    Episode 1224 - Jarvis Kingston Trust in God’s deliverance and turn away from anything that hinders our relationship with Him. Flee from sin.
    Jan 16 2025
    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Genesis 19:1

    Flee from sin as if your life depends on it. Run to Jesus and don’t look back.

    Today’s daily devotional is based on the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. Lot’s escape highlights God’s mercy and the urgency of fleeing from sin without looking back. This story reminds us to trust in God’s deliverance and turn away from anything that hinders our relationship with Him.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: Sodom and Gomorrah
    Scripture
    "But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt."

    Genesis 19:26
    All the warning signs are there before you. You know that your sins will wreak havoc on your life if you don’t run from them. Are you willing to flee, or will you cling to your sin and embrace the chaos it brings?

    Genesis 19 tells a harrowing story of Lot's escape from Sodom and Gomorrah, cities notorious for their wickedness. The angels' visit to Lot and the destruction of the cities is a vivid reminder of the destructive nature of sin and the consequences of a life turned away from God.

    It's a stark portrayal of divine judgment, yet we also see a story of mercy and deliverance within it. Lot is warned and given a way of escape, highlighting that even in the wake of judgment, God's grace offers a way out for those willing to take it.

    This story isn't just an ancient account of a bad city. It serves as a personal allegory for our spiritual journey. It's about discerning and fleeing from the "Sodom and Gomorrah’s" in our lives—those habits, relationships, and situations threatening to compromise our integrity and relationship with God.

    The urgency with which Lot is told to flee is the same urgency we must have in distancing ourselves from sin. Flee and don’t turn back! If you do turn back, you risk freezing in place and remaining stagnant in your faith.
    REFLECTION
    Consider what you need to flee from in your life. What are the things holding you back from a full, unencumbered relationship with God? Reflect on the areas in your life that require immediate action. Pray for the strength and courage to not look back, as Lot's wife did, but to move forward towards God's promise and protection.

    PRAYER
    And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
    GENESIS 19:1
    My Lord, thank You for continually showing me grace when I am surrounded and tempted with the pleasures of this world. Thank You for protecting me from myself and from foolish decisions I’ve made when I wasn’t thinking in alignment with Your Word. Help me to move with critical obedience when You give a command. I will no longer hesitate when I know the direction You’re calling me to go, I will no longer look back at my past longing for the things that move me off the path of my destiny. Thank You Lord that when You close one season of my life, like Lot and his family, You will provide a safe space for me and my loved ones to dwell in. I thank You for Your protection, Your justice and Your mercy towards me. I can move in full confidence knowing that You’ve placed Your Angels like a fence around my life. I am protected because I am Yours. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.🙏🏾

    Episode 1223 - Jarvis Kingston I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. Psalms 40:1-2 Psalms 137:1 Prayer
    Jan 15 2025
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Psalm 40:1-2

    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. -Psalms 137:1

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 137
    This psalm is a poignant reflection of grief and longing. The exiles in Babylon sat by the rivers, consumed by memories of Zion—their home, their temple, their place of worship. Their sorrow was a mixture of longing for the presence of God they once felt so closely and the pain of separation from their sacred community. This verse speaks to anyone who has felt displaced or distant from God, reminding us that even in our deepest sorrow, God hears our cries. He sees our tears and invites us to trust that He is with us, even in exile. His promises remain, and His restoration is sure.

    Take a moment to sit with your grief or longing. Breathe out your sorrow, and breathe in the assurance of God’s presence. Trust that He is a God of restoration and hope, working even in the places of exile to bring you back to joy.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Praise God for being a faithful presence, even in times when you feel distant or displaced. Rejoice in His unwavering love and His ability to restore what is broken.

    CONFESSION: Confess moments when your faith wavered in seasons of grief or exile. Share your doubts and struggles with God, knowing He understands your pain.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank God for how He has comforted you in past sorrows. Acknowledge His faithfulness in every trial, and thank Him for His promises of restoration.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, in my moments of grief and longing, draw me close to You. Remind me of Your faithfulness and fill me with hope for the joy that is to come. Help me to trust in Your ability to restore what has been lost.

