His Will or Yours - Part 4 by Pastor Omar Ellison on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026

In this episode, Pastor Omar Ellison dives deep into Isaiah 1 and 1 Peter 5 to explain why many believers struggle to see the "best of the land" in their daily lives. He challenges the notion that everything is "up to God," explaining that God has placed authority back into our hands through our ability to choose. If we are willing and obedient, we feast like kings; if we rebel, we are devoured by the very thoughts we refuse to surrender. -- Pastor Omar explains that rebellion isn't just outward defiance; it is often found in the "dragging of feet" or obeying with a heart full of malice. -- The mind is identified as the primary place of devouring, where wrong thinking leads to a "reprobate mind" that accepts lies as reality. -- A deep dive into 1 Peter 5:7 reveals that "care" is defined as the "suffering of the mind," and we are commanded to cast that suffering onto God. -- The transcript identifies the two main reasons people fail to submit: Pride (both the arrogant and the "shy" varieties) and Fear. -- Pastor Omar uses the story of the Centurion to show that the only things that cause Jesus to "marvel" are Great Faith and Great Unbelief. -- Practical advice is given on "spiritual hygiene," such as feeding your spirit the Word of God while you sleep rather than letting the world influence your subconscious through the television. 5.
