State of Mind: Learning to Let Go

Tue, 16 Jun 2026 08:00:00 +0530

Is God teaching you to surrender an outcome you desperately want?

Sometimes we hold people, dreams, expectations, and plans so tightly that they become the source of our anxiety. Yet when we loosen our grip, we gain a wider perspective.

Maybe some things are broken by design. Maybe some things are never meant to unfold the way we hope. And perhaps that is not a tragedy. There is a quiet beauty in accepting that rather than fighting it.

In this episode of State of Mind, Hiroto finds himself missing Hanaya only a week into summer break. Knowing she would never agree to meet him one-on-one outside of school days, he turns to Yuri for help. Together, they plan a "chance encounter" at Shichirigahama Beach.

Hanaya likes Hiroto, but she remains cautious. Her life is centered on God's calling and mission, leaving her uncertain where a relationship fits into her future. Hiroto understands this and has no intention of pressuring her or pushing beyond her boundaries. Instead, he simply wants to cherish whatever time he can with her.

As they talk, he quietly confronts a painful truth: the path Hanaya feels called to follow may not be one he can walk beside her—at least not for now. Hanaya doesn't fully grasp the deeper meaning behind his words. What she doesn't realize is that the Holy Spirit has been quietly reshaping Hiroto's perspective.

Rather than clinging to the outcome he wants most, he is learning something far more difficult: how to let go.

Superbloom: The Girl I'm Becoming

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:00:00 +0530

A photoshoot. A conversation about God. And a challenge neither of them expected.

After drifting apart during Yeona's two years in Seoul, childhood friends Hiroto and Yeona reunite as high school classmates. Now a budding teen model, Yeona asks Hiroto to help with a photoshoot, sparking an unexpected conversation about Christianity.

When Yeona turns Hiroto's own advice back on him, questions about God lead to deeper questions of the heart. Both find themselves challenged in ways they never expected.

But what about our own lives?

We all have areas that seem dormant, and God often works through seasons, cultivating growth over time. Yet sometimes, in ways we cannot predict, He brings unexpected beauty from barren places.

A superbloom is rare and cannot be forced. But when the conditions are right, what once seemed lifeless can burst into life.

Perhaps God's most surprising works are the ones we never saw coming.

Girls Just Wanna Be... Loved: Torn Between God and Love

Sun, 24 May 2026 08:00:00 +0530

A Christian story episode about love, faith, vulnerability, emotional wounds, and the tension between devotion to God and longing for human connection.

Love and romance always carry risk — but the right love may be worth the leap. Especially one rooted in God.

Yeona openly longs for love. Hanaya, a mission-focused Christian girl, quietly longs for it too while resisting it.

Seeing Hanaya hesitate to commit to a future with Hiroto, Yeona senses an opportunity. Winning him over will not be easy, but Yeona has always been competitive.

Part of Yeona’s plan involves exploring Christianity and growing closer to Hanaya, who has no idea Yeona knows Hiroto is the boy she loves — or that Yeona likes him too.

Yet despite the rivalry forming between them, Yeona does not truly want to hurt her. Through this conversation at school, she gives Hanaya one final fair chance: to decide what she truly wants, fight for the person she loves, and stop holding herself back.

Can Hanaya endure Hiroto’s parents’ hatred for influencing his decision to follow Jesus, work toward a future with him, and show more affection without compromising her boundaries?

Though a strong Christian, Hanaya’s guarded nature comes from deep wounds. Abandoned by her father before she was born while her mother was still in high school, she struggles to fully trust or lean on others.

Meanwhile, Yeona regrets not confessing her feelings sooner, while hidden parts of her past continue shaping her deep longing for love.

Now that Yeona has stopped holding back, Hanaya is about to be tested in ways she never expected.

Jesus, I’m Yours Again – A Prayer for Tired Hearts

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:00:00 +0530

If you’ve been feeling far from Jesus—unsure where you are, or simply tired—this is for you. In the middle of noise, doubt, and quiet questions, this is an invitation to return. To sit with Him. To begin again.

Lately, Hanaya has felt worn out. After school, she sits in the quiet of Kamakura Central Park—reflecting, wrestling with questions, and slowly returning her heart to Jesus.

As she speaks honestly with Him, you’re invited into that same stillness… to bring your thoughts, your weariness, and rest in His presence.

Chasing a Girl… or God’s Calling?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0530

What happens when the person you want most… might not be where God is leading you?

In this episode of a Christian story series about faith, love, and following God’s calling, Hiroto finds himself in the middle of a conversation he never expected.

Once an ambitious student driven by success, Hiroto has begun changing the direction of his life after becoming a Christian. His transformation started when he met Hanaya, a girl deeply passionate about God’s mission. But Hiroto’s sudden change worries his mother, who fears Hanaya’s influence is pulling him away from the future he once worked so hard for.

Hoping someone close to him can bring him back to his senses, Hiroto’s mother turns to Yeona—Hiroto’s childhood friend. After spending two years in Seoul, Yeona has recently returned and now attends the same school and class as Hiroto and Hanaya.

Before Yeona and Hiroto set off for a one-hour trip to Tokyo for some shopping, what begins as a simple conversation quickly turns serious. Yeona confronts Hiroto with hard questions about his choices and the girl who may be influencing his future.

As emotions surface and long-hidden feelings come to light, a surprising confession catches Hiroto off guard.

Now Hiroto must face a deeper question:

Is love distracting him from his purpose? Is he truly seeking God’s will for his life… or simply chasing someone he loves?

All the Time in the World: When Love Waits for God

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0530

What if love isn’t about rushing—but about learning to wait on God?

In this reflective Christian love story, two high school friends wrestle with a question many young believers face: when feelings are real but the future is uncertain, do you follow your heart—or trust God’s timing?

Hanaya finds herself quietly falling in love with Hiroto, yet she guards her heart with careful discipline. Her feelings surface only in subtle ways, rarely spoken aloud—except for a single voice message she once sent to Hiroto. Afraid of committing too quickly and mistaking emotion for God’s direction, she keeps her distance even as her affection grows.

Noriko, their mutual friend, struggles to understand Hanaya’s hesitation. Watching Hiroto patiently pursue her with sincerity—despite Hanaya’s attempts to discourage him—she begins to wonder whether waiting too long can wound the heart just as deeply as rushing into love.

Through their conversations, the two friends wrestle with questions about Christian relationships, discernment, patience, and what it truly means to love someone while seeking God’s guidance.

The insights they discover reach beyond romance. Their reflections reveal how trusting God’s timing can shape other areas of life—not just love.

A thoughtful Christian story about waiting on God—and discovering that some roads are meant to be walked slowly.

Action Girl: A Life Led by Jesus

Mon, 02 Feb 2026 20:00:00 +0530

Stillness shouldn’t mean passivity—and obedience to Jesus often looks like movement before clarity. This episode explores calling, faith in action, love, and the willingness to act without perfect conditions.

Hiroto visits Hanaya’s mother at her bookstore to ask for permission for what he’s planning. What unfolds is an honest exchange about faith, risk, love, and obedience.

Through this encounter, we see who Hanaya is at her core: a young girl defined by her obedience to Jesus—choosing action over hesitation and the eternal over temporary gain.

