Who Will You Be At The End? (Don't Get Caught)
Most of us live like we have forever to get it right. We tell ourselves we’ll change tomorrow, pray more next week, or witness when the timing is better. But what if the "intercession" suddenly stops? In this sobering message, Apostle Shane Wall shares a powerful vision of what is happening in the throne room right now, and why God’s "enough" is closer than you think. This message is a mirror for your soul today. Who will you be when the door finally shuts? Watch this message to find out. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: Who Will You Be at the End? 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 22:11-12 KJV *- This is not an invitation to continuing right or wrong. It is a judicial declaration of who you are. *- There comes a point when Christ returns that a person’s character is permanently fixed. *- When there's no more opportunity for repentance, the righteous remain righteous, and the wicked remain wicked. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:11-12 KJV *- quickly: (by surprise) suddenly *- without any delay *- consistently expresses promptness—action that is not merely imminent but urgent and decisive—a verbal marker of divine insistence, underscoring moments when delay would compromise obedience. *- reward: recompense that appropriately compensates a particular decision (action)—good or bad. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Matthew 25:10-13 KJV *- Are you ready to go back with Jesus when He comes? 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Matthew 25:10-13 KJV *- This echoes when Jesus will say to those who were not obedient, “I never acknowledged you as belonging to Me.” 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matthew 25:10-13 KJV *- How do we watch? Are we watching? *- watch: give strict attention to, be cautious, active—to take heed lest, through remissness (carelessness, negligence, and a failure to do your job or duty) and indolence (laziness, idleness, or the avoidance of work and physical or mental exertion), some destructive calamity suddenly overtake one. Lifework Assignment: Ask, “Holy Spirit, help me to seriously and honestly examine my current relationship with God, repair where my side of the relationship is broken, and never fall back into selfishness again. Then, I can and will effectively help others mend and strengthen their relationship with God.” Expected Behavior: 19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. James 5:19-20 KJV *- save: to deliver from the punitive wrath of God at the judgment of the last day *- death: metaphorically, the loss of that life which alone is worthy of the name, i. e. "the misery of soul arising from sin, which begins on earth but lasts and increases after the death of the body.” *- hide: to procure (obtain) pardon of them (sins) from God.

Instead: Love Is The Secret
"If people knew when they would die—even if it's 10 years from now—they would live a completely different life towards God and towards people." In this powerful and timely message from his "Instead" series, Apostle Shane Wall shares a profound revelation directly from the Holy Spirit that challenges the way we view our faith, our time on Earth, and our relationships with others. Through a deep dive into the Greek translation of Matthew 7:21-23, Apostle Shane uncovers a sobering truth: We can use the name of Jesus to prophesy, cast out devils, and perform mighty works, yet still hear the words, "I never knew you." What does it truly mean when Jesus says this? The answer lies in the Greek transliteration: He never acknowledged us as belonging to Him. Why? Because of a lack of love. In this sermon, you will discover: The True Mindset of a Believer: How knowing the urgency of our days changes how we live and prioritize God. The Definition of Agapao: Why biblical love is not a temporary feeling, but a daily decision to prefer God's will and prefer others over ourselves. The Danger of Grudges: How holding on to offense directly distances us from the Father's forgiveness (Matthew 6). The Ultimate Secret: Why great works and powerful ministries mean nothing without a heart that genuinely loves people. Watch, listen, and let the Holy Spirit examine your heart. It’s time to move past a surface-level profession of "Lord, Lord" and step into a life of true obedience, preference, and love. Here are the author's notes from this week's message: Love is the Secret 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21-23 KJV *- Jesus' followers salute Him as the Messiah, whose authority they acknowledge—by its repetition showing their earnestness (sincerity and intense conviction). *- A verbal profession of “Lord, Lord” without obedience is futile (incapable of producing any useful result; pointless). Why would we work for Him and refuse to pursue closeness with Him? 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23 KJV *- The Greek transliteration of His words is, "I never acknowledged you as belonging to Me." *- How can we prophesy, cast out devils, and do many wonderful works, and Jesus still not know us? *- In Scripture, Jesus said to love God, neighbors, enemies, etc.. *- So, are we anything if we can do marvelous and wonderful works with no love? And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:2 KJV By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:35 KJV *- Without loving others, Jesus does not acknowledge us as belonging to Him. *- Love is the secret to Jesus knowing us. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. *- Also, if you don't love, not only does Jesus not know you, but you don't know God. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 1 John 4:8-9 KJV *- What is love—agapao? *- to prefer; for believers, preferring to "live through Christ" instead of through our own wills and ways. *- Also, release every grudge, and don't create and hold any more grudges. *- We can use Christ's name, and it works, and still not have love for Him and others. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Matthew 7:22 KJV *- If you don't love, the same demons you cast out will come out knowing that even though you cast them out, you're on your way to the same Hell they're on their way to. Lifework Assignment: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34 KJV Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Romans 12:10 KJV *- Ask, “Holy Spirit, will You help me to prefer God and others, even my enemies—by only wanting God's will for their lives, instead of my will? Expected Behavior: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34 KJV *- ⚠️If you live in direct disobedience to the King’s commandments, you distance yourself from having any relationship with the King.

