A Dangerous Trend

Today, we see a dangerous trend of individualized truths. People reject the notion of a universal right and wrong and instead believe in your and my truth. This momentum has led to a distortion of reality. The crafting of new truth is akin to the Israelites creating a golden calf and convincing themselves that a divine power led them out of captivity. The human heart's capacity for self-deception is astounding. When God's restraints are removed, we become willing to create and believe in any lie...

Let Us Be A Beacon of Light

Many people believe that when the church of Jesus Christ is taken from this world, that which holds back lawlessness will be removed. The world will be free to engage in unimaginable debauchery and evil. If you think it's dark now, it will pale compared to what is to come. The Bible warns of a dramatic increase in lawlessness in the last days. We must take action, learn to hold fast to our faith, stand firm in our beliefs, and strive to live according to God's will for each of our lives. Let's b...

They Got Too Busy

Many pastors who've lost touch with God and their ministry attribute it to busyness. They get caught up in exposing others' faults and neglect their spiritual lives. When David Wilkerson asked these pastors why they stopped praying and reading their Bibles, the answer was always the same: They simply got too busy. Let's learn from their experiences and avoid becoming too busy ourselves. Take a moment to reflect on your life. Are you giving priority to prayer and reading the Word of God? Don't le...

In Recent Years

In recent years, there has been a baptism of confusion, lawlessness, and division seemingly worldwide. Throughout history, humanity has always desired to go its own way and create its own rules. The essence of sin is to rebel against God. However, a restraining force governed by the Spirit of God has held back this depravity. There will come a time when this restraining hand will be lifted, and humanity will descend into unprecedented evil. The darkness will intensify, and lawlessness will incre...

The Last Day Discovery

In the last days, we will rediscover prayer. I believe the church will finish as she began. We will have an upper room experience again when we gather together in one accord and one spirit as they did on Pentecost. We will say, “Oh God, we are here for your purposes on the earth. I yield my body as a living sacrifice for you, your Kingdom, your righteousness, and the people for whom you died. God, I'm asking you for empowerment of the Holy Spirit, that you would raise me out of weakness and medi...

God, Help Me

Psalm 22:24 says: “For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.” David reminds us that when we cry out to God, He hears us. This story reminds me of a personal experience as a young police officer. I was heading to training school and facing some profound challenges in my life. I remember being overwhelmed and suddenly turning on the radio in my car. By some coincidence, if you can call it that, Bil...

Even In The Midst Of Your Struggles

God assures us that if we pray and seek Him wholeheartedly, we will find Him. When we ask, we will receive. When we seek, we will find. When we knock, doors will be open for us. The bottom line is that in prayer if we believe, we will receive. I choose to believe in God's words over my doubts. In my heart, I choose to have faith in God despite any voices that may oppose me or call against me. This same thought applies today to all those who are afflicted, addicted, depressed, discouraged, or bro...

I Drove Past An Old Church

When I was a young Christian and a police officer, I drove past an old church one day, and I felt a deep sadness. It made me realize that the church had lost its passion for God, but God never lost His heart for His people. Let's remember to keep our hearts ignited with God's love and actively engage in prayer, worship, and acts of love. We are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, and God values our labor of love. Let's purposefully seek to glorify Him in all we do and keep our first love abov...

We Must Persist

Luke 18:35–43 tells the tale of a blind man who persistently cried out to Jesus for mercy despite being told to be silent. His unwavering faith and determination led to his healing and the restoration of his sight. The people who witnessed this miracle were moved to praise God. It was a time when there was a belief that the man’s blindness might've been a result of his or someone else's sin. However, he still cried out to Jesus for help. It's important to remember that there will be moments when...

A Day To Fight

We've been a church age that has primarily lived for self. We've opened the scriptures and focused on ourselves, our grandeur, our home, and our family. Things are changing, and God is looking for people who fully understand today's fight. Jesus came to die for our sins and save us. He said, “As my father has sent me, so I send you.” We're all called to bring people out of darkness and into the light of Christ. We must fight for those who don't have a voice and for children who are being taught ...

Together, Let's Conquer

In Ezekiel 37, God asks if these bones can live, and they suddenly come together. They stand, receive, breathe, and become a powerful force. I, too, pray for God to transform my life, fill me again with His Spirit, and use me for His purpose. Lord Jesus, empower me to speak your truth, pray for the sick, and bring light to those who live in darkness. Give me the wisdom to impact people's lives wherever I go. I desire to be a part of this last generation to experience the outpouring of God’s Holy...

Placing Trust In God

Moses was sent by God to lead the people out of Egypt's captivity, but first, into the wilderness. His journey speaks of trusting God. Even when we don't know where we're going, we don't have to wait for all of our promises to be fulfilled before beginning to praise Him. We can start praising the Lord now, even though we might be in the wilderness or not know our final destination. We know that we won’t return to where we used to be. Let’s praise God for that and declare all things work together...

Just Like Pentacost

We must long for God to speak through us again in this dark generation, just like on Pentecost. Thousands of people returned from the temple and encountered 120 individuals speaking in languages they understood, sharing the power of God and His works. The Holy Spirit empowered the 120 to do extraordinary things. This story is the origin of the church. We shouldn't settle for gimmicks and strategies but strive again to be vessels through whom God speaks and impacts people's lives for His glory. L...

Gospel Hardening

2 Timothy 3:1–5 says, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” Paul paints a bleak picture of a time whe...

Joy Is Coming

Jesus once told His disciples that you've asked nothing in my name until now. Ask, and you will receive. Your joy may be full. The Apostle James said, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and that it will be given to him. Ask God today to give you an open heart and mind so that you can recognize what you have to do and where you need to go. Ask for love, courage, wisdom, and authority. Ask for the gifts of the Holy Spirit. When God sends...

