Kind Awakening

 There’s a quiet battlefield many ignore, though it determines everything from our joy to our destiny. It is not fought with bullets or ballots, but with thoughts . The content and direction of our thinking shape the trajectory of our lives . This is not merely a psychological truth it is a spiritual law , revealed throughout Scripture. “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” (Proverbs 23:7, KJV) Our thoughts are not harmless. They are formative. What we dwell on shapes our decisions, fuels our emotions, and ultimately drives our actions. And in a time when fear, chaos, and confusion dominate global headlines, the Church must once again take seriously the discipline of godly thought . Thoughts Are Seeds: What Are You Planting? Every day, we sow mental seeds through what we hear, see, believe, and repeat. When we assume the worst, feed on gossip, dwell on offenses, or meditate on disaster, we create an internal climate where fear flourishes and faith withers. “Be not ...

 In an age of self-certainty and digital posturing, few words are as radical and healing as: “I don’t know.” “I was wrong.” “God is still working on me.” These are not signs of weakness. They are marks of spiritual maturity . Yet we often reject them, seduced by the same lie that seduced Adam: the illusion that we can be like God , knowing all, needing no one. “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18, KJV) Pride was not just a sin in the garden. It was the sin the original rebellion that fractured creation. It is no surprise, then, that pride remains the root of so much destruction today, both individually and globally. The Fall of Man: A Pattern Repeating Today In Genesis 3, Satan tempts Eve with this bait: “For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:5, KJV) The serpent offered knowledge without submission , power with...

Many believers cry out, “Lord, speak to me!” But what if the silence we sense is not God’s absence, but our disobedience? Often, God has spoken. He has revealed. He has prompted. But instead of acting, we hesitate. We wait for confirmation, for comfort, or for consensus. In doing so, we miss the supernatural power that flows through obedience . “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 1:22, KJV) When God puts something on your spirit a word, an idea, a task, a call it is not a suggestion. It is an invitation to partner with Heaven. The Seed of Obedience Carries Generational Impact That prompting in your spirit might seem small. A conversation. A post. A prayer. A phone call. But when it comes from God, it carries eternal weight . “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” (Isaiah 30:21, KJV) God is still speaking. B...

 In the days of His flesh, Jesus, fully God and fully man, did not walk through life untouched by sorrow, stress, or suffering. He faced temptation, betrayal, loneliness, and death. But He faced it all in prayerful submission to the Father. “Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared.” (Hebrews 5:7, KJV) This moment, captured in Hebrews, reveals something profound: Jesus prayed with tears . He pleaded with the Father, not only for deliverance, but for strength to endure. His posture was not pride it was reverent submission . And in doing so, He left us a model for how we, too, are to live each day in these last days. The Posture of Reverent Submission We live in a world that glorifies self-reliance. Social media feeds us the lie that if we hustle hard enough, if we think positive enough, or if we control enough, we can master lif...

In a time when the noise of political theater and global crises drown out the still, small voice of God, the call for discernment has never been more urgent. Many cry out for clarity, yet remain deaf to truth when it is spoken plainly. What we are witnessing across the world is not merely geopolitical strategy or economic instability. It is the careful fulfillment of biblical prophecy a spiritual war clothed in the language of peace. > “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27, KJV) But the question remains: Are we truly listening? --- The Great Diversion: What the Antichrist Will Not Be There is a dangerous misconception circulating in both the Church and the culture: that the Antichrist will be a brash, arrogant, nationalistic figure, barking orders with iron-fisted control. That image, however, is a diversion. The Antichrist will not appear as a beast but as a bridge. He will not rise with roars of tyranny, but with whispers of unity. As the proph...

In recent years, protests have erupted across the nation with phrases like “No king but us” or “No king but resistance.” On the surface, these may seem like political slogans mere expressions of discontent with policy or leadership. But beneath the rhetoric lies something deeper, something ancient, something spiritual . The rejection of Christ’s lordship is not new. It is the very root of rebellion that has echoed from Eden to Babel, from Jerusalem to Washington. What we are witnessing is not merely civil unrest. It is a manifestation of spiritual warfare a direct confrontation with the Kingship of Jesus Christ. God Appoints Kings, Even When Man Objects Scripture teaches that God establishes rulers not always to reward a nation, but sometimes to test it , expose it , or preserve a remnant . “This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and givet...