Instead: Know Who God Is
In this message, Apostle Shane Wall explores what it truly means to know God—not just to know of Him, but to intimately understand His character, His process, and His timing. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: Know Who God Is *- Every trial and troubling situation that you didn't cause, has always involved a person who caused the problem. *- Even so, we must stop exalting people, as if the effects of what the person said or did is the final result. *- We are now on high alert to believe and know only what God said. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 KJV *- Don't argue—because you don't have to. Don't fear or get the slightest bit upset by opponents' words, because it's not worth it. Instead… *- Condemn the words and the person as guilty, because God backs you with authority to condemn, since the righteous way you live comes from Him—how dare they call God's righteousness evil. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12 KJV *- Instead of doing what you feel like doing to your offender, do to them what you want them to do to you—yes, even after they've done you wrong. *- There is a reason for everything. So, why should we trust God, instead of our own efforts? Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength: Isaiah 26:4 KJV *- God has everlasting strength, and He will use His everlasting strength to help us. In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. Isaiah 54:14 KJV *- When we are established in righteousness—where it becomes our way of life and our desire—we are set far from oppression, fear, and terror. In righteousness, fear has no authority, and terror cannot come near us. If we live in righteousness, any negative thoughts or feelings that attempt to bring oppression, fear, or terror are not reality—they are false—because God has already declared that those established in righteousness will not experience these as their reality. Lifework Assignment: Ask, “Holy Spirit, will You help me to live a righteous life to please, God and everything I think, say, and do?” Expected Behavior: 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV

Be Faithful to God's Flow
What if the breakthrough you've been praying for isn't being delayed... but you're simply trying to make it happen outside of God's flow? In this message, Apostle Shane Wall shares a timely word on healing broken hearts, taking responsibility in our walk with God, and learning to trust God's divine process of asking, seeking, knocking, waiting, and receiving. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: Be Faithful to God's Flow 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: *- Why do we often believe that instead of asking God, it’s better to scramble around to ask for others' opinions and help? *- Instead of waiting on God’s timing, because we don’t like waiting on Him, we’d rather ask someone else to care for our need. *- If we’re honest, we don’t like being faithful to God's flow of asking Him and then waiting on Him. *- Is it a guarantee that people will have the solution to our problem? *- No, but God guarantees that everyone will receive it if we ask Him. 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. *- God is faithful to His flow—making sure we receive if we ask. *- “Well, I asked God, and I didn’t receive what I asked for.” *- We ask for a car. God provides another way for us to get from point A to point B. 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. Proverbs 3:5-7 KJV *- In our eyes, we’re wise when we try to provide for ourselves, instead of acknowledging God. *- We ask for a better relationship with someone. God reveals that we’ve caused problems and what we must do to fix our part—before we even approach the other person about their wrongdoing. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:3-5 KJV *- Instead of expecting God to answer according to how you’ve imagined, ask for God to supply your need. Then, be patient to allow Him to choose how you’ll be supplied. (Philippians 4:19) 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Matthew 7:7-11 KJV *- What I provide will supply the need—fish, turkey, or salad. I won’t provide anything to hurt you. Lifework Assignment: Ask, “Holy Spirit, will You help me only stay in my part of the flow God created for our relationship? Expected Behavior: 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:13-14 KJV

Instead: When Trouble Comes
What do you do when trouble comes? In this message, Apostle Shane Wall reveals a life-changing biblical truth: Stop asking, "Why does God allow trouble?" and start asking, "Why does trouble allow God?" Too often we panic, overthink, or try to solve our problems on our own. But Scripture shows that trouble isn't proof God has abandoned you—it's often the very place where His presence, power, and promises are revealed. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: Instead When Trouble Comes *- Instead of asking, “Why does God allow trouble?” *- Ask, “Why does trouble allow God?” *- Trouble never succeeds where God’s promises are believed and acted upon. *- Trouble only allows God to operate where we allow God to operate by our faith and works. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17 KJV *- It’s not a sign of doubt when the righteous cry out to God for help—from a heart of dependence on Him. *- The cry for God to intervene in our lives resembles that of babies who cannot care for their current needs. Therefore, don’t cry because you don’t want to act. God doesn’t honor the unrighteous when they cry—unless they’re crying out in repentance for salvation. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psalm 50:15 KJV *- Trouble is not just a problem—it’s an invitation. *- God allows trouble and expects us to call on Him, and when we call Him, He delivers us, and we glorify Him! *- If we remove the call, we remove the deliverance. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. Psalm 91:15 KJV *- God does not always remove trouble immediately—He first joins you in it. *- His presence in trouble is proof that trouble does not have authority over you. *- Trouble does not determine your outcome—God’s presence does. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. Psalm 27:5 KJV *- Trouble is not where you are exposed—it is where God hides you. *- While others see pressure, God is positioning you. *- While others see trouble, God sees transition. *- When trouble comes, it doesn’t ask for your permission—it demands your attention. *- But instead of giving trouble your attention, give God your immediate response. *- Instead of panic—pray. *- Instead of fear—believe. *- Instead of reacting—respond in faith. *- Trouble reveals what we truly believe about God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 KJV *- All things work together for good, so don’t fire your workers—because trouble does not work against us—it works for us when we love God and stay aligned with His purpose. *- Trouble only defeats those who disconnect from God in the middle of it. *- Trouble came to choose you—but God already chose you. *- Trouble came to define you—but God already defined you. *- Trouble came to stop you—but God already sent you…and He backs you with His power! Lifework Assignment: Pray, “Holy Spirit, help me to always choose Your guidance instead of reacting to trouble.” Expected Behavior: 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV *- When trouble comes, don’t lean on your understanding—acknowledge God instead, and He will direct you through it because most times, the only way out is through.