Hiroto opens up about his desire for a future with Hanaya while wrestling with her mixed signals. In the final moments, he shares one quiet scene—the exact moment he fell for Hanaya.

Boy Takes On His School to Defend a Christian Girl

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0530

What happens when a student is punished for sharing her Christian faith at school?
How far would you go to protect the person you love?

As Hiroto speaks with Hanaya at school about the voice message she sent earlier, an urgent warning reaches him—relayed by classmate Noriko at the homeroom teacher’s request. His mother is meeting privately with the principal, pressuring the administration to discipline Hanaya and bar her from taking the final exam.

Behind closed doors, donations speak louder than the truth. Quiet threats are exchanged, and institutional power prepares to silence a Christian student for sharing her faith.

Hanaya tries to stop Hiroto from going to the principal’s office. She doesn’t want him dragged into the conflict. But Hiroto has been researching the law ever since his mother’s threats began. He knows what is at stake—and he knows it’s time to speak.

As accusations of manipulation and coerced religious conversion put Hanaya’s future at risk, Hiroto steps forward to defend her—challenging school authority, parental influence, and a system willing to trade justice for financial favor.

Sayonara, My First Love: A Christian Girl’s Heartfelt Goodbye

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 14:00:00 +0530

A Christian first-love story about obedience, calling, and letting go. In this emotional episode, Hanaya faces a painful choice between a growing affection for Hiroto and the mission path Jesus called her to follow. Her honest, heartfelt goodbye—as the girl who led Hiroto to Jesus and quietly fell in love with him—offers a tender reminder that following Jesus often means choosing the harder, narrower road. Sometimes, even something beautiful can start pulling us off the path He asks us to walk.

Hanaya sends Hiroto a bittersweet voice message. For the first time, she finally admits she likes him. It’s what Hiroto has been hoping to hear ever since he confessed his feelings for her. But her admission isn’t the start of something new—it’s a goodbye.

Hiroto’s parents won’t support his dream of joining Hanaya in long-term missions in Mongolia or Vietnam. Then Hanaya learns he’s ready to go behind their backs—asking his grandmother for college money so he can follow her overseas. He’s even considering reaching out to Hanaya’s adventure-biker aunt, a massive YouTuber, hoping she’ll threaten to call out his parents online if they pressure the school to block Hanaya from taking her final exams.

The fact that he would go to such extremes for her touches Hanaya deeply—but it also breaks her heart and leaves her overwhelmed. His parents are already upset with her, and she can’t bear carrying the blame for even more conflict in his family.

Most painful of all, Hanaya realizes that her longing to stay close to Hiroto is starting to make her question the mission path she once promised Jesus she would follow. Loving him feels sweet—but it’s slowly tugging her heart away from the direction Jesus gave her.

The Japanese Song (Overall Interpretation):

The song expresses a love that must end, even though the feelings remain. The singer still thinks constantly about the one she loves but believes she cannot give him the happiness he longs for—so in her heartbreak, she chooses to let him go.

8 Lessons to Live Boldly for Jesus (Before It’s Too Late)

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 09:00:00 +0530

Are you holding back your light for Jesus? Are you feeling hesitant to share your faith or speak the truth because of what others might think?

Inspired by Charlie Kirk’s faith and courage, in this episode, Hanaya shares 8 lessons that challenge Christians—especially young believers—to rise above fear, embrace their mission, and boldly live for Jesus in every conversation, community, and calling. If you’re seeking courage, clarity, and guidance to make your life count for God’s purpose and shine bright for Jesus, this episode is a must-hear.

What you’ll hear:

1. Don’t Waste Your Life
2. Endure Hardships and Conflicts
3. Weakness Is Strength
4. Trust the Process
5. Think Outside the Box
6. It’s Time to Stop Hiding
7. Find Your Focus
8. Your Voice Changes History

This clip honors the memory of Charlie Kirk—a man who recognized his calling to youth, education, and politics, and stayed faithful to it. He intertwined his faith in Jesus with his cultural and political engagement, believing that truth belongs in every arena of life. On college campuses, he challenged conformity and inspired students to think critically and live courageously for truth. An unconventional evangelist, Charlie didn’t preach from pulpits but reasoned, debated, and engaged the questions of young people on university grounds. A reformer at heart, he saw the church not just as an institution, but as Christ’s ecclesia—called to bring biblical clarity and moral courage to every sphere of society.

I want to be remembered for courage for my faith.
— Charlie Kirk (1993-2025)

We are called to live out our faith in everyday life—not just within church walls. Wherever we study, work, live, or spend time, those places are our mission fields. Yet too often, we’ve become convinced that as Christ followers we can be passive, keeping our faith private to avoid offense. We file into our churches and hide, as if our responsibility ends at the sanctuary doors. The greatest threat we face isn’t the depravity of the wicked, but the indifference of the faithful.
— Allen Jackson

Where are the people who are willing to be brave for King Jesus? Everybody likes to be liked. Everybody likes to be loved. But don't think for one second that you're ever going to get along with the world as long as you've signed up for King Jesus. You're not going to get along. So, find joy in it.
— Troy Brewer

Risking It All for Jesus and the Girl

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 14:00:00 +0530

What do you do when following Jesus costs more than you expected? We often believe it’s our right to enjoy a blessing—whatever form it takes. But if we chase the blessing more than we chase God’s call, we risk being deceived. Because not every blessing is truly a gift—sometimes it’s a snare. The real question is: can you let it go?

This word is for anyone who longs to follow Jesus in a world that pulls hard in the opposite direction. Remember: we cannot serve two masters. In every temptation and trial, God is proving your faith and your obedience.

One afternoon, as Hanaya and Hiroto linger after school, amid the fun and laughter, Hiroto admits the weight he feels—the steep cost of truly following Jesus. It’s the same crossroads each of us must face: surrender or self.

Perhaps today you find yourself in that place, visited by change you didn’t expect—or maybe never wanted. The future feels uncertain. Questions of provision, purpose, and direction press heavy. Yet right here, in this very moment, God sets before you a hinge point. Your surrender today could swing open the door to the destiny He designed for you. Say yes. Step forward. Trust Him. He is already on the other side—waiting to meet you there.

Be encouraged and challenged as you listen to this clip.

Loving a Christian Girl of Contradictions

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 11:00:00 +0530

What do you do when she won't say how she really feels? Can love endure when her signals shift and blur? Can it withstand unanswered confessions? Can it survive the weight of pressure and expectation? In the haze of uncertainty, is there someone truly worth holding on to?

Yeona playfully dresses up Hanaya and snaps photos that ripple through the school group chat. Norio and Akio are surprised Hiroto hasn’t seen them yet—but when he does, the longing he tried to bury begins to surface.

At home, Hiroto faces pressure from his parents: disapproval of his new faith, the weight of their expectations, and even threats to pressure the school into acting against Hanaya if she keeps speaking to him about Jesus.

At school, Hanaya has already told him to stop pursuing her (in clip: Choosing God’s Call Over Love), though her eyes hinted at something her words denied. She never truly answered his confession; she only turned it away with reasons he could not fight. With nothing more to say to convince her, frustrated and wounded, he withdrew into cold distance. Yet when he saw her picture, the ink in his diary dissolved into quiet longing.

