November 18th 2025 – Who is Jesus?

Scripture Reading:

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'” (John 14:6)

Reflection:

In the heart of our faith lies a profound question that invites reflection and personal connection: Who is Jesus? The answer unfolds in the tapestry of our lives, revealing His presence in every joy and struggle.

To the blind, He is the light. In moments of darkness, when our paths are unclear, Jesus shines brightly, guiding us with His wisdom and love. His light dispels confusion and fear, leading us toward hope.

To the hungry, He is the bread of life. In a world that often leaves us spiritually famished, He nourishes our souls. His words feed our hearts, reminding us that true fulfillment comes from Him alone.

To the thirsty, He is the living water. When our spirits are parched and we seek refreshment, Jesus offers us His life-giving water. He quenches our thirst for meaning and purpose, inviting us to drink deeply from His well.

To the broken, He is the Cure. In our moments of pain and hurt, Jesus reaches out to mend our wounds. He understands our struggles and offers healing that transcends the physical, touching our very souls.

To the spirituality dead, He is the resurrection and the life. When we encounter despair and hopelessness, Jesus offers the promise of new life. Through Him, we can experience transformation and renewal, both in this life and for eternity.

To the prisoner, He is freedom. In the chains of sin and despair, Jesus offers liberation. His grace breaks every bond, setting us free to live in His love and truth.

To the lonely, He is a friend. In our solitude, when we feel unseen and unheard, Jesus walks beside us. He listens, comforts, and fills the void with His abiding presence.

To the wanderer, He is the way. For those searching for direction, Jesus provides a path. He leads us home, guiding our steps with unfailing love and purpose.

To the sick, He is the great physician. In our times of illness, both physical and emotional, Jesus brings healing. He understands our pain and offers restoration, reminding us that we are never alone in our struggles.

To the accused, He is the advocate. When we face judgment and condemnation, Jesus stands by our side, defending us with His grace. He intercedes for us, reminding us of our worth in God’s eyes.

To the judge, He is Justice. In a world that often feels unjust, Jesus embodies true justice. He calls us to live righteously, reflecting His fairness and love in our actions.

To the weary, He is rest. When our burdens feel too heavy to bear, Jesus invites us to lay them down. He offers us rest for our souls, renewing our strength and spirit.

To the deceived, He is truth. In a world filled with lies and confusion, Jesus stands as the ultimate truth. His words provide clarity, guiding us to discern what is right and just.

To the lost, He is Salvation. For those searching for purpose and meaning, Jesus extends His hand. He offers salvation, a gift of grace that transforms our lives and brings us into a loving relationship with God.

To me, Jesus is everything! He is my anchor in the storm, my hope in despair, and my joy in the mundane. In every aspect of my life, I find Him to be more than sufficient.

As we ponder the question, “Who is Jesus?” may we each discover the depth of His love and the richness of His grace, and may we proclaim joyfully that He is everything we need.

In contemplating who Jesus is, may we recognize that He is not just a figure in history but a living, breathing presence in our lives. He meets us where we are, offering hope, healing, and a steadfast love that transforms us from the inside out. Whether we are feeling lost, weary, or joyful, Jesus is everything we need—a constant source of strength and peace.

“In every moment of need, Jesus reveals Himself as the answer, reminding us that His presence is our greatest treasure and His love our deepest comfort.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We are grateful for the many ways He meets our needs, comforts our hearts, and guides our paths. Help us to recognize Him in every facet of our lives and to share His love with others. May we carry the truth of who Jesus is into our daily lives, reflecting His light and love to those around us. Fill us with Your Spirit, strengthen our faith, and remind us that in every situation, we can turn to Jesus, our Savior. In His precious name, we pray, Amen.

October 31st 2025 – God’s Amazing Love for Us

2 Replies

Scripture Reading:

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

Reflection:

In a world where distractions and temptations abound, it’s easy to see parallels between our lives and the story of Hosea. God instructed His prophet to marry a prostitute, illustrating Israel’s infidelity by turning away from Him to worship false gods. This dramatic narrative serves as a stark reminder of how we often stray from the path of righteousness, despite the immense love and grace God offers us.

As we navigate in these chaotic times, recognize that the societal divisions and distractions can pull us away from our relationship with God. Hosea’s unwavering love for his wife mirrors the steadfast love God has for us, even when we wander. It’s hard to fathom why someone would betray a love so genuine and selfless. Yet, how often do we turn away from God’s embrace, seeking fulfillment in fleeting pleasures or worldly pursuits?

