“But if I say, ‘I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,’ his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.” (Jeremiah 20:9)
Being “on fire for the Lord” is more than just an expression; it’s a passionate commitment to live out our faith boldly and authentically. Jeremiah, the prophet, experienced this divine fire within him—a compelling urge to share God’s message, even when faced with opposition and suffering. His words remind us that when God’s truth ignites our hearts, it cannot be contained.
This fire is fueled by our relationship with God through prayer, worship, and the study of His Word. In moments of intimacy with the Father, our hearts are stirred, and we are reminded of His goodness, love, and power. Just as a fire spreads warmth and light, so too does our passion for Christ radiate to those around us.
When we are on fire for the Lord, we become vessels of His love and truth. Our enthusiasm can inspire others, leading them to seek the source of our hope. It challenges us to step outside our comfort zones, to serve those in need, to share the gospel, and to be a light in the darkness.
However, maintaining this fervor requires intentionality. Life’s challenges, distractions, and weariness can dampen our spiritual flame. We must regularly feed our fire through consistent prayer, fellowship with other believers, and acts of service.
Spend a few moments in silence, asking God to reveal any areas of your life where your fire for Him may have dimmed. Write down one or two steps you can take this week to stoke that fire and share it with others.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, ignite a fire in my heart that cannot be extinguished. Help me to grow in my relationship with You, so that Your love and truth overflow from my life. Give me the courage to share Your message and to serve others with passion and joy. May my life be a testimony of Your grace and power. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” (John 15:15)
In a world where friendships can often feel superficial or conditional, it’s a profound comfort to know that Jesus calls us His friends. This relationship is not based on what we can offer Him, but on His unconditional love and grace toward us. When we think of Jesus as our friend, we realize that we have someone who truly understands us, supports us, and desires to walk with us through every season of life.
Imagine the kind of friendship that Jesus offers. It is one filled with trust, understanding, and unwavering support. He knows our struggles and our joys, and He invites us to share our hearts with Him. In times of trouble, we can turn to Him, knowing that He is always there, ready to listen and provide comfort.
“How can you cultivate you friendship with Jesus today? What steps can you take to share His love with others?”
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank You for being my friend. Thank You for inviting me into a relationship that’s built on love and trust. Help me to deepen this friendship by spending time in Your Word and in prayer. May I always remember that I can come to You with anything on my heart. Teach me to reflect Your friendship to others and to be a source of love and support in their lives as You are in mine. Amen.

“As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.’ Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:36-37 )
I have had the opportunity to speak with and pray for those who are in the midst of monumental life challenges. It might be unemployment, eviction, addiction, separation, divorce or even facing death. Whatever it is, for those going through it, it seems the problem are as large as Mount Everest. One thing I’ve noticed is that those who dare to take on mountains often triumph while those who survey the towering heights and presume defeat…
The Colossal cliffs in life that we face teach the deepest lessons – the kind you never forget.
“And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.” (Genesis 22:8)
From the stable to the sacrifice, Jesus knew His mountain. Awaiting Him at the top were false accusation, humiliation, torture, pain, suffering and death on a cross. For us, our Savior clenched His jaw and pressed forward. Jesus made the greatest climb to Calvary.
Willingly, Jesus took that climb step by step. He knew what was waiting, and He went. It was His joy to do so. He did it to purchase you and change your destiny. Because Jesus made His ascent, we can climb our mountains with victory in hand. The next time you see a mountain looming in the distance, remember, you’re a conqueror. With Jesus, you will take that hill.
“Dear Problem, My God Is Bigger! – Don’t try to climb your mountain without Jesus.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, We love You and praise you Lord in all circumstances. Thank You for loving me first. It is through You that I do not have to fear the difficulties of this world and that I have everything I need for the challenges of life. Please forgive me for times when I’ve stalled in the face of trials instead of relying on You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Do you want to experience the kind of Peace and Love that is only found in Jesus? Jesus died on the cross for you. He loves you and wants to help you. He wants to bring peace in your life.

In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. He had seven sons and three daughters, and he owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred donkeys, and had a large number of servants. He was the greatest man among all the people of the East.
His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom.
One day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
“Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing. (Job 1:1-22)
The story of Job is one of the most profound narratives in the Bible, illustrating the struggle of faith amid suffering. Job was a man described as “blameless” and “upright,” who feared God and turned away from evil. Yet, despite his righteousness, he faced unimaginable trials—loss of wealth, the death of his children, and debilitating illness.
In the midst of his suffering, Job’s faith was tested to its limits. His friends came to offer what they thought was comfort, but their words often led to more pain. They believed suffering was a direct result of sin, yet Job maintained his innocence. He cried out to God, expressing his anguish and confusion. Despite his turmoil, Job never cursed God; instead, he questioned and sought understanding.
Job’s faith was not a blind acceptance of his circumstances; it was a deep trust in God’s sovereignty. He declared, “Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him; I will surely defend my ways to His face” (Job 13:15). This statement embodies the essence of faith—trusting God even when life feels unbearable.
As we reflect on Job’s unwavering faith, we are reminded that our struggles do not define our relationship with God. Like Job, we may face trials that test our faith, but it is in these moments that we have the opportunity to grow closer to Him.
When you encounter hardships, remember that questioning God is not a sign of weak faith; it’s a pathway to deeper understanding. Pour out your heart to Him, as Job did, and seek His presence in your pain. Trust that God has a purpose, even when circumstances seem bleak.
“Spend a few moments in silence, reflecting on your own challenges. What questions do you have for God?“
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the example of Job and his unwavering faith. Help me to trust You in my times of trial, knowing that You are with me in my suffering. Teach me to seek You in my questions and to find peace in Your presence. May my faith be strengthened through my struggles, and may I always turn to You as my refuge and strength. Amen.

