How I Enter God’s Presence Every Morning

People often ask me, “What exactly do you do in your prayer time?” For nearly 40 years, I’ve started my day by setting aside an hour to draw near to God. Usually early in the morning, before the noise of the day begins, I take that time to focus completely on Him. I don’t follow a rigid formula, but I do follow a pattern that has helped me stay consistent and connected. I base my prayer time on the Lord’s Prayer and the pattern of the Old Testament Tabernacle. I begin with thanksgiving. Then I move into praise and worship. I take time to cleanse my heart before God, confessing anything that needs to be put right. I speak Scripture out loud. I pray in the Spirit. I intercede for people. I declare God’s promises over situations in my life and in the lives of others. It’s not complicated. And it’s not mechanical. It’s fellowship.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

How To Read The Bible So It Actually Builds Your Faith

If your passion for the Bible has grown cold, this episode will reignite it. In this message, we unpack the life-changing power of God’s Word and why it is far more than history, poetry, or a list of rules. Scripture is life to your spirit, health to your soul, clarity in confusion, and strength in temptation. Just as Jesus defeated the enemy by speaking the Word, we are reminded that when we plant Scripture in our hearts and speak it out, it builds our faith and equips us for spiritual battle. The Word renews the mind, brings wisdom, restores joy, and gives clear direction in a world that constantly redefines truth. We also explore five practical ways to receive the Word: hearing, reading, studying, memorising, and meditating. Meditation is where Scripture truly takes root, where it moves from information to transformation. The Bible warns us, guides us, cleanses us, and rewards those who live by it. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to fall in love with the Word again and allow the Holy Spirit to awaken fresh hunger, fresh revelation, and fresh power in your everyday walk with God.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

How to Know God’s Will for Your Life (Without the Guesswork)

How can you know God’s will for your life without second-guessing every step you take? In this empowering message, Ps Phil Pringle teaches that God’s will is not a hidden mystery waiting to be discovered, but a relationship that invites surrender and trust. Instead of waiting for a dramatic sign or an audible voice, we are called to walk forward in faith, knowing that God guides those who are already willing to say “yes.” Drawing from decades of pastoral wisdom and key scriptures like Psalm 32, Isaiah 30, and James 3, this message unpacks how God leads us through peace, wisdom, counsel, and His Word. You’ll be encouraged to make decisions with a sound mind, trust God to redirect when needed, and embrace the freedom of walking with Him day by day. If you have ever struggled with indecision, fear of making the wrong choice, or over-spiritualising every step, this teaching will bring clarity and peace. God’s will is good, pleasing, and perfectly fitted for you. As you commit your ways to Him, He promises to direct your steps and take joy in your journey.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

How To Know What God Is Calling You To

This insightful devotional explores one of the most common and deeply personal questions believers ask: How do I know the will of God? Drawing from decades of pastoral experience, the message anchors us in Romans 12:2, revealing that God’s will is not mysterious or frightening, but good, acceptable, and perfect. Rather than being dark or restrictive, God’s will carries a deep sense of inner rightness—a harmony where timing, people, purpose, and peace come together, even when circumstances are challenging. A key emphasis is the role of peace as God’s internal guide. From Colossians 3:15, we’re reminded that the peace of God is meant to rule in our hearts—acting as the final decision-maker. Confusion, chaos, and inner turmoil are not signs of divine leading; peace is. Even when something seems spiritually noble, moving ahead without peace can be presumption rather than obedience. The message also gently reframes our understanding of timing. God may give us a vision long before He fulfils it, using seasons of waiting and trial to transform us into the person capable of carrying that calling. Biblical examples like Peter, Jacob, and Paul reveal a consistent pattern: promises are given early, but character is formed over time. Paul’s journey to Rome—fulfilled through shipwreck, imprisonment, and unexpected hardship—shows that God’s will can look very different from our expectations, yet still be perfectly aligned with His purpose. Ultimately, this devotional calls us to value God’s presence above comfort or convenience. When His presence is with us, even difficult circumstances can be the perfect will of God. True assurance doesn’t come from ideal conditions, but from knowing we are exactly where God wants us to be, walking in peace, trust, and surrender.   Find a C3 Church Near You: https://www.c3churchglobal.com [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/]   If you want to give to help C3 Church Global plant new churches around the world, head to https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving [https://www.c3churchglobal.com/giving]   Follow Me On Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/@Philpringle?sub_confirmation=1]  https://instagram.com/philpringle [https://instagram.com/philpringle] https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle [https://www.facebook.com/psphilpringle] https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl [https://www.tiktok.com/@philpringl] https://twitter.com/philpringle [https://twitter.com/philpringle]    Purchase a copy of my books today: https://philpringle.com/store [https://philpringle.com/store]

When Trials Reveal Your True Strength: Peter's Journey from Denial to Destiny

This powerful message takes us deep into Luke 22:31, where we witness one of the most mystifying exchanges in Scripture: Satan actually asking God for permission to test Peter. What unfolds is a masterclass in understanding divine purpose within our trials. The imagery of wheat being sifted becomes central—when wheat is thrown into the air, the wind blows away the chaff while the true seed falls back to the ground. Whatever can be blown away in our lives during trials will be removed, leaving only what is genuine and valuable. Peter's greatest weakness, his fear of man's opinion, became the very area Satan targeted. Yet Jesus didn't pray that Peter would avoid the trial; He prayed that Peter's faith would not fail. This distinction is crucial for us to understand: God often allows us to go through difficulties not to destroy us, but to strengthen us. Peter's journey from denying Christ three times to boldly preaching at Pentecost and converting 3,000 souls shows us that our moments of failure are not the end of our story. They are often the beginning of our transformation. The same weakness that caused Peter to crumble became his greatest strength after the Holy Spirit filled him. We discover that Jesus is never disillusioned with us because He never had illusions about us in the first place. He sees our failures as opportunities for transformation, and our trials as pathways to becoming who He envisioned us to be.
