A Kingdom Divided | Alberto Bello

When Jesus prayed before going to the cross, He didn’t pray for fame, influence, or protection—He prayed for unity. In this stirring message, Pastor Alberto Bello calls the Church back to the heart of that prayer: “Father, make them one.”

Preaching from John 17, Alberto delivers a bold and deeply personal word on the power of oneness in the Body of Christ. With grace and conviction, he confronts the insecurity, jealousy, and division that too often go unchecked in our hearts and churches. He reminds us that revival doesn’t start in the pew—it starts in the heart. And it is our unity, not our programs or polish, that points the world to Jesus.

“When the Church gets in alignment, it releases the anointing for the assignment.”

“You preach about David, but you can’t stand the David pastoring down the street. God gave him that grace—who are we to question it?”

“Revival doesn’t begin in the pew—it begins in the heart. You don’t need to advertise a fire. Let it burn, and people will come.”

This message is a wake-up call for pastors, leaders, and anyone longing to see a move of God in our cities, churches, and nation. It's not just about getting along—it's about being aligned with heaven so the oil can flow.

May this message stir your soul, challenge your pride, and compel you to lay down offense and walk in love.

I Want to Move This Mountain | Gary Wilkerson

In this powerful and deeply personal message, Pastor Gary Wilkerson steps out of his comfort zone to deliver a prophetic word of warning, challenge, and hope. Speaking from Matthew 21, Gary confronts the outward appearance of fruitfulness in today’s church—leaves without life—and calls leaders, pastors, and believers to tear down the religious systems that hinder the true power and presence of God.

This isn’t about shame or condemnation. It’s an invitation. A call to return to purity, power, and fruit that glorifies Jesus. It’s a cry for the church in America to trade the leaves of performance for the real fruit of righteousness.

"This thing will wither—all the smoke and mirrors, all the external things… but God will raise up a tree that bears great fruit."

If you’re tired of the show, if you long to see the mountain of fruitlessness removed—this message is for you. Gary doesn’t preach from a platform of perfection but from a posture of humility, praying along with us:

“Jesus, purify me. Take out anger, take out lust, take out selfish ambition. Take out anything that’s keeping this tree from bearing fruit.”

“He’s not going to bless the leaves anymore—He’s after the fruit.”

God is not finished with His Church. He’s doing a new thing. But it begins in us. Will you pray with us and ask Him to move the mountain?

Bringing Yourself and Others Back to Spiritual Strength | Carter Conlon

In this deeply convicting message from Fire in Our Bones, Pastor Carter Conlon calls the Church to return to the power, unity, and supernatural testimony that marked its beginning. With humility and urgency, he reminds us, “We’re not going out with a whimper—we’re going out with the presence of God, the power of God, as a testimony in this generation that must be reckoned with.” Drawing from 1 Corinthians 11, Pastor Carter speaks to a divided and distracted Church, urging us to become a people who forgive, unify, and proclaim Christ with integrity.

Through personal stories of betrayal and restoration, he paints a picture of what true communion looks like—not just in sharing bread and wine, but in living lives of surrendered love and unity. “On the night He was betrayed, He took bread.” That one line becomes the heartbeat of the message. Jesus didn’t withhold Himself in pain—He gave Himself all the more. Pastor Carter challenges us to do the same: “You may wound me, but I will not wound you. You may speak ill of me, but I will not speak ill of you. You are my brother. You are my sister in Christ.”

This is a word for a fractured generation. A call to forgive, to reconcile, and to stand side by side with every blood-bought believer—regardless of denomination, background, or past hurt. “Division is a peacetime extravagance. We are not at peace anymore—we’re fighting for a generation, for a culture, for our children.” If you're ready to let go of offense and step into a supernatural testimony, this message is for you.

Living Life at the Speed of Prayer | Ron Brown

In this opening message from Fire in Our Bones, Pastor Ron Brown brings a timely and deeply personal word about the necessity of prayer in every season of life. Speaking from 1 Thessalonians 5, he reminds us that God sees us—even when we feel invisible—and that He has not changed His mind about the purpose He placed on our lives. This message isn’t about strategies or steps; it’s about staying anchored in the presence of Jesus when the winds of adversity blow.

Pastor Ron reflects on the quiet strength of his father, a man who lived “at the speed of prayer” through hardship and uncertainty. “Prayer is not about becoming a spiritual giant—it’s about staying sane, staying steady, and staying on the journey,” he says. He goes on to challenge us with this truth: “When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, there’s a compass that holds us in place.” If you’ve been wrestling with timing, direction, or hope, this message will stir your soul to keep trusting.

God is still working miracles, and He hasn’t forgotten you. “The one who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.” You may be waiting, praying, wondering when the breakthrough will come—but you are not alone. In Pastor Ron’s words, “Live life at the speed of prayer.” Let this message renew your strength and call you back to the place of patient, powerful fellowship with Jesus.