Instead: The Choice Is You
What if the delay you've been fighting is actually God preparing you to be His next choice? Most people pray to be chosen. Few prepare for what comes after God chooses them. In this week's message, "Instead: When the Choice Is You," Apostle Shane Wall reveals a powerful biblical pattern: God raises people for specific assignments, specific seasons, and specific purposes. The question isn't whether God has a plan—it's whether you're ready when He says, "The choice is you." To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: Instead When the Choice is You And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah. 2 Kings 14:21 KJV *- One reason God deems people expendable is when their dedication no longer meets His expectation. And now, O Lord my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in. 1 Kings 3:7 KJV *- God did not replace David as king because he was unfaithful, but brought his reign to a close so his son, Solomon, could build the Temple and rule during a time of peace. David’s kingship lasted until his natural death, after which Solomon succeeded him. *- God required a ruler known for peace to establish the Temple and oversee a period of unprecedented national rest and prosperity. *- When God requires you instead of who’s currently in position, be ready. Your season of being God’s public choice is coming! 29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel. 30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred. 31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes. Numbers 10:29-31 KJV *- No matter the offered or supposed benefit, never agree to an offer when God has already planned your assignment elsewhere. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. Genesis 4:25 KJV *- Sometimes God reveals that a birth provides a replacement for a seed that died. *- Be sensitive to the new people, places, and situations that God—not you—brings into your life after a seed has died. Lifework Assignment: Ask, “Holy Spirit, will You help me always be well prepared for every position God places me in?” Expected Behavior: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 2 Timothy 4:2 KJV

How Trouble Produces Power (What In The World? Part 3)
Why does God allow us to go through difficult seasons? What if the very thing you're praying to escape is the thing God is using to build His power in your life? In this week's message, Apostle Shane Wall teaches from 2 Corinthians 12 and reveals how God's strength is perfected in our weakness. Through Paul's "thorn in the flesh," we discover a life-changing truth: God doesn't always remove the trouble—but He always provides the grace to endure it and the power to overcome it. This sermon will challenge you to stop asking only for deliverance and start asking what God is developing in you through the process. When you've done everything God has asked of you and have reached the end of your own ability, that's where His supernatural power begins. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Dive deeper with content with Apostle Shane Wall at www.shanewall.com How Trouble Produces Power 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV *- grace: the favor of Christ, assisting and strengthening His followers and ministers to bear their troubles *- sufficient: to enable you to bear the evil bravely; there is, therefore, no reason why you should ask for its removal. *- strength: inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth *- perfect: add what is yet lacking in order to render a thing full *- God doesn’t do the whole task for us; He only adds to what we can’t provide (not what we won’t provide) to produce the full miracle/blessing. We’re expected to do our part fully before God completes His. Lifework Assignment: If you’re wondering where your blessing/miracle is, ask, “Holy Spirit, will You reveal to me what else God needs me to fulfill before He can complete my blessing/miracle?” *- weakness: want of the strength and capacity requisite; a state of human limitation or inability where God’s strength is made evident. *- Your weakness is not where you’re disqualified—it’s where God proves Himself to be strong where your strength has ended by exertion, not unwillingness or laziness. *- glory: to one's advantage, to the praise of one (on one's behalf) *- Boast in what removes attention from you and reveals God. *- weakness: refers to an ailment that deprives someone of enjoying or accomplishing what they would like to do; focuses on the handicaps that go with the weakness. *- power: inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth *- rest: to dwell in a pitched tent – properly, to pitch (live in) a tent; (figuratively) power radiating from Christ as He comes upon someone, so that He dwells in the committed believer. *- “I boast in God because He protected me through everything I faced. When I choose praise over complaining, the power of Christ rests on my life. If I don't boast in God, I forfeit experiencing Christ's dwelling power on my life.” *- Many of you have gone through much in this world, especially in the last few years. You can now boast in God after all you’ve endured and still endure so that the power of Christ will continue to rest on you. *- Those who don't endure hard trials, but leave to go their own way—hoping to find peace in their departure—won’t experience the power of Christ resting on them. *- Yes, you'll boast about how weak you were to change the situation, and how God intervened and won for you! Then, people will see all the good in your life, giving them obvious reasons to glorify God! Expected Behavior: Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10 KJV

