Remnant Warriors Rise

In this episode, we're talking about the power of stepping out in faith—even when the path ahead feels unclear. God often calls us to obey before we have all the answers. And let's be real, that's not always easy! But obedience in uncertain seasons unlocks His favor and leads us into purpose. If you've been wrestling with fear or hesitation, this one's for you. Let's trust Him together and take that next step!

God didn't just give you life—He invested Himself in you. His Spirit, His love, His purpose—it's all woven into who you are. That means you're not just existing; you're carrying divine value. When God invests, He expects a return. So live boldly, love deeply, and walk in His purpose. You are His masterpiece—created to reflect His glory. Make His investment count!

Your legacy matters more than you know. The way you live for Jesus today is like a puzzle piece in God's bigger picture—shaping the next generation of believers. Every prayer you pray, every act of faith, every moment of obedience—it all fits perfectly into what God is building. Don't underestimate your influence. Stay faithful, stay bold, and leave a legacy that echoes through eternity. The next generation is counting on it!

Your history with God is a powerful thing. Every moment He's carried you, every prayer He's answered—it all builds a foundation you can stand on when life gets tough. When fear creeps in, you can look back and say, “God was faithful then, and He'll be faithful now.” Your past victories remind you that He's still writing your story. Keep trusting!

Your voice carries weight. In a world that tries to silence truth, now is the time to speak up—for your faith, for righteousness, for the things of God. Boldness isn't arrogance; it's obedience. When you stand for truth, heaven backs you up. Don't shrink back. Declare His word. Stand firm in His promises. Be a voice that shifts atmospheres and points people to Jesus. The world needs your fire. Now is the time!

God often stirs our hearts toward new things—not to overwhelm us, but to grow us. It's easy to cling to the familiar, but real transformation happens when we step into the unknown with faith. Trust that His plans are greater than your fears. Lean into what He's calling you to—whether it's a dream, a new ministry, or a bold step of obedience. He's already gone before you. Will you trust Him with what's next? SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY: https://shareyourtestimony.us ➡️ let me know in the comments if I can pray for you!

Have you built a personal altar to the Lord in your life? It's not about stones or wood but a heart set on seeking Him daily. A personal altar is where we meet with God, worship, and surrender. It's also where we're reminded of the power of Jesus' blood to cleanse us. Let's stay close to Him, keeping our hearts pure and lives surrendered. Revival starts in the altar of your heart!

The fullness of time is here—God's promise isn't just on the horizon; it's unfolding now! This is the moment we've been praying for, the season where His plans come alive. But here's the thing: it requires our step of faith. We can't sit back waiting for the perfect conditions. It's time to trust, obey, and walk boldly into the purpose He's calling us to. Don't let fear or hesitation hold you back—step in, and watch God move in ways you've never imagined. His promise is here, and it's yours for the taking!

God isn't distant—He's closer than your next breath. He longs to speak to you, not in some vague or general way, but personally. He knows your struggles, your dreams, and the questions you've been carrying. He wants to guide you, comfort you, and remind you of how deeply loved you are. Sometimes it's a whisper in your heart, a scripture that leaps off the page, or a moment of peace in chaos. Are you listening? Take time today to quiet the noise and lean into His voice. He's waiting, ready to meet you right where you are. You matter to Him.

When we walk in faithfulness and obedience to God, it's like tuning into the clearest signal of His voice. It's not about being perfect—none of us are—but it's about aligning our hearts with His will. Obedience isn't just about following rules; it's an act of love and trust. When we say “yes” to God, even in the small things, we create space for Him to speak more clearly into our lives. Think about it: why would God reveal more if we aren't stewarding what He's already given us? Faithfulness builds trust. Obedience opens doors. Suddenly, the whisper of His Spirit becomes unmistakable, and His guidance feels more tangible. If you've been longing to hear from the Lord in a deeper way, start with what He's already asked of you. Your faithfulness in the present is the foundation for the revelation He wants to pour into your future. Stay faithful—He's speaking!

