Brian Guerin

Brian Guerin (birth year unknown–present). Brian Guerin is an American pastor, author, and founder of Bridal Glory International and Ascend Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Raised in a non-religious home, he became a Christian in college after a profound spiritual experience he described as a divine encounter with a falcon, which ignited his pursuit of intimacy with God. Guerin serves as the senior leader of Ascend Church, where his preaching emphasizes a deep relationship with Jesus, the power of God’s presence, and preparing believers for Christ’s return. He founded Ascend Academy, a ministry school, and travels globally, speaking at conferences and on platforms like TBN and GOD-TV, often highlighting signs, wonders, and prophetic insights. His books, including God of Wonders: Experiencing God’s Voice Through Signs, Wonders, and Miracles, To Know Him: Discovering Experiential Intimacy with God, The Altar: Preparing for the Return of Jesus Christ, and Divine Encounter, focus on spiritual growth and encountering God. Known for sermons like “Mary’s at His Feet” and “The Secret Place,” he encourages distraction-free prayer and devotion, drawing from Scriptures like Luke 10:41–42 and Matthew 6:6. Guerin’s ministry seeks to draw the Church into closeness with Christ, which he calls the “highest prize in life.” He said, “Your heart can burn, and you still not know Him.”

Sermon Transcription
You may be seated or we can transition however. Thank you, Jesus. Wow. So happy Father's Day, everyone. Well, fathers, but you know, everyone. Yeah, give it up for the fathers. So, so good. So grateful. How many of you know we need fathers now more than ever? Both spiritually and physically. I heard a statistic recently that was really wild, I think. It's at an all-time low across culture, fathers. And just so, so good what the Lord's doing. Malachi, you know, says he's turning the hearts of the sons back to the fathers, and the fathers to the sons. And I think he's doing that. And I was actually reminded of a dream I had with Ryan. I never shared that it was Ryan, but it was years ago. Amazing. Man, are you guys engaged yet, or what's going on here? Is this girlfriend about to be okay? Sorry to put you on the spot, but man, y'all are awesome. Y'all need to be like a Holy Ghost, a GQ magazine or something. The most beautiful couple ever. But so good to see you again. Anyway, so years ago, though, I went into this dream that was really powerful. And it was me and Ryan. I've known him for years. Super hungry, man, I've got him. And I knew it was a spiritual father-son thing. I don't go around like trying to, but there's place for it, you know. And so anyway, Ryan catches this ginormous fish, almost like a dinosaur-looking thing. Huge. Which speaks of, I believe, the beginning of the last day of harvest. And I was surprised he got it in. But I was right there, and I knew if he wasn't careful, it would get off and he would lose it. How many of you like to fish in here? Yes, Lord. I pray for those that don't. You're missing God for sure. I mean, Jesus picked fishermen to follow him. I'm teasing. That's my biblical foundation for it. But anyway, so I told him, I said, I said, man, you need to hurry up. And this is prophetic symbolism in dreams. Many of you know how it works. I said, you need to hurry up and take a picture of that before you lose it. It came out of the dream. And I knew that the photo being taken would, you know, how many of you know once you have a memory, it's great, but if you have a picture of it, you have it forever. It solidifies something. So this symbol in this dream was meaning to not only catch it, but solidify the harvest and what the Lord's trying to do, because it could get away. And I believe the Lord is using fathers and sons and spiritual mothers, all of it. But this younger generation is going to capture this massive harvest, but they need to cooperate and run with the fathers because the fathers have the wisdom on how to keep it. And there's going to be this Rodney. What's up, man? How are you? How many of you are from out of state? Raise your hand that are just a guest. Okay. Yeah. Hands all up in here, man. I've been missing this. Yes. Welcome to my man. Rodney. Is it Virginia? Yeah. Hungry man. Listen, every time just about. I see him. He's on his face in the carpet for hours in the presence. You're glad to have you, man. But welcome guest. I've been hearing every week. There's new people coming in from all over. So honored to have you. You come join us. I forget to on details like this. But anyway, in this last hour, it's really key that we cooperate. Fathers and sons, mothers and daughters and all of it. And so that's really powerful. Okay. A couple of quick announcements. Oh, yeah. We have something for the fathers. I didn't get the pocket knives approved, but we stood through. So something probably better. But, um, but in the four year gift for you or, you know, if you'd like to share with the family. However, I know we gave the mothers roses, but just super grateful for you guys. I want to bless you, man. I love that. The Lord. Look, if you can hear me or somebody, please let us know. I want, I want bonafide results back from doctors. He obliterates cancer. He reveals to heal. And it's a good thing. So what announcements do I have? School. Yep. Join us this fall. Yes, Lord. Around. It's almost 400 students from around 22 countries of the world. Just flat out. Jesus infatuated folks. And look, I would encourage you if you're feeling a tug from the Lord to go deeper into his word in his presence with a community that are just all in. We'd love to have you love to have you can join in person here at the campus. We're together all week online or both. And I think that's it. Yep. Glory nights coming up. Yeah. Yeah. Vision. Vision. Vision breakfast. Oh, no, it's not. The baptisms are full already. So, um, but our breakfast that morning going to be amazing. Oh, which I'll touch on that probably a little bit. And then glory nights, uh, register before that fills out because we typically have to cut those off in here, which is, uh, I want to touch on real quick. Super grateful for you guys. Many of you know that have been following us. Um, we for right out about a half a million can finish out that next building. It's another 11,000 square foot building back here. This is 11,000 square square foot. So is that one? It's a bigger shell to to host more bigger conferences. And as we grow, as you can see in the church, maybe shift over there. And, um, and that's even conservative. You know, everything's scalable. You can get a Ferrari or a Toyota Camry or, you know what I'm saying? And, uh, we love the excellence of the Ferrari, but the, the stewardship of the kingdom and the crank Camry. So, you know, we, we got to find that middle. Yeah. Just keep changing the oil. And so you got to hear the Lord, you know, find that happy medium. So we're, we're kind of, that's a Camry number. And as the Lord provides, you know, we'll work our way up there anyway. Uh, but if you feel led, you know, we so greatly appreciate our last vision breakfast. Um, you all were so, so generous and, and I think looking August, there's getting more quotes now because it's our off month through the academy. Uh, we're hopefully hoping to start putting boots on the ground over there as far as getting things done and finishing and building out all of the, um, finishing work there to be able to function in that building. So that would be such a great blessing. I'll take up a title and offering this morning too. Should you feel led in any way to so and give it means so much your generosity with what the Lord's doing and, um, just want to pray and then we'll jump in. Super excited about this morning. So many of you should have, uh, offering envelopes, ways to give. You can make checks payable to ascend the church, um, scan the QR code. A lot