Love or Death at the Gate? What Will You Find?

In Luke 9:46–48, the disciples — the men closest to Jesus — were caught up in a status argument. They were thinking about position in the Kingdom, while Jesus was thinking about posture. They were envisioning thrones; King Jesus was envisioning a child in His arms.

“An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest. But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking in their hearts, took a child and had him stand by His side, and He said to them, “Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.” Luke 9:46–48

For Abundant Life Family Care, this passage is a direct rebuke to every system that measures greatness by visibility, influence, or control — whether it’s the LDS hierarchy, the New Apostolic Reformation’s apostolic networks, or even carnal church structures that chase growth over grace.

Jesus’ Kingdom runs on a different economy:

Greatness is not found in being served, but in serving.

Status is not given to those who climb, but to those who stoop.

True honor is found in receiving the most vulnerable — in His name — as if receiving Christ Himself.

Receiving the Child

When Jesus placed the child beside Him, He wasn’t making a sentimental point; He was giving the disciples a Kingdom litmus test. In the world’s eyes, children had no power, no influence, and no means to advance anyone’s status. Yet Jesus said:

To receive a child in His name is to receive Him. To receive Him is to receive the Father.

This is ALFC’s vision in action. Every Grace Home, every Ambassador, every Executive is being called to receive the vulnerable — not as charity projects, not as ministry “success stories,” but as if they were receiving Jesus Himself at their table.

This is why we are fiercely protective of our licensing standards. We will not place a child into an environment where Jesus would not be welcomed.

The Least is the Greatest

Jesus’ closing words flip every Babylonian value system upside down:

“…for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”

For ALFC, this means:

Our leaders must be willing to be the least — invisible if necessary, unrecognized by the world, yet fully known by the King.

We measure greatness not by how many people follow you, but by how faithfully you follow Jesus into places of lowliness.

Our mission is not to build personal platforms, but to build safe zones where Christ is seen in how we love the least.

In short: Luke 9:46–48 is a blueprint for ALFC’s culture. We reject the argument for greatness. We refuse to bow to titles and status games. Instead, we receive the vulnerable in Jesus’ name, knowing that in doing so we receive Him — and the One who sent Him.

Narrow is the ONLY WAY

The narrow way is not simply a more difficult road. It is a completely different road — a road paved not with our achievements, but with the pure, undeserved, unstoppable grace of God.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and those in high position exercise authority over them. It is not this way among you, but whoever wants to become prominent among you shall be your servant, and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25–28

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 13 that we could speak with the tongues of angels, prophesy all mysteries, possess mountain-moving faith, give away all we own, and even surrender our bodies to be burned — and still be nothing without love. Without love, all our gifts, works, and sacrifices are noise, a clanging cymbal in the courts of Heaven.

Why? Because love is not something we generate; it is the very nature of God, poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit through grace (Romans 5:5). Love is patient, kind, truthful, enduring — and it never fails. Love is the life of Christ in us, and without it, every religious work collapses into hypocrisy.

In Acts 5:1–11, we meet Ananias and Sapphira — a couple who wanted the appearance of devotion without the surrender of love. They lied to the Holy Spirit, thinking they could keep some of themselves back while still gaining the honor of full sacrifice. They tried to slip through the gate with a mixture — a part of grace, a part of flesh. God struck them down, not because of the amount they gave, but because of the corruption they carried into His holy presence.

The narrow gate doesn’t allow mixture.
It is all grace or no entrance.
It is all the work of Christ, or it is nothing.
It is all surrender in love, or it is all rejection.

Jesus is The ONLY Gate

Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, the only Life (John 14:6). You cannot climb over the wall by your works, your wisdom, your power, or your moral goodness — because none of it is good enough. The wide road is filled with those trying to do exactly that, and it leads to destruction.

But the narrow way is walked in grace alone, received by faith alone, and lived out in the perfect love of God that transforms us from the inside out. That’s why ALFC will only be built on grace with no mixture — because the lives we serve cannot afford a counterfeit road.

“Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving by myself? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” Luke 10:38–42

Enter Through the Narrow Gate

Jesus could not have been clearer:

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13–14

The Gate is not an ideology.
It’s not a system.
It’s not a personality or movement.
The Gate is a Person — King Jesus.

Jesus is the only way to the Father, the only way to eternal life, the only entrance into the Kingdom of God.

