A Call to the Heart

A Call to the Heart is the preaching and teaching ministry of Pastor Lee Shipp. The purpose of A Call to the Heart Ministry is to reach the scattered sheep of Ezekiel 34:6. One of the primary calls upon Pastor Shipp’s  life is to encourage other pastors and the Body of Christ throughout the world, to exhort them in their faith and to compel them in their love toward God. Through this we have witnessed multitudes baptized in the Holy Ghost, healed, saved, delivered, and desiring to continue as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. This ministry is reaching into the lives of the very young to the oldest among us. Ezekiel 34:15-16 shows the heart of God for these sheep. “I will feed my flock and I will lead them to rest…I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered

    A Life That Blesses

    God’s desire for His church is to live as a royal priesthood—people shaped by His Spirit who reflect His character and extend His goodness to others. By speaking words rooted in grace, truth, and faith, believers can encourage, strengthen, and influence lives, pointing people toward God’s promises and the lasting impact of His presence.

  2. 69

    Living Stones, Living Purpose

    The church isn’t just an organization—it’s a living, breathing people called out of darkness into God’s marvelous light, built together as a holy, royal priesthood through Jesus. The Holy Spirit wasn’t sent for performance, but to empower believers to live with authority, fulfill God’s original desire from Pentecost, and walk as His set-apart priests in the world.

  3. 68

    Check the Source

    A subtle whisper of doubt can weaken faith, but recognizing the true source of accusation and remembering humanity’s own rebellion reveals the deeper truth about God’s unwavering love. By anchoring yourself in the cross, standing on His Word over your feelings, and allowing the Holy Spirit to make His love real in your life, you discover the unshakable reality that God never changes.

  4. 67

    Silence the Accuser

    The enemy often works through division, accusation, and confusion—using people and situations to pull hearts away from truth and trust in God. Even in seasons that don’t make sense, the call is to confront issues rightly, reject distorted thinking, and hold firm to God’s goodness. Don’t believe the lies—trust Him through it.

  5. 66

    Free From Wrath

    Humanity is born into sin through Adam, living under judgment and death, yet God made a way of escape through His love by sending Jesus—the only spotless and qualified sacrifice—who took our sin upon Himself so we could receive His righteousness and be reconciled to the Father. Through faith in Him, we pass from death to life, freed from wrath, forgiven completely, and embraced as sons and daughters with a new identity, eternal love, and unshakable access to God’s grace.

  6. 65

    Alive Forevermore

    God has declared that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and through His resurrection every claim He made has been validated, answering humanity’s deepest questions about God, suffering, and salvation. Because He lives and reigns, our faith is not in vain but filled with unshakable hope, calling us to live boldly, joyfully, and confidently in the promise of a new life and a restored world.

  7. 64

    The Great Exchange

    God is not just a God who speaks of love—He proves it through action, making a way for salvation by giving His Son so we could have eternal life instead of the judgment we deserve. Through Jesus, the perfect and sinless one, our sins were carried to the cross and His righteousness was given to us, restoring what was broken through Adam and offering new life to all who receive it.

  8. 63

    God Loved You First

    The love of our Heavenly Father is life-changing, meeting the deepest need in every human heart—to be accepted, known, and loved. Long before we ever loved Him, God proved His love by sending His Son so we could truly live through Him.

  9. 62

    A Loving Father

    God is Agapē—love itself—and everything He does flows from that nature: mercy, patience, correction, and forgiveness, perfectly revealed through Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. Though His love is unconditional and offered by grace, it must be received through Jesus Christ, and when someone truly receives the Father’s love, it transforms their life and reveals that God is not distant or indifferent but compassionate and good.

  10. 61

    A Call to Gather

    A spiritual migration is stirring in the Church—an instinct awakened by the Holy Spirit to gather, prepare, and draw away from this world as the night approaches. It is a call to stay close to Christ by staying with His Church, following Him where He already is.

