After the conclusion of the General Conference in Johannesburg South Africa on Saturday, 2000 plus delegates, staff, volunteers and observers began the arduous task of returning home. Through buses, cars, trains, and planes it is good to hear of these representatives and participants to this historical event compared to the Council of Nicaea, one by one are returning home. We are especially thankful to share Isaya Miller is safely home after 24 plus hours of travel. We give God thanks and praise !

Friends this is the second devotional for today a response to this morning. Desiring not to leave the work of the Holy Spirit unacknowledged I feel I need to share an evening response to the morning devotional - You won't understand this response if you haven't read this mornings devotional for Day 1 of Praying September. Take a few minutes to spend with God sharing your own thoughts and how you are hearing God speak. Until tomorrow may God's blessings surround you.

AN EVENING RESPONSE –

At the close of the day the words from scripture have brought to mind some ideas and notions I would rather remain buried in the deep recesses of my heart, but it is in that place that a circumcision took place to remove the anguish and even despair

I thought about the men who carried the man to Jesus at all cost. What if the outcome would have had a different result. Of course we have to read a little deeper into this story from the other Gospels: Matthew 9:1-8, Mark 2:1-12, and Luke 5:17-25.

I have to share that after reading the few short verses I read and shared this morning from Mark 2:1-5 as I looked for the simple answer and turned to each Gospel account it doesn’t say that the man was physically healed in Luke until a little later. I felt shaky – did these men carry their friend all the way just to receive forgiveness for themselves? I thought as I contemplated in my heart the person I have been praying for today for physical healing without considering the ultimate healing of the soul.

Not only did this man according to Luke leave healed of this infirmity but left joyously. How did the four who carried him there, it doesn’t really say. We can only assume that they left forgiven but did they receive it.

How did my praying for that one person today actually there were a couple I was earnestly praying for including for grief, for travel, for healing, for hope, and for those searching for more. How did it change me? My journal will reflect that it kept me from being so selfish in my thoughts, coming to grips with the deep pain in my heart because I have not surrendered it to God.

My prayer at the end of the day will be two fold – Remove those things that I have not yet surrendered that keep me from drawing nearer to you and teach me unselfish love for you and others in the way I pray.

Lord hear my prayers as I surrender the night to you, be in my sleep, speaking to my soul and transforming me into being better for you. Amen

30 Days of Prayer

Carrying One Another to Jesus

Pastor Calvin Cook

Day 1 of 30 — Praying for One Another

Today begins a 30 day intentional, personal and communal focus on prayer. Join with me on this daily deep journey. I am depending on the Holy Spirit to guide me and you as we set apart this time in the prayer room.

As we begin these thirty days of prayer, we begin by praying for one another.

The scripture I am drawn to this morning is from Mark 2:1-5 “A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

The story in Mark 2 has always been powerful to me. I have always loved this scripture, been drawn to it, questioned the why of it, and even tried to put myself in picture and what it must have felt like to be the one carrying their friend to Jesus and the one being carried. Four men had a friend who could not get to Jesus on his own. We are not told how far they carried him or how heavy the journey became. We know nothing about these men, their ages, their names, where they were from, or even where they stood with Jesus. We do not even know if the friend wanted carried there or if their friend believed healing was possible. We only know that these men cared enough to pick him up and carry him to Jesus, these men were faith filled trusting in what they heard about Jesus, and believed in what Jesus could do and who Jesus was and is.

When they arrived, the house was full. They could not get through the door. Most of us would have either gave up or tried to negotiate their way through the crowd. They could have turned around and said, “We tried.” Instead, they climbed onto the roof, made an opening, and lowered their friend into the presence of Jesus. On a personal experience I saw this lived out in a prayer gathering in Haiti and most recently in our time a time of prayer where a whole community came together to pray and still is praying for Ed Johnson.

Scripture says that when Jesus saw their faith, He spoke to the man lying on the mat.

Sometimes we are strong enough to walk into the presence of Jesus ourselves. At other times, life becomes so painful, confusing, or exhausting that we need someone to carry us. There are days when our own faith feels weak and we need the faith of others to help us get close to Jesus.

