An Old Stone Church

In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul tells us that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. God no longer resides in physical buildings but in us—His church. I once encountered an old stone church and felt a deep emotional response. It reminded me of the prayers, love, and devotion once present there. Although the building may have lost its significance, God never forgets His people or their acts of love. Remember this passion, and let’s rekindle our desire for Him, individually and as a communit...

We Were Not Shaken

As a church in Times Square, we faced the tragic events of 9/11 in 2001 with a peace that passes all understanding. Our hearts were filled with the Word of God, and we were assured He was with us. I witnessed countless individuals coming to Christ during that period. We were not shaken or thrown off course because God had spoken to us and protected us from being overwhelmed by the trials ahead. We know there's an ongoing hour of trial in this world, which will only grow deeper and darker as time...

We Must Take Action

A small percentage of people are driving the agenda today in our country, but we have the power to overcome them. We cannot be satisfied with knowing the truth but seeing little impact on our generation. The story of Sodom reminds us of a lawless society driven by lust. Today, we face similar issues, like the growth of marijuana stores replacing souvenir shops in our cities. The illusion of freedom is bondage and darkness. We must take action, speaking out against these challenges and striving f...

There's Only One Truth

We live in a generation today with an absurd viewpoint on truth. The whole concept of your and my truth doesn't exist. Jesus Christ Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except by me.” You can't get to God by making up your rules. There is only one path, and the promise of embracing it will set you free. The truth of God will lead you into a place of power and supernatural life that was not available to you before. Only God that can make a differenc...

Walk In Forgiveness And Pray

The scriptures show us Jesus associating with criminals. They arrested Him, caused Him incredible pain, and put Him to death. People were no longer interested in Christ’s words. Today, people are pushing God out of our schools and government. Jesus and the gospel have become offensive. So the question is: How do we preach the gospel when our nation is so hostile towards Christians? We follow Jesus' example. Jesus had the power to destroy everyone while He was on the cross. Instead, He said, “ Fa...

The Lord Will Deliver Us

Psalm 32:6–7 says, “For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in a time when You may be found; surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me with songs of deliverance.” When this world is spinning into deeper and darker crises, the Bible says that people's hearts will begin to fail them. Because of the fear that comes upon the earth, floods of the ungodly will not touch the people of...

I Need Strength

It's time to tell God your weakness and need for Him. He's promised to reveal His strength through you to this generation. Seek His guidance and provision. Knock on the door of opportunity and believe that whatever you ask, you will receive. The Bible says that everyone who asks receives. We can all say, “God, I need what you have for me. I need strength beyond my own. My resources are insufficient for the journey ahead of me. I lack the necessary willpower and conviction. My testimony is so ina...

America Has Lost Touch

America has lost touch with God in this generation. We've forgotten our founding principles, and we're now pushing aside the name of Jesus Christ and even mocking those who believe in Him. This deception has led to an increasingly lawless, violent, and confused society, very much like Sodom in the Bible. We must pray, seek God's forgiveness, and ask God to restore our connection to Him by standing firm in our beliefs and sharing the truth of God's Word with love. We can combat deception and brin...

God Working Through Him

In 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, the apostle Paul emphasizes that when he came to the Corinthians, he did not rely on his eloquence or human wisdom to share the testimony of God. Instead, he chose to focus solely on Jesus Christ and His crucifixion. Paul understood that it was not his strength or accomplishments that mattered but rather the power and mercy of God working through him. It's not in your abilities or my knowledge that a difference can be made in sharing the gospel message of God. The Spirit ...

Ignited By The Spirit Of God

It's a tremendous privilege to have the opportunity to be a shining example of God's love in this world. Imagine a church filled with people worldwide witnessing our burning passion for God. They look at us and say, “I don't know what they have, but I want it.” This example is the same experience that occurred on the day of Pentecost. Religious people encountered a group of individuals whom the Spirit of God ignited, and when they saw it, they said, "We want that." I experienced this when I shar...

God Can Set You Free

Listen to the words of God in Isaiah 45:2: “I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.” God can free you from whatever pit you are in today or whatever mountain stands before you. He's able to make every crooked path in your life straight again. He can remove any obstacle the enemy has set before you. God will take care of those difficult places you can't get out of, and He will take care of every place you've f...

Rely On His Power

God has chosen to reveal His glory through us, imperfect and flawed as we may be. Sometimes, it's hard to comprehend why He would choose people like us. We can never fully grasp the true extent of God’s glory. Yet in His mercy, He sends us out to share about Him—the infinite, all-powerful one who created the universe with a word. God letting us to speak about Him is a testament to His mercy and kindness. When we look in the mirror, let's just acknowledge the goodness and mercy of our God. It's h...

Trust In Gods Faithfulness

In Ephesians 6:13, Paul says, “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” I believe that God will remain faithful to you no matter what challenges you face, whether it's floods, fires, trials, difficulties, or sickness. He will never abandon you or let you down. He’ll be by your side through it all. Like the apostle Paul said, even after going through everything, you'll still be standing at the end, all thanks to t...

