    The Paradox of "Praise"

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful analysis of Micah 6, framing the scriptural narrative as a divine courtroom drama where God contends with the hypocrisy and ingratitude of His people. This message reinforces her consistent themes of divine authority and the necessity of personal integrity. Apostle Conliff begins by examining the history of Judah, whose name means "praise". She points out a recurring spiritual failure: although Judah’s name was excellent, his life often reflected insult and misbehaviour, such as his role in selling his brother Joseph and his act of adultery. She challenges the congregation to ensure their lives reflect who they are in Christ, warning that many are "praising, but still doing the wrong thing". However, she offers hope by noting that God still allowed the Messiah to come through Judah's lineage, proving that God can use those who have made errors if they abandon their former ways. The sermon highlights Micah’s portrayal of a courthouse where God is the judge and the mountains and hills serve as witnesses. These physical landmarks are called to testify because the people had used high places to erect altars to foreign gods. Apostle Conliff emphasizes the "pain and grief" in God’s voice as He asks, "What have I done unto thee?". She rebukes the sin of ingratitude, noting that God must often "jog our memory" of past deliverances, such as the Exodus from Egypt, to counter our current unfaithfulness. A major point of the sermon is the lack of physical and spiritual space for God in modern lives. Apostle Conliff observes that people often have dedicated rooms in their houses for gyms, TV, or even pets, yet lack a "set apart" place for prayer and worship. She argues that while God can be praised anywhere, the lack of a dedicated altar reveals a lack of value placed on the relationship with the Almighty. Building on the biblical condemnation of "wicked scales" and "deceitful weights," Conliff delivers a stern message on economic justice. She warns that: Business Dishonesty: Cheating customers or "extorting" others to gain wealth is abominable to God.True Requirements: God is not moved by religious rituals or "thousands of rams" but by a heart that chooses to "do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly".The Apostle warns that sin is "deadly" and leads to a state of desolation she describes as a "banga season", a period of spiritual and physical drought. She explains that when God is vexed by unfaithfulness: Labor is Futile: People will plant crops but not harvest them, and press olives but get no oil.Wealth is Lost: Money saved through wickedness will eventually be given to "those who conquer you".Social Ruin: Following the wicked examples of leaders like Ahab leads to complete ruin and public mockery.The sermon concludes with a call to "contend for the faith" and maintain a "living sanctuary" for God. Apostle Conliff’s final prayer is for the congregation to remain "in tune with the frequency of heaven," ensuring their hands touch no unclean thing and their feet never run toward mischief, so that God may ultimately prosper their way.

    The Historical Cycle of Unbelief

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff's sermon provides a comprehensive analysis of the Book of Judges, weaving historical biblical narratives with contemporary social issues to illustrate the necessity of unwavering devotion to God. Apostle Conliff establishes the sermon’s foundation by examining Israel’s transition after the death of Joshua. She highlights a recurring spiritual pattern: God provides a miracle or victory, the people rejoice, but then they quickly regress into worldliness and sin once "things are well". She warns that Jesus must not be viewed merely as a "great physician" to be visited only during a crisis, but as a constant Savior, Provider, and Protector. A central theme is God's ability to use anyone, regardless of their background or perceived limitations. Apostle Conliff reviews the era of the judges, noting that: Jephthah, though born to a prostitute and discarded by his family, was chosen by God as a leader. However, his story also serves as a warning against "rash decisions" and impulsive vows.Deborah exemplifies divine authority; Apostle Conliff uses her successful 40-year reign to defend the modern role of women in ministry, arguing that if God used a woman to judge Israel in the Old Testament, He will certainly use them in the New.Ehud demonstrated that God can turn a perceived "disadvantage", such as being left-handed, into a strategic victory for His people.Samson represents the tragic danger of having supernatural power without the "common sense" to guard one’s heart against destructive relationships.Apostle Conliff delivers a stern warning regarding "unholy alliances." Because Israel failed to obey God’s command to drive out pagan inhabitants and destroy their altars, God allowed those nations to remain as "thorns in their side" and "snares". She applies this to the modern believer, asserting that refusing to separate from sinful environments or relationships leads to "bitter distress" and personal demise. A critical point of the sermon is the failure of the generation that arose after Joshua. Apostle Conliff attributes their lack of faith to parents who failed to "enforce the laws of God" in their own homes, leaving children vulnerable to pagan influences. She challenges the current generation to "lead by example" to prevent children from falling into "evil in the sight of the Lord". Drawing from the concept of divine authority, Conliff emphasizes that spiritual power requires "self-crucifixion", a total removal of ego so that God receives all glory. She rebukes "Christian bullying" and calls for a "glad spirit" in worship. True transformation comes when believers move beyond religious formality to develop a genuine "passion for the word". Reflecting on local crime in Trinidad and natural disasters abroad, Apostle Conliff stresses that "time is far spent". She implores the congregation to seek the Kingdom of God first, ensuring they do not "play with the mercies of God" but instead live as a people who "grow and glow" in His truth. The ultimate goal of her message is to move the church from a cycle of "rising and falling" to a state of sustained, obedient victory. Rec. Date: October 10th, 2024.

