    Identifying the Gaps

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff’s sermon, titled "Beware," serves as a sobering call to spiritual vigilance and total surrender. Building on the biblical narrative of Exodus 15, she examines the victory of Moses and the Israelites to illustrate that God is a "man of war" who fights for the faithful and cuts off the wicked. Apostle Conliff warns that believers must be vigilant across all spheres, spiritual, political, and financial, because Satan seeks "gaps" to exploit. She notes that if the enemy cannot touch one's finances, he will attack their health or mind; if he cannot reach the believer, he targets their children or incites conflict among relatives. She emphasizes that honesty is the prerequisite for deliverance, as God cannot help those who hide their struggles. A major focus of the message is cultivating a spiritual atmosphere where Satan has "nothing on you". Music as a Portal: Music is not neutral; it either invites God's presence or breeds an "evil presence". Conliff warns against "strange songs" and romantic secular music, noting they can trigger carnal impulses and lead to "unholy alliances" in the unmarried.God as the "Song": For true victory, God must become the believer's "song and salvation" 24/7, keeping the heart in tune with the "frequency of heaven".Referencing the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22, Apostle Conliff explains that while many are called, the "chosen" are those who wear the garment of righteousness. The Danger of Strongholds: She highlights that holding onto anger or refusing to forgive creates a "stronghold" that holds the believer hostage, often manifesting as physical sickness or spiritual distress during deliverance.Final Authority: The Bible is not a tool for debate but a manual for anchored living. Apostle Conliff asserts that Jesus is the "final authority," and personal transformation is the only metric that matters.The Apostle integrates current world events, including US tariffs on Caribbean nations and the decline of global business leaders, as signs that believers must "mind the business" of the nations. She reminds the congregation of her past prophecies regarding political upheaval and economic depression, urging them to seek divine preservation amidst global instability. The sermon reaches a climax with a study of Ezekiel 28, detailing the fall of Lucifer. Apostle Conliff points out that Lucifer was "perfect in beauty," "full of wisdom," and "anointed," yet God cast him out like lightning the moment iniquity was found. Reality Check: She warns that talent, tenure in church, or even the ability to cast out devils does not guarantee a place in heaven. If God did not spare the "seal of perfection," He will not tolerate a "secret life" or pride in a modern believer.The analysis concludes with a mandate for a "divine shift". Apostle Conliff implores the church to raise their worship to a level where Satan "gets a headache" and cannot remain. Her final prayer is for the anointing to break yokes, open doors, and cancel every "wrecking ball" of dysfunction, ensuring that the people of God stand victorious over all the powers of the enemy.