of people text to give or by mail. Uh, we're just super grateful. However, the Lord will lead you and, uh, and that'll be good. So I'd love to pray and then we'll jump in. God, I thank you so much for your presence. Jesus, thank you, Lord, for your word. I pray the blessing of God that the, um, heavens would open over this house. There would be such a favor upon each and every one as we walk in generosity and everybody online across the world, our extended family online. Bless them. I pray, Lord, that the favor of God increase in all things. Everything you put your hand to may be blessed in Jesus name. Amen. Um, you may come with baskets at the front. If you want to give, um, if you can let each other out of the aisles and you can go ahead and come up front and then, um, you text to give us a QR code or, um, online. And we'll jump in. Joshua, what's up, buddy? Hair looking smooth. Okay. Ronnie, you drove. Nice, man. Oh, come on. So good. You're looking good, man. Always got glory on you. Man, I love me some Jesus. I can feel his presence. That's all. There's like no thing else you need. Never, ever. So, um. Man. Yeah. I want to talk to you all this morning. We'll see where it will go. Should be fun. I honestly think I'll end up just sharing a bunch of stories, stir hunger and, uh, but it's been stirring a fresh in me on the glory of God. Houses of glory. Don't know that we have official title yet for it. Manifestations of God. So, um, little touchy, just to be honest with you. I don't know if you guys have noticed yet. We're probably doing everything totally backwards of how you're supposed to start a church. So, uh, you know, wouldn't follow our rule book by any means, but, um, but just really love everything. Bible, Jesus, the word. I love the Lord when he's on the side of the mountain with the beatitudes. Blessed are you if you're persecuted. My name's sick and the kingdom and blessed to the poor. So you have that side of the Lord and then he gets up teaching mode. I love the word sitting at his feet like Mary and hearing the word. And so some weeks it may feel like that, but then he gets up, goes to the base of the mountain. He's casting out devils, healing the sick. One moment he's multiplying food and there's a supernatural flow of the spirit. Some mornings are that way winning the loss. And sometimes it's like a river. I love the severity of God, the conviction, the discipline of the Lord. The fear of the Lord produces righteousness and purity. The joy, the Holy ghost rollercoaster glory. You know, we love it all. There's just where I'm getting at is you start to really look throughout the word and look at God and he's like a diamond. I've said this many times, but depending on how you hit the light from what angle is a different hue. Every, every angle and, and God's so full and I just love all of him. The old Testament, the new, the Psalms, the Proverbs, and so just want to follow him and from week to week and you know, we'll teach last week was faithfulness. Started it off with the washing of feet, Jesus and the gospels and just the word. And so I love it all. Um, but I've been feeling a fresh stirring. I just don't know any other way to put it on the, the glory of God in the context of full out manifestations of him. And we've seen it for years. Uh, not a popular topic if I'm honest, especially, especially amongst the religious, but I don't really care. Um, and I'm, I'm more after what he wants and I can feel it. I can sense it. It's hard to explain for years. I've not talked as much as maybe years prior, but just didn't feel it really a drawing. So, you know, you know, sometimes the Lord's into things, certain seasons, breathing on things and not so much others. And I can feel it coming up again. And, um, and so just want to touch on it this morning and make sure we know as a house that we welcome God, however he wants to come. I'm really into that because if you're not careful, you can box God in and cage him in. And I never want to be that house, whether some things about him are popular or get more ridiculed or whatever it is. I want to be okay with that and please him. And I want him to know which is truth. I love everything about him. However he wants to show up whenever, whatever it looks like. Cause you, you know, if you start really looking through the word, you can never figure him out. Never box him in. He's the God of all creation. And, um, they still haven't even figured out like the depths of the sea and creatures all over the earth and in the depths of the sea and just things that he's done. The universe is just endless. We're still figuring everything out. Um, so, but I've been feeling this fresh stirring of the, the manifestations, the glory of God as far as experiential appearing tangible. And this is something he does. I don't know why, but he does. And that's beautiful. It's tokens and signs of God. It comes through signs and wonders and it's his glory as well. His voice is in it. He speaks. And I know it's going to increase number one in the last day in the last hour. But also I think for companies that will allow him to move in this way, he will. And these things is where it'll start to divide. Also, whether you really love and know God or not, or it'll start to expose things. So, you know, um, I was telling my children about this. You go down the road of healings, miracles, salvation, even baptism of the Holy Spirit. Normally you're good. Nowaday across the board. I mean, don't get me wrong. There's certain denominations. You can't even go down healings and miracles, cessationist, things like this. But typically you're good. Now there was fathers before that broke all this open to make it easy. Now Smith Wigglesworth got arrested time and time again for healing the sick. A lot of people don't know this. He would get arrested for practicing medicine without a license. And he was just healing the sick, just preaching the Bible. And he'd get locked up. And, um, so the persecution that generations past, the fathers had to break open in the supernatural. But I would say some of these things I'm going to touch on. Um, you know, there's still touching. You can feel it. And also out of honor of houses and where I preach to travel all over. I'll on purpose dial back because you, you know, you want, you don't want to start just throwing pearls out. Number one, number two, you want to compliment strength in a house and something to, uh, that a lot of people don't know is typically you can feel. When you minister in somebody else's trench, they dug out by God. You can feel it. It's a very key point to know. You can come in houses where they don't honor healing. It's very hard to heal the sick. You can come in houses where signs and wonders are honored and they flow like a river. You can come where they don't honor him and it's, it's dialed back. And you say, well, if God's God, he can do it. He will, but also he flows through men and their yieldedness. The Bible says Jesus didn't, it could, could not do that many mighty miracles in his own hometown because of the lack of faith. The son of God, you don't think he could have healed the sick. He could have, but he could tell the yielderness of man. And I don't want to be that house. And so you'll sense it. I can, I remember I was in, um, Judah was with me on this one. Some of you guys may remember, um, Texas somewhere, some, some city way down by the Mexican border. Look, man, some of you heard this before. When you pass a, a dairy queen and they have a number one meal, there's a taco meal, dairy queen, you know, you're near Mexico. Oh, we were way down there. Judah goes, does dairy queen sell tacos? I said they do now. Man, that's when you know you're getting down there. So we're somewhere way down there. Uh, Baptist church pastors, a man of God. They're amazing. Um, he actually, he told me a story. Sorry, I'm pacing. I just feel the glory that I do that. But I'm still, I'm