We are 1 week away from gathering in corporate prayer on March 7th at four locations to engage in Spiritual Warfare against the principalities and forces of this world we live in. As we approach this week and you are riding pray up before you go as the devils have already attacked ASR moving into the Annual Bind The Stromgman event. We need to stay strong as a Ministry of Jesus Christ and always don the Armor of God before every ride. The locations of the Bind the Strongman locations are:

New Life Tabernacle 3635 Hwy 42 S, Price Texas Pastor Randy Hennigan

The Life Church 2446 Trebein Rd Xenia, OH 45385 Pastor Ken Dillingham

Harvest Temple 530 S. Main St, JAcksonville, Il 62650 Pastor Archie Beavers

Life United Pentecostal Church, 1301 Pipkin Rd, Hinesville, Ga 31313 Pastor Thomas Crutchfield.

If you were planning to attend the Baytown event, please try to make these adjustments and support this last, short-notice change.

We are just a month away from the annual prayer service to prepare for our riding season. I hope everyone is as excited about this event as I am. As we ended the riding season last year Azusa Street Riders members were in a spiritual attack in which several members were involved in motorcycle accidents and a couple were severe. Prayerfully we banded together in a season of fasting and prayer for our ministry and our downed riders, of which, all have overcome this attack and are on the mend. Joining with my Pastor Ken Dillingham we prayerfully sought the Lord for our theme for this year’s Bind The Strongman Prayer service. When we reflected on the unity we had during the season of attack we wanted to continue with the movement and decided our overall theme would be Spiritual Warfare. Session 1: The Armor of God and Riding Protected. Session 2: The Battle is the Lords, The Basics of Spiritual Warfare. Session 3: Enduring, Not Holding on for dear life – Holding on Until the Glory Comes. Session 4: Exercising Authority, Having a Spiritual-Led Battle Plan. Session 5: The Weapon of Worship, Leveraging the Victory of Jesus.

The locations have been selected and the planning has begun. Plan to unite with other Azusa Street Rider members across our nation as we come together in separate locations for the same purpose to show the devil that we are ready and will never back down as we prepare to spread the Gospel in the Highways and Byways and compel them to come in so that His house may be filled.

Winding Down the Riding Season and Preparing for Bind The Strongman

 As the riding season is winding down, I reflect on this past year of adventures and I am reminded of Luke 14:23: “And the Lord said unto his servants, Go out into the Highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.”   Having ridden almost 13, 000 miles, and 17 states, having witnessed multiple people get baptized in Jesus Name and several receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost makes for a good riding season. This would not have been possible without the season starting in a time of prayer and a successful Bind the Strongman. With March approaching, we need to start preparing for the 2025 riding season and Bind The Strongman 2025. Our goal is to have a Bind the Strongman event in each Region to come together in a time of prayer for this ministry to grow and reach people as we ride in the Name of Jesus. Join me in prayer as we locate the locations for this year’s prayer meeting. I am hoping to have multiple locations to allow for the opportunity for everyone to attend this powerful event. Contact Vice President Jeff Keck and Chaplain Scott Culver, if you are interested in hosting the 2025, Bind the Strongman Event so we can get the locations set promptly to allow for maximum attendance.

John 7:24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgement.

As I reflect on June, the events we have been to, and the 2500 miles over 9 states we have ridden, I know what we were doing and how we were presenting ourselves, but what did other people think? Being an Addiction Counselor, when I see people standing on the street corner my first thought is that they are looking to buy drugs, as this is a common way for people to get drug money. I am always convicted with that thought.

It is easy to jump to conclusions about someone based on their outward appearance. However, this is something that we learn not something we are born with.

Nelson Mandela once said,

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

Jesus did not judge people based on their outward appearance. Others were amazed and intrigued at the kinds of people Jesus chose to befriend.

That’s true for us today too. Jesus has never been one to build a clique from the most famous, most popular and most beautiful. He accepts all who open their hearts to Him. We’re a motley crew, however, with His power within us, we can change the world.

This verse (John 7:24) is part of a challenge Jesus made to the religious leaders of Jerusalem. Jesus was teaching that people should not be superficial when evaluating others, but instead should judge based on what is right. This means examining people’s heart, motives, and lives rather than making judgements based on appearances. Jesus believed that to judge rightly his audience needed to know God and have faith in Him. He believed that if they did, they would understand who Jesus was and their evaluation of the situation would be different.

Prayer: Lord, forgive me for the constant judgements I make of others. Give me Your eyes, so that I may look at people’s hearts, not their outward appearance. Amen.

Who have you judged harshly?

The riding season is upon us.  We have our rides planned and our bike serviced road ready.  Our mission is clear and the purpose is  to “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” Luke 14:23.  I want to take this moment to remind each one of us to seek God to:

• Let us always be ready to share our testimony and His Word II Timothy 4:2
• Keep our attitude Christ-like Ephesians 4:2-5
• Protect us and those around us Ephesians 5:15-17
• Give us alertness and quick thinking on the roads Proverbs 3:23-26
• Bring us back to our family with a grateful heart for the blessings of the day Psalm 121:8