    PRAYER
    “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.”
    PSALM 40:1-2
    Dear Heavenly Father, You have set me on a high mountain. Your loving embrace lifts my spirit and fills me with joy and contentment. You are faithful to me and I praise Your goodness that has been evident in my life. Your promises are sure and you provide for all of my needs. Help me to not be anxious about tomorrow, but to trust in You and Your unfailing love. All of my hope and faith rests in You alone, for I know You are faithful to fulfill your promises. Give me the courage to stand firm in my faith and never waiver from trusting in Your goodness. In Jesus' name, Amen.🙏🏾

    Episode 1220 - Jarvis Kingston Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD Psalms
    Jan 12 2025
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Job 1:20

    [[A Song of degrees.]] Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. -Psalms 134:1

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 134
    Tonight’s psalm is an invitation to bless the Lord, especially in moments of stillness and quiet.

    PRAYER
    “Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
    JOB 1:20
    Dear Lord, You are the Almighty God! Nothing is too hard for You. You remain sovereign and faithful in all circumstances, no matter how bleak. In the midst of Job's suffering and loss, he remained devoted to You even though he was overwhelmed by grief and turmoil. Lord, we thank You for Your infinite wisdom and strength that can carry us through any trial. You are sovereign and ever-faithful, even when our faith falters. Help us to trust in You and remain devoted, no matter the circumstances. May we always hold fast to Your promises, even when the path is hard. We wait upon You with expectation and awe, for You alone are our Rock and our Salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.🙏🏾

  • Episode 1219 - Jarvis Kingston Dear Heavenly Father when the season comes, help me to make the choice to separate and move on when a transit

    Episode 1219 - Jarvis Kingston Dear Heavenly Father when the season comes, help me to make the choice to separate and move on when a transit
    Jan 11 2025
    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Genesis 15:1

    Your decisions reveal your true priorities.

    STORY
    Bible in a Year: Abram and Lot Separate
    Scripture
    After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: 'Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.

    Genesis 15:1
    Our choices often reveal our hearts. This was certainly the case for Abram’s nephew, Lot. Lot was allowed to pick whatever part of the promised land he wanted to settle in. He chose to settle in a nice little plot of land conveniently located near Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot wanted his house to be built in the Kingdom of God, but he wanted a back gate that led to the world.

    Lot’s choice and his subsequent calamity is not merely a story about land; it's about life's choices and the motives behind them. Lot's decision, driven by a secret desire to sin and superficial pleasure, is a cautionary tale. It prompts us to consider our own decisions and what drives them. Are we like Lot, choosing paths based on immediate appeal, convenience, or selfish ambition? Or do we, like Abram, entrust our decisions to God, seeking His guidance and wisdom?

    Lot's choice reflects a broader human inclination to prioritize the material, carnal, and immediate, often neglecting the spiritual and eternal ramifications. It also speaks to the double life many of us lead, with one foot in God’s Kingdom and another in the world.
    REFLECTION
    Have you been building your life centered around God, but continue to leave a backdoor open for sin? As long as that door is open, you’re vulnerable. Let this be your challenge to shut down those backdoors to the world, past sins, and toxic relationships that seek to drag you away from God.

    PRAYER
    After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
    GENESIS 15:1
    Dear Heavenly Father when the season comes, help me to make the choice to separate and move on when a relationship must transition and come to an end. When I must choose a new location to move to, I will not only look at the outward appearance but will look intently at the new land and opportunity to make sure Your Spirit and presence are there. As I continue to move in sync with Your commands, I thank You that You will continue to bless me and send words of encouragement through various people, like Abram. I declare that multiplication is in my future, I declare that you will not depart from me nor leave my side until You’ve accomplished Your covenant and promises through me. Thank You Lord that You are for me like You were for Abram in the book of Genesis! In Jesus’ Name, Amen. 🙏🏾 🙏🏾 🙏🏾

    Episode 1218 - Jarvis Kingston Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: -James 1:19 LAX
    Jan 10 2025
    Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 James 1:19

    The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. -Psalms 132:11

    DEVOTION
    Based on Psalm 132
    Tonight’s psalm highlights the faithfulness of God to keep His promises. God’s covenant with David was not only a promise for his time but a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the eternal King from David’s lineage. This verse reminds us that God’s promises are sure and unchanging, offering us hope and security in His plans for our lives.

