Hosts Shelly and June Volk wrap up their extensive study on Psalm 22 by outlining core spiritual disciplines modeled through Messiah’s trial on the cross. Examining both Old and New Testament passages, the Volks emphasize how affliction acts as a refiner for spiritual growth, the critical necessity of fervent, ongoing prayer, and the call for believers to embrace endurance and take up their cross daily. Key Takeaways: Purpose in Affliction: Affliction serves a divine purpose—testing faith, producing righteousness, and enabling believers to understand and hold fast to God's Word. Fervent, Energy-Driven Prayer: Rooted in James 5:16, effective prayer requires passion, persistence, and a daily lifestyle integrated with communion with God. Perseverance to Overcome: Messiah’s endurance on the cross grants believers the spiritual power to endure present-day trials and emerge victorious. Embracing the Cross: Following Messiah requires a willingness to yield self-will, embrace life's trials, and stand firm in faith despite world pressures. The Shema Declaration: The program concludes with the traditional declaration of the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4), standing in unity with Israel and pointing toward the ultimate return of the Messiah. Scripture & Bible Passages Referenced: Psalm 22:1–31 – Prophetic psalm highlighting Messiah's suffering, persistence, answered prayers, and ultimate triumph. Luke 24:44 – Messiah's confirmation that all prophecies written in the Law, Prophets, and Psalms must be fulfilled. Ephesians 1:16–18 – Prayer for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge (epignosis) of God. Psalm 119:50–75 – Declarations on how affliction revives the soul and deepens understanding of God's statutes. Hebrews 12:11 – Divine chastening and discipline yield the peaceful fruit of righteousness. James 5:16 – "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." Deuteronomy 6:4 – The Shema: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one!"

Mark Clifford: Mark Clifford discusses the ongoing detention of British citizen and entrepreneur Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong. While China recently released a Protestant pastor, Xi Jinping reportedly remains determined that Lai, a fervent Catholic and advocate for Western values, will die in prison. Clifford suggests Xi's animosity is personal, rooted in a belief that the survival of the Communist Party is paramount and that any dissent is an existential threat. Despite the UK's new leadership focusing on domestic issues, Clifford hopes the government continues to pressure Beijing for the release of its citizen. (4)

Romans 12:9-21

Picture this. You work at a train station and are responsible for controlling traffic. There is a problem. One of the trains has lost control and is headed towards a village where it will kill 1,000 people. If nothing is done, it will kill men, women, and children. If you change the tracks, there is a baby on the other track. What would you do?

