We are now active participants in the Kingdom of God, and the devil is well aware of the power that you and I possess. Even the weakest among us, when filled with the power of God, can cause significant damage to the enemy’s plans and the forces that seek to keep this generation in captivity. 

It’s time for us to step forward and break through any barriers that are holding us back. The Church of Jesus Christ is not a spectator sport—it is meant for active engagement by all people. While it’s inspiring to celebrate the journeys of those who have gone before us and have been used by God, we must not see the body of Christ as an exclusive club. 

Each one of us has a unique calling and purpose that will bring glory to God on the earth. Embrace your calling today. Move toward it and take action to fulfill this calling in Christ. 

Talk to God about it. 

It’s time to pray. 

The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the forests bare; and in His temple everyone says, “Glory!” (Psalm 29:8-9) 

When the Lord finds a spirit that is willing, a heart that won’t resist Him, and has no need to reason everything out, there’s no limit to what God can do through that vessel. 

All God needs is one person in your family, one person in your community, one person who will say yes. And when you say yes, His voice in a barren, dry, and empty place will bring life to dust and tear down all the opposition of the enemy—to the point where we cry out, “Glory!” Or, if you live in the South, you say, “Glory!” 

Let’s believe Him for glory in and through all of our lives today, my brother, my sister. 

Remember, it’s time to pray. 

I want to remind you today that we shouldn’t play games with God or start thinking that our thoughts are better than His. His words bring light, and in Christ, we have the promise of becoming a new creation. 

Let’s walk according to His thoughts, not our own. Ask Him today for wisdom with the right intentions, trusting that God, as He says, will give it to you generously. Let the light within you remain bright and not turn to darkness. 

Ask God today to guard your heart and keep you alive in Him. Ask Him to search you, as David prayed, and reveal anything within you that needs to change. This generation needs to see His church shining brightly again. 

Ask Him to deliver you from compromise and help you love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Join with us every Wednesday night at 7:00 PM eastern time at its time to pray.org because it's now time to pray.  

“We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and He will deliver us again. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us.” (2 Corinthians 1:8-10) 

This is the Apostle Paul—chosen by God to write much of the New Testament—and yet he faced immense hardship. Despite these challenges, he persevered. 

Let his example inspire you today to stand firm in your struggles. 

Talk to God about it today—He will be faithful to you, my brother and my sister. 

It’s time to pray. 

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you’ve carried him away, tell me where you’ve laid him, and I will take him away.” 

Jesus said to her, “Mary.” 

She turned and said to him, “Rabboni,” which is to say, “Teacher.” 

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God.’” (John 20:15-17) 

This fallen world will always try to keep Jesus out of view and out of the public consciousness. The problem they have is that He is everywhere at all times—waiting, longing to bring us into His wonderful victory. 

This Easter, why don’t you pray? Ask Him to reveal Himself to you again. He will. He’s waiting. 

It’s time to pray. 

But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb. She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had laid. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they’ve taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 

Now, when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you’ve carried him away, tell me where you’ve laid him, and I will take him away.” 

Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabbi,” which is to say, “Teacher” (John 20:11-16). 

Easter Sunday reminds us that nothing or no one on this earth has the power to keep Jesus hidden when we truly seek Him. He is resurrected, victorious, present, and all-powerful. 

It’s time to pray. 

To new believers—you may have finally found what you’ve been searching for: a relationship with God that brings peace and abundance. However, like David in Psalm 23, you will face challenges. 

In verse 4, he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, feeling uncertain and hunted by an insane king. Every Christian faces trials, and in these seasons, it’s easy to feel as though God’s promises aren’t true. 

But remember Peter’s words in 1 Peter 4:12-14, reminding us not to be surprised by fiery trials as if they were something strange. And Jesus assures us in John 16:33 that while we will face tribulations, He has overcome the world. 

Trust that God is with you today. Lean on prayer, seek His face, and know that He will guide you through every valley toward peace and restoration. 

It’s time to pray. 

Whatever God is saying to you, take the time to listen and obey. Start there, and you’ll be amazed at the transformation that follows. 

I can promise you this: in a week, a month, or even a year from now, you will find yourself filled with joy, eager for worship to continue, because you have made the right choices. You’ll be standing at the right altar, connected with God, with the promise of finishing strong in victory. 

Embrace this moment and open your heart now to His voice. Trust and obey God, and just watch how it will change your life. Why don't you join us every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. eastern time at itstimetopray.org. There's people from 211 countries and dependencies coming together, and we're praying for an end-time spiritual move of God. We're praying for freedom. We're praying for God to be God in each one of our lives. 

My brother, my sister, 

It’s time to pray.
