WORDS TO INSPIRE
Hey guys!!! This is Joshua. Let's get to it and get real.

Many people can recite the Lord’s Prayer from memory, yet still miss the doorway through which the prayer is given. Jesus did not offer it as a general religious poem. He taught it as the Son who brings people to the Father. That matters. The first words, “Our Father,” are not casual. They are intimate, holy, and deeply Christ-centered. The Lord’s Prayer is not simply about saying the right lines. It is about coming to God in the way God has made possible, through Jesus Chris

Materialism rarely announces itself as a spiritual danger. It often sounds reasonable. A better home. Newer clothes. More savings. A safer future. A life that looks successful. The Bible does not condemn possessions themselves. Many faithful people in Scripture had resources, land, influence, or trade. The deeper warning is about what happens when possessions become a source of identity, security, comfort, or worship. Materialism is destructive because it trains the soul to e

Ego rarely announces itself as rebellion. More often, it sounds like confidence, self-protection, ambition, or the need to be right. It can hide behind good gifts, real accomplishments, spiritual knowledge, or leadership. Yet Scripture treats pride as spiritually dangerous because it turns the heart inward and upward at the same time: inward toward self, and upward in self-exaltation. The Bible does not condemn healthy identity or gratitude for God-given abilities. People are

Revelation 17 and 18 describe a society so wealthy, seductive, and self-assured that it cannot imagine judgment ever reaching its gates. It is dressed in luxury, admired by rulers, and mourned by merchants. Yet beneath the gold and scarlet is a deadly sickness: greed. The chapters present “Babylon” as more than one ancient city. Babylon becomes a symbol of organized rebellion against God, a corrupt system that feeds on idolatry, exploitation, violence, and excess. Greed is no

Some days we carry life like the whole world depends on our ability to hold it together. We rehearse conversations that have not happened. We worry about outcomes we cannot control. We measure our worth by how well we perform, how prepared we feel, how many people approve of us, or how carefully we avoid mistakes. We wake up tired before the day has even begun because our minds have been working all night. There is a kind of seriousness that is good. We should take love serio

Heaven is often pictured as a faraway place with closed doors, as if the faithful wait outside and wonder whether they will be welcomed in. Revelation 21 and 22 give a different picture. The final vision of Scripture shows a holy city coming down, gates standing open, tears wiped away, death defeated, and Jesus speaking the last invitation. The phrase “Jesus knocking on heaven’s gate” is poetic, not a direct quote from Revelation 21 or 22. Yet it captures something true about

The book of Revelation offers some of the most vivid and powerful imagery in the Bible, especially when describing the ultimate authority and glory of Jesus Christ. In chapters 19 and 20, the titles King of Kings and Lord of Lords stand out as declarations of supreme power and divine sovereignty. These chapters reveal a vision of Christ’s triumphant return, His judgment over evil, and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. Understanding these passages helps believers grasp

A person can grow sick long before they admit they are in danger. The body gives signs, but pride, fear, distraction, or denial can silence the alarm. Revelation 17 and 18 describe a spiritual sickness that works the same way. It is toxic because it does not always look poisonous at first. It can look wealthy, powerful, religious, beautiful, successful, and secure. That is why these chapters are so serious. The book of Revelation opens as “the revelation of Jesus Christ.” The

Sermon Outline: Introduction: The Shape of Surrender The Hook: Look closely at the human body. When we open our arms wide to welcome someone, to express honesty, or to step into complete vulnerability, our bodies naturally form a specific shape. We form the shape of a cross. The Tension: The world tells us to clench our fists—to hold onto wealth, to protect our ego, to look out for number one, and to exploit others for personal gain. But a clenched fist cannot receive what Go

1. Redemption is not about becoming a better version of ourselves. It means surrendering our old life and becoming more like Jesus Christ. 2. Redemption changes us from the inside out. God gives believers a new nature and the ability to live a new life. 3. Conversion and redemption are different. Conversion means turning away from an old lifestyle. Redemption is God’s work in us through Jesus Christ. 4. The Holy Spirit shows us our need for God. When we recognize our sin, Chr

The 27th Hour The Lord has given me this message to share. We know the 11th hour means the last possible moment. But the 27th hour represents a special moment when we stop depending on ourselves and surrender to Jesus. Jesus faced His appointed hour on the cross. Now we must ask: When will we turn to Him? Psalm 27:1 says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” David trusted God even when he was surrounded by enemies. Matthew 27:45 tells us that darkness c

The Law of the Loop: How God Restores His Creation Scripture shows that God’s plan of salvation is complete and purposeful. From Genesis to Revelation, He works to restore what was broken and bring heaven and earth together. The Lord’s Prayer says, “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). This points to God’s desire to transform people from the inside, not merely place rules over them. Jeremiah 31:33 says, “I will put my law in their inward parts, and w

Today I proclaim this day to be a fountain of tears. Oh, that my head were waters, And my eyes are a fountain of tears, That I might weep day and night For the slain of the daughter of my people! This is based on Jeremiah (9:1) Mark this day as a day of new beginnings of His words. It is time; there is no turning back now.

Five Pounds of God’s Word God’s Word gives us the truth and guidance we need for our lives. In Revelation 17–22, we see a warning about the dangers of materialism, greed, pride, and taking advantage of others. When God says, “Come out of her, my people” (Revelation 18:4), He calls us to leave harmful influences and turn back to Him. Revelation 19 shows Jesus as the true King and the Word of God. His truth exposes evil and brings judgment and justice. Revelation 20 reminds us

A Man After God’s Own Heart The Bible calls David “a man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22). This does not mean David was perfect. It means he was chosen by God and committed to following His will. What does this mean today? • A surrendered heart: We seek God’s will instead of our own. • A repentant spirit: Like David, we admit our sins and sincerely turn back to God. • A love for God: We desire to honor Him, know Him, and trust Him. • A life of obedience: We

It Is Time After 30 years of serving God, I share this message with humility. I am a simple man seeking to follow Jesus Christ and grow in my faith. This blog will share biblical truths and reflections from my spiritual journey. My desire is to honor Jesus, our living King and Lord of Lords. May all praise and honor go to our Father in Heaven, and may God our Father have mercy upon our souls. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Señor Dios Todopoderoso: Te doy gracias con todo mi corazón. Reconozco mis pecados y me presento ante ti con humildad. Gracias por tu Espíritu Santo, que me limpia y me ayuda a apartarme del pecado. Te pido que transformes mi vida, hagas morir mi antiguo yo y enciendas en mí un deseo profundo por tu verdad y justicia. Dame sabiduría, entendimiento, paz y alegría. Reconozco que enviaste a Jesucristo para morir en la cruz por nuestros pecados. Él entregó su vida para darnos vid

Lord God Almighty, I come before You with a thankful heart. I admit my sins and recognize my need for You. Thank You for Your cleansing Spirit. Please remove my old ways and fill me with a strong desire for Your truth and righteousness. Give me wisdom, understanding, peace, and joy. I believe that Jesus Christ suffered, died on the cross for our sins, defeated Satan, and rose again to give us everlasting life. In the holy name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
