John 8:31-31

If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

This is God’s promise for His people. It doesn’t mean you will be free in one day. It’s a process. As you abide in God’s word, and you embrace His truth in your heart, the truth of God will set you free. The truth of His love for you, the truth of His power, the truth that you are more than a conqueror, the truth that He has a plan and purpose for your lives. When you embrace all of the truths of his promises for you, it will change you. Let's not walk around in fear and defeat, but walk in boldness and victory. It’s time for the weak to rise and know the truth of the power of God. Let us be the people God has called us to be.

It's time to walk in truth and be free.

In "Can Jesus Come Back To America?", our general overseer, Pastor Carter Conlon, follows Luke 8:26-40, the story of the demon-possessed man, and
how Christ saved him out of the darkness that was in him.

We have a choice to make. We can walk toward the voice of God, or we can draw back into our reasoning, which will always lead us into unbelief. When we put human reason with the leading of God quite often, it causes our heart to believe what's set before us is impossible and can not be done. We can either obey the reasoning of our heart, or we can obey the voice of God. If God is speaking to you, don't harden your heart against Him. Don't miss out on the promises of God or hinder Him from using you in a mighty way for His glory. Stand up and move toward the voice of God and walk away from your reasoning, and watch what God will do in and through your life.

For us to know if we are living in the last days, there must be a witness not only in the current events of our day but there has to be a witness in scripture. As we see our social climate declining and the scriptures being fulfilled, we can see Jesus’ return is near. We may not know when he will return exactly, but when we align the scriptures with our current events, we can see we are living in the last days. We need to be aware of the times we are living in. We need to be diligent in our walk with Christ and lead as many people as possible to our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our reason on the earth is to testify about what Christ did on the cross. We don’t have to be afraid of the decline in our society. We need to ask God for a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit and allow God to work in and through us to be a witness to those who are lost. It’s not time to coward back in fear. It’s time to rise and be a part of God’s end-time army.

When we get to this place that Moses was in,
this place that the apostle Paul found when he said,
“when I'm weak then I'm strong”,
he was not just not filling words on a page to write in scripture,
he understood something that we lost in our generation of constantly building up the natural man.
In America in particular,
we've spent all of this time building ourselves up,
just to go out and fail and leave our nation in bankruptcy,
when in reality,
the power of God is found when we finally get to the end of ourselves.....
the end of ourselves is the beginning of God.
It's time for the weak, the drug addict, the drunk, the depressed, the single mom,
it's time for those who feel hopeless,
it’s time for you to rise up in the power and strength of your God,
and be a voice for God,
and be a testimony for God.
It is not about your success and is not about your failure....
it is Christ in you, the Hope of Glory....
not bringing a message about Christ,
but Christ getting his message through you...
through a surrendered vessel.

The storms are approaching in this country, and we are being called of the Lord to come boldly to the throne of grace. There is never going to be an awakening or change if someone doesn’t come boldly to God. It will not be by our power but that of God. The time has come for the people of God to pray courageously; what would you have me to do?

The will of God is revealed in the Word. God doesn’t want to hide His will for you. You can find the will of God only in God. He wants you to see, believe it, walk in it and grow in it, no matter how small it may appear to be. Ask for His will to be revealed to you today.

We are living in a moment in which God is calling the weak to prayer. Our cities and streets are dark; we cannot overcome them by our own efforts; we need God, we need to decide to pray. Moses decided to pray and stand in the gap for others; he was later strengthened, guided, guarded, and taught by God. God is on the throne and can do the same with you.

When the Holy Spirit begins to fill our hearts and mind, we are given the ability to understand the truth of God’s Word. When God speaks to us, and we obey, we will be led into the miraculous. A cry will arise in our hearts and a trust in Christ. Let this walk be supernatural all the way to the finish line.

We must not let the window of prayer be closed even for one day. It’s time to pray and press into the power of God.

I say this because I love you. We are in a time in which we desperately need to come closer to God. Tomorrow is not guaranteed; life's sins need to be dealt with today. Don't put it away; deal with it, begin to commune with God. Pray while you still can.

If you falter in your first steps of faith, Jesus will reach out and grab your hand and will lift you. God is not offended by our fears to walk in the storm; He won't withdraw from us when we fail. In the middle of your storm, I encourage you to step out and begin to walk towards Jesus.

God is the God of the miraculous. If you are facing challenging circumstances in your life, health, or work and have a shred of faith in your heart, I encourage you to seek God. God answers prayers but not in the way we usually think. He will do the miraculous His way.

We can't do it on our own. We can't walk the path God has laid out for us without the Holy Spirit. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to glorify God and to bring the Goodnews to all. So I encourage you to pray, "Come Holy Spirit, We Need You," He is listening.

Friends, throughout the Bible, God provides the reminder that Jesus came for those who feel empty, bound, rebellious, foolish, and for those who rely on the world's wealth. Psalm 107 speaks about a prayer that takes on a depth that can only emit a cry. God hears that cry, for He is not willing for anyone to perish. God's mercy is here for you.

Are you tired of trying to be good in your own strength? Human effort goes nowhere, BUT God desires to give you a supernatural strength found in Jesus. God says I will do something so powerful in your life that you will rise from your weariness and will gain strength to move mountains. Friends, I encourage you to seek Jesus. Please don't put it off.

There are times that we can get stuck in the past that we lose sight of the future and lose sight that God has a plan and path. He will give you a new song as you walk on God's path. My friend, accept the new song He wants to give you; you get this song by opening your heart and ears to the voice of God.

There is victory being offered through Jesus, for the lame, for those who feel powerless, like the nobodies, the nothings, the ones who have exhausted all avenues to fix themselves. Jesus came for the sick, for it is He who will bring restoration. My friend, this promise is not only for me. It's for you too!

It’s a decision that will have eternal implications for humanity. Choosing to go with God changes the course of history. You were created to be in a relationship with God; you are the miracle that can change the world when you choose God. Even those that made mistakes but chose God were used for His glory to change the world. Who will you choose?

Friends, I want you to know that there is a voice that is above every other voice. Above the voice that says you are despised, worthless, will never change, or an addict. The voice of God says otherwise. God says you are CHOSEN, you are NEEDED, you are LOVED, and WILL makes a difference in this generation. Arise for God Has Chosen You
