The nation of Israel endured seven years of oppression and cried out to God for deliverance. In response, God raised up Gideon to lead them. God instructed Gideon to construct an altar and demolish the false gods worshipped by the rebellious Israelites, emphasizing the need to remove false gods and idols. Similarly, we are urged to eliminate anything in our lives that does not reflect God's image. Reflect on the idols or false gods that may be exerting control over your life today, and consider what aspects you need to surrender to God.

We commonly cling to lies and negative labels spoken over our lives, accepting them as truths. However, when God reveals our true identities, we often doubt and find excuses to reject the positive affirmations He lovingly gives to us. God sees greatness within you and envisions using you as an instrument for driving change and making a positive impact on those around you. So today, ask yourself, how is God calling me to step up today?

Faith is not the absence of fear, it’s the presence of trust in the midst of fear. Faith in God doesn’t eliminate fear, it overrides fear; this can be seen when God is speaking to Joshua as he is trying to lead the Israelite people.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Holiness is what God wants for us: to be set apart and fully His.

“And [ the angels ] were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’”- Isaiah 6:3 (NIV)

Holy is not used to describe God; sometimes, it is who He is all the time. Today, Pastor Carlos will discuss what it means to go deeper in holiness.

God wants to be known and be known by you. He desires to have a personal relationship and quality time together. Jesus first called his disciples to be in His presence rather than focusing on outward actions or changing the world. To remain in Jesus is to align your life so that everything moves toward more intimacy with God.

In moments of darkness when you feel lost, desperate, and overwhelmed, Jesus stands by your side, offering light, hope, and healing. As you embrace the light and experience transformation in your life, you'll be empowered to extend that same healing and hope to others with Jesus by your side.

“As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, ‘Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.’ So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.” (Mark 5:18-20 NIV)

Remember, there's nothing in your life that God can't uncover. Jesus will always be there to cover you in His righteousness. This truth is beautifully illustrated in the story found in Mark 5, where Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man.