    Love Over Giftings

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful discourse on unity, humility, and the essential nature of love in the believer’s walk. Grounding her message in Ephesians 4, she challenges the congregation to move beyond transactional faith into a life of total dependency on God. Apostle Conliff asserts that the "believer’s walk" is unsustainable without total reliance on Father God. Using the Apostle Paul, the "prisoner of the Lord", as a model, she explains that true spiritual maturity involves following God's voice regardless of trials, imprisonment, or worldly peer pressure. She emphasizes that while God provides "destiny helpers," a believer's primary dependency must never be on man or material things. A recurring theme is the mandate of humility. Apostle Conliff rebukes "class" distinctions within the church, stating that heaven does not endorse stigmatizing those who have fewer opportunities. She characterizes the humble life as the "best life," noting that it attracts favor from both God and man. True humility, she argues, is shown in practical acts, such as helping the elderly or those less "agile," rather than operating with a self-centered "all about me" mentality. Drawing heavily from 1 Corinthians 13, the Apostle provides a rigorous critique of superficial spirituality. She warns that even the most "mighty" spiritual manifestations, such as prophetic powers, tongues of angels, or mountain-moving faith, are "nothing" and "useless" if they lack God’s love. She describes those who operate in gifts without love as "noisy gongs" or "clanging cymbals," making empty noise that does not benefit the Kingdom. Apostle Conliff calls for a radical "spiritual reset," distinguishing between worldly gratification and divine worship. She notably contrasts "whining" (a cultural, body-focused movement) with "worship" (paying homage to God). She insists that believers must "cut off" parts of the culture that do not glorify God, asserting that sanctification covers every part of a person's life, from their hips to their mindset. Discipleship, in her view, is not about what one can get from God, but being willing to give God one’s "all". The Apostle defines the relationship between believers as one of forbearance and mutual growth. Because there are no "perfect beings," believers must love others despite their faults while remaining "sharp" enough through the Word to correct and improve one another. She uses the metaphor of manually sharpening a knife on concrete to illustrate the effort required in the "old way" vs. the "new covenant" of the blood of Jesus, which provides a better, more direct way to be "sharpened" for service. The sermon concludes with a focus on supernatural victory and favor. Apostle Conliff shares a testimony of a man healed of a debilitating illness after his tests returned "no cancer," illustrating that God intervenes when human faith begins to dwindle. She encourages the congregation to trust in the "name of the most high God" rather than "chariots and horses," declaring that when the Lion of the tribe of Judah walks in on a believer's behalf, Satan must flee. The analysis reveals a sermon centered on holistic discipleship. Apostle Conliff’s message is clear: true spiritual authority is found not in outward displays of power, but in a heart that is humble, a life that is consecrated, and a spirit that is governed by the unchanging love of God.

    "Where Is My Honour ?"

