Remember the Sabbath – Exodus 20:8-11 – Prayer

Lord God, As we worship and honor You on Your Holy Sabbath Day, we ask for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This week has drained us physically, mentally, and emotionally. We thank You for renewing us during our daily morning worship. Lord, from ceasing our secular activities in obedience to Your Commandment, we ask for a double portion of the blessings of wisdom, discernment, and restoration. Refresh us spiritually, as we eat the Bread of Life and drink from the Well of Living Water. With love and faith, we ask this prayer in the Righteous Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Why Worry? The Future Belongs to God

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24).

Why do we worry about the future? The only future event we should be preparing for is found in John 14:1-3 and Revelation 22:12.

Choosing to be grateful is a daily commitment, revealing that we are following Jesus’ Commandment to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Gratitude changes our perception of life from “I want” to “God has given me everything that I need for today.” Our most frequent prayer should be, Thank You, God, which reveals that we honor and revere The Giver of all good gifts.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17, CSB).

Reflecting on our blessings and whispering, Thank You, God is an intentional act of worship, recognizing that our Heavenly Father is always faithful and loves us unconditionally.

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

The future belongs to God. Praise and worship Him for the gift of today! Yes and Amen!

LORD God, thank You for this new day that offers new challenges and abundant opportunities. Thank You, for Your Ruach breath flowing through our lungs. And Thank You, that we are not hungry, can care for ourselves, and if not, we thank You for dedicated caregivers. With this new day, we recognize that our minds are alert and oriented, and with gratitude, we say, Hallelujah for Your Faithfulness! Lord, most importantly, we humbly bow, thanking You for the gift of Jesus Christ, who has redeemed us from the deathly consequences of sin. With immense gratitude, we pray in Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.

Do Not Trust Your Thoughts – Pray, Wait, and Obey

Our backgrounds and life experiences have a major influence on the way we perceive others and situations.

Regardless of our knowledge, educational achievements, and stage of life, human reasoning, is still human and capable of misjudging people, circumstances, and Satan’s highly effective deceptions.

All of us have ignored God’s warning not to trust our thoughts when making decisions. We may think that we are capable of recognizing situations that place us in harm’s way, but statistics prove otherwise.

“God would surely have known it, for He knows the secrets of every heart.” (Psalm 44:21, NLT).

Relationships are absolute proof that the person that you thought you knew was actually a fabricated persona: The individual skillfully creates a false identity, deceiving others into believing the fake personality is who they really are.

“When pride is in our hearts, we feel important, confident, self-sufficient, and in need of nothing, which causes us to neglect our relationship with God.”

How can we avoid [life-changing] mistakes and consequences? God’s answer: “Do not be wise in your own eyes.” (Proverbs 3:7).

Do not trust your knowledge, strategies, emotions, or rely on your perception of an individual or presenting situation without praying for God’s guidance.

God never pressures us to make an immediate decision. The Bible tells us to pray and wait on the Lord [Psalm 27:14].

Satan is skilled in presenting opportunities that are only available right now. Never trust in everything you think. And Never follow your heart! Pray, Wait, and Obey.

Always involve God before starting relationships, getting married, making large purchases such as homes and vehicles, engaging in financial transactions, starting a business, changing jobs, and before joining a church.

In fact, to avoid mistakes and negative consequences, pray and involve God in every decision. Yes, our Heavenly Father loves us and even cares about the little details of our lives.

How do we know that we have received God’s answer? ”

“For my own sake…I do this. How can I let myself be defamed. I will not yield my glory to another.” (Isaiah 48:11, NIV).

We know that it is God’s answer when the instructions and solutions reveal His Righteousness and honors His Sovereign Authority. God always glorifies His Holy Name. Yes and Amen!

Lord God, we thank You for loving us so much that You want to be involved in every little detail of our lives. We desire to rely on Your guidance. Please forgive us for any prideful self-importance that has kept us from praying and asking You to reveal Your Will to us. In faith, we ask this prayer in the Righteous Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Let Your Words Be Seasoned With Salt, Representing Christ

We live in tense times, where emotions easily escalate. Yet as followers of Christ, every thought and every spoken word must reflect God’s Love and Grace.

The following Devotional Video is Bible-based and encouraging.

God Is Love And God Loves You

“Because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.'” (1 Peter 1:16).

“God is pure Holiness, and when we come to Him, we must see Him as being Holy.”

“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.” (Jeremiah 31:3, Amplified Bible).

“God is love. Love is His character. Love is the very essence of who He is. God is love, Jesus created us in His image (Gen. 1:27) to love and to desire love.”

“In Hebrew, one major word for love is hesed. This describes God’s covenant love for humankind, which encompasses traits of loyalty, protectiveness, steadfastness, and tenderness.”

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'” (John 14:6). “God, the Father’s Love is revealed and given to humanity through Jesus Christ.”