Sin can indeed blind us to the richness of God’s love. In our fast-paced lives, we may find ourselves caught up in the noise, forgetting that we are cherished by our Creator. The enemy works relentlessly to divert our attention, but we must remain vigilant, understanding that we are all inherently flawed and in need of God’s grace. Recognizing our sinful nature compels us to run from it, allowing us to experience the transformative power of God’s love.

Psalm 86:5 resonates deeply: “You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.” This promise is as relevant now as it was then. To love others authentically, we must first grasp the depths of God’s love for us. It is through this understanding that we can reflect that love in our relationships.

“In the embrace of God’s unwavering love, we find the strength to turn away from sin and the grace to love others as He loves us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You, acknowledging the times I’ve overlooked Your love in my life. Help me to overcome the temptations that lead me away from You. Fill my heart with a desire to seek You wholeheartedly. Teach me through Your Word and guide me by Your Spirit, so I can love my spouse and others as You love me. Thank You for the gift of salvation and for cleansing me from my sins. If I have sinned against You today, I ask for Your forgiveness and strength to live for You in all my actions. I stand firm on Your promise in 1 John 1:9, trusting that You will cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Wash me clean and use me for Your kingdom today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Are you longing for a deeper connection and purpose in your life? Jesus invites you into a personal relationship filled with love, grace, and hope. If you’re ready to explore this transformative journey, Click here to begin your journey with Jesus and discover the peace and joy that come from knowing Him.

October 30th 2025 – Keep Your Eyes Focused

Leave a reply

“Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.” (Romans 8:23)

In the journey of our faith, a vital question arises: What do you bring to the table? Ultimately, there are two choices — either you’re bringing a piece of Heaven to earth, or you’re not. It’s all too easy to become entangled in the trials of today, forgetting that our Lord reigns in triumph. When your gaze is fixed on worldly troubles, you’ll find yourself ensnared in adversity. Shift your focus to Jesus, and the struggles of this earth will begin to fade.

Have you encountered someone who’s consumed by their troubles? They often carry a weight of defeat, a mark that should not define a believer. As Christians, we are anything but defeated. Now, picture a non-believer witnessing a Christian overwhelmed by the chaos of this world. Would they see hope? Would they feel drawn to follow Christ?

“For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” (Romans 8:24-25)

So, what do you offer to those around you? Is it a glimpse of Heaven or a reflection of despair? Your faith serves as evidence of what you believe. If others see you embodying the essence of your faith, they will recognize that your God surpasses the troubles of this world.

If you find yourself waiting at the wrong station, hoping for a free ride on a fleeting promise, remember that such paths lead only to disappointment.

Christians, if your sense of hope is rooted in what others possess rather than in Jesus, it may be time for a faith reassessment, for others are watching.

“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:2)

“Don’t dwell on today’s groaning; instead, look forward to tomorrow’s glory.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope You have graciously given me through Your Son, Jesus. In moments of doubt, help me to see beyond what is visible. As I eagerly await Your return, grant me strength to persevere in the calling You have placed on my life. I trust that all things work together for good for those who love You. Today, I commit my life to Your purposes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

October 13th 2025 – Understanding Our Struggles

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.” (Romans 7:15)

Reflection:

If you think you cannot identify with this statement, take a moment to look in the mirror. The Apostle Paul, who penned Romans and much of the New Testament, is being transparently honest about his struggles. And in his words, we find a reflection of our own battles. We all grapple with the temptation to stray from the path we desire to walk. In a world filled with distractions, temptations, and pressures, it’s all too easy to succumb to our flesh and act contrary to our intentions.

Consider the challenges we face today: societal division, moral ambiguity, and a relentless pace of life that often pulls us away from our values. These issues can make us feel overwhelmed, leading to feelings of defeat when we stumble. Yet, it’s crucial to remember that our struggles do not define us. Instead, they illuminate our need for God’s grace and strength. The desire to pursue righteousness is, in itself, a testament to God’s transformative work within us.

In Philippians 2:13, we read, “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” This promise assures us that we are never alone in our endeavors to do good. Every time we act with kindness, every moment we choose love over anger, every instance we seek to uplift rather than tear down, we are witnessing the evidence of God at work in our lives.

Your engagement with this devotion is a sign of your spiritual hunger. You are seeking something deeper, yearning for a connection with the divine. Each good deed you perform is not just an act of will but a manifestation of God’s presence in you. Take heart; be encouraged. The Creator of the universe sees His Son reflected in you, cherishing your efforts, however small they may seem.

As you go about your day, remember that you are a vessel for God’s goodness. Embrace the opportunities to express His love and grace, knowing that He is always working in you for His good pleasure.

