Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on the believer’s God-given authority, identity, and responsibility. The preacher teaches that Christians are not meant to live powerless or defeated, because Jesus explicitly gives His disciples authority “over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:16–19). The sermon calls the church to be mission-minded, to represent Christ faithfully in speech and conduct, and to live by faith rather than feelings, especially in hardship, sickness, or emotional battles. The Apostle also stresses that God does not forget His people and urges believers to maintain joy, holiness, and order, while relying on prayer, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. Finally, the sermon warns that deliverance must be followed by a filled, submitted life, otherwise spiritual oppression may return “worse than the first” (Luke 11), reinforcing the need for maturity and ongoing spiritual discipline.

• Luke 10:16 is emphasized: to hear/receive Christ’s messengers is to hear Christ; to reject them is to reject God’s sending authority.
• Encouragement: don’t be shaken by rejection, God’s grace is welcomed, not forced.

• The sermon contrasts the determination of worldly people pursuing goals with how believers sometimes lose focus after “road bumps.”
• Call: be aligned with the Great Commission and stay unified.

• Luke 10:19 is a central anchor: authority to “trample” and power over the enemy; nothing shall harm the believer walking rightly in Christ.
• The preacher highlights “physical and mental strength” and challenges believers not to accept ongoing defeat, fear, or oppression as normal.

• Strong emphasis on the tongue: habitual negative confession (“I hurting,” “I sick,” etc.) can keep people bound in expectation and mindset.
• Believers are urged to speak in alignment with God’s promises (healed, delivered, restored) and to “pull” desired outcomes by faith.

• Grace is described as unmerited favor; mercy as forgiveness and being spared deserved judgment.
• The sermon urges reflection near year-end: “What have you done with your life…in the kingdom?” (a call to spiritual accountability and growth).

• Luke 11:9–13 is used: Ask, Seek, Knock, God responds, and the Father gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask.
• The preacher warns against being “half-baked”/lukewarm Christians: immaturity misuses power; spiritual tools require training and discipline.

• Luke 11 teaching: an unclean spirit can return to an “empty” swept house with more wicked spirits, making the person’s latter state worse.
• Application: after deliverance, keep Jesus central; don’t leave spiritual “space” for re-entry.

• “A house divided cannot stand” is applied broadly: don’t tear down your own household/church/body of Christ through careless talk.
• Practical integrity: respect God’s house; keep order; serve faithfully (ministry is not to be treated casually).

• The closing prayer asks God for endurance, open doors, salvation for seekers, and healing for the ill, weary, and wounded, reinforcing God’s ongoing care and sufficiency.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff centers on Isaiah Chapter 6, exploring the profound vision of the prophet Isaiah and its relevance to modern believers. The message emphasizes supernatural encounters with God, divine cleansing, and the call to service. The apostle introduces the sermon by revealing that the upcoming year’s theme will be “supernatural encounter with divine intervention through His word,” building upon the current year’s theme of “favor and service.”

The Apostle begins by defining what constitutes a biblical vision: a supernatural encounter with God that is often a revelation of God’s glory or the meaning of past or future events. This definition establishes the framework for understanding Isaiah’s extraordinary experience. She emphasizes that visions occur in atmospheres where God’s supernatural glory is present, and people can fall into such visions when they maintain the right spiritual environment.

The sermon explores Isaiah 6 in depth, beginning with the temporal marker: “In the year that King Uzziah died.” The apostle explains that Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, with the skirts of His train filling the most holy part of the temple. Above Him stood the seraphim, angelic beings positioned specifically to glorify God.

When Isaiah beheld this vision of God’s holiness, his immediate response was profound self-awareness: “Woe is me! For I am undone and ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”

This moment represents a critical spiritual principle: true encounter with God’s holiness produces genuine conviction and self-awareness. Isaiah didn’t make excuses or blame others; he took responsibility for his spiritual condition.

The sermon’s central transformative moment comes when one of the seraphim responds to Isaiah’s confession. Having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from off the altar, the seraphim flew to Isaiah and touched his mouth with it, declaring: “Behold, this has touched your lips. Your iniquity and guilt are taken away, and your sin is completely atoned for and forgiven.”