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
In the whirlwind of modern life, it’s all too easy to become engulfed by feelings of anxiety concerning our various needs and aspirations. Whether we seek financial security, emotional reassurance, or spiritual wisdom, we often find ourselves on a relentless quest for satisfaction, sometimes in places that leave us wanting more. Yet, the profound promise found in Philippians serves as a comforting reminder that our Heavenly Father is fully aware of our requirements and possesses the boundless ability to fulfill them.
The provisions from God manifest in countless ways—ranging from direct blessings that overflow into our lives to subtle gifts that appear in unexpected forms. It is vital for us to nurture a spirit of trust and gratitude, acknowledging that He understands our needs even before they cross our minds. When we embrace this divine truth, we can discover a profound sense of peace, even in the face of uncertainty and lack.
1. In what ways have you recently experienced God’s provisions, both big and small?
2. Are there specific aspects of your life where you find it challenging to surrender control and trust in His perfect timing?
3. What practical measures can you take to deepen your reliance on God rather than solely depending on your own wisdom and resources?
As you journey through your day, hold onto the assurance that God is continually at work in your life, often in ways that remain hidden from our immediate view. He cares for you deeply, and His commitment to providing for you is unwavering. Trust in Him, and remain open to the myriad of ways He may choose to unfold His plans for your life. As you do, you will find joy in the knowledge that you are never alone and that your needs are known and met by a loving and generous God.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for Your unwavering promise to meet my every need. Enlighten my spirit to trust in Your flawless timing, and help me to recognize the myriad of blessings that surround me each day. May I turn to You in times of doubt, reminding myself that You are my ultimate source of provision and strength. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.

“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” (Jeremiah 31:3)
We may think sometimes that we must do certain things to merit the love of God. But what we need to remember is that the love of God is consistent, and it is persistent. God says, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you”
What a contrast when we compare the love of God to the so-called love of the world we live in. Our culture loves you when you are young and beautiful, but God loves you when you are old and not so attractive. Our world loves you when you are a celebrity, but God loves you when you are unknown and a complete nobody. Our world loves the rich and the powerful, but God loves the poor and the weak. Our world loves the extraordinary, but God loves the ordinary, people like you and me. And God has demonstrated this love for us in a tangible way.
Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13).
Jesus, showing His love, died for us. We read in (Revelation 1:4-5), “Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood.”
Notice the use of the past tense, which means that it is done. If you have put your faith in Christ, then God has forgiven you through Christ for all of the wrong you have done. God loves you. He has loved you. And He always will love you.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I praise You for the amazing love You have shown me. Thank you for the people that you have brought into my life that exhibit the love of Christ as well. Help me to grasp this love so that I will be able to love others in the same way. Strip me of any excuses and use me to reach others with the love of Jesus. In His name, Amen.
Don’t have Jesus in your life? Don’t put off Experiencing His Ultimate Love
Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20)
The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13)
If you have not asked Jesus into your life you can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.
Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.
If you have done this, then congratulations! (Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Saviour the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that He answered your prayer.

Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. (Romans 6:3-4)
Immersion is a powerful concept in the Christian faith, symbolizing our full identification with Christ. When we think of baptism, we often envision the act of being submerged in water, which represents a profound transformation. Just as Jesus was buried and resurrected, our immersion signifies the death of our old selves and the birth of a new life in Him.
Being immersed in Christ means more than just a physical act; it is an invitation to dive deeply into our relationship with Him. It calls us to surrender our lives fully, allowing His presence to envelop us. This immersion brings about a radical change in our thoughts, behaviors, and priorities. We are called to live out our faith boldly, reflecting the love and grace that Christ has shown us.
Consider the areas in your life where you might be holding back. What does it mean for you to immerse yourself completely in Christ? Perhaps it involves letting go of past hurts, embracing forgiveness, or stepping out in faith.
Take a few moments to reflect on your relationship with Christ. How can you deepen this connection? Consider journaling your thoughts or speaking to God about any areas where you desire to experience His transformative power more fully. Remember, immersion is not a one-time event but a continual journey of growing closer to Him.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, Thank You for the precious gift of baptism, a beautiful testament to Your grace and love. I am grateful for the reminder that I am buried with You and raised to new life, a life full of hope and purpose. Lord, help me to immerse myself fully in Your love and truth each day. Teach me to seek You in every moment, to dwell in Your presence, and to find strength in Your Word.
Guide me to live out my faith authentically, reflecting Your light in a world that often feels dark and uncertain. Help me to be a vessel of Your love, compassion, and grace to those around me. May my actions and words bring glory to Your name and inspire others to seek a deeper relationship with You.
Lord, remind me daily that I am a new creation in You. Help me to let go of past burdens and fears, and to embrace the freedom that comes from living in Your truth. Fill my heart with joy and peace as I navigate life’s challenges, knowing that I am never alone.
Thank You for Your unwavering presence in my life. May I continually strive to grow closer to You, to understand Your will for me, and to share Your love with others. In Jesus’s name, who makes all things new, I pray. Amen.
Chech out my newest song, “Immersion.” Hope you enjoy!

“And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you” (Deuteronomy 7:15)
Our Father God is not the author of sickness and disease. He is the author of health and well-being. Our Father is looking for ways to bring healing to us and not take it away from us. When we do a good study of the scriptures you will find over and over that our God is a God who heals His children.
The Bible states that Jesus and the Father are one and everywhere that Jesus went as He walked this earth, He never once put a sickness on someone. NO! He went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. So we see that sickness is from the devil and it came at the fall.
When satan came and brought fear into this world and all its deadly works, God sent Jesus to destroy all of them for us. What a Father we serve. He is the Great I Am, not I Want To Be. He is at work in us, helping us and guiding us to bring a cure. Do you really think that the devil would give us doctors and nurses and people that can help us?
You see if it was up to the devil he would keep us sick and miserable. But our Father has given us healing through His Word. He has given great medicines and doctors, all because He loves us and wants us well.
So today, don’t accept anything from the devil. Accept everything that is good and comes from God your Heavenly Father Who loves you and gave His all for you. Learn His ways and the light will always expose the darkness of the devil.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come before you today in need of your healing hand. In you all things are possible. Hold my heart within yours, and renew my mind, body, and soul. In the midst of chaos, I am lost, but I am singing. You gave us life, and you also give us the gift of infinite joy. Give me the strength to move forward on the path you’ve laid out for me. Guide me towards better health, physically, mentally and spiritually. Give me the wisdom to identify those you’ve placed around me to help me get better In your precious name I pray, Amen

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.” (1 John 4:1-3)
In our journey of faith, we are often confronted with various teachings, ideologies, and influences that seek to shape our understanding of God and His purpose for our lives. The Apostle John urges us to exercise discernment, reminding us that not every voice we hear is aligned with the truth of God’s Word.
“Testing the spirits” is not merely an intellectual exercise; it is a heartfelt commitment to seek God’s truth amid uncertainty. It involves prayer, reflection, and a deep reliance on the Holy Spirit, who guides us into all truth (John 16:13). When we encounter new ideas or teachings, we should ask ourselves: Does this align with the message of Jesus? Does it lead me closer to a relationship with Him?
As we engage with different spirits—whether through conversations, media, or teachings—we must also look inward. Are we open to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Are we grounded in Scripture, allowing it to be our measuring stick for truth?
Take a moment to quiet your heart and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in areas where you may need clarity. Reflect on any teachings or influences you’ve encountered recently and consider how they align with your understanding of Christ.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit, who guides and teaches us. Help us to be discerning as we navigate the many voices in our world. May we always seek to test the spirits against Your Word and the truth of Jesus Christ. Grant us wisdom and clarity, and may our hearts remain steadfast in our commitment to follow You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.” (1 Corinthians 14:33)
sha·lom SHäˈlōm,SHə-/
shalom Used as salutation by Jews at meeting or parting, meaning “peace.”
Peace. That one word is sought after by billions all over this world. Peace of mind. Peace from war. Peace in the midst of suffering. All of us long for peace; unfortunately, many people miss the source of true peace.
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
Many years before the coming of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah spoke the words above. He was proclaiming the coming Messiah who would be the Prince of Peace. The peace that He brings is true Shalom and means far more than our concept of comfort and rest. Shalom describes safety, well being, health, prosperity, peace, rest and wholeness. Shalom is what Christ came to offer. Through Christ, we can find rest from having to work for Heaven. We are made whole in our relationship with God and have security in our salvation. We also have a peace that is available to us in the middle of life’s storms as we learn to trust and walk in obedience to our King. Are you without peace? Seek the Prince of Peace in every area of your life and you will find His Shalom waiting for you in abundance.
“God is a God of Shalom or peace.”
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I praise You for the love You have shown me and the peace You offer me. Father, help me to seek You in everything and to trust You with every area of my life. As I do this, I pray that I would experience Your Shalom. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
