The only way to face the storm in this nation is with the power of God. We are not going to be able to face it in our strength. It won't be by our might or power but only by the Spirit of God. We won't overcome the storm with our youth, experience, or abilities.

We will only be able to overcome this hardship through the presence of God in each one of our lives. The Holy Spirit will open our minds as we read the scriptures and make it a reality. The Holy Spirit will give us giftings and abilities that can only come from God. He will provide us with the power to speak in His name.

Not only does God give us power, but He gives us love, wisdom, and a sound reasoning mind. That's how we will be able to stand in this generation and bring glory to the name of God through Jesus Christ. Talk to Him about it today.

It's time to pray.

Psalm 68, beginning at verse 7, says,"O God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness, the earth shook. The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God. Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. You, O God, sent a plentiful rain whereby you confirmed your inheritance when it was weary."

God's presence in your life brings an incredible promise—though you may sometimes be dry, weary, and seemingly in a wilderness. Even there, and especially there, He promises to be with you, confirming your calling and being your everyday supply source.

If you are weary today, close your eyes. Tell Jesus you trust Him and let the rain come.

Remember, my brother and my sister, it's time to pray.

If ever there was someone's prayer that you think God would hear and answer, it would be the Apostle Paul because he could hear the voice of God. Paul surrendered to the work of God, even to the loss of his physical health, safety, and comfort.

Paul was a man that God could entrust to put a quill in his hand. He was so in tune with the heart of God that God could give him the words to write down in the New Testament. The letters he wrote have guided the lives of hundreds of millions of people over the last 2,000 years.

However, Paul was given a thorn in his flesh because God knew His grace had to be sufficient. After all, God’s strength would be made perfect through Paul's weakness. Whatever your thorn is today, know this: God's grace is also sufficient for you, and His strength is made perfect through your weakness.

We cannot trust our power, thoughts, or direction, but we must hope in the Word of God. We must build our lives on what the Bible says. We don't have to add to it, and we don't have to take away from it. What God says is what we need to believe.

The Bible must become our worldview, meaning we never have to compromise and meet the world's standards. We cannot go down in the storm. We must be determined to walk with the real Jesus and allow His value system to become ours. The good news is that Jesus promises us that we will stand when we do these things.

Join us as people from over 200 countries and dependencies gather to pray every Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org. We believe that God, through our lives, will make a difference in this generation.

The Apostle Peter once thought he would never betray or deny Jesus. All it took for him to cower in front of a little girl was to ask if he was one of the disciples. He responded that he didn't even know Jesus.

However, after Peter was touched by the power of God in the upper room, he became a man with a biblical worldview. He came out of that upper room not with his own opinions about God but God's opinion about the world. Then, Peter spoke one of the most powerful sermons in the New Testament, and 3,000 people bent their knees that day to God.

Peter no longer feared man because he had received the power of God. We must accept God's power and stand firm on His Word. We cannot cower before this generation. We must rise and give God glory. This is available to every believer; just ask Him yourself.

Psalm 12, a Psalm of David, beginning at verse one, says,"Help, Lord, for the Godly man ceases, for the faithful disappear from among the sons of men. They speak idly everyone with his neighbor, with flattering lips and a double heart, they speak."

We're not the only ones who have endured seasons where evil speech seems to have become the norm. David, a Godly man, was so disturbed that he had to cry out to God for help. We know today that his life and voice were used to bring many people back to a godly focus and the right way of speaking.

Cry out for help today; your words will guide many in our generation back to civility and truth.

Joshua 24, beginning at verse 15, says,“And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve. Whether the gods, which your father served, that were on the other side of the river or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. So, the people answered and said, ‘Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods.’”

As the people of God once did, we have a choice that we have to make with the godless, clearly defining their intent to transform our society into something that is the polar opposite of our values.

Will we stay in silent servitude, or will we break entirely from the ranks and stand firm on the side of biblical truth? They made a choice. So must we.

In Psalm 119, verses 67, 71, and 75, the Psalmist says,"Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep your word. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes. I know, oh Lord, that your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me."

I can speak for my heart. If everything had gone smoothly, I might not be a believer today. However, God's mercy allowed what needed to come into my life to bring me to Him and to keep me in Him. The same goes for you.

Something will come into our lives where we know we cannot make it without the grace of God. Our reflection makes us aware of our need for grace. Remember that God's carrying power will keep you amid your storm, no matter what you go through or are going through today. Talk to Him about it.

The days keep getting darker and darker. A flood of filth, confusion, and violence is sweeping our nation. There is incivility coming against the people of God, and unfortunately, things will not get better; they will only get worse. It's not going to get easier; it will get harder. The floods are going to rise, and they're going to beat against your life, home, family, and the house of God.

However, if you build your life and value system on the Word of God, and it’s the pillar under your house, Jesus promised you would stand. That's His promise to you. You will not fail.

In Psalm 18:4–6, King David said,"The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me. The snares of death confronted me. In my distress, I called upon the Lord and cried out to my God. He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him even to His ears."

