Christian Motivation - God Will Never Pass You By.

Perfect Worship? - Jack Hibbs. Pastor Jack takes on the hot-button topic of worship songs, should we sing them even if they've been written by people who are off base? How does our own conscience play a part in what songs we sing unto God? What's really at the heart of your worship?

John MacArthur The Savior Silences the Sadducees (Luke 20:27-40).

Christian Motivation: OVERCOMING THE PAIN OF REJECTION | God Will Never Reject You. Everyone will face rejection. Weather in a relationship or professionally it happens to all of us at some point in our lives. Even Jesus was not immune to rejection. But God will never reject you!  Speakers: Howard-John Wesley, Allen Jackson, Paul Richardson, Kyle Idleman, Jim Burgen, Tim Doremus, Jeff Cochran.

Christian Motivation - THE END OF THE DOLLAR HAS ALREADY BEGUN: The Antichrist is Coming. From direct exchange to digital money, economic history reveals a single common thread: money is no longer freedom, but CONTROL. Babylon, Rome, and modern empires understand that where there is value, there is power. With Bretton Woods (1944) and the collapse of our standard in 1971, the dollar went from being a guarantee to a show of faith in the system. Today, we are entering a third great transformation: CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currencies), digital identity, and AI (Artificial Intelligence); a model capable of tracking, scheduling, and blocking every transaction. The Bible already warned about this. Revelation 13 describes a system where “no one will be able to buy or sell” without measuring global power. This is not science fiction: it is the architecture that is already being built on data, surveillance, and obedience. “Progress” promises security, but we are preparing for the presentation. Not so much, the Kingdom of Christ remains. This transformation is not meant to scare us, but to wake us up. When the system demands your loyalty, choose the Lamb. For the fall of Babylon will be total, but the hope of God's people is eternal.

Joel Osteen (November-04-2025) Today's Word: All is Well. 

Today’s Scripture: 2 Kings 4:26, ESV - "...say to her, 'Is all well with you? Is all well with your husband? Is all well with the child?'" And she answered, "All is well."

Today’s Word: Second Kings 4 records the story of a mother whose little boy suddenly died in her arms. Yet even when it looked unbearable, she knew that unexpected trouble wasn't a surprise to God. She immediately set out to get her friend the prophet Elisha. Twice she was asked if her child was well, and she answered, "All is well." She knew that God could make a way where she didn't see a way. Elisha prayed for the little boy, and he miraculously came back to life.

We all face unexpected challenges--the loss of a loved one, a personal failure, a layoff, a sickness. It's easy to get overwhelmed. But rather than complain and go around in self-pity, go deeper and instead have a report of faith, "All is well. God's in control." Then because you are rooted in the Most High God, you'll feel the peace that passes understanding and have the strength to endure what should have taken you out.

Prayer for Today: "Father, thank You that You are the Most High God who sees every unexpected and uncertain circumstance I will ever face. I declare that my peace and strength are in You, and my roots are firmly set in You. All is well today. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

John Hagee (November-04-2025) Daily Devotion: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you

When we live rejoicing and praying without ceasing, these life-changing practices shift the dynamic of our lives. The third powerful principle in God’s will for us lies in learning to give thanks in everything.

Rejoicing encompasses praising God, but giving thanks is attributing to God the credit He deserves. We show appreciation for Who He is and what He has accomplished in and through our lives.

Every piece of creation comprises the magnificent display of His glory. For every bird that sings, He wrote the song. For every rustling leaf, He breathed the breeze that causes it to flutter. The rising sun reminds us of His renewed mercies. He holds every towering mountain in His hand. He scooped out every valley in the earth.

He deserves the glory for everything that He has created and sustained by His mighty right hand. He deserves the glory for saving and redeeming us, for conquering powers and principalities, for every blessing that He has afforded us.

The use of the word “give” indicates intentionality and a determination to be thankful. We make up our minds to give God the glory that He is due. For every heartbeat, every breath, and in every moment, resolve to give thanks. God is great and greatly to be praised!

Today's Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. As you give continuous thanks to God in every circumstance, may He open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that you cannot contain!

Today's Bible Reading: 

• Old Testament - Ezekiel 10:1-11:25
• New Testament - Hebrews 6:1-20
• Psalms & Proverbs - Psalm 105:16-38, Proverbs 27:1-2

Joseph Prince (November-04-2025) Daily Devotion: JESUS’ BLOOD IS ON THE MERCY SEAT.

