- Moving Forward After Deception
"And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me." — Genesis 31:7
Jacob did not minimize what happened. He acknowledged the painful reality of deception. It was not a single misunderstanding or isolated disappointment. His wages were changed ten times—a repeated pattern of broken trust, uncertainty, and injustice.
Deception carries weight. It can consume years, alter plans, strain relationships, and leave deep emotional and spiritual wounds. It often raises difficult questions:
How did I not see it?
Could I have done something differently?
Scripture does not pretend these experiences are light or insignificant.
Yet Jacob's testimony does not end with "ten times." It ends with "but God."
"...but God suffered him not to hurt me."
This is the heart of someone who has been previously deceived yet continues to praise the Lord. Such a person does not become defined by the untoward experience, nor remain imprisoned by bitterness or regret. Instead, he recognizes that God's sovereign hand was present even during the season of deception.
The scars may remain, and the lessons may be costly, but God's preserving grace proves greater than the deception itself. What others intended for harm did not ultimately prevent God's purpose from being fulfilled.
Rather than endlessly reliving the interruption, he moves forward to what the Lord had already prepared before that intermission. The enemy may delay, distract, or deceive, but he cannot overturn God's purposes for those who trust in Him.
This does not mean ignoring the lessons of the past. Scripture repeatedly calls believers to test every spirit, examine every teaching, and grow in discernment. But biblical discernment is meant to lead us closer to Christ, not into lifelong suspicion, fear, or despair.
A grateful heart says:
"I was deceived, but the Lord did not abandon me."
A humble heart says:
"I have learned to depend more fully on God's Word."
A hopeful heart says:
"The Lord's purposes for my life are still before me."
Our testimony, then, is not merely that deception existed, but that the Lord Jesus Christ remained faithful through it all. He preserves His people, matures them through trials, and leads them onward in His perfect time.
Like Jacob, we can honestly acknowledge the pain of being deceived—even ten times—while joyfully declaring:
"But God suffered him not to hurt me."
The final word belongs not to deception, but to the faithfulness of God.Moving Forward After Deception "And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me." — Genesis 31:7 Jacob did not minimize what happened.

A Story of Fear, Forgiveness, and Resurrection
There is something almost haunting about the beginning of Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive.”
It doesn’t begin with celebration. It begins in the dark. Peter is hiding.
The doors are shut. The windows are fastened. Outside is the world that has just killed Jesus, and inside is a frightened group of men who don’t know what will happen next. Peter cannot sleep.
Every sound must seem dangerous. Every shadow beyond the door could mean soldiers. But Peter is carrying something heavier than fear.
He is carrying shame.
Only days before, he had stood beside Jesus and promised that he would never leave Him. Yet when the pressure came, Peter denied knowing Him.
Not once. Three times.
And now Jesus is dead.
Peter has to live with the knowledge that the last thing he did while Jesus was alive was fail Him.
Then, before sunrise, Mary comes. She brings news that sounds impossible.
The stone has been moved.
The tomb is empty.
Jesus’ body is gone.
Peter and John run.
They reach the tomb and find the evidence for themselves, the stone rolled away, the burial cloths lying there, but no Jesus. John begins to understand. Peter doesn’t.
And that is one of the most beautiful things about Francisco’s song.
Peter doesn’t instantly become a man of triumphant faith.
He is confused.
He has seen Jesus die.
He knows what death looks like. An empty tomb is astonishing, but Peter’s heart is still trying to catch up with what his eyes have seen.
So he returns. And there, alone with his thoughts, the resurrection becomes something far more frightening.
Because if Jesus really is alive…
Peter is going to have to face Him. And what would Jesus say?
Would He remind Peter of the promises he had made?
Would He ask why Peter had denied Him?
Would He turn away?
Would He condemn him?
Peter has every reason to believe that he deserves it.
And then, in the beautiful dramatic imagination of Francisco’s song, something happens that Peter could never have expected. Jesus appears.
Alive. Not as a memory.
Not as a ghost. Not as someone Peter wishes he could see.
Jesus is standing there.
And Peter looks at Him.
The man Peter thought he had lost forever is alive.
But there is something even more astonishing.
Jesus isn’t there to punish him.
He doesn’t come with anger.
He doesn’t come with a list of Peter’s failures.
He comes with love.