Have you ever prayed for something, and when God's plan finally starts unfolding, fear sneaks in? It's wild how we can long for God to use us, only to feel totally underqualified or unprepared when the door opens. Here's the truth: God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. If He's been preparing you for this moment, He'll equip you to step into it. The fear you're feeling isn't a reflection of your abilities—it's a reflection of how big God's plan is. That's a good thing! If you could handle it all on your own, you wouldn't need Him. Remember Moses? He didn't think he was ready to confront Pharaoh. Or David? A shepherd boy taking on Goliath? God specializes in using people who feel ill-prepared to do extraordinary things. Why? So that when it all comes together, it's obvious it was Him working through you. So if you're standing at the edge of something new and fear is whispering, “You're not ready,” remind yourself: God is your strength, your wisdom, and your provider. Trust Him. Step in faith, not in your feelings. You're exactly where He wants you. If He brought you to it, He'll carry you through it. Let's walk boldly into His plan together!

It is a powerful stewardship given to you from the Lord. Don't fail to use what he has placed in your authority! Every election gives us the chance to have a say in the direction of our community, state, and nation. Voting isn't just a civic duty; it's your voice on the issues and leaders that shape our lives. Each vote matters—it's a direct way to express your values, priorities, and hopes for the future. Whether it's a big election or a local one, your vote counts and can make a real difference. So, let's not take it for granted! Make sure you're registered, show up, and let your voice be heard.

God is about to shift your season, and I can feel it in my spirit. For so long, it may have seemed like you were waiting, praying, and holding on to promises that felt just out of reach. But let me encourage you: the wait wasn't wasted. God's timing is perfect, and He's been preparing you for this very moment. He's about to come through on everything He said—every word, every promise, every hope He planted in your heart. This is a season of stepping into His promises, of dwelling in the fullness of what He's prepared for you. So, don't lose heart. Keep trusting, keep believing, because He is faithful, and He always finishes what He starts. Get ready to see His goodness in ways you've only dreamed of. Your season of promise is here!

The enemy is working overtime to silence the church, but we can't afford to stay quiet. He uses distractions, fear, and doubt to keep us from speaking the truth. But now, more than ever, the world needs to hear the message of hope, love, and salvation that only comes through Jesus. It's time to stand firm, speak boldly, and share the Good News without hesitation. The enemy wants us to be silent because he knows the power of our words when we proclaim the truth. Let's remember that God hasn't given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. So, don't let the devil steal your voice. Be courageous, share your faith, and let your light shine bright. The world is listening, and they need to hear the truth. Let's not be silent – let's be loud for Jesus!

As believers, we often talk about the return of Jesus, but how often do we really think about being ready for the rapture? The Bible tells us that Jesus will come like a thief in the night, and no one knows the day or hour. That's why it's so important to stay spiritually alert. Being ready for the rapture means living in a way that reflects our faith daily—walking in love, staying connected to God through prayer and His Word, and sharing the hope we have with others. It's about having our hearts set on eternity, not just the here and now. We don't want to be caught off guard when that day comes! Let's live with a sense of expectation and readiness, keeping our eyes on Jesus and our hope anchored in Him. The time is near—are we prepared? #RaptureReady #LiveForEternity #StayAlert

Life doesn't always go the way we plan, but there's comfort in knowing that God has a greater purpose behind it all. Submitting to His process can feel hard at times—especially when it seems like nothing is happening, or when things don't make sense. But every delay, every detour, every moment of waiting is part of His perfect plan to grow you, stretch you, and prepare you for what's next. Trusting God's process means letting go of control and believing that He sees the bigger picture. It's about finding peace in the waiting, knowing that He is working all things together for your good. Remember, the same God who created you is guiding your steps, even when you can't see the outcome. Let go, trust the process, and watch how He unfolds His purpose in ways beyond your imagination.

In these last days, it's more important than ever for the people of God to embrace the call to become a pure bride for Christ. We are His church, His beloved, and He's coming back for a spotless bride. This means letting go of distractions, sin, and anything that separates us from Him.  It's not about perfection but about pursuing holiness, aligning our hearts with His, and living in a way that reflects His love and truth. In this hour, we need to be set apart, showing the world what it means to truly live for Jesus. The times are urgent, and our response should be one of devotion, purity, and readiness. Let's encourage each other to seek God wholeheartedly, laying down everything that hinders our walk with Him, so we can be the radiant bride He desires. It's time to shine His light brightly!

Letting God use your voice to influence others for His kingdom is such a powerful and beautiful thing. Every day, people around us are searching for hope, encouragement, and truth. God has given each of us a unique voice—a story, a testimony, wisdom—and it's meant to be shared. When you allow God to speak through you, you're not just helping others; you're also stepping into a deeper purpose. Your words, no matter how simple, can spark change, inspire faith, and offer the light of Christ to those who need it most. It doesn't have to be a sermon; it could be a kind word, a moment of vulnerability, or even just a reminder that God loves them. Trust that God can use you to make a difference. Speak life, truth, and love. Your voice matters more than you know!

