In Lamentations 2:19, the prophet Jeremiah says, "Arise, cry out in the night at the beginning of the watches. Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands towards him for the life of your young children who faint from hunger at the head of every street." The prophet Jeremiah stood with a broken heart as he watched his beloved people and nation being taken into captivity. When people turn from God, the children always suffer. He watched as those who were young and ...

I believe the world is launching its final assault against the Lordship of Jesus Christ and His people. This world is succumbing to the lower nature planted in humanity in the Garden of Eden. Satan sowed a seed in humanity through our first parents, Adam and Eve. The seed that he sowed was the thought that we could be godly without God, and in ourselves, we can determine what is good and what is evil. The seed that was sown was that we don't need the Word of God to govern our futures; somehow, w...

If you've opened your heart to God, He has cleansed you. You don't have the right to call yourself unclean any longer. You no longer have the right to disagree with God because you are not God in this area of your life. Jesus Christ went to the cross, He shed his blood, He died for you. If you've opened your heart to Him, He has cleansed you. The Bible says that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The Bible says that you are as clean as Christ Himself. You are clean despite all you...

Seeing young people living for God gives me such hope for the future. They're the ones who will be the testimony that God is going to raise in this generation to prove that He is, indeed, God. As young people adopt God's plan and lay aside what would keep them in mediocrity, they will come into a supernatural life. When I say supernatural, I mean that it will be a supernatural strength that will cause them to do things they couldn't do through their strength or abilities. God will give them the ...

Acts 8: 29–31: “Then the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go near and overtake this chariot.’ So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.” I get so wrapped up in my thoughts that I've become oblivious at times to the questions in people's hearts. How about you? God knows who is seeking truth and a way out of darkness. It should be the...

In Philippians 4:13, Paul says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I returned from vacation to find a jury duty notification in my mailbox. To be honest with you today, it's about as refreshing as a mouthful of sand. I sit here in the jury waiting room hoping, and yes, praying, that my name will not be called. After all, I have to be in Ohio in a few days, and I'm doing radio on Wednesday. What if there is a divine purpose to all of this? All things do work together for goo...

I want to remind you that God never calls us where we are comfortable. He never calls us where our natural skill set would take over. We would begin to do things as we think they should be; it's really that simple. We would rely on something other than God and start depending on our natural abilities. God will call us into an uncomfortable place where He has to equip us to perform what only He can do in and through our lives. Others can witness His glory when He does it this way. It's for us to ...

God has a plan for your life. He has bigger plans than the thoughts you have about yourself. He wants to affect the world around you in a way that perhaps you haven't even considered. Now, you might have a plan that isn’t bad, but what if it's not God's plan? What if it falls short of the glory of what God wants to reveal about Himself through you? Do you want what God says about you to be what you say about yourself? Are you willing to let your plans go and embrace God's plan for your life? Wou...

When God told Noah that He would judge the world, He could have done it in a day. Instead, He waited decades for judgment. He sent Noah to build a testimony of His mercy. He called that society out of darkness and into life, but unfortunately, they rejected it. They thought their lives could go on forever and it would only get better. It seems like we've reached that point in history again where this generation thinks they no longer need God; they're now believing in their own truths. However, G...

Proverbs 3:25, in the King James translation, says: "Be not afraid of sudden fear." Sudden fear happens when we're surprised by news or events we didn't expect to happen when our day began. It can hit us as suddenly as an earthquake hits an unsuspecting city—an unexpected confrontation, a cell phone call, a doctor's report. Each of them can shake our foundation and cause us to begin to crumble inwardly. However, God tells us that when our minds and hearts are focused on the promises He has made ...

I'm concerned today. It's not right that God is not being glorified throughout the earth. It's not right that God's people are intermixing with the ways of this world, and there seems to be no demarcation of who is from God and who is not. We are supposed to glorify the name of Jesus Christ on the Earth. As the people of God, we must make a difference. We shouldn't be living in compromise. We should be standing as a part of God's army. We need to be making a difference in our generation. We must...

Acts 19:15–16 says, “And the evil spirit answered and said, ‘Jesus, I know, and Paul, I know, but who are you?’ Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house, naked and wounded.” I have a bit of advice for someone today. Before you run around using the name of Jesus, make sure you have a real relationship with Him. Ensure you've confessed your sin and received Him as the one who died for your wrongs. Make...