The Holy Scriptures give us evidence of Jesus’ Divine Love for us. Each new day, we receive the phenomenal blessing of God’s Ruach breath, which keeps us alive.

Studying the Scriptures keeps us anchored in Christ. When life’s challenges and adversities arrive, our first response is a prayer for help. Faith and trust in God’s promises to help us gives us abundant peace, hope, and happiness.

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, Amplified Bible).

The Christian journey results in a tough life that requires experiencing trials, overcoming temptations, and choosing every day to live a sacrificial life of self-denial, still Jesus commands us to be courageous:

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9).

We have an unbreakable promise that God is with us. Daily surrender, prayer, and Bible Study strengthens our faith, keeps us connected to Christ, giving us comfort and peace despite our circumstances.

“How well do you know God’s Character and the history of His Divine Intervention?

Proof of God’s Faithfulness: The Bible gives us total access to the many stories of God’s intervention, protecting and rescuing the righteous from their enemies.

In fact, the Apostle Paul compares the Christian journey to a life of a soldier [Ephesians 6]. So we would never feel alone and discouraged, Jesus invites us to continuously ask Him for strength and help:

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16).

With God, victory is guaranteed, not only do we receive the spiritual strength to persevere and keep moving forward, Satan’s schemes are always defeated. Yes and Amen!

Reflection: What is our response to God’s Amazing and Endless Love? We respond with hearts that are filled with love, honor, and gratitude to God.

Yes, we have hope in God’s promises! On Calvary’s Cross, Jesus Christ won The Great Controversy between Good and Evil

Christian soldiers utilize prayer as our first response to every challenge. When personal worship is our priority, we receive angelic protection from seen and invisible spiritual dangers [Ephesians 6:10-13].

“For He will give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways.” (Psalm 91:11).

From inviting Christ, our Savior and Triumphant King to have dominion in our lives, we receive the promise that all of Heaven is committed to helping us to live as overcomers.

Everything Has Its Time: “To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

In Revelation chapter 19, Jesus reveals how He will remove sin and wickedness. Despite the escalation of evil on this earth, God’s loving promises give us hope, peace, and contentment.

“We love Him because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19). Loving God is the foundation of our relationship with Jesus Christ.

With joyful anticipation, we have this hope that we will live eternally with our Triumphant King forever in the New Heaven and New Earth. Hallelujah! Amen!

Lord God, for this new day of life and for the Holy Sabbath, we praise your Holy Name. We rejoice because Your promises are steadfast and You are always faithful. We are so grateful that You never change. Thank You for giving us Spiritual Stability, which strengthens our faith, and releases all of our anxieties and worries. We honor and revere Your Sovereign Authority and in faith, we ask this prayer in the Loving and Righteous Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Growing Closer to Christ – Striving For The Best Spiritual Health

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2)

Strive For The Best Spiritual Health: Christ created us to live in harmony with God’s Laws of Health. Our mental, emotional, and physical health impacts our spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ.

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2).

The concept “We are what we eat” is a reality, yet healthy intake extends beyond nutrients [food]. Every day, we use our Five Senses [sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch] to either build or tear down our Spiritual Health.

Satan entices us by appealing to our Senses; still, it is our hearts’ desires that propel us to say yes to temptation. “The mind influences the body and the body influences the mind.” We are shaped by what we watch, listen to, the habits we practice, and the people in our inner circle of family and friends.

God’s Standard for Believers: “Be holy, for I am Holy.” (1 Peter 1:16).

Because we live in a time when Satan has used digital and virtual platforms to covertly present compromising entertainment, many Christians are being deceived and engaging in sinful activities.

For example, I prefer playing logic games, so I chose one that had good reviews. All was well until it wasn’t. As I advanced to higher levels, I noticed an unusual number of words related to the occult, mythology, and criminal activity. And the Ads progressed from family appropriate to covert but suggestive immorality.

Although I diligently pray and study the Bible every day, I was focused on the game, which was challenging, and I had achieved a high score; I gradually became desensitized to the content. I thought, “It’s only a game, I don’t believe in those false teachings.”

Yahweh Nissi—Jesus Christ, Our Mighty Warrior Against Satan’s Deceptions

“I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will give you counsel and watch over you.” (Psalm 32:8, BSB).

Jesus loves and protects those who love Him. On the day I dismissed the game’s promotion of false teachings, during evening worship, the Holy Spirit spoke to me, “Do not love the things of this world.” And yes, I knew that I had a decision to make: Obey God and let go of the game, or continue in disobedience.

“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.” (1 John 2:15, NLT).

In 2026, Blended Christianity, the integration of “soft” worldly activities, has been accepted and is being practiced by many believers:

Hanging out with people who acknowledge that God exists, but do not serve Him, watching programming and playing games with violence, sexual content, or gambling, listening to secular music [Rock, Jazz, R&B, etc.], taking sleep gummies, recreational drugs, alcoholic drinks, using profanity, and the list is endless.