Let the fire of God ignite your soul! When we allow His fire to spread in our lives, it burns away the things that hold us back—doubt, fear, and sin—and refines what's good within us. It's like a purifying flame, cleansing us and making us stronger, more aligned with His will. Don't be afraid of the heat; embrace it! Trust that God's fire isn't here to destroy but to transform. Let it shape you into the person He created you to be, filled with purpose, passion, and His pure light.

In times like these, it's more important than ever for God's remnant people to stay burning with the fire of the Holy Spirit. This isn't just about maintaining our faith—it's about being a beacon of hope and truth in a world that's so often lost in the dark. When the flame of the Spirit burns within us, it not only fuels our personal walk with God but also lights the way for others. We are called to keep that fire alive through prayer, worship, and staying rooted in His Word. Let's not allow the pressures and distractions of this world to dim our light. Instead, let's stay connected to the source of all power and love, so we can shine brighter and stronger, reflecting God's glory in everything we do. The world needs our light now more than ever!

Full transcript: 00:00 The Lord is raising up a remnant of bold warriors in this generation who will rise up with a message of truth to combat against the darkness of our times. God longs to move and answer your prayers and use you in powerful ways. Will you be a part of this remnant? This is the Remnant Warriors Rise Podcast. 00:34 Wow, God is so good and I'm thankful for all his goodness and I'm glad that you are with me, choosing to be with me on this episode of the podcast. At the outset, I just want to say this, I feel like there may be somebody listening today that you are discouraged about some things that are happening in your life. But let me just say like this, the Lord never promised everything was going to be easy. 01:03 He just did not, but he did promise to be with you in everything and in every area. So my friend, just know that you are not alone today and that God is with you and that he is going to propel you into the place that you need to be as you continue to trust in him. So don't give up and don't quit. 01:29 I want to jump into a topic today that the Lord is beginning to stir in my heart and I'll just simply say it, it's this, it's pressing into the kingdom of God, pressing into the kingdom of God. I really feel like the Lord has laid on my heart this statement, say to my people, it's time for them to learn to press into my kingdom, to press, come on. 01:52 If we're the people of God and the remnant warriors of God that God is using to bring light to the darkness in this last day, then we've got to be people who at all costs press into the kingdom of God. What does it mean to press? What does that mean? 02:12 We get the idea that to press generally means, you know, to push or to shove or to forcefully make room or to push your way into something while at the same time, you know, being pushed and pressed against by that which tries to keep you from your place. I want you to understand that that's important because as you try to get closer to the Lord, so many people are unfamiliar with spiritual warfare. 02:36 I had a conversation with a person just yesterday at the time of this recording and they were talking about spiritual warfare and how oftentimes people just don't understand and they don't believe it's real and they don't think about the reality of the unseen world, but friend, there is a reality to the unseen world and absolutely we are fighting against demonic strongholds and powers that want to keep us down. 03:03 Now I'm not one to advocate looking for a demon behind every bush or demon behind every tree. I don't think that, but at that same time on the flip side of that coin, if you are actively pursuing the Lord Jesus, then the fact is there is actively going to be some demonic warfare pursuing you because you're trying to bring light into places where there 03:30 are strongholds of darkness and that could be in your family, it could be in your marriage, it could be in your workplace. You're trying to bring in light into those areas and so you're forcefully pressing and making room and at the same time you're being pushed against. Sometimes I think we wonder, why am I being pushed so hard? 03:49 Why am I being pressed against so hard? Why is it that everything is coming against me? I'm being pushed and pressed against. Well, it's because you're trying to bring light in a dark place and you're pressing into the kingdom. 04:01 So to press is the act of putting pressure, you know, maybe even to try to get into something and so as we press into the kingdom of God, we're putting pressure on the kingdom of God, we're pushing and pressing our way in. Ironically enough, the dictionary defines it also as an aggressive pressuring defense employed in basketball, often over the entire court area. 04:28 So it's a press to keep the opposite army, if you will, at bay. Not only are we pressing into the kingdom, but we're pressing back against the darkness. So to press into the kingdom of God is to forcefully push your way into those things which God is trying to do in your life and I feel like the Lord is saying, tell and teach my people to press again into my kingdom. 04:53 I feel like there was probably a time in history where we better understood that we were supposed to press into the kingdom of God and frankly speaking, it often comes in times where the church is going through difficult seasons, hard seasons in the earth and in those times that remnant, which is what we are, which is what God is raising up, that remnant of people begin to press and push into the things of God because God is our anchor, our source, 05:25 our stronghold and even though in easy times we know he's that, you look all through scripture and in the easy times, that's when people begin to become lax. That's when people begin to let down their guard and you know what church friend, we've got to press again into the kingdom of God. Press again as if we have once known how, but we've forgotten how and we've forgotten 05:49 the need. We've got to learn again how and remember the need. Let me read you a scripture. The Bible says in Luke 16 beginning verse 14, now the Pharisees who were lovers of money also heard all these things and they derided him. 06:05 Verse 15, and he said to them, you are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts for what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. Verse 16, the law and the prophets, now listen, this is important. The law and the prophets were until John. 06:23 Since that time, he's talking about John the Baptist, since that time, the kingdom of heaven has been preached and everyone is pressing into it. Everyone is pressing into it. It's the same wording in the original language where it talks about in Matthew, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, the violent take it by force. 