Luke 22:40: Speaking of Jesus, “When He came to the place, He said to them, ‘Pray that you may not enter into temptation.’” There are many things that are tempting this generation. The list is just too long to name, but in this moment, it wasn’t a temptation of lust or addiction that Jesus was referring to. The temptation for the disciples was to abandon the divine purpose that God had for each of their lives. Pray, Jesus exhorted them. Pray that you don’t quit. Pray that you don’t turn away whe...

All around the world, the Holy Spirit is delivering the same message to the body of Christ—Jesus Christ is coming soon. Many people are beginning to believe that our generation will witness the rapture of the church and the return of Christ, especially now as we see the world unraveling quickly and insanity taking over. It’s truly incredible. I never thought I would live to see a day like this. After being in New York City for almost 30 years, the degeneracy of this society is mind-boggling. The...

Everyone has a middle story, and many of you are living in yours right now. You’ve moved past the initial romance phase of your new faith in Christ—just like a newlywed couple who initially overlook each other’s flaws. But over time, little habits, like socks on the bathroom floor, reveal areas that need growth. David, too, had a middle story filled with challenges. This phase teaches us to love God and trust Him as we face valleys and enemies in our lives. Even in tough times, remember that adv...

God is not just going to set you free from fear—He will take you even farther than you asked. He will put you on a path that brings glory to His name. Don’t let it become complicated. Just acknowledge in your heart that Jesus died to save you. Then invite Him into your life and ask Him to forgive you. It can be as simple as saying: “Jesus, thank You for dying for me. I want You to be my Savior, and now I want to live for You.” Then talk to Him and share your desires for your future. Tell Him tha...

Hebrews 12:1-2: Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin, which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who, for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. What was the joy that was set before Him? The joy is that he saw you turning...

Acts 4:29-31 – “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. So many today are asking for power for themselves, but this self-focus is of...

Throughout the years at Times Square Church, I have witnessed countless individuals entering our gatherings, often overwhelmed by God’s presence. It is truly a beautiful sight to behold—a diverse assembly of people from over a hundred nations coming together in unity. In a world where many of our home countries are embroiled in conflict, here, we find peace. We can sit side by side—even with those from nations we may be at odds with—and we worship together. This is truly something to be thankful...

We are living in a society that is rapidly becoming hostile toward believers in Jesus Christ. Today, it seems almost permissible to express hatred toward Christians. I regret to say that our culture is quickly turning against those who follow Christ. However, remember this—the middle of your story is not the end. No matter the challenges you face today, the conclusion of your journey is a glorious finish filled with hope and victory. Thank God today for His promises. Stand firm in your faith des...

Philippians 3:12-15 – The apostle Paul acknowledges that he hasn’t yet reached the place where God is calling him to its fullest, but he continues to press on toward the purpose for which he has been called. Paul understands that God has a specific plan for his life, and his role is to cooperate with it. He doesn’t need to analyze it or figure out how it will happen—he simply needs to accept it and allow God to work through him. Paul admits that he hasn’t fully achieved what God has in store for...

Matthew 17:4 – “Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.’” Many people want more of God, but they don’t want their world to be shaken. They enjoy their jobs, their churches, their routines—seeking more of God but hesitant to leave their place of comfort. It’s like the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration, who said, “Lord, it’s so good for us to be here!” They d...

Psalm 33:11-12 – “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.” We ask ourselves today: What does it mean to be blessed in this context? God blesses a people who desire righteousness—who long to see right living as He does. A blessed nation is one that is willing to humble itself, putting God’s will above its own desires. A blessed nation seeks God’s guidance in all...

I want to remind you today that your faith, joy, and victory in your circumstances can have a profound impact on those around you. Many people in similar situations often believe that their happiness lies in escaping their current circumstances. They think that change is the key to finding joy. However, when you choose to praise God and embrace where you are, you bring a glimpse of God’s presence into the lives of others. Suddenly, they realize that victory and joy can be found right where they ...

When I gave my life to Christ as a police officer, I found it strange that some of my colleagues accepted me when I was living recklessly. But once I began to live truthfully and work hard, I suddenly faced opposition and encountered enemies I had never faced before. If you’re questioning your journey and wondering why things are not as you imagined, know this—difficulties are part of the Christian life. You will face challenges and opposition, but these things do not define your story. Our curr...

I want to remind you today that you and I are not called to live for ourselves. Those who preach a gospel that says the cross of Jesus Christ is solely about self are presenting a different Christ and a different gospel. This is not the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to live our lives for the benefit of others. It’s not just about us. While it is true that God blesses us, helps us, delivers us, and sets us free, there is a divine purpose behind it all. We are not called to isolate o...

John 3:19 – “And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.” There will be people who only realize in the darkness that they do not have light. They have a Jesus they built around their own righteousness, around what they think He should look like, act like, and speak like. But there is a problem with that Jesus—He doesn’t shine in the dark because He is not the real Jesus. When trials come, Jesus will...

Isaiah 40:29-31 – “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Do you feel like you’re about to spiritually crash and burn? The word “wait” in this scripture doesn’t mean to sit idly, passing time. It means to inte...

In the Bible, the apostle Paul said that he and his companions had experienced immense pressure and despair in Asia. They felt as if death was looming over them and reached a point where their only hope was to trust in Christ. They had exhausted all their own strength and had to rely completely on God just to survive. Let me assure you, my brothers and sisters, that the Christian life is not without its difficulties. You will undoubtedly face storms and trials. You’ll encounter ungodly influence...

If you weren’t where you are today, who would testify about Jesus Christ there? Did you know that God has purposefully placed you exactly where you are? Whether it’s in a kitchen with other dishwashers, in a classroom, or in any industry—or even outside of one—your presence has a divine purpose. There needs to be a testimony of God’s goodness everywhere in society. You and I are called to be salt and light in every place we go, not just hidden or confined to selective spaces.

Our human nature often leads us to believe that true happiness lies somewhere else—somewhere beyond our present circumstances. We tend to think the grass is always greener on the other side, only to realize that true fulfillment can be found right where we are.

It’s about recognizing that God has placed you where you are ...

Many people often feel inadequate and weak when it comes to obeying God. They may believe their strength is limited and struggle to fulfill their calling. However, God assures us that He has already prepared an open door for each of us. We don’t have to search for it or struggle to find it—it will come to us in due time. All we need to do is have the courage to walk through that door when it opens and keep moving forward. God sets before us a series of doors, and our task is simply to step throu...

The apostle Paul firmly believed that nothing in heaven or on earth could separate him from the love of God.

Paul’s commitment to glorify God remained unshakable, regardless of his circumstances or understanding. He sought God’s presence and did not look for an easy way out. Let’s follow Paul’s example today and choose to glorify God in every situation, seeking His presence and strength rather ...

Don’t let your weakness diminish your awareness of the depth of God’s love for you. If only you knew how truly loved you are by God!

Then, we will fully understand the meaning of: “For God so loved the world.” We will grasp how precious we are in His sight—how He covers us in our failures, insecurities, and moments of ...

If we don’t have faith, every time we face storms and trials, we will be easily moved to fear. He is sending us on a mission—to set captives free, to come against the powers of darkness, and to speak with authority to prison doors so that they ...

I want to encourage you never to believe the lie that you do not deserve mercy. It's important to understand that mercy is not about being worthy or deserving. It cannot be earned or paid for by our good deeds or actions. It's simply an act of God's grace and compassion. I believe that God seeks individuals willing to receive His mercy. If you believe the lie you're unworthy, I want to tell you that is false. Jesus said He did not come for the righteous but to call sinners to repentance. Let go ...
