    One-on-One

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff’s provides a piercing analysis of Numbers 22, exploring the encounter between Balaam and Balak to warn against greed, spiritual blindness, and the refusal to move in God’s direction. Apostle Conliff emphasizes that a believer’s victory is contingent on their relationship with God, whom she affectionately calls "Daddy". She argues that God will "wait until a spirit of humility hits you" before moving on your behalf. A core tenet of the message is that when you want God to move, you must first move in His direction rather than expecting Him to revolve around your unchanged life. Analyzing Balaam, Apostle Conliff identifies him as a sorcerer whom God used for a specific purpose, to prove that even the heathen cannot curse those whom God has blessed. She highlights that Balaam had the "best opportunity" to showcase God but was blinded by greed for money. She warns the congregation: "When your opportunity come... do not mess with it. For it may never return". A major point is that King Balak was terrified of the Israelites not because of their own strength, but because of the reputation of their God who "licked up" the Amorites and drowned Pharaoh. Apostle Conliff challenges believers: "Your enemies must know who your God is". She asserts that without a visible demonstration of God's faithfulness, a testimony of victory, the enemy will not back off. Building on her consistent themes of moral integrity, Apostle Conliff delivers a stern rebuke to the youth regarding social media and pornography. She calls for a "spiritual reset," urging young people to "push up your eyes" to pass exams and earn degrees rather than wasting hours on digital distractions. She declares that the body is the temple of God, and one must not bring "dirtiness" into it through fornication or "double-mindedness" (e.g., using charms or sorcery while serving Jesus). The Apostle explains that living only on "yesterday's grace" can lead to a downfall. She notes that God often speaks a "fresh word" to give new direction. In Numbers 22, God initially told Balaam not to go, but later told him to rise and go; Apostle Conliff warns that those stuck in "microwave life" (reheating yesterday's word) may miss the current order of heaven. The sermon reaches a climax in the irony of the donkey seeing the Angel of the Lord while the prophet, blinded by anger and "sorcery business," remained deaf and blind to danger. Apostle Conliff warns that "prophets could miss it" under the anointing if they are not sober and diligent. She implores intercessors and worshippers to remain "sober-minded" so they do not resist God’s setup for their blessing. The Apostle concludes by celebrating God as a "covenant-keeping God" who fights for those who are 100% committed. Her final call is for a "surrendered life" that prioritizes worship as a "love life," ensuring that "Satan has nothing on you" when the battles of life arise. Rec. Date: 19th June, 2025

    The Mandate of Radical Obedience

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff analyzes the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 17, exploring themes of divine selection, radical obedience, and the miraculous provision that follows a surrendered life. Apostle Conliff asserts that both Elijah and modern believers are "selected for greatness" based on their willingness to obey God's commands. She emphasizes that God is looking for individuals He can trust to stay committed even in seasons when others refuse to serve Him properly. True spiritual authority requires standing one’s ground before "kings" and false systems, such as King Ahab and the worshippers of Baal, without fear. A major focus of the sermon is a stern warning to those in leadership who attempt to operate on "Satan's payroll" while standing behind the pulpit. Apostle Conliff rebukes a "rape spirit," lust, and unholy habits among ministers, asserting that one cannot lay hands on others while living a filthy life. Citing the deaths of Ananias and Sapphira, she warns that God is not to be played with and will not tolerate those who lie on His name or steal from others. She calls for a "holy and set apart life," specifically urging the youth and the unmarried to find strength in Christ for abstinence rather than being "fast and curious". The Apostle details Elijah’s journey from public confrontation to hidden provision. She notes that God commanded ravens ("koobos") to sustain the prophet with "pure food" twice a day while he hid by the brook Cherith. This illustrates that when believers work with the "unstoppable" champion God, they become "untouchable," and even the most unlikely sources are commanded to sustain them. The analysis centers on the Widow of Zarephath, whom God "setup" to provide for Elijah. Apostle Conliff highlights the severity of the widow's test: being asked to make the prophet a cake "first" when she only had enough meal and oil for one final meal for herself and her son. The Apostle argues that "genuinity" and an anchored faith are required to obey such a seemingly "selfish" request. Because the widow honored the prophet's word and prioritized the man of God, her resources were miraculously multiplied until the famine ended. Apostle Conliff reminds the congregation that adversity is a part of the believer's life, intended not to kill but to provide a testimony for God’s glory. When the widow’s son died, it was a "calamity" that overwhelmed her, but it provided the opportunity for a demonstration of power. Elijah’s prayer for the child's soul to return was answered by a God who "hears the cry of his children," reviving the boy and proving that the Word of the Lord is truth. The sermon concludes with a call to serve God because of love, not for "kudos" or public recognition. Apostle Conliff shares her own personal struggles with tiredness and spiritual warfare, emphasizing that God is a healer and a restorer who lifts a standard when the enemy comes in with force. She implores the church to remain "heart-to-heart" with God so they can receive the revelation and wisdom needed to apply His Word in every aspect of life. Rec. Date: 12th June, 2025

