Intercessory Prayers That Carry Others Before God
Discover the biblical power of intercessory prayer and how praying for others transforms lives and hearts. Intercessory prayer is one of the most selfless and powerful expressions of love found in Scripture. It is the act of carrying others before the Lord—lifting their burdens, needs, fears, and hopes into the presence of God. From the priestly garments of Aaron to the prayers of the early church, intercession has always been central to God’s redemptive work.
That’s Who I Praise – A Devotion on Sacrificial Worship
Join us in the ‘That’s Who I Praise devotion’ to reflect on God’s holiness and steadfast love through worship and prayer. “Let them praise Your great and awesome name! Holy is He!” (Psalm 99:3)
“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.” (James 5:13)
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His steadfast love endures forever!” (Psalm 118:29)
Brandon Lake’s powerful anthem “That’s Who I Praise” reminds us that praise is not rooted in our circumstances but in God’s unchanging character. We praise Him not only for what He does—but for who He is. He is holy. He is faithful. He is undefeated. He is worthy.
Jesus Loved You First | Daily Christian Devotion
Explore the profound truth of Jesus loved you first and how His unconditional love influences our relationships and lives. “We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)
Before we ever learned the language of love, before our hearts understood affirmation, God was already speaking love over us through action, sacrifice, and covenant. From childhood, we are shaped by hearing “I love you” from parents. Later, our hearts leap when a spouse speaks those same words, and lifelong bonds are formed when friends say them sincerely. Love, when spoken and lived, has the power to anchor a soul.
We Are Spiritual Beings Having a Human Experience
We are spiritual beings having a human experience—discover peace, purpose, and eternal hope through Christ. I love this quote . Heard it many years ago and it really stayed with me. I use it in my signature line for all of my emails. “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” These well-known words from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin resonate deeply because they echo a far older biblical truth. Scripture consistently reminds us that while we live in physical bodies, our truest identity is spiritual and eternal.
Only Jesus – Salvation, Identity, and Glory in Christ Alone
Explore this focused Christ-centered devotion reminding us that salvation, legacy, and glory belong to Jesus alone. “So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.’” (John 10:7) The words of Jesus in John 10 are both exclusive and deeply comforting. He does not describe Himself as a door among many, but the door. In a world that prizes self-effort, personal achievement, and spiritual multitasking, Jesus gently but firmly centers salvation, identity, and eternal hope on Himself alone. The gospel dismantles the illusion that we can save ourselves. It invites us instead to rest—fully and finally—in Christ.
Soul Food – Jesus the Bread of Life
Embrace the Bread of Life devotion to find true nourishment for your soul, as promised by Jesus and reflected in everyday living. Every culture, across every generation, has searched for something that truly satisfies the soul. Wealth, pleasure, achievement, and knowledge promise fulfillment, yet so often leave us restless and wanting more. The Preacher in Ecclesiastes captured this ache of humanity when he declared life “vanity” apart from God—a chasing after the wind.
Hold Your Horses (Mouth)
“You have a tongue and a voice. These instruments of speech can be used destructively or employed constructively. You can use your tongue to slander, to gripe, to scold, to nag, and to quarrel; or you can bring it under the control of God’s Spirit and make it an instrument of blessing and praise.” — Billy Graham
