Pastor James Coffey: Seeking God’s Vision & Restoring Faith

Pastor James Coffey, lead pastor of The Harbor Church in Lafayette, Tennessee, joins Philip Cameron in the studio to unpack the prophetic word God gave him for the new year — and it carries a message for every believer who feels like they've lost ground. Drawing from 1 Samuel 30, James traces David's devastating moment at Ziklag — a name that literally means "the place of being pressed down" — and shows how David's story mirrors the spiritual condition of many families, churches, and ministries today. James reveals that God gave him three words heading into the new year: pursue, advance, and expand. "If you will pursue my presence and advance my kingdom, I will expand your borders," the Holy Spirit told him. He unpacks how David had been fighting battles he was never called to fight, settling in a place of suppression, until the Amalekites — whose name means "vision of doubt" and "the severed eye" — stole everything. Yet when David inquired of the Lord, God didn't just answer yes or no. He gave a promise: "Pursue — you shall surely overtake them, and without fail, recover all." This episode is a timely prophetic word for anyone who has experienced loss, distraction, or a severed vision. Learn more about The Harbor Church at theharbortennesee.org.
