In Acts 27, the Apostle Paul stood on the sinking ship's deck with a group of people who had lost all hope. He brought them a message of encouragement, telling them to be of good cheer because he had heard from God about their future. 

The Word of God can come to us even when everything around us seems to be failing. When everything else is gone, we can find comfort in knowing that Jesus Christ is still there for each one of us. Let us hold onto this truth and find the strength we need today in His presence. 

Join us Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org as we pray with people worldwide. We're praying for strength, deliverance, and victory, and we're praying for an end-time move of God's Holy Spirit.

It's time to pray.

I'm grateful to God for the assistance provided by His Holy Spirit as we walk with Him. I'm thankful to Jesus for the strength that only He can give us in these challenging times. I also appreciate the divine influence on His Word and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. 

As we pray today and in the coming days, we ask God to allow this divine intervention to touch us powerfully. We ask to be set free from all of our limitations and to be enabled to bring glory to His name. Let’s actively seek God's presence and allow Him to work through us again.

Join us at 7:00 PM EST every Wednesday at itstimetopray.org as people from up to 211 countries and dependencies believe together in these last days.

In these dark times, the Lord will strengthen His people and bless us with peace—it’s the essence of who He is and what He does. I'm not speaking merely from theory but from personal experience. 

I have been through the wilderness, encountered obstacles, and wrestled with uncertainty about the future. I've known what despair and the weight of deep wounds feel like. I can testify that Christ has always been faithful to me amid these trials. I encourage you to draw near God, seek His guidance, and stand firm in His promises. 

Consider joining us any Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org. Join with people worldwide who believe in God to give us strength for His promises to become our reality.

1 Kings 18:30 says, “Then Elijah said to all the people, ‘Come near to me.’ So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down.”

The prophet Elijah called the people back to true worship when he said, “Come near me.” Jesus Christ invites our generation to do the same—one more time. All we have to do is look around and see how far we have fallen from God. 

If you're tired of the emptiness, powerlessness, worship that's leaving you bankrupt, and incivility in our society, the good news is that there is hope. A voice still rises above all human effort and says to you, “Come near to me.” It's the voice of God. 

It's time to pray.

When we surrendered our lives to Christ, we stepped into His divine purpose for each of us. Our purpose revolves around glorifying His name. 

God’s calling equips us to accomplish things beyond our capabilities. He instills in us a compassionate heart for others, grants us strength more significant than our own, and sets us on a path that we never imagined we would walk. God’s nature is incredible, as is His work in our lives. 

Yet, there comes a moment when every one of us has to respond. We can identify that moment when we wholeheartedly say, “God, from this time forward, count me in.” Let's move forward today and allow the Holy Spirit to use us to bring glory to His name. Ask God to do that in your life today. 

It's time to pray.

Psalm 27:12–13 says, “Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence. I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

Despite false witnesses and threats of violence, David believed in God's goodness. He encourages us also to trust in His strength. Our last hope can be our best hope. God can provide a way out when we place it in God's hands, even in our darkest moments. Let us hold onto faith and find our hope in God's redemption. 

Join us every Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org, where people from all over the world gather together and believe together for an end-time move of God's Holy Spirit. 

It's now time to pray.

In a world that's being influenced by evil forces seeking to redefine values and eradicate godliness from society, the church must rise. It's your time to bring glory to God and allow Him to magnify His name through your life. 

Each person experiences a moment in their journey where they are compelled to answer the call of God. It's based on something other than our credentials, achievements, or even a track record of faithfulness. What truly matters is that we hear His voice and move towards it. 

His touch will transform us. From the inside out, we are changed by the powerful presence of God within us. Let us now rise in faith, allowing God to work through us for His glory. Ask Him to do it in your life today. Lift your voice. 

It's time to pray.

Luke 4:17–18 says: “And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.’”

Everyone has a hope in their heart that life will be better. You hope for the best for your family and children, that you might get out of trouble, a struggle, or despair. This day, Jesus said, this scripture is fulfilled for you if you believe it. 

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Today, let these verses be fulfilled in your heart and your life. Your hope is indeed a reality in Jesus Christ. 

Remember my brother, my sister. It's time to pray.

Numbers 11:1 says, “Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp.”

These people had been set free from captivity in Egypt. They'd been released to a place where they'd been given incredible promise. Yet they complained. Do we do that? 

The Bible tells us that man is born to complain. It seems so hard to praise God and focus our thoughts on what is true, right, lovely, and good. When we complain, we get overwhelmed and lose spiritual vision. When we lose spiritual vision, we begin to agree with the Devil. My friend, guard your heart, words, and mind.

Above all, it's time to pray.

The everliving and everlasting God assures us that He will never fail, leave, or abandon us. He came to give us life abundantly, and we are new creations in Christ. The old things in our lives lose their grip, and everything becomes new daily. 

God instills in our hearts the belief that there is a fresh journey awaiting us, new things that He will do within us and through us. The beauty of His grace is that it never stops. There's no age limit where God stops working in our lives; He continues to work until our last breath and beyond. 

When we're absent from our physical bodies, we will suddenly find ourselves in the presence of the Lord. In that moment, we will be so glad we never let go of our confidence in Him. Thank Him for it today.

It's time to pray.