We Are Not The Avengers (What In The World? Part 2)
One of the hardest things God asks us to do is nothing. Not revenge. Not retaliation. Not paying people back for what they did to us. Just obedience. When people lie on you, betray you, talk about you, mistreat you, or try to hurt you, your response reveals who you belong to. This message will challenge the way you handle offense, anger, bitterness, and conflict. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com To learn more about Apostle Shane Wall, visit his website at www.shanewall.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: We are not The Avengers And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. John 17:11 KJV *- What actions are we responsible for taking to ensure that Jesus’ prayer is fulfilled through us while we are in the world? 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. *- recompense: to give back *- evil: to work ill to one; to actively do harm to someone *- honest: consciousness of good deeds 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. *- possible: something that is within your power to do *- We are responsible for our response, our behavior, and our peace posture… *- We are not responsible for their response, their repentance, or their behavior. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. *- avenge: to bring justice out yourself *- For everyday understanding, it also means: to personally act as judge, jury, and enforcer after being wronged. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. *- wrath: settled, controlled anger, righteous indignation, a determined response against sin… *- …that, in God Himself, which stands opposed to man’s disobedience and manifests in punishing *- Wrath is God’s responsibility—obedience is ours. *- vengeance: to carry out justice 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. *- heap coals of fire on his head: conviction/awakening… *- When we respond with good, it creates a burning conviction in them that exposes what they did. *- We don’t overcome people by hurting them—we overcome evil by using goodness to awaken them. *- Our obedience makes their conscience uncomfortable. Kindness produces conviction when someone realizes they were wrong. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:17-21 KJV *- overcome: to conquer, prevail over, gain victory, to subdue *- good: beneficial, profitable, upright/right *- Active goodness is that which is right and beneficial Lifework Assignment: *- Active goodness is not passive—it carries force. *- Minister these and other examples of goodness in action that are beneficial and profitable: feed your enemy, speak truth with kindness, refuse retaliation, help someone who hurt you, and restore instead of rejecting. Expected Behavior: *- Doing good to others (active goodness) is not just being nice, being quiet, or avoiding conflict. It is doing what is right and beneficial in the situation.

What In The World? Part 1: What Happened To Your Peace?
You can love Jesus, and still lose your peace. This message exposes the hidden reason so many believers feel anxious, emotionally drained, offended, numb, angry, and spiritually exhausted. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com To learn more about Apostle Shane Wall, visit his website at www.shanewall.com What in the World...? What Happened to Your Peace? 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? 32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:27-33 KJV *- peace: a settled inner state that comes from being in Christ and hearing His Word, producing stability even in the presence of tribulation. 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:27-33 KJV *- There are things Jesus says—not for us to struggle to believe—but to settle us into peace. *- Being in Jesus alone is not enough—we need to be in Him to hear and obey Him to have peace. *- If we refuse to hear and obey Jesus, we’ll lose peace, even if everything else remains unchanged. *- Jesus is essentially saying, “You can simultaneously experience three different realities depending on where you are—in the world, in Me alone, or in Me while listening and obeying Me.” *- We don’t lose peace because trouble shows up—we lose peace when we step out of and stop listening to Christ and step into and listen to the world. *- What happened to your peace? Check. Are you in Jesus, but not listening to and obeying Him? *- Peace is not something you try to feel—it is something you receive by repositioning yourself in Christ while hearing and obeying Him. *- Lifework Assignment: Ask, “Holy Spirit, please alert me immediately when I listen to the world, including my own worldly thoughts, instead of listening to You.” *- Expected Behavior: We don’t seek less pressure—we remain in Jesus—hearing and obeying His Word, so we can remain in peace.

The Truth About Temptation: How God Views Temptation
You’ve been blaming demons, but the real battle was never outside of you. This sermon will expose why certain temptations keep returning, why some people never break cycles, and why what you secretly feed eventually controls you. Temptation doesn’t create desire. It reveals what’s still alive inside you. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com To learn more about Apostle Shane Wall, visit his website at www.shanewall.com How God Views Temptation *- Two dominant temptations plague the world today: fear and unforgiveness. *- “Prolonged fear causes a sustained release of cortisol and adrenaline, weakening the immune system’s ability to destroy cancer cells, promoting chronic inflammation and accelerating metastasis.” *- "Of all cancer patients, 61 percent have forgiveness issues, and of those, more than half are severe…” Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: James 1:13 *- cannot be tempted: unable to be tempted, lacking the very capacity to be enticed by evil or influenced by sin. but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. James 1:14 *- drawn away: the metaphor is taken from hunting and fishing: as game is lured from its covert, so man by lust is allured from the safety of self-restraint to sin. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3 KJV *- dead: true Christians are said simply to die, as having put off all sensibility to worldly things that draw them away from God—which resembles our Father’s nature—an inability to be tempted. *- Lifework Assignment: Ask, “Holy Spirit, which triggers cause me to resurrect my sensitivity to worldly temptations and draw me away from the hidden safety found in Jesus?” Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. James 1:15 KJV *- sin is not merely an isolated misdeed but a pervasive (spreading) condition affecting heart, mind, body, and society. *- death: the loss of that life which alone is worthy of the name, i.e., "the misery of soul arising from sin, which begins on earth but lasts and increases after the death of the body.” There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV *- Even when we are tempted directly by a demon or through someone else, God will not allow a temptation without also providing a way of escape so that we do not sin. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. *- What are the “all things” that those who are faithfully in Christ will experience? 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 KJV *- Only those who are truly in Christ—proven by producing abundant fruit of righteousness (John 15:5)—can be fully at peace, knowing that everything occurring in their lives is of God—not from God, but of God. 17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:17-19 KJV *- belly: to be given up to the pleasures of the palate, to gluttony *- glory: good opinion concerning one, and as resulting from that comes praise, honor, or glory *- shame: great dishonor or humiliation, which ought to arise from guilt *- Prayer causes you to see God in everything. No situation will arise without you being assured that God knows what to do and, by your faith, that He will do it. Expected Behavior: We… Refuse temptation before it becomes sin. Obey God immediately without inner negotiation. Remain in Christ, where our lives are hidden, and our victory is secured.

