Yoke Breakers Ministry

The battle is the Lord's

In this episode from Yoke Breakers Deliverance Ministries, Brother Willie James Gordon Jr. delivers a powerful message on the critical biblical command to repent. Examining the story of Jonah and the people of Nineveh, the message highlights how genuine repentance involves a profound change of mind, attitude, and behavior. Believers are urged to search their ways, turn away from worldly compromises, and embrace a life of fasting, prayer, and absolute obedience to God's Word before it is too late.

Key Takeaways


The True Meaning of Repentance: Repentance is not merely feeling sorry; in Hebrew, it means to change one's mind, and in Greek, it involves a complete shift in life, attitude, thoughts, and behavior.


The Example of Nineveh: Just as the king and people of Nineveh humbled themselves in sackcloth, fasted, and turned from their evil ways, God responds with mercy when we genuinely seek His face.


Separation from Worldly Compromise: Believers cannot straddle the fence or mingle with the ways of the world; Scripture calls us to come out from among them and be separate.


The Urgency of Turning Back: Jesus explicitly warned that unless we repent, we will likewise perish. True faith requires daily submission, confession, and walking in the Spirit.

Title: Faith is the Substance: Unlocking God’s Supernatural Power in Your Life

Description: Join Sister Gordon, co-founder of Yoke Breakers Deliverance Ministry, on Family Value Radio (KXXT 1010 AM) as she delivers a powerful, spirit-filled message on how faith acts as the physical substance bridging God's supernatural power into our everyday lives. Drawing from rich scripture and her own extraordinary personal testimony—where faith stood against a stage 4 cancer diagnosis—Sister Gordon explores how unwavering trust in God’s Word breaks yokes, moves impossible obstacles, and releases healing.

Key Takeaways


Faith as Tangible Substance: Faith is the spiritual material and evidence God uses to manifest His promises from the unseen realm into the natural world.


Walking by Belief, Not Sight: Believers are called to live, speak, and stand on the Word of God regardless of physical circumstances, symptoms, or human wisdom.


Moving Impossible Obstacles: Unbelief halts progress, but even mustard-seed-sized faith—supported by prayer and fasting when facing deep-seated spiritual battles—can move mountains.


Miracles Are God's Normal: God is not bound by physical laws; His supernatural power operates continuously for those who abide in Christ and trust His promises.

Faith is the substance

How do true believers demonstrate their love for Christ in their daily walk? In this episode of Yoke Breakers, Brother Willie James Gordon Jr. explores the foundational call to keep Jesus' commandments and live out genuine Christian love and forgiveness.

Examining key passages across the Old and New Testaments—including John, Leviticus, Romans, Ephesians, Matthew, and Proverbs—Brother Willie emphasizes that walking with God requires setting aside worldly titles, forsaking past sinful habits, and maintaining a steadfast commitment to prayer, fasting, and Scripture study.

Key Takeaways


Love as the Chief Commandment: Jesus commands His followers to love one another as He loved us, putting away hatred, malice, and vengeance (John 13:34–35, John 15:17).


Forgiveness and Non-Vengeance: Believers are instructed to leave vengeance to God, pray for enemies, and forgive others as God in Christ forgave us (Leviticus 19:18, Romans 12:19, Ephesians 4:31–32).


True Spiritual Family: According to Jesus, true spiritual kinship belongs to those who hear and do the will of God in Heaven (Matthew 12:46–50).


Living a Separated Life: True conversion means coming out from old worldly habits, putting on the "new creature" in Christ, and walking in continuous repentance (2 Corinthians 5:17).


Anchored in Wisdom and Prayer: Trusting God with all your heart, seeking His direction daily, and hiding His Word in your heart provides power over temptation and spiritual warfare (Proverbs 3:5–7, Proverbs 4:4–22).