When we pray, we always assume that we know what we need. Have you ever thought we should start our prayers by asking God what we should pray? We often ask Him for things we think we need or want, but the Lord knows every circumstance we will face. So we should ask Him to prepare us for what's ahead. He knows if we'll need courage deep in faith, wisdom, provision, protection, or even the ability to forgive. We might not know what we must face tomorrow, but we can ask an all-knowing God what we n...

I want you to know that God has been preparing His people for a specific purpose for these times. He is calling a mighty army to its feet. God's calling us to walk in the supernatural power He's willing to provide us. On our part, we must be willing to be sent in His name and do what He calls us to do. We must pray that God will also help those who aren't anticipating that He will use them because of their concerns. When we pray, God begins to move in individuals' hearts, and they begin to be co...

Exodus 1:8–9: "Now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, ‘Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we are.’” In Luke 16:8, Jesus says, “For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.” What an incredible statement. In the first verse, the enemies of God's people knew something about them that they had forgotten about themselves. How about you? Do you know that in C...

In Romans 8:18, the Apostle Paul says, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Sometimes we spend so much time looking down in despair and looking ahead with trepidation that we forget to look up to the beautiful promises that await us forever. Paul declares that if we could fully grasp this, it would unfocus us from our present trouble and bring gladness to our hearts—just at the thought of what and wh...

Acts 3:19 says: "Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Jesus Christ came to set us free. But to be free, we have to want to be free. He came to change us, but we have to want to change. We can't just sit here and make peace with our sins. It just doesn't work that way. According to the Bible, sin separates from God, and the wages of sin are still death and will forever be death. The only way out...

Read about the promises of God and trust that by the power of the Holy Spirit within you, you will become the person that God has destined you to be. Trust that He will give you the giftings you need to do what you're called to do and open the doors for you to walk where He is asking you to go. You are the plan of God for this generation, and you can trust Him to equip you to do what He's asking you to ...

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jesus Christ was the sinless, spotless lamb of God. He came into this world full of anger, depression, addiction, violence, and selfishness. He immersed Himself in the dirty waters of our failures. He led us from hopelessness to a cross where He triumphed over these powers of darkness and destroyed the power of sin, death, and the grave. He c...

For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught." There is much to be afraid of today. Jesus warned us that fear would be one of the predominant characteristics of the final days of this world. Despite this caution, He promises to be the source of our confidence and strength in such times. Let your thoughts today be about His victory and promise...

Lamentations 3:22–23 says, “Through the Lord's mercies, we are not consumed because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.” In the well-known hymn, “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” one of the most inspiring lines says, “Morning by morning new mercies I see.” Aren't you thankful for that? The song tells us that failure the previous day is met by mercy the next morning. It makes every day the day that the Lord has made. Don't let yesterday's mistakes define y...

Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them.” We need to ask the Lord to give us an anointing of faith as we've never known before because there are mountains in our society today t...

Psalm 133 begins: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." The verses tell us that there are great blessings when we choose unity. There's no power in division, and when we allow ourselves to be divided, we bring weakness into our ranks and the testimony of Christ. Let's stop caring about what name is on our church door and begin to walk as one body in Christ. If we believe in Jesus Christ and have trusted Him alone for our salvation, we are indeed one f...

Why do we put an asterisk on God's promises? His promises don’t have caveats. We don't need a mountain of faith to receive answers. I would never lay claim to ever having had a mountain of faith. Sometimes my prayers are an accusation. Sometimes they're full of unbelief according to the scriptures. Sometimes I want to believe, and sometimes I do. The wonderful thing is that God answers all of it simply because He's good. We tend to want to make prayer something it was never meant to be. When God...

As Christians, we encountered things we've embraced that might have satisfied us. We believed it for a season, but when we came closer to it, we realized that it wasn’t helping. It could have been education. It could have been a relationship or material things. But when you approach it, you find it has deceptive power, and it's not what your life is called to be in God. Jesus gives us authority against things that hinder us and bring no satisfaction or benefit to our future. If something offers ...
