You don’t have to be an expert to know that there is a huge difference between daylight and nighttime. No one’s going to contest that black and white colors are complete opposites.

Today, Pastor Johnny reiterates what it means to be a child of the light. He explains the importance of avoiding those dark alleys of sin.

f people could see what’s going on in the inner gears of your heart and mind, would you be comfortable with their knowledge of such intimate things? Most of what is spoken or thought about is information you’ve taken in. Pastor Johnny gives a strong exhortation today about guarding your heart by keeping watch over what enters your mind. The world is offering a vast amount of darkness and it’s like walking through a minefield blindfolded. Instead, walk in the light that shows the way.

Sometimes, you’re faced with a decision that’s all or nothing. There’s no staying neutral in the middle.

Today, Pastor Johnny points to scripture regarding the weighty eternal decision you must make as well as the follow-through of that choice. If you’re going to commit, don’t stand on the edge debating if you want to dip your toes in. Instead, submerge yourself fully into a life-giving faith.

When any military is making strategies against their enemy, they pinpoint the various tactics that may be attempted and anticipate those assaults by being armed and ready as much as possible. In your spiritual life, you can do the same in being proactive against your foe, Satan.

Satan’s attempts to bully you can only go so far when you have an omnipotent God on your side.

Fortunately, you can resist this battle with some powerful weapons that God provides for your well-being.

How healthy is your prayer life in this moment? Today, Pastor Johnny inspires you to think of prayer in a way that shows your willingness to put God in the driver’s seat of your life. If you’ve chosen a relationship with God, He has bestowed you with the Holy Spirit. So utilize His Spirit within you for powerful prayer.

If you’re a parent or you’ve ever taken care of children, you know that there are times to say yes to things and there also are limits to where you have to say no, for the betterment of the child. They may not see it your way, but your experience and broader insight to the situation knows what’s best for them. God is the same with you and your desires that you ask for in prayer. You might think you know what’s best. Today, Pastor Johnny asks you to question whether your request is your will or God’s will.

You make time for the things that matter to you. There’s the morning coffee, the lunch outing with a co-worker, working out at the gym, and of course, the show on t.v. in the evening. Do you happen to have any margin in your day for prayer? Today, Pastor Johnny emphasizes the importance of having a daily diet of prayer to God. You may think you’re ok without it, but in actuality, prayer is the frontline of where the spiritual battles are waged. With God on your side, who can stand against you?

Pastor Johnny will help you discover the good intentions God has for you when you seek Him with all of your heart and mind.
