Winning the Church to Christ through unceasing prayer, intentional discipleship, and missional living.
We continue on the Kingdom of God, focusing on the laws of the Kingdom, and how it operates. Pastor Niral teaches on the reality of the jurisdiction of the Kingdom, and how it can impact our lives, every day.
Pst. Niral and Eld. Ose Burnett come together to talk candidly about the election, voting, and the place the church holds in American politics and issues of our day. The two of them dive into controversial issues and the biblical stand we must take concerning them all. This election is not about Trump or Harris. It's about you, the church. Who will you be, regardless of which candidate comes into office?…
In this episode, Pastor Niral and Elder Ose discuss the Kingdom of God, the laws of the Kingdom, and some practical strategies of operating in Kingdom authority in every area of life. This message is a "must listen" for anyone who is struggling in their faith and needs to see the resources of the Kingdom of God in full operation.…
The entire Bible points to this one thing: The Kingdom. Therefore, it is vital that the church. understands more about this urgent reality. In fact, the agenda of the adversary is to blind the world from the Kingdom, and the laws of the Kingdom. The church, however, operates under a different jurisdiction, and the benefits, and laws of the Kingdom apply to us, today. This beginning of the Kingdom series is a group of lessons taught to Pastor Niral while he was away on Prayer Mountain. You don't want to miss this.…
We can no longer ignore the signs. Evidence of the great falling away, and the beginning of sorrows are everywhere. The increase in every issue mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24 are upon us, which only leads to one thing -- the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are some (even Christians) who act as though this will ever happen, but the Bible is clear. Our Lord will return in power and glory. And, while we don't know the exact time, we all should watch or the signs. Wake up, Church! Jesus is coming.…
End time events tend to evade most believers, and often, the teachings on the subject bring fear. In this series, Pastor Niral teaches on the 70 Weeks prophecy of Daniel 9, and what this means in history as well as in our future. Still, keep in mind that the teachings on the Eschaton (the End) are not meant to bring fear, but rather, hope! There is a posture and function of the church in the light of events around the world which point to the end of the age. No matter what is happening in our world, we have a job to do, and as the Church, it shall be accomplished!…
Based on her testimony which she shared at church, Krystal Thomas gives a follow-up teaching on things that will keep you stuck in your past bondage. She shares the ways in which you can come out, and addresses questions you must avoid in order to truly be free. If you are looking for freedom from their past, this message is important!…
Listen...we can say all we want about what we believe, but true faith is not just an internal belief. It involves action. You cannot claim the WORD of faith without the WORK of faith. In this message, Pastor Niral shares from the story of the great warrior, Abraham (Yes, Abraham), and how he believed God through his actions, and came into his promise. You'll be blessed by this message.…
There is a greater blessing — a blessing that gets you on fire and in alignment with the mission of Jesus, with power. That blessing is the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Charles Finney needed it. EM Bounds needed it. John Wesley and William Seymour needed it. This is something that Jesus didn’t want His disciples to miss, if they were to fulfill His mission. They needed it because they needed power behind the message. Why would He expect any less today? We cannot fulfill the mission of Christ without the power of Christ. Therefore, we need the realities of the Holy Spirit today, just as they did back then. Yes, the healings, the miracles, the prophecies, the gift of faith and yes…the speaking in tongues are for us today. This message on the Spirit’s baptism will prayerfully draw you to pray for something deeper — something that will change…everything.…
Elder Ose, Tanisha Grey, and Murielle Joseph speak on the fear of the Lord, and how it relates to our consecration. This is a featured message during our consecration as we trust God for a fresh baptism in the Holy Spirit.
In part 5 of Winning the Church to Christ, Pastor Niral speaks on the spirit of Saul versus the spirit of David. He points out how each man dealt with the correction of their prophets, and how these two dynamics relate to discipleship in our present day.
