Feet That Run to Evil – Walking by the Spirit in a Fast-Moving World
Kingdom Now with Dr. John Carmichael

Proverbs doesn’t say “feet that drift.” It says “feet that run rapidly.”

In this searching and practical episode, Dr. John Carmichael unpacks Proverbs 6 and confronts the spiritual danger of unchecked impulse in a culture addicted to speed. Sin rarely happens accidentally. It often begins with provision, pacing, and patterns we’ve tolerated for too long.

Drawing from Romans 13, Galatians 5, Hebrews 12, and Ephesians 4, this message exposes how fast decisions, emotional reactions, digital habits, and unguarded environments quietly train our feet toward compromise. But this is not a message of shame—it’s a message of reset.

The flesh drives. The Spirit walks.

God is releasing fresh grace to close open doors, lay aside encumbrances, restore spiritual rhythm, and reclaim disciplined freedom. You are not doomed to impulse. The same Holy Spirit who empowers boldness also produces self-control.

When we surrender our pace to the Spirit, impulse becomes discernment and compulsion gives way to righteousness.

Listen now and receive a fresh anointing—not to run faster, but to walk holier.

A Heart That Devises Wicked Plans – When Imagination Turns Dark
Kingdom Now with Dr. John Carmichael

Most sins don’t start in public—they start in private.

Before the lie is spoken… before betrayal unfolds… before harm is done… it was imagined.

In this searching and Spirit-led episode, Dr. John Carmichael unpacks Proverbs 6 and exposes one of the most interior sins in Scripture: “a heart that devises wicked plans.” This message goes beyond behavior to the workshop of the heart—where imagination, intention, and mental rehearsal shape destiny.

Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in Mark 7, Paul’s call to take every thought captive, and David’s cry for a clean heart, this episode reveals how corrupted imagination darkens reasoning, distorts desire, and quietly derails spiritual authority. But it also offers hope: the Holy Spirit does not merely convict—He renovates.

Revival doesn’t begin at the altar first. It begins in the heart.

If you’ve ever wrestled with hidden thought patterns, secret rehearsals, or interior battles no one else sees, this episode will challenge and encourage you. The same God who exposes also renews.

Listen now and invite the Holy Spirit to sanctify your imagination and reshape your desires from the inside out.

When the Innocent Are Wounded
Kingdom Now with Dr. John Carmichael

What does it mean that God hates “hands that shed innocent bl**d”? Is this only about murder—or something deeper?

In this powerful and pastoral message, Dr. John Carmichael unpacks Proverbs 6 and reveals that “innocent bl**d” includes more than criminal violence. It speaks to exploitation, abuse, betrayal, oppression, and the crushing of the vulnerable. This episode is both a warning to the oppressor and comfort to the wounded.

From Jesus’ words about generational bl**d guilt to James’ confrontation of economic exploitation, this message exposes how violence can be systemic, relational, and even rooted in unchecked hatred. But it also proclaims hope: God sees innocent suffering. He is not passive toward injustice. He rises to defend, vindicate, and restore.

If you have been wounded, this episode will remind you that heaven recorded every tear.
If you have harmed others, it is a call to repentance, restitution, and alignment.

God hates the shedding of innocent bl**d because He fiercely loves the innocent.

Listen now and allow the Holy Spirit to heal, convict, and restore.

Lying Tongue – When Truth Gets Distorted
Kingdom Now with Dr. John Carmichael

What does it really mean that God hates “a lying tongue”? Is every lie the same? What about Rahab? And why does truth matter so deeply for Spirit-filled believers?

In this sobering and Spirit-led episode, Dr. John Carmichael explores Proverbs 6:16–19 and unpacks why lying is not merely a moral issue—it’s a spiritual alignment issue. Jesus called the devil the father of lies, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. When truth is compromised, spiritual clarity dims and atmosphere shifts.

From Rahab’s story to Ananias and Sapphira, from the belt of truth in Ephesians 6 to the eternal weight of Revelation 21:8, this message challenges believers to reject subtle distortions, image management, exaggeration, and spiritual spin.

Truth is not optional. It is foundational.

If we want revival, unity, and spiritual authority, we must become people of uncompromised truth.

Listen now and allow the Spirit of truth to realign your words, your witness, and your spiritual atmosphere.

In this message from The Seven Things God Hates series, Dr. John Carmichael tackles the first and foundational issue from Proverbs 6: haughty eyes—when self takes the throne. Drawing from Luke 18, James 4, Philippians 2, and other New Testament texts, this sermon exposes pride as a rival throne that resists grace, grieves the Holy Spirit, and blocks spiritual power. This is a Spirit-filled call to humility, repentance, and restored intimacy with God—the posture that makes room for lasting presence and genuine revival.

In this powerful and clarifying message, Dr. John Carmichael launches a new teaching series with a question that often makes believers uneasy: What does God hate—and why does it matter today?

Rooted in Proverbs 6:16–19, this episode reframes “God’s hatred” not as anger or condemnation, but as relational, covenantal love. God does not hate arbitrarily—He opposes whatever threatens truth, unity, spiritual sensitivity, and life with Him. This is a message especially vital for Spirit-filled believers who desire not just gifting, but sustained intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

Dr. Carmichael explores how sin dulls spiritual sensitivity, how the Holy Spirit can be grieved or quenched, and why holiness is not about shame but protecting the presence of God among His people. Drawing from passages in John, Ephesians, Acts, Corinthians, and James, this teaching shows that what God hates, the Spirit longs to heal—and that revival is sustained by aligned hearts, not just powerful moments.

This episode sets the tone for the entire series: heart examination without condemnation, repentance as restoration, and unity as spiritual infrastructure. It is a call to guard relationships, reject division, and pursue purity—not to earn God’s love, but to make room for His dwelling.

Sermon in a sentence:
What God hates, He wants to remove—so He can release what He loves.

🎧 If you’re hungry for clarity, depth, and a Spirit-filled understanding of holiness that leads to life, this message will challenge and encourage you.