    The Isolation Trap

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful discourse on spiritual resilience and the necessity of divine perspective. Grounded in Psalm 77, her message explores how to navigate personal "calamity" by shifting one's focus from current distress to the eternal character and past faithfulness of God. Apostle Conliff analyzes the "trouble" of Asaph, a worship leader who found himself in such deep distress that his soul "refused to be comforted" and he suffered from "insomnia" (eyes kept waking). She rebukes the common tendency to blame God for such situations, noting that believers often mistake tests of faith for divine abandonment. Citing Psalm 127:2, she asserts that God "giveth sweet sleep to his beloved," urging the congregation to "rebuke that spirit of not sleeping" and recognize that God is a "good God" despite the presence of a "real devil roaming the earth". A central pillar of the sermon is the concept of memory as a memorial. Apostle Conliff teaches that past faithfulness, honors given in the sanctuary, and prior prayers come before God as a "memorial" during a believer’s hour of weakness or calamity. She encourages the congregation to "recall the deeds of the Lord" and "the years of the right hand of the Most High" to reignite their praise. By meditating on the wonders God performed for their "ancestors", such as the parting of the Red Sea, believers can move beyond emotional drowning to spiritual restoration. Transformation occurs when the believer moves from private lamentation into the sanctuary. Apostle Conliff explains that while Asaph felt overwhelmed in isolation, entering the "house of the Lord" provided the fellowship, "warmth," and "fire" needed to see things differently. In the sanctuary, one gains the prophetic insight to realize that while the enemy may seem to triumph, God has actually set the wicked in "slippery places" leading to their ruin. Building on themes of divine authority from our conversation history, Apostle Conliff emphasizes that while humans become "fragile with time," the "Ancient of Days" is not aging or changing. She declares that God can be trusted "100%" because His nature as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" is to fight for His people. She notes that when the waters at the Red Sea and Jordan "saw" God, they were "afraid," illustrating that heaven is ready to back the words of those who live a committed life. Drawing from Matthew 14, the Apostle warns that focusing on the "boisterous wind" causes a believer to sink, just as Peter did when he took his eyes off Jesus. She defines the Christian walk as a "faith walk" that requires "feeding your faith daily" to prevent it from diminishing. She promises that when a believer cries out, Jesus "immediately" stretches forth His hand to deliver them from their drama and trauma. The sermon concludes with a prophetic prayer for the restoration of everything the "locust has eaten", including health, wealth, and peace of mind. Apostle Conliff issues a specific challenge to the youth to remain "clean" and avoid "foolishness" so they can be "vessels for Almighty God". She implores the church to find their "place of rest" in Yeshua, ensuring they are "grounded and settled" in His unfailing love. Apostle Conliff’s analysis reveals that worship is the antidote to despair. By refusing to let "trouble pull you out of your worship," and instead anchoring the soul in the sanctuary and the Word, the believer remains "unstoppable" regardless of the trials they face. Rec.