tracking them with you. This pastor, he, uh, he was in his office Baptist pre Holy ghost. And, uh, he, uh, he began to see things online. And he saw some clips on Todd White. Actually, he told him this. He was like, no way. Dreadlocks drug addict. No, but he's something that was so hungry. He kept watching. And then he, and he, Oh yeah, he, he has pictures too. He was all, um, he got in some accident or something was all thrown off. His body was all crooked spine, everything messed up. Still a pastor faithful in his office. Such faith came on. He began to watch Todd White videos, Baptist. He goes, nah, man, if God can do it for that guy, he'll do it for me. So he backed up from his office table, laid hands on himself. He says, God, if you be healed and all of a sudden pop up, he lines back up. He's totally healed. Yeah. And, uh, so it's, it, it opened up this thing and they honor healing big time. Now there is still Baptist precious church at the end. They, um, all circle the sanctuary cause it's a smaller, um, church, precious family. And, uh, they circle it. Were you with me? No, Judah. Yeah, Judah, the taco. Uh, and, and they saw hold hands and sing like a hymn together to the Lord. It's beautiful, real family. And, uh, but let me tell you one of the most easy houses offload and miracles. Cause he hammers it. Now he, the pastor experienced it. It's so real to me. Hammers, healings, and miracles. And I mean, everything you touch or breathe was, it was just popping, healing and flowing and miracles. And so it's just, it's a key thing to watch. A lot of people think of God's sovereign. He's going to do whatever, but he'll for sure dial it back. If you want to honor and revere it, that side to him. And there's this beautiful side to God. He's so mysterious. First Corinthians four one says we are to regard ourselves as servants of Christ, but also stewards of the mysteries of God. Even tongues given by the spirit. The Bible refers to as a mystery. Some things you just don't know why. And things I'm going to share this morning, I don't know how far I'll get. Um, they're just mysterious and I love it. It's God. And I'll tell you this human, just raw human nature desires these things because he created, created us in his image. And the problem is, is when the religious spirit comes in, it warps it and it caps things off to not allow God to speak and move how he wants to. And get, get glory. Um, but what's beautiful when he does flow in these ways is he speaks to his people. It's confirming things. The lost is surprised and all this. We want to talk to you briefly about manifestations of God. God's glory. We've already had them appearing here. A lot, a lot of people don't. A lot of people know some people may not. And not that we're going to sit here and camp out and make doctrines by any means. We major on the majors, minor on the minors. But also when he starts moving, cause it's going to happen. I promise you the last days is going to increase. Uh, it is going to increase and then it's become so visible and real to houses that will honor it. Um, and it's just him and I love it and want it all. So I hope you guys hear my heart and that, but I can feel it again, stirring lately. And, uh, I think it's going to be individuals where people are hunger and some, not so much. The Lord will just catch you by surprise. You know, one of my dear friends, uh, I won't say his name cause I didn't get his approval, but on this topic, but he says, uh, I love, he says signs and wonders are super strange until they start happening to you. And it's true. You want to sit religious out there and on the other side of the fence, but when they start, I'm talking about the true ones now, not made up sketchy things. I'm talking about authentic things that God does. There's no way you can fake it. And we just seen way too much now. And do I have a verse for everyone? No. But also, uh, you know, I'm gonna get ahead of myself. So anyway, uh, real quick, the glory of God that I'm talking about, cause there's many different uses of the words throughout scripture, glory unto his name that he get honor and praise. There's that as well, which is the peak of all things, of course, knowing him. But what I'm talking about in scripture is where you see the glory manifest. Often it would appear as a cloud in the old Testament. And what it is is when God's presence becomes manifest experiential, tangible, and seen to the natural eye. Do we need it to follow him? By no means. Again, I'm, I'm word, word, word. We walk by faith, not by sight, but there's a company. They so know him to be real and so believe that he starts appearing as well, meaning you don't need it to see it. There's a religious side, like the Pharisees that say, show me a sign and I'll believe. And when it's that spirit, God will never move in signs and wonders. He won't purpose shut them off. But if you're like Gideon and you do believe you just want things to confirm, he'll gladly, you know, show you wonders with the fleece and things like this. And so, um, but the glory I'm talking about, it's manifest appearing and he loves to show in this way himself in various ways and has done it for years. I stumbled into a lot of it by accident when I locked up for about a little over a year and a half. Many of you have heard my story. Just a season. The Lord pulled me into, I was really hungry and went after him. And I would say the first six months I was digging in. Things were increasing by visions, dreams, etc. But the latter part, heaven came and look, everybody says your kingdom come. We know all the verses, but when his kingdom really comes on earth, it gets interesting. Really? It really does, because you're asking for not only his rule and reign in the spirit, but whenever the king comes, his kingdom, the operation comes. And things can get very unique and interesting. And I love it. He knows I do. And most of our, I know our people in our house does, but it just gets, it gets touchy with the religious because they start, you know, whatever. Um, but his, his manifest tangible glory. So I was locked up sometime and I started just things started happening that clearly tie back. And I, in prayer, thinking about this, um, brought some to my remembrance, more, some benchmark stories. I mean, if you probably heard some of these, but just along the way where I learned a lot, they're constantly happening. Um, and it's awesome. And he's going to increase. But I say we, we might want to open up our heart to what all the Lord wants to do. Obviously always found it in the word, never in contradiction, but he's going to start to increase. I touched on it in Joel two. I'll come down here. I feel like I'm far away from you guys. And, uh, uh, Joel two, I don't know. Oh, on Pentecost, on Pentecost. And you know, it says in the last days, port, my spirit, Paul, flesh, sons and daughters prophesy old men, dream dreams. Young men see visions, then wonders in the heavens, signs in the earth. Well, that word right there, signs is tokens. It's appearances, things that God does by signs and wonders in the earth heavens as well. Well, I believe just as that, uh, progression in Joel increases in these last days leading under the Lord's return. We're going to see that exact progression outpouring on all flesh. We know it started in acts two, but it's never increasing. I believe, uh, dreams, visions, the revelatory realm really amping up. Then that signs and wonders aspect is going to increase. And, uh, just to let you know, often when I start talking about these types of things, they start to happen. So, so, um, I say, welcome it again. If you're open, that's okay. If not, um, that's okay. But I just don't want to ever get to heaven one day. The Lord be like, man, why didn't you like that side to me? That's me. That's what I do. It's like somebody, their favorite cologne. That's what they wear. And you're like, yeah, I like the other ones. I