Hey Morning Praisers, This is Pastor Anthony Mills and during a recent 22K (13.8 Mile) Ruck March I learned a lesson I’ll never forget. I had my ruck on my back, and while some others chose not to carry theirs, I made the decision to keep mine on. After a while, that weight began to take its toll. My pace slowed, my body grew tired, and before long, people started passing me. I felt myself falling behind. But then I looked up and noticed a man in front of me wearing the number 804. I decided to lock my eyes on him and mimic his footsteps. Step by step, stride by stride, I followed his rhythm. And something amazing happened...I began to gain momentum. Before I knew it, I was passing others and moving ahead, not because of my strength, but because I was following someone who was already ahead and steady in their stride. That experience spoke to me deeply. As believers, we all carry different weights: struggles, temptations, or regrets that sometimes slow us down. But just like I followed 804’s footsteps, we are called to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. When we align our steps with His, our journey becomes purposeful. The Word reminds us that *“the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord” (Psalm 37:23). Maybe you’ve found yourself out of step because of choices you’ve made, or maybe you’ve grown weary under the weight of your own ruck. Today, I want to encourage you to lift your eyes and fix them on Jesus. He came to prove that with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can live righteously, even under pressure. And to truly walk like Him, we must read the Word of God because it shows us how to walk spiritually in a way that reflects the character and heart of Jesus Christ. The Word is our map, the Spirit is our guide, and Jesus Christ is our example. This march reminded me that success in this Christian walk isn’t about speed—it’s about direction. It’s about staying in stride with Christ. Because this isn’t just a Ruck…It’s spiritual training ground. 📍Join me every Sunday at 8:15 AM for Morning Praise: Power in the Word on YouTube at Anointed Vessels Music Group. #RuckTalk #FollowHisSteps #FaithWalk #SpiritualTrainingGround #KeepInStepWithChrist #MorningPraisers #WordOfGod #FaithInAction

📖 Join us on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 8:15 AM for MORNING PRAISE: POWER IN THE WORD as Pastor Anthony Mills continues our series, “A LIVING HOPE IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS.” This week’s focus is on 2 Peter 2:1–3, where Peter warns that just as false prophets rose among the people in the past, false teachers will arise among us today. They secretly spread destructive teachings and even deny the Lord who bought them, leading many astray. Pastor Mills will remind us to stay watchful and rooted in God’s Word so that we are not deceived by smooth words or false promises. Even as greed and corruption increase, we are called to remain faithful, knowing that God’s truth always prevails. Don’t miss this timely word of warning and encouragement to stand firm in Christ. #MorningPraise #PowerInTheWord #2Peter2 #LivingHope #HopeInChaos #StandFirmInTruth #GuardYourFaith #GodsWordIsTruth

Hey Morning Praisers, This is Pastor Anthony Mills, and today’s Ruck Talk takes us into Genesis 25. Esau came in from the field, exhausted and hungry, and saw Jacob cooking stew. In that moment of weakness, he agreed to give up his birthright; the special blessing and position that came with being the firstborn in exchange for a simple bowl of stew. And when Jacob asked for it, Esau placed no value on that birthright, saying, “What good is it to me?” Here’s the danger: Esau treated something eternal as if it were disposable. Later on, when he realized what he had lost, he wept and regretted his decision, but it was too late to take it back. As believers, we have to be careful not to treat our salvation the same way. Through Christ, we’ve been adopted into God’s family and given a priceless gift. Yet if we live carelessly, treating God’s grace as common and disregarding the holiness He’s called us to, we displease Him. Spiritual Salvation itself cannot be lost, but the joy of overcoming, and the rewards received by living a righteous life resulting in the salvation of our souls can slip through our hands if we don’t take our walk seriously. And just like Esau, there will be remorse when we realize what’s been forfeited. But unlike Esau, we don’t have to live with regret. We can choose now to value what God has entrusted to us. The enemy would love to steal the joy of your salvation. We face three constant opponents: the world, the flesh, and satan. Each of them is fighting to get us to cheapen what God has given. That’s why we must take our walk with Christ seriously and guard the gift of our salvation with all diligence. Don’t sell your birthright for a bowl of stew. What God has given you is worth more than anything this world can offer. Because this isn’t just a Ruck…It’s spiritual training ground. 📍Join me every Sunday at 8:15 AM for Morning Praise: Power in the Word on YouTube at Anointed Vessels Music Group. #RuckTalk #Genesis25 #ValueYourSalvation #DontSellYourBirthright #FaithWalk #MorningPraisers #SpiritualTrainingGround

