July 20th 2025 – Testimony of Life

“And when Baal-Hanan died, Hadad reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pai. His wife’s name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. Hadad died also. And the chiefs of Edom were Chief Timnah, Chief Aliah, Chief Jetheth, Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom.” (1 Chronicles 1:50-54)

Remembering where you came from and where you are going makes up your individual, one-of-a-kind testimony. There is power in the testimony of your life. Revelation 12 talks about believers overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. So, what if your past does not include the seedier things of life? Well, the Bible is clear that we we were all on a death row sentence. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Through His grace and the faith-gift of God, He saves us. Once saved you are a child of God – a priest and a king. There are two people in the Bible who are called both a priest and king – Jesus and you. Now, you are saved and will spend eternity with God.

In a world that is wracked with fear and uncertainty, people need to hear your testimony. Share it and talk about it. Share not in a prideful or bragging way, but out of the joy of your heart. Your testimony could be the very thing that leads someone else to come to Jesus. It might be what they have been waiting for.

“Remember where you came from, who you are and where you are going.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We love You and Praise You in all circumstances. Thank You for the gift of Your Son. I am so grateful for the grace and mercy You have given me. Lord, I want to be a vessel used to glorify Your name. Give me the boldness to share my testimony without fear and uncertainty. Give me the spirit of humility so that I may be used to minister in the lives of others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Don’t go through life without Jesus. If you do not know Him personally, accept the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us.

May 23rd 2025 – The Gift of Prophecy

1 Reply

“But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouraging, and comfort.” (1 Corinthians 14:3)

Prophecy is often viewed as a mysterious and sometimes daunting aspect of our faith. Many wonder about its relevance in today’s world and whether it is still a gift bestowed upon believers. In the New Testament, prophecy is described as a gift of the Holy Spirit, meant to build up the church and provide guidance.

The essence of prophecy goes beyond foretelling the future; it is about speaking God’s truth into the lives of individuals and communities. Prophets in the Bible, such as Isaiah and Jeremiah, were called to deliver messages that often brought both conviction and hope. Today, we too can be vessels of God’s message, offering encouragement, guidance, and comfort to those around us.

In a world filled with uncertainty and confusion, the prophetic voice can shine brightly, reminding us of God’s promises and faithfulness. When we allow the Holy Spirit to work through us, we can speak life into situations that seem hopeless and remind others of God’s unfailing love.

Take a moment to reflect on your own life. Are there areas where you feel prompted to share a word of encouragement or truth? Pray for discernment, and ask God to guide your heart in being a messenger of His love and hope. Consider keeping a journal of moments where you feel God has spoken to you or through you, recognizing the power of prophecy in your life and the lives of others.

“By speaking God’s truth, we can uplift others, guiding them through difficult times and reminding them of His unwavering love.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of prophecy and the ability to hear Your voice. Help me to be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, that I may share Your truth with those who need it most. May my words bring strength, encouragement, and comfort to others, and may I always seek to glorify You in all that I say. Teach me to listen intently and respond faithfully to Your calling. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

April 14th 2025 – Love to the Extreme

5 Replies

“I blasted you with blight and mildew. When your gardens increased, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees, the locust devoured them; yet you have not returned to Me,” says the LORD. (Amos 4:9)

Throughout Scripture, we often witness the weight of God’s judgments, particularly as Israel and other nations grapple with His power. While these judgments can be sobering, it’s essential to recognize the underlying theme of grace and mercy that permeates the Old Testament. In the words of the prophets, God continually calls His people to turn away from their wrongdoing, offering forgiveness and restoration. Yes, His discipline can appear severe, but His love remains equally profound.

“But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

This is love to the extreme—the God of creation has shown us an unparalleled depth of love. While we were ensnared in sin and burdened by condemnation, He left the splendor of heaven to give His life for ours. The punishment that rightfully belonged to us was laid upon Jesus at the cross. Each nail that pierced His hands was a testament to the forgiveness He offers. Each lash of the whip that struck His body was a step toward our eternal connection with Him. All we must do is approach Jesus in repentance and trust Him for our salvation, entering into the greatest love story ever told.

“God goes to extreme measures to reveal His love for us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge my shortcomings and the wrongs I have committed. Today, I humbly ask for Your forgiveness. I confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that He died for my sins, rising again on the third day. Transform me into a new creation and fill me with Your Spirit, guiding me to live according to Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

April 4th 2025 – Transformation of the Heart

Leave a reply

“If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” (Matthew 5:29-30)

For many years, I viewed these verses through the lens of hyperbole, interpreting them as a call for radical action against the things in our lives that lead us astray. I imagined it as a metaphorical amputation—a drastic measure to remove the sources of sin. While this interpretation holds a semblance of truth, a deeper revelation awaits us, one that is both mind-blowing and transformative.

