6/25/25


Good morning, Friends,


1 Thessalonians 5:25 NLT

[25] Dear brothers and sisters, pray for us.


In the final greeting in this letter to the Christians at Thessalonica, Paul request prayer, as him and his team continue on their journey. It probably doesn't seem like a big deal because many times people ask us to pray for them. These requests come from folks from various walks of life, cultures,  neighborhoods, situations, circumstances, experiences,  upbringings, backgrounds, religions, regions, ideologies, and personalities.


The bottom line is that they feel comfortable enough to ask for prayer. A person who may not know you, or the status of your relationship with the true God, seeks your help with getting a message to the Most High. (Pause) Wrestle with that thought for a moment. Hear the prayer request. Listen closely.


Active listening is a skill developed through practice and intention. The intention is not to respond but to purposefully extrapolate the true meaning of another person's words by processing it through compassion and understanding. 


Prayer is an act of intimacy. It denotes a relationship to the one in which you are praying to. When someone requests prayer, they are assuming you have a relationship with God. If time permits, pray for them right then and there. If not, make sure to do so when time permits. 


Friends, you have been tasked with a wonderful opportunity, don't fumble the ball.  Someone is counting on you to deliver a message of importance. 


Remember, the prayers of a righteous person has significant power and effectiveness. 


PEACE ✌🏾 OUT!!!


Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)


- Grace & Peace

    This is God! How many people actually pray for the person who is asking for prayer or even when people say "I'll pray for you". Prayer is key for self and one another, a way to communicate with the one who is able to do all things. We must do our part for our brothers and sister in Christ, and those who are lost but believe that we as believers have an open line to the father.

Devotional Reading - December 16, 2025

12/16/25 Good morning, Friends,  Acts 4:12 - [12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. BOLDNESS! In the chapter before this, Peter heals a man who had been disabled his whole life. The crowd is amazed. Everyone’s staring at Peter and John like they’re the heroes. But Peter shuts all that down immediately. He tells them straight up: “This wasn’t us. This was God working through Jesus Christ.” Peter refuses the spotlight and points all the credit where it belongs. That’s the same bold truth behind this verse, Jesus Christ alone saves. No exceptions. No substitutes. No backup plans. Peter is standing in front of religious leaders who believed they were right with God because of rules, traditions, and family history. And Peter doesn’t sugarcoat it. He tells them clearly: none of that saves you. Not religion. Not good behavior. Not being sincere. Not choosing another spiritual lane. Only J...

  10/29/25 Good morning, Friends,  Luke 22:33–34 (LSB) — “But he said to Him, ‘Lord, with You I am ready to go both to prison and to death!’ But He said, ‘I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.’” Peter really meant well. His heart was full of passion and loyalty when he told Jesus he’d follow Him anywhere,  even to prison or death. But when the pressure hit, fear took over, and Peter did exactly what he swore he wouldn’t: he denied Jesus three times . This moment reminds us that good intentions aren’t the same as strong faith. Sometimes we’re like Peter, real quick to say, “Lord, I’ll never turn my back on You,” but then life gets real. The heat rises, the crowd’s watching, and suddenly we shrink back. Jesus wasn’t trying to embarrass Peter; He was exposing Peter’s weakness so He could strengthen 💪 him later. God still does that with us today. He lets us see how fragile our confidence is when it’s built on...

Devotional Reading - January 1, 2026

  01/01/26 Happy new year and O' happy day! Good morning, Friends,  Luke 17:5 - And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith! In this passage Jesus was teaching His disciples about forgiveness, not the easy kind, but the kind that keeps forgiving even when it’s hard, frustrating, and painful. He was calling them to be patient and long-suffering with people who mess up again and again. The disciples realized real quick that they didn't have enough faith to carry this out on their own. They could've complained, threw a tantrum, got an attitude with Jesus, but the radical part about it is they didn't act fake or make excuses. They went straight to Jesus and said, “Increase our faith.” That’s a powerful moment right there! The disciples understood that following Jesus isn’t just about trying harder. Sometimes it’s about admitting, “Lord, I don’t have what this requires.” They saw a spiritual gap in themselves and knew only Jesus could fill it. Check it out, incr...
