Exodus 4:29–31 says, “Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders of the Israelites, and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before the people, and they believed. And when they heard that the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.”

Moses and Aaron gathered the elders of the children of Israel, who had been in captivity for 400 years. They lived under a dominant and oppressive culture, lacking freedom and facing constant mockery. The people questioned the strength of God. 

We also face doubts and struggles, wondering, "Where's God in my time of need?" Just as Moses and Aaron did signs to show God's presence, we come to you today and declare you can be free. We can trust in God’s power. Let's not be discouraged by our limitations but learn to deliver God's message of hope to others. 

It's time to pray.

In 1 Corinthians 1:26–29, Paul the apostle says, “Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.”

His message is to prevent anyone from boasting about their abilities. Instead, our identity and wisdom come from being in Christ Jesus. By the Spirit of God, we become everything that God has called us to be. If you find yourself somewhere between foolishness and nothing, you are God's chosen representative in this generation. It's time to embrace this calling and begin glorifying the Lord through it.

It's time for us to pray.

Everything seems to be broken down in this nation. It's time to call out to God; we shouldn't wait until it's too late. I pray that God would help us move beyond our natural thinking and what our eyes can see. Let's not settle for mediocrity when God wants to do miraculous things around us. 

Let's ask God for the grace to believe in Him. Our children can be set free from captivity in our school systems. Our families can be restored, and our marriages can be rebuilt. We need to pray that immorality will no longer be seen as moral. This nation needs a spiritual awakening. 

Let's call out to Jesus because no one else can help us. No political system or court can solve America's spiritual and moral problems. Only God can touch the hearts of all the people.

The heart of this nation is sick, and we need God to heal our country. He can bring healing, not just to individuals but to whole nations. There may be reasons why we think God shouldn't intervene, but there is no reason why He can't. 

Lately, my prayer has been to appeal to God's mercy, knowing it will endure forever. I know He's a God of justice and judgment, but mercy is at the heart of everything He does. I encourage you today to call out. Jesus is near, and now is the time to lift our voices for our families, homes, and children and for civility and racial reconciliation.

It's not time to be silent. It's time for us to call out to the living God boldly. His mercy endures forever. Lift your voice today!

The book of 1 Corinthians 1 tells us God chooses the weak, the nobodies, and the nothings of this world. He transforms us, gives us power over our fears, and sends us a message of redemption. 

The power of Hell was destroyed when Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The good news is that the Devil cannot hold you anymore. Your freedom begins the moment you believe. Despite challenging circumstances and strong addictions, God declares that you will be set free. Choose to believe Him and His words. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ, and enter your freedom today.

My brother, my sister, it's time to pray.

In Acts 27, even though the ship was sinking, Paul's unwavering confidence in God inspired others to hold on. Amidst the chaos, the waves threatened to destroy the boat, and the odds of survival were almost zero. As others witnessed Paul’s faith, they found courage and held onto whatever they could as the ship fell apart.

In our generation, when lives seem to be crumbling, your trust in God can inspire others to cling to the cross. The cross remains trustworthy and capable of guiding us to safety. When we put our confidence in God, a song of assurance resonates within us. It will not only impact those close to us but also draw people, even our enemies, to the presence of God in each of our lives. 

Through the indwelling of God's Holy Spirit, our song of confidence will bring transformation. 

It's time now to pray.

I want to tell you today that in Christ, nothing is lost. He restores everything life and Hell have tried to take away from you. He formed you and knew you before you were conceived in your mother's womb. 

God said through the prophet Jeremiah, I know my plans for you. These plans are for good, not evil, to bring you to a desired end. God knows what He can do in your life. He can place a song of joy, beauty, and praise in you. You won't be able to contain it!

God can take you from being a ruined vessel, put you on the master's table, and mold you so that people will say with astonishment, “Who made this vessel?” The Lord can do all these things for you if you simply let His hand touch your life. Allow Him; He wants to. 

Remember, it's time to pray.

I refuse to live beneath God's inheritance for my life. I'm grateful that my name is written in the Book of Life and that Heaven is my home, but I desire more. I want my life to make a difference. 

I want to see men, women, and children set free from captivity and brought into the land of God's promise through Jesus Christ. In the last days, God has promised to raise a standard to push back the plans of evil. I'm determined not to settle for anything less than my inheritance in Jesus Christ. 

Let's embrace our role in God's plan and be part of something greater than ourselves. We were always God's Plan A for our generation, and now is the time to step forward and fulfill His purpose for each of our lives. How do you find the purpose? Start reading God's Word and talk to Him. 

It's time to pray.

Since my twenties, I believe there will be a great turning to God in a calamity, fear, and crisis season. The Lord spoke this to my heart, assuring me that countless people would turn to Him in such vast quantities that they couldn't even be counted. 

My deepest desire is to see pastors alive and passionate in pulpits across the country, with every church becoming a burning bush that confronts us with the call of God on each of our lives. It doesn't matter our age, wealth, or ethnicity; the call of God is on each of us. 

Let us be confronted by a holy God whenever we gather in His house. Let's fervently seek Him and ask Him to ignite a fire in our churches and our hearts. How will this change happen? When we begin to lift our voices to the throne of God to find help in our time.

A man of God named Leonard Ravenhill once wisely said, “Instead of running all over the country, chasing after something happening somewhere else, we can simply go into our prayer closet and be in the presence of the same God.” 

He reminded us that not everything we encounter is truly from God. It's crucial to maintain our first love and not rely on past successes alone without a living relationship with God. We can't expect to finish this race in victory. Let's reflect today on our lives and prioritize our connection with God. Let's enter our season of prayer and seek His presence and guidance. May we never lose sight of our first love and continually nurture our relationship with Him.