Supernaturally Changed

Jesus Christ is the purest living water for humankind. When He went to the cross, His blood was shed so we could be forgiven and have a new life. The Devil's kingdom and right to rule your life was destroyed. God promised us a remarkable transformation from the captivity that used to occupy our minds, hearts, thoughts, and future. He sends those whose lives have been supernaturally changed to tell others that Jesus Christ took their place and punishment. Christ offers them freedom from the chain...

Lower Lights

A great evangelist, Moody, once preached a message about a lighthouse and the importance of the lower lights. The lighthouse was a safety beacon calling ships to a secure harbor during storms. However, a keeper was responsible for lighting the lower lights to show the way through a channel into this safety area. The keeper decided not to light the lower lights one night because the weather seemed calm and pleasant. Little did he know that a massive storm would arise that night. The ship, amid th...

Put Away This Old Nature

Ephesians 4:21–24 says, “If indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” Without Christ, people will continue to be deceived and become darker as the days progress. They'll be entrenched in behavior t...

We Must Face Our Fears

I struggled with panic attacks for nine long years. A constant battle of fear running away from the serpent haunted me. I relied on pills and alcohol to cope. It was a living Hell, even sometimes requiring visits to the hospital. One night, when Christ entered my life, I made a choice. Instead of running, I confronted the serpent. I declared that Satan could only harm me if God allowed it, and either way, I was going to win. At that moment, I felt a powerful deliverance, and just as with Moses, ...

We Need God With Us

In this hour, let us fervently pray for God's help as a church. We must keep the testimony of His presence among us as we go where He sends us. Let's not rely on empty words and talk. We need the Spirit of God within us, for there is no hope for our nation without Him. We must open our hearts to God as our Lord and Savior. If you've never known God or lost your relationship with Him, remember: He engraved your name on the palm of His hands when He went to the cross. He hasn't forgotten you, even...

Shift Your Focus To Him

When we give God all the glory, our focus shifts away from ourselves and onto His message of love and freedom. Just as Moses and Aaron were weak vessels God used, we are also ordinary people with limitations. Today, let's surrender our self-centeredness and rely on God's strength. As we share His message, we should remember that it's not about us but the transformative work He desires to do in us and others. Take a moment to reflect on areas where you still rely on your strength. Then, surrender...

Even Through The Internet

I thank God for touching countless lives in this generation. Many feel hopeless, trapped in their apartments, and have no future. God hears your cry today, as in the gospels where Jesus calmed the storm. God has made a way for us to reach out to those crying for help, even through the internet. I'm so grateful for this provision. I also thank Jesus for sealing hearts with His words, preventing a return to our old ways. Just like those who escape to tell their stories in the city, let’s start to ...

The Things That Should Not Be There

When I got saved and started reading my Bible, the first thing that happened was I saw my character in the light of what God says it should be. It's like going to a doctor. You look good outside until you stand in front of an X-ray machine. Then, when you stand in front of that machine, you start to see the things inside you that shouldn't be there. That transparency is what the Word of God does. For example, the Bible says, “Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself f...

If You Open The Door

I encourage you today to open the door now if you've not yet allowed Jesus Christ into your life. You are God's temple. Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” I encourage you to open your heart and let Him come into your life. It's time to talk to God again. Return to a living relationship with the Son of God, saying, "Jesus, forgive me for what I've done. Forgive me for ...

Go Back To Your First Love

We must desire a genuine relationship with the Son of God and not just empty religion. We should desire to hear God when we pray and want to see Him throughout our day. Before we sleep, we should want to speak His name as the last thing on our lips. Ask God to help you not settle for an empty religion and to guide you back into a deep relationship with Christ. Let's commit today to seeking a living relationship with Jesus, prioritizing prayer, reading the Bible, and seeking fellowship with other...

The Warning Was Severe

Revelation 2:2–5 says, “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly ...

Living For the Benefit of Others

Ephesians 4:11–12 says, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” At our Bible school, Summit International School of Ministry, everyday believers are ministers. We define ministry as simply living for the benefit of others. If Christ lives in you, you are in ministry. You don't need a title to do ministry. You don't have to be perfect...

Today Your Freedom Begins

The book of 1 Corinthians 1 tells us that God chooses the weak and the nobodies and the nothings and the weak of this world. He transforms us, gives us power over our fears, and sends us a message of redemption. The power of Hell was destroyed when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The good news is that the Devil cannot hold you anymore. Your freedom begins the moment you believe. Despite challenging circumstances and strong addictions, God declares that you will be set free. Choose to believe Hi...

Trust That God Is At Work

Psalm 119:126 says, “It is time for You to act, O Lord, For they have regarded Your law as void.” We live in a generation that has rejected Jesus and is attempting to push God out of every facet of our society. Evil is now celebrated, and good is being criticized. We need God to intervene. Only He can work through His people in the church and bring about change. God is already answering our prayers, even when we don't see it. Let's seek His guidance and embody His love and truth. Trust that God ...

Simply Ask

Matthew 7:7–11 says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask h...

We Can Have Confidence

Luke 11:5–8 says, “Then Jesus said to them, ‘Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, “Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.” And suppose the one inside answers, “Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.” I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shame...
