Agree with Your Adversary

In Matthew 5:25–26, Jesus said these words: “Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.” In this passage, we see that we must quickly agree with our enemy but then advance towards Jesus. Admitting failure or sin is okay, but don't linger there. If we wallow, our adversary soon becomes our judge, and that judgment leads to a prison. We must quickly remind...

Personally Seek Gods Presence

The spirit of lawlessness, perversion, and insatiable lust is driving people through the streets, causing them to seek new and cheap thrills constantly. There's a spirit of false worship and a belief among people that they know what the truth is. This lawlessness is so pervasive in the world today. We need God's presence to come again and make a difference. I can't pray that for you or anyone else. The Holy Spirit will only come if you genuinely desire Him and invite Him to take over your life. ...

Seek A Fresh Annointing

We live in really dark times, and today, we need a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit of God. We need His empowerment to impact our generation. I pray for courage and the manifestation of God's glory in our lives. We must pray for the Holy Spirit to break the chains and open doors in our society, schools, and workplaces. We can't sit on the sidelines any longer. Let’s ask for a spiritual awakening in our nation and a mighty move of God in our cities and churches. Together, let's actively pursue ...

May We Not Loose Sight

It's disheartening to see churches no longer invite people to receive Christ's salvation. Many have strayed from the true message of redemption. Instead, they focus on their interpretation of truth and engage in good works such as community service or baking cookies for the less fortunate. While these acts are commendable, the crucial opportunity to accept Jesus Christ as Savior is often overlooked. People have lost touch with Him. We can be bold in sharing the message of salvation with others a...

Your Life Is Hidden

In Colossians 3:3, the Apostle Paul says, “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” When we give our lives to God through Jesus Christ, we receive the gift of righteousness. Our sinfulness doesn't make Jesus dark. He swallows up the sin, death, and corruptness in us with His righteousness. It's an imputed righteousness, a gift that can't be earned. By grace, we are cleansed, loved, and accepted. When Jesus comes in, we have hope and a future. His Spirit and light will bring con...

Remind the Enemy

Isaiah 54:17 says, “‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,’ says the Lord.” One of the enemy's main tactics for discouragement is to bring spiritual fatigue and keep us from our appointed places of purpose and calling. He constantly condemns the righteous, pointing out our failures, fears, and shortcomings to diminish our confidence a...

Draw Near To Him

The presence of God in our lives separates us from the people of this world. Just like Moses recognized that the presence of God distinguished the Israelites from others, we, too, need to value and seek God's presence every day. In Ephesus, they lost God's presence without even realizing it. While they still had messengers who preached good doctrine, there was a noticeable absence of God's presence among the people. This place serves as a reminder that we must not only focus on correct doctrine ...

Despite Any Limitations

It's time to look in the mirror and acknowledge God's mercy and grace in your life. Pray for His guidance and ask Him to use your life for His glory. Surrender yourself, knowing He can and will work through you despite any limitations you might have. Start by seeking God’s presence in your home and your marriage. Then, extend your prayers and influence to your family, neighbors, and community. Choose today to commit yourself to the Lord’s purpose and pray for His Holy Spirit to empower you. Take...

There's Always A Fresh Start

It's time for all believers, not just preachers or worship leaders, to rise and let the light of God's presence shine brightly in our lives. We must boldly proclaim our redemption and share our stories with others even if we've fallen short in times past. Remember, with God's mercy, there's always a fresh start. Just like Elijah, we should prioritize God's glory over our safety and comfort despite the criticism and vilification of some in the church. We must have a heart for the lost and be will...

Rising Everytime We Fall

James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” Humility marks a Christian more than anything else in the body of Christ. When Jesus forgives us, we see the truth of who we are apart from Him versus who we are in Him. Amazingly enough, frail humanity can show God's glory. The greatest glory of a Christian life is not never failing. It's rising every time we fall. Proverbs 24:16 says, “A righteous man may fall seven times and seven times rise again.” We don...

Prayer That Moves Mountains

The Bible tells us that if we have faith in God, we can have prayer that can move mountains. It’s an intercession at the throne of God that commands the hills to move and to be cast into the midst of the sea. We can see this prayer power throughout the scriptures. We need to pray today for an anointing of the Holy Spirit that causes us to see the truth about prayer and believe that we can obtain power from God to do these mighty works. We're living in an age of great evil standing before us, and...

Passionately Desire To Make a Difference

We must aspire to have meaning and purpose in our lives. While we may not possess great strength or even remarkable intelligence, and our courage may falter sometimes, we must passionately desire to make a difference. We must ask for guidance, protection, and transformation. We must allow the Lord God to take hold of our lives and use us for His glory. We are called to be living examples of God's power, starting inside our homes, marriages, and families and extending to our neighbors, communitie...

A Prayer for This Thanksgiving

So many families sit around the table on Thanksgiving, cutting each other up instead of the turkey. Why don't you pray that God gives you the strength to make a difference? Choose to forgive instead of holding old grievances. Overlook the slights that people may bring your way because of past or present disagreements. With your faith in Christ, speak in a manner that will bring calm into the room and not further the division that the Devil wants to bring into your home. Your words matter. You ca...

The Presence of God

As Moses said, without God's presence, we're no different from those around us. In the Church of Ephesus, the people of that time lost God's presence and didn't even realize it. They still had good preachers and maybe sound doctrine, but there was a spiritual dryness. It's all because they walked away from Jesus, not because He walked away from them. We need to examine our lives and our churches. Are we relying on God's presence or just going through the motions today? Let's seek a genuine relat...