That’s why Abundant Life Family Care (ALFC) — KINGDOM Empowered’s flagship initiative in the Great Basin Region — is not just another foster care agency. We are building a Christ-centered refuge for the vulnerable and a spiritual rally point for the remnant. We’re calling believers to come out of Babylon, to reject false gates like Mormonism, NAR theology, and the carnal church system, and to walk the narrow way that leads to life.

And we are making it plain:

We will not license LDS homes.

We will not license NAR homes.

We will not partner with religious Babylon in any of its disguises.

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5:25–27

Future Reign with Christ (After His Return)

"Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years." Revelation 20:4-6

"If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us;" 2 Timothy 2:12

"You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth." Revelation 5:10

"And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever." Revelation 22:5

"Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?" 1 Corinthians 6:2-3

"Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him." Daniel 7:27

"and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Luke 22:29-30

Notice that these Scriptures consistently place our reigning with Christ in the future - either after His return, after the first resurrection, or in His millennial/eternal kingdom. The Bible never teaches that believers take dominion or rule over earthly kingdoms before Christ returns.

This is where NAR theology diverges from Scripture - they teach that the church must take dominion over the "seven mountains" of society and establish God's kingdom on earth before Jesus can return. But Scripture teaches we reign with Him after He returns, not for Him before He comes back.

The Biblical sequence is clear:

We suffer with Him now (Romans 8:17)
He returns (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
We reign with Him then (Revelation 20:4-6)

The Alpha Male Problem

One of the most stubborn obstacles to entering through the narrow gate is not political pressure, not cultural hostility, and not even religious deception — it’s lazy, warring, fighting alpha males who will not read.

These men will labor long hours, swing hammers, run companies, and fight battles. But hand them the Word of God, and they suddenly have no time, no interest, and no endurance. They’ve got a million opinions about the Bible, but they haven’t actually read it cover-to-cover with Jesus as their Teacher. They’ve been spoon-fed second-hand theology by preachers, YouTubers, or cultural tradition, and they mistake that for knowing the Word.

Worse, many refuse to see themselves as the Bride of Christ. The thought of spiritual intimacy with the King embarrasses them. They’re content to war and boast, but not to bow and love.

And because they will not read, they will not know (see). And because they will not see, they will be duped — by false prophets in sheep’s clothing, by ravenous wolves with slick branding, by systems like Mormonism or the New Apostolic Reformation that look “Christian” but bear corrupt fruit.

Jesus’ Warning

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves… So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit… you will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15–20

The NAR movement is a bad tree. Its fruit is Dominionism, false prophecies, man-centered theology, and emotional manipulation disguised as revival. ALFC will never license a Grace Home that promotes it, because to do so would be to put vulnerable people under the care of a spiritual counterfeit.

Jesus said plainly that on the day of judgment, many will say, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name… and perform many miracles?” and He will respond, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.” Matthew 7:21–23

He’s not impressed by titles like ‘Apostle,’ networks, or “kingdom influence.” He’s looking for obedience — the kind that builds on the Rock, hears His words, and does them.

Why This Matters for ALFC

We are building ALFC’s foundation the same way a wise man builds a house — on the Rock (Matthew 7:24–25). That means:

Our leaders know the Word of God, not just in theory, but in practice.

Our homes operate in the light — nothing hidden, nothing missing, nothing broken.

Our mission is not to “take over” mountains of culture, but to serve, rescue, and disciple until the King returns.

We will draw these lines in the sand now — because when the storms hit, only what is built on the Rock will stand.

The False Gate of NAR Theology

Jesus warned us about it plainly:

“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves… you will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15–16

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement is one of the most dangerous false gates in the modern church. It wears Christian vocabulary, quotes Bible verses, and hosts conferences that look and sound like a revival. But at its root, it is another system of Babylon — a counterfeit gospel with a counterfeit kingdom.

What is NAR?

The NAR is not a formal denomination. It’s a network of loosely connected churches, ministries, and “apostolic leaders” united by a set of extra-biblical doctrines, including:

Dominionism — the belief that the Church must take control of the “seven mountains” of culture before Christ can return.

Extra-Biblical Revelation — the claim that modern apostles and prophets receive authoritative revelation equal to or greater than Scripture.

Power Evangelism — an emphasis on signs, wonders, and miracles as the primary evidence of God’s work, often detached from sound doctrine.

Apostolic Authority Structures — authoritarian leadership where allegiance to the apostle or prophet overrides Scripture.