“Moral perfection is required of all believers. We should never lower the standard of Righteousness in order to satisfy our desires. We need to understand that nurturing character imperfections is wilfully sinning against God.”

Christ Is Our Righteous Standard and Role Model

“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” (Galatians 5:16-17).

If unbelievers love and promote the activities, then we know they are not of God. Aggressive sports [hands-on contact], animal fights, parties with secular music, alcoholic beverages, and recreational use of marijuana, legal or not, are activities that will prevent us from receiving Eternal Life.

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). We may not agree, but Jesus loved us unconditionally, paying with His life to save our souls. We cannot afford to let this Earth’s temporary trinkets corrupt our minds, making us apathetic toward receiving our Crown of Life.

The habits and lifestyles that we practice now either allow the Holy Spirit to transform us [Sanctification] to live righteously forever in a loving and peaceful New Heaven and New Earth with God, or they do not.

Every aspect of our being, our thoughts, choices, activities, and friends must reflect God’s Holiness. And yes, it is a tough decision, but we cannot justify socializing with unbelieving family members. It is always the Christian who must compromise when they choose friends who do not follow Christ.

We must ask ourselves, Does this activity or individual represent the Righteousness of Christ? Pray before embracing fun and relaxing activities, and let God choose your friends.

Reflection: We cannot judge ourselves. Our lifestyle reveals if we are following Christ on the Narrow Path of Righteousness. Still, we should pray and ask God, “Does my heart and lifestyle represent the Righteousness of Christ?

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.” (Romans 12:1, NIV).

Lord God, we ask You to reveal the habits, activities, friends, and family members who are preventing us from living holy and receiving our reward of Eternal Life. We ask You to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and to create a pure heart within us. As we honor Your Holy Sabbath, Lord, we ask for Your guidance, wisdom, and strength as we strive to live righteously. In faith, we ask this prayer in Jesus’ Loving and Righteous Name, Amen.

Knowing and Doing the Will of God

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” (John 8:29)

The following are Sermon Notes on living a dedicated life of doing God’s Will. Every day, we must ask ourselves this profound question: “Am I really doing God’s Will?”

“Every moment of our lives, either we are living in the Will of God or we are living outside of the Will of God.”

“There is no middle ground. Either we are living a life of obedience to God or a life of disobedience to God.”

“Is this decision consistent and in agreement with the Word of God?
Is it a wise decision? If I do this, what will the consequences be?
Can I honestly ask God to empower me to achieve this decision?
Do I have God’s peace about this decision? Is it the right time?
Is this decision consistent with the way God works? Is it consistent with the Scriptures?
Does this decision or action represent who I am, a follower of Jesus Christ?
Does this decision align God’s overall plan for my life?
Does my action and conversation align with who I claim to be?
Does my decision or action honor God? If you are thinking about doing something and you don’t have peace or cannot sleep, let it go.
Will this decision result in unrest and regret for the rest of my life?
Can I expect God to bless and reward me for making this decision?
God has a purpose and plan for my life and He wants the best for me. Am I going to trust God with my life?”

The Believer’s Prayer of Repentance: “Lord, I have lived my entire life thinking my own thoughts and pleasing myself. And for this sin, I ask for forgiveness. I surrender my will to You and ask You to direct me in all my decisions for the remainder of my life. Lord, I want Your best plans for my life, and I am willing to change whatever needs to be changed. In faith, I ask this prayer in Jesus’ Righteous Name, Amen.”

Preparing For An Eternal Life of Worshiping God, Begins Now

Accepting Christ Makes Us Heirs of His Grace

“Remind them…to obey, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men…” (Titus 3:1-2)

Every day, our thoughts, behaviors, habits, and lifestyle reveals if we are living a sanctified life of faithful obedience, preparing for an eternity of worshiping God.

God’s Gift of Salvation and Redemption; Titus 3:4-7:

“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done,”

“but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration [rebirth] and renewing of the Holy Spirit…”

“whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

Through daily personal worship, we reveal our love, loyalty, faith, and trust in God, demonstrated by a life of daily surrender and obedience to God’s plans.

Self-governance and self-reliance, the bitter fruits of pride, cannot be present in the hearts of Christ’s dedicated followers.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.” (Isaiah 55:8).

Jesus tells us that we cannot use our thoughts to follow Him on the Narrow Path of Righteousness, which requires a sacrificial life of self-denial and dedication to Christ, our Shepherd.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14, NIV).

Preparing One Day At a Time For Eternity With God

The Prayer of Humility: “Lord God, reveal to us everything that is standing in the way of worshiping You in surrender and with faithful obedience. In Jesus’ Righteous Name, we pray, Amen.”