Choose To Open The Door

In the book of Revelation, Jesus told one of the churches, “I stand at the door and knock.” He invited people to open the door and let Him into their lives again. If we open the door, Jesus promises to come in and have close fellowship with us, including providing for our needs, spending time with us, and guiding us daily. However, it's important to note that we have a role in this process. We can open the door from the other side and invite Jesus in. We must keep pressing forward, seeking our S...

We Have To Stop Limiting God

Isaiah 55:8–9 says, “‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,’ says the Lord. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.’” The ways of God are not our ways. When we study the Bible, we see that God waits until there's no possible way that we can accomplish what He calls us to do in our strength. He waits until the womb is barren, then brings forth the baby who becomes a prophet to the nation. ...

A Man Just Like You And Me

Elijah was a man like you and me who experienced our passions and struggles. He faced moments of despair and, at one point, even asked God to take his life. Elijah aligned himself with the Spirit of God and began to walk in lockstep with Him. In bold faith, Elijah prayed for God to stop the rain for the people's sake. He wanted to break the power of deception, which manifested as lawlessness, perversion, and insatiable lust consuming that moment in history. In the same way, we can seek God's pre...

Trust That He Will Provide

In the Bible, Jesus instructed Peter to go to the sea and catch a fish and said he would find a coin in its mouth to pay for their taxes. This story demonstrates the supernatural provision when we choose to walk with God. It's a reminder that, as believers, we are equipped with words of wisdom and spiritual gifts to meet our needs and testify to God's provision to others. Embrace the Lord's supernatural provision by seeking His guidance and direction in every aspect of your life. Trust that He w...

Send The Fire

God chooses to display His power through us. We're the altar upon which the fire descends and the sacrifice upon which the fire falls. We are the ones who will demonstrate God's glory and power in this generation. We cry out to God, “Send the fire. Send the fire.” Like Elijah, we've done everything within our knowledge and ability, but the one thing we can't do is send the fire to God's hands. We can build the altar, prepare the wood, lay the sacrifice, and even gather the people, but without Hi...

Let's Ask God

God loves every person and desires for us all to come to know Christ. Let's align our hearts with His and ask Him to display His power through us. Let's ask the Lord to consume our lives and take us to a new place. We need more of God than we ever have before. Let's ask Him to stretch forth His hand and start bringing forth healing, freedom, sight to the blind, and the revelation of the riches of Heaven to the poor. Let's ask God to heal the brokenhearted and transform this generation. The day m...

It's Been A Miraculous Journey

Mark 10:27 says, “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.’” I came to Christ at 24, and it's been an amazing and miraculous journey. It has taken me to places worldwide and allowed me to do things I could never have naturally done for God’s glory. Many people are sitting where I once sat. I wasn't raised in the church, but I remember sitting in church one day and hearing this scripture verse. I was on the edge of my s...

Each of Us Has A Hill

I have a challenge for you today. We don't just need formulas or singing anymore. What we truly need is the presence of the Holy Spirit. We need hearts that obey God and live willing to align with His will. Each of us has a hill where we may have been afraid to go or plant our banner. It's different for every person, but we and everyone who knows Christ are called to be public witnesses. We're called to let our light shine so that others may see our good works and glorify our Father, who is in H...

Let's Live Out Our Values

The Bible tells us that the wages of sin are still death, and we still have an enemy that is corrupting our society. Like Sodom, there are very few consequences for crime anymore. People steal without repercussion. We must not be deceived into thinking that those without God are righteous. Without God, society can sink into depravity that has never before been seen. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit restrains evil. Let’s be a voice for righteousness and challenge this darkness. Let's live out our valu...

My Prayer

I pray for God to visit us again and bring about a spiritual awakening in this generation. We must ask Him to reveal Himself to this dark and deceived generation. We must acknowledge the perversion and lies that children are being exposed to from a very young age. We must cry out to God and ask Him to send us to be a testimony of His power. Like Elijah, who obeyed God's instructions and rebuilt the altar, we must be willing to do whatever God asks of us, even if it means sacrificing our freedom ...

Veterns Day

Ephesians 6:10–13 says, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having do...

Love Your Enemies

In Matthew 5:43–45, Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” We're given the commandment to love our enemies and to look for opportunities...

Aknowledging Our Failures

An insatiable hunger arises when we allow God to use our successes and failures as a testimony of His glory. If we only present perfection to this generation, they'll say, “Well, I can't aspire to that.” Alternatively, we can be transparent and say, “Look, I have my faults too. I have struggled and faced trials along the way. I've even questioned God's faithfulness, and I've accused Him of being unfaithful to me.” By acknowledging our shortcomings, we can also share about God's mercy, grace, goo...

The Banner

Isaiah 59:19 says, “When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” This standard is a banner that represents when God Himself enters the fight. It's a symbol of victory and a gathering point for His people. In the last days, we are called to rally for the banner, which is the cross of Calvary. Let's stand firm in our faith and get together with fellow believers, knowing God is with us. Let's embrace the call to the banner; it’s time for us to m...

It's About A Greater Cause

How far are we willing to go for the sake of souls in our generation? Often, our prayers revolve around our personal needs and desires. While it's important to bring our requests to God, there comes a point of maturity where we must shift our focus. We need to begin praying for college students who are influenced by false ideologies. We need to intercede for our young children who hear inappropriate teachings. We need to stand in prayer for middle schoolers who are prohibited from praying and hi...

Ultimately, It's Not About Us

As Paul Apostle once said, God takes us in our weakness, not because we are strong. Using us as we are demonstrates His power through our lives. Therefore, we shouldn't boast about our strength. Instead, we must acknowledge our weaknesses and then rely on Him. God has a message for this generation, and we should pray for the ability to hear it and the courage to speak it. Let's ask God to help us convey His message without exaggeration and instead with simplicity. Let's also pray for the grace t...