06:46 In this passage, he says everyone's pressing into the kingdom of God. There are both positive and negative commentaries on this passage of scripture and I enjoy to read what the commentaries say. Some say that people were mindlessly, even flippantly and certainly unrepentantly pressing into Jesus almost as if to get into the newest and latest thing and this is somewhat true. 07:11 There were crowds gathered around him for multiple reasons and we see this even today. The latest church fad, the latest church, the latest trend, the latest spiritual trend, the latest songs and I'm for going forward and progressing in the things of God. I'm absolutely for every church going forward. I'm absolutely for new songs and worship being released into the kingdom of God. 07:39 So don't misunderstand what I'm saying or read something into it. What I'm saying is this, we can almost turn our spiritual life on remote if we're not careful and we can just mindlessly press into these things, but that's not what he's looking for. He's looking for folks who have a heart to press in. 07:58 It's in our heart, not just some mindless activity to sing a new song or just to be entertained. The church is not about entertainment. No, I'm going to remind you though, there were others that were pressed around Jesus for other reasons. 08:15 They were thronging him. One translation says pressing him because, because why? Because of their faith in him and because of their need for healing and for help and they all received as they pressed in. So you had one group that was just like hanging around the periphery. 08:35 They're here just because the, you know, the bread and fish, they're here just because there's some new novel thing. Somebody's casting out demons and healing people. They want to see the show, but yet there's other people who are pressing in because they recognize Jesus. 08:48 They recognize he is the answer to their need and so they are pressing into the kingdom of God for hope's sake. And I believe Jesus is trying to speak about the true press of the spirit to break out into the revival power of God. Again, like I said, it's the same word that, you know, the kingdom of heaven, heaven suffers 09:09 violence and the violent take it by force. And so the Lord wants me to remind you that we are to press into his kingdom the right way and for the right reasons. It's not just to see a new, no. When revival strikes your life, your church, your family, your workplace, your area, your 09:28 region, it's not just a novel thing to, to, to see, Oh, look at the miracles and look at the, it's just, it's not just a novel activity or something to do. No, we press into Jesus for hope's sake and because he has what we need, his kingdom has what we need. Listen, because at the same time that some were pressing in, there were some that, you 09:51 know, and they were pressing in sometimes sincerely, sometimes not, but others were sitting idly by just letting the kingdom of God pass them up. And we still see that there was, and there is a choice that's involved with the kingdom of God as much as some people. So there were really three groups around Jesus. 10:11 There were some that were just seeing the show. There were others that were pressing in for hope. They needed what Jesus had. And then there were others that said, I don't have time for this. And they just let the kingdom of God pass them up. 10:25 But listen, why were people eager to hear the teaching of Jesus? Well, I believe because it gave them hope. They felt, they felt the life that his words imparted. Did you hear me? They felt there was tangible feeling of life that his words imparted. 10:45 And there's a reason for that. The Bible says in John six, verse 63, that is the spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing. Jesus said, the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are alive. And so whenever the words of God were spoken over them, there was life that was imparted 11:03 and they begin to recognize their spiritual need. Church, friend, we've got to recognize our spiritual need and once again, press into the kingdom of God. We've got to press in just like the woman at the well. They could instantly recognize that there was something different about this man named 11:25 Jesus in his words and they had a great desire and an unction to press into him, to press into him, which is also equivalent to pressing into the kingdom. So let me just say this, that pressing into the kingdom the correct way, listen, means pressing into the person of Jesus, pressing into the person of Jesus. We're not trying to get into his kingdom and bypass the king. 11:56 Wow. While some people simply press in to try to get the benefits of the Lord, you know, to truly gain the kingdom of God actually means to press into the person of Jesus because you recognize your need for repentance and you love him and you want him and you desire to be near to him and you begin to realize that everything he has is actually yours. 12:23 In the first place, when you press into him and I want to just kind of sum it up, we'll probably talk more about this, but sum it up by saying, Hey, we, we need to press into Jesus because we love him, not just because of his stuff, because he's the one that we desire. He's the object of our worship. 12:47 We press into Jesus. What does it mean? It means to abide, to abide in him, to live in him. The Bible says in him we live and we move and we have our being. Can I, can I say this? 12:58 Can I conjecture that maybe some of the reason we face discouragement, doubt, fear, depression, anxiety is because we're not living in Jesus and I'm not meaning this towards salvation, but in some ways he's not living in us and in some ways he's not abiding inside of us because we're not abiding inside of him. So we pressed him out instead of us pressing into the kingdom and pressing into Jesus, 13:23 we've actually pressed him out and we've allowed anxiety and fear and doubt and depression and discouragement to take root and to live in places in our life where they shouldn't be. Just like whenever I look at my garden and I see weeds there, I can either let those weeds stay and abide or I can choose to remove or pull up those weeds and we've got to choose 13:50 to pull those things from our life and then press into the person of Jesus. Why? Jesus loves you. Come on remnant. Come on people of God. 14:01 Come on friend. Please understand today that God loves you so much. He has such an extreme strong desire to pour his goodness into your life, but it's not necessarily always automatic. You've got to press into the things of God. 14:22 Bible said the violent take it by force. He said everybody's pressing into it. So to press into the kingdom, to live in the kingdom's principles, to enjoy the freedom that comes from living in the kingdom of God, we actually have to press our hearts into the king and love the king of the kingdom and worship the king of the kingdom and let 14:49 the king of the kingdom come and take up a residence in our heart to such a degree that we are subdued and submissive to him, to everything he has to say, that he becomes the Lord, not only for our eternal life, but he be

