God is calling you beyond the storm, beyond the struggle, and into a supernatural walk with Him. Just as Peter stepped out onto the water, you are one word away from your breakthrough. The miracle isn’t just about surviving the storm; it’s about stepping into a new level of faith where you walk on what once held you back. Are you ready to trust Him? Step out, cry out, and watch how He brings you through to the other side!

The Battle To Keep Your Focus Where It Belongs (SCORE 2000) | Pastor Keith Hood

Life is full of distractions, but victory comes when you keep your focus on God. Just like Peter walking on water, as long as his eyes were on Jesus, he was unsinkable. But the moment he focused on the storm, he began to sink. No matter how strong the winds of compromise, fear, or temptation blow, stay focused on the One who never changes.

Holiness is more than a lifestyle—it’s a calling. The Bible teaches that even our hair is a symbol of spiritual authority and submission to God’s divine order. When we honor God’s design, we walk in His anointing, protection, and power. Our obedience is a testimony to the world and a declaration in the spirit realm. Choose to align with God’s will and experience His blessings in every area of your life!

When God's order is established, His anointing flows freely! True spiritual authority is not about control—it's about alignment. In a world that resists God's design, we must stand firm. Men, lead your families with prayer and commitment. Women, walk in the power of godly submission and intercession. Surrender to God's way, and watch His power transform your home, your ministry, and your future!

Winning souls isn’t about perfect methods—it’s about cultivating a deep relationship with God. When intimacy with Him becomes your focus, He opens doors, orchestrates divine encounters, and gives you the wisdom to reach hearts. Ask God to make you a soul winner today—He always answers that prayer!

God's Attraction to Emptiness (2006) | Bishop Wade Bass

When God fills, He first finds emptiness. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2 wasn’t just about unity—it was about hunger, about vessels emptied of self and ready to be filled with His power. Just as the widow in 2 Kings 4 gathered empty vessels to receive oil, we must empty ourselves of pride, sin, and distractions so that God can pour into us.


Scripture Ref...

Our outward appearance reflects our inward commitment to God, and hair is a powerful symbol of that distinction. These biblical principles remind us that God's design for men and women is intentional, beautiful, and unchanging. Choosing to honor Him, even in something as symbolic as hair, is a declaration of faith and obedience.

A heart on fire for God can change lives, but only when that passion is guided by wisdom and submission to His order. David’s fervor for building the temple teaches us that even when we’re not the one to complete the work, our role in preparing the way matters deeply. Misguided zeal, like Saul’s and Jehu’s, can lead to destruction, but zeal aligned with God’s purpose builds the church and draws others to His presence.

God Wants to Talk With Us (SCORE 2009) | Bishop Larry Booker


God knows us completely—our struggles, our thoughts, and even our potential. In Psalm 139, we see that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made," intricately designed with purpose. Despite our imperfections, He calls us not for what we are but for what He can make us. Even in life's chaos, He is the answer, ready to guide and transform us.

When we pray selflessly for others, God can use us to bring hope, healing, and transformation—not just for them but for ourselves as well. Just as trees provide shade and bear fruit, we are called to stretch out, grow deep in faith, and be a refuge for a thirsty world. Be a "hope dealer," a vessel of love, joy, and peace, and let the fruit of the Spirit flow through you to a dry and broken world.

True holiness begins on the inside but shines outward through a life set apart for God. It's a daily walk of surrender—choosing to align your thoughts, actions, and appearance with His will. Just as God’s Spirit empowers us to break free from sin, He calls us to live in a way that reflects His nature, both inwardly and outwardly. Holiness isn’t a checklist; it’s a relationship marked by love, separation from sin, and devotion t...

If God breathed life into the valley of dry bones in Ezekiel’s vision, He can do the same for your life. Dreams, promises, and relationships that feel dead can live again when the Spirit of God is involved. Push past the lies, step into faith, and believe for breakthroughs—healing, restoration, and revival are coming! You are part of God’s plan, and He is ready to use you to bring hope and life to others. Speak to your dry places a...

The Bible, a tapestry of divine revelation, was intricately woven in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, languages chosen by God to carry His eternal truth. Studying these original tongues isn't just academic; it’s an act of devotion. Just as Greek unified the ancient world for the gospel’s spread, so can our pursuit of understanding unify us in faith and knowledge. Let’s honor God’s providence by exploring His Word, step by step, with hum...

When the odds seem insurmountable and resources appear scarce, victory belongs to those who trust in God. Jonathan's boldness, with nothing but faith and a single sword, reminds us that the greatest triumphs come when we rely on God's power, not our own strength. The battle is the Lord's, and He equips the faithful, transforming fear into courage and scarcity into abundance. Step forward in faith, and watch God work wonders in your...

Holiness is more than an internal transformation—it’s a reflection of our love for God displayed through how we live, speak, and act. Just as faith without works is dead, inner holiness without external expression lacks completion. True devotion involves surrender, obedience, and living as a light for others to see God’s glory. Let your life reflect a beauty that comes from walking closely with Him. Pursue peace and embrace holines...

Even in the hardest moments of life, God shows He is never far away. Hearts of stone can break, and rivers of living water can flow into those who dare to surrender. Just as Moses witnessed water from the rock in the wilderness, God still works miracles today. No heart is too hard, no situation too bleak—He is reaching for you, ready to pour His Spirit into your life. Let Him break through your walls and fill you with a new heart a...

At the edge of your breakthrough, what will you do? God is calling you out of the valley of indecision and into His promises. You don’t have to remain in the wilderness of sin and wandering. His mercy is reaching for you, ready to lift you, forgive you, and fill you with His Spirit. Don’t let fear, doubt, or the voice of the flesh hold you back from the life He has for you. Choose this day whom you will serve, and step into the des...

When life feels like a personal hell, remember this: there is hope in the darkest depths when you turn to God. Jonah cried out from the belly of despair, and God heard him. The burdens, the mistakes, the turmoil—they're not the end. But don’t wait until it’s too late. Respond to the call of repentance and seek the joy and restoration that only God can provide. Today is the day to rise from the depths, to reconnect with the One who ...

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Our words shape destinies, create worlds, and reveal the evidence of God’s Spirit within us. The untamed tongue, a small but powerful force, finds redemption and purpose when surrendered to God. Through the Holy Ghost, He tames what we cannot, marking us with His presence as we speak in heavenly tongues. Today, choose to speak life—lift others, build faith, and allow God's Spirit to tr...

Life is fleeting, like a vapor that vanishes, but eternity is unchanging. We set plans and chase goals, but have we considered our eternal destination? In James 4, we're reminded to submit our plans to God's will, for only He knows the number of our days. Pursue faith, love, and steadfastness as Peter urged, making your calling and election sure. Heaven is real, and so is hell—choose today to set your eternal plan in motion. Seek H...
