Greetings to all, pastors, leaders, friends, brothers who honor us in this hour; loved ones, members of Peniel Church, who fought and fought extensively with God and with men to prevail. And in particular to Dr. Stalling, President of ABC, we pray that the Spirit of the Lord rests over us to help us and bless us.

To our Great God all the glory for ever and ever.

We are here today as the people of Israel were when returning from exile from Babylon; We return to our home, like Nehemiah came from Persia to rebuild the Temple and the walls burned with fire; also as Jesus Christ entered the temple in Jerusalem and took possession of the "House of my Father!"

This is an Act of Faith and righteous indignation! A cry out in war for freedom, an army breaking the iron gates, invading the city and destroying the strongholds of the enemy.

Today we pray, in the Name of Jesus, that all evil structures which have for so long afflicted us be undone. We have resisted all provocations, as Jesus Christ defeated the devil in the desert, by the Power of His Word!

The Angel of the Lord goes before us.

We can already hear the "lion roaring" in the streets, in cities, palaces all over the earth. "The Lion of Judah roars," who will not fear? "- Cries the Prophet Amos.

"For the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes;"

"Because the Gospel of Christ reveals the righteousness of God, for the just shall live by faith;"

Sow with sacrifice, work hard; under the scorching sun, snow, and pouring rain, strong winds, and extreme cold!

During all these years the wiles of the devil tried to silence the Church of the Lord with fascination for what the world has to offer, silencing preachers and prophets who soon became uncompromised, while the people around the world were astray; disillusioned Christians and young men without purpose, groaning under the weight of oppression and deception, running faster towards the Judgment of the Lord.

- The Lion of the Tribe of Judah roars; who will not fear?

So within us strongly cries out the voice of the Holy Spirit: "You are my Son, today I have begotten you," said the Father "You are my children"; "I have seen the affliction of my people, I have heard their cry caused by so much whipping. I will free you. "

And he commanded, "Go Moses; take my people out of Egypt. My people from Israel will be free. "

This is happening here today, under the Authority and the powerful Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the boldness and anointing of the Holy Spirit.

Let us come to the house of the Lord, let us take our Temple, our house, our home, where our soul rejoices in God, our blessed King, Legislator, Judge and Saviour!

Our harps have come down from the willow trees ...The virgins, young men and elders can sing and dance Zion’s sweet songs!

We thank the Lord for Dr. Stalling’s life, who fought through alongside with us, for all his hard work and guidance since 1999 when we first bought this place, and then again in 2009 when we faced our greatest battle, today has come our day to become free again, we are very thankful for your life.

We commit to God and the Lord, we pray this church is a stronghold in the global missionary work, that its purpose here in America always come from the Lord.

To our Almighty God is all glory for all the centuries to come.

“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved” (Genesis 32.30)
