You can SEE your dreams, but are you letting the process build you for them? In the message, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell reminds us: revelation comes before the refining, and the refining is necessary.

Seasons—both literal and metaphorical—are not accidental, but part of God’s divine order. God created seasons to keep the earth in order. This truth sets the foundation for understanding that change, process, and even pain are woven into the very fabric of our spiritual journey and personal development.

Don't rush into your next season. The season you’re in is not a punishment, but preparation for your purpose.

Kill the Flesh. Break the Curse. Reign in Peace. There are three kings in all of us, and in his message, Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell explores the spiritual seasons that each of these kings represents within us all: Saul’s insecurity and ego, David’s curse-breaking warfare, and Solomon’s peace and wisdom.

He challenges listeners to examine the “Saul” in themselves—the impulses toward pride, self-promotion, and resistance to correction—and encourages us to embrace our inner “David” for breaking generational patterns through faith and perseverance.