It’s Babylon wrapped in Christian-sounding language — a broad road disguised as the narrow way.

Why NAR is a False Gate

Jesus said:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven… Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name… and perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’” Matthew 7:21–23

That’s the NAR in a nutshell:

Prophesying in His name without actually knowing Him.

Performing “miracles” while ignoring His commands.

Building movements on sand instead of on the Rock.

The “Come Out of Babylon” Call

In Revelation 18:4, God calls His people to “Come out of her… so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues.” This applies to Mormons trapped in the LDS system, and it applies to believers ensnared in NAR churches.

“Come forth from her midst, My people, And each of you save yourselves From the fierce anger of the LORD.” Jeremiah 51:45

You cannot walk the narrow way while still bowing at the altars of Babylon — whether that altar is draped in white shirts and ties or decorated with smoke machines and stage lights.

Why ALFC Draws the Line

We are stating it clearly now: No NAR-affiliated individual or home will ever be licensed as an ALFC Grace Home.

Here’s why:

Doctrinal Integrity – Grace Homes must be led by believers grounded in the Word of God alone, not chasing after “new revelations” from self-proclaimed apostles.

Authority Under Christ – We follow King Jesus as our only Head, not an apostolic hierarchy that demands unquestioning loyalty.

Safe Spiritual Environment – We will not place vulnerable children or families under leaders who model spiritual abuse or manipulation.

Mission Alignment – ALFC exists to disciple, not to build a cultural empire; our mission is incompatible with Dominionism.

Our licensing process protects not only physical safety but also spiritual safety. A home can be clean, stocked, and staffed — but if the theology is corrupt, it is not safe. Just ask an ex-Mormon.

The Narrow Gate Alternative

ALFC is the opposite of the NAR model:

We build on the Rock (Matthew 7:24–25) — every leader, every home, every policy anchored in the unchanging Word of God.

We measure success by faithfulness, not by influence or visibility.

We pursue transparency, not hidden networks or spiritual elitism.

We keep the Gospel central — salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.

We are not here to take over the world for Jesus.

We are here to follow Him (deny self, pick up our cross), endure in patience, and obey His commands (Great Commission) until He returns.

By Their Fruit You Will Know Them

Jesus didn’t leave us guessing when it comes to identifying false prophets or counterfeit movements:

“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:17–20

The NAR “Fruit” Illusion

NAR leaders are quick to point to their “fruit” — stadium gatherings, miracle claims, political influence, and celebrity pastors with massive platforms. They equate size, spectacle, and sensation with success.

But when you look closer at the orchard:

Doctrinal Fruit — Corrupted by extra-biblical revelation and man-centered theology.

Discipleship Fruit — Shallow or non-existent; believers are trained to chase experiences, not to abide in Christ.

Leadership Fruit — Spiritual abuse, authoritarian control, and moral scandals covered up to protect the “anointing.”

Financial Fruit — Lavish lifestyles funded by manipulative giving schemes.

It’s not good fruit — it’s genetically modified religion, designed to look impressive but carrying no eternal nutrition.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

ALFC’s Fruit Test

At Abundant Life Family Care, we don’t measure fruit by hype. We measure it by health — the kind of fruit that matches the character of Christ.

A licensed Grace Home must bear:

Biblical Fruit — Leaders who rightly handle the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15), teaching sound doctrine and rejecting false gospels.

Discipleship Fruit — Homes that produce disciples who make disciples, not just churchgoers or ministry volunteers.

Character Fruit — Leaders above reproach (Titus 1:6–9), marked by humility, hospitality, and integrity.

Generosity Fruit — Radical generosity flowing from a heart transformed by grace, not manipulated by pressure.

This is why our licensing process is rigorous — we’re not just checking for clean homes and background clearance; we’re checking for clean doctrine and a background of faithfulness to Christ.

Fruit That Remains

Jesus said in John 15:16, “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain…” The fruit of a Grace Home must be the kind that remains — fruit that lasts beyond emotional highs, revival meetings, or charismatic personalities.

We don’t build ALFC to be impressive for a season. We build so that when the floods come, the house still stands — because it’s founded on the Rock.

Cutting Down the Bad Trees

The reason ALFC will never license a NAR-affiliated home is that the root system is already poisoned.

You cannot graft the Word of God into a rootstock of false teaching and expect healthy fruit.

You cannot disciple vulnerable children into wholeness while discipling them into a system that twists the Gospel.