Is Yeona’s plan working? Could one photo break through his defenses? And if so—can Hiroto love with courage and patience? Can he endure both his parents’ pressure and Hanaya’s mixed signals long enough to fight for her, and for love itself?

For the Boy’s Attention… or God’s Glory?

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 09:00:00 +0530

As a Christian, it’s challenging to dress modestly in a culture that pressures you to be extra. The world says, “Look hot to get noticed.” But is being “hot” really the goal? Clothes are never just clothes—they reflect what we value. Christian modesty isn’t about rules—it’s honoring God above trends.

Hanaya misses Hiroto. She senses he’s still upset and avoiding her. One afternoon, fresh from a run, she spots him playing basketball. She lingers behind a tree, quietly watching. Yeona, back from a modeling gig, notices Hanaya and sneaks up mischievously, teasing her to spill who she’s been staring at. She plots a plan to help Hanaya—suggesting a hot look to win the attention of the boy she likes. Their playful banter soon shifts into a deeper talk about modesty, heartbreak, and eternity-minded choices.

John Piper:

Don’t just ask, “What’s wrong with it?” about your music, your movies, your clothing, your parties, or your habits. Don’t just ask, “Is it a sin?”—that’s the lowest bar you can set for your life.

Instead, ask: “Does this help me run? Does it help me run with all my focus, energy, and love for God? Or does it trip me up when I’m trying to grow in patience, kindness, gentleness, love, holiness, purity, and self-control?”

Don’t aim for just avoiding sin. Don’t settle for the minimal standard. Aim for the highest one. Take hold of the marathon that is your life and run it with purpose. Shape every choice—how you train, eat, think, and dress to be the most God-exalting runner you can be. Finish the race spent for His glory.

A Teen Model Faces the God Question

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 12:00:00 +0530

Hiroto's a bit upset with Hanaya. But they’ve agreed to keep their distance and give each other some space. So things between them are... quiet.

Enter Yeona. The new girl… who isn’t so new to Hiroto. A rising teen model with big dreams and a spotlight chasing her, Yeona once shared a classroom — and a friendship — with Hiroto back in Tokyo. She moved to Seoul after 9th grade, and now, out of nowhere, she’s reappeared in this sleepy seaside town. Hiroto knew she was coming back to Japan… but Kamakura? His school? That he didn’t see coming.

On her first day back, the two reconnect after school. But knowing the kind of industry Yeona's stepping into, Hiroto doesn’t hold back — he dives into a heart-to-heart about purpose, identity, and the bigger picture of life. He’s hoping to plant a seed... maybe even wake something up in her.

But not everything is as simple as it looks.

What’s the real reason Yeona chose this town… this school?
And what will Hanaya think when she sees Yeona getting too close to Hiroto?

How Long, Lord, Before Clarity Comes?

Fri, 11 Jul 2025 20:00:00 +0530

In this heartfelt and intimate dialogue between Hanaya and Jesus, we explore the tension of making decisions when God’s will isn’t immediately clear. When it comes to the specifics of life, it often seems that God invites us into a process of discernment. He doesn’t always give immediate answers; instead, He allows us to wrestle with decisions. There’s a purpose in that struggle.

If you’ve ever struggled to discern God’s direction in love, relationships, what job to take, whom to marry, where to live, or any other life decisions, this conversation will resonate deeply.

After unintentionally hurting Hiroto with her words (previous clip), Hanaya finds herself burdened with guilt and inner conflict. Longing for clarity and peace, she retreats the next day—after school—to a quiet place, seeking solitude, reflection, and a space to pour out her heart to Jesus. There, in raw honesty, she wrestles with emotion, uncertainty, and the weight of an unclear future. Jesus offers compassionate wisdom on why He sometimes chooses to withhold clarity.

She Chooses God’s Calling Over Love

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 11:00:00 +0530

Some believe love and calling don’t have to be at odds—that they can walk the same path. And sometimes, that’s true. But not always. Would you be willing to let go of someone you like if their path isn’t the one God is calling you to walk? Would you surrender to stay focused and faithful to your calling?

When pressure mounts, when personal desire collides with divine direction, our choices reveal the true depth of our devotion to Jesus. Whose voice will we follow?

Hiroto is upset-Hanaya never told him about the school meeting with his parents and others (previous clip). He feels blindsided, left out of something that clearly mattered. What stings most is his mom’s threat to Hanaya—something he now feels he should’ve seen coming.

Meanwhile, Hanaya is wrestling with her unspoken feelings for Hiroto and the unsettling uncertainty of whether he truly belongs in her future. She fears that Hiroto may be pursuing the mission path more out of love for her than out of a true calling from Jesus. To her, his affection—deep and sincere as it is—seems to blur his ability to clearly hear Jesus' voice. And that worries her.

In trying to protect both of them, Hanaya says things that may have unintentionally wounded him more deeply than she realized. She wants him to choose calling over love. But Hiroto believes his love for her is part of how his calling is being shaped.

Did the school meeting push Hanaya to speak too soon? Or was it fear—fear that Hiroto isn’t ready for the pressure ahead? Was it the necessary truth that needed to be spoken in love, or Hanaya projecting her own doubts? Did she misread Hiroto’s heart… or did Hiroto misread hers?

Could it be Jesus’ will for Hanaya and Hiroto to be together? Is Hanaya and Hiroto’s love part of Jesus’ plan? Stay tuned to discover what unfolds.

Christian Teen Girl Stands Up for Jesus at School

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0530

This compelling clip explores faith under pressure, the clash between conformity and courage, and the fire it takes to stand alone and speak the truth when silence feels safer. If you’ve ever felt pressure to hide what you believe, if you've ever been told to sit down when everything in you says to speak up — this moment will reach into your soul and hold a mirror to it.

After secretly reading Hiroto’s diary and finding baptism photos on his phone, his parents are shaken — not just by what they see, but by what it implies. They’re not alone. Noriko and Akio’s families, equally alarmed, rally together. Unnerved by whispers of Jesus and Bible verses taking root in their children’s hearts, they reach out to Ms. Megumi, Hanaya’s classroom teacher, demanding a meeting with Hanaya and her mother.

As members of well-connected, affluent households, they expect to be heard and get results. They intend to pressure Hanaya into silence, insisting she stop speaking about Jesus and the Bible at school. Ms. Megumi, caught between her professional duty and her concern for Hanaya, agrees to mediate the conversation.

Confident in their social standing and convinced they can reason with Hanaya, the parents assume she’s merely a naive, misguided teen. But as the conversation unfolds, their assumptions begin to crack. They had gravely underestimated the strength of Hanaya’s conviction — and the depth of her understanding. Hanaya listens calmly. She answers with clarity, composure, and grace. And in their attempt to suppress the Gospel, they are, perhaps for the first time, standing in its light. When persuasion fails, frustration gives way to threats — in a final attempt to silence her voice.

