[Edited for clarity] God bless everyone. Today, I wish to offer a brief reflection on Luke Chapter 19, verses 1 to 10. You are encouraged to read it at your convenience. In this passage, Jesus encounters Zacchaeus, a wealthy chief tax collector who was short in stature. Eager to see Jesus but hindered by his height and the crowded surroundings, Zacchaeus climbed a tree for a better view. Jesus, noticing him, called out, 'Zacchaeus, come down, for I must stay at your house today.' This gesture filled Zacchaeus with joy, although it led to murmurs among the crowd, questioning Jesus' decision to associate with a sinner. However, Jesus' interaction with Zacchaeus brought salvation to his house, demonstrating that Jesus is accessible to everyone—regardless of size, intelligence, wealth, or health. He is ever-present, offering salvation and redemption to all.

This story illustrates that Jesus seeks to reach out to everyone, even those who, like Zacchaeus, seem to have it all yet lack spiritual fulfillment. Zacchaeus was curious about Jesus and discovered that Jesus intended to bring him redemption and salvation. This narrative encourages us to recognize Jesus' constant presence and openness to us, inviting us to turn away from sin, cleanse our hearts and minds, and embrace a life aligned with His purpose.

I pray to God that we can form a bridge to Him, acknowledging His mercy, grace, and love, which are always waiting for us. God desires us to follow Him out of genuine desire, not obligation. We should seek Him with pure hearts, spending time in prayer and rejecting the temptations of the enemy.

Despite our weaknesses and failures, past or present, we must not continue down the path of distraction and sin. We are given free will, but we ask for God's guidance and the Holy Spirit's help to repent and align ourselves with God's will, especially in challenging times. Let us not be led astray by distractions or sins but remain focused on our path to God, seeking purity and connection with Him.

In conclusion, we seek God's assistance in overcoming distractions and temptations, surrendering fully to His will, and ensuring our actions are in accordance with His desires. Thank you, Lord, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

[Edited for Clarity] In this moment, Lord, I want to dedicate my prayers to those people who are being forgotten. Those people in jail, those people in depression, who are in that dark place, Lord, in sadness, in that darkness. And I pray, Lord, because we don't know what they're going through in that place, Lord. But we pray, Lord, we pray, Lord, that the intercessions we are making in this moment, this prayer that we are offering, touch their hearts, cleanse their hearts, and lead them to ask for forgiveness.

Lord, may they ask for your help, repent for their sins, because the enemy is working hard. And we don't know why, Lord. The demons use whatever they can, Lord, and we are not to judge. Because the only one who can judge is you, Lord. You have the power to judge anyone, Lord, everybody, Lord. And we pray, Lord, we pray for them. Lord, we don't want to judge them. The only thing we want to do is intercede for them, pray for them. May they open their hearts to you, Lord, and start asking for forgiveness, Lord, for whatever they did, big or small. We don't know, Lord, but may they truly seek you, Lord. Seek you, Lord, because we pray for them. May they truly recognize that there is a God who cares, a God who loves them.

They are loved because they are in this moment, in a moment of suffering, Lord. Because the enemy works in there horribly. They make the enemy make them believe whatever lies, Lord. But we pray, Lord, that they will humble themselves, ask forgiveness from you, Lord, with a pure and clean heart. May your Holy Spirit enter their hearts and make the changes they need to have. Transform their hearts and help them become the person they are meant to be. And we pray, Lord, that you will use them in that place to bring souls to you, Lord. May they bring a testimony, a testimony of a transformed life, that what you did for them, you can do for others. Use them, Lord. Use them in that place, in that darkness, in that sad moment in their lives, that they can be the source to help bring souls to your kingdom.

Lord, I pray that they will embrace more and more that you will use them, Lord, because they have a calling from you. Everybody, each individual has a calling for you, Lord. And those people in jail, Lord, use them. The pastors, Lord, who are in jail. The ministers, Lord, who are in jail. You are calling them in this moment, Lord, to bring souls to you, Lord, to bring souls close to your kingdom. May they recognize this. Another life is another joy, another peace, another moment, Lord, that they say no to the enemy. The enemy is trying to destroy them even in jail, Lord. But when, Lord, even in jail, they can see your light. Even in jail, they can feel your peace.

Even in jail, they can feel that joy that comes from you, Lord. And they say, 'I want you, Lord. I want you.' May you touch their hearts, that they start seeking you, Lord. May they read the Bible and be fulfilled by your word, Lord. May they seek you very, very hard, Lord. May they feel you very, very strongly. And may they see life in a different way. And when you allow them to go out from jail, as they go out to the streets, Lord, may you use the calling they have, Lord. May they start embracing people, being that soul for your kingdom. May you use them inside and outside, in all moments. Amen.

May we embrace you more and more, take time to be with you, and recognize who you are in our lives.