  11. 60

    Living Ready

    Grace doesn’t let us drift—it teaches us to live holy, stay awake to the soon coming of Christ, and step fully into the ministry and purpose God has placed on our lives. As the clock moves toward a final day, may we be known for seeking first the Kingdom, raising our children to walk with God, and allowing grace to shape a life that leaves a lasting, godly reputation.

  12. 59

    The Evidence is the Church

    God revealed the reality of the resurrection through a supernatural Church filled with power, grace, and undeniable evidence that Jesus is alive—when that witness fades, the world begins to lose hope. Every act of faithfulness matters, because nothing done for God is forgotten, and what feels unseen today is a seed that will one day be revealed in glory.

  13. 58

    A Reputation of Prayer

    A true church is known by its prayer life—where people don’t just talk about wanting more of God but actually seek Him, becoming the ones their communities recognize as those who truly touch heaven. When the house of God becomes a house of prayer, leaders learn to lead others into His presence, lives are changed through salvation and healing, and we discover we don’t pray just to pray—we pray to know God, walking with Him only by His grace.

  14. 57

    Faith > Familiar

    Our faith traditions are precious because they began with our fathers’ obedience to God, but when we cling to man-made patterns instead of the Holy Spirit’s present voice, those same traditions can hinder His movement. Honor what God truly established while embracing the Spirit’s fresh, renewing work — because He is always leading us into new life, not yesterday’s methods.

  15. 56

    Silencing the Doubt

    A powerful move of God is on the horizon, set to reveal Jesus Christ in a way that turns hearts and silences doubt. This is a call to bold, resilient faith—no weakness, no fear, just confidence in the victory already won. Stand strong in Christ and live expectant, believing God will lift up His Son among the nations.

  16. 55

    Motivated by Love

    When love for God leads the way, it shapes how we give, serve, and live out our faith.True devotion isn’t driven by obligation, but by a genuine love that honors God, blesses His people, and reflects Christ to the world.When love leads, everything we do becomes an act of worship.

  17. 54

    Together as the Body

    As we step into a new year, remain faithful by gathering together as the Body of Christ—encouraging one another and stirring each other toward love and good works as the Lord’s return draws near. Don’t grow weary in meeting together; every gathering is supernatural, and your labor of love is not forgotten.

  18. 53

    Faith for This Moment

    Now is not the time to look back, but to live by faith and move forward with God. Though the journey includes trials, He is faithful and will not forget the labor of love shown to His people. Keep your eyes on Jesus—what is hidden now will one day be revealed in glory.

  19. 52

    The Incomparable Christ

    Jesus Christ stands as the transcendent, incomparable One—fully God and fully man—existing beyond time and space, yet sustaining all things as the perfect image of the Father. He is better than every prophet, priest, covenant, sacrifice, and promise, the fulfillment and focus of all Scripture, unrivaled in glory, power, and grace. From Him, by Him, and through Him, redemption unfolds, the broken are restored, and all truth finds its final and perfect expression.

  20. 51

    When Heaven Met Earth

    Angels announce Heaven’s unexpected message to a fearful world: great joy, peace on earth, and goodwill toward humanity through the birth of a Savior. As shepherds receive the news in the fields and Joseph is reassured in a dream, angels announced the arrival of Jesus, that He might dwell with us and save His people.

  21. 50

    Comfort and Joy

    Christmas is filled with joy, yet for many it’s also a season of grief and loneliness. As we celebrate “Joy to the World, the Lord has come,” we’re called to forgive, comfort, and serve as ministers of Christ—opening our hearts to others and learning to rejoice while we weep.

  22. 49

    Forgiven People, Faithful Church

    God’s new covenant frees us from the weight of our past, removing our sins as far as the east is from the west and filling us with the strength of His Spirit. In a world that doesn’t love Jesus, He’s given us the Church—a place to grow, gather, and encourage one another as we build a foundation of faith for future generations.

