Personal Holiness

Call to Holiness

Leave a comment

The Path Back to the Garden

“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
— Hebrews 12:14, AMP

Beloved, this is not a gentle suggestion—it is a holy command: without holiness, no one will see the Lord. The words burn with heavenly urgency. It is a call to the deepest part of your soul. It is a call to return to holiness.

In a world that waters down truth and trades purity for popularity, this verse stands like a flaming sword at the gates of Eden. For holiness is not just a command to obey—it is a memory your spirit longs to recover. Holiness is your spirit remembering how it was originally created in the Garden—unclothed by shame, unclouded by sin, walking with God in the cool of the day. You were formed for this. You were made for Him.

The Holiness of God: Our Pattern and Pursuit

The word holy is not merely religious—it is royal. It is the highest adjective ascribed to God throughout Scripture: Holy Ghost, Holy Lord, Holy One of Israel, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty. The seraphim do not cry loving, loving, loving, though God is love. They cry holy. They veil their faces, trembling in worship before the God who dwells in unapproachable light.

Holiness is the essence of God’s character, the very atmosphere of heaven. It is said that heaven is a holy place, and no unclean thing may enter it (Revelation 21:27). The angels who surround His throne are called holy ones, the watchers who behold His glory. Even they, created without sin, only partake of His holiness in a relative sense. But you, child of dust, are called higher still—not to observe holiness, but to wear it as you return to holiness.

The Call to Holiness Is a Call to See God

If you do not pursue holiness, you will not see God. This is the plain meaning of Hebrews 12:14. And this should disturb us. The absence of holiness obstructs our spiritual vision. It dulls the soul. It numbs the conscience. It closes our ears to His whisper. Many cry for revival but carry hearts untouched by repentance. They ask for fire but bring no altar.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8, NASB). And again, “Be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written: ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy’” (1 Peter 1:15–16, NASB). Holiness is not legalism. It is not perfection in the flesh. It is separation unto God—a life set apart, burning with desire for the One who is worthy.

Holiness Is the Journey of Intimacy

Holiness is not a burden—it is your birthright. It is not about sterile religion, but passionate relationship. Holiness is the path back to the presence of God. It is the undoing of everything that separated us from Him in Eden. To walk in holiness is to walk in the Spirit, to live as Adam once lived—clothed in glory, not garments, as you return to holiness.

When you yield to the Holy Spirit, He begins to restore you. He purifies your thoughts. He transforms your desires. Holiness is your spirit remembering Eden and longing to return. And in Christ, the way is open. The veil is torn. The blood speaks a better word. Do not resist the Spirit’s call. Do not cling to your chains. Listen to the call and return to holiness for true intimacy with God.

The Apostle James wrote, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded” (James 4:8, NASB). Let that cleansing begin now. Not tomorrow. Not when it’s convenient. Now.

The Spirit Makes Us Holy

You are not left to purify yourself. The Spirit of God is the Spirit of holiness, and He dwells within you to empower what your flesh could never accomplish. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, NASB).

Ask Him to burn away every impurity, to renew the Eden-vision in your heart. The blood of Yeshua is not weak. It cleanses fully. It restores completely. And the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead will sanctify you if you let Him.

This is the call to holiness. It is a call to return to the original purity. A call to intimacy. A call to see God.

Prayer

O Holy One, I have heard Your call. Cleanse me from every sin that clouds my soul. Strip away all compromise, all idolatry, all hidden pride. Return me to the purity for which I was created. Let my spirit remember Eden and burn to walk with You again. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and teach me to walk in holiness all the days of my life. I long to see Your face. Let nothing stand in the way. Help me return to holiness. In the name of Yeshua, Amen.

Return

Return to the Ancient Path

Leave a comment

Rediscovering Holiness in a Corrupt Generation

There is a cry rising from the depths of weary hearts—a cry for holiness, for purity, for God. In a culture that has abandoned truth and traded reverence for entertainment, many believers feel a sacred ache. It’s not for the past, but for something eternal. We long for the simplicity of walking with God, for the fear of the Lord to return to the house of God, and for lives that are marked by the power of His presence.

“Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads and look; and ask for the eternal paths, where the good, old way is; then walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Jeremiah 6:16, AMP)

What Is the Ancient Path?