    Take a moment to meditate on God’s faithfulness. Breathe out doubt and uncertainty, and breathe in the assurance of His truth. Trust that the same God who kept His promise to David is faithful to fulfill His promises to you.
    A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
    ADORATION: Praise God for His unchanging truth and faithfulness. Rejoice in the beauty of His covenant-keeping nature and His steadfast commitment to His Word. Celebrate His sovereignty as the eternal King who reigns with justice and love.

    CONFESSION: Reflect on moments when you’ve struggled to trust God’s promises. Confess those doubts and ask for a heart that rests fully in His truth and faithfulness.

    THANKSGIVING: Thank God for the promises He has fulfilled throughout your life and history. Express gratitude for His faithfulness to David and the gift of Jesus, the eternal King who reigns forever.

    SUPPLICATION: Father, I thank You for Your promises that never fail. Help me to trust in Your faithfulness, even when I cannot see the full picture. Strengthen my faith in Your plans and guide me to rest in the assurance of Your truth. Let Your faithfulness bring peace to my heart tonight and hope for the future.

    PRAYER
    “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”
    JAMES 1:19
    Dear Heavenly Father, You are the keeper of wisdom, and no word You speak is ever wasted. You are intentional with Your words, attentive to our prayers, and patient with Your actions. I pray You would make me more like You. Reign in my tongue and keep me from saying things I will regret. Please give me an attentive ear to truly listen to those around me. And hold me back from acting out of anger. I trust that through the guidance of Your word, power of Your spirit, and comfort of Your love, I can truly heal my relationships. In Jesus’ name, Amen.🙏🏾

    Episode 1217 - Jarvis Kingston God doesn’t call the great; He makes them great. Trust His promise, step out in faith, and embrace the change
    Jan 9 2025
    Your Daily Prayer 🙏🏾 Genesis 12:3

    Greatness isn’t about where you start but where faith takes you.

    Reflect on Abram’s journey: God doesn’t call the great; He makes them great. Trust His promise, step out in faith, and embrace the transformation ahead.
    STORY
    Bible in a Year: Abram and Sarai
    Scripture
    I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

    Genesis 12:3
    What does it mean to be great? And how does one become great? God told Abram to leave the comforts and familiarity of his home, and He would make him “great.” We know very little about Abram before God called him on this adventure. We know very little about his background, personality, or previous accomplishments. That’s on purpose. God did not choose Abram because he WAS great. God chose Abram and promised to MAKE him great.

    Jesus gave a similar call to His disciples. He said, “Follow me, and I will MAKE you fishers of men.”

    It doesn’t matter who you were when God called you. He is far more concerned with who you will become once you follow Him.

    Abram said yes to God’s invitation to embark on a grand adventure. Following God would lead to terrors and triumphs beyond Abram’s wildest dreams. But faith and struggle are necessary in pursuit of greatness. Like Abram, we are called to be pilgrims and pioneers, stepping out in faith, even when the destination is unclear. His story is a testament to trusting God's promises and looking forward to fulfilling His purposes. It is about leaving behind the old and embracing the new, setting out on a journey that transforms us and, through us, the world.
    REFLECTION
    Consider what "Harans" you might be clinging to—the familiar things or places you are being called to leave in order to step into a deeper relationship with God. Ask yourself: “Am I missing out on great things in life because I am too content with the good things in life?”

    Share God’s story with the world 🗺️ 🌎 🌍 🌎

    PRAYER
    And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
    GENESIS 12:3
    As the seasons of uncertainty and adventure begin… like Abram, give me the courage to move without hesitation. Give me the ability to see life through Your eyes so that the journey to my destiny doesn’t overwhelm me causing me to hesitate and miss what You have for me Lord. From this moment on I declare that I will move in faith and power as I take steps in the direction of my promised land, decreeing that everything my feet touch has already been established and given to me. I will not use manipulation and lies to try to protect myself or the ones I love but rather through honesty and trust in the Lord I know that everything will work out for my good. Thank You Jesus that even though, like Abram, I Try to take things into my own hands, Your grace and love is enough to redirect my steps and set me on the right path. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.🙏🏾