Peter falls before Him, overwhelmed by the impossible reality of it all.
The Savior he denied is standing before him.
And instead of condemnation, Peter finds forgiveness.
Instead of judgment, he finds mercy.
Instead of the end of his story, he discovers that God has written another chapter.
And suddenly Peter understands.
The empty tomb wasn’t simply proof that Jesus had conquered death.
It was proof that Peter’s failure wasn’t the end either.
Jesus is alive.
And because He is alive, Peter can be forgiven. Peter can get up. Peter can breathe again.
Peter can live again.
And that is what makes Don Francisco’s “He’s Alive” so much more than an Easter song. It is a song about what the resurrection feels like to someone who knows they have failed. It is about the moment when shame tells you that you are finished…
and Jesus tells you that you are not.
Francisco originally tried to tell the resurrection story through Thomas, but the song came together when he began telling it through Peter. Francisco has explained that Peter’s guilt and shame were something he personally understood.
That choice changed everything. Because Peter wasn’t a perfect disciple.
He was impulsive. He was courageous one moment and frightened the next.
He promised more than he could deliver. He failed Jesus at the very moment he thought he would be strongest.
And yet Jesus came back for him. That’s the heart of “He’s Alive.” Not simply that the tomb was empty. Not simply that death had been defeated.
But that the same Jesus Peter believed he had betrayed beyond repair was standing before him with forgiveness.
The song takes the greatest event in Christianity and tells it through the eyes of a broken man. And perhaps that’s why it has endured. Because somewhere inside Peter, many of us recognize ourselves.
We know what it is to make promises we couldn’t keep.
We know what it is to look backward and wish we could change something.
We know what guilt feels like.
We know what it is to wonder whether we have gone too far.
And then comes the message of the resurrection:
You are not finished.
The stone was rolled away.
The grave was empty.
Jesus was alive.
And Peter, the man who thought he had failed beyond forgiveness was given another chance. That is why the final declaration carries so much weight. He’s alive.
Not merely alive in history.
Not merely alive in doctrine.
But alive in such a way that Peter’s story can continue.
And perhaps that is the quiet miracle at the center of Don Francisco’s song…
Jesus didn’t erase Peter’s past.
He redeemed it.
And the man who once stood outside a fire denying that he knew Jesus could now stand in the light knowing that Jesus still knew him.
He was alive.
Peter was forgiven.
And the story wasn’t over.

In the Potter’s hands, brokenness is not the end of the story. He takes every shattered piece, every painful season, every failure, and every scar—and with hands full of grace, He begins shaping again.
The clay may not understand the pressure of the Potter’s hands, but the Potter already knows what He is creating.
You are not beyond repair.
You are not too damaged for His purpose.
You are still in His hands.
“And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel…” — Jeremiah 18:4
Trust the Potter. What feels broken today may become part of the masterpiece He is creating.

Today was actually a really good day.
Some days the orders are really good, and today was one of those days. I worked for about one hour in the early afternoon and then around three hours at night, from 6 to 9. So, just four hours in total, and I made around ₹1,200. I honestly wish every day was like this!
But that's not even the highlight of my day. The highlight was what happened tonight.
I was waiting for an order near my home when I got one where the pickup was very close by, but the drop was a little towards the outskirts. The drop location was St. Anthony's Church.
That church is actually special to me because it's one of the churches I had visited before. My brother and I completed our Sacrament of Confirmation there a few years ago.
Since the place was a little far out, I thought there was a chance I might not get an order back home after dropping the passenger. But then I thought, "It's been almost 6–7 months since I've gone to church. If I don't get another order, I'll just stop there, pray for a few minutes and come home."
So I picked up this girl and took her there. And when we reached, I realized the drop was literally right in front of the church!
After I dropped her, she asked me if I could wait for 10–15 minutes because she wanted to take a ride back with me to the same place where I picked her up.
I asked her what she was going to do there, and she said she was going to the church and would probably take about 10 minutes.
It was already around 7:30 at night, so I told her that the church was probably closed. She said she didn't know it was closed and didn't know what to do.
I told her that maybe the gate would still be open and that she could at least go in front of the church and pray, even if she couldn't go inside. And I told her, "If you're going to the church, I'll come with you."
So both of us went inside the church campus. Just as I thought, the church was closed, but we stood outside the church and prayed together.