En Ukraine, le général Oleksandr Syrskyi, chef d'état-major des armées, sera remplacé par Mykhaïlo Drapatyi qui occupait auparavant un poste de militaire de haut rang. Cette décision intervient après six jours de manifestations à Kiev et dans tout le pays. Les rassemblements ont débuté après que le président ukrainien a limogé son ministre de la Défense, « le populaire et réformateur, Mykhaïlo Fedorov », rappelle le Kyiv Independent. Les manifestations se sont petit à petit « transformées en un appel à remplacer Oleksandr Syrskyi », à la tête des armées ukrainiennes. L'ancien ministre de la Défense a salué cette décision : « une bouffée d'air frais et un nouvel espoir » pour la défense du pays, indique le Kyiv Post. Selon le journal, il s'agit là de « l'un des changements les plus importants à la tête des forces armées depuis le début de l'invasion à grande échelle de la Russie ». Deux approches du conflit Un changement qui illustre deux approches du conflit « Pour les partisans de l'ancien ministre de la Défense, cette nomination indique que Volodymyr Zelensky a entendu les appels à une approche plus rapide et davantage axée sur la technologie dans cette guerre », analyse le Kyiv Post. Pour Le Figaro, à Paris, « la crise oppose deux visions de la guerre : les partisans d'une modernisation profonde face aux défenseurs d'une approche plus traditionnelle. Les premiers jugent possible de gagner la guerre en fragilisant le régime russe à coups de frappes en profondeur. Les seconds cherchent à contenir la progression de l'armée russe et ne jugent pas possible de lui infliger une défaite. » Mykhaïlo Fedorov, l'ancien ministre de la Défense, avait « fait des drones l'arme la plus efficace contre l'envahisseur », rappelle El Pais. Fervent partisan de la modernisation de l'armée ukrainienne, le président ukrainien lui a proposé hier un « poste important au sein du gouvernement », rapporte le Guardian. Volodymyr Zelensky n'a pas donné de détail sur la fonction qu'il pourrait occuper mais a affirmé que l'objectif de l'Ukraine restait « de créer sur le champ de bataille les conditions qui obligeraient la Russie à faire la paix. » Érigé en symbole En Italie, un bijoutier érigé en symbole par l'extrême droite. Mario Roggero, 72 ans, a vu la semaine dernière la Cour de cassation confirmer sa peine de 14 ans et 9 mois d'emprisonnement pour homicide volontaire. En 2021, il avait abattu deux voleurs et blessé un troisième homme alors qu'il prenait la fuite après avoir braqué sa bijouterie. « Depuis des années, l'homme est présenté comme le symbole d'une justice trop sévère envers ceux qui se défendent envers les criminels, écrit l'Opinion. Pour le média français, l'affaire est devenue « l'objet d'une véritable compétition au sein de la majorité. Matteo Salvini lui a rendu visite en prison, [son parti] la Ligue envisage de le présenter aux prochaines élections, une hypothèse pourtant impossible puisque le bijoutier a été condamné à l'inéligibilité perpétuelle […]. [La première ministre italienne] Giorgia Meloni, soucieuse de ne pas abandonner ce terrain à ses alliés devenus concurrents, a également lancé une collecte de signatures parlementaires en faveur du condamné. » À Rome, l'Association nationale des magistrats dénonce « les menaces, les insultes et les discours de haine » à l'encontre de la justice, rapporte le Corriere della Serra et appelle « ceux qui occupent des fonctions institutionnelles à faire preuve de plus de responsabilité et de prudence dans le choix des mots ». Dans les colonnes de La Repubblica, l'ancien procureur général de Milan fustige une affaire instrumentalisée « à des fins de propagande » et « les principes fondamentaux » du droit sacrifiés. Recrudescence de rougeole Aux États-Unis, le nombre de cas de rougeole atteint un niveau record depuis 35 ans. Cette année, le pays a enregistré le plus grand nombre de cas de rougeole depuis 1991 alors que l'année est encore loin d'être finie. 2 295 cas recensés selon l'université Johns-Hopkins. « Signe que le virus réapparait dans les régions où la couverture vaccinale est faible, précise le site américain Axios. Ce qui menace le statut d'élimination de la rougeole aux États-Unis qui doit être réexaminé en novembre. » Toutes les classes d'âges sont touchées par la maladie, ce qui indique que « certains groupes de personnes ne sont pas vaccinés depuis des générations », indique le Washington Post. En cause, « la méfiance croissante envers les vaccins ».

Session 12 of Warfare Prayer discusses the difference between prayer and FERVENT prayer as well as how to pray for someone and get to the ROOT of their spiritual warfare problems. A spiritual warfare CHARGE patterned after the presidential speech prior to D-Day in WW2 is given as a final punctuation point to this series of lessons. It was a MOVING speech, and we have transferred the ideas stated there into a spiritual warfare setting for the Christian battle as a means of encouragement and motivation to do all we can for the Kingdom of God!