don't, I want all of his colognes. Move in fire, conviction, power, super loving kindness, mercy, uh, favor, discipline, love the straight gate. Love that narrow path that leads to life highway of holiness. But also there's this wild side to him. You know, the one that chose his nearest company to be a four headed creature. Just saying there's a side to God's very Narnia ish. And, uh, it's just in the word. So not trying to get all, I'm just trying to get Bible and, and who are we to define how we think he's supposed to be? We need to renew our minds. And so you start getting near the throne. You're like, man, the, the God of all creation, his nearest company. I started the lamb when he shows up is creatures. And by the way, if you look closely in revelation four, it says like the face of a lion, like the face of a flying. John's trying to find stuff to relate to. It's not even a lion. It's like that. I don't know. He goes, there was four living creatures, four heads. They turn and look at you this way. That's the face of a man. This was a lion Eagle in flight ox. And all of them were like six wings each. And then they open their wings and their wings are full of eyes. Revelation peels of thunder and lightning coming from the throne. Crystal sea, seven flames burning. And it's like, well, slow down, brother. You're getting off into that. I'm just getting into the word. Just really love the word. Really love his nature and things he's into. I don't want to be into what I'm normally into. I want to shift over to his gear. And he goes out of his way to talk about these things. Golden streets, 12 gates made out of a single pearl. Foundational stones. And he'd go in order, exact stone, every stone. There's a side to God. He loves mystery. He's very creative, very detailed, calculated. And he just does it. So I've seen this with wonders for years where it's just part of him. And if we'll let him in, that veil will remove and he comes into this world. His kingdom comes. And not always is it this way, but often it is. So sometimes it looks like intimacy, weeping, joy, which is the kingdom. The fear of the Lord, conviction, cut to the heart, repentance. Sometimes it looks like manifestations of him. And what I've learned with him, he doesn't often just do this to wow us, although it does because it's supernatural. He's speaking in it very mysteriously. It's just wild. He speaks and confirms, and it's pretty awesome. So I think in this last hour, these signs and wonders are going to increase. And even watch the progression that I had touched on with you all. Blood, fire, and smoke. Another very interesting thing to note with the glory is all Old Testament pre-Holy Spirit, you get around glory and it's cloud. Everything post-Holy Spirit is smoke. Those are very different, actually. Look in Scripture. A cloud is particles of moisture that come from above. Smoke is particles of substance that come from the earth and go up. So it's not to get too heavy into this, but pre-Holy Spirit, it's almost like even glory would manifest before the Holy Spirit hit the earth from the vertical dissension of moisture particles, even as a cloud. But Isaiah 4 prophesies past. What I can tell, the Holy Spirit coming, Joel prophesies past. Remember? He says the Spirit of the Lord will be poured out upon all flesh. And he says pillars of smoke. Revelation 15 says smoke filled the temple with the glory. Old Testament talks about a cloud. So there are different substances that appear similar, but I believe once the Holy Spirit hits the earth, it's like a burning, a purifying, but also manifestation of his glory from the earth up. And so the increase of this will appear at times in certain ways, and I think even like you saw with Seymour, they said it looked like a cloud, vapor, mist, and his manifestations are going to increase, and if we're not welcoming to him, he will leave or you will. I remember, um, an account of this pastor, amazing pastor, honor him to no end. Uh, he was in the pulpit. All of a sudden this, this gold started up here, glittery type substance, and that's where it starts getting uneasy for people. But listen, man, I don't have anything to do with this stuff. I just love Jesus. And as these things happen, and I'm going to tell you pointed stories, I do these on purpose, although we've seen continual things. Um, but he was preaching and it started just this mist, almost like a cloud. It's interesting to, if we're not careful, if you get too literal with the word, sometimes you can miss the spiritual side to it. So, um, again, not trying to say I haven't figured out a lot of these things. I wouldn't say you have explicit scriptures for, but another thing I want to point out is to, to say that everything God does has to be found in scripture. And please hear me. Everything that God ever does or will do has to be found in the word is actually unbiblical. I know that gets in my people like damn stone him, you know, but, but it really is true because there's things that are extra biblical meaning outside of, but they're not, they're not unbiblical. Some things are extra biblical and they're very unbiblical, but some of the good examples are at the end of the gospel of John, I think John chapter 21, it says all, if all the things Jesus Christ did, the fall of Sam of God were recorded in a book, all the books in the world couldn't contain it. So for you to say, if it's not in the word, it's not God. You're saying everything Jesus did that wasn't recorded in the Bible was not God. It's actually an unbiblical. It's not a renewed mind thinking. Paul said, I know a man. Remember he acted humble. I know there's a man got caught up one day. He's like, might've been me made that. I mean, you know, winking and teasing, but he got caught up third heaven. And he said, I saw things there. I can't utter here. I can't even share it. I believe some was too mysterious to convey into natural, the carnal mind, no words for it. I believe there's colors in heaven. We've never seen there's things there, you know, but there was things he saw and experienced that he, he did not. He never recorded in scripture, meaning they weren't in the Bible. So everything he saw was not biblical. Wasn't God. Cause it's not, it wasn't found explicitly in the word. You guys tracking with me? Um, even the book of Jude alludes to the book of Enoch, which is not canonized scripture. So just so you know, I'm a big solo scriptura. It means scripture alone. This is the inherent one of God. Genesis to revelation. God breathe canonized, closed, can't add or take away from. This is the inherent word of God. Anything outside of this is not Bible. You don't build doctrine on it. This is Christ and Christ alone through his word. So, um, I believe this, but it's funny. And the word alone, it mentions another book. It's not scripture, not, not all sufficient for salvation, but book of Enoch wild skip through it. When you have some free time, Enoch prophesied the flood actually before it happened. Uh, remember he walked 365 years with God and God took him a year for every day of a year. All of a sudden he was just gone. Walk so close with God. And, um, anyway, so, so just trying to lay foundation because some things you, you may not be able to explicitly say there's versus, I think you could build a case, but I don't even like to do that. I would rather go explicit or just let you know, Hey, some things he just does. You're not going to figure it out. Another good example is let's say if we get too literal with the word, the great commission is this, what heal the sick, cast out devils, raise the dead, cleanse the leper. So you get too literal with the word. And then all of a sudden somebody comes up to you with chickenpox or hepatitis or scabies, some other skin disease. You're like, Ooh, sorry, brother. Is that leprosy? Nope. Okay. No, no. He told me cleanse the leper. Go on your way. You know what I mean? Seriously, this