    Order and Acceptable Sacrifice

    In her 2024 New Year’s Eve "Crossover" service at Lighthouse Empowerment Sanctuary, Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a mandate for spiritual order and radical commitment. The sermon serves as a strategic guide for transitioning into 2025 with "steadfast faith" to reap "supernatural results". Drawing from the Book of Malachi, Apostle Conliff rebukes "disorderly behaviour" and the offering of "sick, lame, unacceptable" sacrifices. She expands the definition of an offering beyond financial tithing to include the believer’s entire life, which should be a "sweet smelling savor". She warns against insulting God with "crumpled" or "dirty" leftovers when one can afford more, asserting that a "divine rescue" or "supernatural encounter" is reserved for those who offer God their absolute best. The core scriptural focus is Galatians 5:1, where Apostle Conliff exhorts the congregation to "stand fast" in the freedom Christ provided. She warns that 2025 requires "anchored" faith rather than "shaky" doubt. To "cross over" effectively, believers must not be "entangled again" in the bondage or "yokes" of their past, specifically calling out "unholy alliances" and the "god of Mammon" (greed). Apostle Conliff emphasizes that "supernatural results" are not automatic; they require intentional preparation. She highlights fasting ("turning the pot down") as a spiritual necessity to gain strength and drive out stubborn demonic influences. Furthermore, she discusses the anointing as the "yoke-destroying power" of God. She uses David’s harp as a prime example of how natural gifts must be "tapped with the anointing" to effect true spiritual change and deliverance. Building on her consistent theme of divine authority, Apostle Conliff demands total integrity. She rebukes "playing church," asserting that believers are the church and must reflect Christ in all environments. This practical holiness includes: Financial Stewardship: Money is a "spiritual thing" that must be commanded to serve God’s purposes (paying loans, tithing, providing for family) rather than allowing money to lead the believer.Moral Purity: She forbids "secret lives" or "dark houses" (sinful lifestyles), insisting on purity in singleness and faithfulness in marriage.Interpersonal Love: She challenges members to "love one another" practically, moving beyond mere "duty" to genuine, Christ-like interaction with others.The sermon concludes with a prophetic declaration for 2025 as a year of "miracles, signs, and wonders". Apostle Conliff stresses that "crossing over" is an active process requiring both a natural and spiritual "move". She implores the church to "tune in to the frequency of heaven" rather than "jamming with the devil," ensuring they are "completely on par with the things of God" as they enter the new year. Leaving Disorder Behind: Transitioning from 2024 to 2025 requires leaving behind ungodly behaviors.The Quality of Offering: God requires the best of one's time, talent, and treasure.Steadfastness: Maintaining freedom in Christ and refusing to return to old bondages.Anointed Service: Using spiritual gifts (like music or media) under the power of the Holy Spirit to destroy yokes.Authority Over Mammon: Mastering one's finances so that Christ remains the leader.Rec.

    Faithfulness and Pride's Danger

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a prophetic call to spiritual readiness and total surrender as the congregation prepares for 2025. Building on the themes of divine authority and humility from our conversation history, she asserts that the "next move of God" requires a vessel that is "stashed away" to be filled with the Spirit so that all recognition goes to Christ rather than self. Apostle Conliff uses the life of Jesus to illustrate that preparation precedes manifestation. She notes that Jesus spent 30 years in preparation before his three-year ministry, emphasizing that believers must prioritize "filling up" on the inside before they can "pour out" to the world. True readiness involves a "childlike" desire to go deeper and an intentional decision to "make your calling and election sure". Central to the sermon is Philippians 1:21: "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain". Apostle Conliff challenges the congregation to adopt this level of radical commitment, where their happiness is not dictated by material lack, such as missing out on "Christmas curtains", but by their position in God. She reiterates that "self must take no glory," warning that the moment the gospel becomes about "me, myself, and I," it loses its healing and delivering power. The Apostle provides a detailed study of King Hezekiah to demonstrate how God responds to faithfulness and tears. The Divine Shift: When Isaiah brought a "bad report" that Hezekiah would die, the King’s prayer and record of "walking in truth" triggered a divine shift, granting him an additional 15 years.The Danger of Pride: However, Apostle Conliff warns that Hezekiah eventually "messed up" by pridefully exposing his treasures to the Babylonians. She cautions that believers must not "give your enemies ammunition" by exposing what God has given them in secret.Apostle Conliff delivers a stern rebuke of cultural compromise, particularly in fashion and behavior. She argues that a believer’s life and "lovely look" must be consistent in the marketplace and the sanctuary. She specifically addresses: Modesty: Warning against dressing in "skimpy" clothes that promote lust and distract from Christ.Forgiveness: She identifies unforgiveness as a "bitter" barrier that prevents healing and spiritual progress, noting that one cannot truly sing "one day with Yahweh" while harboring malice.As 2025 approaches, which she declares a "bumper year" of supernatural encounters, Apostle Conliff calls for "all hands on board". She explains that a leader’s readiness can be delayed if those working with them are "lazy" or uncommitted. Using the parable of the ten virgins, she warns that some believers are "partially ready" but lack the "oil" of the Holy Ghost necessary to enter when the bridegroom appears. The analysis concludes with a call to "occupy until He comes," balancing an awareness of Christ's return with the responsibility to lead successful, productive lives. Apostle Conliff implores the church to "lay down self" and every burden, ensuring they reflect the fruit of the Spirit and store up treasures in heaven rather than chasing worldly popularity. Rec.

