John Hagee (January-08-2023) Sunday Daily Devotional: Isaiah 55:11.- So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

On Wall Street they say, “Money never sleeps.” They want it to be constantly earning money, and to do that after the market closes, they invest their money in another market in the world so that it keeps producing. They want value to be constantly added.

The same principle applies to God’s Word: It never sleeps. It is constantly working in your life. God wants to invest in you so much that He bought you with the great price of His only begotten Son’s life. He is investing His Word in you, and it’s not going to return void. It’s going to accomplish its purpose in changing your life and causing you to prosper and grow. Whatever He has said He will do in your life, He will do it and nothing can stop it. No one can void God’s promises from working in your life. That promise that He’s given you may not show up for a month or a year, but it will come to pass. The apostle Paul said it this way: “He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Be encouraged today: God’s Word is always working.

Today's Blessing: And now 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. May you walk in the divine favor of God. May everything that you put your hands to prosper and be blessed of God because you hear. Be it unto me according to Thy Word. And as the Word of God and the will of God synergize in your life, you will know joy that is unspeakable, peace that surpasses all understanding, and accomplishment beyond your wildest expectation in Jesus’ name.

John Hagee (December-25-2022) Christmas Daily Devotional: Isaiah 9:6. - For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

When we are children, Christmas Day possesses a special kind of magic all its own. As adults, we still experience that sense of awe as we consider the reason that we celebrate. Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be known as Wonderful – full of wonder – and oh, how we know it to be true.

Come, stand under a night sky with poor, work-worn shepherds as the stars are eclipsed by a multitude of angels singing God’s glory. Hurry along with them to gaze in awe at the holy Child that inspired a heavenly choir.

Come, travel with a caravan of kings in search of an even greater King. Follow a path lit by His blazing star to fall to your knees in adoration and worship. Bring out the greatest gifts – gold, frankincense, and myrrh – and know that even these are too little to honor Him.

Come, linger inside a stable filled with mellow lamplight, the snuffles of farm animals, and the cries of a newborn Child. Stretch to get a glimpse of the reverence on the faces of the young parents as they carefully swaddle this promised Babe.

Today, may your home be filled with the light and the love of that first Christmas night. May you draw near to worship and adore our King. May you reflect and rejoice in Immanuel – God come down to us. His name truly is Wonderful.

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. May you always be filled with the wonder of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May His joy, love, and peace make this day holy and happy.

Watch PRS - From Israel with Amir and Mike (Isaiah 5-7). This is a special PRS which includes a short commentary and updates in the ministry and Israel.

John Hagee (July-15-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 66:8 - Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once?

One of the most significant prophecies to be fulfilled in these last days is the birth of the nation of Israel in 1948. The questions that Isaiah asked centuries before were answered in the affirmative on that fateful day.

Pastor John Hagee, an eight-year-old boy living in East Texas, remembers sitting at the table, listening to the radio when a newscaster announced that the United Nations had decided to recognize the sovereign state of Israel. The news was met with jubilation! Across America, Jews gathered in synagogues to give thanks.

For over 2000 years, Israel only existed as a promise held fast by Jews around the world. In 1948, they streamed back to the Promised Land from the nations where they had suffered unspeakable persecution.

President Harry Truman faced intense opposition in recognizing Israel as a state, resisted by several powerful leaders in American politics. However, he remembered the Baptist teachings of his youth and the Bible passages that referred to Israel as God’s chosen people. He believed that they were entitled to that land.

The nation of Israel triumphantly emerged as a huge prophecy fulfilled – one more domino set in the intricate last-days plan. Though many generations had passed, God remembered His covenant with Abraham and Isaac.

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. His promises to you are certain and true even to a thousand generations. Place your trust in Him; He will never disappoint!

John Hagee (June-09-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 52:7 - How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

The Gospel message – the Good News about Jesus Christ – is the truth that we possess! We carry around this unspeakably precious treasure in our jars-of-clay bodies (2 Corinthians 4:7).  

Naaman, the leper, was desperate for a cure. One small voice of hope spoke into his despair. A captive slave girl shared a message that changed his world (2 Kings 5:3). She walked in and out of one verse unnamed, but the truth she possessed delivered Naaman from certain death.  

Why do we shrink from sharing the truth that we possess? We cringe at the thought of rejection. We worry that we can’t quote chapter and verse. We think someone stronger and smarter will be better for the job. But the treasure inside speaks otherwise.  

We mingle with people every day who are desperate for a cure for the sin that has ravaged their lives. They strain for a glimmer of hope. They seek a truth that will change their world and deliver them from certain death.  

Open up the treasure box! Bring the good news! Proclaim peace! Bring glad testimony of the good things that God has done for you! Proclaim His salvation! The truth that you possess is the truth that changes the world!

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. May the Holy Spirit endue you with power to be His witness to all the world, to proclaim that our God reigns!

John Hagee (June-05-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 10:27 - It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.

A “yoke” is a wooden bar that is lashed to the neck of an animal that enables it to bear heavy burdens and pull large loads. The farmer binds the yoke to the animal’s neck, so it cannot shake it off. Yokes often signify slavery and oppression.  

