It's easy to get caught up in the resources our churches provide—a talented choirs, stunning buildings, and powerful messages. But a critical question remains: is the presence of the Holy Spirit actually there? No resource can cure the hopelessness we feel. Only the healing power of Jesus can.

Just 50 days after the Cross…at Pentecost…the early church numbering about 120, huddled in an upper room in Jerusalem, received the empowering Holy Spirit, for the purpose of proclaiming Christ to the lost world around them. But, the world hates the gospel and reacts to muffle the voice of the believer— and still does so today. However, there is something so much bigger, so much more powerful, happening in the grand story! The early Jerusalem believers understood it and drew strength from it. And, they often found it in a moment of gathered prayer…the Prayer Meeting! The Sovereign Authority of God…His Word…His Plan…His Power…available to the early church, remains for us today: for the empowering of our ministries, mission, and witness…and can be found in our own Prayer Meetings!

Sometimes when we face unexpected losses or uncertainty in our lives, we tend to lose assurance of God's provision. Yet by trusting the Lord, staying intimate with Him, and maintaining momentum to seek Him while enduring the trial, His powerful influence over our lives becomes greater than our circumstances. Let's humbly ask the Lord to intercede, believing that He will.

It can be hard to change when we have old habits, traditions, and desires in the way? It is like a building; reconstruction is difficult with existing clutter, rather than starting from a clean foundation. God cleanses us of the rubble so He can build within us.

Way too often we allow tough circumstances to steal our peace. But the first step toward hope is being honest with God about what we're going through. Our circumstances may not change, but when we turn our eyes to God, hope enters.

Each one of us has failed God—we have shortcomings that make it hard for us to even imagine being used by Him. The good news is that God can use anyone! Whether we have physical hindrances or spiritual scars, God will work mightily through us if we're willing. Above all circumstances, God is in control. Are we trusting Him today?

When we go to the doctor, the first things they check are our vitals—heart rate, blood pressure, temperature. What we don't often think about are our spiritual vital signs. Just like our physical health, if our spiritual vitals start declining, we're in trouble! We must ask God to search our hearts and reveal to us what needs to change so that we can grow in relationship with Him.

Isn't it funny how children will remember anything we promise them? We might forget, but they certainly won't! God Almighty has never forgotten us or His promises to us. Still, He loves it when we remind Him of them! When we release control of whatever we're facing and remind the Lord of His promises, it forces us to remember that we don't have to fight alone—God has already won!

