June 21st 2025 – How Much Longer?

1 Reply

“They shouted to the Lord and said, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?’” (Revelation 6:10)

In Revelation chapter 6, we encounter the voices of those who lost their lives for their faith. These martyred souls are in Heaven, fully aware of the injustices occurring on Earth and the suffering of their fellow believers. Their heartfelt cry to the Father resonates: “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long until you bring justice and avenge our blood?” In essence, they are asking, “Lord, this is not right. How much longer must we wait for Your intervention?”

God responds to their earnest prayers:

“Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters—their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.” (Revelation 6:11)

This response reminds us that God’s timing often differs from our own. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

I think back to road trips with my children when they were young. About an hour in, I would hear the familiar question, “How much longer until we get there?” My answers were often reassuring yet vague: “We’re almost there,” or “Just a little bit longer.”

Likewise, the martyred saints are seeking clarity on their vindication, and God simply replies, “Just a little bit longer.” We often find ourselves asking God similar questions: “When will You return, Lord?” or “When will my prayers be answered?” His gentle reminder is always, “Just a little bit longer. Be patient; I am in control and working everything according to My perfect will.”

“God’s delays are not necessarily His denials. So keep praying.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, help us to remain steadfast and free from anxiety, especially when we face false accusations or injustices. Empower us to boldly share Your message of salvation with all who will listen until our time on Earth concludes or You return. We are grateful for Your love and presence in our lives. Protect us in these times, and grant us the strength to proclaim Your gospel until the very end. We eagerly await the day of Jesus’ return. Amen.

June 19th 2025 – Possessing Faith In the End-Times

1 Reply

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4)

Faith is fundamentally about trusting in God. To have faith means to believe that God will fulfill His promises. This trust forms the core of our Christian journey, shaping both our salvation and our ongoing relationship with the Lord. One of the most challenging aspects of faith often lies in the waiting. God has assured us of many things, including His glorious return, yet the period of waiting can be arduous. It is during these times that we must prioritize trusting God’s promises over the uncertainties we perceive around us.

When we survey the world, we see corrupt leadership, rampant sin, and the enemy causing chaos in lives. In these moments, we may find ourselves crying out, “Lord Jesus, come!” However, as we utter these prayers, we are called to walk in faith. We must believe that God’s plans surpass our understanding. He may be allowing suffering to persist a bit longer to draw others to salvation through Christ. The wonderful truth is that one day, He will return, and when He does, everything will be restored, and our world will be transformed forever. This is not just a comforting fairy tale; it is a profound reality. We hold this truth by faith, anchored in the One who has consistently proven His faithfulness.

“When Christ returns, the world will be renewed, our bodies will be transformed, and evil will be vanquished.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the promises found in Your Word. Grant me the faith to trust in those promises, no matter my feelings or the circumstances surrounding me. I wholeheartedly believe that You are God, that Jesus is my Savior, and that He will return one day. Empower me to share this message of hope with everyone around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

June 17th 2025 – Wars and Rumors of War

1 Reply

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Matthew 24:6-7)

In our world today, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the news of conflicts, violence, and political unrest. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24 that wars and rumors of wars would be part of the human experience. But He also provided us with a profound assurance: we should not be alarmed. These events, while distressing, are part of God’s sovereign plan and do not take Him by surprise.

As followers of Christ, we are called to respond with faith rather than fear. When we hear of conflict, it’s a reminder of our broken world and the need for God’s peace. We are encouraged to pray for those affected by violence and to seek ways to be instruments of peace and reconciliation in our communities.

Take a moment to reflect on how you can be a source of peace in your surroundings. Consider reaching out to someone who may be struggling with fear or anxiety about current events. Share a word of encouragement or pray together.

This week, dedicate time to pray for specific areas of conflict around the world. Let your heart be moved by the plight of others, and act in ways that reflect Christ’s love.

“In the midst of turmoil and strife, remain unshaken; for every conflict is a chapter in a greater story yet to unfold.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, We come before You in humble reverence, recognizing the turmoil and strife that plague our world. Our hearts are heavy for those caught in the crossfire of wars and conflicts—men, women, and children who endure unimaginable suffering and loss. Lord, we lift up every person affected by violence. May Your comforting presence surround them, bringing solace amid chaos. We pray for protection over innocent lives and for the provision of essential needs—food, shelter, and safety. Let those who are displaced find refuge and support, and may they experience Your love through the hands of those who serve them.

We also intercede for the leaders of nations, asking that You grant them wisdom and discernment. May they seek paths of peace rather than conflict, and may their hearts be softened to pursue justice and reconciliation. We pray that You raise up peacemakers who will advocate for the vulnerable and work tirelessly to heal divisions.

Lord, we know that in times of desperation, many are drawn to seek answers. We pray for those who do not yet know You, that their hearts may be opened to the truth of Your love and grace. May they seek You wholeheartedly, recognizing that true peace and hope can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Let Your Holy Spirit stir within them, prompting questions that lead to a quest for understanding and faith.

