Come and See What God Can Do: The Power of God through the Life of Saint Patrick of Ireland

Watch Yesterday's Message

Greetings to the People of the God of Armies Prayer Community.

Beloved in Christ, today we gather to remember one of the giants of faith, Saint Patrick of Ireland. His story is not only history—it is prophecy in motion, showing how God takes weakness and transforms it into strength. The same God who raised Patrick will also raise you from the ashes of your trials.

Michael Chikamso has come for those who have long waited on God for an answer. Do not worry, my dear brethren, for the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is able to save you. I have come a long way to you with words that the Holy One has placed in my spirit—it is time to praise the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in your situation.

There are people among us whom I have come for their sake. Have you been praying for an answer and it seems delayed? What is that burden that has claimed your peace of mind? Take courage, for today you will see what God can do. Let us look at the story of Patrick of Ireland.

Story

The man named Patrick was not born among the Irish. He was a Roman Briton, a young man who lived in comfort until the age of sixteen. Then tragedy struck. Raiders came and carried him across the sea into slavery in Ireland. Alone, abandoned, and forced to serve as a shepherd, Patrick found himself in the wilderness.

But in that wilderness, he was not alone. Prayer became his language. In hunger, he sought the Bread of Life; in cold nights, he found the fire of the Spirit. For six long years he prayed until his soul became a furnace of faith.

In a dream, he heard a voice: “Your ship is ready.” Patrick fled and found his way home. Back in Britain, his family rejoiced, thinking he would never leave again. But then came another vision: the Irish people appeared to him, crying, “Holy youth, come walk among us again!”

What looked like punishment became the beginning of glory in the Lord God. Though Ireland had been his place of slavery, Patrick chose to return by the grace of God who called him into service—this time as a servant of Christ. He faced druids, kings, and dark powers, but with courage he preached the gospel. He baptized thousands, ordained clergy, and built churches. The land that once bound him in chains became the land he set free with the gospel of Christ.

The Miracles of Saint Patrick

• Driving the Snakes Out of Ireland
  Patrick climbed a mountain, fasted 40 days, and struck his bell, commanding the snakes and demons to leave Ireland.

🔥 The Reflection

Beloved in Christ, hear me: when we look at the life of Saint Patrick, we are not only studying history—we are standing face to face with the raw power of the God of Armies. This is not a tale to entertain, but a testimony to empower.

Patrick was taken as a slave, yet he returned as a general in the army of the Living God. The land that once mocked him became the ground where demons trembled and idols fell. His staff was prayer, his shield was faith, and his weapon was the name of Jesus Christ. And I declare to you this day: that same power is here for you.

What is that serpent that has wrapped itself around your destiny? In the name of Christ, it will flee into the sea! What storm has risen against your peace? At the command of Jesus, it will cease! What grave has swallowed your dreams? By resurrection power, your dead hopes shall rise again!

This is not ordinary reflection—this is the battleground of your freedom. As you read, the armies of heaven are dispatched. Angels are marching. Chains are breaking. Sickness is bowing. Poverty is collapsing. Evil altars are catching fire. You are not abandoned; you are surrounded by the God of Armies.

Saint Patrick declared, “Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me.” I declare to you: Christ is in your battle, Christ is in your future, Christ is in your household, Christ is in your destiny. You are untouchable, for heaven fights for you.

("Get a cup of drinking water if you are sick and pray these prayers over that water. Declare with authority.")

• They fled into the sea. From that day, Ireland has been remembered as free of snakes—both physically and spiritually.

• Controlling the Weather
  When druids summoned storms to stop him, Patrick lifted his hand and commanded the thunder and rain to cease. Instantly the storm calmed. At another time, during drought, he prayed and rain fell to revive the land.

• Raising the Dead
  Tradition says Patrick raised more than thirty people from death, restoring life as a testimony to the gospel.

• Lighting the Paschal Fire
  When the high king forbade any fire before his, Patrick lit the Paschal fire in honor of Christ’s resurrection. The druids trembled, but Patrick’s flame could not be put out. Even the king recognized his authority.

• Healing the Sick and Blind
  Patrick healed by the sign of the Cross: opening blind eyes, curing the lame, healing plague-stricken bodies, and blessing water that became medicine.

• Casting Down Idols
  Idols crumbled wherever he went. Pagan altars fell, sacred groves lost their grip, and false gods were silenced by his prayers.

• Fire and Ice
  When enemies tried to burn him alive, he stood unharmed, singing praises. Another time, ice melted at his prayer, saving his companions.

• Multiplying Food
  Just as Christ fed the multitudes, Patrick prayed and food was multiplied for the hungry. He carried a shepherd’s heart, ensuring no one left empty-handed.

Meaning of His Power

The miracles of Saint Patrick show us that he was not only a preacher but a commander in God’s spiritual army:

• He carried authority over creation, demons, idols, sickness, and even death.

• His works echoed Moses (power over waters, plagues) and Elijah (calling fire, stopping storms).

• His life was living proof of the Scripture: “The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.” (1 Corinthians 4:20).

Closing Prayer — with Michael Chikamso

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord God of Armies, today we stand on the covenant of Christ Jesus, and we invoke Your mighty power. As You fought for Patrick, fight for us. As You silenced idols, silence every false power rising against Your people. As You healed the sick, heal now every affliction reading this prayer.

I speak by the Spirit: chains of bondage, break! Yokes of darkness, shatter! Serpents of oppression, flee! Let there be rain of blessing where there has been drought. Let there be calm where there has been storm. Let there be life where there has been death.

