“And they (demons) begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.” – Luke 8:31

These were demons “fallen angels” begging Jesus not to be sent into the abyss.

That abyss is hell.

They know it’s real.

They know it’s terrifying.

Even they don’t want to spend eternity there.

Yet some people say with pride:

“I don’t mind going to hell.”

I’ll party there with my friends.”

But do we really understand what we’re declaring?

Hell isn’t a joke.

It’s not a hangout spot.

It’s a terrifying place created for evil spirits and even they don’t want to go.

Jesus described hell as a place

“where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”

The worm is regret and anguish that never ends.

The fire is a constant reminder that you rejected the gift of salvation Jesus offered.

Hell is complete and eternal separation from the presence of God.

God is life. There’s no life in there. Only death, filled with misery, torment, and suffering.

God is light. Hell is absolute darkness.

God is love, joy, and peace. None of that exists in hell.

Hell is everything God is not.

And that’s what makes it truly terrifying.

But here’s the good news:

Jesus came to save us from that place.

In heaven, God wipes away every tear.

There is no more pain. No more sorrow.

Only life, light, love, joy, and peace Because He dwells with us.

So if demons begged not to go to hell?

Why are we acting like it’s nothing?

“But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, ‘Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.’”Luke 8:50

Jairus was no ordinary man.

He was known. Respected. A ruler of the synagogue.

But when his daughter was dying, his power, his influence, his wealth.

None of it could save her.

Because when death shows up, everything this world offers falls short.

And that’s when we come face to face with the truth:

Only God gives life.

Only God restores life.

And death has no power over Him.

He conquered death by His own death.

What we need in those moments isn’t panic or fear—

It’s faith.

Faith that God is good.

Faith that He is faithful.

Jesus reminded Jairus,

“Don’t listen to them. Don’t be afraid. Only believe.”

People may speak fear, but they hold no power.

Even death can speak, but Jesus has the final say.

And when Jairus believed, he held his daughter again— alive, filled with the glory of God.

Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.

Even hell cannot prevail against His Church.

So where is your focus today?

What voice are you listening to?

Look to Jesus.

He alone has the final say.

“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.” Genesis 2:21

This is where you see that God is an all-knowing God. He declares the end from the beginning.

That’s why the Bible says we’re predestined.

Even before Adam sinned,

God was already revealing the plan of redemption

through the way He created the woman.

Do you know that deep sleep means death?

For Adam to receive his wife,

he had to die, be opened, and bleed.

And in the same way, the Lord Jesus

had to die and bleed to receive His Bride.

Imagine this:

For a man to truly receive a wife,

he must die to himself.

That’s why Paul said,

“Husbands, love your wives.”

Because she was created for him,

taken from him—not from anything else,

but because she belongs to him.

Just like Christ loves His Bride,

He gave His life to bring her back to Himself.

A man represents Christ, for Christ is his Head.

So if you’re not willing to die,

not willing to sacrifice your life…

then you’re not ready to receive a wife,

You are not ready to be one with her again.

And you’re not ready to lead her into eternal life with Jesus.

“For this is the will of God—your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality.” —1 Thessalonians 4:3

Why is abstaining from sexual immorality part of God’s will?

First, God created us in His image and likeness.

His image is holiness, and His likeness is love—

Which means God intended us to walk in righteousness, kindness, and truth, just like Him.

Second, God created mankind with a specific purpose:

To tend the earth, to rule with authority, and to walk in fellowship with Him.

But man was never intended to live in sin.

Sanctification means being set apart.

And when we set ourselves apart for God, something powerful happens:

We begin to understand our true identity

Our character is transformed and starts to align with His

Our purpose becomes clearer and more rooted in Him

We are filled with peace a real peace not based on validation from others

We walk in boldness, no longer bound by shame or fear

And most of all, we grow closer to the heart of God

Lastly, Sexual immorality was the very ground Jesus gave for divorce, God never intended us to be separated from Him. He loves us deeply, but He hates sin because sin leads to eternal death. Hell is eternal separation from His presence.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” – Jeremiah 17:9

You have probably heard these, “Follow your heart.”

And maybe you did, But it led you into heartbreak, guilt, addiction, regret a mess you never saw coming.

That’s the difference between worldly advice and God’s truth.

Why is the heart deceitful?

Because it’s ruled by emotions and emotions change with moods, moments, and seasons.

When we let our feelings lead, we chase what feels good in the moment but it often leads to long-term pain.

“I ate too much… because it made me feel better, even though it’s hurting my health.”

“I keep drinking… because being high feels better than being broken.”

“I use drugs… because at least then, I don’t feel the pain anymore.”

“I watched porn… because it gives me pleasure, even though it’s stealing my purity.”

“He’s a married man… but I still want him, because he makes me feel special.”