The Truth About Temptation: Having Faith vs. Tempting God
Apostle Shane Wall exposes one of the most dangerous spiritual deceptions in the church today—the thin, almost invisible line between having faith in God and testing Him. You’ve been praying. You’ve been quoting scripture. You’ve been asking… waiting… believing… But what if the reason it hasn’t happened yet… is because your “faith” has actually been temptation in disguise? The Truth About Temptation Pt. 1 Having Faith VS Tempting God 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [Psalm 91:11-12] 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Matthew 4:5-7 KJV And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:13 KJV *- evil: is used preeminently of the devil, the evil one *- Just as Satan (the devil) tried to coerce Jesus into tempting God, Jesus knew that the devil and his demons would also try to lead us to do the same. *- Jesus also taught that we should pray to be delivered from the devil. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Matthew 4:11 KJV *- One reason we do not receive the blessings and miracles we ask God for—despite our faith and works—is that our actions, which we believe are proving our faith, may actually be tempting God. *- How, then, can we know when our actions are seen by God as tempting Him rather than demonstrating genuine faith in Him? Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. Deuteronomy 6:16 KJV *- tempting here warns against demanding proof of God’s presence or faithfulness, particularly when challenging Him out of distrust or selfishness. And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not? Exodus 17:7 KJV *- tempted: testing or trying 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Psalm 95:8-9 KJV *- My work: deed, thing done in judgment *- A hardened heart is selfish and distrustful. It wants God to act for its own benefit, forcing Him to prove Himself to justify its faith—rather than desiring His works to bring Him glory, honor, and praise, as one with true faith does. Lifework Assignment: *- Avoid misplaced demands: Refusing to trust God’s Word, and instead demanding a specific sign ("I’ll believe God if He gives me this job.") *- Avoid presumption vs. faith: Unlike acts of faith—testing or tempting God is taking sinful risks or acting carelessly, expecting God to fix the consequences, or else you’ll express your disapproval. Expected Behavior: 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV

What Happened To Your Joy? Part 3: The Lord's Joy
What if the reason your life feels heavy… isn’t because God left you—but because you left your joy? To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com More information about Apostle Shane wall can be found at www.shanewall.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: What Happened to Your Joy? Pt. 3 The Lord’s Joy 7 Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah—the Levites—helped the people to understand the Law, and the people [remained] in their place. 8 So they read from the Book of the Law of God distinctly, faithfully amplifying and giving the sense so that [the people] understood the reading. 9 And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all of them, This day is holy to the Lord your God; mourn not nor weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Law. Nehemiah 8:7-9 *- The joy of godly pastors and ministers is stirred when congregations immediately respond to the Word of God with sincere conviction—remorse, mourning, and, conceivably, weeping, as they become aware that their lives do not align with what God requires. The Lord is close to those who are of a broken heart and saves such as are crushed with sorrow for sin and are humbly and thoroughly penitent. Psalm 34:18 AMPC My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart [broken down with sorrow for sin and humbly and thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise. Psalm 51:17 AMPC *- despise: raise the head loftily and disdainfully. For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV *- Paul distinguishes productive remorse (aligned with God’s will) from destructive, continual grief (dominated by self-pity and despair). *- God does not require prolonged sorrow after being truly sorrowful and repentant over our sins. Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold. Nehemiah 8:10 AMPC *- After God banished them from their home country for persistent rebellion, idolatry, refusal to return to Him, ignoring correction, etc., for decades, they were prone to mourning over past unfaithfulness. Then [Ezra] told them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet drink, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. And be not grieved and depressed, for the joy of the Lord is your strength and stronghold. Nehemiah 8:10 AMPC *- joy: rejoice, gladness *- strength: something turned to for safety or assistance; a place built to withstand attack; the word consistently points to what can be relied upon when danger threatens. *- The joy of the Lord becomes your place of protection, stability, and support. Lifework Assignment: *- Remember: *- The joy of the Lord is your stronghold—a place built to withstand attack. *- Instead of having fear and feeling threatened, have joy and know you’re safe in Jesus! *- Stop wanting to resign because of how bad you feel, and want to have joy because of how good God is! *- Have joy and celebrate! (Nehemiah 8:10) *- Katavian Jennings and The Feast of the Lord Greeters and Parking Lot Teams do this beautifully. They express joy by celebrating their righteous lives and service to God through outings filled with food, laughter, fun, sports, and generosity toward those in need—along with other godly ways of honoring their obedience to Him. Expected Behavior: And all the people went their way to eat, drink, send portions, and make great rejoicing, for they had understood the words that were declared to them. Nehemiah 8:12 AMPC *- Joy occurs when individuals immediately respond to the Word of God through their obedience.