Being Called To Rise Up

There are people today being called to rise and start moving towards the promises of God in Christ Jesus. Despite their struggles and a lack of understanding, the message of the cross has touched their hearts. It's touched them because they have the nature of a shepherd. I urge you to move toward the calling that God has placed on your life. Even though you might be battling addiction, affliction, and even low self-esteem, I encourage you to rise and start moving toward God’s promise for your li...

I Want to Assure You

I want to assure you that the Son of God has a plan for your life that is far beyond what you can envision. His plan is possible because you possess the heart of a shepherd, having compassion for those under your charge. Even if you've experienced loss, your genuine concern for others remains unwavering. Self-fulfilling ambitions do not drive you, and you're not using people to achieve your goals. Instead, you bear the responsibility of shepherding with integrity. You refuse to burden others wit...

The Power of God Is Real

It's an incredible privilege to stand before a new generation and declare that God's power is real. It's time for God to showcase His power through us, this generation, our families, and even those who oppose us. In a world where our truth is beginning to prevail, we must demonstrate the transformative power of God's Spirit in our lives. Let's embrace the responsibility of being vessels for God's power and truth through our words, actions, and the Holy Spirit's guidance. Let's bring about transf...

The Son of God is Not Powerless

You might find yourself in the wilderness feeling lost and uncertain. I want you to know that the Lord is speaking to you, urging you to rise and move towards something greater than you can even understand. He's calling you to step into your freedom. You may feel that your freedom is insignificant or lacking power in the natural world. Let me assure you, the Son of God is not powerless—even though His voice started like a baby's whimper. God can create galaxies with a single word. He can raise t...

It's Time to Pray

Genesis 6:5 says, “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” We have grieved the heart of God as we parade our sins. New York state, like Sodom, has recently celebrated a new abortion law, which is equivalent to murder. We lit up one of our towers in the city and stuck our finger in the eye of God, dar...

Trust Gods Faithfulness

Jeremiah 23:1–4 says, “‘Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture!’ says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel against the shepherds who feed My people: ‘You have scattered My flock, driven them away, and not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings,’ says the Lord. ‘But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and ...

News For The Powers of Darkness

We were recently invited to Cornell University, and it's interesting to note that many of the Ivy League schools we've been asked to this year are currently facing turmoil. It's almost as if the Devil is declaring ownership over these places. At Cornell, about 400 students from multiple universities came. Instead of delivering a prepared message, I was led by God's Holy Spirit to share my personal story of what He has done in my life. The result was astonishing; about 200 Ivy League students wer...

He Created You With A Purpose

God's love for you is immeasurable and unconditional. He created you with a purpose and sent Jesus to die for you, offering a path to freedom and restoration. This promise isn’t just for the afterlife but a calling to live out your divine purpose on this earth. In a generation where many struggle with deep emotional pain, it's important to remember that there is hope and healing available in Christ Jesus. Instead of turning to self-destructive actions, come to Jesus and allow Him to heal you and...

Let Us Be Agents of Healing

Luke 4:18 says, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” Just as Jesus was sent to sow the strength and resources of God to those who lacked, we too are called to reveal the treasure of God's strength to those who have come to an end of themselves. We live in a world where people are h...

If We Are Willing

We live in a storm. We're fighting for the soul of a nation. It's that simple. There are rising waves of anti-Christian thought that are permeating our nation. Our society is becoming afraid. People are fearful of the propensity for violence and the evil speech that's taking a dark turn. Everyone is scared of the paralysis of our leadership in the nation. It's time to wake up again as the Church of Jesus Christ in our generation and start praying. It is time to call out to God. It's time for us ...

When We Have Nothing Left to Give

Let's pray for the Holy Spirit to empower us and help us pour ourselves out for others, even when we feel like we have nothing left to give. God can revive and restore what you believed was beyond redemption. Allow God's power to flow through you as you serve and uplift others. Do not let fear or doubt hold you back any longer. Step into the battlefield and trust that God will equip you. Believe that He can breathe life into the seemingly lifeless aspects of your heart and your life. Whether it'...

If You Find Yourself Unable to See

I may not know the challenges and struggles you face or the pain that weighs heavy on your heart today, but I know that Jesus came to bring healing to your brokenness. He came to mend the wounds that life inflicted upon you and restore your soul. The memories might remain, but their power to hurt and hinder you is gone. When Jesus Christ enters your life, He can free you, break the chains that hold you captive, and give you a life of abundance and renewed purpose. If you cannot see a way forward...

Even the Darkest Places

We thank the Lord for His abiding presence in our lives and His Word that reaches even the darkest places. We must pray for all who are seeking that God brings freedom to their hearts. May His truth advance in every aspect of our lives as we recognize the battle for truth in this generation and vow to fight for it. We shouldn't be silenced but stand for those crying out for freedom. Thank God for the beginning of someone's freedom today. Embrace the truth. Stand for what is right and fight for t...

Jesus Offers You Victory

Jesus came to bring freedom to those who are oppressed and burdened by the voices that seek to tear them down and diminish their worth. He came to break the chains of mental and emotional bondage to restore and renew every aspect of our being. Jesus offers you victory over the forces that seek to destroy you; you don't have to wait any longer. Today is the day of liberation and healing. Today, your last glimmer of hope can be transformed into your greatest source of hope. Today, God wants to spe...

Turn On The Lights

There's no truth outside of the Word of God. Our thoughts and ideas can only lead us to weakness and eternal separation from the Lord. The Bible is a lamp for our feet and a light for our path. The Bible tells us that the entrance of God's Word into our hearts gives light. Let's pray God gives us the grace to push back the darkness that is threatening to swallow a whole generation. The Word of God also tells us that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will protect us. Le...