This is the voice of the Lord. He is not calling you backward—He is calling you deeper.The ancient path is not tied to culture or nostalgia—it is the path of holiness, obedience, and intimacy with God. It is the way of righteousness, where God walks with man and speaks in the stillness of surrendered hearts.

The ancient path is not hidden. It is the way God has always desired His people to walk:
humble before Him, holy in conduct, and wholly devoted to His will.

“He has told you, mortal one, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8, NASB)

The ancient path was walked by Abraham when he obeyed without hesitation. It was walked by Moses when he met with God on the mountain. It was walked by David when he danced with abandon before the ark. It was walked by the prophets who wept for a wayward nation. It was walked by Yeshua, our Messiah, who fulfilled every step in righteousness, truth, and love.

This is not a call to ritual or rules. It is a call to relationship, reverence, and right living. It is the place where God’s fire falls, not on performance, but on purity.

Why We Stray—and Why We Must Return

The noise of this world drowns the whispers of God. We are bombarded with compromise dressed as wisdom and tolerance masquerading as love. Even within the church, the fear of man often outweighs the fear of God. But “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”(Proverbs 9:10, NASB), and without it, we are blind.

When we stray from the ancient path, our souls become restless. We chase peace, but it eludes us. We pursue success, but it leaves us hollow. Why? Because only God can satisfy the soul He created.

“For My people have committed two evils: They have abandoned Me, the fountain of living waters, to carve out for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that do not hold water.”(Jeremiah 2:13, NASB)

We must return. Not just to church services or better behavior—but to God Himself.

The Promise of Rest

The ancient path is narrow, but it leads to life. It is hard, but it is filled with the presence of God. And it carries a promise: “you will find rest for your souls.”

Yeshua echoed this in Matthew 11:28–29 (NASB): “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

There is no rest apart from Him. There is no peace in the broad road. But when we return—when we turn off the noise, repent of compromise, and bow before Him again—we find what we were always meant to have: communion with our Creator.

How to Return to the Ancient Path

  1. Stop and Look. Don’t rush. Stand still before God. Ask Him to reveal the path you’ve strayed from.
  2. Ask for the Ancient Path. Pray like David: “Search me, God, and know my heart… See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” (Psalm 139:23–24, NASB)
  3. Walk in It. Don’t just feel conviction—obey. Let holiness be your pursuit, not just your doctrine.
  4. Guard Your Heart. “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:23, NASB)

The Time Is Now

You were not born for this hour by accident. You are part of a remnant being called out of compromise into consecration. You are being invited into a deeper place, where the things of this world grow dim and the glory of God becomes your light.

Return to the ancient path. Return to the altar. Return to the Lord your God.

⸻

Prayer:

Lord God, I have heard Your call. I no longer want to walk in the ways of the world. I want the good and ancient path—the path where You are my only pursuit, my highest joy, and my deepest peace. Cleanse me. Lead me back. Teach me to walk in Your truth again. Let my heart burn for holiness and my life shine with Your presence. In the name of Yeshua, Amen.

Faith

When the Righteous Pray

Leave a comment

Unlocking Heaven’s Power Through Faith and Obedience

James 5:16-20 (AMP)

“The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].” – James 5:16b, AMP

When the righteous pray, heaven leans low and the earth begins to shift. James reveals a timeless truth: prayer is not powerful because of eloquence, but because of righteousness. The one who walks in step with God, purified and surrendered, is the one whose voice resounds in the throne room. Elijah was not an angel—he was a man, fragile and flawed like us—yet when the righteous prayed, the heavens were shut and opened again.

God responds to the prayers of His people who walk uprightly. “The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry” (Psalm 34:15, NASB). Confession and restoration are the gateway to power in prayer. That’s why James begins with “confess your sins to one another…that you may be healed.” The prayer that heals the sick and saves the soul begins with a heart made clean before God.

⸻

1. When the Righteous Pray, Healing Flows

God is the healer of both body and soul, and He often releases that healing in response to the prayers of His people. Holiness and humility open the door for divine restoration. David understood this when he cried out, “Search me, God, and know my heart… and lead me in the everlasting way” (Psalm 139:23-24, NASB). Prayer is not magic—it is relationship. It is a child speaking with their Father.

Yeshua said, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8, NASB). And when we see God rightly, we pray rightly. The blood of Yeshua cleanses us, so we may approach boldly. God does not require perfection; He requires repentance.

