I have spoken about good things that this man has done in the past. I have also called out things that he has said and done that I don’t agree with. I am trying my best to look at things Biblically, using discernment and not emotionally.

This one has got me a bit perplexed.

On the one hand, it seems to be a good thing and I believe that he is well intentioned by doing this.

On the other hand I feel that this is nothing more than a show he is putting on for the world to see. Scripture clearly warns us against praying in this manner.

Matthew 6:5

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

This isn’t saying that we can’t pray publicly, but our prayers shouldn’t be intended as some kind of show. As Christians, we shouldn’t have to set aside a special date to pray for this country or to dedicate our lives to GOD. This should be the default prayer of every single day of our lives.

I know that people have their own personal opinions on this man and his relationship with Jesus Christ. I am not here to question that. That is between him and GOD.

My question is why do we have to set aside date for this prayer?

Why do we have to make a spectacle of it?

Again. I’m not here to question his sentiment. He probably is well intentioned in his actions.

He can set his date and do his thing.

I don’t need the spectacle or the mark on my calendar. I pray these things every single day.

Becoming a Christian is not about making a weekly trip to a building. It is about a radical transformation where GOD makes a person His dwelling place.

Scripture declares:

1 Corinthians 6:19 — “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the HOLY SPIRIT who is in you, whom you have received from GOD? You are not your own.”

A church building is merely a meeting place. But the true Church is the people GOD has redeemed through CHRIST. When someone is born again, CHRIST does not simply become an occasional visitor in their life—HE takes up residence. The believer becomes a living temple where GOD dwells.

This truth should be deeply convicting. If CHRIST truly lives within someone, their life cannot remain the same. Their desires change. Their loves change. Their allegiance changes. Sin is no longer something to cherish but something to crucify.

Going to church weekly while living unchanged is not Christianity—it is religious routine. The question is not “Do you attend church?” but “Has GOD made you HIS dwelling place?”
True faith means becoming part of the living Church—people in whom CHRIST lives, people who carry HIS truth, HIS holiness, and HIS presence into the world.

Where CHRIST truly lives, transformation is unavoidable.

John 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.”

When a person truly draws near to GOD, their life becomes increasingly filled with Christ’s presence, truth, and obedience. Sin, worldliness, pride, and distraction cannot comfortably remain where devotion to GOD is growing. Just as darkness disappears when light enters a room, the heart that walks closely with GOD leaves little space for anything that competes with Him.

James 4:8 declares:
“Draw near to GOD, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Notice the command: drawing near to GOD requires cleansing and purification. The closer one walks with GOD, the more clearly sin is exposed and the less tolerance there is for anything that stands between the soul and its Creator.

Therefore, examine your life honestly.
If entertainment, relationships, ambition, secret sin, or worldly approval still easily occupies your heart, it reveals distance from GOD. But when a person pursues GOD through His Word, repentance, and obedience to Christ, competing idols begin to lose their grip.

The solution is not merely trying harder—it is drawing nearer.

Fill your life with GOD, and the things that once stood between you and Him will have nowhere left to stand.

Revival is not GOD’s strategy to rescue empty buildings—it is HIS mercy to rescue empty hearts.

A church can be full of people and still be spiritually hollow. Programs, music, crowds, and activity can create the appearance of life, yet the heart may remain cold toward GOD. True revival begins when GOD confronts the inner emptiness that religious activity cannot hide.

GOD is not primarily concerned with filling pews; HE is concerned with filling hearts that have grown numb to HIS holiness, HIS Word, and HIS glory. When revival comes, it exposes sin, crushes pride, and awakens a deep hunger for righteousness. It drives people to repentance, not merely attendance.

Empty churches are not the greatest tragedy. Empty hearts are.

But when GOD fills hearts—through repentance, faith, and renewed love for CHRIST—churches will not remain empty for long. Lives transformed by the gospel cannot stay silent. True revival spreads because hearts that have been filled with the grace of GOD overflow.

So the question is not, “How do we fill the church?”

The question is far more personal:
Is your heart full of GOD, or merely full of religion?

Imagine the absolute joy of standing in the presence of the LORD one day.

Now imagine seeing people that you love being cast into everlasting fire.

People that you were too afraid to upset by telling them about Jesus.

Maybe it was your brother or sister. Your Aunt or Uncle. Friends or coworkers. People you love. People you spend every day of your life with.

