From our neighbors next door to neighboring countries farther away, the need for solid solutions and sound leadership are evident.
Marriages are struggling, millions of people have been displaced from their homes, elected officials are polarized, and the rapidly shifting cultural sands are pulling at the moral fabric of our own nation.
One glance at the world around us makes it clear that we are in a time of crisis.
“Know this: in the last days perilous times will come.” (2 Timothy 3:1)
Many feel uncertain, even afraid. Yet, this is a perfect time for God’s people to rise up with clarity, courage, and confidence.
Despite the reality of the times we live in, we can be comforted by this unwavering truth: Jesus is God and He is on the throne. We are not without hope.
Our great God who knows the end from the beginning is ready and willing to lead His people in triumph, as we take the time to come into His presence and lift our prayers to Him.
When the chaos around us tries to breed chaos within, we can look to the God who provides every answer we need. And in His immense kindness, He often provides the answer before we even know we need it.
“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
He is always prepared, all knowing, and all powerful. His track record of faithfulness is unwavering. His ongoing list of victories, undeniable. The One who sits enthroned right now has seen wars come and go, leaders rise and fall, and He still remains the sovereign, supreme ruler over all things seen and unseen.
In His kindness our God has set us up for success so we can live in peace. Actually living in the reality of this truth so that it affects our perspective and emotions requires us to come to Him and receive truth.
In this hour, the Spirit is speaking clearly on important issues to empower the Body of Christ to partner with Him—as He intervenes in the Church and the culture.
Even during these times of radical change we can hear what the Spirit is saying.
In midst of what He is saying and doing in this hour, above all He wants us to love Jesus with all of our hearts and connect deeply with Him. Yes, even now He is calling to His Church to put the first commandment in first place in our lives as we address the critical issues of our times as vessels of His power and presence.