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a pointed message centered on the Book of Malachi, focusing on the themes of divine honor, the quality of sacrifice, and the necessity of love. Building on the concept of divine authority from our conversation history, she emphasizes that true spiritual power is inseparable from a heart of humility and excellence. Apostle Conliff begins by asserting that all spiritual gifts work through love; without it, the gifts are ineffective. She describes love as a "gift" received through Jesus that enables believers to pray for and bless others without issue. She challenges the congregation to love their neighbors as themselves, noting that "loving people is not hard" if one’s mindset is correct. The core of the sermon addresses God's grievance through the prophet Malachi: "Where is my honor?". Apostle Conliff highlights the historical context of Malachi as the final prophetic voice before 400 years of silence, emphasizing that God was displeased with the people's lack of reverence. The Apostle applies this ancient rebuke to modern worshippers, warning against offering "polluted" or "worthless" sacrifices. Key points include: The Best for God: Believers should not give God "leftovers" - whether in time, talent, or treasure.Physical Offerings: Apostle Conliff specifically rebukes the practice of giving crumpled or "old" money while keeping "new money" for oneself, arguing that the quality of the presentation reflects the heart's respect for God’s altar.Purity of Service: She insists that everything brought to the altar, from food for first fruits to musical talents, must meet a standard of excellence, as God considers defective offerings "evil".Drawing on her role as a leader, Apostle Conliff explains that she meticulously oversees what is placed on the altar because she must give an account to God. She acknowledges that her strictness might offend some, but she maintains these standards to ensure the congregation fulfills its "purpose and destiny". She asserts her divine authorization to pronounce blessings and warns that she will not pray for situations resulting from intentional disobedience, such as "maintenance money" for children born out of wedlock. The sermon concludes with a sobering analysis of the curses resulting from disrespect. Apostle Conliff explains that when a believer "vexes God" with a poor sacrifice, God may: Rebuke the Seed: This results in a "delayed" or prevented harvest in the believer's life.Curse Blessings: God can turn a position of favor into one of lack.Public Shame: Citing Malachi, she warns that God may "splatter your face with dung" (the remains of defective sacrifices), metaphorically representing the rejection and disgrace of hypocritical worship.Finally, she reminds the congregation that they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. She warns that watching "killing games," "vampire shows," or "porn" defiles this temple, making it impossible to receive a "good word" or maintain the "cleanliness" required for God's presence. The ultimate goal of the message is to encourage wise living and a return to "genuine" prophecy and worship. Rec. Date: October 3rd, 2024

     Reverential Fear gives Supernatural Prosperity

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff’s sermon serves as a spiritual "reset" for the year’s end, emphasizing the bridge between reverential fear and supernatural prosperity. Drawing from Numbers 13 and Deuteronomy 28, she outlines a life governed by divine order rather than human negotiation. Apostle Conliff argues that many talk to God but few truly fear Him. She defines true fear as a refusal to negotiate one’s lifestyle, particularly regarding gossip or sexual immorality. She upholds a high standard of integrity and holiness, noting her refusal to baptize those in "common law" relationships because God’s blessings require a testimony of obedience. For Apostle Allison, staying "straightforward" in righteousness prevents Satan from "pointing fingers" at the church through the compromised lives of its members. Using the biblical spies as a warning, she rebukes the tendency to bring "evil reports" into the home or church. She challenges the "grasshopper" mentality, seeing oneself as tiny compared to giants, and insists believers see themselves through God’s eyes. She provides a radical definition of faith: believing a house is yours even with only "$5 in the bank" if God has spoken it. This echoes her previous teachings on divine authority, where human logic is secondary to God's final word. Central to the message is the conditional nature of God's promises in Deuteronomy 28. Apostle Conliff highlights that blessings are not automatic; they "overtake" those who "harken diligently" and are "watchful to do all His commandments". She warns that many want the "blessing" without the "serving," but true victory requires a lifestyle that does not "mess up" through compromise. The sermon climaxes with the opening of "heaven's good treasury". Apostle Conliff declares that heaven has no lack and that God's treasury is open to those who obey, transforming them from borrowers to lenders. She encourages the congregation to claim their status as the "head and not the tail" and to speak blessings over their city, field, and business to cancel the "voice of wickedness" and satanic declarations. Amidst spiritual promises, Apostle Allison provides sober, practical warnings. She cites local violence, specifically a contractor killed for his money after a bank withdrawal, to emphasize the need for spiritual alertness. She urges believers to listen for the Holy Spirit’s guidance (e.g., "don't go to the mall today") to avoid the traps set by "Satan and his imps". The analysis concludes with the stark reality of the "then" in Deuteronomy 28:15. While God is merciful, the same mouth that pronounces blessings also warns that turning back to "former gods" or disobedience transforms those blessings into curses. Her ultimate call is for the church to remain "real" and accept God's word as the final authority in every area of life to move mountains. Rec. Date: December 19th, 2024