You cannot walk the narrow way while planting your feet in Babylon’s soil.

The only biblical response to a bad tree is the one Jesus gave: cut it down and throw it into the fire.

"I Never Knew You”

Few passages in Scripture are more sobering than Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’” Matthew 7:21–23

Think to yourself, why would Jesus teach Matthew 7:21-23? Why would Jesus place ‘Lord, Lord,’ … ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness” in the Bible? Think deeply, and meditate on Matthew chapter 7. What is the Spirit teaching?

Here is the Scripture where Jesus states, "I WILL build My church":

"I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it." Matthew 16:18 

Matthew 16:18 is the only place in the Gospels where Jesus explicitly uses this phrase. Significantly, Jesus says "I will build" (future tense) and "My church" (singular possessive) - emphasizing that He is the builder and owner of one unified church, not multiple apostolic networks or movements that humans establish.

The context (Matthew 7 verses 13-20) is also crucial - this powerful declaration comes immediately after Peter's confession that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God" (v. 16), suggesting the church is built upon the revelation of who Jesus truly is, not upon new apostolic revelations or human governmental structures. This world does not need any more Muhammads or Joseph Smiths.

The False Assurance of Religious Activity

Let’s continue the thinking and thought process. Jesus isn’t speaking to atheists in Matthew 7. He’s speaking to people who:
Call Him “Lord.”

Claim to work miracles in His name.

Operate in visible ministry.

In modern terms, Jesus is referring to pastors, prophets, ministry leaders, and conference speakers who build entire careers on spiritual activity — and yet on judgment day, Jesus says, “I never knew you.”

This is the core tragedy of the New Apostolic Reformation:

It places a man (Apostle or prophet) between God’s people and Jesus.

It trains people to equate spiritual experiences with salvation.

It conditions followers to obey “apostles” and “prophets” without testing their words against Scripture.

It makes miracles, manifestations, and momentum the metric for legitimacy — all while neglecting the heart posture of obedience to Christ.

Lawlessness in Sheep’s Clothing

Jesus calls these people “practitioners of lawlessness” because no matter how religious they appear, they are not submitted to His Word. In the NAR system:

The “law” is whatever the prophet says this week.

The authority is the apostolic network, not Scripture.

The mission is building a kingdom on earth through influence, not preparing the Bride for the King’s return.

It’s religious rebellion dressed in revival language.

The ALFC Standard: Known by the King

At Abundant Life Family Care, our mission is to raise leaders and homes that Jesus actually knows — leaders who:

Abide in His Word daily, letting it shape their thinking, speaking, and living.

Walk in humble obedience, even when no one is watching.

See themselves as the Bride of Christ — fully dependent on Him for their life, identity, and fruitfulness.

Reject religious performance as a substitute for intimacy with the Lord.

A licensed Grace Home is not just a place of safety — it’s a place where the presence of Christ is real, and where every child or family member in our care has the opportunity to meet Him, know Him, and be known by Him.

Why This Matters in Licensing

When we say we will not license NAR homes, it’s not just about avoiding bad theology — it’s about avoiding bad eternity.

We refuse to put vulnerable children into environments where they will be discipled into a false gospel, given false assurance, and possibly hear “I never knew you” on the day that matters most.

Our responsibility is eternal. If we cannot be confident that a leader’s name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life — and that the King knows them — they cannot shepherd one of His little ones under the ALFC banner.

Built on the Rock, Not on the Sand

Jesus closed His Sermon on the Mount with a construction analogy that strips away all pretense and leaves only two categories of people:

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24–27

Two Builders, Two Outcomes

Both men in Jesus’ story hear His words.
Both build a house.
Both face storms.

The difference is in the foundation:

The wise man hears and obeys — his life is anchored in the absolute truth of God’s Word.

The foolish man hears but ignores — his life is propped up by shifting sand: feelings, opinions, trends, and human authority.

The Sand Foundations of NAR and LDS

Both NAR and LDS systems look impressive from a distance. They have structures, followers, resources, and influence. But they are built on sand:

NAR’s Sand – Extra-biblical revelation, personality-driven leadership, dominionist ambition, and prophetic words that contradict Scripture.

LDS Sand – A false gospel rooted in the teachings of Joseph Smith, salvation by works, and an ever-changing doctrinal foundation dictated by the current prophet.

When the storms of God’s judgment come — and they will — both will collapse. And great will be the fall.

“Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.” Luke 6:47–48

ALFC’s Rock Foundation

Abundant Life Family Care is committed to building only on the Rock:

The Word of God – Scripture as the final authority in all matters of faith, life, and leadership.

The Person of Jesus Christ – King Jesus as the Head of our organization, our only Gate, our only hope, and our ultimate Judge.

The Power of the Holy Spirit – Guiding, convicting, and empowering us to live in holiness and love.

Obedience Over Outcome – Success is measured by faithfulness to God’s commands, not by size, influence, or public approval.

Why Licensing Standards Must Be Rock-Solid

In ALFC’s licensing process, we aren’t just approving homes — we are setting foundations for lives. A Grace Home leader must:

Hear the words of Jesus in the Bible.

Act on them daily.

Model this obedience to every child and family they serve.

We are not interested in homes that look stable but are built on doctrinal or moral compromise. A “beautiful” house on sand is still a death trap in a storm.

The Storm Is Coming

Jesus didn’t say if the rain falls — He said the rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew. The storm is certain; the collapse is certain for houses built on sand.

This is why ALFC will never risk placing the vulnerable into homes founded on false gospels — whether from NAR, LDS, or any other branch of Babylon. We will build only on the Rock, and by God’s grace, what we build will stand.

Who We Are / Who We Are Not

From the very beginning, KINGDOM Empowered and Abundant Life Family Care have committed to absolute transparency. We don’t want anyone guessing who we are, what we believe, or what we’re building. We’ll tell you openly — so that truth can cut through rumor, slander, and speculation.

Who We Are

We Are Christ-Centered – Jesus is the Gate (John 10:9), the only way to the Father. Everything we do flows from His authority, His Word, and His mission.

We Are Bible-Rooted – The Bible is our final authority for doctrine, direction, and daily life.

We Are Gospel-Driven – Our mission is to proclaim salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone — and to disciple the vulnerable into this truth.

We Are Kingdom-Focused – Our aim is not cultural domination, but faithful obedience to King Jesus until He returns.

We Are Radical in Generosity – We reinvest 90% of ALFC’s net into Kingdom work, Grace Homes, and community transformation.

We Are Transparent in Governance – DAO structure, open books, and visible decision-making keep us accountable to God and each other.

We Are Builders of Safe Zones – Grace Homes and Grace Spaces are outposts of Eden in the Great Basin, providing spiritual, emotional, and physical refuge.

Who We Are Not

We Are Not LDS – We reject the false gospel of Joseph Smith and the LDS system. No LDS home will ever be licensed as an ALFC Grace Home.

We Are Not NAR – We reject the doctrines, authority structures, and false revivalism of the New Apostolic Reformation. No NAR-affiliated home will be licensed.

We Are Not a Denomination – We are not here to create another sect or brand of Christianity. We are one Body, united in Christ.

We Are Not Politically Controlled – We do not bend our mission to fit political agendas or cultural trends.

We Are Not Driven by Numbers – We measure success by faithfulness, not size, influence, or financial metrics.

We Are Not Building Babylon – We will not partner with systems, ideologies, or organizations that dilute the Gospel, hide the truth, or exploit the vulnerable.

Why This Matters

This clarity protects:

Our Mission – Keeping us focused on discipleship, not drift.

Our Vulnerable – Ensuring no child or family in our care is discipled into a false gospel.

Our Witness – Making sure no one mistakes ALFC for just another branch of religious Babylon.

The narrow gate is only entered by truth and obedience–Jesus’. By stating who we are and who we are not, we’re putting both feet firmly on that path — and inviting the remnant in the Great Basin Region to join us.

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.” Galatians 5:6

The Call for the Seventeen

In every generation, God raises up men and women who will stand when the crowd follows. In Babylon, they were named Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. In the Great Basin Region, their names have yet to be fully known — and one of them might be yours.

The 17 Daniels of the Great Basin

To launch Abundant Life Family Care, KINGDOM Empowered is calling for 17 leaders who will plant their feet firmly in the narrow way and say with their lives, “We will not bow.”

12 Ambassadors – The public voice and presence of ALFC in the Great Basin Region. Recruiting and mentoring Grace Homes, defending the mission, and living as a visible testimony of Christ’s reign.

5 Executives – The operational backbone: 3 CEOs, 1 Executive Director, and 1 Operations Director who ensure ALFC stays doctrinally pure, legally protected, and mission-aligned.

