LIFT Daily Prayer: Destined for the Fall and Rising of Many | December 25, 2025

About this sermon

Today’s Verse: Luke 2:34 (NKJV) “Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, ‘Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against.’” Jesus is the dividing line of history and of every human heart. Some will “fall” over Him, offended, rejecting Him, and tripping over the very truth that could have saved them. Others will “rise” because of Him, lifted out of sin and death into forgiveness and new life. And Simeon warned that He would be “a sign which will be spoken against.” We see that every day in a world where the name of Jesus is the most common curse, yet the only name by which we must be saved. You are either for Him or against Him; there is no neutral ground. So today, decide where you stand with this Child who is now the risen Lord. If you belong to Him, thank Him that He has caused you to rise and not fall, and ask for fresh boldness to stand for His name in a world that speaks against Him. Pray for your family, that in your own household there would be more rising than falling when it comes to Jesus. That children, grandchildren, and relatives would bow to Him as Lord and Savior. Use every opportunity today to speak of Christ with love and clarity, and walk through this day rejoicing that the One Simeon held is the same One who holds your life, your future, and your eternity in His hands.