Do not let the fear of Evangelizing stop you from telling them today.

If you love them, tell themem about Jesus!

JESUS CHRIST is not a private preference or a cultural symbol—HE is LORD. HE is the SON of GOD who bore the wrath our sins deserved and rose again in victory. To be silent about HIM, to hide our worship out of fear of people, is to forget the immeasurable mercy GOD has shown us.

If GOD did not spare HIS own SON but gave HIM up for sinners, how could we ever be ashamed to praise HIS name?
The world mocks. The proud scoff. But the redeemed rejoice. Our voices, our lives, and our worship belong to JESUS alone.

I will not whisper HIS name.
I will not conceal my praise.
I will not bow to the fear of man.
JESUS died for me. JESUS lives. JESUS reigns.

And by the grace of GOD, I WILL NEVER BE ASHAMED TO WORSHIP JESUS.

You approach Jesus with trembling hands and say,

“Lord… it’s all I have.”

No trophies.
No righteousness.
No spiritual résumé.

Just a heart—cracked by sin, stained with failure, weary from striving.

And Christ replies,

“It’s all I want.”

Because Scripture declares:

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.”
— Psalm 51:17

Jesus does not demand your performance. He demands your repentance. He does not ask for polished religion. He requires a crushed pride. The only heart He refuses is the hard one.

If your heart is proud, it is far from Him.
If your heart is broken over sin, it is near to Him.

Bring Him everything—your guilt, your shame, your rebellion. Lay it down. Turn from it. Trust in Christ alone, who bled and rose to save sinners.

You say, “It’s all I have.”
He answers, “It’s all I want.”

Jeremiah 9:23–24

This is what the LORD says:
“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom,
nor the strong man in his strength,
nor the wealthy man in his riches.
But let him who boasts boast in this,
that he understands and knows Me,
that I am the LORD,
who exercises loving devotion,
justice and righteousness on the earth
for I delight in these things,”
declares the LORD.

STOP SEARCHING FOR YOUR PURPOSE.

It’s actually pretty simple.

You were not created to chase status.
Not to accumulate wealth.
Not to build a name for yourself.

You were created to know GOD.
Not to know about HIM.
Not to use HIM.
Not to fit HIM into your plans.
To know HIM — as HE has revealed HIMSELF in CHRIST.

And once you know GOD, your purpose overflows naturally:
To make HIM known.
Your life is not about self-fulfillment.
It is about GOD’s glory.

Stop wandering.
Stop inventing meaning.
Repent of self-centered ambition.
Boast in this — that you understand and know GOD.

Know GOD.
Make HIM known.

That is your purpose.

You have no idea how many lives GOD may intend to touch through your obedience.

Every quiet act of faithfulness, every word spoken in truth, every refusal to bow to sin—GOD can use it to awaken souls, confront rebellion, strengthen the weak, and draw the lost to Christ. You may see only inconvenience or sacrifice. GOD sees eternal ripples.
Your compromise does not stay small. Neither does your obedience.

If you walk closely with GOD, submit to His Word, and live unashamed of the gospel, He may use your life to influence generations you will never meet. Do not underestimate what GOD does with surrendered vessels.
The question is not whether your life will influence others. It will.

The question is whether it will magnify sin—or magnify GOD.

I once believed I had lost everything. My plans were shattered. My comfort was gone. The identity I built crumbled in my hands. I called it ruin.

But it was not ruin—it was mercy.
What I thought was the end was actually GOD stripping away what was never meant to save me. When everything else fell apart, I was forced to see what had been true all along: I never owned anything to lose. Every breath, every opportunity, every possession was a gift from GOD.
Losing “everything” was not destruction. It was exposure. Exposure of pride. Exposure of self-reliance. Exposure of the illusion that I was in control.

And then came grace.

GOD did not owe me another chance. He would have been just to leave me in the ashes of my own making. But instead, He allowed me to start again—not with self at the center, but with Him.

Starting over is not a second shot at building my kingdom. It is a call to repentance. A call to surrender. A call to build on the only foundation that cannot collapse.

If you think you’ve lost everything, examine carefully. It may be that GOD, in severe mercy, is giving you what you truly need: a clean beginning anchored in Him alone.

Discernment is a gift from GOD. It is not the ability to be suspicious, critical, or cynical—it is the grace to see reality as GOD sees it. It strips away the comforting illusions we prefer and exposes the truth we often resist.