Cette semaine, dans ce numéro d'Idées, Pierre-Édouard Deldique reçoit le journaliste Pierre Haski. Avec lui, cinquante ans de reportages au long cours nous contemplent. Il est aujourd'hui un des plus fins analystes du monde qui vient. Dans son livre qui s'intitule La fin d'un monde (Stock),  il revient sur son parcours, les lieux, les visages, les événements qui ont façonné sa compréhension du monde. Il analyse les soubresauts du monde hérité de l'après-guerre. « Je suis né en un lieu et à une époque qui ont sans doute décidé du reste de ma vie : Tunis, en 1953… » écrit-il. Sa vie est un roman. On le constate en l'écoutant, Pierre Haski écrit depuis une position enviable : celle d'un journaliste qui a traversé la fin de l'apartheid, la transition post‑maoïste en Chine, les guerres du Moyen‑Orient, l'effondrement des régimes communistes, la mondialisation triomphante puis sa remise en question aujourd'hui. Ses souvenirs ne sont pas des anecdotes : ils constituent des points d'observation privilégiés pour saisir les lignes de force du présent et du passé. Ainsi, raconte-t-il, par exemple, son arrivée à Zanzibar dans les années 1970, jeune reporter découvrant un pays marqué par les séquelles du colonialisme et les tensions de la guerre froide. Son expérience sud‑africaine est l'un des fils rouges du livre. Il y observe la chute de l'apartheid, la transition démocratique, puis les désillusions. Ces souvenirs nourrissent une réflexion plus large. Les transitions sont longues, fragiles, souvent décevantes. D'ailleurs le continent africain est fort présent dans son livre et dans ses propos tenus au micro où il nous parle par exemple de Thomas Sankara, l'ancien président du Burkina-Faso. Correspondant à Pékin dans les années 2000, Haski voit la Chine passer du statut « d'usine du monde » à celui de puissance technologique et stratégique. Il raconte les illusions occidentales, les erreurs d'analyse, la fascination mêlée d'aveuglement. Ses souvenirs personnels — conversations, scènes de rue, rencontres avec des dissidents — donnent chair à une idée force. La Chine donne le ton dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. « Pour guetter l'avenir, regarder vers la Chine ». De la Roumanie à la Russie, Haski décrit les espoirs de 1989, puis les dérives autoritaires, les nationalismes, les frustrations économiques. Ses souvenirs montrent comment les promesses non tenues ont nourri les populismes actuels. Fervent européen, il précise que l'Europe n'est pas réductible à l'UE : « On ne tombe pas amoureux d'une structure politique », lance-t-il. Son constat est d'une implacable lucidité : l'ordre international né en 1945 — multilatéralisme, droit international, leadership occidental — est remis en question. Au fil de ce numéro du magazine Idées et des pages du livre, Pierre Haski se livre aussi à une méditation sur le journalisme : la transformation des médias par le numérique, la difficulté croissante de « voir » le monde derrière les propagandes, les réseaux sociaux, les récits nationaux. Il cite Hannah Arendt qui soulignait qu'avec les mensonges, un peuple ne croit plus en rien, ne peut se faire une opinion, et se trouve placé sous la menace de quiconque veut le manipuler. Malgré le titre, le journaliste - qui tient à préciser que son livre ne s'intitule pas La fin du monde mais La fin d'un monde - ne cède ni au catastrophisme ni à la nostalgie, il croit encore à la possibilité d'un monde commun — à condition de repenser nos institutions, nos alliances et notre façon de voir les peuples.

Gem Of the Day (G.O.D.) about James 5:16

God strengthens His church through faithful servants who are eager to learn and bold to proclaim the gospel. This passage reminds us that God builds His church as believers encourage, instruct, and equip one another to proclaim Christ more faithfully.Time:MorningMinister:Rev. Daniel VenturaTexts:Acts 18:18–28Series:Acts: The Church on Fire

The sermon centers on the urgent call to live in light of the imminent return of Christ, emphasizing that while the timing of His coming remains unknown—reserved as a secret thing belonging to God—believers must respond with sober-mindedness, constant prayer, and a life shaped by divine perspective. At the heart of this ethical urgency is Peter's command to cultivate fervent, selfless love among believers, which he elevates above all other virtues, not only because it reflects God's eternal nature but because it is the only virtue that will endure beyond the present age, when faith and hope will be fulfilled. This love, described as 'fervent' and 'stretching out' in the Greek, is not sentimental but intentional, mutual, and rooted in the Spirit's work, enabling believers to forgive, restore, and preserve one another's dignity rather than expose or condemn. The sermon draws from Scripture to show that such love mirrors God's own mercy—covering sins not by ignoring them, but by bearing them with grace, reflecting the truth that God has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west. Ultimately, this love is both a reflection of our salvation and a testimony to the world, fulfilling Christ's command that His disciples be known by their love, and it is empowered not by human effort but by the indwelling Spirit who enables believers to live in accordance with God's eternal will.

