In this episode, Pastor Sam unpacks the prophetic weight of Isaiah 9:6 and the name El Gibbor, revealing that Jesus is not symbolically strong or becoming mighty. He is Mighty God by nature. From the womb to the cross to the empty tomb, Christ has always been victorious.

This message reminds us that when our strength runs out, God steps in and fights for us. As Scripture declares, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14), and “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). Jesus rules over every power and authority, for “all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18), and nothing is too hard for our God (Jeremiah 32:17).

Pastor Sam also teaches that God’s might is redemptive, not just destructive. “The Lord your God is in your midst, a Mighty One who will save” (Zephaniah 3:17). At the cross, Jesus disarmed every power and defeated the enemy once and for all (Colossians 2:15). The cross did not weaken Him. It revealed Him.

Isaiah 9:6 declares Jesus as our Wonderful Counselor, and in this message Pastor Samuel Rodriguez reveals why God begins with counsel before power, peace, or might. The voices we listen to shape the lives we live, and Pastor Sam calls us to return to the voice that leads us into truth and purpose.

In this episode you will learn: • Why “Wonderful Counselor” is the first prophetic title given to Jesus • How the advice you receive determines the life you lead • Why God asks “Where are you?” instead of “How are you?” • How wrong voices lead to confusion, delay, and spiritual detours • The difference between worldly counsel and the counsel of the Holy Spirit • What it means to live in Him—in His presence, promises, and finished work • Why 2026 must become a year of ordering, not wandering • How God restores, guides, and aligns your steps when you listen to His voice

In this prophetic and hope-filled episode, Pastor Sam opens Psalm 103:3–5 and reveals the power of the “Holy He” who defines your next season. These three verses capture the Gospel in a nutshell: He forgives all your sins, He heals all your diseases, He redeems your life from the pit, He crowns you with love and tender mercy, and He fills your life with good things.

Drawing from Acts 10:43, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13, Romans 8:1, 1 Peter 2:24, Psalm 84:11, Isaiah 40:31, and Jeremiah 29:11, Pastor Sam declares that if your past is forgiven, then your healing, your clarity, your strength, and your breakthrough are next. This message calls you to step into a new season—not just a new year—with renewed identity, restored joy, and the soaring strength of the eagle.

Get ready to rise above the storm, walk in God’s full redemption, and see good things come your way as you enter the season He prepared for you.