As we navigate the challenges of our world, help us to be beacons of Your light. Empower us to share the Good News of Jesus with those around us, demonstrating Your love through our actions and words. May our lives reflect the peace that surpasses all understanding, inviting others to experience the joy of knowing You.

We trust in Your sovereignty, Lord, and we lean on Your promises. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

June 12th 2025 – Heavenly Signs, Earthly Hope

1 Reply

“There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” (Luke 21:25-28)

In this passage, Jesus speaks of a time filled with uncertainty and fear. The imagery of cosmic upheaval and earthly distress paints a stark picture of the challenges that may come. However, amidst this turmoil, Jesus offers a powerful reminder: “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

As believers, we are often confronted with trials and tribulations that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the future. The signs in the heavens and the chaos on earth can serve as metaphors for the struggles we face in our daily lives. Whether it’s personal trials, societal issues, or global crises, it’s easy to be consumed by fear and despair.

Yet, Jesus encourages us to respond differently. Instead of cowering in fear, He calls us to stand tall and lift our heads. This posture of hope and expectation reminds us that our faith is not rooted in the circumstances around us but in the promise of our Savior. Each challenge we face is an opportunity to deepen our faith and trust in God’s plan.

How to apply this in your life.

  1. Recognize the Signs: Take time to reflect on the signs around you—both the challenges and the blessings. How can these experiences draw you closer to God?
  2. Stand in Faith: When faced with fear or uncertainty, consciously choose to stand firm in your faith. Lift your head in prayer, seeking God’s guidance and strength.
  3. Embrace Redemption: Remember that Jesus’ return is not just a future event but a present reality that influences how we live today. Live with the hope of redemption in your heart, sharing that hope with others.

As we meditate on these passages, let us remember that though the world may shake around us, our foundation in Christ remains unshakable.

“Let us live each day with the confidence that our redemption is near, empowering us to face each moment with courage and grace.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance that even in times of distress, You are our refuge and strength. Help us to lift our heads and trust in Your promises. May we remain steadfast in our faith, looking forward to the glorious return of Your Son. Equip us to be beacons of hope in a world filled with fear. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

May 24th 2025 – God’s Timing Is Always Perfect

Leave a reply

“Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.” (Romans 15:28-29)

God is a generous and blessing-filled Creator, eager to shower His children with favor. Yet, in His divine wisdom, He grants us free will—a gift that allows us to choose our paths. Sometimes, we inadvertently hinder God’s blessings by stubbornly insisting on our own way. Remember, God’s timing doesn’t align with our schedules; His plan is far superior. There’s a divine order to life, orchestrated by God, who understands the intricate workings of our existence.

The Apostle Paul longed to visit Rome, but he recognized the importance of waiting for the right moment ordained by God. He had learned that patience in the Lord’s timing leads to richer experiences. There are times when we clearly feel called to a purpose, yet it may not be the right time to act. In those moments of waiting, we can trust that God’s timing promises a journey filled with purpose. While it may not always be easy, it will undoubtedly be good. If you encounter ease without resistance, take a moment to reflect; it might be wise to seek God’s guidance to ensure you are aligned with His timing.

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” (Proverbs 16:9)

“Be cautious about rushing God’s timing; you never know whom or what God is protecting you from.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You with love and praise. Thank You for the unwavering love, grace, and mercy You extend to me daily. I am grateful for Your goodness and kindness and for the incredible plans You have in store for my life. Lead me through these plans in Your perfect timing, not my own. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

April 11th 2025 – Unlimited Resource

Leave a reply

“He who scatters has come up before your face. Man the fort! Watch the road! Strengthen your flanks! Fortify your power mightily.” (Nahum 2:1)

Tests and trials are a part of life and often push us to our limits in so many ways. During these times, what do you turn to? Do you first run to others seeking those who feel the same way you do? Do you find yourself to be anxious because you are constantly looking down the road of life waiting for the next attack? Maybe you run to your money or addiction to seek answers or comfort. Whatever the case may be, the truth is, when we do not run to God first, we will not last long.

As followers of Christ, we have the unlimited resource of wisdom and power available to anyone. He is our Father God and He desires to help us in times of need. We may be able to limp along on our own wisdom and strength for a time, but when we trust in the Lord’s strength and His infinite wisdom, we will never grow weary. Today you will encounter difficult situations. Don’t be surprised by them but simply use them as an excuse to draw closer to God. Need wisdom? Ask the Father. Desire strength? Find it in Jesus.

“When you aew faced with a problem, seek God first before relying on your own wisdom or strength.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your generous love for me. I am so grateful that I can run to You in times of need and You will hear my cry. Father, I ask for Your strength and wisdom today. No matter where I find myself I ask that You would guide my steps and use me for Your purposes. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

April 8th 2025 – Overcoming Satanic Oppression

Leave a reply

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 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 6:10-12

As Christians, we understand that our journey of faith is not merely physical but deeply spiritual. The reality of spiritual warfare is often underestimated, and many believers find themselves in the grips of oppression from the enemy. It’s essential to recognize that Satan seeks to undermine our faith, distract us from God’s purpose, and instill fear and doubt in our hearts.

