September 28th 2025 – We Are Living in the Last Seconds

“So when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door.” (Matthew 24:33)

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:36-44)

In the rush of daily life, it can be easy to forget the urgency of our calling as Christians. Yet, as we look around us, we see the signs of the times unfolding in remarkable ways, sometimes daily. The world is experiencing unprecedented change, and many are oblivious to the spiritual implications of these events. There are to many examples to list, so I listed the major ones.

Examples of Prophecies Unfolding:

Increase in Natural Disasters: We have witnessed a rise in earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, and wildfires. These disasters remind us of the fragility of life and the importance of being prepared for Christ’s return. (Reference: Matthew 24:7)
Plagues and Pestilence: The emergence of COVID-19 and its profound impact on global health mirrors biblical prophecies of pestilence. Additionally, recently there have been concerns over the resurgence of diseases reminiscent of the Black Plague, highlighting the ongoing reality of such warnings in Scripture. (Reference: Luke 21:11)
Moral Decline: Values that were once held sacred are being challenged, and society is drifting further away from God’s truths. This moral decay echoes the times of Noah, where righteousness was scarce. (Reference: Genesis 6:5)
Global Conflict and Unrest: Nations are rising against nations, and tensions are high in many regions. This aligns with Jesus’ warnings about strife in the last days, urging us to remain vigilant. (Reference: Matthew 24:6)
Technological Advancements: The rapid growth of technology has made communication instantaneous, allowing the Gospel to reach corners of the world that were previously inaccessible. The invention of microchips, which some speculate could be linked to the “mark of the beast,” reflects the escalating pace of prophecy fulfillment. (Reference: Revelation 13:16-18)
Rebuilding of the Temple: Discussions about the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem have intensified, signaling a significant prophetic milestone in the timeline of the end times. This event is pivotal in biblical prophecy and could usher in profound changes in the spiritual landscape. (Reference: Ezekiel 40-43)
Shortening of Days: The Bible speaks of the days being shortened for the sake of the elect. Many are noticing the rapid passage of time, as life seems to accelerate. This serves as a reminder to remain focused on our mission and to live each day with purpose. (Reference: Matthew 24:22)

In light of these developments, we must recognize our responsibility to share the Gospel with urgency. We are not merely observers; we are called to be messengers of hope and truth.

Encouragement to Share the Gospel:

Be Bold in Your Faith: Don’t shy away from conversations about your faith. Share your testimony and how Jesus has transformed your life. Remember, your story can resonate deeply with someone searching for hope.
Use Every Opportunity: Whether it’s at work, school, or in your community, look for opportunities to share the message of salvation. A simple conversation can plant the seeds of faith in someone’s heart.
Pray for Opportunities: Ask God to open doors for you to share the Gospel. Pray for the boldness to speak up when the moment arises.
Engage with Your Community: Get involved in local outreach programs or mission trips. These experiences can strengthen your faith and provide a platform to share God’s love.

As we reflect on the urgency of our time, let us not be like those in the days of Noah, who were caught off guard. Instead, may we be vigilant, faithful, and proactive in delivering God’s message. The clock is ticking, and every moment counts. Let us embrace our role as ambassadors of Christ, sharing the hope of the Gospel until the very last second.

“Let us be watchful and faithful in these last seconds, sharing the light of Christ with urgency, for every moment is a divine opportunity to lead someone to hope.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, recognizing the incredible gift of Your love and grace. In these uncertain times, help us to stay alert and aware of the signs You have given us. Stir in us a deep desire to be Your faithful servants, sharing the light of Christ with those around us.

Lord, give us courage to speak Your truth boldly and compassion to reach out to those who are lost and searching for hope. May we be a source of encouragement and strength to one another in this journey of faith. Help us to embrace every opportunity to share the Gospel, reminding us that time is short and every moment matters.

As we navigate the challenges of this world, let Your peace fill our hearts and guide our actions. We pray for those who have yet to know You, that their hearts may be softened and their eyes opened to Your goodness. We trust in Your perfect timing and sovereignty, knowing that You are always at work.

Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and promise of eternal life. May our lives reflect Your glory as we eagerly await Your return. In the precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

September 25th 2025 – Anchored in Joy: Finding Peace in Christ.

1 Reply

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4-7)

In a world rife with uncertainty and anxiety, the words of Paul in Philippians 4:4-7 serve as a gentle reminder of the peace and joy that can be found in our relationship with Christ. Paul encourages us to “rejoice in the Lord always,” not because our circumstances are perfect, but because our God is. This joy is a choice we can make, rooted in the faith that God is sovereign and loving.

The call to rejoice is followed by an invitation to let our gentleness be evident to all. In a time when harshness and impatience can easily take over, demonstrating gentleness reflects the heart of Christ. As we acknowledge that “the Lord is near,” we can approach our interactions with others through a lens of grace and understanding.

Paul also addresses anxiety—a common struggle for many. He doesn’t dismiss our worries but instead provides a path forward: in every situation, we are to turn to God in prayer. This is both a comfort and a challenge. It invites us to bring all our concerns, big and small, to the Lord. The act of presenting our requests with thanksgiving shifts our focus from our problems to God’s provision and faithfulness.

The promise that follows is profound. When we release our worries to God, His peace—beyond our comprehension—will guard our hearts and minds. This peace is not contingent on our circumstances; it is a gift from God that protects us amidst the storms of life.

As you go about your day, take a moment to reflect on areas where you feel anxious. Consider how you can bring those before God in prayer. Rejoice in the blessings you have, and allow His peace to envelop you. Remember, He is near, and you are never alone.

“Joy is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ, who fills our hearts with peace and guides us through every storm.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the reminder to rejoice always, even in the face of challenges. Help me to cultivate a heart filled with joy, gentleness, and gratitude. Teach me to bring my worries to You, trusting in Your perfect plan. May Your peace guard my heart and mind today and every day. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

September 23rd 2025 – What If Tomorrow Was The End

1 Reply

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness?” (2 Peter 3:10-11)

What if I told you that tomorrow our world was coming to an end? What would become important to you? Would you seek to buy more possessions? Would you spend the time catching up on your favorite TV show? Most likely, you would want to be with those you love or share the message of Jesus with anyone within reach.

While it may not be tomorrow (though it is always a possibility), the Bible assures us that one day, everything we know will change. There will be no more money to collect, careers to build, or earth to stand on. The only things that will remain are those that are eternal.

Money may someday be burned up, but when we give to the Lord, we invest in lives that are transformed for eternity. Similarly, our careers will not last forever, yet when we take a moment to witness to a co-worker, we help forge a relationship that can endure beyond this life. God has created us to be eternal beings, and our greatest purpose is to love Him and enjoy Him forever. The beautiful part is that we don’t have to wait to fulfill that purpose. By loving God and loving others, we begin to invest in eternal things and forever change our world.

“As children of God, we should live for the eternal, not the temporal.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You, acknowledging that I was not created to merely occupy this world. You have greater things for me to accomplish—things that will last for eternity. Open my eyes to the opportunities around me to share Your love and grace with those in need. Inspire me to look beyond this world and be motivated by the hope of what is to come.

For anyone who feels distant from You or is seeking You for the first time, I pray that they may find You in their hearts. If you are ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this with me:

“Dear Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You in my life. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again, and I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Help me to follow You and grow in my relationship with You every day. I commit my life to You. Thank you for loving me and giving me the gift of eternal life.”

Lord, may we all be inspired by the eternal and strive to live in a way that reflects Your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If you have never accepted Gods grace you will never experience true peace in your life. Please read below, or Click Here to learn how and what it means to ask Jeaus into your life . Don’t wait until its too late.

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 lifeYou 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. 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 have sincerely read this prayer and and believe the words true in your heart 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.

Please take a moment to contact me, I would love to pray with you personally for this wonderful new journey you are on.

