“No Other gods Before Me — A Quiet Warning We Often Miss” 📖 “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” — Exodus 20:3 Did you know that anything can become a “god” in your life? Sometimes it’s intentional. Other times, it happens quietly… subtly… almost unnoticed. But the outcome is the same—you begin to place more importance on that thing than on your relationship with God. Many will shake their heads and say, “That’s absurd.” But facts are facts. How many parents will defend their children tooth and nail when they are wronged—yet remain silent when the Lord’s name is taken in vain? You may say, “That’s different.” But how? Others will place their faith and future in the hands of people—a doctor, banker, lawyer, teacher, boss, or even a spouse—but seldom take time to truly pray about it. It may seem small… even harmless. But when you begin to lean away from depending on the Lord in everything, you may soon find yourself not depending on Him for anything. “Not me,” you say. Those same words echo through history—spoken once by a man named Peter, who was certain of his devotion… until he wasn’t. The truth is, anything that replaces God at the center of your trust, your time, or your devotion has quietly taken His place. And the danger is not always loud—it’s often silent. 👉 Visit: pomitaly.homestead.com Closing Thought: What we prioritize reveals what we truly worship.

Good Morning — A New Day, A Fresh Grace As we begin this Sunday, April 12, 2026, remember this simple but powerful truth: Today is not just another day—it is a gift. A fresh opportunity to walk closer with God, to realign your heart, and to step into His purpose for your life. Yesterday is behind you. The mistakes, the worries, the unanswered questions—they do not define this day. God’s mercies are new this morning. No matter what you face today, you do not face it alone. The same God who carried you yesterday is already ahead of you today. So take a moment… breathe… and place this day into His hands. 🙏 Let’s Pray: Heavenly Father, We come before You with grateful hearts for the gift of this new day. Thank You for life, for breath, and for another opportunity to draw closer to You. Lord, guide our steps today. Guard our hearts and minds. Give us wisdom in every decision, peace in every situation, and strength for every challenge. Help us to walk in love, to speak with grace, and to reflect Your light in everything we do. When we feel weak, remind us that You are our strength. When we feel uncertain, remind us that You are our guide. Bless every person reading this today. Meet them right where they are. Provide for their needs, heal what is broken, and restore what has been lost. And above all, Lord, keep us mindful of You in every moment. We give this day to You—fully and completely. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 👉 pomitaly.homestead.com Closing Thought: Walk into this day with faith, not fear—God is already there waiting for you. @YouVersion @BibleGateway @ChristianityToday @TBN @KLOVE @Air1Radio @FocusOnTheFamily @FaithLife @ChristianPost @Guideposts @LifeChurch @ElevationChurch @StevenFurtick @Franklin_Graham #GoodMorning #SundayBlessings #NewDay #FaithOverFear #TrustGod #Prayer #DailyPrayer #ChristianLiving #Encouragement #HopeInGod #JesusChrist #WalkByFaith #GodIsGood #BlessedSunday #MorningDevotion #FaithJourney #SeekGod #SpiritualGrowth #GodFirst

@deeslifex In life or in death, the little things do matter

My husband passed away from a heart attack two years ago. Last month, I finally cleaned out his closet. In the pocket of his old jacket, I found a crumpled grocery list in his handwriting: “milk, bread, strawberries for Emily.” That was me. I cried for an hour, just holding that piece of paper.

@payattentionist @IIIDeaton Well glory!

Update and Praise report : My husband was put on a ventilator yesterday for a few days to help open up his airways. The night before ( after 23 years of praying for him ) he accepted Jesus as his Savior 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I am eternally grateful grateful to each of you for praying for him

📚 When the World Makes No Sense—Truth Still Stands ㅤ In a fast-moving, often confusing world, it’s rare to find something grounded, clear, and real.