After that, she booked another ride back, and I got the order and accepted it.
While we were coming back, she started telling me her story.
She had come to Bangalore from Chennai only about a week ago for a job. She doesn't really know anyone here except a couple of girls who are staying with her in her PG.
She told me that she had been feeling really low that day. She just wanted to go somewhere and pray, so she searched on Google for a church. St. Anthony's Church came up, and she simply booked a Rapido to go there. She hadn't even checked properly where the church was or how far it was.
And while coming there, she actually got scared because the area was quite far out. There were farms and very few people around, it was dark, and there weren't many streetlights. She was wondering where we were going and whether she had somehow ended up going to a completely different place.
She kept telling me how happy and grateful she was that she got me as her rider. She started calling me "Akka" and was really comfortable talking to me.
I was able to give her some advice, share some godly wisdom and also share a few of my testimonies with her. Most importantly, I got the opportunity to talk to her about Jesus.
I told her that I genuinely believe it was God's plan that we met today.
Because of her, I ended up going to a church after almost 6–7 months. I had been thinking about going to church for a long time, and today, without even planning it, I actually stepped into a church campus and prayed.
While we were coming back, she was telling me more about herself, and I noticed that she had a speech difficulty. She was stuttering while talking. After a while, she actually told me herself, "I have stuttering, that's why I talk like this."
So while I was encouraging her, I told her that God has great plans for her and that she should always walk in obedience to Him, listen to His guidance, and follow His will for her life. I told her that there will always be things and people that try to take us away from God's path, but we should keep listening to God and choose His way.
Then I told her about Moses.
I told her that Moses also had difficulty speaking. When God called him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, Moses himself felt that he wasn't capable and didn't know how he could do it. But God still chose him and used him to do something incredibly great.
I told her, "God doesn't need us to be perfect for Him to use us. He can use people who feel broken, weak, unworthy or inadequate, and He can use them in mighty ways so that His glory can be seen through their lives."
When I told her that, she was actually quite amazed. I don't think she knew much about the story of Moses, because she was really surprised to hear it.
I felt that this was something she really needed to hear at that moment. I wanted her to understand that whatever she may see as a weakness in herself doesn't mean that God cannot use her. God has a purpose for her, and He can still do great things through her life.
I also gave her my number and told her that if she ever needs any help or gets stuck with anything, she can call me and I'll help her if I can.
When I dropped her back, I also told her that she doesn't have to travel so far just to go to church. I showed her a few churches closer to where she stays.
I even invited her for future Bible reading and Bible studies, and she said she'd be interested. So let's see how that goes.
Honestly, this was the highlight of my entire day.
I truly believe this wasn't just a random Rapido ride. I believe God brought our paths together for a reason.
I went out today thinking I was just going to work and earn some money, but God gave me an opportunity to meet someone, encourage her, talk to her about Jesus, and even get myself back into a church after so many months.
So yeah… this is what happened today.17th August 2026 Today was actually a really good day. 😊 Some days the orders are really good, and today was one of those days.

- Charles Spurgeon Morning Devotion August 17th
"The mercy of God."
Psalm 52:8
Meditate a little on this mercy of the Lord. It is tender mercy. With gentle, loving touch, he healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He is as gracious in the manner of his mercy as in the matter of it. It is great mercy. There is nothing little in God; his mercy is like himself--it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favors and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God. It is undeserved mercy, as indeed all true mercy must be, for deserved mercy is only a misnomer for justice. There was no right on the sinner's part to the kind consideration of the Most High; had the rebel been doomed at once to eternal fire he would have richly merited the doom, and if delivered from wrath, sovereign love alone has found a cause, for there was none in the sinner himself. It is rich mercy. Some things are great, but have little efficacy in them, but this mercy is a cordial to your drooping spirits; a golden ointment to your bleeding wounds; a heavenly bandage to your broken bones; a royal chariot for your weary feet; a bosom of love for your trembling heart. It is manifold mercy. As Bunyan says, "All the flowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy, but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies. It is abounding mercy. Millions have received it, yet far from its being exhausted; it is as fresh, as full, and as free as ever. It is unfailing mercy. It will never leave thee. If mercy be thy friend, mercy will be with thee in temptation to keep thee from yielding; with thee in trouble to prevent thee from sinking; with thee living to be the light and life of thy countenance; and with thee dying to be the joy of thy soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast.Charles Spurgeon Morning Devotion August 17th "The mercy of God." Psalm 52:8 Meditate a little on this mercy of the Lord. It is tender mercy. With gentle, loving touch, he healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He is as gracious in the manner of his mercy as in the matter of it. It is great mercy. There is nothing little in God; his mercy is like himself--it is infinite. You cannot measure it. His mercy is so great that it forgives great sins to great sinners, after great lengths of time, and then gives great favors and great privileges, and raises us up to great enjoyments in the great heaven of the great God. It is undeserved mercy, as indeed all true mercy must be, for deserved mercy is only a misnomer for justice. There was no right on the sinner's part to the kind consideration of the Most High; had the rebel been doomed at once to eternal fire he would have richly merited the doom, and if delivered from wrath, sovereign love alone has found a cause, for there was none in the sinner himself. It is rich mercy. Some things are great, but have little efficacy in them, but this mercy is a cordial to your drooping spirits; a golden ointment to your bleeding wounds; a heavenly bandage to your broken bones; a royal chariot for your weary feet; a bosom of love for your trembling heart. It is manifold mercy. As Bunyan says, "All the flowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy, but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies. It is abounding mercy.

