November 25th 2025 – The Inner Battle of Faith

Leave a reply

Scripture Reading:

“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.” (Romans 7:15-20)

Reflection:

As we walk the path of faith, it’s essential to recognize that our journey with Jesus is not just a series of joyous moments or a collection of uplifting experiences. It’s a profound and often tumultuous inner battle. When we say “yes” to God, we enter a spiritual war—one that rages within our hearts and minds.

The Surrendering Process
Surrendering to God is not a magical solution that erases our struggles overnight. Instead, it’s an intentional decision that opens us up to His transformative power. In this process, God comforts us, but He also confronts us. He exposes the parts of ourselves that need healing and the habits that must die. This confrontation may feel uncomfortable, but it is essential for growth.

The Reality of Our Walk
This walk isn’t merely about attending church, sharing inspirational quotes, or participating in community gatherings. It is about the daily decision to die to our flesh and its desires. It’s about standing firm when storms of life threaten to shake our faith.

When we face trials, we may feel alone, but remember: the promise of God is that we are never truly alone. He walks with us through every battle, even when it feels like we are standing in the dark, unsure of the outcome.

Faith Through the Struggles
Some days will indeed be exhausting. We may find ourselves questioning our strength and resolve. However, in these moments of doubt, God calls us to have faith, even when the path ahead is unclear. He invites us to rise again, even when we stumble and no one else sees our fall.

Moreover, true faith often requires us to forgive those who have wronged us, even when apologies are never given. This act of forgiveness is a powerful declaration of our faith and reliance on God’s grace.

God’s Assurance
While the journey may not be easy, we can take comfort in God’s promise: He will never leave us nor forsake us. The battle may be fierce, but the victory belongs to Him.

As you reflect on this teaching, remember that every struggle is a reminder of God’s unwavering love and the strength He provides. Embrace the journey, knowing that He walks beside you, equipping you for the battles within.

“Embracing the inner battle of faith means recognizing that every struggle is not a setback, but a step toward transformation, where surrender leads to strength, and grace empowers us to rise again.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being my constant companion in this journey of faith. I come before You, acknowledging the battles that rage within me—the struggles, doubts, and fears that often feel overwhelming. Help me to embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation in Your love.

Lord, as I surrender my will to You, grant me the strength to face the parts of myself that need healing. Shine Your light into the dark corners of my heart, revealing the areas that require change. Help me to let go of the habits and thoughts that hinder my walk with You and to embrace the new life You offer.

When the storms of life hit, remind me to stand firm in my faith, trusting that You are my anchor. Help me to rise again when I stumble, even when it feels like no one notices my struggle. May I find comfort in Your presence and in the truth that I am never alone.

Teach me, Lord, to forgive those who have wronged me, even when it feels impossible. Fill my heart with Your grace so that I may extend that same grace to others. In moments of exhaustion, remind me of Your promise that You will never leave me nor forsake me.

Thank You for the hope that sustains me and the love that surrounds me. I trust in Your plan for my life and lean on Your strength for every battle I face. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

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.

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.

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