 Every day, we wake up and reach for something. For some, it’s the comfort of coffee. For others, it’s the relief found in a cigarette or the numbness of alcohol. For many, it’s the glow of a screen or the rush of the next task. But let this truth cut through the noise: What we seek is what we worship. God’s Word confronts us with this principle in Psalm 105:4 : “Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.” (Psalm 105:4, KJV) Worship isn’t just about music or church attendance. It’s about pursuit . It’s about what you give your time, attention, energy, and longing to. If the first thing we crave isn’t Christ, we must ask: who or what has taken the throne in our hearts? Modern Idolatry: A Subtle Deception We often think of idolatry as ancient statues or false gods carved of wood and stone. But in our generation, idolatry wears new clothes: The endless scroll of social media The pursuit of wealth or status The dependence on substances to ease pain or b...

 In a world obsessed with influence, followers, and platform, Scripture calls us back to something far more eternal: character . The Apostle Paul’s instruction to young Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:12 is not just for leaders in ministry, but for every believer, regardless of age or stage of life: “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12, KJV) This passage shatters the idea that maturity in Christ is measured by years. God does not promote based on résumé. He elevates based on obedience, humility, and a life that reflects His Son. Do Not Be Dismayed by Your Youth Timothy was young, perhaps even timid. Yet he was called to carry the weight of spiritual leadership in a hostile world. Sound familiar? Today’s youth are navigating a digital Babylon, surrounded by false doctrines, moral compromise, and cultural confusion. Yet God’s call remains the same: set the stand...

 In this hour of shaking and global disruption, many are questioning the leaders raised to the forefront. They are uncomfortable with their tone, their past, or their methods. But what if God’s standards for His instruments are different from ours? What if we’re witnessing a divine strategy not a political coincidence? This message is not about idolizing a man. On the contrary, it is about recognizing the pattern of God throughout Scripture: He uses flawed vessels to fulfill sovereign purposes. And often, the ones He raises up are those we least expect. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8, KJV) He Was Not Chosen for Popularity He Was Chosen for War You may not like him. You may not understand him. But God does not require your approval before executing His plans. From Pharaoh to Cyrus, Nebuchadnezzar to Jehu, the Lord has a long history of raising up rulers saved or unsaved to fulfill divine assignments. “T...

 Most people never reach the fullness of what God intended for their life. Why? Not because they lack talent, or opportunity, or potential. But because when it gets hard, they quit. Scripture never promises that the road to righteousness will be easy. In fact, it assures us that suffering and resistance will accompany our calling. Yet it is through perseverance that the children of God are refined, prepared, and equipped to walk in His purpose. “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12, KJV) Greatness and Ease Do Not Walk Together We often admire the breakthroughs of others. Their ministries, businesses, influence, or restored families. But what we don't see are the long nights of prayer, the silent battles, the failures they had to push through, and the moments of radical obedience. The world is fascinated with “overnight success,” but the Word of God teaches that true greatness comes by endurance. Hebrews 10:36 says: ...

 We live in a culture consumed by comparison, constantly chasing the next best thing, the next purchase, the next momentary thrill. The world subtly whispers that success is defined by luxury, image, and accumulation. But what if the way of Christ calls us to something deeper, truer, and freer? Jesus prayed for His followers in John 17:16, saying, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” We are in the world, yes, but not of it. This distinction is crucial for the believer who seeks to live in alignment with God’s Kingdom rather than the systems of man. The Trap of the “Joneses” I live in a neighborhood where people drive luxury vehicles and flaunt their latest acquisitions. It’s tempting to think, “Maybe I should upgrade too.” But pause for a moment. Is that truly your why ? When we let someone else's life dictate our decisions, we lose sight of our calling. We begin chasing their dreams, not ours. Worse, we may fall into bondage, enslaved by debt, tim...
