Florida Campus Becomes Hub of Worship and Prayer

What began as a campus conference evolved into a powerful move of the Holy Spirit, drawing students and visitors from across the nation hungry for God's presence and transformation."

THINK.
- Revival is not just a story from history; it's happening now! When a generation boldly confesses sin, seeks Jesus with undivided hearts, and surrenders to His call, the power of God moves in extraordinary ways. Are we ready to clear our schedules and make space for His Spirit?
- Each revival, like this one, sparks a spiritual awareness in local areas, which eventually serves the next Great Awakening in America. The Church must be praying for this and other campuses for the youth.
- What God is doing at Southeastern is an invitation to the whole Body of Christ: will we steward the move of God in our own homes, churches, and communities? Revival begins with repentance and hunger; it continues through obedience and bold witness.
PRAY.
Lord, pour out Your Spirit on campuses and communities across America. Raise up a generation unashamed of the Gospel, on fire to worship You in spirit and truth. Protect and ignite every student, leader, and family hungry for Your presence.
ACT.
Share the testimonies of revival in your church and home. Host a prayer night or worship gathering, inviting God to move without an agenda. Support student ministries with encouragement, resources, and prayer, believing for awakening in your own city.
RFK Jr. Pushes Vaccine Reform, Prioritizes Parental Choice
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as Health and Human Services Secretary under President Trump, is spearheading a bold overhaul of the nation’s vaccine policies, returning the power of health decisions to parents and prioritizing transparency over mandates. With dramatic reductions to the childhood vaccine schedule and new policies sweeping away government pressure, a new era of informed consent and parental rights is rising."

THINK.
- This groundbreaking policy shift is fostering a renewed trust in the democratic process by prioritizing individual rights and empowering parental voices in critical health decisions. By eliminating coercive measures and emphasizing transparency, it strengthens the core principles of freedom and accountability, encouraging more robust civic engagement and public confidence in government policies.
- When unelected experts push policies for profit or politics, it is the duty of believers to demand accountability and champion policies rooted in truth, evidence, and the dignity of every child. Do we trust the state to dictate what goes into our children’s bodies, or will we rise to protect our God-given responsibility?
- This battle is not merely a political struggle; it is a profound spiritual fight for truth, morality, and the sacred responsibility entrusted to us. At its core, it calls believers to discernment, courage, and unwavering faith, reminding us that the defense of what is right transcends earthly systems and taps into divine principles that guide our purpose and actions.
PRAY.
Lord, grant wisdom, courage, and discernment to parents, physicians, and legislators standing for truth in healthcare. Let Your Spirit guide every decision affecting children’s bodies and futures. Protect families from coercion and restore public trust through truth and transparency.
ACT.
Contact lawmakers to support legislation enshrining parental choice and vaccine exemptions. Spread accurate information about new vaccine policies in your church, schools, and online. Rally community prayer for current and future battles over health freedom in your state.
Trump Rolls Back Obama-Era Climate Policy
"President Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin have repealed the Obama-era endangerment finding, which was the bedrock of federal greenhouse gas regulation. Touting it as the largest deregulatory action in American history, this move promises major cost savings, restored consumer choice, and a new direction for American energy policy as the administration champions economic stewardship over regulatory control." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- Leaders are called to steward the environment, but not at the expense of prosperity and freedom. Economic policies that are based on false data and unproven science should not drive our nation's economic policies.
- Rolling back excessive regulations opens doors for innovation, job creation, and American energy independence. Yet, it requires believers to speak up for smart stewardship, protecting creation while safeguarding livelihoods.
- This historic pivot demands that we, as citizens, hold leaders accountable for wise policies that honor both people and planet. Standing on biblical principles, we must ensure environmental care does not become an idol above freedom or faithfulness.
PRAY.
Father, give wisdom to those crafting environmental policy. Grant boldness to challenge destructive rules and equip leaders to balance stewardship with freedom. Let our nation prosper as we care for creation without falling for deception or fear.
ACT.
Encourage lawmakers to pursue policies that foster innovation, lower costs, and steward God’s creation wisely. Host community forums to discuss the balance between environmental care and thriving families. Pray and engage for the sake of both our land and our liberty.
Bondi Clashes with Democrats Over Epstein Files
"Attorney General Pam Bondi faced fierce questioning from Democrats on Capitol Hill over the Justice Department’s mishandling of Jeffrey Epstein’s files. The hearing exploded into partisan fireworks as Bondi defended the administration’s actions, admitted redaction errors, and stood her ground against accusations of protecting the powerful. At the center of it all: the battle for truth, justice for victims, and transparency in a case that has haunted our nation.” Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- The controversy surrounding these files serves as a stark reminder that trust is a fragile construct, easily fractured by power and circumstance. Even those we consider principled, whether in government, law enforcement, or the judiciary, are not immune to the pull of mistakes, misjudgments, or self-interest. History has shown us time and time again that the line between good intentions and harmful actions is perilously thin, and in this case, the stakes couldn't be higher. It forces us to confront a deeper truth: systems are only as strong as the individuals within them, and even the best people can falter under pressure or in pursuit of greater agendas.
- The careless release of sensitive files wounded victims again and eroded public trust. In a nation longing for real accountability, believers must reject apathy and demand higher standards from those entrusted with power. The call is clear: evil flourishes when good people remain silent.
- As Christians, we know true justice is rooted in righteousness, not PR battles. The church must be a voice for the voiceless, calling for genuine investigation and protection for the innocent, no matter how great the resistance.
PRAY.
Righteous Judge, expose every lie and bring every hidden deed into the light. Heal those harmed by the Epstein case, give courage to prosecutors and lawmakers, and turn the hearts of leaders to true justice. Let Your truth reign in America’s halls of power.
ACT.
Raise awareness of the ongoing fight for justice in the Epstein case within your community. Pray for and encourage public officials to pursue transparency and accountability, even when it’s uncomfortable. Support organizations that defend and care for trafficking victims, refusing to look away while darkness persists.
