Honoring the Lord can deeply impact our daily lives by providing guidance and purpose, fostering inner peace, and maintaining a strong moral compass. It connects us with a supportive community and builds resilience during tough times. Additionally, it instills a sense of joy and gratitude by recognizing and giving thanks for our blessings. By incorporating these principles into our routines, we can lead more fulfilling and purposeful lives.

In tough times, God's love and goodness can give us hope and strength. Even when life is hard, His love is always there, offering comfort and support. By praying, reflecting on blessings, and relying on a faith community, we can feel God's presence and know we are not alone. His love helps us find light and hope, even in the darkest moments.

No matter the circumstances that surround you today, God is pulling you within your purpose. Choose less of you and more of Christ and watch the Lord move mightily in and through your life.

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8, NIV)

In prayer, we follow this progression: asking, seeking, and knocking. It’s not just about receiving what we desire; it’s about aligning our hearts with God’s purposes. As we engage in this process, we discover that God’s answers often exceed our requests, and His open doors lead to unexpected blessings.

Are you dragging around the heaviness of your history? In Walking in the Spirit, host Carlos Rivera reminds us, “the environment of your past does not have to be the atmosphere of your future.” We are crushing discouragement and doubt today and establishing an atmosphere for miracles! Forget the past while making good use of its lessons.

The way we talk to ourselves can influence our mindset, emotions, and overall well-being. Speak what God says about you and your life. Remind yourself of your inherent worth and potential in Christ: "I am wonderfully made" and "I am loved and valued."

As we begin this new year, many of us feel a renewed sense of optimism and determination. We will flourish instead of merely survive. Pastor Carlos Rivera gives us three Keys to Thrive in '25!

Fasting is one of the most influential spiritual disciplines we can practice. Prayer, combined with fasting, shuts out the things of the flesh, even its basic needs, to open more fully to the things of the Spirit through communion with God. As you make fasting a part of your life, you'll start seeing a huge impact.
