Putting your confidence in Christ means embracing the assurance that His strength and faithfulness are the foundation of our identity and purpose. In a world that often measures worth by accomplishments and appearances, confidence rooted in Christ offers a profound sense of security and peace.

The Bible instructs us to be “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger” (James 1:19-20). Carlos Rivera advises us to screen our thoughts before they become words—“if youspeak when you're angry, you'll make the best speech that you will ever regret.”

To declare God's truth with conviction, we must first possess a deep understanding of that truth; without knowledge, our declarations lose their power and authenticity. Understanding God's word allows us to confidently proclaim His promises and purposes in our lives. Speaking God's will in our lives and into the lives of others is both an act of faith and a proclamation of the life-giving power inherent in His Word, emphasizing that true transformation begins with understanding and knowing Him deeply.

Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” By surrendering our desires to God's will, we commit to pursuing a life infused with purpose and faith.

When you sow God's Word spoken by God into your own mind, you are sowing all you need to strengthen and sustain your mind, body, and soul. Sow life! Sow light! Sow hope!

Prayer changes everything; it changes situations, and it transforms our spirits. Get ready to pop your prayer into Turbo-Drive with host, Carlos Rivera – “Fasting is an act that shows you are hungrier for God than for food.” If you need a move from God so badly that you are willing to deny yourself, get ready for your breakthrough miracle!

Carlos Rivera has encouraging news: “God's better days are ahead of you. Go forward, believe God for greater things. The Lord is going to do awesome stuff in our lives!”

No matter what the situation, our goal is to remain spiritually grounded and sensitive to the Holy Spirit while reflecting Christ-like qualities in our responses. Pastor Carlos Rivera reminds us to

• Pray for Wisdom,
• Listen to the Holy Spirit,
• Turn to Scripture,
• Seek Wise Counsel, and
• Be Mindful of the behavior, tone, and intentions of others.