    Pursue Spiritual Revelation

    Lighthouse Empowerment Sanctuary, Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a comprehensive discourse on spiritual identity, practical stewardship, and the necessity of revelation. Grounded in Ephesians 1, the message challenges believers to move from being "regular folks" to empowered students of the Word. Apostle Conliff emphasizes that a believer’s life must be anchored in the spirit of wisdom and revelation. She argues that understanding "who you are and whose you are" is vital; without a firm grasp of one’s identity in Christ, individuals are susceptible to the world’s definitions. This revelation is not automatic but requires a disciplined prayer life and continuous connection with God, as "the carnal man cannot understand the things of the spirit". A central theme is the necessity of process. Apostle Conliff compares spiritual growth to academic achievement, noting that just as one must study to attain a degree, a believer must be a "student of the word" to graduate into the blessings of heaven. She uses the testimony of a young man who overcame a broken home to earn a scholarship as a call for focus and prioritization among the youth. She rebukes the "mindset of distraction" and urges parents to ensure children are not perpetually tethered to electronic devices. Apostle Conliff provides a rigorous critique of complacency in one’s physical environment. She challenges the idea that a believer should remain in the same "10 x 10" room for years without improvement. Key points of her practical exhortation include: Managing Resources: She rebukes those who "lie" about not having enough, asserting that even pensioners can improve their surroundings with small, grateful investments like flowers or a tablecloth.Gratitude as a Catalyst: She teaches that being "grateful for little" is the prerequisite for divine expansion.Character and Home: How one cares for their home reflects their spiritual character; a disorganized or "shack-like" environment is inconsistent with honoring the King.Consistent with her teachings on divine authority, Apostle Conliff warns that believers immediately enter a "warfare of the spirits" upon joining the Kingdom. She insists that: The Flesh is Defeated: Worship must be in "spirit and in truth" because "fleshly worship" is ineffective and reminiscent of the fall of Adam.No Lukewarmness: She delivers a stern warning that Jesus will "spit out" those who are "part church and part devil".Purity in Relationships: She rebukes "unholy alliances" and "soul ties" with exes, urging believers to "resist the bait" of Satan, who seeks to "scale the Jesus out of you".Public Witness: The "unsaved" should not be "shocked" by a believer's behavior; rather, the church must "contend for the faith" by expressing the character of Christ in all settings.The sermon concludes with a call to radical abandonment of the world. Apostle Conliff highlights the example of Peter, whose shadow eventually healed the sick after he moved from betrayal to total consecration. She implores the congregation to resist the devil, take God seriously, and ensure their "soul finds rest in Jesus," as everything on earth, from degrees to houses, is temporary compared to one’s eternal home.