    The Greatness of the Childlike Mindset

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff provides a rigorous analysis of Matthew 18, challenging the congregation to move beyond religious formality into a life of genuine discipleship, radical purity, and childlike humility. The sermon centers on the disciples’ inquiry regarding who is the "greatest" in the kingdom of heaven. Apostle Conliff explains that Jesus’ response, placing a child in their midst, was a strategic illustration of the necessity of repentance and heart transformation. She defines this "childlike" state not as immaturity, but as being "trusting, lowly, loving, and forgiving". She contrasts this with "big people" who often fail to recognize the pain they cause others, asserting that one cannot enter the kingdom without returning to this state of innocent trust. Building on themes from our conversation history regarding divine authority, Conliff reiterates that "the glory belongs to Jesus" and God shares it with no man. She warns that seeking personal exaltation is a "dead man's" path, citing King Saul as a biblical warning. She points to historical figures like Reinhard Bonnke and RW Shambach as models of those who "took no glory" despite witnessing miracles like the raising of the dead, emphasizing that a clean and pure lifestyle is the prerequisite for such anointing. Apostle Conliff provides a sobering interpretation of Jesus' command to "cut off" hands or feet that cause sin. She clarifies that this is not a call for literal mutilation but for a drastic "reset" of the mindset. To "cut it out" means to stop "foolishness," abandon "unholy alliances," and "disrespect sin" by walking away from it entirely. She specifically addresses: Secret Sins: Warning that "secret sins will destroy you" and that God often exposes them through the spirit or witnesses to save the individual's future.Sexual Purity: Rebuking "mingling" before the "ring" and insisting on "no wedding, no bedding" to maintain holiness.Integrity: Using the example of a blocked bank account, she suggests that God sometimes intervenes in physical circumstances to prevent a believer from falling into mischief.A major emphasis is placed on the believer’s responsibility as an example. Apostle Conliff argues that because children and new converts "mimic" leaders, a leader’s failure can "crush" the faith of others. She highlights Jesus’ "terrible" warning: that it is better to be drowned with a millstone than to cause a "little one" to lose faith through one’s lifestyle or temptations. The Apostle introduces the concept of storing treasures in heaven through faithful service, tithes, and sacrifice. She teaches that when a disciple "follows" God’s "straight and narrow" path, they build a spiritual reserve. When "satanic invasion" or illness strikes, a believer who has "stored up" can make a "withdrawal" from heaven for deliverance, whereas those who have not followed God's instructions find themselves unable to withdraw in times of crisis. Finally, Apostle Conliff warns against a dependency on the preacher rather than God. Using the example of an unsaved woman seeking a "word" on a medical procedure, she asserts that a prophet’s word cannot override a lack of personal faith. She insists that every believer must have their own "childlike faith", the kind that expects a "truck for Christmas" even when the parents have no money, because God responds to the heart’s trust, not just the preacher’s decree.