What Are You Doing With the “Junk” in Your Life? Have you ever paused long enough to take an honest, unbiased look at your life? Not the version you show others. Not the version you convince yourself is “good enough.” But the real, unfiltered truth. If you have, what did you do with what you found? Did you hide it? Sweep it under the rug? Pretend it didn’t exist—or didn’t matter? Or worse… did you do nothing at all? Here’s the truth many don’t want to face: bad stuff doesn’t just die—it hides. It hides in our thoughts, our habits, our relationships, and our decisions. It quietly weighs us down, holding us back from the life God intended for us to live. And yet, so many keep carrying what God never asked them to carry. Isn’t it time to deal with what’s pulling you down instead of lifting you up? But how? Not by willpower alone. Not by ignoring it. Not by pretending everything is fine. There’s only one way that truly works. As the old song says: “Turn it over to Jesus, and He’ll work it out.” What you can’t fix, He can. What you can’t carry, He will. What you can’t change, He can transform. Help is not far away. It’s not complicated. It’s only a prayer away. Today can be the day you stop hiding—and start healing. We love you at Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International, and we are praying for you. 🌐 pomitaly.homestead.com If this post has spoken to you, please share it with someone who may need it. @joybells49 @YouVersion @BibleGateway @ChristianityToday @TBN @KLOVE @Air1Radio @FocusOnTheFamily @FaithLife @ChristianPost @Guideposts @TheHopeLine #Faith #Healing #LetGoAndLetGod #TurnItOverToJesus #PrayerWorks #JesusSaves #FreedomInChrist #SpiritualGrowth #HopeInChrist #ChristianLiving #Encouragement #FaithOverFear #ReadersDigest

When the Noise Gets Loud, Listen for the Whisper of God We are living in a time where noise is everywhere—news, opinions, arguments, and constant distractions. Everyone has something to say, and all of it is competing for your attention. But in the middle of all that noise, God is still speaking. The issue isn’t that God is silent—it’s that the world is loud. Scripture reminds us in 1 Kings 19:12 that God spoke in a still small voice. He wasn’t in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire—but in the quiet whisper. That hasn’t changed. Today, many are overwhelmed not because they lack direction, but because they are surrounded by too many voices. Truth is often replaced with opinion, faith with fear, and conviction with comfort. But God’s voice still brings clarity. When you step away from the noise—even for a moment—you begin to notice something powerful. Your spirit settles. Your thoughts become clearer. And what once felt confusing starts to make sense. God does not lead in confusion. He leads in peace, purpose, and direction. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, try this: • Turn down the noise • Spend time in prayer • Open His Word • Sit quietly before Him You may discover that what you’ve been searching for has been there all along. The world is shouting. But God is still whispering. And His whisper carries more truth than all the noise combined. At Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International, we are committed to helping people reconnect with that voice—through the Word, prayer, and active ministry here in the U.S. and the Philippines. 🌐 pomitaly.homestead.com 📚 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com 📰 joybells49.blogspot.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share it with others. @YouVersion @BibleGateway @ChristianityToday @TBN @KLOVE @Air1Radio @FocusOnTheFamily @FaithLife @ChristianPost @Guideposts #Faith #HearGod #StillSmallVoice #PrayerLife #TrustGod #JesusSaves #FaithOverFear #DailyBlog #ChristianLiving #HopeInChrist #DailyDevotion

📌 Question of the Week — April 11, 2026 ㅤ From: Arash, 17 — Los Angeles, California ㅤ Question: “I came to the U.S. from Iran in 2017. A friend gave me a Bible, and I’ve been reading it secretly. I see passages about Heaven and Hell, and I don’t want to be lost. I read I can be ‘born again’ by asking Jesus into my heart. Can you explain how I can receive Him?” ㅤ Response: Arash, thank you for your courage—and for trusting me with such an important question. You are not alone. Many are searching, just like you. Salvation is simple, but powerful. You don’t have to fix yourself first or become “religious.” You come just as you are and place your faith in Jesus Christ. He died for your sins and rose again so you could be forgiven, restored, and made new. Being “born again” means your life begins again—this time with God. It’s not just about escaping hell, but about receiving new life, peace, purpose, and a real relationship with Him. If you’re ready, pray this from your heart: “Dear God, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I ask You to forgive my sins. I receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I believe I am saved. Thank You for loving me. Amen.” If you meant that, welcome to the family of God. Your journey has just begun—and it will change your life. We would love to hear from you and help you grow. We’ll even send you a copy of our book, 'Your First Steps in Walking with God.' Congratulations, you’ve found more than answers… you’ve found the Lord. ❤️ ㅤ 🌍 pomitaly.homestead.com 📚 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com ㅤ @joybells49 @YouVersion @BibleGateway @FocusOnTheFamily @KLOVE @Air1Radio @TBN @ChristianityToday @Faithlife @TheChristianPost @TheHopeLine @YWAM @CruGlobal ㅤ #QuestionOfTheWeek #BornAgain #HowToBeSaved #JesusSaves #FaithJourney #GenZFaith #ChristianYouth #HopeInJesus #NewLifeInChrist #YouAreNotAlone #AskPastor #FaithAndTruth