  23. 48

    Peace in the Pressure

    Serving Jesus in a world that resists Him is a difficult walk, but the reward of His presence, joy, and peace is greater than anything we suffer. Our lives may be full of trouble, yet He strengthens, comforts, and sustains us through it all. Remember the moment you first knew He was the Truth—and stand firm.

  24. 47

    Living Sacrifice to a Living God

    True worship isn’t just music—it’s presenting our whole lives to God in gratitude for His mercy. When we forget His goodness, we drift into busyness and self-reliance, but genuine worship is offering ourselves as living sacrifices, trusting the God who loves us and leads us into joy, peace, and a fruitful life.

  25. 46

    Don’t Fear the Storm

    The disciples obeyed Jesus only to find themselves battling contrary winds, wondering why everything seemed to be working against them. But even in the storm, Jesus saw them, came to them, and rescued them.

  26. 45

    Hope in the Day of Evil

    When the weight of life feels unbearable and everything around you seems to crumble, God remains steady. Just as Jeremiah cried, “You are my hope in the day of evil,” you can cling to the One who never falls apart. When you are weary and drowning in trouble, He is the strength that holds you together.

  27. 44

    God, Don’t You Care?

    When life feels silent and God seems distant, faith is tested in the waiting. Even when His actions don’t make sense, His love remains constant and His plans surpass our expectations. Hold on, trust Him through confusion and pain—because if you don’t abandon Him, you will see His glory.

  28. 43

    Before His Presence

    Worship restores what weariness steals. In His presence, striving ends, peace returns, and miracles begin to unfold. Rest isn’t found in stillness—it’s found in surrender before Him.

  29. 42

    Worship That Wants God

    Worship is more than music — it’s a posture of the heart that longs for God Himself. Moses refused to go forward without God’s presence. He did not settle for blessings, miracles, and success. He longed for Him. Are we satisfied with just His blessings, or do we truly want Him?

  30. 41

    The Reality of the Resurrection

    The Resurrection changes everything—it gives purpose to our pain, meaning to our work, and eternal value to every act of faith. Because Jesus is alive, our lives are no longer lived for the temporary, but for the eternal. Every sacrifice, every service, and every act of devotion carries lasting significance in the Kingdom of God.

  31. 40

    The Living Body of Christ

    Through the resurrection of Jesus, a brand-new creation has come alive—a new man walking the earth, filled with the Spirit. This new man is the Church, the very Body of Christ, called to live as one with Him and with each other, revealing His love to the world.

  32. 39

    Hidden in Him

    Your sinful nature wasn’t overlooked—it was put to death with Christ and buried with Him. What rose from the grave was not the old life improved, but a brand-new creation in Him. Freed from guilt, the Law’s demands, and every record of sin, you now live hidden in Christ, joined to Him in a new covenant.

  33. 38

    Stop Fighting a Dead Man

    The old man is gone— sin’s power is broken. Sanctification is not about fixing the old life, but walking in the new life we’ve been given through Jesus Christ.

  34. 37

    Complete in Christ

    The old man has been cut off, buried with Jesus, and left behind. By faith, you are raised with Him as a new creation—complete in Christ

  35. 36

    When Death Lost Its Power

    The mystery of the new creation was revealed in Jesus Christ, who rose in power, never to die again. At the cross, He defeated Satan’s power, paid the ransom for sin, and reclaimed all authority, bringing an end to the old order and the beginning of a new one. Through His victory, the curse is broken, and we are no longer under the rule of this world.

  36. 35

    From the Cross to New Creation

    Revelation shows Jesus standing with John, declaring the sure promise of what is to come. Colossians 1:18 calls Him “the firstborn from the dead,” raised in a glorified body as the head of the church, the beginning. Through His cross and resurrection, we are invited to share in this new creation.

  37. 34

    The Promise of His Coming

    Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians reveal a stunning promise: the Lord will descend with a shout, the dead in Christ will rise, and believers will be caught up to meet Him in the air. But before the antichrist can be revealed, the Church must be removed.

  38. 33

    Does God Know Me?