is what happens though. If we're not careful, we get too literal and you know, and we can, we can miss it. So anyway, um, some accounts of this, cause I really, I feel like for sure I want to honor God in this way. If I'm being honest, our ministry started here. I didn't know what I was getting. I didn't know. I just loved him locked up. Heaven came. I said, Oh my gosh, I don't have the switch. I don't have nothing to do with it. I was invited to Illinois, um, years ago and this pastor, this is what he told me. He said, look, man, um, he just told me point blank. He said, the reason we invited you is I really into the Lord and the supernatural, but I've seen the false people that falsify it. And there is that he says, but I've seen it happen in your meetings and, and I know it's, it's to be true and, and I love it cause often when it happens, it, it, I can't conjure it up. It just happens. He just shows up. You can't fake it. Whereas other things I've, I've heard wild stuff. You don't even want to put this stuff in your mind, but wow, that people fake, we don't want that. We want Jesus. And, um, so, uh, it's something wild happened to that church too. So anyway, um, years this had began to occur cause I just love him. And I think in this last hour you're going to see houses of glory. Look, um, Habakkuk two 14 says the knowledge of God's glory will cover the earth as the waters of the sea. A lot of us think, man, the glory of God's going to cover the earth as the water of the sea. Is that, uh, who is this right here? Okay. What's your name right here? I thought that was, no, no. I thought that was your son. He's not, he's not in town. Rebecca. Okay. Is it your son? Oh, Gavin. Okay. Yeah. I want to see him. Um, but how are you doing too? You're amazing as well. But Habakkuk two 14, a lot of people said the glory of God's going to cover the whole earth as the water of the sea. But if you read it closely, it says the knowledge of God's glory will cover the earth as the waters of the sea. I believe this. It could be much more. I pray it is. But that means actually the knowing of his glory will cover the earth as the waters of the sea. I think there's going to be pockets, houses of glory and I just want, and that's another thing. If I'm just honest with you, I don't mislead you, you know, as a leader of a house, it's going to increase and we're going to welcome it on or however the Lord, every way he shows up. I love it. And people are going to come in and be like, yo, what is going on up in here? And you know, people, some will, you know, like it, some not, I don't care, but I just want him. And, uh, but I think there's going to be houses of glory that honor even that side to him, regardless of the persecution that it brings. And from it, it's going to become so real and true and manifest in the earth. The knowledge of it will cover the earth as the waters of the sea, especially today with technology. One thing happens that's really notable. It can through social media and the news, it can hit the whole earth instantly. So I believe it's going to be more in that way. Uh, although Isaiah six, it says, um, sharing was singing. It was so powerful that, you know, that they, they look down and they say, behold, the whole earth is full of the glory. So I believe it's like almost gasoline vapors and then houses that strike it in a line with it, it torches there. But if you don't talk to it, it's still, it's full, it's everywhere. But you understand, but that knowledge of it, I think it's gonna be revealed through houses of glory and all this. And so, um, we just say welcome at Lord, but it's going to increase in the last stage. There's just scriptural precedent over and over and over for the increase of signs and wonders. You see Matthew 24, false prophets performing though all that increases in the last days. And, um, so anyway, a few fun stories, um, that are just interesting. I've seen over the years and we'll see where it'll go. So I'm preaching in Los Angeles many years ago. And, um, a lot of you will have heard some of these experiences. Oh wait, it's anniversary today. Eddie and Mary just, I just, it just came to me. The 23rd right wedding anniversary. Congratulations. They're not amazing. And, uh, love Mary, John, Eddie, Jonathan. And, uh, but Los Angeles, California, I'm preaching at a, uh, Korean house of prayer, literally a house of prayer. And, uh, the, uh, these Koreans and they're amazing. They like invented prayer that go for it. Worship's like two, three hours long and judges go for it. And so, but the night before I'm in my hotel room preaching the next day at this, this house of prayer, and actually had an angelic experience. I'll just, I won't go ahead. And some of these, they can get really wild. I'm trying to hit just some, some foundational ones and meaningful. And, but it was so clear, I'll say this, that it tied into revelation where the Lord says, return to your first love. I think revelation too. And, uh, and so I'm like, no way. The Koreans returned to their first love. Like they they're for real. You know, I'm thinking I can't preach this and didn't want to. And so I, uh, but I had to obey by the Lord. And so I go there and I'm literally preaching in this house of Koreans packed everywhere up hallway. I mean, down through the kitchen, like I'm, I'm literally coming up the hallway, preaching down the hallway. Uh, they're jammed in their worship going forever. And, uh, so I preach on returning to your first love. And right at the end, really powerful meeting this girl front row. And they had never seen this before. Uh, all of a sudden, I don't know when that happened, how none of this. And I'm preaching on first love. We're going after the Lord. And all of a sudden she's covered in gold. She was like a Christmas ornament. Find gold particles. Some people say glitter dust, things like this. I don't know. And, uh, I, we asked her, she said, I don't know how this got them. I don't know what this is. I don't, I don't understand it. She's sitting down the whole time, back of her legs, everything covered on how the Lord does this stuff. She goes, but listen to this. This is why I love this story. Could be demonic. I don't know. Tell me in the scripture where you see gold ever around the devil. But then find your verses where you find gold around God, his glory, the streets of gold. It's all throughout. I don't know. But again, you, you do with what you want, but I just love that side to God. He's very mysterious speaks and he's, he's fun in this way. Listen to this. We need to know the times. I checked it the other day. I was curious. The number one red book amongst young adults right now, worldwide, Harry Potter. I'm telling you that there's something in human nature that longs for the supernatural because there's a void. We're created in his image. There's a void wanting him, but the religion's putting a cap on it, boxing it in. We're leaving God out in this way. And so the enemy's like, I got that. I'll capitalize on that every day of the week. And he's, he's swiping off with a very inferior, uh, you know, uh, from, from the end. All it is is demons, the demonic world. They were angels fallen one day. It's for a different purpose, a different kingdom. Anyway, I could spend a little bit on that. So this girl though, I said, why did, you know, whatever's going on here, we have it on video covered. Okay. Christmas ornament, gold everywhere. And, uh, she goes, I don't know, but let me tell you this. You're not going to believe this. Um, and it just so happened in my hotel room. I didn't think I was being spiritual at all. I just, this is the shirt I grabbed out of my suitcase and preaching in LA blue shirt. If I want a blue shirt, I'm preaching first love. She goes, I don't know. This is crazy. I've never seen this before. The house, they don't know anything about it. Uh, but all I know is about a month ago, a man came to me in a