🌿 Seeking God’s Favor Through Faithfulness — Words of Encouragement 🌿 ㅤ 📖 “Remember me, O my God… and wipe not out my good deeds…” — Nehemiah 13:14 ㅤ Nehemiah’s prayer is both simple and powerful. After faithfully serving, leading, and restoring what was broken, he turns to God—not for applause from people, but for acknowledgment from Heaven. He reminds us of a truth we often forget: God sees everything. In a world that often overlooks quiet obedience and unseen sacrifice, it’s easy to feel discouraged. You may serve, give, pray, and stand firm—yet feel unnoticed. But Nehemiah teaches us that faithfulness is never wasted. God does not measure as man measures. He looks at the heart. Our service to God is not about recognition—it’s about devotion. It’s about doing what is right when it’s hard, staying committed when it’s uncomfortable, and honoring God when no one else is watching. And here’s the encouragement: God remembers. Every act of obedience. Every sacrifice. Every moment you chose Him over convenience. In His perfect timing, He honors faithfulness. So don’t grow weary. Keep building. Keep serving. Keep trusting. What you do for God will never be erased—it is recorded in eternity. ㅤ 🙏 Prayer: Lord, help me remain faithful in all You’ve called me to do. Strengthen my heart when I feel unseen and remind me that You see and remember all. Let my life bring You glory. Amen. ㅤ 📘 Get your copy today: vist.ly/4ukyy 🌍 pomitaly.homestead.com 📚 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com ㅤ Be encouraged: God sees you. God remembers you.

🚨 URGENT: A Life Can Change Today—Maybe Even Be Saved Every day in the Philippines, an average of 2,015 people lose their lives—many from illnesses that are treatable… if only they had access to basic medicine. Behind every number is a name. A mother holding her child, praying for relief. A father unable to afford a simple prescription. A grandparent quietly suffering, hoping someone will care. This is where Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International steps in. Led by retired U.S. Navy veteran and pastor James Langston, our ministry is on the ground—serving the whole person: mind, body, and soul. We don’t just preach hope—we deliver it through action. Whether it’s providing medicine, supporting families, or sharing the Gospel, every outreach is an opportunity to save a life, change a heart, and restore a home. But the need is urgent. And the window to act is now. Your gift—no matter the size—can mean: ✔️ Medicine for the sick ✔️ Food for the hungry ✔️ Prayer and spiritual care for the broken ✔️ Hope where there was none We cannot reach everyone—but together, we can reach someone. And for that one person, it means everything. 🙏 Please don’t wait. Lives are hanging in the balance. 👉 Give today: vist.ly/4y3t2 If you’ve ever wondered whether your generosity could truly make a difference—this is that moment. Be the reason someone lives.

5. ⏳ Time Is Moving Faster Than We Think There is something different about this hour—an urgency, a shifting, a sense that time is not as abundant as we once believed. We plan as if we have decades, but live as if tomorrow is guaranteed. 📖 “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow…” (James 4:14) What are we doing with the time we’ve been given? Are we chasing things that will fade, or investing in what will last? Are we building temporary success, or eternal purpose? Every day is a gift. Every moment is an opportunity. And every decision carries weight. Don’t wait for the “right time.” The right time is now. 🔗 pomitaly.homestead.com 🔗 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share with others. @YouVersion @BibleGateway @TBN @CBNNews @ChristianityToday @Guideposts @FaithLife #Time #Purpose #Faith #Life #Eternity #WakeUp #NowIsTheTime #Jesus #Hope #Calling #SpiritualGrowth #Truth

4. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Family Under Pressure The family—the foundation of society—is under tremendous pressure today. Redefined, reshaped, and often disregarded, yet still essential. 📖 “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15) Strong families don’t happen by accident. They are built through sacrifice, commitment, forgiveness, and faith. The world will tell you family is optional. God says it is foundational. Invest in your home. Speak life over your children. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Pray together. Because when families are strong, communities are strong. And when communities are strong, nations stand. 🔗 pomitaly.homestead.com 🔗 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share with others. @FocusOnTheFamily @FamilyLifeToday @Parenting @LifeChurch @YouVersion @ChristianityToday #Family #Marriage #Parenting #Faith #Home #Love #Children #GodFirst #Legacy #StrongFamilies #BiblicalMarriage #Hope