The unwasted life is the life that puts Christ on display as supremely valuable. It seems to be woven into the very fabric of our consumer culture that we move toward comfort, towards security, toward ease, towards safety, away from stress, away from trouble, away from danger and it ought to be exactly the opposite.
— John Piper

How shall I feel at the judgment, if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride?
— W. E. Sangster

Peace is always preferable to war, but some wars must be fought because the cost of not fighting them is too high. Appeasement has and never will work when confronted by a bully spirit.
— Rick Joyner

When it all comes down to it, no matter what happens to you and me amid our loyalty to King Jesus, it's not about how we stood alone in the day we stood. It's not about how we took on Hell in a very selfless way that other people did not appreciate. The hard things that we've stood loyal to might not have mattered to anybody then, but it matters on that day.
— Troy Brewer

Parents who are crazy radical in love with Jesus are going to have a big effect on their kids.

Christian Teen Girl Baptizes Boy at the Beach

Tue, 13 May 2025 21:00:00 +0530

Five friends—Hanaya, Yuri, Hiroto, Akio, and Noriko—spend an afternoon at Shichirigahama Beach (Kamakura, Japan) after school. They reflect on what it means to trust God and stay true to His plan, even when everything feels quiet and uncertain. Amid their conversation, Hiroto surprises Hanaya in a way she never expected. Could it be that God had this moment planned all along?

Synergy: Jesus, You, and Me

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 12:00:00 +0530

Are you living a surrendered life? Is there real synergy between you and Jesus?

We’re stronger when we stop carrying life on our own.

While waiting for their turn in a theatre play, Hanaya and Hiroto start chatting about leaning on Jesus' strength when facing tough situations. Hanaya is impressed by some of the things Hiroto says. She also shares a meaningful life lesson from her childhood. As they keep talking, it seems like Hiroto gets a bit carried away and might have hinted that he likes her.

Is Hanaya hearing a quiet confession of love?
Was Hiroto being impulsive—or was this a bold, intentional step forward?

Let’s grow together as we learn to walk in step with Jesus—and recognize the right people He brings into our lives to walk with us.

I Met a Jesus Girl

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 11:00:00 +0530

Some girls at school are envious of the attention Hanaya is receiving from Hiroto. They gossip about her behind her back and slander her character. Meanwhile, Hiroto's mom is upset that he continues to hang out with Hanaya.

Despite all this, Hiroto defends Hanaya as she endures criticism for talking about Jesus and the God-honoring way she carries herself at school.

In Japan, there's a proverb that goes, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." Japanese society emphasizes conformity to keep things peaceful and harmonious. Any straying from the norm usually gets pushed back against.

Hiroto sees it. He feels it. And it stirs something deep in him. He admires how brave Hanaya is for being herself. He writes down his thoughts while reflecting on the world, his life, and Hanaya.

You probably could live a calmer life, an easier life, if you didn't know certain things, but once you know it, you can't go back on it.
— Kevin Zadai

I know there's a lot going on, but someone has to stay focused on the Great Commission and on taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The Kingdom of Heaven often advances best through small things and in places where very few people are looking. You need to be willing to suffer the scandal of teaching that there is one true God. And He has revealed Himself through one true Savior, and that Savior is Jesus Christ.
— Paul Washer

Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.
— Jesus

I have people all the time just ask me, "Man, I don't know how you have such passion. I'm like, "Well, I don't know how you're so dead."

Half-Awake to Jesus? It's Time to Come Alive

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0530

Yuri: We are half-alive because we are half-awake to Jesus. We are far more busy than we want because we have far less of Jesus than we need. Our love for Him now resembles the cooling coals of a long-dying fire.

Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.
— Jesus

Are you constantly busy, distracted, anxious? Move beyond burnout and back into intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. This is not just another call to slow down — it's a divine invitation to come alive.

Something new is beginning to emerge on the other side. It's a new day of grace, a time of rebirth, a season of new strength. If you are ready to move forward in this appointed time as the person the Father has created you to be, make sure to check your oil. The true new thing of God cannot run apart from the fresh oil of intimacy and His presence. The oil that we have may seem small, but a whole other world and an unending Kingdom is ready to come alive from within it.

God's Calling & Dating Boundaries: A Road Less Taken

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 07:00:00 +0530

Hanaya can’t shake off her aunt’s comments about Hiroto (from the previous clip). While the two hang out in the school common room, she finally gathers the courage to ask what’s been weighing on her heart: “Are you following Jesus because you truly want to—or because you like me?”

Caught off guard and afraid that she might stop talking to him, Hiroto plays it safe. What follows is an honest, heart-searching conversation about relationships, calling, and eternity. Hanaya shares her passion for cross-cultural missions after high school, her personal boundaries around purity, and her desire to live a life that truly matters.

Hiroto begins to realize that pursuing her might come with deeper challenges—and deeper meaning—than he expected. He feels like time is slipping away. As Hanaya drifts off into a short nap, Hiroto watches her quietly, his heart stirred. In that still moment, he whispers a prayer to Jesus, unsure of the future but desperate to be real.

Whether you're a Christian teen, a parent, a mentor, or just someone seeking truth—you’ll find something here to stir your heart, challenge your thinking, and remind you what really matters. Perhaps God may prompt you to think outside the box of a conventional life.

Only one life, the still small voice
Gently pleads for a better choice
Bidding me selfish aims to leave
And to God’s Holy will to cleave
Only one life, a few brief years
Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears
Each with its days I must fulfil
Living for self or in His will
Give me Father, a purpose deep
Let me say, Thy will be done
And when at last I’ll hear the call
I know I’ll say it was worth it all
Only one life, it will soon be past
Only what’s done for Christ will last
— C.T. Studd

Boundaries with Boys, New Seasons with God

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 08:00:00 +0530

Hanaya’s aunt, who is deeply fond of and protective toward her, invites Hanaya to spend some time together before setting off on a long solo motorbike trip. At the garage, amidst the tools and bikes, the two share a meaningful conversation. Her aunt opens up about feeling frustrated over not having clarity on what God’s next step is for her. Hanaya gently offers her perspective.

As their talk deepens, the conversation shifts to relationships—specifically, whether any boys at school have shown interest in Hanaya. With heartfelt wisdom, her aunt speaks about the importance of setting clear boundaries and urges Hanaya to never let her guard down, especially when it comes to love and purity.

Whether you’re a teen, young adult, or parent, this conversation will resonate with anyone seeking God’s direction and desiring to honor Him in their relationships.

Sharing Jesus Got Her in Trouble at School

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0530

Are you afraid to share the Gospel when it matters most? In this clip, we explore what it means to have courage as a Christian under pressure and why to boldly speak the truth.

Hanaya's teacher calls her in for a chat because some parents of her classmates have complained that she's influencing their children toward Christianity.

Hanaya must decide: will she shrink back or stand strong for Jesus? Can she hold her ground under pressure? Will she play it safe and dim her light, or will she continue to be a bright shining lamp for Jesus at school? And what does Jesus say to Hanaya at the end?

Context: What's Hanaya up against?