This is one of the great gifts of Christian fellowship: we do not have to make the journey alone.

Prayer is one way we carry people to Jesus. We may not be able to repair their circumstances, remove their pain, answer their questions, or make their decisions. But we can lift them before the Lord. We can keep praying when the way appears blocked. We can believe for them when they are struggling to believe for themselves.

There may be someone in your life today who is lying on a mat of grief, sickness, addiction, discouragement, fear, or disappointment. They may not have the strength to pray. They might not even know what to ask God to do.

Will you carry them?

Do not worry about finding perfect words. Simply bring that person before Jesus. Speak their name. Tell Jesus what you know—and trust Him with everything you do not know.

And when obstacles appear, do not give up. Faith sometimes has to climb onto the roof and find another way.

Today, choose one person and commit to carrying them to Jesus in prayer. We may never fully understand what God does through our prayers, but we can trust that bringing someone into the presence of Jesus is never wasted.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for the people who have carried me in prayer when I could not carry myself. Today, I bring before You someone who needs Your presence, grace, healing, and strength. I cannot fix everything they are facing, but I can carry them to You. Help me pray faithfully and refuse to give up when obstacles arise. Let them experience Your love and know that they are not alone. Give me the faith to keep bringing them into Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today’s prayer step: Choose one person, speak their name before Jesus, and carry them faithfully in prayer throughout this day.

Today just a few hours ago - the Articles of Faith of the Global Methodist Church - were overwhelmingly and unanimously adopted by the General Conference.
Now as long as we the church strive in our individual lives and commitment to God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit strive to live into what we believe matters.
The Articles of Faith, our core doctrinal statements for the Global Methodist Church will be what will guide us in the way we exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.

As we have been throughout these days of General Conference been praying from our 14 day Prayer Guide. The voice of our prayers these last days from around the world must never stop as we continue to pray for the movement of God until the whole world hears and knows.

Here is the final prayer on this final day of the General Conference but may it be a springboard - a covenant made to pray for the move of God and God's church every day.

September 6th – Matthew 28:16 – 20
Heavenly Father, King of all kings, we come before you at this moment and humble ourselves. As we tear down the tents that were built here in South Africa and prepare to travel back to our homes to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, may we be connected with God our Creator, and one another, through our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Help us to forget about the past and focus into the future of God’s will for our church.

Our Lord, you have promised us that you will never forsake us and you will be with us to the ends of the world. Help us to trust this promise. Our Lord, you have commanded us to baptize those who repent and teach them to obey all your commandments. Help us to go and do the same. Therefore, go Saints! May you travel safely, may our Lord protect all your servants that blessed these mountains of South Africa during General Conference. May all the proceedings that took place here be honored, we pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mr Patrick Magaqa, South Africa Conference

In the final days of the General Conference we continue to pray for important decisions yet to be made. As the Lay and Clergy Delegates begin their return trip home we are prayerfully surrounding them with travel mercies.

Let us pray together from our 14 day Prayer Guide

September 4th John 17:23
Beloved God, our Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You to express our gratitude for Your immense love toward us.
It is our prayer that, just as Jesus Christ is in us and You are in Him, this unity may be evident at every moment of the Global Methodist Church General Conference. We come from different regions, cultures, languages, and customs. But in you, Lord, we are one through the Holy Spirit who dwells within us.
May the gifts You have given us, the skills You have bestowed upon us, the abilities You have forged within us, complement each other throughout the entire process, being one Body in Christ Jesus.
Guide us, Lord, to walk together in unity, that we may be of one mind, that cultural barriers may not be a limit, but rather that the richness of each culture may be manifested because we worship the same God, we praise the same Creator and Lord, and in you we are one. Amen

Walking with Jesus

The Keep

Pastor Calvin Cook

September 4, 2026 — Day 40 of 40

“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:25

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

This series of devotionals about Walking with Jesus began July 10, 2026. However it is a reflections from a life time of walking with Jesus. The lessons I’ve learned along the way, the regrets that I have, the joys I’ve experienced, the forgiveness and redemption that I needed to experience, and the hesitation that I’ve had when complete surrender and making right decisions was not part of the walk. Through it all Jesus has continued to remind me “Follow Me” even when the walk seems difficult.