Living in repentance is essential for our  spiritual  life. It means acknowledging our mistakes, seeking forgiveness, and striving to improve.

Being faithful to God is essential for nurturing a deep, meaningful spiritual relationship and maintaining a sense of purpose and direction in life. Faithfulness fosters trust and obedience, reflecting a commitment to live according to divine principles and teachings. It brings inner peace, moral guidance, and resilience in the face of adversity. This loyalty also inspires acts of love, kindness, and justice, positively impacting individuals and communities. Moreover, faithfulness to God strengthens one's spiritual integrity, ensuring consistency between beliefs and actions, and nurturing a closer, more intimate connection with the divine.

A deep connection with God is vital for our spiritual life as it nurtures our inner well-being and aligns us with a higher purpose. This connection serves as a foundation for personal growth and spiritual maturity, fostering a profound sense of peace and contentment. Engaging deeply with God through prayer and scripture allows us to tap into divine wisdom and guidance, which is crucial for making sound decisions and overcoming life's challenges. Moreover, this spiritual connection enhances our ability to love, forgive, and show compassion, reflecting divine attributes in our daily interactions. It also strengthens our resilience, providing strength during times of adversity.

To God, being faithful in the little is of profound importance. Scripture highlights this principle, teaching that trustworthiness in small matters reveals our true character and readiness for greater responsibilities (Luke 16:10). This faithfulness reflects a heart aligned with God's values, demonstrating integrity, humility, and obedience. By honoring God in seemingly minor tasks, we cultivate a spirit of stewardship, showing we can be entrusted with more significant blessings and roles. This growth in faithfulness not only deepens our relationship with God but also prepares us for His greater purposes, fulfilling His will in our lives and in the world.