For many Japanese people, Shintoism and Buddhism are closely intertwined with their identity and culture. Leaving your family's religion can be like leaving your family. Also, due to negative experiences with religious cults in the past, many Japanese are skeptical and suspicious of new beliefs. Religion and religious events are considered separate things by the Japanese. Religious activities in Japan tend to be pragmatic, like praying for money, success in exams, naming ceremonies, removing bad luck, dressing up for fun, etc. They don't think deeply about their beliefs. Also, recent studies indicate that 30% to 39% of the population identify as convinced atheists.

We need the courage to declare and display the Gospel through our words, our work, and our character.
— Dr. Patrick Fung

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in people’s minds.
— Samuel Adams

Our battle is a battle of persuasion. Be a voice, be an advocate for the Kingdom of God. Share the wonder, beauty, and truth of God without hesitation. Sometimes we get locked down in a way that the enemy would want us to, to not talk, to not speak up, to not declare the truth of God, because the truth is what sets people free.

Fix My Heart: What Every Heart Longs For

Thu, 31 Oct 2024 11:00:00 +0530

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it still doesn’t quiet the ache inside? Like something’s missing—something that success, approval, or even time just can’t fix? Do you ever feel unseen, not enough, or weighed down by the past?

Hanaya has sensed something in Hiroto for a while—something unspoken. She knows it’s time to say what’s been on her heart. When she finally does, Hiroto opens up.

Could this be a God moment?

What about you? Are you trying to fix your heart on your own?

If you’re carrying pain, feeling the pressure, or wrestling with life’s deeper questions—maybe it’s time to encounter the love your heart has been longing for all along.

Faith, Chaos, and the Summer Rain

Do you ever experience God in the little, everyday things? Have you ever felt like God was speaking to you through something simple—like rain, nature, or a random moment in your day?

In this clip, Hiroto encounters another of Hanaya’s unique ways of seeing things.

Hiroto has been reading the Bible Hanaya gave him, asking questions as he goes. But what’s really driving his curiosity? Is it a growing faith—or a quiet crush on Hanaya? As he spends more time with Hanaya, more of her world is bleeding into his. The more he listens to her, the more he finds himself drawn—not just to her, but to the God she knows so intimately.

Don’t Miss God’s Purpose: If Not Now, When?

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 01:00:00 +0530

How are you spending your short years on this planet? Are you living with intention—or simply drifting through life? Have you embraced the purpose God entrusted to you, or have comfort and self-interest dulled your spiritual edge?

The clock is ticking—tick-tock, tick-tock...

Yuri and Hanaya confront the dangers of spiritual passivity. This is a wake-up call to shake off complacency and own your God-given calling. Now is the time to live with urgency. Steward your gifts, time, finances, and influence to make it less about yourself and more about revealing Jesus to the world.

Come to the end of your life—your one and only precious, God-given life—and let the last great work of your life, before you give an account to your Creator, be this: playing softball and collecting shells. Picture them before Christ at the great day of judgment: “Look, Lord. See my shells.” That is a tragedy.

When Life Brings Trials, Is Jesus Still Worthy?

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 13:00:00 +0530

I lost all my friends at school, now that I’ve begun to ‘walk my talk’, they make fun of me. I don’t even know what I have done. I don’t really have to say anything and they turn from me. But you know what, I am not going to apologize for speaking the name of Jesus. I am not going to justify my faith to them, and I am not going to hide the light that God has put into me. If I have to sacrifice everything I will. I will take it. If my friends have to become my enemies for me to be with my best friend Jesus, then that's fine with me.
— Rachel Joy Scott | From her diary, 1998

I dedicate this clip in memory of Rachel Joy Scott. Rachel was 17 years old and the main inspiration behind the character Hanaya Oki. If you want to know about Rachel and what happened to her, you can read the post "Rachel Joy Scott: The teen who loved Jesus".

Is Jesus the most important person in our lives? When the trials of life arrive, and we suffer loss, is Jesus still worthy? We can never glory in our capacity to love Him back. The spotlight isn't really on us or Rachel. Those who know they're loved best, love best.

If you've lost sight of Jesus, may your heart be stirred, realigned, and renewed as you listen to Hanaya's heartfelt words to Jesus and the worship song.

It's not the stretch of life that matters. It's the depth of life. It's not how long we live. It's how we live.
— Leonard Ravenhill

God can’t do anything in your life unless you meet him halfway. You have to make room for him. A lot of room. Go after God. Whatever it takes, do it. And don’t give the excuse, “I am just a teenager” or “I’ll do that when I grow up,” because it doesn’t work that way.
— Rachel Joy Scott | From her diary

I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ.

Why Do People Fall Away from Faith?

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:00:00 +0530

On their way back from Shichirigahama beach, Hanaya and her mom engage in a conversation about what causes the hardening of the heart and the falling away of believers. They explore the sobering reality of how people can shipwreck their faith. False prophets, false Christs, false Gospel, and a false church are proliferating among us. How do believers get off track? What throws them into confusion and deception?

Hanaya's mom cites that the fundamental problem is not the ignorance of the truth. There's a basic reason why people do not own up to the truth. As you listen to the words of caution and encouragement in this conversation, tend to the soil of your own heart. Stay anchored, stay alert, and most importantly, stay in love with God.

The most ridiculous thing you can ever say is keep God first, keep God number one. Don't ever say that. Because you're assuming He's in the same category with everyone else. God's in a box all to Himself. There is no second. He's in a category completely separate and distinct from everything else that exists and He's there alone. I labor in my own heart to drive out other loves, competing loyalties. Let us get a greater vision of Him that He might be singular in our hearts.
— Paul Washer

Proverbs 4:18 tells us, “The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” When we walk the path of the righteous or the right path, our walk will become continually brighter no matter how much darkness increases around us. If this is not the case, if we, too, are experiencing increasing darkness, depression, and disorientation, then we have gotten off the right path. If we ask the Lord, He will help us understand where we got off track, but we must make the choice to turn around and be decisive in doing so.

You Read Me Like an Open Book

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 17:00:00 +0530

God created time itself—and carved out a piece of eternity for you to exist in. You are not a random accident or just another number in the crowd. You were intentionally designed by a God who knows you more deeply than you know yourself.

He is all-knowing, ever-present, and because of that—you are never truly alone. A single whisper from Him can shift the direction of your entire life. This isn’t about religion or rituals. This is about a real, personal relationship with the God who made you.

Do you truly know God outside the box of tradition and religion? Are you open to a deeper connection?

Let this message from the Bible awaken something in you. Open your heart, lean in, and explore the life-changing truth of how intimately God knows you. May this invoke curiosity in you to dig deeper and go farther.

Being known by God has deep transforming effects upon the human heart. Namely, it produces love for God.

You Can't Play Around Temptation and Sin

Like Diamonds in the Sky: Shine for Jesus

Wed, 26 Jun 2024 21:00:00 +0530

Do you ever feel like you’re not enough? Are you struggling with self-worth issues? Are some battles we’re fighting so hard to win worth losing? Perhaps they are.

Noriko dreams of becoming a K-pop trainee. For the past three years, she has been submitting videos to showcase her talent, hoping to catch the attention of an agency. Despite her best efforts, she hasn’t received any responses, and lately, she has been questioning her self-worth.