    Jesus warned of hearts growing cold, churches drifting into slumber, and of a day when many would work hard for a God that doesn’t know them. Believer, when was the last time you opened up the Word, spent time in His presence, and asked, “Does God know me?

  39. 32

    Awakened for His Return

    The Lord is coming—stay alert, stay ready, and don’t let your heart grow cold. Like the midnight cry in Matthew 25, be the voice that declares the Groom is coming—get your oil and be prepared to meet Him!

  40. 31

    When Godliness Lacks God

    In the last days, perilous times will come. The church will have a form of godliness while denying its true power: the life of Jesus, the Holy Ghost, and the grace of God. It’s not a lack of religion that marks the danger, but a lack of love and the power of God working within.

  41. 30

    Love in the Last Days

    In these last days, Jesus warned of betrayal, deception, and hearts growing cold (Matthew 24). But now more than ever, we’re called to pursue fiery, fervent love—rooted in truth, guided by the Holy Spirit, and marked by grace (1 Peter 4:7). Let’s not lose our first love—this is how the world will know we are His.

  42. 29

    Deception in the Last Days

    Jesus warns us about deception in the last days, as many will come in His name showing signs and wonders but preaching a message that contradicts Scripture. Now more than ever, we must walk in the Holy Spirit, stay grounded in the Word, and be unafraid of truth that brings conviction.

  43. 28

    Pure Wisdom in a Troubled World

    Are you operating in wisdom that destroys relationships through pride and strife, or the wisdom from above that brings peace, mercy, and blessing? James 3 shows how to walk in the kind of wisdom that can heal our homes and friendships instead of tearing them apart.

  44. 27

    Taming the Tongue: A Matter of Wisdom

    In this episode, we’re talking about wisdom—the wisdom of the Holy Spirit versus the wisdom of the world. Drawing from James 3, we’ll explore how the words we speak reveal the source we’re drinking from, and whether our lives flow with the sweet water of the Spirit or the bitter waters of the flesh.

  45. 26

    Temples of Living Water

    Jesus invites all who are thirsty to come to Him and drink, promising that rivers of living water—the Holy Spirit—will flow from within those who believe (John 7:37–39). As His temple, we are meant to overflow with His life, offering the sweet, life-giving water of Jesus to a thirsty world. But when we drink from the wrong well—rooted in bitterness, self, or deception—we risk pouring out sour water, leaving others wounded rather than refreshed; what flows from us reveals whose life we are truly living from.

  46. 25

    Jesus Satisfies, the Enemy Drains

    While demons seek dry, lifeless places, Jesus offers us living water through the Holy Spirit. Faith and Belief invite God’s presence, while doubt and despair attract the enemy. Choose today to be a place filled with life — let Jesus refresh and restore your soul.

  47. 24

    Heaven’s Water or Hell’s Wells?

    Is the water flowing from your life bitter or sweet, heavenly or hellish? John 4 and John 7 explain what it truly means to drink from the living water Jesus offers — not just to encounter Him, but to be filled with the Holy Spirit, the only source that can quench the soul’s thirst. It’s time to stop sipping from dry wells and start drinking from the river of life. 

  48. 23

    Living Water for a Thirsty Soul

    What kind of water are you drinking—living water that gives life or dry water that leaves you empty? In this episode, we look at the story of the woman at the well and how Jesus offers water that heals, restores, and brings peace, even in the middle of pain or confusion.

  49. 22

    Not Just Belief — Faith That Seeks

    What does it mean to really live by faith? Not just believe, but actually seek God and trust Him. Proverbs 25:2 says it’s the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the honor of kings to search it out. He’s placed evidence all around us, but are you searching for what is hidden in all of creation? What are you really putting your faith in?

  50. 21

    Living Faith in a Living God

    A living faith doesn’t run or make excuses; it expects God to move because it knows who God is—the One who shuts lions’ mouths, sends fire from heaven, and raises the dead. Real faith lives boldly, speaks truth, and walks with a spirit of power and deep anticipation, just like every great move of God throughout history.