blue shirt in a dream. I went into a dream about a month ago. A man can be on a blue shirt telling me to return to my first love. And he started telling me all these details about my life that nobody knows. Only God knew. And I didn't ask her. I didn't want to know, but it was, it was things that only God could have known and revealed. And then all of a sudden, you know, a few weeks past, I come in there in a blue shirt, I'm preaching on return to your first love. And the Lord just, if it was maybe the devil didn't want to highlight first love in the dream. I'm just saying religions like, hold on, you're getting off into. And so that was a fun one. Very interesting. I would just say that. Um, another one I, uh, Oh yeah, we're in India. So I've seen this all over man, countries, things you just can't always explain. And we're out in the middle of nowhere and the one of the most poverty areas you could be. Um, I think it was like Vishakapatnam or something like that. And, uh, to put it into perspective, the pastors of the churches we were preaching at, they take up an offering and people, are we good back there? I'm good. I'm not trying to be awkward, but is there any prayer? Yeah. We can come up here. Who's that? Can you come up here? We can pray for you. What's going on? What's going on? What hurts? Okay, let's pray. Thank you, Lord. You want to come cross Tommy? What's your name again? Jennifer. You're amazing. I remember you. Jesus name. Thank you Lord. Be healed right now. Glory. Loose right now. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Be healed in Jesus' name. Kristen, you want to help? Thank you, Lord. Jesus' name. Oh yeah, okay, I think she's been set free. You want to take her in the cafe, please? Yeah. Thank you, Lord. Be free in Jesus' name. That's awesome. Heaven will stir up and free stuff. So anyway, I'm in India. They're taking up cups of rice for the offering. Just to put it in perspective. Healings, miracles flowing, really powerful. I'm under Pastor Moses. And so anyway, we're on some hut out in the middle of nowhere. These women don't even have makeup, nothing. We're out in the middle of nowhere. Me and my friend, we were staying at Pastor Moses' house. And look, man, they had a rat. He was like two foot long. It felt that way. But hey, it's just the mission field. We're sleeping in there, and all of a sudden, this rat was so big, he knocked a pair of jeans off the shelf. You just got to wake up the next morning and preach the gospel, you know. That's part of it. Another one, we had a little chicken. Some of you heard this before. We named him John the Baptist because he lost his head for the gospel. He was lunch. We knew we were eating him in a few days, so we named him Johnny B. John the Baptist. Anyway. Anyway. And so India is awesome. So we're in this one village. And man, the presence of God came in really strong. It was beautiful. Sure enough, this one precious girl, she's worshiping the Lord. And all of a sudden, these big chunks of gold started showing up on her. Again, I don't have the switch. And again, it could have been the devil. While people are worshiping God. Could have been. Devil wanting to distract. I don't know. But all I know is somebody got a photograph of the meeting. She's the only one. Beautiful, lost in the glory. Big chunks of gold just started appearing on her. We asked the pastor, have you seen this before? They're like, I don't know. Never seen it. We said, we don't know what that is. We don't have glitter. We don't have to do makeup out here. We were out there. I'm talking about like bamboo sticks and huts. And couldn't find my way back there to save my soul. And so they'd never seen it before. Didn't know what it was. So somebody got a picture. And you see everybody's in the meeting. But sure enough, by that one girl, there's this big detailed ball of light just floating right by her head. And you're like, again, I don't know. But we've just seen a lot of these things. They're very interesting. I was in Columbia preaching one time. And this pastor, actually Bogota, Columbia, asked me to specifically touch on some of these things. How God will just manifest. It's ways where, and just so you know, God's always with us. He's omnipresent. Jesus says, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. The kingdom of heaven is within us. But glory is a different thing. It's when it comes on the outside and it manifests. It's tangible and it appears. And sometimes it'll be a smoke, sometimes a cloud, certain ways. I don't know. But what I love is it's typically mysteriously tied into things that he speaks in. So this pastor asks me to specifically go down this direction. And sure enough, because when you start talking about these things, it increases that realm to happen. Just like if you touch on healings and miracles, a lot of the healing evangelists, people don't know this, but they would teach for a week. Then you'd see the highlight reel of Oral Roberts and A.A. Allen and Jack Coe and William Branham. Nobody knew that they teach on healing for a week. Then they'd flow in the miracles. So they lay the groundwork by renewing the mind. And, um, but just like anything. So sure enough, I'm sitting there just talking about how God moves in these ways. Really beautiful. And just to let you know, if you open yourself up through hungry, it'll start happening. I'm just telling you, we've seen this. It just starts happening in your homes. I welcome it in this church. We love it. Just happened the other night. Again, me and Zoe, not last night, but we were in here praying again. Judah was back here. I was on the balcony. We'll just spread out and go after heaven. But they hadn't talked yet. We just left. Presence got real rich. And Judah goes, man, it's really crazy because they'll rotate and we'll just go after it. But when Zoe was on the keys, he felt like an angel come up. He could feel him over his like shoulder. And right then his phone started doing this. I won't go into it. I may go into some, but things get interesting when the kingdom comes. It's just supernatural things happen. You know, um, many of you've heard where, um, just electronics. You say, where's that in the Bible? Nobody had iPads in the Bible. Nobody had Mac book pros, you know, people just like, it's gotta be in the word. But for years, uh, like 3 a.m. An angel would show up and my computer would turn on supernaturally. I have this on video. I don't, I don't know, you know, have all the answers, but it's just things get interesting. I got speaks through them. And then it started happening in meetings. The actually Atlanta precious man of God. He was here recently at our school. He was reading some of these wonders in one of our books. He was like, man, no way. No way. God does these things. He was arguing with God. And that night his iPad turned on supernaturally next to his bedside table and had Randy Clark preaching at it and then turned off, freaked him out. He's like, God, I'll never argue again. And, uh, and maybe the devil turned on his iPad and had Randy Clark preaching to him. I don't know. I'm just saying there's this religion. And, uh, but sure enough. So Judah's like, man, and he, his phone sort of doing some interesting stuff. There's science. It's just, it's really interesting. So Judah went up for his, he's worshiping and Zoe's over here and she sees, sees angelic, you know, over over there in the same area, right over where he was. And, uh, which doesn't mean all of a sudden it can happen all over. And so anyway, we get back in the car, he, Judah starts saying this, he was no way we're at, and they're tying it in. And, but when, when the kingdom comes, things start happening. So I'm in Columbia, Bogota preaching. I see a girl several rows back about where this precious woman is at the, with the, um, the hair. And so, but I see her going, what's like freaking out. It was new to her. I love the Lord will do