Armies of heaven, take your position now. Fight the hidden battles in the lives of God’s children. Pull down every stronghold, open every prison gate, and release every captive by the power of Jesus Christ.

I declare divine fire upon every altar of wickedness set against you. Let every monitoring spirit be blinded. Let every power of witchcraft be consumed. Let every sickness dry up from its root. Let every curse be broken.

I bless your hands to prosper. I bless your body with healing. I bless your family with peace. I bless your destiny with open doors. From this day forward, you will testify of the victory of the God of Armies.

In the name of Jesus Christ, victory is yours. Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I Trust in You.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

God of Armies, God of gods, Christ Jesus, be praised forever, you are the greatest spiritual being of all time. Amen.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come, our Lord and God. You are worthy to receive glory, honor, and power. For you created all things, and by your will, they were given existence and life. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord, our Lord Jesus Christ, the God of armies. You are worthy to take the scroll and to break open its seals. For you were killed, and by your sacrificial death, you purchased people for God from every tribe, language, nation, and race. You made them a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they shall reign on earth. The Divine Lamb that was slain is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, and strength, honor, glory, and praise to him who sits on the throne, and to the Divine Lamb. Be praise and honor, glory and might, forever and ever. Amen. We honor you, O God. Your power is so great.

Final Words from Michael Chikamso: A Call to Rise in Power

Beloved, as Saint Patrick stood in Ireland and turned a land of bondage into a place of freedom, so also must you stand in your own life. Do not bow to the storms or serpents that rise against you—the same Christ who walked with Patrick now walks with you.

I call you today: rise in courage, rise in faith, rise in power. Do not let yesterday’s slavery define you. The chains have fallen. The armies of heaven fight for you. From this moment, walk with boldness knowing that the God of Armies is your shield and your strength.

Take this word into your home, your family, and your destiny. Declare it over your children, your health, your future: Christ goes before me, Christ stands with me, Christ reigns in me. You are not defeated—you are victorious.

Go forth in strength, and testify of what God has done for you.

("For the sick: drink the water with faith and declare, 'I am healed in Jesus' name. Amen" These prayers are not meant to replace your doctors appointment or prescribed medication. Always follow medical advice while believing in the power of God to heal.)

Building a Healthier Tomorrow: The Power of Physical Activity for All Ages

In today’s fast-paced, screen-dominated world, the idea of “fitness” has often been reduced to gym selfies or building visible muscles. But the truth is deeper: physical activity is a sacred discipline of care for the body—the vessel that houses our spirit, dreams, and strength. At GOA Community Services, we believe physical wellness is essential not just for health but for human dignity. This article unpacks the meaning, purpose, and age-specific benefits of physical activity and fitness.

🔷 What Is Physical Activity?

Physical activity refers to any voluntary bodily movement that requires energy expenditure. This includes common movements like walking, climbing stairs, playing, running, gardening, stretching, and even household chores.

It is a natural gift—built into our biology—to regulate bodily functions, reduce the risk of disease, and help us feel alive.

🔷 What Is Fitness?

Fitness is the body’s ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and without undue fatigue. It’s not only about muscles or endurance—it’s about being ready for life, physically and mentally.

Together, physical activity and fitness create a well-balanced health rhythm that supports every stage of life.

🧠 Quick Health Tips for Safe Exercise

• Always stretch before and after activities

• Wear proper shoes and clothing

• Eat a balanced meal rich in proteins, fruits, and greens

• Stay hydrated with clean water

• If you feel pain or dizziness, pause and consult a health professional

🩺 Mental & Emotional Impact
Movement boosts serotonin—the brain’s natural mood stabilizer. Regular physical activity is proven to reduce anxiety, combat depression, and increase self-esteem. It’s not just a body change; it’s a mindset shift.

🔚 Conclusion:
Fitness is not a phase—it is a lifelong language of self-care. Whether you are 6 or 86, movement is medicine. It’s never too early or too late to begin. Let’s restore honor to our bodies, not through vanity, but through strength, freedom, and joyful action.

🟨 A sound body and a clear mind create a healthy and happy individual. That is the future we are building together at GOA Community Services.

🟨 Why Physical Activity Is Needed in a Modern World

In our digital age, many people prioritize convenience over movement. We sit more, scroll more, and move less. From children glued to tablets to adults avoiding stairs, we’re seeing rising health issues linked to inactivity—obesity, high blood pressure, anxiety, and more.

Physical activity is not punishment. It’s not “for poor people” or only for the young. It’s healing. It’s preventive medicine. It’s the most affordable and powerful form of self-respect.

Let’s break this down by age group:

🔹 CHILDREN (Ages 5–12)

• Recommended: 60 minutes of physical activity daily

• Activities: Running, jumping, skipping, sports, swimming, dance, martial arts

• Benefits: Builds bones, muscles, agility, brain function, confidence

• Activities: Yoga, squats, swimming, push-ups, team sports

• Recommended: At least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week

• Activities: Jogging, walking, gym sessions, group sports, cycling

• Benefits: Reduces risk of heart disease, diabetes, anxiety, and sleep issues

• This is the most demanding stage of life—physical strength helps carry emotional and financial burdens too.

🔹 OLDER ADULTS (65+)

• Recommended: Gentle, regular movement and balance-enhancing exercises

• Activities: Chair yoga, heel-to-toe walking, light resistance exercises

• Benefits: Supports bone health, reduces arthritis risk, improves mood, prevents falls and dementia-related decline
