Summary
This sermon focuses on understanding God's timing and seasons, distinguishing between chronos (chronological time) and kairos (God's appointed moments). The pastor emphasizes that 2025 has been a year of intense spiritual warfare over our future, requiring us to deal with bloodlines and past issues to prepare for what's coming. He teaches that we must learn to recognize kairos moments - divinely orchestrated times that require decisions and actions that will determine our future. The message stresses the importance of being prepared spiritually, mentally, and even physically for upcoming seasons, while learning to rule with Christ by breaking strongholds, controlling our emotions and words, and positioning ourselves properly with God.

Intro Prayer
Father God, as we gather together today, we ask that You would open our hearts and minds to receive what You have for us in this time. Lord, help us to be sensitive to Your Spirit and to recognize the kairos moments You are bringing into our lives. We pray that You would speak to each of us individually about the season we are in and how we can better align ourselves with Your purposes. Give us ears to hear and hearts that are willing to respond to Your call. In Jesus' name, Amen.

This week, take time to examine your life for any ungodly covenants or contracts you may have unknowingly made with the enemy. Pray and ask God to reveal any areas where you need to repent and break off legal access points. Also, identify one area where you need to 'rule' better - whether in your thoughts, emotions, words, or home environment - and take practical steps to establish godly order in that area.