“I keep shopping… because it makes me happy, even though I’m drowning in debt.”

This is what happens when we let the heart lead. Without the Word of God, the heart becomes a green light for every desire.

No brakes. No conviction. Just destruction.

The heart is desperately wicked because it constantly craves comfort, escape, and pleasure even when it’s destroying us.

 But the Word of God?

It searches the heart.

It exposes what’s hidden.

And it guards us from ourselves.

Remember: Jesus is the Word of God.

Would you let Him lead your life?

‭‭“Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,” – Isaiah‬ ‭29:13

The more I walk closely with Jesus, the more He opens my eyes…

I start to see things differently.

Some people who look like they’re close to God are actually far from Him.

They say all the right words. They sound spiritual. but they’re filled with flattery, not truth.

They know how to act like worshippers, but their hearts are not in it.

And now that God has called me to serve, I remind myself daily,

“I will not let ministry replace intimacy with Jesus. My devotion to Him must come first.”

I still need to read my Bible every day.

I still need to meet Him in the secret place.

Not just to prepare for ministry, but to keep my heart aligned with His.

Because my heart should beat for Jesus, not for a platform.

Ministry is good, but it’s not the source.

JESUS is.

If we are too busy serving that we forget to sit with Him,

If we stop praying because we are doing “God’s work”…

Then we have missed it.

Ministry should come from intimacy, not replace it.

“Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, ‘Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?’” — Mark 7:5

The religious leaders were shocked. because the disciples no longer followed the traditions.

And maybe that’s what people ask about you now

Why don’t you follow the old ways anymore?

Why don’t you read horoscopes to know your days be like?

Why don’t you rely on palm readers to predict your future?

Why don’t you believe in those superstitions that say something bad will happen if you don’t follow the “rules”?

Why you stop blaming people caused you pain?

Because your eyes have been opened.

We can clearly see the lies.

We knew now how the enemy used fear and deception to keep us bound.

But not anymore.

Because Jesus has set us free!!!

Free from the traditions of this world,

Free from the lies of the devil,

Free from the fear that once controlled us.

Our identity is clear! Our future is certain!

We’re no longer bound! We are different! We are free!

Do you feel that deep freedom?

“Then He asked him, ‘What is your name?’ And he answered, saying, ‘My name is Legion; for we are many.’” – Mark 5:9

A legion of Roman soldiers contains around 4,500 to 6,000 men.

This man was possessed by 4,500 to 6,000 evil spirits, causing torment, pain, and fear not only to himself, but to the entire community.

While Jesus was casting them out, He stopped and asked, “What is your name?”

Why? Not because He didn’t know there was a legion inside of him.

Of course Jesus knew. But He asked out loud so that the people around would witness the truth that one man was carrying a legion of demons.

Imagine that, One human body, tormented by 6,000 evil spirits and yet he survived.

That same body, once filled with destruction. Now becomes the temple of the Living God.

So if darkness can fill someone that deeply, how much more should we understand that our body is able to become a dwelling place of the Holy Spirit?

How much more can the Holy Spirit fill us with His goodness, His power, and His peace?

‘But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat;both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.’” – 2 Peter 3:10

The day of the Lord, It’s like a massive volcanic eruption.

No one knows when.

No one can stop it.

And no one can stand against it.

That day will be the most glorious and the most terrifying moment on Earth.

It will be redemption for those who believe, but condemnation for those who do not.

The heavens and all their beauty will pass away with a loud groan.

The elements of the earth will melt with intense heat.

Its success. Its beauty. Its glory. Its might.

Gone in a moment.

The world and everything in it will be destroyed.

So I ask you,

What are you doing today?

Are you prepared for this?

Are you faithful to what God has called you to do?

Do you have a real relationship with Jesus?

““Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”” – Jeremiah‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭

This is one of the most powerful verses to understand and reflect on.

God told Jeremiah, Before your parents even decided to have you, I already knew you.

What does that mean?

Jeremiah wasn’t even conceived, yet God already knew everything about him; who he was, what he would carry, and what he was created for.

Before he was born, he was already sanctified, means his already set apart. God had already made an intention to bring what He saw in Jeremiah into the world.

Then God said, “I ordained you.” He didn’t just know him. He chose him. He appointed him to be a prophet to the nations.

And Jeremiah? He was just a young boy at the time. He felt unqualified, too young to be used. But that didn’t stop God.

God wasn’t speaking to who Jeremiah thought he was. He was speaking to who He created him to be.

So what does this tell us?

You might have been born planned or unplanned. But either way—it doesn’t matter.

Before you were conceived, God already knew you.

He already set you apart. He already gave you an assignment on this earth. And like Jeremiah, you might feel too young, too weak, too unworthy.

But God already saw it all and still chose you.

The question is:

Will you walk in what God already saw in you?