The Apostle emphasizes that the fire of the altar in Old Testament times was never supposed to go out. If the fire went out, the priests faced serious consequences. She draws a parallel to New Testament believers: the fire in your life must never go out, or you will be in big trouble. If God is a consuming fire, His people cannot be cold, icy, or indifferent.

The live coal represents purification and cleansing. Sometimes God literally has to give believers supernatural encounters for cleansing so that when they emerge, they are never the same again. These transformational encounters leave permanent marks on a person’s life, no one can tell them otherwise about what God has done.

The Apostle shares powerful personal testimonies to illustrate the reality of supernatural encounters with God. She describes her own experience of being taken up to the heavens with incredible speed after the death of her first child. She testifies, “I understand what Isaiah is saying here because of experience. High and lifted up. I saw the Lord high and lifted up.”

These testimonies underscore a central message: “You see that moment with Yahweh? It changes everything.”Whether going through the valley of the shadow of death, experiencing a low season, or facing a bed of affliction, one day with Yahweh will transform your situation.

Following Isaiah’s cleansing, God asks: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” The Apostle emphasizes that God is looking for runners today, men and women who will go for Him, people who will respond, “Here I am.”

She notes the profound reality that God has to ask, “Whom shall I send?” when He looks through the land. This question implies a scarcity of willing, prepared servants.

Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a strong call to real discipleship, not performative Christianity, not “church on Sunday and anything after,” but a life of worship, purity, obedience, and mission. The Apostle opens with a firm personal decision: regardless of trials, testing, or pressure, “I will worship… I am going to go through with God,” standing on God’s Word because “the anchor holds.” The congregation is urged to come before God sincerely, no faking it, because God keeps record of what we do, say, and even meditate on, and Christlike character must be the same in private and in public.

A major theme is that worship is not reserved for easy seasons. Believers are challenged: when life becomes difficult and “all hell breaks loose,” will you still praise and remain committed, or will you turn your back on God? The sermon frames true faith as choosing God consistently, honoring Him for who He is, not only for what He has done.

The sermon defines a disciple as more than a follower. A disciple is:

1. Following Jesus,
2. Being changed by Him, and
3. Committed to His mission.

So the key question is not “do you attend?” but are you being transformed and are you committed to Christ’s mission?

The Apostle warns that when believers go through hardship and pull away from God, isolate, and stop listening, it becomes spiritual danger, because Satan fills the mind with confusion and distortion. The instruction is plain: don’t go through trials with emotions alone, go through with Jesus.

The sermon centers on Jesus’ teaching that discipleship is proven by continuing/abiding in His Word.

Jesus’ condition is emphasized: “If you continue in my word… you are indeed my disciples.” The Apostle applies this sharply: some people “move with Jesus when they want to and move with Satan when they want to.” But a child of God cannot live double-minded, Satan is not playing, and believers must not “play church.”

The sermon addresses spiritual bondage: Jesus says the one who practices sin is a slave to sin, while “who the Son sets free is free indeed.” This becomes both an encouragement and a warning: freedom in Christ is precious, but it must not be treated casually or contradicted by hidden sin.

The Apostle challenges a common cultural assumption heard especially at funerals: people may say someone “had good ways” and therefore is “with the angels,” but Scripture does not support that logic. The sermon insists: good works alone do not carry someone to heaven, salvation must be through Christ and His blood. “This life is your dress rehearsal for the hereafter,” and God’s Word is given to prepare us.

The sermon repeatedly returns to the need for purity, clean living, clean motives, and clean private life.

A major warning is given against hidden sexual sin, hypocrisy, and pretending to be sanctified while living compromised. The sermon stresses that even when gifts operate, character can be missing, yet God still may move miraculously because “the gifts are without repentance.” That is presented as a sobering thought, not an excuse: the church must pursue holiness so God’s work can flow as He desires.

Toward the end, the sermon summarizes discipleship requirements with specific passages:

Jesus’ call is presented as personal and non-negotiable: deny self, take up the cross, follow Christ, cling to Him, and conform to His example (even if it costs you).

The sermon explains that the word “hate” in some translations is not encouraging bitterness, but priority, God must be first above every other relationship.

The sermon closes by calling believers to choose one loyalty: you cannot serve God and mammon, you cannot be lukewarm, and you cannot follow Christ with mixed priorities. True discipleship is surrender, hands open, not fists raised, living in Spirit and truth, bearing fruit, and staying committed in every season.