In the verse preceding this instruction, Jesus reveals a profound truth: “If anyone looks at a woman lustfully, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Here, Jesus is unveiling the root of the issue: our hearts. The Sermon on the Mount emphasizes that our actions are merely manifestations of what resides within us. They are the fruits of a tree, and that tree is our heart.

Consider the plight of a man struggling with lust. He may take the drastic step of cutting off his hand to prevent inappropriate touch. However, he soon realizes that lust is not confined to his hands; it can thrive in his thoughts and desires. So, he gouges out his eye, yet finds no relief. The cycle continues—he cuts out his tongue to silence sinful words, and then his ears to block out seductive sounds. But with each severed limb, he discovers that the root of his sin remains intact.

Herein lies the mind-blowing revelation: Jesus is not merely advocating for the removal of body parts; He is calling for a radical heart transformation. The truth is, no external action can eradicate the sin that resides in our hearts. Our efforts at behavior modification will always fall short unless we invite Jesus to perform the ultimate surgery—removing our hardend and sinful hearts and replacing them with a new heart and spirit. Something only He can do.

In Ezekiel 36, God promises, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”

This is the crux of Christianity—not merely changing our actions, but experiencing a complete transformation from the inside out.

As we reflect on these verses, let us not become entangled in the futile cycle of trying to cut out our sins. Instead, let us surrender our hearts to Jesus, the Great Physician, who has the power to transform us. It is in this radical transformation that we find true freedom and the ability to live a life that is pleasing to God.

“Christianity in not about behavior modification, it’s about Heart Tranformation!“

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the promise of a new heart. I invite Jesus Christ into my life today, recognizing my need for His transformative power. Help me to see the areas where I have relied on my own efforts to change instead of surrendering fully to You. Create in me a clean heart, and renew a right spirit within me. May I embrace the freedom that comes from being transformed by Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

December 28th 2024 – The Depths of His Love

Leave a reply

“But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

In our walk of faith, we often find ourselves grappling with the depths of our shortcomings and the weight of our sins. We may feel unworthy of love, burdened by guilt, or distant from God. Yet, it is in these moments of despair that the true essence of Jesus shines brightest.

Imagine the scene at the cross. Jesus, fully aware of the pain and suffering He would endure, chose to embrace it for our sake. His body was broken, and His blood was shed—not for the righteous, but for the sinners, for you and me. This profound act of love reveals the heart of God: a relentless pursuit of relationship with His creation.

As we meditate on this sacrificial love, let us remember that Jesus did not come to condemn us but to save us. His grace is sufficient, and His mercy is new every morning. In our failures, He whispers words of hope, inviting us to lay down our burdens at His feet and to accept the gift of redemption.

Take a moment to reflect on the areas of your life where you need Jesus’ healing touch. Write down your thoughts, prayers, or any burdens you wish to surrender to Him today.

“The profound love of Jesus, who sacrificed Himself for our sins, demonstrates that we are never beyond His reach. His grace and mercy should serve as a reminder that in our weaknesses, we can find strength and redemption through Him.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your overwhelming love and grace. Help me to understand the depth of Your sacrifice and to accept the forgiveness You freely offer. May I walk in the light of Your love and share that love with others. In my moments of weakness, remind me that I am never beyond Your reach. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

December 24th 2024 – A Christmas Eve Reflection

1 Reply

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)

As we gather on the eve of Christmas, we stand at the threshold of a momentous occasion—the birth of Jesus Christ. This prophecy from Isaiah beautifully encapsulates the wonder of this night. The child, born in the humblest of circumstances, carries titles that speak to His divine nature and purpose: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

In a world often filled with chaos and uncertainty, these titles remind us of the stability and hope that Jesus brings. The “Prince of Peace” speaks to our longing for tranquility in our hearts, homes, and communities. As we reflect on this promise, let us consider the areas of our lives where we need His peace. What fears and anxieties can we lay down at His feet tonight?

Today as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us also be mindful of the call to share that peace with others. In the days leading up to Christmas, we may encounter those who are struggling or feeling lonely. How can we extend the love and comfort of Christ to them? Perhaps through a kind word, a helping hand, or simply by being present.

“May the joy of Christ’s birth fill our hearts and overflow into our interactions with others. Let us be a reflection of His light in the world, sharing the good news that the Savior has come.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as we await the celebration of Your birth, help us to embrace the peace that only You can provide. May our hearts be open to Your counsel, and may we find strength in Your might. Guide us to be vessels of Your love and peace in a world that desperately needs it. Thank You for the incredible gift of Your Son. Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 17th 2024 – Open Our Eyes to Truth

Leave a reply

“Jesus said, ‘For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.’ Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, ‘What? Are we blind too?’ Jesus said, ‘If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.” (John 9:39-41)

Spiritual blindness is a profound condition that many individuals experience, often without being aware of its presence. It signifies an inability to grasp essential spiritual truths and to recognize the active work of God in our lives. In the passage from the Gospel of John, Jesus addresses the Pharisees, who were self-assured in their understanding of the Scriptures yet remained oblivious to their spiritual shortcomings. Their extensive knowledge did not equate to a genuine comprehension of God’s heart and intentions.

