DRAIN IT!

This powerful sermon addresses the invisible, parasitic forces—both spiritual and mental—that drain believers of the abundant life Jesus promised. Using the metaphor of microscopic parasites (like malaria transmitted by mosquitoes) versus obvious threats (like lions), the pastor illustrates how believers often focus on external, visible battles while ignoring the internal, subtle enemies that slowly drain their spiritual vitality. The message calls for believers to allow God to search them deeply, drain out bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, and trauma, and reconnect with the flow of living water that should spring from within. The sermon also includes a bold prophetic statement on voting rights and justice, emphasizing that faith must inform our response to systemic injustice. Ultimately, this is a call to shake off everything that has been feeding on God's people and to step into the abundant life Christ promised.