⸻

2. When the Righteous Pray, Heaven Moves

Elijah’s story proves that prayer changes reality. “He prayed intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain… Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain” (James 5:17-18, AMP). That was not a special case—that was a pattern. It was God working through a man in alignment with His will.

Yeshua promised, “If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7, NASB). Remaining in Him—abiding—is the soil where prayer becomes fruitful. God honors the prayer of the one who walks closely with Him. Prayer is not about twisting God’s arm but joining His heart.

⸻

3. When the Righteous Pray, Souls Are Rescued

James ends with a charge to pursue the wanderer. “If anyone among you strays from the truth… and [another] one turns him back… he will save that one’s soul from death” (James 5:19-20, AMP). Intercession is rescue work.

Paul mirrored this burden when he wrote, “My heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation” (Romans 10:1, NASB). We stand in the gap for family, neighbors, and even nations. God uses the prayers of His saints to draw sinners home. What greater power is there than to partner with heaven for the salvation of a soul?

⸻

4. When the Righteous Pray, Revival Begins

The fire of revival does not begin on platforms—it begins on our knees. 2 Chronicles 7:14 declares, “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face… then I will hear from heaven.” Revival comes when God’s people get low, repent, and cry out for His presence.

Are you willing to be one of them? Are you willing to live holy, pray boldly, and believe that your voice can shake the heavens?

⸻

When the righteous cry, He bends to hear,
With mercy swift and judgment clear.
Through burning prayer, the skies unfold,
And heaven’s hand begins to hold.

⸻

Prayer:

Holy Father, we come before You with hearts humbled and lifted in faith. Teach us what it means to live righteously, to pray with clean hands and sincere hearts. Thank You for the blood of Yeshua that makes us worthy to enter Your presence. Stir us, Lord, to be men and women of prayer who walk in holiness and boldness. Let our prayers bring healing, salvation, and revival. Let them not be weak whispers, but heaven-born petitions that align with Your will. Fill us with the fire of Your Spirit, that we may intercede for the broken, the lost, and the church. Let it be said of us: When the righteous prayed, God moved. In the mighty name of Yeshua, amen.

Church Repentance

Torn Between Two Thrones

Torn Between Two Thrones—this is the condition of much of the Church in America today. One throne is the seat of comfort, compromise, and cultural applause. The other is the throne of Yeshua, the crucified and risen King. And too many are trying to bow to both. But the Lord is speaking with clarity in this hour: You must choose. You cannot serve two masters. The time is short, and the shaking has begun.

My child, hear Me. I have seen your labor, your worship, your gatherings in My name. I have watched you weep at altars and lift your hands in praise. I know the love you once had for Me, the fire that once burned in your bones.

But I have this against you—you have drifted. You have let the noise of the world drown out My voice. You have allowed compromise to settle where conviction once lived. You have traded intimacy for influence, and truth for comfort.

You cry out for revival, yet you will not let Me revive you. You ask for My Spirit, but you resist when He comes to sanctify, correct, and burn away what does not belong. My eyes are like fire—not to destroy you, but to refine you. Yet many of you turn your faces from the flame.

⸻

You have tolerated what I hate.

You call yourselves free, but many of you are enslaved:

  • to pornography and lust, which rot the soul
  • to greed, which hardens the heart
  • to bitterness, which poisons every relationship
  • to fear of man, which silences the truth
  • to idols of politics and race, which divide what I made one
  • to entertainment and comfort, which lull you to sleep
  • to a gospel of self, which denies the cross

You carry My name but not My nature. You boast in your freedom, but you use it as a covering for sin. You welcome prophets of profit and teachers who tickle ears. You tolerate Jezebel, and you have forgotten how to weep for your sin.

Have I changed? Am I not the same holy God who thundered at Sinai, who struck down Ananias and Sapphira, who walked among the lampstands?

⸻

America, I blessed you, but you turned My gifts into gods.

I gave you liberty, and you used it to justify rebellion. I gave you abundance, and you forgot the Giver. I showed you mercy, and still you murder your unborn and parade your pride. You have exchanged truth for lies and celebrated what I call shame.

You have exalted the creature above the Creator and called it progress. You have cast off restraint and called it freedom. You have mocked My order, My design, My Word—and you think I do not see?

But I tell you the truth: I will not be mocked.

⸻

Yet still I stand at the door and knock.