When we become overly confident in our ability to see and understand, we risk falling into complacency, relying solely on our own insights and experiences rather than earnestly seeking God’s guidance. This arrogance can lead to a form of spiritual blindness, where we fail to perceive the richness of God’s grace and the depths of His mercy.

The challenge lies in acknowledging that spiritual insight does not come from human wisdom alone; it is a gift from God. The more we claim to possess clarity, the more we must examine whether we are truly in touch with divine truth or merely living in the shadows of our presumption.

Take a few moments of quiet reflection, inviting God to reveal to you any areas of your life where you may be experiencing spiritual blindness. Consider how you can actively seek His wisdom and guidance in your journey, fostering an openness to the transformative truths He wishes to unveil.

“When we rely on our own wisdom, we risk pride and spiritual blindness, missing the depth of God’s grace and mercy.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking illumination for my soul. Open my eyes to the areas of my life where I may be spiritually blind. Grant me the discernment to recognize the powerful truths embedded in Your Word, and help me to sense Your presence in every aspect of my daily life. Instill in me a humble heart that acknowledges my need for Your wisdom, and the grace to pursue a deeper understanding of Your ways. May I never reach a point of self-assuredness that blinds me to the beautiful revelations You desire to share with me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you do not know Jesus personally, Give yourself the greatest gift you could possible ever receive. I encourage you not to pass up the precious gift of His love and eternal life. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves us and wants to help us. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior, please click here

November 16th 2024 – Our Call To Share The Gospel

Leave a reply

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

The act of sharing the Gospel is not merely a suggestion but a profound command issued by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. As believers, we are entrusted with the sacred responsibility of being His representatives on earth, tasked with the mission of proclaiming the joyful news of salvation to everyone we meet. This divine calling may sometimes feel overwhelming, yet we find comfort in the assurance that we are never alone in this endeavor. Jesus promises His continuous presence and support, equipping us through the Holy Spirit to convey His love and truth effectively.

Take a moment to reflect on the individuals who cross your path daily—friends, family members, coworkers, or even acquaintances you encounter. Each interaction presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate Christ’s love and grace.

In the coming week, dedicate time to pray specifically for opportunities to share your faith with someone significant in your life. This may involve inviting them to join you at church, sharing your personal testimony of how Christ has impacted your life, or engaging them in a heartfelt conversation about what Jesus means to you. Remember, each small gesture of sharing can lead to profound changes in the hearts of those around you, potentially guiding them toward a deeper relationship with Christ.

“Sharing the Gospel does not always require some type of formal setting or a sermon; often, it unfolds in the context of genuine conversations, small acts of kindness, and the authentic expression of our faith in everyday life.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the immeasurable gift of the Gospel, which transforms lives and brings hope. I ask for Your guidance as I seek to be a bold and loving messenger of this good news. Grant me the wisdom to articulate my faith and the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. May my actions and words reflect Your love, drawing others closer to Your heart. In jesus’ holy name, Amen.

November 15th 2024- Finding Hope in Grief

Leave a reply

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)

Grief is a deeply personal journey, one that can feel overwhelming and isolating. When we lose someone we love, it’s natural to experience a range of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, and even relief. In these moments, it’s essential to remember that God is near to us, especially when our hearts are broken.

Jesus Himself experienced grief, as seen in John 11:35, where He wept at the death of His friend Lazarus. It’s a powerful reminder that grief is not a sign of weakness but a testament to the love we shared with those we’ve lost.

Action Steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Feelings:

Take time to be honest with yourself about your emotions. Write them down in a journal or express them through prayer.

2. Reach Out:

Don’t hesitate to talk to friends, family, or a spiritual leader. Sharing your feelings can lighten the burden and bring support.

3. Create a Memory Ritual:

Consider creating a special ritual to honor your loved one. This could be lighting a candle, planting a tree, or simply spending time reflecting on the happy memories you shared.

4. Seek Comfort in Scripture:

Spend time reading passages that speak to God’s love and comfort. Psalms and the Gospels are filled with encouragement for those who mourn.

5. Be Patient with Yourself:

Grief doesn’t have a timeline. Allow yourself the grace to heal at your own pace.

As you walk through your grief, remember that God is your refuge. He understands your pain and is there to carry you through the darkest days. Trust in His promise that one day, all tears will be wiped away, and we will be reunited with our loved ones in His eternal presence.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, in my sorrow, I turn to You for comfort and healing. Help me to navigate this painful time with Your grace. Remind me that it’s okay to grieve and that I am not alone in my suffering. May Your presence bring me peace, and may I find hope in the promise of eternal life through Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Do you have a personal relationship with Him? That is the ultimate decision you will have to make. Jesus died on the cross for you and me. He loves you and wants to help you.
