As believers in Jesus Christ, we know God's power. We know what He can do and that when we pray, He comes to us. If you need a victory, He will give it to you.  God will give you wisdom and the words to speak to people around you who need hope. God is still in the business of healing marriages. He delivers people from addictions. He can break barriers that are keeping you and others in isolation....

I have never known God to be unfaithful. Even amid this prevalent perversion and evil in our world, God remains faithful. He's willing to show mercy to those who will turn to Him. He's still sending His mercy in this last generation; He will reveal His power so the world knows He is God.  God is faithful, just, merciful, loving, and powerful. There will be a testimony set upon a hill in this gener...

Do you believe Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Do you believe that God can still use you even in your condition? In our deficiency, God can move in and through our lives in ways that will bring Him glory.  We must know that God is still all-powerful, almighty, all-knowing, and all-merciful. We don't have to look at our intellect, strength, or abilities. We need to hear from...

Matthew 19:30 says, "But many who are first will be last and the last first." This verse is perplexing. It talks about the coming Kingdom of God, a Kingdom where it seems, at least at face value, to refer to the reversal of the order of things sought for and accepted in this world. When we get there, a lot of things are going to be turned upside down.  People that we didn't esteem will find out th...

Hebrews 10:19 says, "Therefore, brethren having boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus." Can you imagine in the Old Testament days, only one man was allowed once a year into the place where God was? At any other time, if you went in there, you died. There was a veil that separated God from humanity on the outside, even with all of its religion. God was so holy that people who eve...

There's a day coming when the moment of mercy is over. Until that day, the door of God's mercy is still open. If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Savior, I encourage you to open your heart today.  Don't harden your heart. David Wilkerson used to say that every time you resist, a layer of hardness comes into your heart until you eventually can get to the point where you can't hear God anymore. T...

Many people find themselves in a dark place. Many are wondering how they can get to God. The good news is that you don't have to get to God because God is coming to you right where you are. He will come amid your darkness, confusion, hopelessness, struggle, trials, and difficult situations. It's time to start praying and believing in God for your miracle because He can heal you. He can deliver you...

When God speaks, and we move with Him, miracles happen. I can tell you many stories that have happened to me. The mandate God gives me is to come before you and pass along the baton. It's great that I can tell you my story, but it's time for you to get it.  If the Lord tarries and you become 70, you too can pass a baton to the next generation. You can tell them that you have heard God's voice, and...

1 Chronicles 28: 9–10 says, "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be...

2 Peter 2:5 says, “God did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly.” Noah was a preacher of righteousness. His whole life was the message. He was not perfect by any stretch. His whole pursuit, though, became the message of his life. Is your life a message? When you walk into your workplace or t...

King David knew the power of God. He knew that miracles start to happen when God speaks and you move in the direction of His voice. Things that any amount of natural human effort can't do come into view, and people around you are encouraged. David knew this power the day he stood in the valley and fought against a giant. Not one man in the army of Israel dared to fight, so God sent a teenage boy w...

Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He doesn't change. We either think that or we don't. In this generation, we have to get to a point where we believe that the God of Acts 2 is still the God of Acts 2023.  Nothing has changed; God will still respond when we cry out to Him. He will take us out of the natural and into the supernatural. Through us, He can s...

When we seek God and pray, the Holy Spirit imparts something from the heart of God into our lives. We're being called for a specific purpose He has outlined for us. It's not a purpose that we can figure out for ourselves with all of our jostling, thoughts, and study. It's a calling that God has for each of us.  When we begin to pray, the burden that He has for our lives starts to come into focus,...

Genesis 6, verses 5 and 11: "Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually….The Earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence."  We can expect society to degenerate into this kind of behavior. If you open your eyes, you can see it happening rapidly now. Violence is becomin...

Listen to the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:37–38: “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the son of man be, for as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving and marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark.” Now, eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage is not evil. Jesus is saying that society will be carrying on as if there a...

Psalm 145, starting in verse 14: “The Lord upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He...

The voice of the Lord is above every voice. When you learn to hear the voice of God, start moving toward it. Move toward the longing God places in your heart, the thought that He plants there. Get up, go where God is calling you to, and do what He asks you to do.  It's not by might, power, or intellect but by the Spirit of God that the victory will be won in your life. Watch what God can do when y...

When I first got saved, I read my Bible and wept because it washed over me. The Word of God gave me hope for the future, and I began to have victory over areas in my life with which I struggled. Reading the Word of God washed the old ways of thinking, attitudes, and struggles away.  The psalmist David once said, "The entrance of the word of God gives light." When we have light, we can see farther...

In Esther 4:16, the queen says, "And so I will go to the King, which is against the law, and if I perish, I perish."  There comes a point when we have to go beyond our doubts. God is not offended by our doubts. He's not offended by our questions. But there is a point where we move beyond our questions and doubts and pray something like this: Whatever it costs me in the future, if you are with me,...

Judges 6:36–37: “So Gideon said to God, ‘If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said, look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor, if there is dew on the fleece only and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.’” Here was his prayer, plain and simple. "God, I want to be sure you're calling me to do this." God is n...

We need a biblical worldview in our generation today because it is the foundation that promises us the ability to see a secure future as hopelessness and lawlessness increase all around us.  God promises to be the voice that says, "This is the way; walk in it." He promises to be our strength and our guide. The Word of God brings us into an incredible provision that we need to face in life.  Psalm...

I encourage you to get some people to come and join our prayer meeting. It’s every Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org. People join worldwide. Let's pray that you experience what the Early Church did on Pentecost. The people gathered together in their weakness, but God came into the room suddenly. When He entered the room, He infused those people with His life. He intertwined His own lif...

Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil. We must pray for Israel and those who attack her. Prayer is our weapon, and through God's grace, we will fight even for our enemies. We recognize that this war is not against individuals but against evil.  By God's grace, we fight for every Jew and every Gentile. We fight for those imprisoned and those who have not kno...

Romans 8:15–16: “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.” The true believer's inner knowledge says, “I belong to God, and God belongs to me.” There's an inner desire in the true believer's heart to move away from what hinders...

Ephesians 6:10 says, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against all the wiles of the devil.” Verse 13 says, “Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." I don't know about you, but I am so thankful for those who hav...