My mercy has not run out. My hand is not shortened. I have not forgotten the remnant who have not bowed to Baal, who still hunger for righteousness. I have heard the prayers of the intercessors, the groans of My watchmen, the brokenness of the hidden ones who weep between the porch and the altar.

To you who will humble yourselves, return to Me.

Tear down your idols. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Stop blending My Word with the world. Return to the ancient paths. Preach the cross again. Love the truth again. Walk in the fear of the Lord.

The time is short. The fields are white. My Spirit is ready to be poured out—but I will not place new wine in old wineskins.

⸻

Church in America, return to Me—before the shaking becomes collapse.

Judgment begins in My house, but mercy is still flowing from My throne. If you will rend your hearts and not just your garments, I will restore what the locust has eaten. I will raise up sons and daughters to prophesy. I will inhabit your gatherings with My glory again.

I will not share My throne with idols. I am coming for a pure Bride, not a powerful brand.

I am calling you now—before the floodwaters rise.

⸻

To you who hear, respond:

Fall on your knees. Confess your sins. Forgive your enemies. Love the unlovable. Preach My Gospel—not a cultural gospel, not a political gospel—but the Gospel of the crucified and risen King.

I AM the Lord. There is no other. My Word will not return void. I have spoken—and I will do it.

Let the Church arise. Let the Bride prepare. Let the fear of the Lord return. Let the fire on the altar never go out.

⸻

Come back to Me. I am waiting.

—Yeshua, King of Glory, Lord of Hosts

Apostolic Prophetic

Sound the Shofar

Beloved, listen.

This is not just another message—this is a cry from the Spirit of the Living God. Open your heart. Don’t scroll past. Don’t silence the stirring. The time is too late and the hour too urgent. These words are not ink—they are fire. They are bread for the starving soul, water for the parched spirit. Eat. Listen. Engage. Heaven is calling, not with suggestion but with summons. The Lord is seeking those who will not harden their hearts but will tremble at His Word. Beloved, return. Return before the door shuts. Return before the harvest ends. Return while there is still breath in your lungs. This is for you. This is for now.

Lay it down.

All of it—the noise, the endless scrolling, the fear-soaked headlines, the idols of comfort and control. Lay down the false peace of passivity. Tear from your hands the chains of distraction. The world is loud, relentless, and poisoned with deception. But the voice of the Lord still thunders above it all. The Shepherd calls. The Spirit groans. And the Father waits.

Sound the mighty spiritual shofar! Not the trumpets of man, not the hollow horns of politics or media spin—but the true shofar of Heaven, the sound that shakes foundations and splits the sky. And today, let everyone hear the call to sound the shofar. Let it echo across the nations, from mountain to valley, from city to wilderness. Let the angels ready their ranks. Let the demons flee in terror. Let it be declared boldly to every principality in the air:

This world belongs to the Lord—and your time is short.

The throne of God is not up for debate. It cannot be silenced or censored. His kingdom does not rise and fall with human empires. The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it (Psalm 24:1, NASB). And yet, so many have forgotten. We have traded His glory for entertainment. His truth for tolerance. His presence for convenience. The enemy has numbed the Church, lulled her into slumber with comforts, busyness, and fear. But the alarm is sounding—and it’s time to wake up.

You powers of the air—hear the sound!

Yeshua reigns. His cross crushed your authority. His resurrection sealed your defeat. And His Spirit now lives in us, the blood-bought, fire-baptized, uncompromising remnant. We are not afraid. We are not backing down. The King is coming, and His Bride is rising.

Today is the day.

Not next week. Not when it’s convenient. Not when the calendar clears or the kids are older or the crisis passes. Now. If you hear His voice today, do not harden your heart. You know the tug in your spirit—that’s God. You feel the ache in your chest—that’s your soul remembering its true home. You feel the heat in your bones—that’s the fire He wants to fan into flame.

The world is choosing. You must choose.

Will you serve the gods of the age—convenience, self, popularity—or will you stand in the fire and declare, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord” (Joshua 24:15, NASB)? The days of playing Church are over. We need consecrated hearts, holy lips, and knees that bend only to the King of Kings. We need altars, not stages. Repentance, not performance. Fire, not fog machines. Sound the shofar today to declare this transformation.