Years ago I worked for a large sales company and realized how very difficult keeping consistent, experiencing rejection, and keeping focused really was. At the end of the day the sales manager would ask “What are your keeps from the day.” I never really understood what that meant till I entered into strong consideration with a prayerful attitude of what walking with Jesus is really like and “the keeps”, the things I never want to forget that I experienced and learned in the walk with Jesus, my “keeps” from the journey.

I wasn't completely sure where these forty days of thoughtful devotional reflection would take us. I knew the subject was walking with Jesus, but like most journeys with Jesus, I have discovered some things along the way that I wasn't expecting.

There have been days when we talked about listening. Other days were about surrender. We have talked about prayer, distractions, excuses, difficult roads, hearing God's voice, taking up our cross, going where we didn't plan to go, and bearing fruit.

And now we have arrived at Day 40 of devotionals written. It actually has been 51 days since this journey started but – life happened or there was silence on some of those days. Looking back for reason it is always God’s purpose.

But there is something I want us to understand: We have not arrived. This is not the finish line. Maybe the most important thing I can say after forty days of writing about walking with Jesus is: Just keep walking.

Paul writes in Galatians 5:25, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.”

I love those words—keep in step.

Walking with Jesus is not something we accomplish and check off our list. We don't graduate from following Jesus. We don't reach a point where we can say, “I've learned enough. I've prayed enough. I've served enough. I've followed long enough.”

Tomorrow morning, the invitation will still be there: “Follow me.”

There will be days when following Jesus is exciting and the direction seems clear. There will also be days when we wonder where God is leading. There will be mountaintops and valleys. There will be victories and disappointments. There will be prayers answered exactly as we hoped and other prayers where we will have to trust God when we don't understand. There may even be days when we become tired.

That is why Paul's words in Galatians 6:9 are so important: “Let us not become weary in doing good.”

Paul doesn't pretend we won't become tired. He reminds us not to give up. I think there is a difference. Personally I am often tired, but in my soul, my spiritual heart I feel a fire burning like never before.

You can be tired and still be faithful. You can be disappointed and still follow. You can have questions and still trust. You can stumble and get back up. You can figure out that the road isn't going where you expected and still take the next step with Jesus.

So after forty days, what do we do now?

I believe there are some “Keeps”.

Keep listening.

Make room for God. Pray. Open your Bible. Sit quietly. Listen for the Holy Spirit. Don't become so busy doing things for God that you stop spending time with God.

Keep following.

When Jesus shows you the next step, take it. You may not understand where the whole road is going. You don't have to. Follow Jesus with the step you have been given today.

Keep growing.

Don't become satisfied with where you are spiritually. Allow the Holy Spirit to keep changing you. Let there be more love, more grace, more holiness, more compassion, more generosity, and more of Jesus visible in your life.

Keep serving.

Look around you. Someone needs encouragement. Someone needs prayer. Someone needs help. Someone needs to know that Jesus loves them. Following Jesus will eventually lead us toward other people.

Keep bearing fruit.

Our lives should increasingly show evidence that we have been walking with Jesus. Not because we are trying to impress anyone, but because Jesus is changing us from the inside out.

And when you become weary—keep walking.

Rest when you need to rest. Pray when you don't know what to do. Ask someone to walk beside you when the road becomes difficult. But don't give up on what God is doing in you and through you.

I started this journey with a personal desire to better understand what it means to walk with Jesus. Thanks for journeying with me. I hope it has been life changing and that there are those keeps that we will always carry with us.

Today I realize that perhaps the answer has been right in front of us all along.

Hear His voice.

Answer His call.

Take the next step.

Stay close.

And tomorrow, do it again. Regardless of where the road leads, continue to follow Jesus.

Day 40 isn't the end.

