Thursday, April 30, 2026

In this powerful broadcast from Oasis Radio Ministries, Pastor Lonnie Provo delivers a message of radical honesty and spiritual renewal. Drawing inspiration from the late S.M. Lockridge’s legendary sermon, "It's Friday, but Sunday’s Coming," Pastor Lonnie reminds listeners that no matter how dark the "Friday" of their lives may seem—whether facing incarceration, racism, or personal failure—the resurrection power of "Sunday" is always on the horizon.

The episode features:

• A Personal Testimony of Transformation: Pastor Lonnie reflects on his journey from a life of deep-seated racism and hatred for the "white man's God" to finding clarity and boldness through the uncompromising preaching of Jimmy Swaggart.

• Unfiltered Conversations on Purity: In a moment of rare candor, Pastor Lonnie addresses the "unspoken strongholds" that plague believers behind bars and in the world, calling for a surrender of private sins to become effective witnesses for Christ.

• Community Support: Sister Monica and Ms. Andrea call in to share heartfelt messages of love and scripture with their husbands, Martin and Carlos. Mama Nellie joins from Kentucky to offer a community update and a call for prayer for those facing upcoming surgeries and personal tragedies.

• The Biblical Concept of "The Double": Exploring Isaiah 40, Pastor Lonnie explains the beautiful tradition of "doubling over" a debt skin—a powerful metaphor for how Jesus Christ took our spiritual bankruptcy, nailed it to the cross, and paid our indebtedness in full.

If you are seeking the strength to "wait upon the Lord" and bind yourself closer to His will, this episode offers the encouragement and the "boldness beyond compare" needed for the journey.

"They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength... they shall run and not be weary." — Isaiah 40:31