The spiritual shofar is not just a call to arms—it’s a call to surrender. To throw down your idols and come trembling to the mercy seat. To rend your heart and cry, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10, NASB). You were not made for survival—you were made for glory. You were not saved to be silent—you were redeemed to roar.

So rise up, Church. Sound the shofar. Fall on your face. Cry out for mercy. Let the tears fall. Let the fire come.

Let your worship shake the heavens. Let your life echo with eternity.

Yeshua reigns. The King is coming. And we belong to Him.

⸻

Prayer

El Shaddai, sound the shofar of Heaven over our lives today. Tear through every layer of apathy and burn away what doesn’t belong. We lay down every idol, every distraction, every allegiance that isn’t to You. Let the kingdoms of this world tremble and the powers of darkness flee. Awaken Your Bride. Awaken me. Clothe us in righteousness, anoint us with boldness, and mark us with Your fire. We declare today: You reign, Yeshua. You alone.This is Your world. We are Your people. And this is the hour of Your glory.

In Your holy, powerful name—Amen.

  • Worship instead of worry
  • Consecration instead of comfort

Call to the Beloved

A Cry from the Sons of Issachar

Beloved, hear the voice crying out across the winds of this age, for the sons of Issachar still speak. Their bones rest, but their wisdom lives. If they walked among us now—those anointed to understand the times and know what Israel ought to do—they would not whisper comforts or opinions, but proclaim the heartbeat of El Elyon. Their voice would shake pulpits and awaken sleepers. This is not the time for compromise, but for consecration.

Beloved, awaken! You are being lulled to sleep by convenience.

Comfort has become your comforter; preference has replaced presence. The fear of God has grown rare in the sanctuary. The gatherings of the saints have been treated as optional, as though the Lord Himself had not said, “Do not forsake assembling together” (Hebrews 10:25). But the call of Issachar thunders: “Return to the fear of the Lord!” Let the shofar sound once more. Let fasting be restored. Let solemn assemblies rise again to understand the times we are in.

“Blow the shofar in Zion! Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly.” — Joel 2:15 (AMP)

Beloved, discern the shaking. God is speaking.

The turmoil you see is not random. This shaking is divine. Earth and heaven tremble at His voice. Systems are failing. Foundations are exposed. Will you continue building upon sand? Or will you lay hold of the Cornerstone, Yeshua? Do not return to Egypt. Do not trust in chariots. Understand these tumultuous times.

“Once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” — Hebrews 12:26–27 (NASB)

Beloved, rise—not with influence, but with holiness.

This is not the hour for branding, but for brokenness. Purity must return to the Bride. The sons of Issachar would weep at a Church content with giftedness but bankrupt of obedience. They would cry aloud: Let prayer altars burn again! Let Scripture reign supreme! Let shepherds feed the sheep and stop entertaining goats! They would urge us to understand these trials.

“Judgment begins with the house of God.” — 1 Peter 4:17 (NASB)

Beloved, this is a divine window—do not waste it.

Now is the time to walk in the Spirit. Now is the time to contend for awakening. Now is the time to sow the seeds of weeping that will reap eternal joy. This season will not last. The Beloved must move while the doors remain open. Understanding the urgency of the times is vital.

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call on Him while He is near.” — Isaiah 55:6 (NASB)

Beloved, stop looking for Pharaoh’s favor—look to God’s hand.

You cannot rely on Babylon and serve Zion. Jehovah Jireh is your source. Prepare your heart for manna, not menus. He will feed you in the wilderness, but not if you crave the leeks of Egypt. He is jealous for your trust. Understand that the times require complete reliance on Him.

“Come out of her, My people…” — Revelation 18:4 (NASB)

Beloved, disciple your children while there is still time.

The next generation will not stand by inheritance alone. They must know the God of Abraham as their God. Restore the family altar. Fathers, lift your voice in prayer. Mothers, guard the gates with fire. Raise warriors, not watchers. Ensuring they understand the significance of these times is crucial.

“Teach them diligently… when you sit… when you walk.” — Deuteronomy 6:7 (NASB)

O Beloved, wake up. You are not in a season of maintenance—you are in a season of war.

The time is short. The hour is late. The King is coming. Prepare the way. Understand the times. Know what to do.

Prayer

Father, awaken our hearts. Pierce through every false comfort and shake every counterfeit foundation. Teach us to walk in holiness, to love the truth, and to prepare for the coming of our King. Let Your fear return to our assemblies, and Your fire to our altars. May we raise up generations who know You, who worship in Spirit and in truth. May we understand the times and grow in wisdom. In the name of Yeshua, Amen.

