Teenagers and Reading the Bible

Reading the Bible is not just for pastors, parents, or Sunday School teachers—it’s for you too, right now, as a teenager with purpose. You are not too young to hear God clearly, and He wants to speak to you through His Word. Think of the Bible as spiritual fuel for your heart and mind. Just as your body gets tired without food, your spirit grows weak without regular time in Scripture. But here’s the key: don’t just read the Bible like a schoolbook full of facts. Read it like a letter from someone who knows you, loves you, and wants to guide you into a life of purpose and joy. That’s the difference between reading for information and reading for transformation.

Transformation happens when you don’t just read the Word but sit with it, think on it, and let it soak into your decisions and desires. This is what the Bible calls meditation—not emptying your mind, but filling it with God’s truth. When you read something like, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13), pause and say it out loud. Let it become your confidence when you face fear, your motivation when you feel lazy, and your anchor when you’re under pressure. Starting with the Gospels or Proverbs is a great way to begin because they are rich in the teachings of Jesus and wisdom for daily life.

Here’s something practical to try: each morning, pick one verse and carry it with you throughout the day. Write it down, set it as your phone wallpaper, or repeat it quietly in your heart during breaks. Over time, you’ll notice that God's Word will start shaping how you think, how you speak, and how you handle challenges. So let me ask you—what verse has spoken to you recently, and why did it stand out? That’s not just a memory test; it’s an invitation to build a relationship with God through His Word. Because the more His Word gets into you, the more your life begins to reflect His purpose for you.

Sex and Lust

*Sex & LUST* I need you to understand that LUST is different from SEX. Lust is a desire in the heart to gain a sexual experience with some one. Sex is a decision and action. Your problem is not sex but LUST. Lust is the major challenge of teenagers. If there is no LUST at work, sex won't step in. Lust always shows up in your mind or head as a suggestion. The moment you give it attention, it settles and becomes your master. There is nothing like unplanned sex...or temptation that showed up accidentally. Temptation or rape is an opportunity that met a prepared mind trained or nurtured by LUST. Guard your heart against LUST via Gods Word and it will become easy to deal with the issue of sex. Sex is a choice, a decision and an option or suggestion. It is not a helpless feeling. It's deliberate in nature consciously or unconsciously. The Holy Spirit is aware of your struggle. Come to him un-ashamed. HOPE EXPRESSION celebrates you. # PrinceVictorMatthew

Jesus is the Truth - Part 1

You are welcome to this Revelation.  “I AM THE TRUTH” is the very statement of Jesus Christ about himself. There is a wrong concept about Jesus; Jesus is not here to show you the truth – HE IS THE TRUTH. Jesus is not here to point you to any one – he is here to point you to Himself. In the Gospel of Jesus, don’t try to separate the truth from Jesus. There is no truth without Jesus. Any truth without Jesus is not the truth. You need to understand that we are living with the two concepts. There are two types of truth. We have “truth” - this truth is all about things that please the five senses but disagree with God. The “TRUTH” is divine in nature. Truth is natural in natural. Truth is generally accepted but the truth is accepted through the help of the Holy Spirit. The truth is all about the Father but the truth is all about self desire. The truth produces humility but truth brings pride. Every thing you can see and touch has two version “truth” and “the truth”. ...

Teenager, Who Are You Really?

Have you ever felt like you’re trying to be someone you’re not? Maybe you feel pressured to fit in, to look a certain way, or to meet expectations that don’t align with who you truly are. The world is loud, constantly telling you who you should be, how you should act, and what you should believe. But have you ever stopped to ask, Who does God say I am? 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” You are not defined by your past mistakes, your insecurities, or the labels people place on you. In Christ, you are made new. Your worth isn’t found in popularity, achievements, or how many people approve of you. Your worth is found in the One who created you. Psalm 139:14 reminds you, “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Think about that for a moment. You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. Every part of you—your personality, your gifts, your dreams—was intentionally designed by God....