September 19th 2025 – Spirit World: A Call for Discernment

Leave a reply

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them” (Ephesians 5:11)

“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.” (1 John 4:1)

In the lead-up to Halloween, we are inundated with imagery and symbols that celebrate fear and the supernatural. From spooky decorations to horror films, our culture often glorifies what is dark and demonic. This can desensitize us, especially our children, to the reality of evil spirits and the destructive nature of sin.

As Christians, we must remember that behind these idols and myths lies a spiritual battle. The Bible warns us to be vigilant and discerning. Many in our society have become apathetic toward the spiritual implications of engaging with such themes. This is a call for us to reflect on the consequences of these choices—not just for ourselves but for future generations.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Children are especially impressionable, and the allure of costumes and scary stories can lead them away from the light of Christ. As parents and guardians, it is our responsibility to guide them, emphasizing the importance of a relationship with Jesus, who offers protection and salvation.

Satan and his schemes thrive in a culture that dismisses the seriousness of evil. We must teach our children to recognize the truth of Scripture and the power of Jesus over any dark force. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and we should instill a healthy respect for the spiritual realm, encouraging our families to seek refuge in Christ.

Biblical Application:

Biblical Application: Living in the Light

Call to Action:

Consider finding or organizing a family or community event that focuses on the light of Christ during this Halloween season. Engage in activities that promote faith, such as a harvest festival, a church gathering, or a night of worship, steering clear of the themes that celebrate darkness.

“True strength lies not in the absence of fear, but in the courage to stand firm in faith, embracing the light even when shadows loom.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, as we gather to reflect on the influence of the spirit world around us, we seek Your wisdom and discernment. Help us to recognize the dangers that lurk in the shadows of our culture, especially as Halloween approaches. May we be vigilant and protect our families from the allure of darkness.Guide us in teaching our children the importance of a relationship with Jesus, who offers protection and salvation. Give us courage to speak out against the normalization of evil and to share the light of Your love with those around us. May we draw closer to You and be guided by Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

September 8th 2025 – Beware of False Teachers

Leave a reply

“As I urged you when I went into Macedonia – remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.” (1 Timothy 1:3-4)

In the body of Christ, we must be vigilant in guarding ourselves against division and false teaching. These insidious elements can infiltrate the community of believers, leading not only to sin but also to a profound misunderstanding of God’s Word. Often, those who come forth with a “new way” or a “higher understanding” are, unfortunately, deceived. Their teachings hinge on human wisdom or even worse, evil motives. This is why the apostles repeatedly caution us against false teachers and erroneous doctrines throughout Scripture.

Many times, misguided teachings stem from individuals who wish to forge their own paths. They find themselves unsatisfied with God’s Word as the ultimate authority, opting instead to twist it or reject it altogether. We must not be lured into complacency by these dangerous ideas. To truly understand life, we need to seek guidance from the One who gave it. If we long to comprehend this world, we must cling tightly to the words of the Creator who formed it. Most importantly, if we wish to discover the way to forgiveness and eternal life, we have no choice but to embrace the Truth found in the Bible. Living by God’s Word, rather than our own understanding, brings us hope for this life and unending joy in the next.

“There is danger in living our lives by our own standards rather than God’s.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word. It is a treasure to be able to read and reflect on the very words You have given us. I ask that You guard my heart against the snare of false teachings and help me to remain steadfast in the Truth of Your Gospel. Grant me discernment to recognize teachings that stray from Your Word, and empower me to share Your message with confidence and clarity.

Lord, as I navigate through life’s complexities, help me to seek Your guidance above all else. May Your Spirit illuminate my path and lead me to a deeper understanding of Your will. I pray that I would be anchored in Your Truth, so I may stand firm against the winds of deception that seek to sway me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

August 10th 2025 – Majesty in Every Moment

5 Replies

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.” (Psalm 8:1)

Psalm 8:1 invites us into a moment of awe and worship, reminding us of the majesty and glory of God. The psalmist begins with a powerful acknowledgment of God’s sovereignty and magnificence. When we consider the grandeur of creation—from the vastness of the universe to the delicate beauty of a flower—we are compelled to recognize the greatness of the Creator.

