The Book of Malachi is a good book to read particularly for families. It outlines God’s unchanging love for His people, as well as rebuke and exhortation. He also addresses, in no uncertain terms, the treachery of priests and laymen divorcing faithful wives and marrying heathen women who are idolaters. This is followed by a […]
STEVE LYSTON | FATHERS LEADING THE CHANGE
We have been seeing crises everywhere – school shootings, gang violence, the breakdown of morals in the society, and it is all leading back to the absence of the fathers. The prisons are being filled as a result of the absence of the fathers. As we conduct marriage and family counseling, we recognize that the […]
STEVE LYSTON | SOME OF THE MANY FACTORS AFFECTING MARRIAGES
Mark 10: 9 reminds us, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” There is a great effort globally, from high places, to destroy marriages as we know it. Many of the articles on marriage and divorce which you may read these days, have an air of arrogant vehemence against marriage and seem […]

THE ARMY AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
By: Apostle Steve Lyston The army has been very prominent in the media lately regarding domestic violence, not only locally, but it is a common issue internationally. Many cast blame and are taking sides at the gender level; but domestic violence should never be dealt with on the basis of gender. If we are looking […]
VALUE YOUR MARRIAGE – DON’T PLAY!
By: Apostle Steve Lyston A higher percentage of marriages are crumbling today, and some that look good on the outside are unstable within. Some are just for show to appease others and the children – and the issues that cause them to crumble are simple things like credit cards, bills, closet space, long working hours […]
ORDER IN THE CHURCH: SEXUAL IMPURITY
The cry locally and globally regarding sexual impurity in the church on the part of the church leader leaves a lot of questions and opportunities. Were those with the titles of Bishop or Pastor within the local church afraid to address these serious matters because they were afraid of financial fallout and popularity. Everyone needs to really read and seek to understand I Corinthians 5. We need to judge within the church and let God deal with the world.
The Church seriously needs to look at how they select leaders – are they selected by level of education, societal status. Leaders must be selected by the Holy Spirit and the Word particularly Acts 6; I Timothy 3: 6, Luke 6: 12 – 17.
Is the church putting young converts and people who are consumed with pride in positions of leadership in the Church – those who are untested – (I Timothy 3: 6). These days, people turn into Bishops and Apostles overnight and have quite a large following thereafter without them being tested or proven.
When a leader of a church – whether Pastor, Bishop or Prophet – commit sexual sins openly, and it is exposed they are still kept in the position without correction or restoration and then they call it grace! (Galatians 6: 1) Part of the restoration process includes discipline; for example, putting them to sit down for a year while they receive counselling.
If the church supports common-law relationships or marry those who are unequally yoked according to the Scriptures (II Corinthians 6) then it means the church is also upholding sexual impurity and opens the door for such.
What about Worship Teams and Musicians. They are now operating like stars and many of them are walking in sexual impurity, when they are supposed to be the most holy ministry in the church. Yet we allow them to operate and that opes the door to sexual immorality and defilement of the congregations. (Read IN HIS PRESENCE by Pastor Michelle Lyston) They mix with the world and think God is okay with it. So because we no longer allow the Holy Spirit, the Word of God and Jesus Christ to be the Center, the Body of Christ is now paying the price. If one belief is not lining up with the Word of God, then we are not even supposed to listen to them. Read Galatians 1: 8
Finally, many attend churches, but did God lead them to where they are going or is it simply a physical attraction?
THE RISING OF THE SPIRIT OF INCEST
2017 is a very significant year for every believer to rise up and fulfill their God-given purpose. We must walk in obedience according to Deuteronomy 28: 1 – 14 in order to receive the promise. Many persons have great expectations, but those will only come to fruition if we begin to change some things about ourselves now.
- We have to renew our minds daily
- Let our light shine
- Seek God daily
- Obedience to the instructions of the Lord
Prophetic Revelation
The Lord is showing me that the spirit of Incest will rise – especially that fathers will want to have sex with their daughters and uncles with their nieces. It is happening right across the board with families to destroy the institution of family and many are afraid to talk. We need to rise up against this spirit that is rising up to destroy the family. We also need to deal with the spirit of incest which is also destroying the church. Pastors and Bishops are ‘feasting’ on the flock so-to- speak and many of the churches sweep it under the carpet while they allow them to remain on the pulpit. But they must remember I Timothy 3. God is going to expose more of these issues. If we are the church and we are supposed to bring healing to the world, then it must start within the church. The spirit of Eli has to be broken and HOLINESS must reign if we are going to deal effectively with Perversion and the Spirit of Incest.
We also need to cry out against the Media, Hollywood who are promoting perversion and incest. It is extremely rampant, especially among Caucasians. Pray for Maryland. Pray against riots in Indianapolis Pray for the state of Alaska, as government officials are planning to go there regarding oil – potential problems. Pray for the souls of Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Jamaican singer Sanchez and Boy George. Pray also against a freak accident on Usain Bolt. He needs to seek the Lord and turn his life over to the Lord now. Single Christians need to read the story of Ruth in the Bible again and line up accordingly. Pray against meteorites creating havoc and against severe cosmic activities. Donald Trump needs to be wise regarding Russia. Russia is not his friend. There is a subtle plan to trap him and it can cause impeachment and topple his presidency. He needs to seek God as never before. The enemy will not come in a way to which he is accustomed. They are coming in suits and ties.
Enjoy Your Single Life
Apostle Dr Steve Lyston: I believe being married is the number one thing on the list of every single woman. Many want to get married even more than getting an education. Some believe that there is a shortage of men, particularly in the church. Many single women make compromises which lead to hurt, joining themselves […]