God’s Hand in Every Ministry

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:6, NASB

Church, we are being summoned—not by man, not by program, but by the living voice of God—to place every ministry under His hand. Not just what we do for Him but who we are before Him. He is asking for a deeper surrender, a fuller dependence, a cleaner altar, showing God’s hand in every ministry.

Before revival breaks out in our communities, it must be born in our homes. And before it can rest on our homes, it must begin in our hearts. We must first put our house in order—personally, then as families, and then as the Church. Yes, God in His mercy will use us where we are, as we are—but He longs to give us a greater measure of Himself. And that measure comes only when we lay aside the sins we’ve tolerated and bring them to the altar in repentance.

It is written, “Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be an instrument for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work” (2 Timothy 2:21, NASB). God doesn’t want polished performance—He wants pure vessels. So we come to Him, not to impress, but to be transformed. We lay every prideful thought, every selfish motive, every hidden compromise at His feet. And we ask—Lord, fill us with Your fiery Spirit of Life!

To those who lead ministries: the Spirit is calling you to move at His pace, not your own. Seek His wisdom. Ask Him what is for now, and what is for later. Only the Lord knows the timing of the seed and the harvest. If you wait on Him, He will lead you with clarity, not confusion. If you trust His Spirit more than your strategy, He will build what no man can tear down. This reveals God’s hand in every ministry.

Let us look to the next generation—not with fear, but with fire. Speak life over them. Invite them into the kingdom, not as spectators, but as warriors in training. God is stirring up sons and daughters to prophesy, to worship, to carry His presence boldly. Will we make space for them? Will we believe for greater things?

And beloved, do not ignore the war for your own soul. The Lord is willing to break every chain, silence every lie, and lead you into freedom—but you must be willing to let go. Lay down every burden that weighs you. Cast off the sins that cling so tightly. For “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2 Corinthians 3:17, NASB). Trusting God’s hand in every ministry helps us find that liberty.

We must be united—not just in purpose, but in love. Real love. Not polite agreement, but supernatural, sacrificial love that covers offenses and binds the Church together. “Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity” (Colossians 3:14, NASB). When we walk in this kind of love, the world will know who we belong to.

Above all, our cry is this: Come, Lord Jesus, dwell among us. Let Your manifest presence rest in every ministry, every meeting, every moment. Not a visitation. A habitation. We do not want the stories of Your glory—we want the weight of Your glory now. We want You, El Shaddai, to lead, to fill, to reign in every ministry, showing God’s hand in every ministry.

And over West Boylston, we prophesy peace. We declare blessing. Let the name of Yeshua be lifted high in every street, every home, every heart. When God’s people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from wicked ways, He heals the land.

⸻

Put my house in holy line,
Every room by Your design,
Cleanse the halls with sacred flame,
That You alone receive the name.

⸻

Prayer

Holy God, we yield. Search our hearts. Set our houses in order. Let repentance flow like a river and pride be cast into the fire. We lay every sin on the altar. Fill us with Your fiery Spirit of Life. Reign in every ministry—lead us in truth, timing, and love. Touch our youth with boldness. Heal our homes with unity. Dwell in our midst, not just as a guest, but as King. And may West Boylston be known as a place where Your hand is at work, and Your name is lifted high, showing God’s hand in every ministry.

In the name of Yeshua,

Amen.

Prayers, The Pursuit

The Spirit of Expectation

When We Believe, He Comes

Beloved, something eternal stirs in the heart that waits on God. Not with arms folded, but with arms lifted. Not in sleepy ritual, but with trembling faith. This is the Spirit of Expectation—the holy fire that has always preceded the movement of the Holy Spirit. And it is this fire that God is kindling once again. This Spirit of Expectation must be embraced.

I have seen many things over the years—church services filled with passion, others heavy with routine. But one recent moment marked me deeply. I was at a Friday evening worship service, simple and quiet. A husband and wife led us in just one song. After it ended, they declared over the congregation, “The Lord is here.” And He was. Not in theory, not in concept—He was tangibly present. Glory broke in like the sun through storm clouds. Why? Because someone believed. Someone proclaimed with faith. Expectation opened the door, and the King walked through.