It's Monday, April 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Russia strikes Ukrainian Baptist church killing pastor at prayer meeting Russia struck a Baptist church in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia during a prayer meeting, killing at least one person, a minister, and injuring at least eight others, reports The Christian Post. The Embassy of Ukraine in the U.S. gave the casualty figures in a public statement issued while rescue workers were still on the scene, identifying the targeted building as The House of the Gospel Church, which had served the community for years, according to the Baptist Press. The embassy called the strike a deliberate attack on people of faith who had gathered peacefully to pray. Promoters of a documentary series entitled “A Faith Under Siege” on Russia's persecution of Christians, identified the man killed as Ruslan Utyuzh, a minister at the bombed church. Utyuzh is survived by his wife and two children. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” Despite the attack, the congregation held services as normal the following morning with a large turnout, and 200 people came forward to be baptized. Iran reverses course on reopening Strait of Hormuz President Donald Trump said Iran "can't blackmail us" after the country announced they were reimposing restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning, reports Fox News. He added, "We have very good conversations going on. It's working out very well. They got a little cute, as they have been doing for 47 years, and nobody ever took them on. We took them on. They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. They have no leaders. They have no nothing. …  It is regime change." Despite Iran wanting to close the strait again, Trump said in the Oval Office that negotiations are "going actually along very well." Trump also cited how oil tankers are now coming to U.S. ports to fuel up, including in Texas and Louisiana. President Trump said, "We're taking a tough stand. They've killed a lot of people. A lot of our people have been killed. A lot of your fellow soldiers have been killed over the years by Iran.” He cited how he ordered the strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, in January 2020. Trump described Soleimani as the "father of the roadside bomb." He explained, "When you see soldiers with no legs, with no arms or face that's been smashed, that was Soleimani, it was Iran that did that. So we have a much different view on it than other presidents. They've gotten away with murder for 47 years. They're not getting away with it anymore." While Iran wants to keep enriched uranium, Trump won't allow that Iran had sought an agreement allowing them to “down-blend” their enriched uranium. According to Axios, “A top priority for the Trump administration is ensuring Iran can't access the stockpile of nearly 4,400 pounds of enriched uranium buried in its underground nuclear facilities, in particular the 992 pounds enriched to 60% purity.” The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation noted that most commercial nuclear power plants use 3 to 5 percent enriched uranium compared to 90 percent enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. Before the outbreak of the war, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that in March, Iranian negotiators boasted to him that they had enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear weapons. He explained that the Iranian negotiators apparently said “they had the inalienable right to enrich all their nuclear fuel that they possessed. We, of course, responded that the president feels we have the inalienable right to stop you dead in your tracks.” The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz initiated last Monday was costing Iran up to $435 million a day, including $276 million in lost exports. The blockade, coupled with weeks of air strikes from the U.S. and Israel, which devastated Iran's steel and petrochemical facilities, has the country's economy on the brink of collapse. Homosexual “dads” mock their surrogate-born baby for crying “mama” A homosexual male couple has triggered outrage across the internet after posting a video of themselves mocking their surrogate-born baby for crying “mama,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. Country music singer and songwriter Shane McAnally, a homosexual, posted the video of his faux “husband” Michael Baum lying on a couch, playfully bouncing the baby on his stomach as he asks, “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” BAUM: “Who do you want Dada or Pop?” BABY: “Mama, ma.” BAUM: “Do you want Dada or Pop?” BABY: (fusses) BAUM: “Who do you want? Dada or Pop?” BABY: “Mom.” BAUM: ”Nope. Do you want dada? You want pop? BABY: “Mom.” BAUM: “No way, Jose. There is no mama.” BABY: (starts crying) BAUM: “So sorry. You have Dada and Pop.” McANALLY: “Two choices.” BABY: (cries more) BAUM: “No Mama.” Oddly enough, they posted that video on line. Officials with Surrogacy Concern, an organization that seeks to end the evils of surrogacy, wondered, “Who films their child crying and uploads it to the internet? And who subjects a child to their pathetic vanity like this? Babies need their birth mothers.” And children's rights activist Chris Elston, better known as “Billboard Chris,” wrote, “These men laugh as the baby cries and says ‘ma ma ma.' They think it's funny because ‘there is no mama,' This baby was designed to never have a mother so that two men could satisfy their selfish desires. It's impossible for a normal person to watch this without instinctual disgust.” In Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus asked, ““Haven't you read, that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,' and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?” Anniversary of death of Martin Luther's aid who translated Bible And finally, on April 20, 1558, Johannes Bugenhagen, the prominent Lutheran reformer and pastor who helped Martin Luther translate the Bible, died. He said, ““The church is not a place but a people, gathered by the Word of God and sustained by faith.” Bugenhagen also explained that “True worship is not found in outward ceremonies, but in a heart that trusts in God's grace.” The Lutheran reformer introduced the Protestant Reformation in the Duchy of Pomerania and Denmark in the 16th century.  After the death of Luther in 1546, Bugenhagen kindly took care of Luther's widow, Katharina von Bora, and Luther's children. Proverbs 21:21 says, “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

The following sermon was chosen as a 'staff-pick' on SermonAudio: Title: 16: Stilling the Soul's Storms Subtitle: 24-Hour Prayer 2026 Speaker: Dr. Sacha Walicord Broadcaster: SermonAudio Classics Event: Prayer Meeting Date: 2/18/2026 Bible: Philippians 4:4-9 Length: 12 min.