“Embracing our struggles is the first step to recognizing the profound grace at work within us; in each moment of weakness, God reveals His strength, guiding us to reflect His love and righteousness in the world.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and praise. Thank You for the depth of Your love and the assurance that You are with us in our struggles. We acknowledge our shortcomings and the moments we fall short of Your glory. Yet, in these moments, we find hope in knowing that Your grace is sufficient for us.

Lord, please help us recognize the areas in our lives where we need Your guidance. Grant us the wisdom to discern right from wrong and the courage to act righteously. As we navigate the complexities of today’s world, fill us with Your strength to stand firm in our faith, to speak truth in love, and to be beacons of light in dark places.

May we always be aware of Your hand at work within us, compelling us to choose the path of righteousness. Make us instruments of Your peace in a world that desperately needs it. Help us to reflect Your love to those around us and to see the potential for good in every situation. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

If you haven’t yet invited Jesus into your heart, this moment can change everything. It’s never too late to seek His love, grace, and forgiveness. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms, ready to guide you on a beautiful journey of hope and purpose. Take a step toward a new beginning today. Click here to begin your journey with Jesus and discover the peace and joy that come from knowing Him. Let today be the day you embrace His love and grace!

October 12th 2025 – Homesick for Heaven

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it, we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”* (Philippians 3:20)

Reflection:

When you mention feeling homesick for heaven, many might wonder, “How can you miss a place you’ve never been?” Yet, for those of us who love and seek Jesus, it resonates deeply. There’s a growing sense of disconnection with the world around us, a feeling that the things we once cherished—our hobbies, our routines—are slowly losing their luster.

As I began to surrender my worries and truly seek Him, not just in church or among fellow believers, but in the quiet moments of my day, I noticed a profound shift. Walking the narrow road brought a clarity I hadn’t anticipated. Each day, I felt more and more detached from the chaos of this world, as if I was being gently led away from it.

In deepening my relationship with God, I became hyper-aware of my surroundings and my purpose. I realized that we are souls having a human experience, and that this earthly life is fleeting. The stresses and worries that once consumed my thoughts began to fade away. They simply didn’t matter the way they once did.

“For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.” (1 John 2:16)

Everywhere I look, the signs are evident; prophecies unfolding right before our eyes remind us that we are nearing a divine homecoming. It feels like the excitement of childhood days leading up to a long-awaited trip, where anticipation fills every moment. We are in that same season now, waiting to meet Christ.

Life continues with its responsibilities—paying bills, working, studying—but amidst these tasks, we are called to let go of our worries. Whether it’s about our health or the uncertainties of tomorrow, we’re encouraged to embrace childlike faith. Trust that our Heavenly Father is in control and leading us home.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

I find myself increasingly homesick for heaven. It’s a feeling of separation, a yearning that intensifies daily. At one point, I wondered if something was wrong with me, and in my prayers, I asked Jesus to reveal the truth. He did, and it all made sense.

As these ties of stress, anxiety, and negativity begin to break away, I feel a sense of freedom emerging. The reality of what is to come—eternal life with Christ—consumes my thoughts. All I truly desire is to go home and be with Jesus.

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” (John 14:3)

Call to Action:

So, let us live with this hope, this longing for our heavenly home. Remember that we are just passing through, and our true identity lies in Him. Embrace the journey, and look forward to the glorious reunion that awaits us. We are being called home, and soon, we will be with our Savior forever.

“Amidst the chaos of this world, my heart whispers a longing for home, where love and peace reign eternal in the presence of my Savior.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, In this moment, I come before You with a heart full of longing. I thank You for the promise of eternity with You, a hope that fills my soul with peace and joy. As I navigate the challenges and distractions of this world, I often feel homesick for heaven, yearning for the day when I will be fully united with You.

Lord, help me to remember that my true citizenship is in heaven. When I feel disconnected or overwhelmed by the burdens of life, remind me that I am just a traveler on this journey, and my home is with You. Teach me to embrace each day with purpose, seeking You in every moment and leaning on Your promises.

As I walk this narrow road, grant me the strength to let go of worries and anxieties that weigh me down. Help me to cast all my concerns upon You, knowing that You care for me deeply. Fill my heart with childlike faith, trusting in Your perfect plan and timing.

Lord, as I witness the signs of Your return, stir in me a sense of urgency and hope. May I be a light in this world, sharing the love of Christ with those around me. Help me to focus on what truly matters—knowing You, loving others, and preparing for the glorious homecoming that awaits.

Thank You for the assurance that You are always with me, guiding my steps and comforting my soul. I am grateful for the relationship we share and the promise of forever in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

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

Leave a reply

“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.

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.
