MY BIO

Anthony Medina desires to see people anchored in hope, abounding in joy and walking in Kingdom authority. He is passionate about showing others how living in a proper place of worship will unlock the Kingdom of Heaven and all its attributes. As an encourager, Anthony thrives on helping people reach their full potential to fulfill God’s call upon their lives. He is conversational in his approach, teaching and mentoring from a place of honesty and transparency.

While a heartfelt talk over a good cup of coffee is Anthony’s preferred method of ministry, he has served in various leadership roles within the Church, cultivating gifts in prophecy, healing, and deliverance. His years at Benny Hinn Ministries World Prayer Center taught him partnership with Holy Spirit and God’s Word to heal and transform. An extended tenure at Christ For The Nations Institute provided Anthony opportunity to develop management systems while guiding students in their academic progress and spiritual growth.

After a season as Communications Pastor at Trinity Church, Anthony was promoted to the role of Lead Pastor and Instructor for a School of Supernatural Ministry sponsored by Trinity, where he spent a season discipling and activating students in receiving and releasing the Kingdom everywhere they went. Melissa and Anthony also shepherded and equipped believers on a broader scale, as Pastors of Prayer, Prophetic and Deliverance Ministries for Trinity Church. Together with his wife, Melissa, Anthony founded HopeFires International, an itinerant ministry devoted to igniting hope and the fires of revival in hearts worldwide.

Anthony is a graduate of Christ For The Nations Institute, an Ordained Minister, member of the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, HIM (Harvest International Ministry) under Che Ahn and frequent contributor on The Elijah List, Charisma and several other publications. Engaging his prophetic seer gifting, he is being guided into a growing experience in photography, and a growing heart for the media and entertainment industry. Anthony and Melissa are both New York City born and currently reside in Cedar Hill/Dallas, TX. They’ve been married 16 years and are proud parents to their miracle son, Caleb.

BUY OIL

BUY OIL

March 02, 20242 min read

(2/25/24, 7:45AM) I kept seeing a man in the spirit. He is standing in line to be anointed by a minister. The minister is full of oil (his body looked like an oil flask). The man is eager to get a spot of oil on his forehead (the tip of the ministers finger that had oil on it) from the minister that is full of oil. The man gets his touch and walks away, content with the oily spot on his head. He shows everyone his spot, tells everyone the words that were said when he was anointed. He then took some of the spot of oil on his head and puts it on another, attempting to anoint as the minister full of oil did. He never realized that his spot of oil was dry.

While the vision is pretty straight forward, I asked the Lord what I was seeing. He said “It’s the condition of many. Like in the story of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25) five of them only wanted a spot and the other five wanted to be filled with and carry their own oil. The “foolish” were content with being parrots and giving second hand revelation as their own, running on fumes of the words heard from another and  the impartation received from people full of oil. The spot of oil on their forehead distracted them from dryness of their oil jar.

The Lord is calling out and saying “Buy oil while there is time to acquire it.”The time of needing to tap into your oil reserves will come, but if there are no reserves You will look to other people and unhealthy things to fill your dry well.

God is raising up men and women that will teach the body of Christ not just how to buy oil, but how to keep it overflowing as well. Spiritual oil architects are moving to the forefront with great strategy and insight on how to dig for oil, how to discern where to find it and how to manage it once the well is struck.