What Happened to Your Joy?
In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Apostle Shane Wall delivers a life-shifting question that cuts straight to the heart: “What happened to your joy?” If you’ve felt disconnected, tired, unmotivated in your walk with God, or like the fire you once had has faded, this word is for YOU. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Learn more about Apostle Shane Wall at www.shanewall.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: What Happened to Your Joy? Pt. 1 2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the Lord. 3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son. Hosea 1:2-3 KJV 1 Then said the Lord to me, Go again, love [the same] woman [Gomer] who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins [used in the sacrificial feasts in idol worship]. 2 So I bought her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley [the price of a slave]. 3 And I said to her, You shall be [betrothed] to me for many days; you shall not play the harlot and you shall not belong to another man. So will I also be to you [until you have proved your loyalty to me and our marital relations may be resumed]. Hosea 3:1-3 AMPC But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 KJV And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the Lord their God, nor seek him for all this. Hosea 7:10 KJV *- Sadly, the Northern Kingdom of Israel did not return to God in time to avoid destruction. So it is today for those who refuse to turn to God, even after being warned—the heavy burden of the minister. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 KJV *- joy (in this verse): to attain blessedness at the right hand of God in heaven—Jesus’ ultimate reward for pleasing His Father. *- What you set before you as your joy determines your faithfulness—and your reward. *- Joy is not an emotion. Joy is a response out of the fruit of the Spirit, love. *- despise: think little or nothing of *- King David composed a psalm of repentance after Prophet Nathan confronted him regarding his adultery with Bathsheba and the arranged murder of her husband, Uriah. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalm 51:9-13 KJV *- After we sin, the joy that accompanies God's salvation of our lives is depleted. *- uphold: sustain (strengthen or sustain; bear the weight of an object without breaking or falling) *- free: willing (heal my spirit so I'll willingly obey You again, without resistance) *- When God restores His joy and a willing spirit in us, we can then teach disobedient ones His ways, and sinners will convert to Jesus. Lifework Assignment: *- Ask the Holy Spirit, “Is the joy set before me to please God, no matter what He commands me to do?” *- Remember, King Jesus and the prophet Hosea were given extremely difficult and potentially embarrassing assignments by God. They fulfilled their missions successfully, and so can you. Expected Behavior: They shall not [literally] return into [another bondage in] the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be their king because they refused to return to Me. Hosea 11:5 AMPC *- We must never allow ourselves to be drawn into another bondage—one that results from refusing to return to God after He has made a way and called us out of previous enslavement.

What Happens When I'm Alone, Part 2
Most people think they’re being wise… cautious… even humble. But what if that’s not wisdom at all? What if it’s fear… hiding in plain sight? In this powerful, eye-opening message, Apostle Shane Wall dismantles the lies we’ve believed about God, love, and fear. What Happens When I'm Alone Pt. 2 *- Fear is a spirit who often tempts us when we're alone. *- One of, if not the sneakiest and most disguised demons of them all, is fear. *- Fear can disguise itself as self-protection, humility, opinions, wisdom, fatigue, caution, understanding, etc. 10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see [in us] that [justified] you in doing such a thing as this? 11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no reverence or fear of God at all in this place, and they will slay me because of my wife. Genesis 20:10-11 AMPC *- Abraham formed an opinion and came to a conclusion that these people did not know or honor God. It is not clear whether he or a demon introduced that thought to him. *- Either way, the opinion developed into fear, which caused him to fear for his life. *- Whether we’re alone or not, let’s never allow ourselves to fall into a fear trap because of an opinion. 10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt. 11 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt? *- At first glance, Moses’ words may seem to come from humility, but they were rooted in fear. 12 God said, I will surely be with you; and this shall be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain [Horeb, or Sinai]. Exodus 3:10-12 KJV *- Never allow a false sense of humility to cover the fear you know you’re experiencing. 3 Then he was afraid and arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba of Judah [over eighty miles, and out of Jezebel’s realm] and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a lone broom or juniper tree and asked that he might die. He said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am no better than my fathers. 1 Kings 19:3-4 AMPC *- Elijah wanted to quit, not because his trials were “enough” (exhaustion), but because he was afraid. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Psalm 56:3 KJV *- It is inevitable that we will find ourselves afraid, but being afraid does not mean we cannot trust—it means we must trust God. We can be tired and afraid and still trust God. Lifework Assignment: *- Ask the Holy Spirit to consistently reveal to you when fear is disguising itself as something else that you are trusting in and acting upon. Expected Behavior: What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. Psalm 56:3 KJV *- Let moments of fear become a trigger to trust God, not doubt Him or attempt to solve the situation on your own.