In today’s verse, the prophet, Isaiah, brought good news to King Hezekiah. The Assyrian king had captured Judah’s cities, demanded exorbitant tributes, and mocked the God they served. But God promised that He would lift the burden and break the yoke!  

And why would God deliver Judah? Was it for His great love? Because Hezekiah was such a deserving king? Because Judah had done all the right things in the right ways? No, the anointing oil bought their freedom!  

As His children, we are His anointed. Whatever yoke Satan has bound to your neck to lead you astray and bow you under its weight, God will lift it from your shoulders.  

He will not just remove it – He will destroy it! You will no longer have to carry that burden. It will no longer be a source of struggle that will affect you or your children. The anointing breaks the yoke to set you free!  

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. May the anointing of God lift every burden and break every yoke in your life to bring total freedom and joy!

John Hagee (May-30-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 53:4-5 - Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows … but He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

In the contents of the Communion cup, we are reminded of our three-fold healing.

Jesus died to heal us emotionally. He bore our grief and sorrow; He carried them away. His sacrifice gave us victory over bitterness, unforgiveness, fear, grief, and depression. No regret for the past nor fear of the future has the power to diminish our lives. He fills us with a peace beyond our comprehension.

Jesus died to heal us physically. He took the stripes on His back to relieve us of sickness and disease. He was wounded so we could be completely whole, bruised so we could be healed. James encourages us to pray for one another because tremendous power is released through the heartfelt prayers of the Godly believer (James 5:16).

Jesus died to heal us spiritually. God laid on Him the sins of humankind, our wrong rolled onto Him so that we could be made right with God. Though our sins were scarlet, He washed them white as snow. He nailed the record of our debts to the cross, canceling our IOU. Through Him, we are set free.

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. May the blood of Jesus wash you whiter than snow. May you be in good health even as your soul prospers. May all grief be drowned in a flood of joy. Amen and amen.

John Hagee (April-11-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 45:2 - I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron.

Prayer doesn’t need proof, it needs practice. God is as close as your next breath. He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. This means that when the dearest on earth have turned their backs on you, God sees. He knows your pain. And He wants to set things straight.

If you want to make a difference in your day, begin each morning with prayer. As soon as you start to pray, God releases His angels to meet your every need. Then get ready! Great and mighty things are about to happen!

Prayer is the weapon that God has given His children to wage war in the heavenlies. Put on the full armor of God and make it a great day. Satan is a defeated foe who has no power over you as a child of God. He cannot stop you when God is on your side. Run to the One who calmed the raging seas with three simple words: “Peace, be still.”

If you feel like you’ve hit more bumps than usual on the road of life, look to the face of God! He has promised to lead you down a path that will grant you the greatest possible success. If you need Him to make crooked places straight, call on His name, then leave the driving to Him!

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. Though you have prayed for the answer and it has not come, please know that God’s delays are not God’s denials. The answer will come. Now rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for everything your heart desires is just before you. In Jesus’ name, amen!

John Hagee (March-17-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 40:29: He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

The fact that we were born is proof that God knew that this earth needed our potential. He has ordained a special purpose for each one of us.

We all have potential! We can make no room for excuses – limited resources, lack of education, lies from the past. God will take the little bit that we offer to Him, and He will make it a whole lot!

In every seed, there is the potential of a great harvest. In every fish, there is potential for a school. In every bird, there is potential for a flock. In every man, there is potential for a nation.

Bethlehem’s manger was not a five-star hotel, but it changed the course of the world. One small stone killed Goliath and changed the destiny of Israel. Through one obedient maiden, a King was born Who has blessed the nations. Faith that is the size of one small mustard seed – as small as a BB – can move a mountain of impossibility.

God has given us the power to reach our potential. We must seize every opportunity to put the talents that He has given us to work and act upon the dreams that He has dropped into our hearts. Nothing is impossible to those that believe they can!

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. May God remove every mountain of impossibility that has restrained you. May He crush every fear to convince you that nothing is impossible for His child.

John Hagee (February-01-2022) Daily Devotional: Isaiah 55:11 - So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Do not focus on any situation until you have focused your faith first on a God Who never fails. Circumstances can sink your best intentions. Despair can demolish your hope.

Discipline yourself to exercise your faith and feast on God’s Word. Instead of thrashing about in a sea of fear and doubt, ground yourself in His truth. Lift your eyes to discover where He is at work all around you.

Every line and letter that He has spoken over you was sealed with His shed blood. With complete certainty, you can declare: “The Lord is on my side” (Psalm 118:6).

When the river rises, it will not sweep you away. When the fire rages, the flames will not scorch you (Isaiah 43:2).  When your world falls apart, even if the mountains crumble into the sea, you have no need to fear when God is your refuge (Psalm 46:1-3). He is always present in troubled times.

Focus first on God’s Word that never returns unfulfilled. His Truth always accomplishes the purposes for which He sends it and always completes the task to which He assigns it. Take Him at His Word.

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. Know that nothing is impossible for God. He is waiting for you to ask so that He may give the eternal riches of His glory. Receive His blessings through the name of Jesus!