When faced with oppression, it’s easy to feel isolated and helpless. However, we are not alone in this battle. The Lord has equipped us with His armor—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—to stand firm against these attacks. Each piece of armor serves a vital purpose in protecting us and empowering us to resist the enemy.

Reflect on areas in your life where you may be feeling oppressed. Are there specific thoughts, fears, or situations that the enemy is using to attack you? Take a moment to write them down and then prayerfully hand them over to God, asking for His strength and guidance.

This week, choose a piece of the armor of God to focus on. Study its significance and implement it in your daily life. For instance, if you focus on the “shield of faith,” take time each day to read Scriptures that reinforce your faith and memorize them. Let God’s Word be your defense against the lies of the enemy.

Remember, the battle belongs to the Lord. As you face the challenges of life, hold fast to His promises, and know that He is your refuge and strength. No matter how intense the oppression may feel, your identity in Christ is your greatest weapon.

“Stand firm, for you are a child of the Most High, and victory is assured through Him.“

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your promise that we are never alone in our struggles. Help us to put on the full armor of God daily, allowing us to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Give us strength when we feel weak and courage when we feel afraid. Remind us that our victory is found in You, and may we always seek Your presence in times of trouble. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.

March 29th 2025 – Hope Amidst the Chaos

Leave a reply

“There will be great earthquakes, famines, and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” (Luke 21:11)

In this passage, Jesus speaks about the signs of the times that will precede His return. He acknowledges the reality of fear and uncertainty that accompanies such events. Earthquakes, famines, and pestilences are not merely historical references but reminders of the brokenness in our world. As we witness these occurrences, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by anxiety and despair. However, Jesus encourages us to look beyond the chaos to the hope that lies in Him.

In the midst of turmoil, we are reminded that God is sovereign. Every natural disaster, every sickness, and every fearful event is under His control. Rather than succumbing to fear, we can choose to trust in God’s promises. He is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). These signs serve to awaken us, urging us to rely on Him and to share His love with others.

Take a moment to reflect on current events and the fears they may invoke in your heart. How can you respond with faith and hope instead of fear? Consider reaching out to a friend or family member who may also be struggling and offer them encouragement through God’s Word.

“God’s sovereignty remains our source of hope and strength. By focusing on His promises, we can transform our fear into faith and become beacons of His love to those around us.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being our anchor in the storm. Help us to remember that even in the face of calamity, You are in control. Grant us the strength to endure and the courage to share Your love and hope with those around us. May we be instruments of Your peace in a world filled with fear. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

March 23rd 2025 – Safe and Secure with Jesus

Leave a reply

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)

I want you to fully understand the safety and security you have in God’s presence. If you have invited Jesus into your life, you are on the path to heaven, and nothing can hinder you from reaching that glorious destination. When you leave this life, you will have the incredible joy of seeing Him face to face, a joy that surpasses all earthly experiences. Even now, you are never separated from Him, even if you must see Him through the eyes of faith. He will walk with you until the end of time and beyond into eternity.

There may be moments when we don’t always feel His presence. Here are just a few of God’s promises to remind you:

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Joshua 1:5)

“May the LORD our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may He never leave us nor forsake us.” (1 Kings 8:57)

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’” (Hebrews 13:5)

While we may choose to turn away from God, He will never abandon us. Regardless of how bleak a situation may seem or how empty you might feel, remember that God is always with you! His promises are unwavering, and His word stands above all else. We can move forward with confidence, knowing He goes before us. And if God is for us, who can stand against us?

When you forget His presence, you may experience feelings of loneliness or fear. It is through the awareness of His presence that peace can replace negative emotions. Make it a practice to walk consciously with Jesus each day.

“God’s promise: Safe and Secure in His Presence”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for walking with me and providing peace. I surrender each day to You, asking that You use me to help others come to know You. Continue to shape me into the person You have destined me to be. I love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, 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 Click here

March 21st 2025 – Live and Abundant Life

1 Reply

“So I sent messengers to them, saying, ‘I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?’” (Nehemiah 6:3)

In the midst of our daily struggles, it’s essential to recognize that the enemy is always lurking, seeking to distract and deter us from the important work God has called us to. Satan thrives on chaos and despair; his aim is to drag us down into misery. He may present fleeting joys that ultimately lead to heartache, but we must remember that God offers a path filled with true joy and eternal hope.

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

To resist the devil effectively, we need to invite Jesus to transform us from within. Merely going through the motions of faith isn’t enough; it’s about allowing Christ to renew our hearts and minds. If we cling to our old ways, we risk missing out on the fullness of life that God desires for us. Don’t let the enemy take hold—surrender to God and rely on His Spirit to guide you along His path.

“God can bless you, wherever you are.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, forgive me for the times I’ve let the enemy lead me astray from Your purpose. Open my eyes to Your truth and my ears to Your voice through Your Word, the Holy Spirit, and the community of believers around me. I desire Your ways above all else! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