    Beware of Dogs

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a rigorous mandate for spiritual authenticity, demanding that believers move beyond "ABC Christianity" into a life of supernatural demonstration. Her message centers on the necessity of a "spiritual reset" through total surrender and the rejection of fleshly confidence. A central pillar of the teaching is the warning to "beware of dogs," which Apostle Conliff identifies as individuals possessed by wrong doctrines or evil influences intent on causing compromise. She emphasizes that salvation is not found in legalistic rituals, such as physical circumcision, but in a spiritual circumcision of the heart. Believers are urged to put no confidence in human effort or pedigree; Paul’s own prestigious background is presented as "dung" compared to the value of knowing Christ. Apostle Conliff uses vivid metaphors to address spiritual health, comparing the soul to a plumbing system. Just as a leak must be capped, believers must "cap" wrong influences and trauma until Jesus enters to fix them. She mandates a "flushing" of the system, clearing out sin, bad attitudes, and "unholy alliances" through prayer and the blood of Jesus. This practical integrity extends to: Modesty and Leadership: Leaders must dress to honor God rather than causing others to stumble, as "memories" of immodesty can shift a congregation's focus from the message to the flesh.Economic Stewardship: She rebukes the mismanagement of money and parental neglect of household standards, urging believers to save for emergencies rather than "eating everything" today.The Body as a Temple: Warnings are issued against vanity and wasting youth, noting that the body will "fail you" if used for "nonsense".The Apostle highlights that certain strongholds, including "marine spirits" and "desolation", can only be broken through dedicated prayer and fasting. She challenges the church to be "warriors" who take down the devil’s kingdom rather than "petty" followers who quit the church over minor squabbles. True ministry must be a "demonstration of power" rather than mere words, ensuring the Gospel is "full of the Holy Spirit". Drawing from her personal history, Apostle Conliff recounts "traumatic" pregnancies where she faced kidney damage and medical "time bombs". She uses her survival as evidence that God can conquer every "negative word" or "death sentence". This serves to encourage those in the "bed of affliction," asserting that God remains on the throne even when reports are "horrible". The Apostle emphasizes nurturing leadership, comparing her role to a "devoted mother" who cherishes her children. She also warns of the reality of the demonic realm, citing a sighting of a "witch" figure on the road to urge the congregation to remain "alert". She insists that demons actively target families, finances, and education, requiring believers to stay "in tune" with heaven. Apostle Conliff’s final call is to "keep the covenant" made with Jesus. Whether through academic excellence for students or moral purity for elders, the goal is to live a "supernatural life naturally," ensuring that one's character remains "grounded and settled" regardless of the "affliction" faced.

    Grounded & Settled

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff’s teachings emphasize the conditionality of divine favor, the necessity of spiritual stability, and the requirement for unwavering integrity in both private and public life. Drawing primarily from Colossians and Philippians, she challenges believers to move beyond superficial "ABC Christianity" into a deeply anchored relationship with Christ. A central theme is the conditionality of the Gospel; Apostle Conliff highlights that receiving the "perks and benefits from heaven" is predicated on continuing in the faith. Using Colossians 1:23, she argues that a believer must be "grounded and settled", meaning they are not easily shifted by contrary winds or temporary trials. She warns that "double-minded" individuals who live in Satan’s kingdom while seeking God’s blessings are "unstable" and will receive nothing from the Lord. Apostle Conliff delivers a rigorous critique of the modern "casual" approach to worship, demanding a high standard of reverence for the house of God. She draws a parallel between a courtroom and the sanctuary, noting that while people uphold secular protocols, they often disrespect God by "blowing bubbles," "chewing gum," or wearing "strappy dappy" attire. She insists on modesty, asserting that as representatives of the "King of Kings," believers should shine 100% in their presentation. Apostle Conliff rebukes the habit of downplaying miracles as "small" or "little things," stating that such language embarrasses God. She provides a personal model for financial stewardship, sharing how she invested in land while earning as little as $118 a week by prioritizing tithes and wise decisions. She teaches that God makes money multiply for the surrendered, and believers should master their finances so that "money will follow me; I am not going to follow money". Expanding on Philippians 3, Apostle Conliff warns the congregation to "beware of dogs", individuals possessed by wrong doctrine or evil influences. She argues that true "circumcision" is of the heart and spirit, not physical legalism. Believers must be vigilant against "evil workers" who encourage compromise, such as visiting pubs or embracing the "appearance of evil". The Apostle uses a vivid plumbing metaphor to describe spiritual health: Capping Leaks: Just as a plumber caps a leak, believers must "cap" wrong influences and "trauma" until Jesus can fix them.Flushing the System: If a spiritual system is "clogged" by bad attitudes or sin, it must be flushed using the name and blood of Jesus.Spiritual Constipation: She warns that holding onto "unclean things" affects the mind, body, and finances, requiring radical prayer and the Word to clear.The sermon highlights that "preparation precedes the blessing". Apostle Conliff emphasizes that God uses the "humble and surrendered" to do great things, noting that even the Apostle Paul considered his prestigious pedigree "dung" compared to knowing Christ. She concludes with a call to prophetic alertness, citing a personal encounter with a demonic manifestation as proof that Satan actively targets families and ministries. Conditionality: Benefits of the faith require "continuing" and staying "grounded".Integrity: Total rejection of "double lives" and "unholy alliances".Stewardship: Glorifying God in small financial beginnings and physical temple care.Vigilance: Being "sober" and alert to spiritual warfare and demonic interference.Rec.

