🕊️ Homegoing Tribute to Reynold Charles

A Voice for the Kingdom, A Life Well Lived

We gather today to honor the life and legacy of Reynold Charles, a man not known for political ambition, but for a divine calling—much like John the Baptist, a voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing the way of the Lord. Reynold was a man of God, chosen and anointed to impact generations through the ministry of WGOD Radio, a beacon of truth and hope across the Virgin Islands and beyond.

He was not just a broadcaster—he was a history maker, a trendsetter, a Kingdom visionary. Through WGOD, he opened the airwaves to voices of many faiths, believing that the Gospel should reach every people group, every persuasion, every heart. His love for people transcended denominational lines. He understood that the Kingdom of God is bigger than any one church—it is a movement of love, truth, and transformation.

Whenever we gathered, Reynold would share his spiritual insights about the Virgin Islands with passion and clarity. His desire was simple yet profound: to see the Kingdom of God saturate the region, not just through sermons, but through the streaming and broadcasting power of WGOD. And he didn’t wait for someone else to fund the vision—he invested his own resources, his own heart, his own life, to ensure the Word of God reached the masses.

I was always just a phone call away, honored to assist WGOD staff with technical support whenever needed. It was never a burden—it was a joy to help carry the Gospel to our region. Reynold’s commitment inspired many of us to serve with excellence and urgency.

On behalf of my wife Everine Hazell and the Global Life Church, we recognize that a stalwart of heavenly worth has transitioned to his eternal reward. As the scripture declares:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness…”
—2 Timothy 4:7–8

Reynold Charles was indeed a John the Baptist of our day, preaching the Kingdom Gospel through the airwaves, calling hearts to repentance, revival, and righteousness. His legacy will echo through every sermon, every song, every testimony that WGOD ever aired.

To his beloved wife, Veeda Charles; daughters Maria Charles Alexander, Esther, Zelene, Joi; and the entire Charles family, Everine and I extend our deepest sympathies. May the memories of this extraordinary man of God sustain your hearts, and may you find comfort in the outpouring of love from the community he so faithfully served.

Heaven has gained a general. Earth has lost a giant. But the Kingdom has been enriched by his life.

Battle of the Mind by Apostle Oral Hazell

“Battle of the Mind”

 Teaching Outline: Battle of the Mind

 Opening Scripture Text

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

 Definition: The Mind in Biblical Context

• The mind refers to the seat of thought, reasoning, understanding, and decision-making.

• Biblically, it’s the inner faculty that governs belief, perception, and behavior — often interchangeable with the “heart” in scripture.

• It is the battleground where spiritual truths and worldly lies contend for dominance.

 A Mind Under the Control of the Enemy

• Characteristics:

• Confused, anxious, rebellious, deceived

• Hostile toward God (Romans 8:7)

• Driven by fleshly desires and worldly philosophies (2 Corinthians 4:4)

• Scripture:
  “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers…”  2 Corinthians 4:4

 A Mind Under the Control of God and His Word

• Characteristics:

• Peaceful, discerning, obedient, renewed

• Anchored in truth and guided by the Spirit

• Scripture:
  “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
  Isaiah 26:3

 Why Does the Enemy Want to Control Your Mind?

• Because your mind determines your beliefs, and your beliefs shape your behavior.

• If Satan can control your thoughts, he can distort your identity, hinder your purpose, and derail your destiny.

• The enemy knows that whoever controls the mind, controls the life.

 Why Is There a Battle in Your Mind?

• Because your mind is the gateway to your soul — your emotions, will, and decisions.

• There’s a battle for:

• Your identity (Who you believe you are)

• Your destiny (What you believe you’re called to do)

• Your authority (Whether you walk in truth or deception)

• Scripture:
  “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh… bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”
  2 Corinthians 10:3–5

  The Function of the Normal Human Mind

• Processes information, makes decisions, stores memory

• Interprets sensory input and governs emotional responses

• Acts as the control center for behavior and reasoning

• Spiritually, it’s the place where faith is formed or resisted

🌟 Positive States of the Mind God Desires

• Sound Mind – 2 Timothy 1:7

• Mind of Christ – 1 Corinthians 2:16

• Renewed Mind – Romans 12:2

• Peaceful Mind – Philippians 4:7

• Wise and Understanding Mind – Proverbs 2:6

• Obedient Mind – Philippians 2:5–8

• Spiritual Mind – Romans 8:6

• Mind Stayed on God – Isaiah 26:3

🧭 What Kind of Mind God Wants You to Have

• A mind stayed on Him — fixed, focused, and faithful

• A mind that meditates on His Word day and night (Psalm 1:2)

• A mind that discerns truth from lies

• A mind that reflects the nature of Christ

 Conclusion: Winning the Battle of the Mind

 Your Mind Is the Gateway to Your Destiny

The thoughts you entertain shape the life you live.

Every spiritual victory begins with mental alignment to God’s truth. To win the battle of life, you must first win the battle in your mind.

“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

 The Enemy Seeks Access, But You Hold the Authority

Satan cannot dominate a mind that is surrendered to Christ. He uses deception, distraction, and discouragement to infiltrate your thinking — but you have divine authority to cast down every lie.

“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7

 God’s Word Is Your Mental Weapon

The Word of God is not just for inspiration — it’s for transformation. When you meditate on scripture, you renew your mind and dismantle strongholds. Truth is your defense and your offense.

“Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” — Ephesians 6:17

 A Sound Mind Is a Sign of Spiritual Maturity

God desires believers who are mentally stable, emotionally grounded, and spiritually discerning. A sound mind reflects trust, peace, and clarity — not confusion or fear.

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

 The Mind of Christ Is Your Model and Goal

Jesus demonstrated perfect mental alignment with the Father — humility, obedience, and unwavering focus. To walk in victory, you must think like Christ, speak like Christ, and respond like Christ.

“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 2:5

 A Mind Stayed on God Is a Life Anchored in Peace

When your thoughts are fixed on God, your emotions stabilize, your decisions align, and your spirit thrives. Peace is not circumstantial — it’s positional. Keep your mind stayed on Him.

“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You.” — Isaiah 26:3
