It has always been an unwritten rule to show up to a ride with your tank full. Many times, however, there’s usually a few riders in the group that show up with their tank empty, or even running on fumes.

We read in 1 Corinthians 9:24:
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

We aren’t simply in motorcycle ministry for the ride, but we are in a race, running for the prize of eternal life with Jesus Christ, and striving to take as many with us as we possibly can.

I’m reminded of an old song that I grew up hearing in church,
“Lord, I’m running, trying to make a hundred. Ninety nine and half won’t do.”

Each day, as we begin our daily run with Christ, don’t take off on empty. Spend some time with Him in prayer, building up your most holy faith. Be FULL when you step out into this world that is crying out for help.

Running on fumes in our walk with God can not only harm us spiritually, but it can hinder the effectiveness of our witness.

So, let’s continue to fill up before we head out. With a full tank, you may just be able to top off someone else along the way, that is running on fumes.

The Battlefield of the Body and Spirit

Brothers and sisters in Christ, we bind together in Prayer  as Azusa StreetRiders not merely as individuals, but as warriors united under one Commander. Cancer. Injuries. Accidents. Pain. These are the battlefields where many among us are fighting. As Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, ‘We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness.’ When disease attacks the body of a believer, it’s attempting to weaken faith and destroy hope. Today, we stand together and declare that we understand the enemy’s tactics, and we will not surrender ground!

Our Weapons for Warfare

In 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Paul declares: ‘Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.’ We fight with the full armor of God from Ephesians 6—the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit. These weapons allow us to cast down the dark thoughts that whisper defeat and replace them with God’s promises of healing and restoration.

Standing Firm When Your Body is Under Attack

To those battling cancer today—I speak directly to you. The diagnosis may have shaken you, but it did not shake your God. When cells multiply without control in your body, remember that nothing happens outside God’s control in His universe. Don your armor daily. Take captive thoughts of fear and death. Replace them with declarations of life. To those nursing injuries or recovering from accidents—your temporary limitation is not your final destination. Like Jacob who wrestled with God and walked away with both a limp and a blessing, your current pain may be the precursor to unprecedented spiritual strength. Wear your armor. Battle the thoughts that say you are defined by your disability. To those living with chronic pain—perhaps the most insidious battlefield of all, where the enemy whispers constantly of a diminished future—you are not forgotten. Your endurance is not in vain. Put on the full armor daily, especially the helmet of salvation to guard your thoughts. Take captive the lie that says your value is diminished by your condition. In my own life, I’ve witnessed the power of these spiritual weapons. [INSERT PERSONAL TESTIMONY IF APPLICABLE]. The battle in the mind often determines the outcome in the body. When we align our thoughts with God’s thoughts, we position ourselves for His healing power to flow.

United in Prayer: Our Battle Strategy

God never intended us to fight alone. In ancient warfare, Roman soldiers’ shields interlocked to create an impenetrable wall. Similarly, our faith shields are strongest when joined together. This is why our prayer chains are not just a ministry activity—they are a strategic military operation in the spirit realm! When illness strikes one of us, the prayer chain isn’t merely sharing information—it’s calling troops to battle stations. James 5:16 reminds us that ‘The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.’ But imagine the power when dozens or hundreds of righteous prayers converge on a single need! Let us commit to immediate response, specific prayers against these afflictions, and consistent follow-up. For Jesus promised in Matthew 18:19, ‘If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.’

A Call to Prayer

As we prepare to pray, remember Romans 8:37—we are ‘more than conquerors through him that loved us.’ Not because we never face battles, but because we face them with Christ and overcome!

Let us pray: ‘Mighty God, Commander of heaven’s armies, we stand before You fully armored for battle. We take authority over cancer, injuries, accidents, and pain attacking our ministry and its members. We cast down imaginations that exalt themselves against Your healing power. By the blood of Jesus, we declare healing over these bodies. We lock shields together in faith, creating an impenetrable defense against the enemy’s schemes. By Your stripes, we claim our healing. We thank You for the victory that is already accomplished in the heavenlies and now manifesting in our physical realm. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Healer and Deliverer, Amen.’ Go forth now as God’s armored warriors. Stand firm. Pray fervently. And watch as God turns your battleground into holy ground!

After a courageous 3 year battle with cancer, Sis. Linda Thompson has fought a good fight, and finished her course.

We do not sorrow as those who have no hope, for we understand that to absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Sis. Linda lived her life as a reflection of her Savior, a faithful servant of God.

We are grateful for the many years Sis. Linda faithfully served the ministry of ASR as First Lady, alongside her husband, Bro. Robert Thompson, who served as President.

Azusa StreetRiders would not be the ministry it is today, without the leadership of Bro. Robert and Sis. Linda Thompson. Her legacy will continue to be an example of what it means to be Apostolic.

Please continue to lift up Bro. Robert and his family through this time.

Services for Sis. Linda will be:
First Apostolic Church of Maryville, TN
Saturday, September 6, 2025
Viewing: 6:00pm
Service: 7:00pm

 

 

What a blessed time we had in Midland, MI for the 2025 National Rally!

God met with us in a special way during each service, during each ride, and throughout the entirety of the rally. There was a special presence of the Lord each day.

We rejoice with the 2 souls who were baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ during the rally, and everyone who received a special touch from the master.

The Board of Azusa StreetRiders would like to give special recognition to Pastor Kevin Willis, the saints of Pentecostal Temple, and the Midland MI chapter for a phenomenal job hosting the rally. Everything was done with excellence, and we are grateful for the hospitality that ASR was shown throughout the event.

Also, a special thank you to Machaila Zerbe for capturing several special moments throughout the rally.

 

 

On Monday, August 25, Azusa Street Riders disbursed $30,300 to provide motorcycles to missionaries in 7 countries, giving them the ability to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in remote areas.

Thank you to all of the chapters and membership who sacrificed and gave to missions this year. You are making eternal impacts around the world!

The Gospel will be preached to all the world, largely in part to your participation in raising money for Motorcycles for Missionaries.

God bless you all!
