In this teaching, Pastor Brandon examines what it means to “sell yourself to do evil” (1 Kings 21) and the serious implications of this contractual, covenantal language. From Ahab and Jezebel’s idolatry to modern-day occult practices, he shows how selling oneself to sin is a transactional surrender to demonic authority—but also how God provides a way back through repentance and restoration.

You’ll also hear insights into: ✅ How Jezebel introduced false gods into Israel ✅ Why Ahab’s weakness allowed the Jezebel spirit to thrive ✅ The biblical truth behind “selling your soul” and demonic covenants ✅ Why no covenant with the occult is permanent—freedom is always possible through Christ ✅ The Hebraism of God “removing His face” and the danger of being out of fellowship ✅ The seriousness of sin, repentance, and walking in covenant blessing ✅ The true meaning of being strong in the Lord—not fleshly strength, but strength in His promises

The call is clear: Don’t be deceived by false power or worldly gain. The enemy may offer fame, wealth, or seduction, but it always comes at a price of destruction. True blessing is found in fellowship with God and in ministering to others through the strength He provides.

Stay encouraged and remember—our Redemption draws near! ✝️

In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon unpacks key Hebraisms and idiomatic expressions from Scripture, showing how they reveal God's ownership, authority, and eternal covenant with His people.

From the priestly blessing in Numbers to the prophetic visions in Revelation, Pastor Brandon explains why God placing His name on His people and His land is central to understanding Israel, the Church, and the spiritual battle we face today.

This teaching dives deep into: - God’s name as a mark of ownership and authority - Why Israel and Jerusalem remain central to God’s plan - The biblical roots of anti-Semitism - The dangers of moral relativism in Judges and its connection to modern culture - David as “a man after God’s own heart” and what that really means - The consequences of private sin becoming public fallout - The true meaning of the “still small voice” as the voice of the remnant

📖 Grab your Bible and be encouraged as you learn how God’s ownership, authority, and covenant promises apply to His people today.
