🌙 MIDNIGHT CALL REFLECTION — BROODING WHEN YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED

There are moments in life when God opens a door, yet our hearts remain heavy. The season is right, the promise is unfolding, but instead of excitement, we brood. We replay past wounds, anticipate what might go wrong, or allow fear to sit where joy should reign. Midnight exposes this quiet conflict of the soul — when the mind dwells on yesterday’s pain instead of tomorrow’s hope. Scripture gently calls us back: “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm 118:24).

Brooding often disguises itself as wisdom, but it can be unbelief in subtle clothing. It keeps us stuck in emotional shadows while God invites us into light. When Mary was told she would carry the Savior, she asked questions — but she did not brood; she surrendered and rejoiced. When Paul sat in prison, he chose praise over despair. Excitement in God is not denial of reality; it is confidence that God is present within it. Midnight is the hour to release the weight you were never meant to carry and to make room for holy expectation.

Tonight, ask yourself: What joy have I postponed? What miracle am I overthinking? God is not only working in what you fear, but also in what should make you celebrate. Lay down the habit of brooding and receive the grace to rejoice again. Let your spirit rise where your thoughts have been heavy.

🕊️ Prayer:
Lord, forgive me for dwelling on fear where You have called me to joy. Heal my heart from past disappointments and restore my capacity to rejoice in what You are doing now. I receive Your peace and Your joy tonight. Amen.

✨ Prophetic Declaration:
I step out of brooding and into expectation. My heart will rejoice, my spirit will rise, and I will not miss the joy of this season. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
