When You Allow Your Oil to Be Drained

Every leader carries oil.
Oil is your anointing.
Oil is your strength.
Oil is your wisdom.
Oil is your time.
Oil is your emotional capacity.
Oil is your finances.
Oil is your spiritual covering.

And oil is costly.

In this powerful and transparent episode, Pastor Carlos speaks to the silent struggle of leaders who have poured until they were empty. The ones who carried others through crisis while bleeding in private. The ones who confused love with obligation and sacrifice with self destruction.

This episode exposes the difference between pouring and being drained.
Between discipleship and dependency.
Between covering and carrying.

You will learn how to recognize when your oil is leaking.
How to set godly boundaries without losing compassion.
How to protect your assignment without hardening your heart.

This is a word for pastors, mentors, parents, caregivers, and servants who are tired of burning out while trying to save everyone else.

If you have ever felt exhausted from giving too much to the wrong places, this episode is for you.

Your oil matters.
Your calling matters.
Your peace matters.

And God never called you to be empty.

Sometimes the hardest part of healing isn’t the pain, it’s the transition. It’s grieving the version of you that endured so much. In this teaching, I share why God invites us to mourn the old self, honor its journey, and embrace the new creation rising within us.

In this episode of Selah Sessions, Pastor Carlos opens a conversation many believers know well. The waiting room of God. That place between promise and fulfillment where faith is tested, patience is stretched, and character is shaped.

Join this sacred pause as we explore why God allows seasons of waiting, how He works behind the scenes, and what He forms in us when life feels still. Through biblical truth, prophetic insight, and honest reflection, you will learn to see waiting not as delay but as divine preparation.

If you feel stuck, overlooked, or unsure of what God is doing, this message will breathe strength into your spirit. God has not forgotten you. He is shaping you.

Selah. Pause. Listen. Lean in.

In this episode of Selah Sessions, we dive deep into the sacred, quiet spaces where true restoration begins. God’s healing isn’t always public—it often happens in the hidden, secret place, away from the noise and eyes of the world.

Join me as we explore:

• How God uses seasons of solitude to repair and renew your heart

• The difference between being restored and simply getting back what you lost

• The power of dwelling under the shadow of the Almighty

• Why your hidden season is not a delay, but a divine preparation

Whether you’re facing brokenness, weariness, or just a longing for intimacy with God, this session is a reminder that He is quietly at work in you—mending, shaping, and restoring every piece of your soul.

Take a deep breath, step into the secret place, and let God restore you… completely.

Sometimes the people who know us best are the hardest to convince of our calling. In this episode of The Last Sessions with Pastor Carlos, we dive into why a prophet is not recognized in his own home—and what that means for anyone walking in their God-given purpose. Drawing from scripture, real-life examples, and practical encouragement, Pastor Carlos explores how to stand firm when familiar faces doubt your destiny, how to lean on God’s affirmation instead of human approval, and why rejection from those closest to you can actually strengthen your walk in faith. Tune in for insight, inspiration, and a reminder that your calling is bigger than your circle.

In this Selah Session, Pastor Carlos dives into the power of godly friendships through the lens of Proverbs 27:17: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” True friends don’t just comfort us—they challenge us, refine us, and push us closer to the call of God on our lives.

Join this heartfelt reflection on how sharpening happens in conversation, in prayer, and in the Word. Discover the difference between criticism and godly correction and learn how to embrace the friends who strengthen you—and become that kind of friend to others.

This is more than an encouragement; it’s a call to grow deeper, sharper, and stronger together.

Selah.

Waiting is one of the hardest lessons in life — and one of the greatest gifts God gives us. In this Selah Session, Pastor Carlos reflects on what it truly means to wait on the Lord. Through scripture, encouragement, and prayer, you’ll be reminded that waiting is not wasted time… it’s holy time.

Discover how waiting renews your strength, deepens your faith, and draws you closer to God’s heart. If you’ve been asking, “Lord, how much longer?” — this episode is for you.

Take a moment.

The anointing doesn’t begin on the platform—it begins in the secret place. In this episode of Selah Sessions with Pastor Carlos, we explore what it means to prepare for the anointing through consecration, cultivating God’s presence, and carrying His oil into the world.

Drawing from the life of David, the words of Jesus in Matthew 6, and the power promised in Acts 1:8, this episode is an invitation to linger with the Father in the hidden place where the oil is pressed and the Spirit is poured.

If you’ve been hungry for more of God’s presence and power, this message will help you prepare your heart for the oil that only comes in secret.