What Happens When I'm Alone
What happens when you’re alone… and nobody is watching your thoughts? Most people think their biggest battles happen in public. But according to the Word of God, the real battle happens in your mind when you're by yourself. In this message, you’ll discover why the Holy Spirit is deeply concerned about what believers are thinking when they’re alone — and how those hidden thoughts can shape your entire spiritual life. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com To learn more about Apostle Shane Wall, visit www.shanewall.com Here are the author's notes from this week's message: What Happens When I'm Alone *- “What in the world am I going to think about?” Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 (KJV) *- Only think about the things that God approves. *- We must use this verse of Scripture to interview or filter all thoughts that come to us before we hire them as thoughts in our minds. *- We must interview each thought and pass the interview requirements before being hired, because each thought must have all eight qualities: being true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, virtuous, and praiseworthy. *- Using Philippians 4:8, make a list of things to think about so that you can discipline yourself according to the Word of God. Examples of Bible-Approved Thoughts: As a pastor of The Feast of the Lord in good ol’ Orangeburg, SC, here’s my list: True: God loves me unconditionally and forgives me when I repent for my wrongdoing. Honest: I love teaching people and seeing them grow by the Word of God. Just: I’m not going to break my fast simply because I’ve been offered my favorite food. Pure: God wholeheartedly wants only the best for my life. Lovely: My son smiles at me when I enter the room. Good Report: God gives us awesome revelations from His Word that empower me and others. Virtue: The teachers are exceptionally faithful in preparing for and conducting our Children’s Ministry. Praise: Our church members are successfully exercising their supernatural gifts unto God’s glory. 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6 KJV *- When we learn the moving of the Holy Spirit in prayer—by patiently allowing Him to lead the prayer as He wills, including the length of time, the content, the time of day, and everything else He wants us to do in prayer—never let anybody, not even yourself, take you away from the path the Holy Spirit has set you on during those prayer times. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8 KJV *- meditate: soliloquize [(an utterance or discourse spoken to oneself, without regard for whether any other hearers are present (often used as a device in drama to disclose a character's innermost thoughts)]; meditate, muse. My soul yearns for You [O Lord] in the night, yes, my spirit within me seeks You earnestly; for [only] when Your judgments are in the earth will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God). Isaiah 26:9 AMPC *- Our human souls crave God, and our human spirits are what we use to seek God. *- judgment: execution of a decision *- God’s judgments cause people to learn His standard for righteousness, and we can obtain His judgments through prayer. Lifework Assignment: *- Create your Bible-Approved Thoughts List. Visit it daily, and update it at least weekly. Expected Behavior: Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3 KJV

Overruled! The Aftermath
“When God says Overruled, your past loses the right to speak.” Apostle Shane Wall reveals a truth many believers desperately need to hear: God is not waiting on you. You’re waiting on Him. So many Christians assume unanswered prayers mean they’ve done something wrong. But sometimes God is simply moving things into place behind the scenes before releasing the blessing you asked for. If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your past, misunderstood by people, or discouraged while waiting on God, this message will change how you see yourself and your calling. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are Apostle Shane Wall's notes from this week's message: Overruled! The Aftermath *- We have an enemy who tries to steal, kill, and destroy. But more importantly, we have a God who loves to redeem, revive, and restore. *- Has someone hurt you, or hurt someone you love? Instead of planning your revenge, pray for God to transform their heart. -YouVersion Bible App Verse of the Day (3/2/26) *- satan and his accusers say, “How can you sing, preach, greet, etc. after what you've done?” *- God sees His forgiven ones and says, “Look at how My children have humbled themselves in public, before the people, to sing, preach, greet, etc. on My behalf.” *- God never says, “...after what you've done…”, because to God, there's no sin to reference because once He forgives a sin, it no longer exists. God casts our forgiven sins behind His back, (Isaiah 38:17) meaning, God has completely forgiven, forgotten, and removed forgiven sins from His sight. *- Now, what do the forgiven ones do next? [The Servant of God says] The Lord God has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught]. Isaiah 50:4 AMPC - After God overrules what people spoke against us, He turns us outward again—toward those who are weary. Just as He awakened Jesus’ ear each morning to teach Him, He awakens ours so that we can speak life-giving words in season. Now that God overruled the accusations, we are free to carry His words to others. We won’t focus on naysayers because now, we must help the weary. The Lord God has opened My ear, and I have not been rebellious or turned backward. Isaiah 50:5 AMPC - When God clears our name, He expects our ear to remain open. We must refuse rebellion and never turn back. When God overrules the accusations, we move forward into obedience—not hiding, not hesitating, but hearing His Holy Spirit. Instead of being rebellious and turning back, we do the opposite by serving boldly. I gave My back to the smiters and My cheeks to those who plucked off the hair; I hid not My face from shame and spitting. Isaiah 50:6 AMPC - Jesus endured shame without retreat—and now that God overruled our shame, we no longer hide from our individual and collective assignment. We don’t shrink from people’s opinions; we step confidently into God’s work, knowing the shame they tried to place on us no longer belongs to us. For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. Isaiah 50:7 AMPC - After God overturns every judgment, He equips us with flint-faced focus. We work for Him without fear of future shame because God personally guarantees His help. Once God has overruled the accusations, shame loses all authority to speak. He is near Who declares Me in the right. Who will contend with Me? Let us stand forth together! Who is My adversary? Let him come near to Me. Isaiah 50:8 AMPC - When God Himself declares us in the right, who can contend with us? He stands so close that our enemies must confront Him before they confront us. After God overrules the accusations, we no longer live defensive lives—we stand, we work, and we answer His call without intimidation or interruption. Behold, the Lord God will help Me; who is he who will condemn Me? Behold, they all will wax old and be worn out as a garment; the moth will eat them up. Isaiah 50:9 AMPC - God’s help removes all power from human condemnation. Those who attempt to revive old charges against the forgiven will fade, fail, and fall apart. Their accusations will decay; your assignment and success will not. Once God overrules, the influence of their words dies instantly, while your calling continues to live and thrive. Lifework Assignment: - Now that God has overruled the accusations, reflect on what He has assigned you to do next. Ask Him: “Whose weariness are You sending me to speak to? Whose life needs the Word You taught my ear this morning?” Meditate on what the Holy Spirit says and prepare yourself to share the encouragement God preserved you to deliver. - If anyone comes to you about your forgiven past, or anyone else’s, remind them that God’s forgiveness annihilated the sin, and that now, since it no longer exists, there’s nothing to talk about. Expected Behavior: - Set your face like flint (with unwavering determination to complete a purpose) and move forward in your calling. We don’t rehearse accusations God has already dismissed. Refuse shame, refuse hesitation, and refuse intimidation. Trust the Lord’s help, walk in your God-restored dignity, and speak the Word He has taught your ear. God has commissioned you to go and work boldly for Him.