What This Role Demands

This is not a title; it’s a testimony. This is not a position; it’s a posture of surrender.

To serve as one of the 17 means:

Standing openly against LDS and NAR systems, regardless of pushback.

Protecting the vulnerable with both courage and compassion.

Leading with open hands and open books — nothing hidden, nothing missing, nothing broken.

Living as an example of the Bride of Christ — faithful, pure, and ready for His return.

Like Daniel and his friends, you may be misunderstood, resisted, or even targeted. But the reward is eternal — to be found faithful by the King when He comes.

Why This Is Urgent

The Great Basin Region is a contested land — spiritually and culturally. Babylon’s structures are strong here, but so is the call to come out and stand apart.

The Harpazo could happen tonight.
We don’t have time for spectators.
We need builders, protectors, truth-tellers, and disciple-makers who will help establish ALFC’s Grace Homes as beacons of light before the storms hit.

Will You Step Forward?

When the record of the Great Basin’s history is written in Heaven, will your name be listed among those who stood in the furnace and walked out without the smell of smoke? Or will you be counted among the crowd who bowed, thinking you could justify it later?

The narrow gate is open now.
The call is clear.
The decision is yours.

The Gate Is Open, But Not for Long

Jesus’ words still echo through the centuries:

“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13–14

The narrow gate is not a path you create. It’s not a compromise you negotiate. It’s not an alliance between truth and error.

The narrow gate is a Person — King Jesus. He is the Shepherd and the Gate, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).

The Broad Road Is Crowded

Babylon is busy.
The LDS road is well-traveled.
The NAR road has traffic jams of conference-goers and ministry tourists.
The carnal church road is full of people carrying Bibles they rarely read, singing songs to a Jesus they barely know.

All of these roads are wide enough for pride, comfortable enough for compromise, and crowded enough to feel safe. But Jesus said they lead to destruction.

The Narrow Way Is Costly

The narrow way strips you of baggage:

No false gospels.

No divided allegiances.

No self-promotion.

No mixture with Babylon.

It demands confession, repentance, humility, and surrender. It demands that you see yourself not as an alpha conqueror but as the Bride of Christ — dependent on His love, clothed in His righteousness, ready for His return.

Your Decision

Today, the Gate is still open.
Tomorrow is not promised.
The storms are coming, the floodwaters are rising, and every house — every life — will be tested.

Will you walk through the narrow gate now, while there is still time?
Will you bow to Jesus now, before every knee is forced to bow to Him later?
Will you join the remnant in the Great Basin who are building on the Rock, who are raising safe zones for the vulnerable, who are proclaiming the truth in the face of Babylon’s roar?

For the Seventeen

If God is stirring your heart to be one of the 17 Ambassadors or Executives for ALFC, this is not a coincidence. It is an assignment.

You are being invited to plant your feet on the narrow way, to stand when others bow, to protect the least of these until the King comes.

The Gate is open.
The call is clear.
The King is coming.

Enter through the narrow gate — and help us build a refuge that will still be standing when the storm passes.

The Final Test at the Gate

In the end, there will be no titles, no résumés, no ministry highlights at the gate. There will only be one test: Does the King know you? And the only ones He knows are those who have entered by grace, clothed in His righteousness, transformed by His love.

Ananias and Sapphira serve as a warning to every generation: you cannot fool the Holy Spirit. You cannot fake surrender. You cannot hide a mixture. The same God who struck them down for lying in the early church will judge every heart at the end of the age. On that day, it won’t matter how many prophecies we spoke, miracles we claimed, or ministries we led. If we did not come through the narrow gate of grace, Jesus will say, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:23)

The way of life is this:

Die to self.

Abandon all confidence in your own goodness.

Receive the free gift of salvation in Christ alone.

Let His love fill and rule you completely.

The way of destruction is this:

Trust in your works.

Rely on your wisdom and strength.

Keep a piece of yourself back from God.

Try to mix flesh with spirit, law with grace.

One path is pure grace with no mixture. The other is a broad, busy road lined with impressive religious achievements that will all burn up in the fire of God’s holiness.

ALFC exists to help people find and walk the narrow way — not the performance-driven, man-centered roads of Mormonism, NAR, or carnal Christianity. We are building safe zones on the Rock, by grace alone, for the glory of the King.

The gate is narrow. The way is hard. Few find it. But on the other side is the face of Jesus, and His voice saying, “Well done… enter into the joy of your Master.”