“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!” (Luke 1:45, NASB). This blessing, spoken over Mary, is a beacon to us all. She didn’t wait to see the promise before believing—she believed first. And so must we. When we sing our songs without faith, we offer noise. But when we worship in expectation, heaven listens, and God responds.

The early Church understood this. They waited in the upper room, not bored but burning. They had heard the words of Yeshua—“You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now” (Acts 1:5, NASB)—and they believed. So they waited. Not passively, but “continually devoting themselves to prayer” (Acts 1:14, NASB). And then, “suddenly a noise like a violent rushing wind came from heaven” (Acts 2:2, NASB). The fire didn’t come to the curious; it came to the convinced. Their Spirit of Expectation brought divine results.

Expectation is the forerunner of glory. Before the Red Sea parted, Moses lifted his staff in obedience, expecting God to act. “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord”(Exodus 14:13, NASB). Before the fire consumed the altar, Elijah soaked the sacrifice, expecting God to respond with fire (1 Kings 18:36–38). And He did. Why? Because they expected Him to move.

Moses on the Mountain — a lone prophet stands with staff in hand, watching the light of God break through the valley, expectant for the fire to fall.

The tragedy today is not that God is silent—it’s that we no longer expect Him to speak. We host services without watching for Him. We pray without believing for answers. We gather without hunger. And yet, the Lord waits to be gracious to us (Isaiah 30:18). He desires to be welcomed, not as a guest, but as the rightful King. This Spirit of Expectation must be rekindled.

You must rise, dear one. Awake from slumber. Shake off the dust of disappointment and the cloak of unbelief. “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1, NASB). Don’t just go through the motions—press in with belief. Expect God to break in when you pray. Expect Him to heal when you ask. Expect Him to speak when you listen. The Spirit still moves where He is wanted. Embrace the Spirit of Expectation in every aspect of your life.

That night at worship reminded me: it doesn’t take a stadium or a crowd. It takes faith. It takes someone who will say with confidence, “The Lord is here,” and mean it. When that word was spoken, it wasn’t a suggestion—it was a declaration. And He answered faith with presence.

The Church must recover this. Revival will not come to the disinterested. It will come to those who cry out, “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and I wait for His word. My soul waits in hope for the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning” (Psalm 130:5–6, NASB).

Are you watching? Are you waiting? Or are you merely going through the motions? Yeshua is ready to visit His people, but we must prepare Him room. Let your heart become an upper room again—filled with prayer, filled with worship, filled with expectation. Let the Spirit of Expectation guide your every step.

When we believe, He comes. When we proclaim in faith, He is faithful to answer. This is the Spirit of Expectation. And it is time for the Church to awaken.

I watched the sky, I watched the flame,
I waited long with lifted head.
He came, not late, nor wrapped in shame—
He came just as the prophets said.

Prayer

Lord Yeshua, awaken in me a Spirit of Expectation. Forgive me for every time I sang without belief, prayed without hope, and gathered without hunger. Stir my soul to long for You again. I do not want empty religion—I want Your presence. Let my heart believe that You will do what You have said. I lift my eyes to You. Come, Lord—come into my worship, my home, my life. I wait for You. I believe You. I expect You. Amen.

The Everlasting Pentecost

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.” — Acts 2:1, NASB

I cry out to you as one crying in the wilderness: awaken your heart, for the Holy Spirit has not left us. He has not retreated to history’s quiet corners. He has not faded into the shadows of theology. Pentecost was not a moment to be remembered; it is a reality to be lived. The fire that fell in that upper room did not burn out—it spread. And it waits even now to consume you with power from on high. Embrace the Everlasting Pentecost in your life.

Pentecost came—and it stayed. This is the essence of The Everlasting Pentecost.

You who feel distant, who have known the Holy Spirit only as a name in a creed or a whisper in a worship song, listen! He is here. Not in concept or ritual, but in power and presence. “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, NASB). This is not poetic suggestion. It is truth that shatters complacency. The God who shook the upper room dwells in you.

The early disciples did not seek a passing experience. They waited in obedience and hunger, their hearts united. And suddenly, like a mighty rushing wind, God Himself came to dwell in men. That wind still blows. That fire still burns. The presence of the Spirit has not diminished—we have simply ceased to press in. In embracing The Everlasting Pentecost, we must press in continually.