Leviticus 16:14 - He shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

If you have watched the movie, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, you would remember that when the lid of the ark was lifted, strange-looking creatures floated out and destroyed the people around it. Interesting as it may be, this is biblically inaccurate—the ark of the Bible did not contain strange-looking creatures. What were the things inside it then?

There were three items in the ark: the golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod and two stone tablets on which God had written the Ten Commandments (see Hebrews 9:4). These items are actually symbols of man’s rebellion. The golden pot of manna represents man’s rejection of God’s provision. The rod of Aaron represents man’s rejection of God’s leadership and the two stone tablets of God’s commandments represent man’s rejection of His standard of holiness.

But because God delights in mercy, He had these items put away in the ark and covered with the mercy seat, which had two cherubim on it (see Hebrews 9:5). And once a year, the high priest would enter the holy of holies where the ark was and sprinkle the blood of the animal sacrifice on the mercy seat. This means that God’s eyes, represented by the eyes of the cherubim, did not see the symbols of man’s rebellion. As long as the blood was there on the mercy seat, He saw only the blood and accepted the people.

Today, Jesus is our High Priest and He Himself has sprinkled His own blood on the true mercy seat in heaven—the throne of grace (see Hebrews 9:23–26). Interestingly, the number of times that the Old Testament high priest had to sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat—seven—speaks of Jesus’ perfect sacrifice. And because His sacrifice is perfect and He is perfect, we who are in Christ have perfect standing forever before God!

My friend, as you come to God today, don’t worry about falling short of His standard of holiness. He does not see your sins (see Hebrews 8:12, 10:17). He sees His Son’s blood on the mercy seat. You have perfect standing before Him forever!

John MacArthur (November-04-2025) Daily Devotional: Gaining God's Approval

"By [faith] the men of old gained approval" (Heb. 11:2).

God makes His approval known to those who trust in Him.

The book Catch-22 tells of a squadron of World War II fliers stationed on the fictitious island of Pianos in the Mediterranean. Before a flier could transfer off the island, he had to complete 25 extremely dangerous missions over southern Europe.

One flier, Yosarian, was especially anxious to leave. After completing his twenty-fifth mission, his commanding officer began raising the number of qualifying missions. Insanity became the only justification for a transfer. But the commander decided that whomever feigned insanity to obtain a transfer simply proved his sanity by that sane act!

Realizing it was all a cruel game with no way out, Yosarian devised a plan to build a raft and float to Sweden. Even though there was a whole continent between him and Sweden and the ocean currents would take him in the opposite direction, he couldn't be dissuaded. He took a leap into the absurd with a hopeless and impossible plan to escape a hopeless and impossible situation.

In their relentless quest for meaning in life, many people become spiritual Yosarians. Rejecting God, who is the only sure and rational answer to life, they jump headlong into alcohol, drugs, witchcraft, astrology, reincarnation, or countless other absurdities.

Many acknowledge God, but try to gain His approval through self-righteous deeds apart from true faith. In either case the results are the same: no faith, no salvation, no hope, no peace, and no assurance.

But those who take God at His word and approach Him in true faith receive His approval and enjoy His blessings. Theirs isn't a blind leap into the absurd, but a living hope in the God who made man and who alone can fulfill man's deepest longings. They know the joy and satisfaction of a life spent in service to Christ, and the peace and assurance that all is well—both now and for eternity.

Suggestions for Prayer: Pray for those you know who have rejected God or are trying to gain His approval on their own. Explain to them the meaning and purpose Christ alone can bring to their lives.

David Jeremiah (November-04-2025) Daily Devotional: Good Gracious: Thank Him for His Grace to Us.

From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. John 1:16, NLT

 Recommended Reading: John 1:14-16 - THE WORD BECOMES FLESH - 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’” 16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.

 
Earlier this year a motorcyclist roaring down a coastal highway in the Philippines didn’t realize the zipper of his backpack had come open. The man was making a business transfer with a large amount of cash. The bills began flying out of his backpack, covering the road and countryside. The rider wasn’t aware that over one million of his pesos were raining down like autumn leaves and being snatched up by others.

Our Lord rains down millions of blessings on His children, and it’s not an accident. He deliberately opens the vaults of heaven and sends us one blessing after another.

John 1:16 isn’t difficult to translate. It literally says, “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.” The idea is that from God’s abundance, we keep receiving grace after grace, like ocean waves that come one after another, bringing never-ceasing blessings to us.

God is good and gracious! Thank Him for His blessings that come to you, one after another, today!

[John] means that as one piece of divine grace (so to speak) recedes it is replaced by another. God’s grace to his people is continuous and is never exhausted. - Leon Morris