Speaking God's word in faith over our lives is transformative, anchoring us in divine truth and purpose. God's word carries inherent power to bring life and change circumstances. When we speak His promises with conviction, we invite His blessings and favor into our lives. It reinforces our identity as beloved children of God, imbuing us with confidence and assurance. Speaking His word ignites faith, dismantling fear and doubt. It aligns our thoughts and actions with His will, guiding us towards fulfillment and spiritual growth. By embracing and declaring His word, we establish a firm foundation for a life abundant in blessings and divine guidance.

Obeying Jesus, even amidst confusion, is about trust and faith. It's acknowledging that His plans surpass our understanding. Like Peter fishing all night at Jesus' command (Luke 5:5), obedience often precedes clarity. It's a testament to our reliance on His wisdom and sovereignty, even when circumstances seem perplexing. Trusting Jesus involves surrendering our need for complete comprehension and embracing His guidance, knowing He works all things for our good (Romans 8:28). Obedience in uncertainty strengthens our faith, revealing His faithfulness and leading us deeper into relationship with Him. Ultimately, it's about entrusting our lives to His loving hands.

Our words hold immense power, shaping our realities and influencing those around us. Instead of dwelling on our problems, we can choose to use our words to uplift and praise God. By focusing on His greatness, we shift our perspective from our struggles to His sovereignty. This act of praise not only honors God but also strengthens our faith and brings us peace amidst challenges. Letting our words resonate with gratitude and adoration redirects our thoughts, leading to a mindset rooted in trust and hope. Through praise, we elevate our spirits and invite divine guidance into our lives.

Even in our lowest moments, Jesus offers restoration. His love knows no bounds, reaching into the depths of our failures with unwavering grace. Through every stumble, He extends His hand, offering forgiveness and renewal. It's in our brokenness that His strength shines brightest, lifting us up and guiding us forward. Let His mercy be our compass, leading us towards redemption and a life filled with purpose. Embrace His unending love, for in Him, we find restoration beyond measure.

Feeling lost or forgotten? Remember, God never leaves our side. His promises are steadfast, his love unwavering. Trust in his timing, for he has not forgotten you. Even when it feels like the world is against you, his plan for you remains unshaken. Hold onto faith, for his promises are true.

Following the Lord step-by-step is a journey of faith, obedience, and trust. It's about surrendering our will to His divine guidance and allowing Him to lead us in every aspect of our lives. Each step we take in alignment with His will brings us closer to Him and strengthens our relationship with Him.

For some, it's a whisper in the heart, a gentle tug towards humility and gratitude. For others, it's an overwhelming flood of emotion, bringing tears of joy or repentance. In every response, there's a recognition of one's own imperfections contrasted with the perfection of the divine. It can be a moment of surrender, letting go of worldly worries and concerns, and basking in the peace that surpasses understanding. In that moment, there's a sense of being seen, known, and loved unconditionally.

In the journey of faith, the concept of bringing heaven to earth in one's life is profound. It speaks to the transformational power of divine presence within individuals. God desires to infuse earthly existence with heavenly qualities: love, joy, peace, and righteousness. This transformation begins within the hearts and minds of believers, shaping their attitudes, actions, and relationships. Through prayer, individuals can cooperate with God in this divine endeavor. Prayer becomes a channel for aligning personal desires and intentions with the will of God, inviting divine intervention and guidance. It's a partnership where faith meets action, where individuals surrender their will to the higher purpose of God's plan. Through prayer, believers express their openness to God's transformative work, inviting His kingdom to manifest in their lives and communities. This partnership fosters spiritual growth, deepens intimacy with the divine, and ultimately contributes to the realization of God's kingdom on earth.

Proverbs 22:1 emphasizes the value of a good reputation, stating, "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." This underscores the importance of cultivating a virtuous reputation, which begins with the name one carries. Choosing a good name, therefore, is about embodying values, integrity, and a deep connection with divine purpose. It's about leaving a legacy that honors God and inspires others, reflecting the transformative power of faith and righteousness in one's life.

True prayer is born out of a deep faith that transcends fear. When we pray from a place of desperation rooted in faith, we acknowledge our dependence on God's wisdom, strength, and guidance. It's a surrendering of our own limitations and an acceptance of His divine will. Instead of being driven solely by fear of the unknown or desperation for relief, our prayers become a dialogue of trust and hope. Praying from faith means we believe in God's goodness and His perfect timing, even when circumstances seem dire. It's a recognition that God is in control, regardless of the outcome, and that He works all things for our ultimate good. This kind of prayer transforms desperation into a deep-seated confidence in God's love and provision. When we pray from a place of faith, we find peace amidst the storm, knowing that God hears our cries and is working behind the scenes for our best interest.