📖 Join us on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 8:15 AM for MORNING PRAISE: POWER IN THE WORD as Pastor Anthony Mills concludes our journey through the book of Jude, beginning at verse 17. In these closing verses, Jude reminds us to hold fast to the truth, strengthen our faith through prayer in the Holy Spirit, and remain rooted in God’s love. We are also challenged to extend mercy and compassion to others; lifting them up rather than tearing them down with ridicule or criticism. Yet this mercy is not a license to excuse or condone sin; instead, it reflects the heart of Christ, who calls us to lovingly guide others back to truth. Pastor Mills will close with the powerful reminder that God alone is able to keep us from falling and present us faultless before His glorious presence with exceeding joy. Don’t miss this powerful word of hope and correction for the church today! #MorningPraise #PowerInTheWord #BookOfJude #LivingHope #HopeInChaos #ShowMercy #LoveInTruth #StandFirmInFaith #GodIsAble

Hey Morning Praisers, This is Pastor Anthony Mills, and I want to take a moment during my walk to share a word from Genesis 24. In this passage, Abraham sent his servant to find a bride for his son Isaac. We see a picture here: Abraham as the Father, Isaac as a type of Christ, the servant as a type of the Holy Spirit, and Rebekah as the one being called to respond. When Rebekah was invited to leave, her mother and brother tried to hold her back for ten more days. But when asked directly, she responded without hesitation: “I will go.” That “yes” wasn’t just about a journey; it was about stepping into a covenant relationship. Now, I want to encourage those of you who are already in Christ: continue to say yes to God’s will and God’s way. Don’t let hesitation or distractions rob you of what He’s calling you to. Keep trusting, keep following, keep running your race with endurance. But the greater emphasis of this passage is on what it represents spiritually: the initial acceptance of salvation. Just like Rebekah had to personally accept the invitation despite outside opposition, you and I must personally accept the invitation of Jesus Christ. Salvation cannot be given to you by your parents, your spouse, or your church family. It is a decision only you can make. That “yes” positions you to be a part of the body of Christ; the universal church. That “yes” puts you in the race toward the salvation of your soul. That “yes” makes those who run the race victoriously become overcomers and part of the bride of Christ. So today, hear this: the Spirit is still calling. Will you say, without hesitation, “I will go”? Because this isn’t just a RUCK…It’s a SPIRITUAL training ground. 📍 Join me every Sunday at 8:15 AM for Morning Praise: Power in the Word on YouTube at Anointed Vessels Music Group.

📖 Join us on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at 8:15 AM for MORNING PRAISE: POWER IN THE WORD as Pastor Anthony Mills continues the series, “A LIVING HOPE IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS.” This week, the focus shifts to the book of Jude, which parallels 2 Peter 2 in its strong warning against false teachers. Both passages sound the alarm about false teachers who distort God’s truth and lead others astray. Pastor Mills will remind us of Jude’s urgent call to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints, remain rooted in God’s Word, walk faithfully with Christ in the midst of deception, and to be on guard against those who twist God’s grace into a license for sin. Though the world is filled with confusion and compromise, we can stand strong, knowing that God is able to keep us from falling and present us faultless before His presence with great joy. This message calls us to remain anchored in Christ and vigilant in Truth. #MorningPraise #PowerInTheWord #Jude #2Peter2 #LivingHope #ContendForTheFaith #HopeInChaos #StandFirmInChrist #GodsTruth
