Hope Is The Most Powerful Word

The most powerful word in the English language to me is HOPE. With hope, you can do anything and get thru anything. Without it, everything seems meaningless. The greatest thing you can do for another person is to give them hope. Today, I want you to think about the people you come in contact with each day. Those at work, school, the places you go...and take the time to share with them that because of Jesus, there is always hope. No situation is too difficult or too impossible. Because of Him, there is ALWAYS hope.

When God gave me the vision for www.liveprayer.com, it was a simple vision. A place on the internet where people can find the hope to carry on. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a live human being, anointed men and women of God on camera to look at someone and say, because of Jesus...there is hope. Don't give up. Each week, over 4,000 pornography sites are launched on the internet. This is Satan's playground. But we are here to say..God is starting to take back ground. The Lord showed me that over history, revivals have started in odd places. Azusa street in a small room, the campfires in the 1800's, always in what would seem like odd places. I'm telling you today, that God can use this internet to start revival. We have started the world's first 24/7 LIVE broadcast site on the internet...and it literally gives us access to the world. Anyone on the planet with internet access can watch the live feed from our studios in St. Petersburg, Florida and be part of this worldwide prayer meeting.

In our first month, we have had over 10,000 people a day visit our site. Over 4,000 email prayer requests are received, and we send out over 200, 000 daily devotional. God is starting a movement here on the internet that will spread into our churches and into the streets and culture as He raises up a might army to take His simple message of hope into this sin-filled world in these last days. One of the most exciting things to me has been that 30% of the people we deal with each day are in other countries. Over 30% are under the age of 20. It is time God's people got serious about telling this world that there are answers to their problems. It is not drugs, or alcohol, or illicit sex, or psychics, or mystic chants. It is Jesus!

May the Lord richly bless you today. Share with someone this day the hope you have in Jesus. It is the greatest gift you can give.