We have grieved Him by replacing intimacy with activity. We have traded awe for entertainment. Our insensibility to the Spirit is not due to His absence but to our distraction. Yet, He waits. The dove of Heaven still descends upon the hearts that make room.

O child of God, you were not meant to live powerless. You were not called to survive off past revivals or secondhand stories. You were called to live Pentecost daily. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, NASB) And so is His Spirit.

If He is God, then He is always now. If He is God, then He is always here. There is no Elsewhere with El Shaddai. The Spirit is not bound by yesterday’s failures or tomorrow’s fears. He is the living power of God breaking into the present moment with eternal purpose.

You must not settle. Stir yourself. Let the cry of your heart rise: “Holy Spirit, come afresh! Fall on me again! I will not be content with the memory of Your presence—I must know You now and experience The Everlasting Pentecost.”

You must believe that Pentecost is your portion, not because of your strength, but because of Yeshua’s promise. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”(Acts 1:8, NASB). This is not suggestion. It is a summons. It is time to rise, to repent of apathy, and to seek the fire that never dies.

God has not changed. The Spirit has not withdrawn. Pentecost is not past—it is present. Live in the reality of The Everlasting Pentecost.

Prayer

Father, in the mighty name of Yeshua, I repent of my unbelief and distraction. I have known of Your Spirit, but I long to know Him. Send Your fire again. Fill me with power from on high. Let me live in the fullness of Pentecost—not as history, but as my daily reality. Open my eyes to see Your presence, open my heart to receive Your power. Let me walk in obedience and boldness as the early disciples did. Let this day—this very moment—be the upper room of my soul. Come, Ruach HaKodesh. I make room for You. Amen.

The Fire of His Presence

O Lord, who rides upon the storm, whose breath ignites the flame,
You stir the dust to rise and dance, and call Your children’s name.
In wind and fire, You still appear, as on that holy day,
Let every heart become Your throne, and never drift away.

Hold On in Faith

Why the Chosen Are Not Always the Strongest

“Many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14, NASB)

Beloved, we live in a time when many hearts are growing cold. Some who once stood firm in the faith are now questioning everything they believed. They call it “deconstruction”—a process where people tear down their beliefs, but never rebuild on the truth. Instead of seeking God with open hearts, they walk away from His Word in search of something more comfortable, more convenient, more acceptable to the culture. Still, we must hold on in faith.

But the voice of God still whispers in the noise.

He calls—not the proud or the perfect, but those willing to remember, seek, and stay.

You are not chosen because you win.
You are chosen because you remember.
Because you seek.
Because you stay.

This is the calling of the remnant. This is the heart of the Bride of Christ.

“Not that we are adequate in ourselves… but our adequacy is from God.” (2 Corinthians 3:5, NASB)

What Does It Mean to Be Chosen?

To be chosen by God is not to be the most spiritual, the loudest, or the strongest. It is to be the one who says yes when God calls. It means to hold on in faith no matter what challenges come your way.

Scripture tells us, “There is none righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10, NASB). We are not chosen because of our strength or worth. We are chosen by mercy.

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” (Ephesians 1:4, NASB)

And yet, many are invited—but few respond. Why? Not because God’s mercy is lacking, but because their hearts are unwilling.

“I wanted to gather your children together… and you were unwilling.” (Matthew 23:37, NASB)

God never forces love. He draws, He calls, He awakens—but He gives us the freedom to respond. That’s where free will lives: not in earning salvation, but in choosing to receive it.

Faith Is Holding On When Others Let Go

If you are still standing, still praying, still clinging to Yeshua in a world that mocks holiness—you are not forgotten. You are chosen.

  • Hold on in faith when your prayers seem unanswered.
  • Hold on when your heart is tired.
  • Hold on when others let go, and you are tempted to follow.
  • Hold on when all you can say is, “I believe; help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:24, NASB)

To be holy is to hold on.
To abide in the Vine (John 15:4–5).
To press on toward the upward call (Philippians 3:12).
To stay when leaving would be easier.

A Prayer for the Faithful Remnant

Father, we thank You for calling us by Your mercy. Not because we were wise, or strong, or worthy—but because You are good. Give us the strength to remember what You have done. Help us to seek Your face in a world that seeks distraction. Teach us to stay when others walk away. Let us hold on in faith and not waver.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for You who promised are faithful (Hebrews 10:23, NASB).

In Yeshua’s name we pray—Amen.