One day, Hanaya and Yuri find Noriko sitting alone on the beach. As they begin talking with her, Noriko opens up about her feelings regarding her struggles with the K-pop trainee auditions. Although she has heard the Gospel and learned about God's love and Jesus, something is holding her back.

The world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.
― 1 John 2:17 | The Bible

The sense that in this universe we are treated as strangers, the longing to be acknowledged, to meet with some response, to bridge some chasm that yawns between us and reality, is part of our inconsolable secret. And surely, from this point of view, the promise of glory, in the sense described, becomes highly relevant to our deep desire. For glory means good report with God, acceptance by God, response, acknowledgment, and welcome into the heart of things. The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last.
― C.S. Lewis | The Weight of Glory

Feeling Stuck? God’s Timing Is Perfect

Tue, 04 Jun 2024 14:00:00 +0530

Life moves in rhythms—times of planting, waiting, growing, and harvest. Whether you're facing delays, frustration, or uncertainty, divine purpose is always at work. Trust God's process. Time spent in preparation is never wasted. Embrace the season you're in. Trust God's perfect timing. Don’t give up—your breakthrough is on the way.

Don't surrender the symphony in your heart to the tyranny of delay. Trust God's timing. It is perfect. Your dream you cherish has a reality attached to it. Frustration is evidence that a greater purpose in you is yet to be fulfilled. You are actually a coiled spring being compressed. Soon that delay will give vent to a divine release and fruit will break forth in your life.

Don’t Overthink: Trust God, Run Into the Wind

Sat, 18 May 2024 01:00:00 +0530

On their way back home from Shichirigahama Beach, Hanaya and Yuri continue their conversation about trusting God with childlike faith instead of overthinking the future. When God nudges us to head in a certain direction, it can feel exciting but also a bit scary since we might only have a glimpse of the first step. But like Abraham, it is better to move forward even if we don’t know exactly where we’re headed. If you find yourself being too cautious, paralyzed by overthinking, or unsure about your next steps, this message and the song are for you.

Better to do something imperfectly in obedience rather than to do nothing. Better to act today rather than wait for that imaginary tomorrow to arrive.
— Michael L. Brown

The unique ways God loves to move should not disturb us. If anything, it should keep our relationship with Him fresh and exciting. For those who love adventure, this is great, while to the timid and rigid, this is frightening, which brings us to this challenge every believer must face— will we live by faith in Him or by fear? Now, the faith and confidence needed to be decisive can easily drift into presumption at times. Still, it is better to err on the side of extreme faith than too little faith. God can correct presumption and premature action. The law of inertia states you cannot steer what is not moving. It is much easier for the Lord to steer us when we are moving. No one passes God’s tests with a perfect score, but in Him, even our failures work for our good.
— Rick Joyner

Song lyrics:

They were young and unaware
A little scared, a little proud
They’d rather live with their questions
Than try to figure them out

They were friendly to all
But never had many friends
They didn’t know where to go
They never made any plans
Just running right into the wind

Ooh they would rather say they didn’t matter
Just so they don’t have to try to be cool
But ooh they were buzzing, living like there wasn’t
Drama going on every day in the news

But look at the way they go
Look at the way they go
Look at the way they go
Making it up as they go
Making it up as they go
Living their life on the run
Couple of kids on the run
Look at the way they go
Look at the way they go

Is There More to Life Than Success?

Sun, 12 May 2024 09:00:00 +0530

Are you trying to figure out your true purpose in life? What if your purpose is bigger than success or people’s approval?

While hanging out at Shichirigahama Beach, Hiroto bumps into Hanaya. As they chat, Hiroto opens up about the pressure he's feeling about his future. Hanaya shares her thoughts and encourages him to think about the bigger questions in life. This video dives into their honest conversation and offers some biblical wisdom, exploring how finding God’s will can help you lead a meaningful life beyond what society expects and short-lived achievements. It’s a call to shift your focus from fleeting goals to something eternal.

Bonus note:

Kevin Zadai shares a supernatural encounter with Jesus in 1992 when he had an out-of-body experience during a routine surgery:

When I met Jesus, He said I want to work with you. He said we are going to rule and reign together, shoulder-to-shoulder for Eternity. He said this life down here is to develop you for your next position. He said you're qualifying down on the earth in this very short amount of time. Then at that point, He took His thumbnail and sliced down through a big long timeline that was in light. And He said that's 10,000 years on the timeline of Eternity. It was just this little slit. He said it was the extension of man. And to me, my life on Earth in that extension with respect to Eternity seemed really insignificant.

However, He said you're qualifying for your next position. So whatever you do down here, with your talents and everything you were given, whatever you did with that, was then placed in your account in heaven, not in a monetary way. But that's where you entered into the Kingdom to work at your next position. And it was interesting because you would think well we're all equal you know, we all get the same thing, we all get eternal life, we all have the same position in Christ and all that.

But what it is, it has to do with that parable of talents. It had to do with the fact that you were given a certain amount and then there was a congruent reward based on each individual on what they had done. But the wood, hay, and stubble were burned up. So what was not of the Spirit, what was not of the Lord, was burnt up. Paul said that some people will go through the fire and there'll be nothing. There'll be no rewards. There'll be nothing left. But they will escape through the fire. They will make it to Heaven but with no rewards.

Rebels of Hope: Fighting Discouragement with Faith

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0530

Feeling disillusioned or worn out by life's battles?

Two high school girls, Hanaya and Yuri, roll out a short message for those struggling with discouragement, confusion, and spiritual warfare. Don't give up. Fight back with faith and truth. Get fired up, stay unshakable, and become a rebel of hope. Watch now and join the resistance against discouragement, anxiety, and fear!

Additional notes:

Satan tries to create an altered reality by cloaking himself in information projection to engineer insecurity and anxiety in you. He wants to fragment you. He knows your trigger points to put you into a tailspin. His minions have studied you. You have become predictable.

The strategy is to trick your mind to convince you of something and give a narrative that diminishes who you really are. That’s the warfare. He wants to discourage and wear you out so that you will not be effective. He is trying to get you to opt out by presenting lies and observed facts as reality.

Every trigger point succeeds when you don’t feel loved and validated. The temptation is to back off and self-medicate your trauma, rejection, or frustration by running to an addiction. We get disillusioned because we do not perceive the truth in its pure form. We don’t see ourselves in the mirror of God’s Word.

To live by the Spirit of God takes readjusting and overriding of your mental and emotional realm. Don’t settle for being a low-watt light. Jesus said a disciple who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher. We lose the edge to improve when we just want to maintain, but maintaining is of the devil.

Walk in harmony with the Holy Spirit. He reveals the truth (true reality). He shows prophetic glimpses concerning your call and assignment. If things take time, stay in there. Some things have to do with the convergence of times and seasons of God in your life. Don’t drown six feet from your destination.

We miss the supernatural because we are looking for the spectacular. If you frame your mind right and listen to the Holy Spirit no matter what’s going on in your everyday life, you will come out fine. Don’t fret. Don’t allow anything to fragment you.
— Kevin Zadai | Warrior Notes

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
— 1 Corinthians 16:13

Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

Metamorphosis: Beholding Is Becoming

Sat, 20 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0530

The Christian journey of becoming is an invitation to behold the glory of the Lord, rather than to obsess over ourselves and what the world thinks of us. In this reflection, Hanaya wrestles with the slow process of transformation—learning to rise above self-focus and worldly distractions in order to behold something far greater.