    Divine Rejection

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff provides a rigorous analysis of 1 Samuel 16, exploring the transition of divine favor from King Saul to David. Her message serves as a sobering warning on the consequences of disobedience and a guide to maintaining spiritual positioning through integrity and worship. The sermon centers on the "most miserable" state a person can experience: Divine Rejection. Apostle Conliff highlights that God rejected Saul from reigning over Israel because he "put Jesus out and brought flesh in," choosing compromise over obedience. She warns the congregation not to "play with the gifts and talents" given by God, asserting that one can still hold a position (like king or musician) while the Spirit of God has already departed. A major point of the analysis is the difference between human and divine evaluation. When Samuel went to Jesse’s house, he initially mistook Eliab for the anointed one because he was tall and handsome, similar to Saul. Apostle Conliff rebukes this "religious" mindset, stating that ministry must be based on spiritual evaluation rather than height, looks, or social status. She reminds the church that "man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart". Building on themes of divine authority from our conversation history, Apostle Conliff demands a lifestyle of total transparency. She declares, "You cannot have a secret life and a God life". For God to be glorified, He must be honored in the "bedroom, kitchen, and washroom" as much as in the sanctuary. This integrity is the only way to ensure the "oil of advancement" brings blessings rather than sorrow. The Apostle provides a detailed analysis of David’s harp, illustrating that music is a powerful spiritual tool that "impacts your space 100%". She explains that David’s playing was effective because of his anointing, not just his skill. Key insights include: Invoking Spirits: Secular music (like Whitney Houston) shifts a believer's vibe from spiritual to "carnal".The Power to Deliver: David’s music was so "cunning" and anointed that it could drive an evil spirit away and refresh a troubled king.Worship as Warfare: True worship provides a "soothing" or "warlike" confidence that allows a believer to connect deeply with God.Apostle Conliff addresses the failure of Samuel’s children to serve the Lord, noting that even "great" leaders must diligently train their children. She warns that "wrong influence" can destroy a lineage, urging parents to stand fully on the Word of God even when their children make poor choices. Consistent with her previous teachings on humility, Apostle Conliff emphasizes that she does not "own" her position at Lighthouse. She describes herself as a steward whose position can change at any time if she fails to do it right. She rebukes "petty believers" who seek kudos or get "vexed" when others are honored, calling for a "childlike" joy that celebrates when others shine. The sermon concludes with a call to "cut yourself loose 100%" from the past. Using the example of the early church burning their sorcery books, she implores the congregation to give up any "secret" or "unholy" associations, whether relationships, "strange music," or religious habits, to ensure they remain in right standing with the "Most High God".

    The Tragedy of the "Drifter"

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff provides an incisive analysis of Genesis 19, exploring the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to warn against spiritual "drifting," cultural compromise, and the necessity of maintaining a clear identity in Christ. A central theme is the character of Lot, whom Apostle Conliff describes as a "drifter" who chose to live in Sodom because it was "lush" and fertile, despite its sinful population. She argues that Lot’s environment eventually "veiled" his spiritual sight, noting that the name Lot means "veiled", which led to his irrational and "foolish" decision to offer his virgin daughters to a wicked mob. She uses this to warn believers that immersion in worldly culture can warp one’s judgment and lead to compromise that "disturbs" the Spirit. Building on themes of divine authority from our conversation history, Apostle Conliff rebukes the modern trend of having a "secret life." She specifically critiques those who use "pseudo names" or "block" spiritual leaders and parents on social media to hide "dirty" behavior. She asserts that while a believer can block a person, they cannot block Jesus, whose judgment is the ultimate "block". She urges the congregation to live a "standard" of holiness, citing Mary as a model of a teenager who lived a pure life without the distractions or "blocks" of modern technology. Apostle Conliff emphasizes the duty of parents to correct their children. She contrasts the failures of Eli and Samuel, whose children did not serve God properly because they were not disciplined, with the necessity of raising a generation that "glows" in the Lord. She warns that a lack of parental correction can lead to being "cut off" by God. Furthermore, she advocates for a balance between spiritual and academic pursuits, encouraging youth to attain their education while remaining humble enough to be taught the Gospel. The sermon highlights that Lot’s rescue was not due to his own merit, as he was "lingering" and "resisting" even as judgment approached, but because of Abraham’s intercession. Apostle Conliff teaches that God often remembers the prayers of a "connected relative" to save a wayward family member. However, she warns that God is true to His word: just as He waited for Lot to reach safety before raining "brimstone and fire," He will judge those who "disrespect and dishonor" Him today through unholy lifestyles. Apostle Conliff shares her personal history of overcoming extreme poverty and spiritual attacks, such as her mother’s temporary blindness and deafness, to emphasize that God receives all glory. She asserts that when a believer "can be trusted," God will bless them with "the best," moving them from being "poor" to a position of abundance where they can even bless others. The Apostle concludes with a sober reminder of the signs of the times, such as wars and world leaders "bickering" in public, indicating the imminent return of Christ. She implores the church to stop "playing church," "break the curse" of their lineage, and ensure they are ready for the "catching away," as the "son of man cometh as a thief in the night". Rec.

    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.