this. He'll pick off people that have no idea about it. Often sometimes people to do it. And all of a sudden she's like looking around, they're talking down the aisle because it started increasing. And I go back there, her hands are covered in oil that was full of gold. Again, don't have all the verses for it. The Bible says, you know, anoint with oil, lay hands on the sick, but it's just interesting. So I'm sitting there, you know, and I usually will encourage in that way, start laying hands on the sick. I believe it could be a sign of anointing your hands for the things of the Lord. I love the oil of intimacy, but gold is in it again. I'm like, wow, we have this on video. Well, right then one of the leaders, cause it other things started happening to in the meeting. One of the leaders, um, felt hurry up and jumped up. I was like, I feel like we're supposed to take communion. And which is to me more important as one of the sacraments communion is like paramount. These are the majors. I don't major on the other things, but also if there's things that way, the ways God moves, I want to be open to it and just hear his voice. I just love him anyway. He wants to move. So, uh, but how many of you know, if you're not hearing the spirit in the moment, you can miss things. Romans eight says those that are led by the spirit. Those are the true sons of God. So you got to watch it. So this, this pastor just felt like we have all the leaders here. Let's do communion. And I was submitted to authority. I was under their authority. So I said, man, it's awesome. I'm with you guys. So they took the meeting it. We were in like a glory pocket. Haven't started coming in. Like that veil got broke and heaven was coming in and ways. And normally it's mysteries. There's revelation in it. It's really incredible. And right when he took it and started going communion that the oil and gold disappeared as quick as it came. And I was like, man, I don't have nothing to do with it. I was preaching a big conference. I won't say which one it was. And, uh, actually God TV was filming this one. I think thousands and, and the, uh, presence of God came in joy broke out, which is, you know, common by the Holy spirit. It's just amazing when he wants to do it. So supernatural joy starts hitting the place. It's just, bam, hitting pockets and the presence of God came in real strong. We'll write about then a pastor front row. Uh, you could see it. He's the same thing. Oil starts filling his hands. And they, I think, yeah, I think they got this on camera as well. So same thing. I said, look, when it was funny, I talked to him later. Amazing man of God, this pastor. I said, look, if you catch him out in the hallway, have him, if you have sickness, let him lay hands on you. Annoying with oil lands on the sick. And he said, the problem was as soon as they left the meeting is same thing. It disappeared when they left that realm. It's gone as quick as it came. There's been other wild times of things like this. Um, one time I remember so many, sorry, we're almost, uh, oh man, there's so many. Sorry. Um, I'm trying to think which one. Ah, another one. I'm trying to hit some of just the main ones. It'll appear in many different ways, but, um, me and Eric, many of you know, Gilmore precious, uh, friend in Orlando, we're, we're preaching at a house, actually teaching on intimacy. That's it. Just loving Jesus. And, uh, everybody that we know of on that, just for whatever reason, Lord want to come in young, old, it was packed in there. Everybody covered in gold. I don't know why. I don't, maybe the devil was trying to distract again from first love, you know? Um, another one, this one's a little interesting. Many of you've heard it, but I just, I'm telling you things are going to start to happen and we want to just go with where the Lord's going. And I believe the next big wave is going to be his glory manifest. And it comes in interesting ways. Um, man, gemstones again, I know this touchy for some, but I don't know why, but I know there's gemstones in heaven, foundational stones. My mom will tell you, I was, I was touching on this at one school. One time we did. And I think the very next morning, you have one appeared, uh, looks like a diamond. I don't know. And, uh, so it was funny. I was going to be on day star very shortly after that. And I was in Dallas actually in the hotel. So it's a pretty nice size on it. It had just appeared, you know, don't, I don't know where, you know, I had just done a school talking about signs and wonders. Our God will speak. Um, and so she went to test it at a jeweler who was, we were still in batteries, Louisiana. And who knows? We'll see. I'm, I'm definitely, I'll say this. I'm much more into the word and what he's doing. Not trying to falsify nothing. No hype. I don't like any of that. I'm very logical, actually very practical, but there's things that are undeniable that that you can't get around and they're, they're quite wild and point back to him. So she goes and, uh, and to a jeweler and normally from what I've heard again, we'll see in heaven one day, but, uh, but when certain ones have, have appeared, it can be that jewelers don't know what they are because they're flawless. There's no man-made CZ bubbles that you can find and there's no natural flaws and metals and things to how you verify the worth of say a diamond or whatever it may be. So sure enough, she goes to this one and he didn't have a clue what it was. He's like, I don't know. So she took off her diamond earrings. Mom's got the bling and teasing, but real diamonds. He goes, oh yeah, those are diamonds. They can stop filing. No, anything you bring them, I know what it is. They have all the equipment. Didn't know what it was. And, uh, and I remember it had just manifest and a daystar, they were asking me about her. I'm like, you're not going to air this. It was a side show, but one they still produce. Thank goodness. I don't think they showed it because stuff gets interesting. People just, they have problems with it, you know? And I pray we'd be okay with however the Lord wants to do it. But another phone run, I landed here. There's plenty more. And then I want to pray if anybody wants prayer and it's open to however the Lord will move. Look, if you don't want it, he's cool with that. That's what I forgot. I think to mention, but that pastor, that, that goal started appearing and he didn't honor it in the moment from what I'm told and says, no, don't look at that. We're focused on the word and didn't want any distraction. And I heard from that point it disappeared, never came back ever. And not that it's about that. We just want the Lord. But if it just so happens that he appears in certain ways for whatever reason, we don't know why. I never want to get to heaven one day and be like, man, there was a side to you that I didn't honor or appreciate or, or Stewart or figure out what you're trying to tell me. Does that make sense? And in this last hour, I'm telling you, there's going to be manifestations that are going to be outside of our mind. We're just gonna be like, this is wild. Um, I remember one that was a fun again. These are just benchmark ones that I remember along the way that I think are awesome. Uh, I was praying one day and before this Zoe and Jude, I was teaching them in Joel two surprisingly, and I was telling them about dreams, visions, a certain other. So when I got to the part where it says young men see visions, old men dream dreams, young men see visions. Zoe goes, wait, so can women not see visions? She's young, you know, and Judah had already been seeing stuff. So I think it, it just seemed fitting. And I go, Oh no, babe, that's just the culturally how they would pen it in the day. But it's all flesh. I'm not for sure. Cause she hadn't seen much up to that point. And, uh, and so we pray Joel to would encourage you guys, even with your children, even if you have to cut it down into bite sized pieces for children, but don't water it down. Just make it understandable, but go for the word and things like this. And so I said, no, no, let's pray. Open our eyes. God, that she may see and just pray for, for those to increase. Well, he did much more than that. A few days pass. It's right around Christmas. I'm wrapping presents for them. They, they were away this, this night. Uh, and again, I don't know. It may get to heaven one day and think maybe I misunderstood some things. Oh, there's another thing I want to point out too. When you talk about these things, but will people start to misinterpret other things? It's not supernatural. Oh yeah. Will somebody this Christmas be messing with a Christmas ornament ornament and figure and forget later and have gold on a book. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm serious. It's going to happen. Somebody is going to walk out there and see a goose feather and be like, man, you know? So I'm not, I'm not saying, you know, um, so no, it, it happens, you know? Um, but if we're honest, this happens with everything. This also happens with the religious. They get too much in the flesh on the word and in their ground so hard and so dry that they can't receive anything from the spirit. And I don't want that either. Does that make sense to you guys? Um, so the wheat grow with the tear, but I don't want to rip out the wheat just for the sake of having no tear. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. That's all. And so I've just seen things that are undeniable. So this one, and again, I could be off. I'm certain of misread things, but some, it's just like very interesting. So there's one day, um, I'm praying, gotten a sweet spot of presence. That's all. And then I'll go to wrap gifts for my kids because Christmas is right around the corner. Had Zoe's right over here. Set up Judas and I was done and I stepped back to look proud that out of nowhere. Again, I can't explain these things. I don't, I don't know. Two white feathers together connected. They appear right in front of me out of midair. Didn't fall out of the sky. We don't have anything feathers in our house, no feather pillows. No, I don't have anything like that. White about right here. Midair just appear. I don't know how. Then I watch them float and they own, they strategically float and land right on Zoe's gifts. That could have went to the left. That could have went anywhere. Land on Zoe's gifts. I thought, huh? Took a note. I was interesting. Maybe, I don't know. That night Zoe comes back there. We were in different states that night. And, uh, remember we had just prayed. Open her eyes. She's like, Papa, couldn't wait to come tell me this. You remember? Yeah, I remember. I remember we barely got through the kitchen. You're never going to believe what happened. I saw two angels. I'll go wait. What night was that? Sure enough. The same evening, the two feathers hit her gifts. I don't know. Could have been a major coincidence and some demon that wanted to, you know, I don't know. Where's the verse for that? I don't have one. And so I'm definitely not trying to say I understand it all. I'm not trying to make doctrine on it. I love the word, but I just know we serve a really big God that does some very interesting things. And it, and when he really does it, it brings glory back to him. But sure enough, that night she went into one was like nine feet tall. Another one shorter with a trumpet, crazy, crazy, and many more that would really be even more stretching, but just trying to at least start to knock on the door and push it there. And, and, and, uh, number one, let God know that we know the site to him, honor it. And, uh, you know, those that aren't, that's okay. And I just think he's wanting to make his glory known and it'll be known to as smoke, I believe, and clouds. And, but also Ezekiel one, just interesting and interesting study. He went into visions, could have been symbolic, could have been just visionary, symbolic, prophetic, but read that one closely too. It says that he talks about, and this was the appearance of the glory. When you have time, Ezekiel chapter one says a cloud came in being engulfed by fire and the cloud had the appearance of Amber. And if you study that word and Amber, it actually means gleaming metal, like silver and gold mixed. I don't know if you guys remember a Bethel, uh, around 2010 they had this thing appears showing up and it was like gold and silver and all this stuff and get a lot of flack over it. Some people don't believe in it. That's okay. I don't know. But cause some people go, well, no, it's gotta be white cloud. It's gotta be white smoke. I don't know. You know, it could be something that floats in the best word. They had you to, they had for it was a cloud cause it's appearing, you know? And, um, and it could be, we want all of it. I think the one with Seymour was like a, like a cloud. But, um, at the end of the day, we just want the Lord. But again, we say that, but then he comes in by nature. We don't know. And it's like, Hmm, I don't know about that though. But I mean, I want to learn it. Like people say their solo script Torah scripture alone, but then when the author of it starts showing up, like, no, it's like, no, then you're not solo script Torah. No, you're not scripture alone because he wrote it. He's all in it. So, you know what I mean? There's a thin line. And so I just want to be all him. That's all. And it's all him. And I just love anything. Him. However he wants to speak. Sometimes it's through a note, through a token of a sign. Sometimes it's through prophetic words, sometimes through angelic messenger, sometimes the inner knowing sometimes the love of the father, the conviction of the Holy Spirit, the fire, whatever it is. But I say we welcome it. And I just know, you know, it's going to increase manifestations of God and the gifts of the spirit, houses of glory. You know, so you guys want to stand. We'll pray. Uh, if the prayer team wants to come, please. It'd be great. Oh, Kristen, are you not on the printing? You want to come in? I saw earlier. That makes sense. Maybe Priscilla Bianca. Do you mind helping me? Let's pray. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. First, I want to pray. God, we just love you. All of who you are. And we pray. Show us your glory. You be pleased. Help continue to renew our minds and help us align with you and your ways. However you want to move and speak. We love you. Thank you for your presence. And your word. In Jesus name.

Brian Guerin (birth year unknown–present). Brian Guerin is an American pastor, author, and founder of Bridal Glory International and Ascend Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Raised in a non-religious home, he became a Christian in college after a profound spiritual experience he described as a divine encounter with a falcon, which ignited his pursuit of intimacy with God. Guerin serves as the senior leader of Ascend Church, where his preaching emphasizes a deep relationship with Jesus, the power of God’s presence, and preparing believers for Christ’s return. He founded Ascend Academy, a ministry school, and travels globally, speaking at conferences and on platforms like TBN and GOD-TV, often highlighting signs, wonders, and prophetic insights. His books, including God of Wonders: Experiencing God’s Voice Through Signs, Wonders, and Miracles, To Know Him: Discovering Experiential Intimacy with God, The Altar: Preparing for the Return of Jesus Christ, and Divine Encounter, focus on spiritual growth and encountering God. Known for sermons like “Mary’s at His Feet” and “The Secret Place,” he encourages distraction-free prayer and devotion, drawing from Scriptures like Luke 10:41–42 and Matthew 6:6. Guerin’s ministry seeks to draw the Church into closeness with Christ, which he calls the “highest prize in life.” He said, “Your heart can burn, and you still not know Him.”