His Grace Bishop Gregory reflects on the commandment to love God with all heart, soul, mind, and strength as the foundation for inheriting eternal life. He explores how true love for God demands fervent labor and zeal in serving Him, emphasizing that this inner fervency transforms even small acts into offerings pleasing to God. Bishop Gregory explains that this zeal sustains believers through the challenges of following God's commandments, making what seems burdensome into a source of spiritual joy. He also highlights how a fervent spirit protects against temptation, likening it to a fire that wards off intrusion. By meditating on Scripture and seeking God's help to “enlarge the heart,” believers can develop this fervent spirit, enabling their spiritual efforts to be accepted by God and leading to joy and perseverance in the Christian life.

What if the reason God feels silent… isn't because you're not praying hard enough, but because He's inviting you to stop striving? In this episode, I unpack what fervent prayer actually means — and why it has far less to do with intensity, volume, or emotional force than we've been taught. True fervency isn't spiritual hustle. It's submission. I talk about how real fervent prayer aligns us with God's will rather than trying to bend His hand, and how that alignment often brings peace long before it brings answers. This kind of prayer doesn't always change the situation right away, but it does change our posture, our discernment, and our trust. I also share a grounded, Scripture-rooted framework for practicing fervent prayer in everyday life — especially in seasons when God feels quiet, direction feels unclear, or you're tempted to push harder instead of listen deeper. If you're a Christian author, writer, or message-carrier who feels worn down from trying to "make things happen" in your calling, your book sales, or your income, this episode is an invitation to pause, realign, and return to the heart posture God responds to. Because God is not moved by our hustle. He responds to a surrendered heart.

The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people, meanwhile, were seeking to put him to death, but they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words. Luke 19:47–48Jesus had just entered Jerusalem for the upcoming Feast of Passover. He arrived in that holy city and then returned again the next day and entered the Temple area. As He witnessed the corruption of those selling animals for the Temple sacrifices, Jesus responded with fervent preaching in an attempt to cleanse the Temple from this corruption. He quoted the Prophet Isaiah and cried out, “It is written, My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” Luke's Gospel points out the reaction of the chief priests, the scribes and the leaders of the people. They were “seeking to put him to death.” However, as the Gospel further relates, “they could find no way to accomplish their purpose because all the people were hanging on his words.”It's important to consider this passage within its context. The words that Jesus spoke were words that sought to cleanse the Temple of corruption. With the approval of the temple priests, who benefitted from the temple tax, there were many people who were using the practice of divine worship to make a profit for selfish gain, turning the Temple into a marketplace. Jesus could see this clearly, and many of the people would have also sensed the corruption of these practices. Though they needed to purchase animals for the ritual sacrifices and Passover meal, many of them were most likely disturbed by this abuse. Therefore, as Jesus spoke with fervor and condemnation, it angered those who were responsible for the corruption but left the people with consolation. Hence, they were “hanging on his words.”The Gospel is always consoling, and, for those who are open, it leads them to hang on every word that is spoken. It refreshes and invigorates, clarifies and motivates. Usually when we think of the Gospel, we think of words that are gentle and inviting—words of mercy to the sinner and compassion for those who are struggling. But sometimes the pure Gospel message from our Lord fiercely attacks sin and evil. And though this may be shocking to the evil doers, to those with pure faith, these words also refresh and strengthen.Today, we need the full Gospel message. Many need to hear Jesus' gentle invitation to conversion by which their heavy burdens are lifted. But many others need to hear His firm words of condemnation. And the Church as a whole needs both of these messages to be proclaimed if we are to fully participate in the apostolic ministry of our Lord. Only our Lord has the right to condemn, chastise, and call others to repentance. But we are all called to share in this mission of our Lord. And though we do not have the right to judge the hearts of others, when we see objective evil and disorder within our world and even within our Church, we must cry out with our Lord, “My house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” And when we do hear the holy and inspired words of God's messengers who boldly and courageously proclaim the truth and call others to repentance, it should inspire, invigorate and console us as we find ourselves hanging on their every word.Reflect, today, upon the Gospel messages that need to be preached in our day and age that are both inspired by God and are also fervently directed at corruption within the world and even within our Church. Allow yourself to support such holy preaching and to be inspired by it. Hang on these holy words of God's prophets today. As you do, God will protect them and inspire them to continue His holy mission of purification.My purifying Lord, the corruption within our world, and at times even within our Church, requires Your holy preaching and purifying action. Please send Your messengers to those in need so that all may be cleansed as You cleansed the Temple. May I share in this mission in the ways in which You call me, and may I always hang on every word spoken from Your merciful and fervent heart of love. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: James Tissot, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