If mercy be thy friend, mercy will be with thee in temptation to keep thee from yielding; with thee in trouble to prevent thee from sinking; with thee living to be the light and life of thy countenance; and with thee dying to be the joy of thy soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast.0 Kommentare 0 Anteile 13 Ansichten - The Last Great Revival Before the Return of Christ
Theme: When God Awakens Nations Before the King Appears
Scripture Anchor: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” — Acts 2:17
Before the trumpet sounds and Christ returns in glory, Scripture declares there will be a mighty outpouring of the Spirit—a revival unlike any before. This revival is not confined to one nation or generation; it is global, sweeping across cultures, ages, and denominations. It is the final awakening, preparing the Bride for the Bridegroom.
Acts 2:17 establishes the principle: the last days are marked by a Spirit‑outpouring. Joel’s prophecy fulfilled at Pentecost points forward to a greater fulfillment before Christ’s return. Revival is heaven’s strategy to gather souls and purify the Church before the King comes.
The last great revival represents:
- Outpouring: God’s Spirit poured on all flesh.
- Harvest: Multitudes brought into the kingdom.
- Purification: The Bride made ready.
- Unity: Believers across nations joined in one Spirit.
- Testimony: Evidence of God’s power before the end.
The struggle manifests as:
- Opposition: Satanic resistance to awakening.
- Deception: False teachings to distract.
- Persecution: Pressure against the faithful.
- Complacency: Hearts asleep in comfort.
- Testing: Faith refined in fire.
- Revival is not hype—it is holy transformation.
- The last revival is not man‑made—it is Spirit‑driven.
- Opposition is not victory—it is proof of God’s movement.
From heaven’s view, the last great revival is the Bride’s final preparation. God pours His Spirit to awaken, purify, and empower His people. Heaven rejoices as nations turn, because it signals the nearness of Christ’s appearing.
What the Last Revival Produces
- Repentance: Hearts broken before God.
- Holiness: Lives set apart.
- Power: Signs, wonders, and miracles.
- Unity: Barriers broken among believers.
- Harvest: Souls gathered for eternity.
Signs the Last Revival Is Stirring
1. Global hunger: Nations crying out for truth.
2. Youth rising: Sons and daughters prophesying.
3. Supernatural manifestations: Visions, dreams, and miracles.
4. Persecution increasing: Resistance against the faithful.
5. Bride awakening: Church purified for the Bridegroom.
Assignment for Believers
- Prepare your heart: Repent and consecrate yourself.
- Seek His Spirit: Cry out for fresh outpouring.
- Reject complacency: Do not sleep in comfort.
- Stand boldly: Endure opposition with faith.
- Magnify Christ: Exalt Him as the Coming King.
Beloved, the last great revival before the return of Christ is not a distant dream—it is heaven’s promise. Do not let distraction or fear rob you of participation. His Spirit is your fire, His word is your anchor, and His coming is your hope. Awaken, for the final revival is rising, and the King is at the door.📖 The Last Great Revival Before the Return of Christ 🔥🌍👑 Theme: When God Awakens Nations Before the King Appears Scripture Anchor: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
