John 5:11-12 NIV
But he replied, “The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' ” So they asked him, “Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?”
As I listened and read this scripture at about 12:40 am, the Spirit prompted me to get up and write this devotion. I can in many ways relate to this guy who was an invalid for 38 years. I am very blessed that my deliverance in Jesus’ name did not come after so many years. I was 9 years old when Jesus brought me a Bible and called me out of the bondage of Satan. Moreover, I was 14 years old when Jesus again delivered me

John 5:28-29-NIV
Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out---those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
The Gospel according to Jesus! I am always amazed by the teaching of Jesus. Do you sometimes find yourself attempting to wrestle with Jesus' teachings where you try to reason or understand why God says, allows or does certain things throughout the history of human creation? True confession, as I am in this path of reading the Bible and asking God to open my

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

Growing up, like most children, I did not like the dark. Particularly, growing up in a Caribbean culture where you hear stories about what takes place during the nighttime. I also think of the many dark places that I have been emotionally in my life. None of these experiences were pleasant at the time. Can you relate to that your dark places are not pleasant? Many of us don’t even want to talk about the dark past because it brings so much pain. As much as we hate the dark places in

John 13:5-NIV
After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
Jesus was a servant! He did not just love with words but with actions in all that he did as he walked this earth. Can you imagine, washing the feet of the person who you know is going to hand you over to a group of people to murder you? I don't know what your enemies have done to you but Jesus through his actions, demonstrated nothing is worth him losing his place at the right hand of the father. In the same way you should not allow anything to

John 14:6-NIV
I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Often time, we hear people say there are many ways to God. There are many beliefs out there about how we can have access to God’s Salvation. However, Jesus tells us that he is the only way to God. When the world tells you differently or attempt to convince you otherwise, are you steadfast on your conviction that Jesus is the only way to God? Or are we easily persuaded by the different religions or philosophy theories about how we get to God?
