Part 3 reveals that spiritual bondage is real, and so is God’s power to set people free. Throughout Scripture, Jesus doesn’t just comfort the oppressed — He delivers them. Many struggles have a spiritual dimension that human effort alone cannot fix, and true freedom comes through the authority of Christ.The message also shows that faith is often mocked, especially in moments of weakness, yet it is in those moments that people reach for God and encounter His power. Deliverance is not symbolic or emotional — it is the real, active work of Jesus bringing freedom, healing, and restoration.Welcome to Houston International Revival Church (H.I.R.C.)!We are a Spirit-led, Kingdom-driven church equipping believers to walk in truth, power, and the authority of Jesus Christ to impact every sphere of life. 

Part 2: Re-Introducing the Spiritual RealityWe live in a generation that has not abandoned spirituality, but has lost touch with biblical spiritual reality. Modern thinking has reduced life to what can be explained by science, psychology, and systems, leaving little room for the unseen realm that Scripture says governs the visible world. Yet the Bible presents a very different picture—one where God’s thoughts and ways operate on a higher dimension, and where His Spirit actively intervenes in human history.Part 2 challenges the idea that faith is merely symbolic or emotional. It exposes how the erosion of biblical authority and the neglect of the Holy Spirit have left a vacuum—one that is now being filled by counterfeit spirituality and powerless religion. The sermon confronts the modern church’s tendency to prioritize structure, intellect, and self-sufficiency over presence, power, and dependence on God.If the church is to influence the world again, it must first remember the world it cannot see.

There is a Power Part 1Re-Introducing the Spiritual RealityIn this thought-provoking and revelatory sermon, we explore the profound differences between the will, thoughts, and heart of God compared to those of humanity. Scripture declares that God’s ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts—and yet He invites us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we may discern His will on the earth.This message reveals the immense power of thoughts and how they shape every layer of life. What begins in the mind influences the heart, directs decisions, and ultimately impacts families, communities, nations, and even the course of human history. When human thinking is driven by fear, pride, or limitation, it produces division and destruction. But when our thoughts are aligned with the heart of God, they release life, wisdom, and purpose.