Beholding is becoming. If there is any key to maturity, it is that. Behold your God in Jesus Christ. Because to see that for what it really is, will renew your mind and transform your life and produce unending worship.
— John Piper

And we all, with unveiled faces, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
— 2 Corinthians 3:18

The Greek word translated “transformed” in this verse is the same word that we translate as “metamorphosis” in English. This is the process of change from which a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The caterpillar is a worm that must crawl on the earth, being conformed to the contours of the earth. Then it goes into a cocoon where it is transformed. However, one of the biggest tests the new creature will face is breaking out of the cocoon, but it is this great struggle that strengthens it so that it can flap its large wings when it is free.

We too go through a great struggle to be transformed into the new creation we are called to be. Breaking free of the old self is the greatest struggle of all. It too is designed by God to strengthen us so that we can soar high above the earth to the heavenly places we are called to abide in. We must not waste our trials. We must not run from the struggle if we are going to become strong enough to be what we are called to be.

Will our hearts yield to the process to enter the cocoon of change and be launched out to fly?

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
— Colossians 3:2 | Romans 12:2

It Takes More Faith to Be an Atheist

Sat, 23 Mar 2024 23:00:00 +0530

On a school trip, Yuri and her classmate Akio get into a discussion about God. Akio dismisses God’s existence. But Yuri challenges his belief in evolution with reasonable logic, critical thinking, and evidence for intelligent design. Akio also raises the question of Hell being unfair.

Can Something Come From Nothing?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47aRphfPhYc

A lot of atheists belittle beliefs that are based on faith. Yet when I look around the world, I find atheism requires much more of a leap of faith. When I come across a finely prepared meal on a table, it would be quite a leap of faith to believe that nothing put it there. And it would be far more reasonable to believe that something must have put it there. So it is with all of creation.
— Matthew Warner

If Evolution is true, then that means, you are merely a molecule in motion dancing to your own DNA. That all you are is matter. There is nothing spiritual about you. You have no soul. There is no objective right or wrong.
— Mark Spence

Atheists have an active belief system with views concerning origins (that the universe and life arose by natural processes); no life after death; the existence of God; how to behave while alive; and so much more. Honest atheists will admit their worldview is a faith. Atheism is a religion! While atheism is a blind faith, its followers will still cry out, “We are not part of a religion!” Why do they plead this? First, if atheism were identified as a religion, atheists fear that their views might get kicked out of public places, like government-run schools. Second, these secularists will be less likely to be able to deceive children into thinking that their teachings (supposedly “neutral”) are not in conflict with the religious beliefs of students.

A Prayer for Raising Godly Kids

Sat, 09 Mar 2024 10:00:00 +0530

A flashback into a diary entry written by Hanaya’s mother during her early years as a young single mom. In a quiet, sacred moment, she pours out a prayer over little Hanaya—committing to raise her not by the world’s standards, but as the Lord’s girl.

Have you ever wondered why some teens, even at 16 or 17, already walk with a depth of faith and maturity that seems far beyond their years? Though still growing, many of them carry a strong sense of identity, values, and purpose grounded in God. It’s rare—but it’s often rooted in an intentional environment created by parents, or a single parent, for their children’s Godly growth. They authentically model their own walk with Jesus to their kids.

God is after the gaze of this generation. He is after their focus. So, as a parent, how do you help your kids perceive Jesus not as a vague murky distant concept, but as a living and dynamic presence in everything they do? What are your priorities when you pray for your kids? What do you think matters the most from an eternal perspective?

If they learn to engage with God early and discern the voice of the Holy Spirit, they’ll be equipped to make wise choices, resist pitfalls, and boldly represent Jesus wherever they go.

We don’t train ourselves so we don’t train our children. Everything you believe in has to be practical and applicable for your children. That means you yourself need to be fully convinced. Teach them how to engage with the Lord. For your kids, you should always present the supernatural to them. You should always give them the alternative to ask God for help first. Teach them to pray first. Teach them to believe God’s Word first and encourage them not to wait for someone else to do it for them.

God of the Endless Blue Sky

Sat, 02 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0530

Led by the Holy Spirit, Hanaya—a teenager from Japan—finds herself at the right place and moment to meet Enkhtuya, a girl from a small Mongolian town. Just minutes into their conversation, Hanaya begins to introduce her to the God of the endless blue sky. And as she senses Enkhtuya is actively listening, she begins to unpack more truth.

Mongolia is poetically called the 'Land of the Endless Blue Sky', as it has over 260 days of clear blue sky. Apart from Buddhism, Tengrism, the worship of the sky and nature, is still practiced in Mongolia today. According to this belief, the sky is the father, and the earth is the mother of all beings in the universe.

This clip was inspired by a dream the Lord gave me during the night. In the dream, I was suddenly teleported to a foreign land, walking along a snow-covered road that felt like somewhere in Eurasia. Just ahead of me walked a girl who appeared to be around 17 or 18 years old. She looked sad, so I approached her and gently began to speak about God and His love. I only shared two or three simple truths, but as she listened, I could tell her heart was deeply touched—she had never heard about God in that way before.

As I was getting ready to leave, she looked at me and said, “Why don’t you come to my place for some tea?” Then she looked up at the sky and added, “It’s a beautiful day.” The vivid blueness of the sky struck me in that moment—I could feel her openness, her quiet longing to hear more about God.

Make the Darkness Nervous

Sat, 10 Feb 2024 10:00:00 +0530

Jesus sends Hanaya to Mongolia to carry out a mission. The darkness tries to intimidate her, but she doesn't back off.

This clip was inspired by a dream that my wife had a few years ago. In the dream, my wife and I were walking down a road, minding our own business. We saw demonic forces releasing darkness over a place. We stopped and thought we must do something about it. We moved in the direction of the darkness. My wife rebuked the demonic forces. They started feeling uncomfortable and afraid. Then she heard a voice from behind saying, "You’re the Children of the Light".

It's pretty clear what the Lord was showing through this dream. If we never go, we will never know. If we don't show up and do something, the darkness remains unchallenged. There's no resistance. The enemy keeps stealing, killing, and destroying.

The light of the Gospel is to be lit in the dark. The enemy convinces us that it's too dark and too late to make a difference. He makes us overthink and doubt. So we hesitate to show up and do something.

Instead of counting the bullets that are coming at you, count how many you've expelled out of your clip. It's not how many are fired at you, it's how many you have fired.

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God. Jesus showed up and made the darkness nervous. He destroyed the works of the devil. When we show up, God shows up. Boldness and endurance come when you know that the Lord has sent you. You didn't go because it was a good idea. You heard Him.

Show up with your natural and spiritual gifting, maybe practical Kingdom solutions to problems, and seize the opportunities to share the Gospel. When you speak His Word, He backs it up, releasing hope, healing, deliverance, signs, and wonders. The yoke of darkness, fear, and hopelessness over people begins to break.

It's the smallest spark that can light the dark.

I don't want to be a firecracker. I want to be an atomic bomb dropped in the devil's camp.

