Persecution may come in various forms, but let it strengthen your determination to live out your faith and share it with others. Despite any hardships, trust in God and remain dedicated to spreading your faith, serving as an inspiration for your community.

God loved us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His Son to save us. This is the central tenet of our Christian lives. Carlos Rivera reignites our Gospel passion with this beautiful truth – “He paid a debt He did not owe because I owed a debt I could not pay.”

Words hold immense power—they can build up or tear down, heal or hurt. For Christians, the emphasis on words is even greater because they reflect faith, convey love, and share the message of the Gospel. James 3:5-6 talks about the tongue being a small part of the body but capable of great impact, underscoring the responsibility that comes with speech.

Using words wisely means choosing kindness, truth, and encouragement, reflecting the love and teachings of Christ in everyday interactions. It's a call to be mindful of how words can shape, influence, and inspire others.

Fasting and praying for our nation is a powerful practice. It allows us to collectively seek guidance, healing, and blessings for our country. As we embark on this journey, let us focus our prayers on specific issues and areas that are important to us - whether it's the leaders, communities, struggles, or hopes of the nation. This is a chance to strengthen our faith and address the collective needs of our country.

“Before God shifts you to a higher level, a higher dimension in Him, there will likely be a battle. The battle causes something on the inside to get tougher, your faith to become more prominent. When you fight and win, not only do you gain ground, but you can now keep the ground.” – Carlos Rivera

Christians have a responsibility to protect and cherish the most vulnerable, including the unborn. It is not about politics, but about following the teachings of Jesus who emphasized love and compassion for all life. Defending the unborn reflects God's heart for justice and mercy and is a testament to our faith and legacy of love.

Troubles -- we've been here before. Carlos Rivera reminds us that God is always with us amid the issues and the challenges. When faith is tested, the pressure extracts the fruit of patience, and patience prepares for growth. Whatever you face, the outcome is more than survival with God on your side – increase your capacity to receive the overflow. It’s coming.
