Devotion
We live in a time of spiritual warfare. The enemy’s greatest weapon against this generation is deception. He has blinded many to the truth, deafened ears to God’s Word, and silenced voices that should be declaring His name. He numbs hearts and minds, dulling their awareness of God’s will, even as they hear His message week after week.
But God has not spoken His last word yet! The enemy may try to display strength, but our God is Almighty. He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords, and the One who restores what is broken. He makes the deaf hear, the mute speak, and the blind see. And today, He is calling us to wake up, listen, and act according to His will.
Do not allow the enemy to claim victory over your life. You are a chosen generation, called out of darkness into His marvelous light. By the stripes of Jesus, we are healed, saved, and set free. Let the truth set you free! You belong to Him. Stand firm, for you have been called to carry His light into the world. Just like the young girl in today’s scripture, speak to the dead situations in your life and declare, "Come alive, in the name of Jesus!"
Today’s Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,Thank You for being the God who restores, heals, and brings life to what is dead. We surrender to You the areas of our lives where the enemy has sown deception and despair. Open our eyes to Your truth, unstop our ears to hear Your Word, and awaken our hearts to respond to Your call. Empower us to stand firm in Your promises and carry Your light into a dark and hurting world. In the name of Jesus, we declare life over every dead situation and freedom from every chain. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Apply It Today
Identify one area in your life where you feel defeated or hopeless. Speak life over it in Jesus’ name, declaring His power and promises. Then, take one bold step of faith to act according to His will—whether through prayer, sharing His truth with someone, or taking a practical action that aligns with God’s Word. Trust that He will move as you step out in faith.
