudes, sin, or wrong influences, leads to failure. She mandates a spiritual "flushing" through:The Name and Blood of Jesus: To clear minds and spirits from uncleanness.Active Prayer and Fasting: Using the "frequency of heaven" to point out and cancel demons.Refusal to Compromise: Rebuking those who frequent "pubs," vape, or engage in "unholy alliances" because someone whispered it was okay.The Apostle provides a rigorous critique of how believers treat their bodies, which are the temple of God. She shares harrowing testimonies of young women losing breasts to cancer and the death of a 13-year-old girl to underscore that life is short and not to be trifled with. She specifically rebukes "vanity" and immodesty, urging the youth to serve Jesus while they are healthy. Regarding her own household, she maintains a strict standard of moral integrity, stating she cannot accept any partner for her children who does not serve Jesus.Drawing from her personal history, Apostle Conliff details her "traumatic" pregnancies where she faced extreme medical risks, including off-the-charts protein levels and kidney damage warnings. She credits her survival to God’s intervention, declaring she refused to die prematurely. This personal victory fuels her passion for the "bed of affliction," asserting that God can conquer every "negative word" or medical "time bomb".The sermon concludes with a chilling account of a demonic manifestation the Apostle and Pastor Chris witnessed at 12:28 AM near Chase Village. She describes seeing a figure in a black hood and "witch hat" that vanished into a man on a bicycle upon closer approach. She uses this to warn the church to be alert, as demons actively interfere with families, finances, and education.Apostle Conliff's final call is for radical focus. She implores the congregation to "cap" the wrong influences in their lives until Jesus fixes them. Whether in academic studies or the "love walk," the goal is to be a "surrendered" vessel that is "unstoppable" because they rely entirely on the Miracle Worker rather than the flesh.Rec.

True Transformation of Character 16.06.2026 1h 28minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a comprehensive discourse on spiritual focus, the transformation of character, and the necessity of gratitude. Framed by the 2025 theme of "Supernatural Encounters with Divine Intervention through the Word," the message challenges believers to move beyond external "religious" masks to a life of deep, internal integrity.Apostle Conliff begins by asserting that a troubled heart hinders spiritual focus, preventing God from receiving glory. She uses a documentary on Nepal, where children joyfully navigate extreme poverty, to rebuke the spirit of ingratitude in the modern church. She warns against envying another person's house or car, noting that one never knows the "price they are paying" or if "the bank owns it all" while they lose sleep at night.A central pillar of the sermon is the character of the Apostle John. Apostle Conliff describes him as originally "reckless," "fierce," and "judgmental", a "Son of Thunder" who once wanted to call down fire on a Samaritan village. His transformation into the "loving apostle" serves as a model for the believer’s journey; as Christ is formed within, a "vicious" temper must be replaced by a character so intact that "Satan has nothing on you".Drawing from John 1:1, Apostle Conliff teaches that "God" is a title for the triune Elohim (Father, Word, and Spirit). She asserts that while many doctrines exist, redemption is found exclusively through Jesus Christ. She urges believers to "feed the spirit" with this Word daily, warning that a weak spirit is often the result of "only feeding your belly".Consistent with her previous teachings on divine authority, Apostle Conliff demands an end to "double standards." She rebukes "Christians" who dress modestly at the altar but wear "tank tops and minis" in public, asserting that God will judge the believer just as He judges the Apostle. Furthermore, she delivers a sobering warning against physical vanity, citing a woman who died in the Dominican Republic seeking a "tummy tuck". She implores the congregation to be "contented" with how God made them rather than pursuing surgery that leads to an early eternity.A major point of the analysis is that unforgiveness is a "weight" that prevents a believer from "soaring". She shares the powerful testimony of the Alexanders, where a wife’s genuine forgiveness allowed for the total restoration of a marriage once broken by adultery. Apostle Conliff emphasizes that the church must be a place of healing and restoration, not a culture of "remarriages" where the first spouse is still alive.The sermon highlights the resurrection power, noting that Jesus breathed the "eternal spirit" into His disciples just as God breathed life into Adam. She concludes by addressing "Doubting Thomas," rebuking those who will not serve God until they "see a definite something". She declares that the greatest blessing is reserved for those who believe without seeing, adhering to the Word's principles even when the physical manifestation is not yet visible.Apostle Conliff’s message is a call to be a "messenger" of the resurrection, much like Mary Magdalene was authorized by Jesus to carry the news to the brethren. She implores the church to "occupy until He comes," prioritizing education and academic excellence while remaining "holy and set apart" in every relationship and conversation.Rec.

Though Contrary Winds Blow 15.06.2026 1h 2minApostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful mandate for the year, centered on the theme of being "steadfast". Drawing from Galatians and Hebrews 12, she provides a spiritual roadmap for believers to remain immovable amidst the "contrary winds" of 2025.Apostle Conliff defines steadfastness as being deep-rooted and anchored in Christ. This spiritual posture is essential to weathering the storms of life, whether they be academic, financial, or health-related. She reminds the congregation that while trials and tribulations are a scriptural certainty, God remains a deliverer for those who live a consecrated and faithful life.A central rebuke in the sermon is against serving God merely to "get things". Apostle Conliff asserts that humans were created for God's pleasure, and true worship must be based on who God is rather than personal needs. She warns that when worship is misplaced or sought for oneself, as seen in the fall of Lucifer, it leads to destruction. Conversely, when a believer delights in the Word and focuses on their assignment, God provides for every need as a surplus.Referencing the "great cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12, Conliff calls for believers to "strip off and throw aside every unnecessary weight". This "cutting" involves several areas:Abandoning Vices: She specifically rebukes alcohol consumption, clubbing, and smoking, arguing that anything not "accelerating" one's walk with God is a hindrance.Eliminating Double Lives: She warns that a "double life" has a price to pay, asserting that one cannot be a saint on Sunday and a "devil" on Monday.Integrity in Leadership: She shares a testimony regarding a junior church teacher, noting that those who represent God's business cannot engage in worldly "clubbing" and expect to lead others by example.The Apostle delivers a stern warning to the youth to remain focused on academics (such as CSEC or Upper Six) rather than "infatuation" or "hormone testing". She highlights the tragedy of missing children in the nation and blames "wrong company". She urges young people to cultivate "dreams of edification" rather than carnal fantasies that interrupt spiritual growth.Apostle Conliff addresses current events, such as reports of a virus in China, to emphasize that "everything travels" - including Satan's tactics. She encourages the church to speak life and truth over their families rather than accepting negative news as final truth. She urges the congregation to be so "tuned in to the frequency of heaven" that hell cannot get a foothold in their language or habits.The analysis concludes with a simple but profound command: "Fix it". Whether it is gambling, "secret sins," or unholy associations, Apostle Conliff implores the church to surrender their all and admit when they are wrong to avoid spiritual suppression. Her message is a call to move beyond the "excitement" of a sermon and into a life of persistent endurance where God is the final authority.Rec. Date: 5th January, 2025
