Dr. Steve Rocco and Voice in The Kingdom
God gives each of us a journey of defining moments. Dr. Steve Rocco, through this podcast, is teaching us how every aspect of our spiritual walk is motivated by The Spirit of The Living God. Each week - published author, sought-after speaker at prophetic conferences, president of Calvary International School of Ministry and Theology and more - Dr. Rocco brings a timely word of love, patience and the greatness of God.
The fires of revival are crying out to the Laodicean church of the 21st century. We need a Pentecost awakening! Dr. Rocco explains the need for a Holy Spirit and fire revival in today's age. We, the church, can ill afford turning the gospel message inward when Jesus commanded us to preach to the world.
The last in this series on Dr. Rocco's 'Taking the Gates of the City' begins by giving the church and their leaders a strategy for change against a ruling secular humanistic regime. He explains how witchcraft and sorcery are now the ruling educational models in our schools and extends to family throughout the nation. These deceptive philosophies come in the name of freedom and openness. A live and let live mentality that Christianity has no place in. He shows us how to stand against these demonic influences and why we need to press in against the forces of darkness by preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is part 4 of our series Taking the Gates of the City. It is a spiritual strategy for the church to combat secular humanism in our society. On this podcast Dr. Rocco will identify the demonic deception that is put not only on society, but upon the Christian community as well. Listen to his deliberation on God's perspective of our responsibility in bringing the Good News to a lost and dying world.
Look how we got here? Secular Humanism is permeating our educational system and indeed our way of life in America. What was once a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values is now entering a New Age Agenda of immorality and degradation. Its intention is to deny the gospel of Jesus Christ and lead our nation's children down a road of Baalism and anti-Christ philosophies. This broadcast will give the Christian parent a broader view of what God requires and what should become our agenda going forward.
From the legislative process to educational influences Dr. Rocco presents a strategy instructing us on how to war against the demonic forces that want to control our children with an anti-Christ spirit. He gives a plan of action on how to face the Boards of Education in your towns and how to create a seat of power for Christ in your local community.
This podcast is a strategy to "Take the Gates of the City" in our local, state, and federal governments. In the last 100 years the devil has engaged liberation theology in our geo-political system with the intent to shut down Christianity and eliminate all preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is a false teaching that has lulled the church into an apathetic position when dealing with Board of Educations, local city councils, and state officials. This apathy from the church has led to woke culture, same sex marriages, transgenderism, and anti-Christian laws and regulations.
The Lord is doing a NEW thing in the church today! The witness of miracles, signs, and wonders are among us. At Open Air Ministries we have witnessed such moves of God. We are walking in a John 14:13-14 anointing. "Greater things will we do." But it is not without the opposition of religious traditionalists who believe our emotionalism and sensationalism is not the work of God. These are the ones who have never TRULY experienced what happens when the Holy Spirit comes upon a man. It is a sight to behold.
Our walk through holiness rests in the prophetic Spirit of the Living God. In order to have a holy life we must have Christlikeness. All of our being must permeate the life of Jesus Christ. All our attention, all our reverence, and all our existence must center on the righteousness that is Jesus Christ. The Living Word is a prophetic proclamation and a testimony to holiness. Without holiness we cannot enter in and stand before Him. Wherever He dwells is holy ground, wherever He walks is holy ground, and wherever He presents Himself is holy ground. We are His temple therefore the holiness that rests in Him is present in the temple of our bodies. This is prophetic declaration!
Our walk with the Lord is a journey from the cross to the kingdom. We are a supernatural people bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Peter tells us, "...you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light" 2 Peter 2:9. The realm of the supernatural is a prophetic call to the greatness of God as His people.
In Hebrews 12:18-22 the writer of this letter is bringing a prophetic proclamation of the Zion anointing. He is describing the differences of a Sinai vs. Zion truth to the walk of God in our lives. Sinai sits outside of the Promised Land [a heaven/earth connection]. Israel had to cross the Jordan River and leave the wilderness behind in order to enter the Promised Land. Zion is located in the recesses of the north in the city of Jerusalem [the city of God]. The writer of Hebrews explains the power of God's prophetic fulfillment by describing the setting in Zion. It is surrounded by myriads of angelic host dressed in celebration; it is filled with the multitude of God's people belonging to Christ, and it is the place of the throne of Christ. Those who dwell in Zion, dwell in the eternal presence of God. Zion is the end of our exile.
The power of the Holy Spirit through our Pentecost anointing brings waves of glory into our supernatural lives in Christ. We are new creatures and heirs to the throne of Christ. In our walk with Him these waves of glory flow into our situation through heaven/earth connections. Our purpose then, is to decree and declare the will of God in our lives and walk in the flow of His glory.
"A prophetic vision. "I saw a great valley and many dead bones rising up from the land. In their path was a great light and they rose and began to walk toward it. They were clothed in filthy rags but as they approached the light a gateway as a mantle of salvation was before them. The moment they began to walk through the gateway their filthy rags turned into robes of righteousness. I, again, looked over the valley and they were coming as far as my eye could see. A voice from heaven said, "Speak to the valley of dead bones, command them to rise and come into the light." I spoke to them, and they were rising up. Multitudes by multitudes that could not be counted. Only the King of kings knew the number. It was a great harvest unlike the world has ever known."
The devil has set put to steal your birthright. Our birthright is a combination of three anointings: we are made in the image and likeness of God, we have dominion over the earth, and we have kingdom authority. All of the three which were stolen from us in the garden are now restored in Christ. This teaching will give the believer a revelation of their true place in the kingdom.
Dr Rocco's teaching on "Praise to Prosperity" reveals how the power of God through worship brings a life of prosperity to a Christian. When we are in need of a blessing to change our circumstance our praise stirs the atmosphere and releases Prosperity.
