Impact Family, you need to listen to this testimony. This sweet woman just testified under the tent, and her testimony is the perfect reminder that your answer doesn’t always show up immediately. You have to keep pushing, keep speaking the Word OUT LOUD! DO NOT QUIT! Your answer may be right on the other side of your next prayer. 🙏

There is a difference between knowing about Jesus and allowing His light to reach every part of your heart. Throughout Scripture, light is always connected to His presence. It brings clarity where there has been confusion, exposes what has been hidden, and reveals the path forward when we cannot see it ourselves. Jesus did not come simply to give us more information. He came to bring us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. Sometimes we resist that light because it reveals things we would rather leave untouched. Yet the Lord never exposes our hearts to shame us. He shines His light so He can heal us, restore us, and lead us into greater freedom. As you spend time with this week’s devotional, invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart. Ask Him to illuminate every place where fear, discouragement, distraction, or old patterns have tried to linger. The closer we walk with Jesus, the brighter His light becomes in our lives, and that light is meant to shine through us into the world around us. THIS WEEK’S DEVOTIONAL is waiting for you inside the classroom. Take some time with the Lord, read it slowly, and allow His Word to speak personally to your heart. We’d love to hear what the Holy Spirit highlights to you as you read.

One of the encouraging things about hearing other people’s testimonies is realizing that strong relationships are not built because people never faced difficulties. They are built because people kept surrendering those difficulties to God instead of giving up. This chapter shares honestly about struggles, pressure, health battles, hard seasons, and moments where things could have easily fallen apart. But instead of walking away, they kept returning to prayer, the Word of God, and the process of allowing the Lord to reshape their lives. That part matters. Transformation usually does not happen overnight. God often works deeply over time. He trims away unhealthy things. He teaches us how to love better, communicate better, trust Him more deeply, and build differently than we did before. Many people want restoration without surrender. Healing without pruning. Growth without change. But God’s process is always purposeful. If you are walking through a difficult season right now, do not lose heart. The Lord is still able to restore, strengthen, heal, and rebuild what feels weak or broken. Nothing is impossible for Him when people remain willing to let Him work. Sometimes the strongest testimonies are built in the seasons where people chose not to quit. If you’re reading along with us, this is from Chapter 9 of Relationship Goals inside ITC.

We live in a world that never seems to slow down. Every day brings new opinions, new headlines, new voices, and new distractions competing for our attention. If we’re not careful, we can spend so much time listening to everything around us that we forget to listen for the voice that matters most. One of the great challenges of the Christian life is learning to quiet the noise long enough to hear what the Lord is saying. God has never struggled to speak, but many times we struggle to listen. We become consumed with what is urgent and lose sight of what is eternal. The book of Revelation begins with a powerful reminder that when Jesus speaks, everything else must come into proper perspective. His voice brings clarity where there is confusion. His presence brings peace where there is anxiety. His truth cuts through the uncertainty that surrounds us and anchors our hearts in what cannot be shaken. This teaching encourages us to lift our eyes above the constant noise of the world and fix our attention on Christ. When we see Him rightly, we begin to see everything else rightly as well. As you watch THIS TEACHING, ask the Lord to sharpen your spiritual hearing. There are few things more valuable than learning to recognize His voice and follow where He leads.

As one week comes to a close and another begins, it is good to remind ourselves of a truth that never changes: God is still on the throne. There will be moments this week that go exactly as planned, and there may be moments that do not. There may be unexpected challenges, difficult conversations, or situations that stretch our faith. Yet none of those things change who God is. He has not lost control. He has not been surprised by anything you will face. He is still faithful, still powerful, and still worthy of your trust. One of the reasons worship is so important is because it lifts our eyes above our circumstances and places them back on the One who reigns over all things. When we remember His victory, we find strength for our own journey. When we remember His faithfulness, our fears begin to lose their grip. As you listen to Glory’s song, YOU REIGN VICTORIOUS, allow it to become more than music in the background. Let it be a reminder that the God who has carried you this far will continue to lead you in the days ahead. No matter what this week holds, Jesus reigns victorious. And because He does, we can walk forward in faith, hope, and confidence.