📰 Can We Trust the News Media Today? Can we trust the news media to be accurate, factual, and unbiased? That’s a question many are asking—and for good reason. We live in an age of 24/7 news cycles, breaking alerts, and endless opinions. Yet, with all this access, clarity often feels harder to find. Studies and surveys have shown declining trust in media across the political spectrum, with many believing coverage is influenced by ideology, corporate interests, or selective reporting. Even respected journalists have acknowledged this tension. Veteran broadcaster Dan Rather once said, “If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're misinformed.” While perhaps overstated, it reflects a growing concern: information can be shaped as much by what is omitted as by what is included. The issue is not that all media is false—but that all media is filtered. Perspective matters. Framing matters. And bias, whether intentional or not, can influence what we see and how we understand it. 📖 “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thessalonians 5:21) As believers and responsible citizens, we must be discerning. Verify sources. Seek multiple perspectives. Test what you hear against truth—not just opinion. And most importantly, anchor your understanding in God’s Word, which does not change with trends or headlines. The goal is not to reject information—but to pursue truth with wisdom. 🔗 pomitaly.homestead.com 🔗 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share with others. @CBNNews @FoxNews @CNN @BBCWorld @Reuters @AP @NPR @WSJ @NYTimes @ChristianPost @YouVersion @BibleGateway #News #Media #Truth #Discernment #Faith #Wisdom #CriticalThinking #Journalism #Integrity #StayInformed #Christian #GodFirst #Culture

⚖️ Justice, Truth, and Accountability Every day we hear the word “justice,” but what does it really mean? Justice without truth is manipulation. Truth without accountability is meaningless. And accountability without integrity is selective. 📖 “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly…” (Micah 6:8) We cannot build a strong nation on shifting standards. Truth must remain truth—regardless of opinion, pressure, or popularity. Justice must not be political. Truth must not be optional. And accountability must not be selective. As individuals, we must stand for what is right—even when it is unpopular. Because in the end, truth does not change—it reveals. 🔗 pomitaly.homestead.com 🔗 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share with others. @CBNNews @FoxNews @CNN @BBCWorld @Reuters @AP @NPR @WSJ @NYTimes @ChristianPost #Justice #Truth #Integrity #Accountability #Faith #Leadership #Nation #Culture #StandFirm #BiblicalTruth #Values #Morality

💔 The Silent Struggle No One Sees Behind the smiles, the posts, and the daily routines, there is a quiet battle many are fighting—fear, anxiety, loneliness, and uncertainty. People are tired… not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. 📖 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28) We live in a world full of noise, yet so many feel unheard. Surrounded by people, yet deeply alone. Connected digitally, yet disconnected personally. But there is hope. God sees what others miss. He hears what is never spoken. And He understands what words cannot express. If you are struggling today, you are not forgotten. You are not invisible. And you are not alone. Reach out. Pray. Speak. Believe. 🔗 pomitaly.homestead.com 🔗 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share with others. @YouVersion @BibleGateway @FocusOnTheFamily @TheHopeLine @Guideposts @JoyceMeyer @RickWarren @LifeChurch @SamaritansPurse #MentalHealth #Hope #Faith #Encouragement #YouAreNotAlone #Healing #Prayer #Jesus #Strength #Peace #Anxiety #Depression #GodCares

🇺🇸 When a Nation Loses Its Way There is a growing uneasiness in the heart of our nation. You can feel it in conversations, see it in headlines, and sense it in the silence of those who no longer know what to believe. Truth has become subjective, morality negotiable, and conviction often replaced by convenience. But a nation does not drift overnight—it drifts one compromise at a time. 📖 “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34) The real question is not, “What is happening to our country?” but “What is happening to us?” A nation reflects the condition of its people. If we want change in our streets, we must first seek change in our hearts. This is not a political problem—it is a spiritual one. Now is the time to return to truth, to prayer, and to the God who has never abandoned us—even when we have drifted far from Him. 🔗 pomitaly.homestead.com 🔗 thewilltosucceed.homestead.com If this post has been of interest to you, please share with others. @YouVersion @BibleGateway @ChristianityToday @TBN @CBNNews @FoxNews @CNN @MSNBC @Newsmax @BBCWorld @SkyNews #Faith #America #Truth #Prayer #Revival #Hope #Jesus #Christian #WakeUp #Nation #SpiritualAwakening #GodFirst #Leadership #Culture #News #USA