Christians face temptation. Jealousy, fear, lust, pride, and all kinds of sins tempt us every day. But even when we want to overcome, we are weak. How do we get victory? Not by just going to church, then we likely will fail. We need to read our Bibles. We need to pray. The only way to beat temptation is to spend time with Jesus—seeking Him, praying often. Let's ask God to help us do that today.

Our circumstances can often make us anxious, depressed, moody, or ungrateful. But here's a secret: we can be content instead. How? By realizing that we can't change the storms of our daily lives. But God can lift us up to where we won't be affected by them anymore. We must ask the Holy Spirit to fill us with contentment so that we can rise above our circumstances and glorify the Lord.

People around us are watching—how we react in seasons of plenty and in seasons of want. Do we obey God in every circumstance? He is glorified when we obey His Word. We are told to rejoice in the Lord always, to pray without ceasing, and to love one another. When we are obedient to God, He gives us everything we need. Let's obey our Father and rejoice in the gifts of each new day.

When we feel anxious, depressed, and scared, those feelings aren't from God. No, the Holy Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-discipline. That's why the Bible tells us to be continually filled with the Spirit. Imagine how much stronger our daily prayer and Bible study times would be if we were led by the discipline of the Holy Spirit! Let's be Spirit-filled and Spirit-led today.

Before opening up all-church prayer Pastor JD takes time to share what God ministered to him during the 5-months he was out of the pulpit caring for his wife before her home coming, specific to, how often times we're surprised when God answers prayer.

If you're on the brink of making a big decision, don't miss this warning—listen for God's guidance and talk it through with trustworthy advisors! The Bible is full of examples of godly people taking bad advice and making poor decisions. We must humble ourselves and seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Without it, we'll self-destruct!

What if the most important thing our church does is the thing no one sees?In this episode of Upon Further Review, our associate Pastor, Cody Kitchen, and Pastor, Dr. John Hall, take us back to the foundation: prayer. Not as a sentimental add-on. Not as a programmatic checkbox. But as the engine that drives everything. Prayer is often compared to “eating your vegetables”: necessary, good for you, but not always exciting. And yet, Scripture makes clear that not much of eternal value happens apart from it.This conversation confronts a hard reality: the enemy would prefer believers do almost anything other than pray. When trials come, when schedules fill up, when ministry demands increase, prayer is often the first thing to be quietly reduced. But God has chosen to work through the prayers of His people. A church without prayer is not neutral. It is functionally dependent on itself.The episode also gives clarity on the intentional structure of Field Street Baptist Church's Wednesday corporate prayer gathering and why it reflects the biblical pattern we see in Acts 2:42. This is not an afterthought. It is central.[0:56] – Why do we even have a prayer meeting? How did it begin?[2:25] – What is a prayer meeting actually meant to be?[6:31] – If we can pray at home, why gather for 45 minutes together?[10:25] – What's the difference between corporate prayer and private prayer?[12:06] – If prayer disappeared tomorrow, what would we lose?[16:16] – How do prayer meetings shape the culture of a church?[20:12] – What if I don't feel comfortable praying out loud?[21:00] – What if I'm just too busy to come?[22:49] – What should someone expect on a Wednesday night?

We didn't ask Jesus to go to the cross for us—He always acts first. The Lord meets us wherever we are, and He has divine compassion on us. He knows when we're spiritually lukewarm or cold, and He knows everything that tries and tempts us. Yet our wonderful God is always waiting for us to simply turn back to Him. His mercy covers us every day! Let's run toward His compassion today.

When was the last time you saw God's grace around you? A great plague in churches today is Christians not purposefully looking for that grace. Life gets hard, and we only look at our circumstances—and miss out on the blessings surrounding us! God is not hiding the truth or His goodness from us. We just have to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth of God's Word to us, and He will bring renew our spirits!

How can we expect God to change our lives if we don't tell Him what we need? The act of pouring out our hearts—laying every thought, feeling, fear, and expectation at Jesus' feet—is what deepens our relationship with Him. We can tell the Creator of the universe how we feel at any given moment, and He cares! Let's take advantage of that wonderful privilege today!