Jesus: How Far Will You Go, Hanaya?

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 12:00:00 +0530

Jesus prepares the heart of a teenage girl, Hanaya, to embrace a selfless life of obedience and missions in a self-seeking, attention-wanting world. He is calling the next generation of believers to count the cost, die to self, and complete the Great Commission—no matter the opposition.

This clip was inspired by the title of a book 'Live to be Forgotten' by Patrick Fung. The phrase 'Live to be Forgotten' hits you hard in a time where there is so much love of self, even among the believers in Christ. This message is a call to radical discipleship, Kingdom purpose, and eternal perspective.

Will you go where He sends you?

Listen now and be stirred to live a life that bears fruit for eternity.

My concern is that scripture has told us clearly that we are all to be going, and the reason the Lord left us behind is to do the job he told us to do. So we’d better get equipped to do it, instead of living this life as if this life is it. It’s not, this is a very short life. And eternal life is forever. We’re going to feel stupid for eternity if we wasted this one.
— Jackie Pullinger

Even though in the very last days of history, the love of many will grow cold, there will be a people who have white-hot, not cold, love for Jesus in the face of hatred, persecution, and killing. The Great Commission will be completed by them. The price will be very high. Not so high that it is not worth it. It will not happen without the price of opposition and suffering. In fact, the price is not just the result but the strategy of the purpose.

Stranger on Earth: Longing for Jesus in a Hard World

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 10:00:00 +0530

We live in a world full of noise and illusions—where countless things compete for our attention. Not all of them are bad, but many can quietly pull our hearts away from Jesus and blur our sense of purpose.

This spoken word piece follows Hanaya as she spends a few days in the vibrant city of Tokyo. Surrounded by the lights, the movement, and the various attractions, she reflects on her journey—her calling, her longing, and the quiet perseverance required to walk with Jesus in a world that pulls in every other direction.

We are not home yet. We’re pilgrims passing through. And in the midst of all the distractions, this poetry is a reminder: we’re not here for ourselves—we’re here to glorify Him.

If you love Jesus, this will resonate. This is for those who don’t just need Him—they want Him. Let this be a spark to reignite your passion and purpose. Listen. Reflect. Let it stir your heart again.

Don’t settle for second, third, or fourth place. The Apostle Paul urged us to run in such a way as to win the prize.

Every faith adventure has risks. God will take you on a winding road to your destination. Like Abraham, who journeyed without knowing the destination, we are called to step out in faith—even when the road ahead is unclear and things feel blurry.

We have many settlers, so few goers. Courage isn't the absence of fear; rather, it's making a brave choice despite fear.

Perhaps you sense a calling to engage in one of the seven mountains of societal influence: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government. It’s time to take that step!

Be inspired as you listen to Hanaya’s strong resolve as she reflects on God’s call to go. With a fearless heart, she declares her commitment to God’s purpose, to inspire the next generation, pioneer new paths, and bring the light of the Gospel into darkness.

To Seek God is the Greatest Adventure

Fri, 02 Jun 2023 15:00:00 +0530

The greatest journey of all is truly knowing God. Do you have a personal, intimate relationship with Him, or do you only have a superficial understanding of who He is?

Many stop at the beauty of creation without seeking the One who made it. However, for those who are willing to explore deeper, there are mysteries to uncover, rewards to experience, and a chance for transformation.

You’re meant to have a close relationship with God, and He wants you to seek Him out. How far are you ready to go on that journey?

Hanaya reflects on what others might be missing out on.

To fall in love with God is the greatest of all romances; to seek Him, the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement.
— Saint Augustine

From the Bible:

God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
— Psalm 53:2

But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
— Hebrews 11:6

Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. Let not the mighty man glory in his might. Nor let the rich man glory in his riches. But let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me.
— Jeremiah 9:23-24

You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

Call these lungs to sing
Once again, I will praise

Your name cannot be overcome
Your name is alive forever lifted high
Your name cannot be overcome

Ever Hearing, Never Understanding

Fri, 14 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0530

The seed (the Word of God) is perfect. But the soil (our hearts) is the issue. For where our treasure is, there our heart will be. We can give our physical ears to hear the Word, but with a callous heart.

If we don't truly value understanding the truth, the knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom will be hidden. And every seed of truth will be tested in our lives before it can bear fruit.

Scripture reference: Matthew 13:3-23

Who is This Who Darkens Counsel

Sun, 02 Jan 2022 14:00:00 +0530

After losing his health, wealth, and children in inexplicable tragedies, Job questions God's integrity. God responds, "Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man, I will question you, and you shall answer Me".

When Job got the answer, it wasn’t the one he wanted. He was undone by the questions God asked him.

Like Job, we may wrestle in suffering and try to question God’s ways, but His response reminds us of our limited understanding and His boundless wisdom. He is the Creator, sovereign over all things, whose purposes are higher than ours. True wisdom is not in demanding answers, but in humbling ourselves before Him, trusting His character even when we cannot trace His hand

Wisdom and Understanding for Sexual Purity

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 19:00:00 +0530

Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your nearest kin, that they may keep you from the immoral woman.

Wisdom and understanding are to be kept close—valued like family—so they guard the heart and direct our steps in purity. Scripture repeatedly warns that without wisdom, the heart is easily drawn away, but when we treasure God’s instruction, we are protected from destructive paths and led into life and stability.

True purity is not only about avoiding sin, but about loving what is good. As we walk with wisdom, listen to instruction, and keep God’s Word near, He strengthens us to turn from temptation and remain faithful in heart and conduct

God's Will for You: Sexual Holiness

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 11:00:00 +0530

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). In this KJV version, the word 'conversation' can be translated as behavior, and 'fornication' as sexual immorality.

We combine the power of the Holy Spirit with the authority of the name of Jesus to rout the enemy. We do not engage the enemy in our own power and authority.

Do Not Love the World

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 09:00:00 +0530

As Christians, we need to know who we are in Christ and learn to always reject negative thoughts. The moment you discover yourself and your identity in Christ, your value comes back; your worth comes back, and no opinion of man can devalue it.

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 12:00:00 +0530

God is our refuge and shepherd. As we dwell in His presence, we abide under His protection and rest in His peace. He leads us beside still waters, restores our souls, and guides us in righteousness. In every danger, He is our shield; in every need, our provider. We need not fear, for He is with us—covering us with His faithfulness and leading us safely through every season.

As believers, we can know in our hearts that God is Sovereign and strong. We can believe that His plans for us are for good and that He has a blessing in store as we follow after Him. Yet often, when life presses and things feel stressed when problems overwhelm, and hardships come our way, our focus gets blurred.

We forget, that the very God who created this entire universe, who holds the stars in place and knows the exact number of hairs on our head, also knows our way. That His favor rests on us as we seek after Him first, and He holds the power to cause things to happen in just a moment, that would otherwise take us years to do.

He can line up our pathways to cross with others He wants us to meet. He can open doors that leave us surprised at how they open. He can close doors that He knows are not the best for us.

He has a plan, in the good, and in every hard thing we face.

Psalm 63 | 46 | 121: God our refuge

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 13:00:00 +0530
