Everyone is a candidate for salvation through Jesus Christ! Doctor John Easter shares incredible stories from the mission field that remind us of our holy calling—to tell others about the love of Jesus. We may not all be called to foreign countries, but we can be missionaries in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and families. Wherever God has placed us, we have the capacity to tell people about salvation!

People can be very aggravating. It is only by the Holy Spirit working within us that we can avoid lashing out at others sometimes! Our lives are testimonies of the Lord—we’d better handle things well. The Bible says that it is to our glory to overlook an offense. We Christians don’t pray for patience often enough. Let’s pray for patience from the Holy Spirit so that we can glorify God when altercations arise.

Only God can take a damaged past—heartbreak, substance abuse, adultery—and create a beautiful life. When we say yes to Jesus by accepting His gift of salvation and following Him every day, He turns our lives around! No matter how far down we go, Jesus can always bring us back to glory. What does God want to do in your life? Will you say yes to Him today?

We all need a Samuel experience. Remember Samuel from the Bible? When God called him as a young child, Samuel said, “Speak, Lord.” All Israel’s history was changed because a little boy received a word from the Lord. Let’s pray to have open hearts to whatever God wants us to hear! Our lives can be radically changed by a few powerful words if they’re from the Lord. He’s speaking today. Are we listening?

We tend to think that greatness comes by pushing our way to the top. But God's way are upside down from ours—He tells us that if we want to be lifted up, we need to humble ourselves. How can we be full of pride when Jesus went down to the cross for us? Through His grace and humility, God brought Him up to glory. Let’s be humble today—and be more like Jesus.

In life, we all face trials—illness, heartbreak, employment issues, the loss of loved ones. How can we be thankful amid these challenges? Our God is full of grace, mercy, and compassion. He holds us when we feel like everything is falling apart. The Lord is always working, and that’s a reason to be grateful! Let’s thank God for how He heals, holds, and guides us.

We are guaranteed hardships in our Christian lives. Friends will hurt and betray us—it happened to Jesus and Paul! We need to have spiritual maturity during trials. Obstacles in life don't mean God has abandoned us. He will always walk through the hard times with us, and He provides earthly friends to support us, too. Thank the Lord for His faithfulness and for godly friends!

We Christians often hear that the Holy Spirit lives inside of us, but He doesn’t want to just stay there! If we submit to Him, the Holy Spirit manifests Himself through our words and actions so that others can see Jesus in us. When we allow the Holy Spirit to work this way, we reflect the power of a living God. Let’s pray for the Holy Spirit to manifest Himself in our lives. He will do things beyond our imaginations!

All disasters start with little things—a disagreement, a slip-up, an ego. There are always repercussions to our actions! Samson saw this a woman he never should have been with led him to break his covenant with God. Every choice we make either draws us nearer to God or pushes us farther away. No matter how far we drift, God always helps us when we sincerely call on Him! Praise Him for His goodness!

We can’t change what we don’t confront. The Angel of the Lord wrestled with Jacob and asked him to define the strongholds in his life. Once we, like Jacob, name our battles, we can defeat them! God uses every crisis we face to change us and draw us closer to Him. It’s time we stop running from our problems and hand them over to God!
