Overcoming The Difficulties Of The Latter Times

 2 Timothy 3:1-5

It is people in the world that make the latter times perilous.

We have perilous times because we have perilous people.

People become perilous because of the kind of spirits that have gone out into the world.

1 John 4:1

The spirits of this age are making people very difficult and hardened.

It will take more than having money to overcome the challenges in the world today, and the challenges to come upon the world.

There are challenges money cannot solve.

There are challenges money cannot fix.

Money does not cure many illnesses and diseases in the world today.

At best money can get you medical treatment and medication that suppresses the ailment.

Money does not cure, it only gives you options.

There's so much emphasis on money in our generation, unfortunately many have allowed money to replace God in their hearts.

Matthew 6:24


The spirit with an individual will determine how well that individual prevails and triumphs in these times.

God's Spirit and presence is a necessity at this time.

The Spirit of God is your biggest asset in this day.

You need God's divine presence.

Luke 24:29


Daniel was a man who lived in an ungodly and perilous environment.

He triumphed in the midst of setups, wickedness and attacks against him.

The same can be said about his friends - Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego.

God's presence with Daniel and his friends is who saw them through their challenges and delivered them.

Daniel 3:24-28


If you want to escape the traps, evil schemes, and conniving of the wicked in these times you will need divine presence.

Daniel 6:1-28

The end times is a time of betrayal according to the scriptures.

Matthew 24:10

Daniel was betrayed by colleagues.

Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego were betrayed by those who were close to them but envied them.

Babylon of old can be likened to the state of the world in the latter times- ungodly, evil, and perilous.

Daniel, Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego can be likened to the saints or the church.

Just like Daniel and his three friends we will need God's Spirit, God's presence to prevail in a dark world.


May the Spirit be with you!

John 16:7

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or