We live in a day when ungodliness is coming in like a flood. The sexual confusion that is going on is unbelievable. The floods are coming against the churches of Jesus Christ.

It's time that we cry out to the Lord and make God's Word our value system so that we can stand in these last days and bring glory to God. Victory is available with Christ. Talk to Him about it today.

Psalm 1 says,"Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law, he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bring forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff, which the wind drives away."

There is such scorning in our society that many people can no longer stand, acknowledge, or appreciate when good has been done.

May that never be so with those of us who know God.

Proverbs 31:26 talks about the wisdom that can be found in the heart of a virtuous woman. The scripture says,"She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness."

Through the kindness of mothers, children begin to know how good God is. Through her speech's wisdom, they understand what their lives can be and how God loves them so much. I want to thank God today for mothers this Mother's Day. I want to thank God for all the virtues mothers put into their families and children.

It's a ministry that is greatly esteemed in the sight of God and, by God's grace, greatly respected in the view of all the rest of us. Mothers, congratulations on all you do. It is true; the hand that rocks the cradle does shape the nation. God be with you. God bless you. We'll pray for you.

Proverbs 11, beginning at verse 20, says,"Those who are of a perverse heart are an abomination to the Lord, but the blameless in their ways are His delight. Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished, but the posterity of the righteous will be delivered in my lifetime."

I have never seen the godless as united in mockery and rebellion against God's order as they are today. They parade their evil, broadcast their scorning, and gather the like-minded in opposing good and God.

They have no idea that according to scripture, Hell has opened its mouth wide, and they are marching straight into it and there forever. Pray for them. They don't know what they do.

God is drawing near to us in these dark days. He's drawing us into what truly matters. He's drawing us again to the only lasting truth. He's drawing us to the very center of His heart.

God isn't only giving redemption but also a reason to live. We must draw near to Him as He draws near to us and hear what He is speaking in this hour. We should always advance our lives and hearts to what God has destined for us. We can do this, but remember, not without the help of God's Holy Spirit.

Join us as people worldwide gather every Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org. We get together, pray, and believe in God to draw us near. He will make a difference in each one of our lives. God, please do in us what only You can do.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, the apostle Paul says: "And lest I should be exalted above measure. By the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me, and he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, most gladly, I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities and reproaches in needs and persecutions in distress, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

Some people feel they shouldn't face difficulty because they believe in Christ, but that is not necessarily true.

The truth is that no matter what we face, God's grace will keep us.

Isaiah 43, beginning at verse one, says,"But now thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and he who formed you, O Israel. Fear not for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and through the rivers they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you."

I have a word today for someone going through the deepest trial of their life. You wonder where you're going to find the strength to go on. I want you to know that if you call God for help, He will help you.

Jesus loves you. He loves you so much that He died for you so that you could find the life, protection, and joy of new strength that He has for you. Don't try to survive this trial alone; call out to Him now.

Psalm 102, in verse seven, says,"I lie awake and am like a sparrow alone on the housetop."

One of the deepest needs of all people is to know that we are loved. Even God Himself in Genesis 2:18 said,"It is not good that men should be alone, so God gave the first person someone to love and to share life with."

Today, I want you to know you don't have to be alone. God designed us to find and give love, fellowship, and friendship in a body He created called His church. Don't let isolation rob you of this blessing for even one more day. Ask God for the courage to love and to be loved among God's people.

Remember, my brother and my sister, it's time to pray.

The power of Christ only comes from a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. You don't get it any other way.

Don't set terms and conditions on God because He's not our servant. We are His servants—whatever He sees fit to allow in our lives for His divine purpose. Paul pinned the words that all these things work together for good to those who love God and those who are called according to His purpose. Not some things, or just the good things, but all things. That's what the Word of God says.

This truth can set you free even amid your situation. Wherever you are now, God is working all that up for His intended purpose in your life. He's producing a prayer life that you would never have otherwise. Talk to Him about it today, and thank Him for what He's doing in your life.

It's time now to pray.

When we open the Word of God, we unlock the truth that sets us free even amid affliction. The Apostle Paul was freed long before the prison doors were opened. He was a free man. The discomfort did not take away his freedom or his trust in God. But the grace God supplied him was a source of supply that no matter where he found himself, his joy was not dependent anymore on his circumstance.

There was something inside Paul’s life that surpassed all understanding. Pray that God gives you this understanding, that He may unlock the truth to your heart that will set you free.

Join us as we gather with people worldwide every Wednesday at 7:00 PM EST at itstimetopray.org. We are believing for this freedom in our generation. We're praying together for a mercy moment in all of this world before Christ returns.

1 Corinthians 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man, but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape that you may be able to bear it."

I don't know your situation today, but I know that God will be faithful. He will not fail you. He will not forsake you. According to the Word of God, the things in your life are not strong enough to overpower you. God promises that He will not give you a trial or temptation greater than you can bear, but in your problem, He will show you a way of an escape.

You can always trust the Word of God because what He says is what He intends to do. God will be with you. Turn to Him now; talk to Him about it.

It's time to pray.