We naturally interpret life through our desires, fears, and ambitions. We see what benefits us. We excuse what flatters us. We defend what pleases us. But discernment confronts self-deception. It reveals motives. It exposes compromise. It shines light into the corners we would rather keep dim.

When GOD grants discernment, He is loving you enough to correct you. He shows you the true condition of your heart, the real nature of a situation, and the spiritual forces at work—so you will not be led by emotion, culture, or pride, but by truth.

If you ask for discernment, be prepared: GOD will not simply adjust your perspective—He will challenge it. And that is mercy. Because seeing things as they truly are is the first step toward repentance, wisdom, and holiness.

Nowhere in the Bible are you commanded to figure everything out on your own. You are never told to carry the weight of tomorrow, decode every outcome, or secure your own future. That burden was never yours.
You are commanded to trust GOD.
Pride says, “I need to understand before I obey.”

Faith says, “GOD understands, and that is enough.”

Trying to control what only GOD governs is not strength—it is unbelief. It exposes a heart that would rather rely on self than rest in the sovereignty of the One who ordains all things for His glory and for the good of His people.

You are not called to self-sufficiency. You are called to dependence.
Trusting GOD is not passive. It is surrender. It is obedience when the path is unclear. It is peace when circumstances are unstable. It is humility that confesses, “I am not sovereign—GOD is.”

Stop striving to be what only GOD can be.
Trust Him.

Jesus said:

“However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth…”
— John 16:13

The Holy Spirit is not vague. He is not mystical intuition. He is the Spirit of truth. He convicts. He exposes. He restrains. He presses on your conscience when you are about to compromise.

Jesus also declared:

“When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment.”
— John 16:8

That “uneasy” feeling when something is off…

That tightening in your spirit before you send that message…

That hesitation before stepping into that relationship…

That internal check before laughing at that crude joke…

That is not random.
It is often the Holy Spirit warning you.

And Scripture commands:
“Don’t quench the Spirit.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:19

“Abstain from every form of evil.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:22

You quench the Spirit when you override conviction.

You grieve Him when you ignore His warnings:

“Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”
— Ephesians 4:30

Here is the hard truth:

If you repeatedly silence conviction, your heart hardens.

If you repeatedly excuse sin, your discernment dulls.

If you repeatedly say, “It’s probably fine,” when Scripture says otherwise — you are not walking by the Spirit, you are feeding the flesh.

The Spirit warns because He loves.
He convicts because Christ died to redeem you from sin — not to leave you comfortable in it.

When something feels spiritually off, do not negotiate with it.

Test it by Scripture.

If it contradicts God’s Word — it is sin.
Run from it.

The Spirit always glorifies Christ (John 16:14).

If what you are about to do does not honor Christ, the warning light is already on.

Listen.
Obey.

Holiness is not legalism — it is love for the Savior who shed His blood for you.
And if conviction reveals sin in your life right now, do not hide. Repent. Turn from it. Trust in Christ alone. There is full forgiveness for those who truly repent — but no peace for those who persist in rebellion.

The Holy Spirit warns you for your good and for God’s glory.

Do not quench Him.

Your children can run from you.
They can run from your rules.
They can run from your home.
They can run from the church pew they once sat in.

But they can never outrun your prayers.

Jesus said:
“Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart.” (Luke 18:1)

Parents, do not lose heart.
Your child may wander into rebellion.
They may harden their heart.
They may chase the world, love their sin, and silence conviction.

But if you are crying out to God day and night, heaven hears you.

The same chapter declares:
“Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?” (Luke 18:7)

God is not indifferent.
God is not absent.
God is not powerless.

Salvation does not belong to parents. It belongs to the Lord. You cannot regenerate your child’s heart — but the Spirit of God can. You cannot open blind eyes — but Christ can. You cannot grant repentance — but God can.

Keep praying.

Pray when they mock what you taught them.
Pray when they ignore your calls.
Pray when culture discipling them seems louder than you ever were.
Pray when the tears fall.

Because prayer is not wishful thinking — it is warfare. It is dependence on the sovereign God who raises the spiritually dead.

And remember: salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Your child does not need mere moral reform. They need a new heart. They need the gospel.

So preach Christ. Live faithfully. And refuse to stop pleading with God.
They may run from you.

They may run from church.
But they cannot run from a sovereign God who hears a praying parent.

Do not lose heart.
Keep on praying!