Overruled!
Somebody tried to bury your future with your past. But Heaven already said one word: OVERRULED. This message will confront every lie that says you’re disqualified. To learn more about The Feast of the Lord, visit us online at www.orangeburgchurch.com Here are Apostle Shane Wall's notes for this week's message: *- After God judged Israel for their wrongdoing, His compassion restored them. His love annulled His anger, and His mercy repealed their failure. And when He restored them, He made this covenant promise: But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from Me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 AMPC *- God allows weapons to form, but He allows none of them to prosper—because you prosper. *- Every tongue that evaluates the forgiven—God responds by saying that their argument is… Overruled! *- overrule: to rule against or disallow the arguments of (a person); to rule or decide against (a plea, argument, etc.); reject. *- People may still rehearse what God has already dismissed. People may still whisper about what God has wiped away. People may still judge what God has justified. But Heaven’s verdict is final. Their opinions are overruled. *- When Joseph’s brothers judged him and planned evil against him, God overruled their intentions. As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day. Genesis 50:20 AMPC *- People, even Christians, tend to believe their opinions over God’s Word, but God always promotes the forgiven over the ones who spoke against them. Why? Because the forgiven have work to do that the bitterness in others will never qualify them to handle. 5 And going into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting [there] on the right [side], clothed in a [[a]long, stately, sweeping] robe of white, and they were utterly amazed and struck with terror. 6 And he said to them, Do not be amazed and terrified; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. 7 But be going; tell the disciples and Peter, He goes before you into Galilee; you will see Him there, [just] as He told you. Mark 16:5-7 AMPC *- Why specify “and Peter, ” when virtually all of them abandoned Jesus? Because Peter was now perceived as the least qualified: He failed publicly. He denied Jesus. He ran in shame. But Jesus overruled the embarrassment, the judgment, the whispers, the suspicion, and the guilt. *- What did the angel essentially say by including Peter in the grand call to meet Jesus? *- Jesus was saying to Peter then (and now to us): “I still want you. I still choose you.” I still call you. I’ll still use you.” 14 Afterward He appeared to the Eleven [apostles themselves] as they reclined at table; and He reproved and reproached them for their unbelief (their lack of faith) and their hardness of heart, because they had refused to believe those who had seen Him and looked at Him attentively after He had risen [from death]. 15 And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature [of the whole human race]. Mark 16:14-15 AMPC *- After we have sinned against Jesus, when we repent and answer the call to come back to Him, He will assign us to do what we were always called to do. *- Forgiven people aren’t disqualified—they’re restored and recommissioned. Three days after Peter’s public sin and repentance, Jesus told him to preach. 30 And those whom He thus foreordained, He also called; and those whom He called, He also justified (acquitted, made righteous, putting them into right standing with Himself). And those whom He justified, He also glorified [raising them to a heavenly dignity and condition or state of being]. 31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?] Romans 8:30-31 AMPC *- Don’t concern yourself with how people judge the forgiven. Their judgments have already been overruled by God, for the moment He forgives us, He also justifies, restores, reassigns, and recommissions us. What people say after that holds no power in God’s heavenly court. Lifework Assignment: 1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God). 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Psalm 37:1-2 AMPC *- Remember what God said about what people say: His verdict overrules theirs. His justification overrules their suspicion. His mercy overrules their memory. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Revelation 12:10 KJV *- Don’t fear accusers of the forgiven. They are employed by satan, who’ll be cast down for good. Expected Behavior: Trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) in the Lord and do good; so shall you dwell in the land and feed surely on His faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed. Psalm 37:3 AMPC *- We don’t respond to people’s criticism and judgment, or else we’ll become irritated and withdraw. We only respond to Jesus’ call by returning to Him, because He has truly forgiven us.

They Had Doctrine… But Jesus Said “I Don’t Know You” | The Ephesus Warning
What if you’re doing EVERYTHING right… but your heart is nowhere near God? In this sobering message from Book of Revelation Chapter 2, Jesus confronts the church of Ephesus — a church with sound doctrine, spiritual discernment, and endurance. And yet… “I have this one thing against you: You have left your first love.” This sermon exposes the silent drift that happens in believers: • When discipline replaces intimacy • When ministry replaces relationship • When busyness blocks the flow of God The vision of giants stopping a waterfall reveals a powerful truth: God’s outpouring doesn’t stop because He changed… It stops because we moved. If you’ve felt distant… If prayer feels mechanical… If your fire isn’t what it used to be… This message is your wake-up call. Jesus isn’t asking for better performance. He’s asking for your heart back. “Remove the blockage.” “Remember where you fell.” “Repent.” “Do the works you did at first.” This is not condemnation. It’s mercy before it’s too late. Watch until the end and pray the prayer with us. If this hit you, comment: “FIRST LOVE.” Because revival doesn’t start in churches. It starts in hearts.