God’s name is not just a title; it embodies His character, His power, and His love. The psalmist expresses a deep reverence, reflecting on how God’s glory is evident not only in the heavens but also throughout the earth. This duality reminds us that God’s presence and majesty are all around us, waiting for us to notice and appreciate.

In our fast-paced lives, it can be easy to overlook the wonders of God’s creation. Yet, when we take a moment to pause and reflect, we can find His fingerprints in the world around us. The mountains, the oceans, the stars—all declare His glory.

Today, take a few moments to step outside or look out a window. Observe the beauty around you—whether it’s the sunrise, the rustling leaves, or the intricate patterns of nature. Let these sights remind you of the majesty of God.

Consider how you can honor His name in your daily life. Are there moments when you can express gratitude for His creation? How can you share this wonder with others?

As you go through your day, keep a heart of gratitude and a spirit of wonder. Reflect on the majesty of God’s name and how it resonates in all aspects of life.

“Embrace each day as a new canvas, where your choices create the masterpiece of your life.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the beauty of Your creation and the majesty of Your name. Help me to recognize Your glory in all that I see and encounter. May my life reflect Your greatness, and may I share Your love and wonder with those around me. Amen.

August 9th 2025 – Standing Strong Against Weariness

Leave a reply

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)

In our walk of faith, we often encounter challenges that test our endurance and resolve. The enemy, recognizing that he cannot take our lives, will instead aim to wear us down, hoping to sap our strength and dilute our joy. This tactic is subtle yet powerful; it can manifest as fatigue, discouragement, or a feeling of being overwhelmed by life’s demands.

Consider the story of Job. His faith was tested through immense suffering, yet he remained steadfast. The devil sought to wear him down, but Job’s unwavering trust in God led to his restoration. Like Job, we must remember that our struggles are not without purpose. They can refine us, deepen our faith, and draw us closer to God.

When we feel weary, it’s crucial to turn to Scripture for renewal. Jesus invites us in Matthew 11:28-30 to come to Him when we are burdened: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Finding rest in Christ is not merely about physical relaxation; it’s about spiritual rejuvenation.

Take a moment to reflect on the areas in your life where you feel worn down. What steps can you take to seek rest and renewal in Christ? Consider journaling your thoughts and prayers as a way to process and invite God into those spaces of weariness.

Remember, the enemy may seek to wear you out, but your strength is renewed in the presence of the Lord. Keep pressing forward; you are not alone in this battle.

“Though the enemy may try to wear you down, let your faith be the armor that renews your spirit and keeps your heart steadfast in God’s promise.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance that You are with me in my struggles. When I feel worn out, remind me of Your strength and grace. Help me to lean on You, find my rest in You, and trust in Your plans for my life. I pray for renewed energy and focus to continue fighting the good fight of faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

August 6th 2025 – Will We See Our Loved Ones in Heaven?

Leave a reply

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

The question of whether we will see our loved ones in heaven is one that stirs deep emotions within us. It is natural to long for the comfort of knowing that those we cherish will be with us in eternity. The promise of heaven offers us hope, and it is this hope that fuels our mission to share our faith with others.

Why we must have a conversation about Jesus with our loved ones.

As believers, we are called to share the message of Jesus with our unsaved loved ones. This calling is rooted in love, hope, and the understanding of eternal consequences. We need to remember that every interaction we have can plant a seed of faith. Our relationships with our family and friends are often the most impactful, as they see our daily lives and witness our faith in action.

Yet, what happens when our loved ones are not receptive to the Gospel? It can be disheartening, but even in those moments, we must continue to shine as a “lamp on a hill” (Matthew 5:14). Our lives serve as beacons of light in this dark world, and our unwavering faith can be a powerful testimony. People watch us, sometimes more closely than we realize.

Being diligent in our faith means living out the values of Christ in our daily actions. It encompasses kindness, patience, forgiveness, and love, even when faced with rejection or indifference. This authenticity and consistency can eventually break down barriers and open hearts to the message of salvation.