    Preparation Precedes Blessings

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a profound message on consecration, spiritual positioning, and the supernatural power of God. Drawing primarily from 2 Kings 3, she explores how divine intervention often requires human preparation and a heart of total surrender. Apostle Conliff defines consecration as being "set apart" for Christ rather than merely being "program oriented". She challenges believers to move beyond religious formality to live a life on the "Jesus beat". A central theme is that true service to God inherently leads to moral and civic integrity; those who serve God "in spirit and in truth" will naturally uphold the laws of the land. This integrity extends to financial matters, as she notes that the water supply for the three kings in the biblical narrative was cut because the Moabites stopped paying taxes, reminding the congregation to fulfill their obligations to avoid spiritual and physical lack. A major point of the sermon is that "preparation precedes the blessing". Using the miracle of the trenches in 2 Kings 3, she argues that if the wells weren't dug, the water would not have arrived. Believers must be "in position" to receive their change, acknowledging that while humans may fail or fall short, God’s power makes the impossible possible when one says "yes" to Him. Apostle Allison makes a distinction between human forgiveness and divine restoration. While humans may forgive but maintain distance, God "restores us to original communication". This restoration often requires a "reset" of one's life in the hand of God, similar to resetting a malfunctioning electronic device. Apostle Conliff uses her own journey as evidence of God’s power. Despite others discrediting or casting her away, God was "consecrating a village girl" for His purpose, turning "nothing into something". She emphasizes that a situation is not finished until Jehovah says it is finished, encouraging those who feel discarded to trust in God's ability to make "the finest of the fine" out of them. The Apostle rebukes the "lone ranger" mentality, asserting that heaven was not designed for individuals alone but for a body that works together. She introduces the concept of "tough love," explaining that just as flour must undergo the pressure of rolling and the heat of a "tawa" (plateau) to become a quality roti, God "presses" and "shapes" believers to bring out their best quality. The sermon’s climax focuses on supernatural breakthrough. By calling for a minstrel, the prophet Elisha invited the hand of God, which produced water in a dry brook without the visible signs of wind or rain. This signifies that when God provides, He does so with excellence and no lack, often in ways that defy natural logic. She encourages the congregation to trust that God can rescue them from "drought" and "devastation" if they remain humble and obedient to His word. Rec. Date: October 24th, 2024

    God Calls You For Purpose

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a profound analysis of spiritual legacy, growth, and reformation through the biblical narratives of King Manasseh and King Josiah. The message serves as a call to believers of all ages to reject the "evil" of their environment and embrace a radical, personal relationship with God. Apostle Conliff establishes that age is no barrier to divine service, noting that God called Moses at 80 and Josiah at 8. However, she emphasizes that a calling must be accompanied by visible spiritual growth. Using children of various ages as a physical metaphor, she argues that just as a child must develop in height and ability, a believer must show a "definite shift" in the realm of the spirit. She asserts that if a person has been "feeding" for years without development, it indicates a spiritual malfunction. A central portion of the sermon examines the "much evil" of King Manasseh, who reversed the godly reforms of his father, Hezekiah. Apostle Conliff details the gravity of his sins: Desecrating the Temple: Manasseh built heathen altars within the house of God.Human Sacrifice: He burned his own children as offerings, a practice Conliff warns still manifests today through demonic "sacrifices" in modern society.Provoking Divine Anger: By dealing with mediums and wizards, he provoked God to anger, eventually leading to his capture and affliction by the Assyrians.The sermon highlights King Josiah as the ultimate model of reformation. Despite being born into an "evil kingdom" of idolatry, Josiah chose to seek the "God of his forefather David" rather than following the wicked examples of his father and grandfather. Apostle Conliff identifies this as a "relationship" rather than a "ritual". At age 16, Josiah began a radical purge of Judah, physically destroying idols and "burning the bones" of idolatrous priests to cleanse the land. Apostle Conliff describes him as a "dread youth" who refused to let anyone embarrass or compromise his God. Building on the concept of divine authority from previous teachings, Apostle Conliff reminds the congregation that "God shares His glory with no one". To maintain this authority, believers must: Feed Themselves: She uses the "umbilical cord" analogy to explain that while a mother (the preacher) provides initial nutrients, a born-again believer must eventually get their "own supply of food" through personal Bible study.Reject Unholy Alliances: She warns against being "unequally yoked," noting that she cannot pronounce a divine blessing on what God has already called cursed.Practice Humility: She points to Manasseh’s restoration as proof that God responds to those who "humble themselves greatly," even after committing great mischief.The sermon concludes with a sober warning that "time is far spent". Apostle Allison implores the congregation to be "spiritually fit" and "on fire," moving away from a lukewarm existence. She challenges every "vessel" to fulfill their specific assignment, ensuring they are part of the "bride without spot or wrinkle" when the Lord returns. Rec. Date: October 17th, 2024