Ambassadors of the kingdom of God emulate the life Jesus lived through the power, authority, and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus, during His earthly ministry, demonstrated love, compassion, and miraculous power, all fueled by His intimate connection with the Father through the Holy Spirit. Similarly, as ambassadors, we tap into the same source of power and authority, enabling us to carry out His mission on earth. The Holy Spirit empowers us to love sacrificially, serve selflessly, and boldly proclaim the truth of the gospel. With His anointing, we are equipped to heal the sick, set captives free, and bring hope to the hopeless. Living life as Jesus did isn't merely about imitating His actions, but about allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us, transforming our hearts and empowering us to impact the world around us for the glory of God.

To be effective ambassadors for the kingdom of God, we must first encounter the power of God in our lives. This encounter is more than just a theological concept; it's a transformative experience that ignites within us a passion for His kingdom and His purposes. When we encounter God's power, we are filled with a sense of awe and reverence, understanding the magnitude of His presence and authority. This encounter empowers us to live lives that reflect His character, demonstrating love, compassion, and justice to those around us. It equips us to boldly proclaim His truth and share the good news of salvation with others. Without this encounter, our efforts as ambassadors may lack authenticity and impact. But with it, we become vessels of His power, shining beacons of hope and light in a world desperate for His love and redemption.

For believers in Jesus, embracing our purpose is paramount. We're called to be salt and light in the world, to illuminate darkness and preserve goodness. By rising into our purpose, we actively participate in God's plan for redemption and restoration. This involves not only personal growth but also engaging with culture, bringing the transformative power of Christ into every sphere of society.Taking our place in culture means being present and influential in our communities, workplaces, and relationships. It's about embodying Christ's love, truth, and compassion in a world often marred by sin and brokenness. By doing so, we become conduits of grace, helping to steer others away from spiritual death and the eternal separation from God that follows.Ultimately, embracing our purpose as believers isn't just about personal fulfillment—it's about fulfilling the Great Commission, spreading the gospel, and rescuing souls from the grip of darkness into the light of salvation offered by Jesus Christ.

As an ambassador for the Kingdom of God, one carries the weighty responsibility of representing divine principles and values on earth. This role transcends mere words; it demands a life lived in accordance with the teachings of love, compassion, and justice espoused by the Kingdom. Every action becomes a reflection of the grace and mercy extended by the divine ruler.  Being a representative of God's Kingdom means embodying humility, integrity, and a commitment to serving others selflessly. Moreover, as an ambassador, one becomes a bridge between heaven and earth, sharing the message of hope and redemption with sincerity and conviction. This entails not only proclaiming the Gospel but also living it out in daily interactions, shining the light of truth in a world often clouded by darkness.

Our faith in Jesus finds its truest expression through obedience that manifests in action. By following the teachings and example of Jesus, we not only affirm our belief but also demonstrate its validity to the world. Obedience becomes the tangible evidence of our faith, showcasing its transformative power in our lives and the lives of those around us.Through acts of love, compassion, and service inspired by Jesus' teachings, we embody the essence of our faith and bear witness to its truth. Whether it's comforting the afflicted, feeding the hungry, or standing up for justice, our actions reflect the depth of our commitment to Jesus and his message.As we align our lives with the principles of Jesus, we not only deepen our connection with him but also contribute to the realization of his kingdom on earth. In essence, our obedience becomes the living testimony of our faith in Jesus, proving its authenticity and relevance in a world hungry for hope and redemption.

If you are a person who is pressing out into the things of God and you're trying to seek the Lord with all of your heart, you just need to understand you are going to face obstacles and don't be discouraged by that. Don't be discouraged by those obstacles that you're facing. Oftentimes we say, well, I'm going to press in to pray and read my Bible and get involved in the house of God and burn with the fire of the Lord in my heart and as soon as we do, we're so surprised because we run into a seemingly a brick wall, so to speak, and we think, what have I done wrong? What have I done wrong? Well, the fact is probably nothing. In actuality, you're probably doing something exactly right. You're going after God, you're pursuing God, you're trying to throw your life on the altar of sacrifice to be a fire burned up in his presence. You're seeking him for his presence and what happens is the enemy doesn't like that at all.