Take a moment to reflect on the loved ones in your life who may not yet know Jesus. Are there ways you can be a light to them? How can you demonstrate your faith in practical, loving ways? Remember that your actions may speak louder than words, and your steadfastness in faith can leave a lasting impression.

“Be diligent in sharing Jesus, for the end days are upon us; His return will come like a thief in the night, and every soul matters in the light of eternity.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of eternal life with You and the hope of reuniting with our loved ones in heaven. Help us to be persistent in sharing Your love and truth with those who do not yet know You. Give us patience and understanding as we navigate our relationships, especially when faced with rejection. May our lives be a reflection of Your light, drawing others closer to You. Let us shine brightly in the darkness, and help us to remain diligent in our faith. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

July 9th 2025 – Anchored In Truth

Leave a reply

“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Hebrews 6:19)

In the tumultuous seas of life, where storms of doubt, fear, and confusion can easily sweep us away, we find our steadfast anchor in the Word of God. Just as a ship relies on its anchor to stay grounded amidst raging waters, we too must cling to the truths of Scripture to remain firm and secure in our faith.

As we navigate through life, the culture around us often shifts, presenting ideas and values that may contradict the teachings of Christ. It can be tempting to drift with the currents of society, adopting beliefs that are popular but not rooted in truth. However, we are called to stand firm, holding fast to the teachings of Scripture that illuminate our path and guide our hearts.

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this journey of discernment. In John 16:13, we are reminded that “when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.” The Holy Spirit empowers us to discern truth from lies, helping us to recognize the whispers of culture that seek to lead us astray. By seeking the Spirit’s guidance through prayer and reflection on God’s Word, we can cultivate a heart that remains anchored in His truth.

How can you strengthen your anchor in the Word of God this week?
In what areas of your life do you feel the pull of cultural beliefs? How can you stand firm in God’s truth in those situations?
Take a moment to pray, asking the Holy Spirit for discernment and clarity as you navigate the challenges of life.

As we continue our journey, let us remain anchored in the hope we have in Christ, knowing that His promises are true and everlasting.

“True strength lies not in never falling, but in rising each time we do, anchored by faith and guided by hope.”

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Word, which serves as our anchor amidst life’s storms. Help us to stand firm in Your truth and resist the temptations of culture that seek to lead us astray. May we be guided by Your Holy Spirit, discerning truth from lies, and living boldly for You. In Jesus name, Amen.

July 7th 2025 – Citizens of Heaven

Leave a reply

“To the elect exiles of the dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,” (1 Peter 1:1)

When we hear the word “exile,” it often conjures up images of distant lands and feelings of being out of place. In 1 Peter, Peter addresses the early church as “elect exiles,” reminding them—and us—that our true citizenship lies not in this world, but in Heaven. This concept of being an exile is a profound truth for all believers.

As followers of Christ, we are called to live as citizens of Heaven while navigating the challenges of earthly life. This world, with its trials and tribulations, is not our final destination. Just as a traveler might find joy in the beauty of the journey while knowing their true home awaits, we too can find peace in our temporary circumstances.

In Romans 12:2, we are reminded, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” This transformation is essential as we seek to reflect Christ in our daily lives. We are not to adopt the values of this world but to embrace the Kingdom of God, living in a way that honors Him and points others to His grace.

So, how do we live as citizens of Heaven while on Earth? We focus our hearts and minds on things above. Our time, talents, and treasures should be invested in what lasts for eternity—love, kindness, and sharing the Gospel. While enjoying the blessings of the earth, we must remain mindful that they are temporary. Our hope should be anchored in the eternal promise of life with God.

“Though we walk this earth, our hearts are set on Heaven.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise of being citizens of Heaven. Help me to remember that this world is temporary and that my true home is with You. Grant me the strength to live a life that reflects Your light and love. May I invest my time and resources in ways that honor You and advance Your Kingdom. Today, I choose to live with eternity in my heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