On a beautiful spring Saturday afternoon, Elder Ose Burnett, Tomi Oyegbola, and Elizabeth Barsoum joined together in a podcast to speak to single women on what to do to be married. Very often in singleness, women (and men) are instructed on what NOT to do in their singleness. But, what SHOULD a woman do in anticipation of getting a spouse? How should she present herself to the world, as she prays for the man God has for her? What kind of man should she seek? The messages in this podcast serve as the groundwork for an upcoming women's conference that you'll hear about, soon.…
In this fourth part of the Winning the Church to Christ series, Pastor Niral speaks on the “Unceasing Prayer” portion of the First Love Fellowship mission. Pulling from chapters 8 and 9 of the book of Ezekiel, Niral ministers on the inkhorn judgment which began in the house of God, and why it is imperative that every believer became an intercessor— a prayer warrior on behalf of the Church. This is not an option. It is a mandate that will put you at odds against the culture around you, even amongst church people. Still, it will align you with God’s agenda, and all the blessing which comes with that agenda. He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.…
The Matthew 25 mandate is a charge that EVERY CHRISTIAN should take as a matter of life and death, because it is. Judgement is decided, based on this mandate. Eternity is in the balance, based on this one teaching of Jesus. Still, there is glory, and reward for anyone who would answer the call of Jesus to engage in what He considers priority. In this message, Pastor Niral teaches on why every co-laborer of First Love Fellowship (and every believer in general) must pay attention to this specific call which is expressed in the FLF vision and mission: Winning the Church to Christ through unceasing prayer, intentional discipleship, and missional living.…
Niral and Ose continue the discussion of Winning the Church to Christ, exposing major needs int he body of Christ, keeping us safe from those who "creep in," based on the book of Jude.
Pastor Niral ministers a foundational message for First Love Fellowship, from Isaiah 62:1. Decades ago, he saw it coming -- a time where the church would become a mission field of people who were subject to apostate culture to the point that evangelism had to happen in our church walls. Now, we are resisting this apostasy by bringing the gospel message to the church. You are invited to become a part of this prophetic mandate, and get back to the Bible!…
Worship is more than a song we sing. It is not just music. While it may involve music at times, true worship is more about surrender and sacrifice. In this second part of the True Worship message, Pastor Niral teaches on what it really means to worship God, and what it costs.
Are you willing to suffer? Are you selling to give up everything? Are you prepared to lay all aside, for the sake of Christ? Is your life in total surrender? In this message, Pastor Niral teaches on True Worship, which always involves sacrifice -- even the sacrifice of one's life. This may not be a popular message among the "feel good" culture of today's church, but it is a message to those who desire, as Paul desired, to gain Christ.…
In this message, we review the Revelation Gifts of the Spirit. Pastor Niral speaks on the idea that the spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 were always meant to be the means by which the church operated, as one body in Christ. Clearly, there must be something about the Church that the world cannot replicate -- something supernatural. It's time to return to the first works, and allow room for the Holy Spirit to move through the body of Christ, again.…
This third part of this series speaks of the gifts of the Spirit. Even among "Charismatics," the Spirit has become more of an expression than a spiritual reality. Pastor Niral speaks to this issue by diving right into the gifts of the Spirit, and why they are important for this day. In this message, he speaks on the power gifts: Miracles, healing, and faith.…
When men in the Bible came into contact with God, everything changed. Today, we are proficient about speaking of Him, but we are weak in engaging Him. In this message, Pastor Niral outlines why it's important in our day to encounter God.
Go to any church in America, and you will hear a message about God. The internet is rife with people debating about Him. Even we, in our devotional lives consume data about Him. When do we actually meet this God? How can we actually engage Him beyond reading about Him, or hearing about Him? It seems the the entirety of scripture shows us a God who wants to be close. Yet, so few experience that closeness. In this message, Niral and Ose speak on the very thing that holds us back from engaging and seeing Him as we should. This message is for every Christian.…
This is the final FLOC podcast of 2023. Niral and Ose share some insight on what the church must do to prepare for what every indicator seems to suggest, will be a tumultuous year. What are the expectations God has of us? How can we live, blessed even though the world around us is going crazy? What are the concrete actions we must take? It's all in this episode.…
The process of healing involved PRAISE! In this episode, Krystal Thomas speaks on the process of healing that allowed her to walk out of the hospital with a healthy son, who had been diagnosed with leukemia. Elder Ose joins her as host, as they both share strategies on how to overcome when all the odds are against you.…