Tomorrow is simply Day 41.

And Jesus is still saying: “Follow me.”

So lets keep walking with Jesus

Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for walking with me through these forty days. Thank You for what You have taught me, where You have challenged me, and the ways You are still changing me. But Lord, don't let me stop here. Help me keep in step with Your Spirit. When I am tired, give me strength. When I am distracted, call me back. When I stumble, help me get up. When I cannot see the road ahead, give me enough faith to take the next step. Use my life to bear fruit for Your Kingdom and to help others discover what it means to walk with You. Tomorrow, and every day You give me, may I hear Your invitation again and answer with my life: Yes, Jesus. I will follow You. Amen.

Keeping in Step and Bearing Fruit

Pastor Calvin Cook

September 3, 2026 — Day 39 of 40

“We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.” — Colossians 1:9–10

As we come near the end of these forty days of thinking about what it means to walk with Jesus, I keep coming back to a simple question:

How do we keep walking with Jesus after these forty days are over?

It is one thing to begin the journey. It is another thing to keep walking.

Last night I paused, and at an invitation that I would call Holy Spirit-inspired, I felt the urging to attend a time of prayer that my brother in Christ, Ted, had felt led to have at his church. My schedule was clear, and I really had no excuses, so I stepped in with a few others simply to be present with one another and, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, with Jesus.

With no real agenda, we prayed, we sang, we listened—and we were changed.

Ted shared a reading from Colossians 1 that continued to circulate in my heart and soul through the night. It brings me to this place this morning to really consider what walking with Jesus means.

Paul's prayer in Colossians 1 gives us a picture of what that walk looks like. He prays that believers would know God's will, live lives worthy of the Lord, bear fruit, grow in their knowledge of God, and be strengthened by His power.

Those words remind me that walking with Jesus is not standing still. There are steps we must continue to take.

First, we must listen for God's direction. I think I have heard that a few times throughout these forty-plus days!

Paul prayed that they would be filled with the knowledge of God's will. We cannot follow Jesus while constantly insisting that the walk be according to our terms. Walking with Jesus requires listening. It requires prayer, Scripture, and allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our steps.

Second, we must take the next step of obedience.

Knowing what God wants is not enough. Eventually, we have to move. There are times when I would like God to show me the entire road ahead. Most often, however, God seems to show me enough for the next step. Faith means taking that step and trusting Him with what comes afterward.

Third, we must stay close enough to Jesus to grow.

Paul speaks about “growing in the knowledge of God.” I don't think he is simply talking about knowing more information about God. We can know a lot about someone without really knowing them. Walking with Jesus means developing a deeper relationship with Him.

And then comes something important:

We should be bearing fruit.

If I have been walking with Jesus, there ought to eventually be evidence of that walk.

More love. More grace. More patience. More compassion. More willingness to forgive. More concern for those who are hurting. More desire to serve. More courage to share Jesus with someone else.

Fruit does not appear because we try harder to look religious. Fruit grows because we remain connected to Jesus.

There will also be days when the walk becomes difficult. That is why Paul prays that God's people would be “strengthened with all power according to his glorious might” (Colossians 1:11).

We don't walk in our strength alone.

Maybe that is one of the greatest lessons of these forty days. Walking with Jesus is not about having everything figured out. It is about staying close enough to hear His voice, trusting Him enough to follow His direction, and being willing to take the next step.

So today I am asking myself:

Am I still moving with Jesus, or have I become comfortable standing where I am?

Listen. Follow. Stay close. Grow. Bear fruit.

And when the road gets difficult, depend upon His strength.

And if you have grown tired and found it easier to rest along the way, maybe it is time to get up and walk with Jesus again.

The call—“Follow me”—is still there. Now the rest is up to you.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, keep me close to You. Help me hear Your voice and recognize the direction of Your Spirit. Give me courage to take the next step when You lead me. Continue to change my heart so that my life bears fruit that points others toward You. When I become tired, strengthen me. When I become distracted, draw me back. And wherever You lead, help me remain faithful enough to keep walking with You. Amen.
