Restoring the Believer’s Voice

(A Kingdom Response to a Shifting World/ Post 10)

There are certain years when the spiritual atmosphere feels unsettled, when institutions feel less stable, and when the world feels like it is moving faster than our ability to interpret it. This is one of those years. Across the nation, many believers are disillusioned with church politics, exhausted by religious performance, and quietly wrestling with the realization that the systems we once trusted do not have the power to anchor us in seasons like this.

At the same time, the world outside the church is trembling. We see the government shutdowns, inflation, layoffs, paused benefits, rising uncertainty, and people are living with the tension of feeling spiritually grounded yet practically vulnerable.

And underneath all of this is a question that believers rarely say out loud but carry heavily in their hearts: Where is the power we were told we have? I know this because it prompted my first private Let There Be challenge.

This is the space the Let There Be Challenge steps into.

In a year when the collective heart of the Church feels weary, this challenge functions as a return to the beginning. To be clear, I'm not talking about the beginning of Scripture but to the beginning of identity, inheritance, and government. I think we have reached a point where many Christians know how to pray but not how to govern, how to plead but not how to decree, how to be devoted but not how to be authoritative.

Essentially, we have been discipled into sincerity but not rulership, encouraged in emotional expression but not trained in spiritual legislation. As a result, many of us feel spiritually full yet practically stuck, holding deep love for God but lacking the tools to move with God in tangible, governmental ways.

This challenge matters because it restores what has been missing.

No shade, but the Church at large has spent years preparing believers to trust God without preparing us to partner with Him. We have been taught to wait for divine intervention instead of learning how to legislate divine intention. We have been told that prayer is the solution for everything, while the Bible itself distinguishes prayer from decree, revealing that one aligns the heart upward and the other aligns the world outward.

This is where so many frustrations have taken root.

We are praying faithfully, yet many of our environments remain unmoved. Are we speaking sincerely? Perhaps. Do some of our words lack structure, sequence, and legitimacy? Yes. We can't keep longing for breakthrough but do not yet understand the architecture of authority that makes movement possible.

The Let There Be Challenge interrupts that cycle.

At its core, this challenge trains believers to live as the Scripture always intended. If you don't know, we are supposed to be the governors, representatives; and people partnering with Heaven to enforce the will of God in the earth. With this in mind, for forty days, we practice what Adam modeled in Eden, what Jesus demonstrated in His ministry, and what the early Church understood instinctively: that authority is not emotional or accidental but inherited, intentional, and enacted through the stewardship of words, atmospheres, and identity.

This challenge is important this year because instability has forced every believer to confront the limits of borrowed faith.

When systems shake, only identity remains.

When governments stall, only jurisdiction stands.

When institutions lose clarity, only Kingdom authority carries weight.

I know that people need to know how to speak with power, how to align their environment with Heaven’s order, and how to govern their world instead of being shaped by it. Furthernore, they need to know how to interpret what is happening spiritually so that fear does not become the loudest voice in their lives.

Ultimately, the believer’s greatest fear right now is not just economic uncertainty or political chaos, but the fear of powerlessness.

It is the fear that our spiritual life has no influence in the world around us. It is the fear that we cannot shift anything that touches our future. And the deeper fear beneath all of this is the worry that the authority described in Scripture may not actually be accessible to us in the way they were taught.

The Let There Be Challenge confronts that fear directly.

Each year, I teach believers that authority is not an abstract concept but a practical inheritance. I aim to show that Genesis 1 is a governmental blueprint because it reveals that what God modeled in the beginning is the pattern He expects His children to continue in their own lives. Moreover, it empowers you to step into that pattern with confidence — writing with identity, speaking with legitimacy, aligning atmospheres strategically, and enforcing Heaven’s order intentionally.

To be clear, this challenge is for the believer who feels stuck, for the one who senses that God has called them to more but cannot yet articulate the language of dominion, for the one who wants transformation but also needs structure, and for the one who hears God’s voice but does not know how to partner with it in tangible ways.

Ultimately, it is for the one who is tired of emotional religion, and the one who is ready to step into maturity, responsibility, and spiritual intelligence.

This is why the challenge matters.

This is why the challenge is necessary.

This is why the challenge is timely.

Because the Church no longer needs more noise; it needs people who can govern. It's easy to understand what God can do, but what has He told you to do? That's the part that trips us up everytime.

Before 2026, I want you to purpose to recover identity, inherit authority, and rise into government.

This is the year “Let There Be” becomes a way of life.

P.S. I'm not saying this to hype you up, I'm saying this because I'm currently living a life I didn't know to dream.