CONTINUED Professor John Cochrane: Professor John Cochrane of Hoover Institution addresses the fervent debate over the Federal Reserve's independence, with critics from both political extremes advocating for more accountability. He points to the Fed's expanded activities since 2008, including "subsidizing Wall Street," and alleged missteps that contributed to inflation and a problematic housing market. Cochrane argues for a more limited Fed, focused strictly on inflation, to preserve its independence and public trust, suggesting that its broadened scope jeopardizes its core mission and credibility. 1897 BANK OF ENGLAND PARLOR

As we witness a growing hunger for spiritual truth in our culture, we have to ask—are we on the edge of another Jesus Revolution? Pastor Greg Laurie shares why he believes we just might be. Notes: Focus verse - Nehemiah 9 Could this be the start of another spiritual awakening? The objective of proclamation evangelism is to clearly preach the gospel and invite people to Christ. Isaiah 43:19 (KJV) Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? Acts 2:17 (NLT) 'In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.’ Psalm 85:6 (NLT)Won't you revive us again, so your people can rejoice in you? Younger men are more likely to become Christians than younger women. Is this another national spiritual awakening? I hope and pray it is. Gen Z has the highest suicide rate of any generation. Teens regularly use AI companions instead of human interaction. The only hope for this generation is Jesus and, for that matter, any generation. #1 In the US we have had four great spiritual awakenings.The first one happened in America before we were a nation in 1740. George Whitfield’s preaching drew massive crowds. The first Great Awakening didn’t just change hearts, it helped shape the moral DNA of the United States. America is exceptional. America is unique.America has been established by God. George Washington was quick to give credit to God for his success on the battlefield. #2 The second Great Awakening occurred during 1790s to 1840s and was led by many, including Charles Finney. #3 The third Great Awakening in America was from about 1857–1859.This revival began when a 48-year-old businessman namedJeremiah Lanphier began a prayer meeting on Fulton Street in New York City. “Revival is the rekindling of a flame, and when the fire is lit,it doesn’t just warm the church—it lights up the world!” —David Jeremiah #4 The fourth Great Awakening was the Jesus Movement. #1 Revival is coming back to life. Revival is refreshment; it’s restoration; it’s returning to original condition. Psalm 80:19 (ESV) Restore us, O LORD God! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! A revival is when God’s people come back to life again. A spiritual awakening is what America needs. Revival is what the church needs. Revelation 2:4–5 (NKJV) "…you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works,” #2 Revival is waking from sleep. It’s turning from sin. God’s prescription for revival or restoration is in 2 Chronicles 7:14. Read Nehemiah 9:1–4 (NLT) #3 If we want to see revival, we must pray with passion. Matthew 15:22 (NLT)"Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is possessed by a demon…" We need to pray like early church prayed for Peter to be delivered from prison.Acts 12:5 Fervent means displaying passionate intensity. #4 If you want to see revival, you must confess your sins. We all have sins to confess each and every day. 1 John 1:8 (NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. A sin of commission is doing what you should not do.A sin of omission is not doing what you should do.James 4:17 #5 They separated themselves from ungodly influences. #6 They heard God’s word, and they acted on it. The Bible is our model for how we ought to think and to live. John 15:14 (KJV)You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. God told Joshua the secret to success.Joshua 1:7 (NLT) #7 Revival always leads to evangelism. The evidence of revival is a changed community. Acts 2:41 (NIV) Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. John 4:35 (NIV)“I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” New believers need older believers to stabilize them.Older believers need new believers to energize them. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org.
