There will always be something that needs to be done. Another responsibility. Another problem. Another notification. Another person who needs something. Martha wasn’t doing something bad when she was serving Jesus. But Mary recognized that there was something more important in that moment. She sat at His feet. Jesus said, “Mary has chosen the good portion.” (Luke 10:42) So that’s our challenge this weekend. Choose the good portion. Set aside at least 30 minutes when you would normally be doing something else and give that time completely to Jesus. Put the phone away. Turn everything else off. Open your Bible. Worship. Listen. Talk to Him. But don’t come with an agenda of everything you need. Just be with Him. And here’s the challenge within the challenge: resist the urge to rush. Stay a little longer than you normally would. There are moments at His feet we simply cannot afford to miss. Each day, come back and put DONE in the comments and what God showed you that day. 🙌

Following Jesus has always meant living differently. The world constantly tries to redefine what is acceptable, but God’s standard has never changed. Holiness isn’t about appearing religious. It’s about belonging completely to Him. Every decision we make either draws us closer to the Lord or slowly pulls our hearts in another direction. That is why small compromises matter. They rarely stay small. The beautiful part of walking with Jesus is that He never asks us to overcome sin by our own strength. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live differently as we continue surrendering every area of our lives to Him. Growth happens one decision at a time. As you continue THIS CHAPTER of Am I a Christian?, ask the Lord if there is anything you’ve allowed into your life that doesn’t belong there anymore. Let Him speak honestly to your heart, and don’t be afraid to respond. Drop it in the comments if you desire accountability. Freedom is always found on the other side of obedience.

Impact Family, you need to listen to this testimony. This sweet woman just testified under the tent, and her testimony is the perfect reminder that your answer doesn’t always show up immediately. You have to keep pushing, keep speaking the Word OUT LOUD! DO NOT QUIT! Your answer may be right on the other side of your next prayer. 🙏

Family, several people under the tent last night received their prayer language. 🙌 They have been empowered to a level they never have before. God is moving in the people here in Richmond.

This lady came into the tent last night. She is in the process of being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. However, she walked out of that tent PAIN FREE! Jesus is still good, his blood still cleanses and it still heals. Praise God!
