A Prayer for the Year Ahead: May Yahweh’s Purposes Prevail

Jan 28th, 2026 10:00 AM

What happens when our plans collide with God’s purpose?In this episode, Omar Calvillo of From Wrong to Strong Ministries shares the verse the Lord placed on his heart as a guiding word for 2026, Proverbs 19:21. “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”Out of this Scripture comes a simple yet weighty prayer, “May Yahweh’s purposes prevail.” This is more than a phrase. It is a heart posture.In this devotional, we explore the tension between planning and surrender, action and obedience, vision and trust. Scripture reminds us that while we are called to plan wisely and work faithfully, it is God who establishes our steps, builds the house, and brings lasting fruit.If you are stepping into a new season, carrying big plans, or navigating uncertainty in leadership, ministry, family, or life, this message is meant to anchor your heart in peace and realign your focus on what truly lasts.Let this year be marked not just by activity, but by obedience.Not just by vision, but by surrender.Not just by plans fulfilled, but by God’s purposes accomplished.Send us a textSupport the show Support our ministry → Text WRONG2STRONG to 53555 or via this link: https://givebutter.com/fwts Website: fromwrongtostrong.org https://youtube.com/@fromwrongtostrong Email: omar@fromwrongtostrong.org

From Persecutor to Purpose | How God Uses Broken Pasts for His Glory

Jan 21st, 2026 10:00 AM

What happens when God interrupts a life headed in the wrong direction?In this two-minute devotional, Cisco Terrazas reflects on the powerful transformation of Saul in Acts 9 and the truth that no one is beyond God’s reach. Once feared as a violent persecutor of believers, Saul encounters Jesus on the road to Damascus and becomes Paul, a chosen instrument to carry the gospel to the world.This message reminds us that God is not limited by human failure, past mistakes, or even evil intentions. What looks unusable to people, God sees as redeemable. He transforms hearts, redirects paths, and uses even the darkest chapters for His greater purpose.If you or someone you love feels disqualified because of the past, this devotional is a reminder that God is still writing redemptive stories. Sometimes He’s doing far more than we can see.From Wrong to Strong Ministries.Send us a textSupport the show Support our ministry → Text WRONG2STRONG to 53555 or via this link: https://givebutter.com/fwts Website: fromwrongtostrong.org https://youtube.com/@fromwrongtostrong Email: omar@fromwrongtostrong.org

Beautiful Feet and Bold Testimony | From Wrong To Strong Devotional

Jan 10th, 2026 8:00 PM

In this week’s From Wrong To Strong Devotional, we reflect on what Scripture means when it says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news” (Romans 10:15). This verse isn’t really about feet, it’s about movement, obedience, and a willingness to go.The gospel was never meant to stay private. One of the most powerful ways God spreads the good news is through testimony. The real stories of lives changed by Jesus. Revelation 12:11 reminds us that believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.In this devotional, we talk about stewarding the story God has given you, sharing the gospel with courage, and trusting God with the results. You don’t need a platform, just obedience and a willingness to share what Jesus has done.If this encouraged you, consider sharing it with someone who needs hope today.Send us a textSupport the show Support our ministry → Text WRONG2STRONG to 53555 or via this link: https://givebutter.com/fwts Website: fromwrongtostrong.org https://youtube.com/@fromwrongtostrong Email: omar@fromwrongtostrong.org

Week #52 - 2-Minute Devotional w/ Omar Calvillo

Jan 2nd, 2026 3:00 AM

As we close out 2025, the apostle Paul gives us the right posture for moving forward, not regret, not complacency, but purposeful pursuit.In this final Two Minute Devotional of the year, Omar Calvillo unpacks Philippians 3:12–14 and reminds us that spiritual maturity doesn’t mean we’ve arrived - it means we keep pressing forward. Paul’s words challenge us to let go of both past failures and past victories, fix our eyes on Christ, and pursue faithfulness over comfort, recognition, or results.This devotional speaks directly to our lives in ministry, our families, and our personal walk with God as we step into 2026. Wherever you find yourself today, be encouraged: the same Jesus who took hold of you is still leading you forward.Let’s press on - together.