    Legalism vs. Spiritualism

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a "sobering message" centered on Philippians 3, emphasizing spiritual vigilance, the rejection of legalism, and the necessity of a "spiritual reset" through total surrender. Building on themes from our conversation history regarding divine authority, she asserts that believers must move beyond being "ABC Christians" to those who truly know the Word and can withstand the "dogs" of wrong doctrine. Apostle Conliff analyzes Paul’s warning to "beware of dogs," which she defines as individuals possessed by wrong doctrine or evil workers intent on influencing believers to compromise. She critiques the "Judaisers" who insisted on physical circumcision, explaining that under grace, true circumcision is spiritual and of the heart. Salvation, she argues, is not a product of human effort but of a "heart of worship" and confidence in Christ alone. Reflecting on the Apostle Paul’s background as a Pharisee from the tribe of Benjamin, Apostle Conliff explains that while he had every natural reason to boast, he considered his pedigree and education as "dung" (gobbar) for the sake of Christ. She challenges the congregation to stop boasting in their youth or physical health, warning that these "will fail you" if you continue in "nonsense". Instead, true "riches" are found in the heart's relationship with God. In a vivid metaphor, Apostle Conliff compares spiritual life to a plumbing system. Just as a clogged pipe causes overflow, a "clogged" spiritual system, affected by bad attitudes, sin, or wrong influences, leads to failure. She mandates a spiritual "flushing" through: The Name and Blood of Jesus: To clear minds and spirits from uncleanness.Active Prayer and Fasting: Using the "frequency of heaven" to point out and cancel demons.Refusal to Compromise: Rebuking those who frequent "pubs," vape, or engage in "unholy alliances" because someone whispered it was okay.The Apostle provides a rigorous critique of how believers treat their bodies, which are the temple of God. She shares harrowing testimonies of young women losing breasts to cancer and the death of a 13-year-old girl to underscore that life is short and not to be trifled with. She specifically rebukes "vanity" and immodesty, urging the youth to serve Jesus while they are healthy. Regarding her own household, she maintains a strict standard of moral integrity, stating she cannot accept any partner for her children who does not serve Jesus. Drawing from her personal history, Apostle Conliff details her "traumatic" pregnancies where she faced extreme medical risks, including off-the-charts protein levels and kidney damage warnings. She credits her survival to God’s intervention, declaring she refused to die prematurely. This personal victory fuels her passion for the "bed of affliction," asserting that God can conquer every "negative word" or medical "time bomb". The sermon concludes with a chilling account of a demonic manifestation the Apostle and Pastor Chris witnessed at 12:28 AM near Chase Village. She describes seeing a figure in a black hood and "witch hat" that vanished into a man on a bicycle upon closer approach. She uses this to warn the church to be alert, as demons actively interfere with families, finances, and education. Apostle Conliff's final call is for radical focus. She implores the congregation to "cap" the wrong influences in their lives until Jesus fixes them. Whether in academic studies or the "love walk," the goal is to be a "surrendered" vessel that is "unstoppable" because they rely entirely on the Miracle Worker rather than the flesh. Rec.

