Carter Conlon | Daily Devotionals

I want to remind you that the voice of the Lord shatters addiction, dispels depression, and guides us from weakness to newfound strength. His voice unlocks prison doors and sets the captive free. It reaches the depths of every wound in our hearts and brings His healing. 

When we're blinded by uncertainty, God’s voice illuminates the path ahead. It empowers us to believe that through Jesus Christ, all things are possible. Let us heed the voice of the Lord and embrace His transformative power. Rise, take hold of God’s promises, and enter the freedom and boundless possibilities that await. Hear His voice today and say “Yes” to the call.

Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST, where people worldwide hear His voice and say “Yes.” 

It's time to pray.

If you give your life to Christ, He will be faithful. He will keep you, deliver you, and set you free. He will bless you and give you a reason to live. He'll be with you when you face trials and difficulties. God promises to walk with you throughout the storms of your life. 

In every trial you have to pass, you will know Him as a friend who stays closer than a brother. You'll suddenly see that you're in the hands of God, and He has everything under control if you give your life to Jesus. 

God promises that Heaven will be your eternal home when you leave this world, and He will walk with you into eternity. Learn to trust Him. Find the joy and freedom won for you on the cross of Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago. Ask God to make it real; talk to Him right now. 

It's time to pray.

James 3:11 says, “Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?”

We all need to choose what kind of speech we will use. We want to avoid becoming partakers of the counsel of the ungodly. As a child of God, I'm not going to be found furthering the objectives of darkness with my speech. I will speak for God and don't care what that costs me. I don't care who likes it and who doesn't.

If I continue to walk in the counsel of the ungodly, if my conversation is partnered with the godless, it won't be long before I'm standing in the path of sinners. As a man or woman believes in his heart, scripture tells us clearly that that's what he or she becomes. In this coming season before us, let our voices be heard on the throne of God. 

It's time to pray.

Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the paths of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.”

This message is so important, especially in this generation when there is so much ungodly speech. We're inundated with words of division, vilification, suggestions of violence, and hate. God tells us as His people that if we walk in His counsel and choose to walk and talk in a way He says is correct, we will be blessed.

It's time to protect our hearts and minds from wrong thinking. It's time to turn off the voices of the scornful. It's time to remember who put breath into our lungs and why. My brothers and sisters, let's use our voices for something that can change eternity. 

It's time for us, again, to pray.

Do you want a new and abundant life in Jesus Christ? Believe that God loves you. Believe that He came to the earth as a man and took your punishment on the cross, paying the price for the wrong things that you have done. 

Say these words: "Jesus, I come to you. I believe in your power to raise me from death, to give me life, and to turn my mess into praise for your namesake. I surrender my life, home, family, mind, and body to you. I trust that you'll bring glory into my life, forgive me of my sin, and give me a new heart, mind, spirit, and future." 

Pray this simple prayer with me: Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your unwavering love. I give you my life, and I trust that everything I've become will be because of you. From this day forward, you're the Lord of my life. 

Heaven is celebrating right now. It's time for us to pray.

I want to challenge you to embrace the call of God without resistance. Now is the moment to set aside human strategies and plans. True revival is simply people like you and I saying, "Yes, Lord, let's not make it complicated." 

Today, let us surrender to God, acknowledging His sovereignty as the creator of all things. I'm ready to yield my life to His purposes, wherever it may lead, whatever it may shape me into, and whatever message He may give me to proclaim. Let us wholeheartedly ask God to allow us to say “yes” to the call and begin to stand. 

Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org, where people from all over the world gather together and say, "God, we recognize the hour, and we're asking you for the strength to be living witnesses of you."

 It's time now to pray.

According to the scriptures, one of the first signs that we've entered the last days is that there will be an unleashing of deception in this world. Another sign is that many people of God will grow cold to the Word and work of God. 

There will be a temptation in all of us to draw back and not be concerned about the loss because it will get so violent and vile. I am convinced that we've crossed the border into these days. There's a sudden release of immorality and confusion all over the world. 

We will have to fight this temptation of getting cold and drawing back. We must fight to stay in the calling of God that He has placed in each of us. Don't draw back, my brother. Don't draw back now, my sister. Keep moving forward in His strength. We have the victory. We have the inward presence of God, and because of it, we have the heart of God. 

Remember, it's time to pray.

It's time to pray that God will fortify us and prepare us for the days we've entered. We need to keep our minds focused on truth. We need to walk in the pathway that God has laid out for each one of us. We need to have confidence in the Word of God. 

We cannot be turned to the left or right from anything God has said to us or will speak to us in the future. We must allow the Lord to guide us through the current confusion. The chaos and confusion will only increase until the Lord comes back. 

Ask God to give you the strength you need to stay on track. We cannot afford to go backward but must start and continue to move forward in His strength. Even so, we will make a big difference if we do so in His Kingdom for His glory. Start to believe it. Ask God for the faith to believe. 

It's time to pray.

Luke 17:3–4 says, “If your brother sins against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day and seven times in a day returns to you saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him. And the apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.’”

Jesus says, "You will forgive them each time they come back to you and say, 'What I did was wrong.' Even though they go out and repeatedly do it." That's why the disciples said, "Lord, increase our faith." 

I don't know about you, but I can't do this. We live in a society that's filled with bitterness. It's filled with blame and rehearsed grievances of the past, present, and future. Blame, hate, finger-pointing, lying, and cursing are getting to the point where people are advocating violence. We need to ask for faith to be able to forgive. 

It's time to pray.

Although we live in dark times, God will bring us through the seas of impossibility. He will lift us out of places of death, trying to wrap ourselves around our minds, lives, and futures. 

You might feel far from God, but there's a day coming if you believe when God can set you free and your life on a new course. Even if you feel you don't have a place in His Kingdom, you do. He will call you, bringing praise and glory to His name. There's a day when you're going to walk down the streets of your town and testify of His power. You'll have a strength in your life that you never had before. 

Why will all this happen? The reason is simple: He died for you and loves you with everlasting love. Talk to God about His plan for your life today. 

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