JESUS SHOWS US THE FATHER –
There are times when assessing the behavior of God the Father, in the Old Testament, can cause us to wonder what He’s really like. Is He a God of mercy or justice; violence or peace; is He present or distant? Or is He all of the above? Jesus cleared up any ambiguity when He said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father…” (John 14:9) Jesus perfectly reveals God the Father—His words, actions, and character show God’s nature. Seeing Jesus—His compassion, forgiveness, and unwavering truth—reveals the very heart of God. Every word He speaks, every act of love, mirrors the Father’s character, showing us God’s mercy, patience, and desire for relationship. To know Jesus deeply is to encounter God Himself in tangible, living ways.

WHAT WOULD YOU PAY?
What would you pay if someone you loved’s life hung in the balance? If your child were gravely ill, would you stop at nothing to save them? Would you give everything—your time, your strength, your life? On Earth, most of us would. A father fights. A mother pours out strength. A sibling, a friend, would lay down their life. Yet in the spiritual realm, we often hesitate. Why does the battle for Heaven and Hell feel less real than fleeting earthly struggles? Compared to eternity, life is a breath. Why obsess over the temporary and neglect the eternal? Christ’s blood alone can save those He loves. If their destiny rests in part on our prayers, witness, and perseverance, shouldn’t we act? Count the cost. Pray without ceasing. Love without quitting. Keep showing up. Heaven’s listening.

WHEN JESUS TAKES OVER
We all fight to stay in control as long as possible. But when the Holy Spirit comes in power, the rules we wrote collapse, and Jesus takes over. God’s outpourings rarely look like we expect. Our normal is often part of the problem, and Heaven comes to set it right. A powerful Holy Spirit presence can touch emotions, even bodies. The atmosphere becomes otherworldly, and time seems to vanish. Yet manifestations are not the essence. What remains—the fruit—is what matters, and Jesus must stay our obsession. Deep repentance transforms character. Restitution brings healing, anchored in Scripture, truth liberates us. This is the hallmark of God-breathed Revival: centered on Jesus, saving the lost, reordering priorities, and sending people to love their neighbors.

REVIVAL & REPENTANCE “SPIRITUAL TWINS”
Revival is the fruit, if repentance is the root; cut the root, and the tree withers. True revival is agonizing, because the Spirit convicts and provokes us over sin until we repent deeply. It is consuming, disrupting schedules, comforts, and demanding undivided attention. Scripture calls this repentance metanoia—a change of mind that turns the life. Peter urged, “Repent and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord” (Acts 3:19). Repentance means turning away, surrendering quickly and fully. Start in private, bring hidden sins into the light, pray for healing, make restitution, cut sinful patterns, accept correction, and invite accountability. When genuine repentance comes first, personal revival inevitably follows.
REVELATION OFTEN FOLLOWS DEVASTATION
Revelation follows devastation when we yield to Jesus instead of resisting. Isaiah learned this when King Uzziah died — prosperity made him proud, pride brought leprosy, leprosy exposed his weakness. In grief, Isaiah looked up and saw the Lord high and lifted up, seraphim crying, “Holy, holy, holy!” The temple shook. Isaiah broke. “Woe is me! …for I am unclean among unclean people.” A coal touched his lips. His guilt lifted. Sin was released. God revealed his calling. The Lord asked, “Whom shall I send?” Isaiah said, “Here am I, send me.” Devastation exposes our pride. Revelation invites repentance. Say yes to God’s refining expecting, direction and personal revival.

RESCUING OUR LOVED ONES
When love prays and refuses to quit, God can cross oceans in a moment to rescue someone we fear is lost. In 1973, my twin brother Joseph spent a year and a half in India and Nepal, immersed in Eastern religions. Back home, our sisters and brother had surrendered their lives to Jesus. Months passed without a word, and our family grew concerned. My sister Maria’s husband, George, felt holy urgency, fasting and praying for seven days. During those days, Joseph sat in a Delhi room, meditating. A cross of light appeared on his door, and God spoke to his heart, “Jesus is the way.” Soon, he yielded his life, eventually leading Forward Edge missions for forty years, bringing mercy to thousands. Prayer is God’s first bridge to the unreachable; never stop praying.