    True Transformation of Character

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a comprehensive discourse on spiritual focus, the transformation of character, and the necessity of gratitude. Framed by the 2025 theme of "Supernatural Encounters with Divine Intervention through the Word," the message challenges believers to move beyond external "religious" masks to a life of deep, internal integrity. Apostle Conliff begins by asserting that a troubled heart hinders spiritual focus, preventing God from receiving glory. She uses a documentary on Nepal, where children joyfully navigate extreme poverty, to rebuke the spirit of ingratitude in the modern church. She warns against envying another person's house or car, noting that one never knows the "price they are paying" or if "the bank owns it all" while they lose sleep at night. A central pillar of the sermon is the character of the Apostle John. Apostle Conliff describes him as originally "reckless," "fierce," and "judgmental", a "Son of Thunder" who once wanted to call down fire on a Samaritan village. His transformation into the "loving apostle" serves as a model for the believer’s journey; as Christ is formed within, a "vicious" temper must be replaced by a character so intact that "Satan has nothing on you". Drawing from John 1:1, Apostle Conliff teaches that "God" is a title for the triune Elohim (Father, Word, and Spirit). She asserts that while many doctrines exist, redemption is found exclusively through Jesus Christ. She urges believers to "feed the spirit" with this Word daily, warning that a weak spirit is often the result of "only feeding your belly". Consistent with her previous teachings on divine authority, Apostle Conliff demands an end to "double standards." She rebukes "Christians" who dress modestly at the altar but wear "tank tops and minis" in public, asserting that God will judge the believer just as He judges the Apostle. Furthermore, she delivers a sobering warning against physical vanity, citing a woman who died in the Dominican Republic seeking a "tummy tuck". She implores the congregation to be "contented" with how God made them rather than pursuing surgery that leads to an early eternity. A major point of the analysis is that unforgiveness is a "weight" that prevents a believer from "soaring". She shares the powerful testimony of the Alexanders, where a wife’s genuine forgiveness allowed for the total restoration of a marriage once broken by adultery. Apostle Conliff emphasizes that the church must be a place of healing and restoration, not a culture of "remarriages" where the first spouse is still alive. The sermon highlights the resurrection power, noting that Jesus breathed the "eternal spirit" into His disciples just as God breathed life into Adam. She concludes by addressing "Doubting Thomas," rebuking those who will not serve God until they "see a definite something". She declares that the greatest blessing is reserved for those who believe without seeing, adhering to the Word's principles even when the physical manifestation is not yet visible. Apostle Conliff’s message is a call to be a "messenger" of the resurrection, much like Mary Magdalene was authorized by Jesus to carry the news to the brethren. She implores the church to "occupy until He comes," prioritizing education and academic excellence while remaining "holy and set apart" in every relationship and conversation. Rec.

    Though Contrary Winds Blow

    Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a powerful mandate for the year, centered on the theme of being "steadfast". Drawing from Galatians and Hebrews 12, she provides a spiritual roadmap for believers to remain immovable amidst the "contrary winds" of 2025. Apostle Conliff defines steadfastness as being deep-rooted and anchored in Christ. This spiritual posture is essential to weathering the storms of life, whether they be academic, financial, or health-related. She reminds the congregation that while trials and tribulations are a scriptural certainty, God remains a deliverer for those who live a consecrated and faithful life. A central rebuke in the sermon is against serving God merely to "get things". Apostle Conliff asserts that humans were created for God's pleasure, and true worship must be based on who God is rather than personal needs. She warns that when worship is misplaced or sought for oneself, as seen in the fall of Lucifer, it leads to destruction. Conversely, when a believer delights in the Word and focuses on their assignment, God provides for every need as a surplus. Referencing the "great cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12, Conliff calls for believers to "strip off and throw aside every unnecessary weight". This "cutting" involves several areas: Abandoning Vices: She specifically rebukes alcohol consumption, clubbing, and smoking, arguing that anything not "accelerating" one's walk with God is a hindrance.Eliminating Double Lives: She warns that a "double life" has a price to pay, asserting that one cannot be a saint on Sunday and a "devil" on Monday.Integrity in Leadership: She shares a testimony regarding a junior church teacher, noting that those who represent God's business cannot engage in worldly "clubbing" and expect to lead others by example.The Apostle delivers a stern warning to the youth to remain focused on academics (such as CSEC or Upper Six) rather than "infatuation" or "hormone testing". She highlights the tragedy of missing children in the nation and blames "wrong company". She urges young people to cultivate "dreams of edification" rather than carnal fantasies that interrupt spiritual growth. Apostle Conliff addresses current events, such as reports of a virus in China, to emphasize that "everything travels" - including Satan's tactics. She encourages the church to speak life and truth over their families rather than accepting negative news as final truth. She urges the congregation to be so "tuned in to the frequency of heaven" that hell cannot get a foothold in their language or habits. The analysis concludes with a simple but profound command: "Fix it". Whether it is gambling, "secret sins," or unholy associations, Apostle Conliff implores the church to surrender their all and admit when they are wrong to avoid spiritual suppression. Her message is a call to move beyond the "excitement" of a sermon and into a life of persistent endurance where God is the final authority. Rec. Date: 5th January, 2025
