We Will Soon Be Living The Book Of Acts

We Will Soon Be Living The Book Of Acts On today's Pilgrim's Progress, Past... On today's Pilgrim's Progress, Pastor Ray lays out a road map for where he believes we're at, relative to the return of Jesus. If you heart is fully given to Jesus, you will rejoice at the message. If not, you still have time to turn your life over to the hand of Jesus. Are you a Simon like the man in today's reading from Acts, who simply wanted to use Jesus for what he could get or have you said yes to Him come what may? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43358&feed_id=3275

Jesus Wept

Jesus Wept Jesus wept when he arrived to raise Laz... Jesus wept when he arrived to raise Lazarus from the dead. Pastor Ray describes the intersection of compassion, humility, and pride found in this miraculous event. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=9949&feed_id=3273

Understanding Why God Parts the Red Sea

Understanding Why God Parts the Red Sea Today Sister Kathryn talks about t... Today Sister Kathryn talks about the purpose of God in parting the Red Seas in our lives, which happens in many times and many different ways once you begin to get serious about following Jesus. Unfortunately we lost the first part of the welcome but listen closely as this will make the sermon much more clearer to your heart. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4010&feed_id=3269

Are You Half Dead?

Are You Half Dead? Pastor Ray walks us through the Par... Pastor Ray walks us through the Parable of the Good Samaritan verse by verse from the Gospel of Luke. The revelations and understandings will be incredibly beneficial to you if you have ears to hear. If you don't know, find out who the Good Samaritan is and what He wants to do for you. You may not physically be like this but you could be wounded and dying from the blows the devil and his minions have inflicted upon you. This will be good news, no it will be great news to your heart if you can identify with this poor man from Luke Chapter 10. Jesus requires only our repentance and full submission from us. As Pastor Ray says almost every broadcast, the Christian walk is NOT self-help (but rather crucifixion and submission to Jesus). Be blessed as you listen... https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43347&feed_id=3266

Set Aside For Disobedience

Set Aside For Disobedience https://youtu.be/q3Ct1d0ti6s Pasto... https://youtu.be/q3Ct1d0ti6s Pastor Ray's study of 1 Peter continues today in this very sobering message from the Apostle Peter. Is there a veil over your face due to a lack of submission to Jesus or perhaps some idols? Has Jesus veiled your eyes because of sin, as was the case in the church at Laodicea? Are you willing to seek Jesus with all of your heart? It's time for the church in America to seek Jesus with all of our hearts and surely we will find Him. I don't want to be set aside do you dear one? Let's repent as identified by the Holy Spirit and seek Jesus with all of our hearts! "The ones being disobedient are stumbling at the word and for that disobedience they were put aside." 1 Peter 2:8(b) - Lavender New Testament https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=32506&feed_id=3263

Fruit Worthy of Repentance

Fruit Worthy of Repentance https://youtu.be/ErpT2S_Uu8Y The k... https://youtu.be/ErpT2S_Uu8Y The key word today is "dissonance" which is defined as an "inconsistency between the beliefs one holds or between one's actions and one's beliefs". Pastor focuses on our unconscious ways or deliberate ways, which we must repent of. Listen closely to the broadcast, Jesus wants to set us totally free, if you'll seek Him and of course repent. In short Jesus wants our walk and our talk to be totally congruent. How do you do stand today? https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dissonance https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=13206&feed_id=3259

Trust in the Presence of God

Trust in the Presence of God Jesus identified three conditions that ... Jesus identified three conditions that a person must meet to be in the presence of God. The first is to deny yourself. The second is to take up your cross. And the third is to follow Jesus. So what does this mean, practically? One common mistake is confusing the call of the Holy Spirit with God's presence. The Holy Spirit will call a sinner to fulfill the three above conditions. But until the sinner actually  does,  he is not converted and is not in the presence of God. To fulfill these conditions is to recognize your guilt before God and to give yourself totally to Jesus. It is to break off from all sin forever , with a determination that you will do what's right now matter how difficult or painful it is. Another common difficulty is backsliding. Perhaps you once enjoyed the presence of God, but your present experience is cold and dead. In this case, a backslider can be restored by doing ...

The Faith from God (in the Elijah Company)

The Faith from God (in the Elijah Company) https://youtu.be/Zs_uGiOl73Q These... https://youtu.be/Zs_uGiOl73Q These messages are exceedingly difficulty to provide brief summations, given their meaty nature. The primary focus of today is on the faith from God. Using 1 Corinthians 2 and Mark 11, Pastor Ray makes the point that simply being in the presence of Jesus must be the all-consuming goal of the Elijah company but none of us can make it to God on our own . Flesh only produces flesh.  You can't pump up faith like a football. Mark 11:22 says And Jesus having answered says to them, "You must have faith from God ." (Malcolm L. Lavender, Lavender's New Testament , A Literal Translation of the Robinson-Pierpont Majority Text(1995)). As a reminder, here are the marks of the Elijah company: An absolute refusal to compromise with Ba'al or Baal, believed to be the god of prosperity or the god of fire; A willingness to pray for judgment unto repe...

Know that Jesus is a mighty deliverer, who rescues the humble and contrite of heart. Jesus longs to rescue you but this will require full submission to Him. Will you fully submit? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10064&feed_id=3250

Do you know what it means to be poor in heart and has been worked into your character through the dealings of God in your life. Pastor Ray finished with an introduction to the second beatitude and this will be continued tomorrow. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=27920&feed_id=3246

Shaped for a Noble Purpose (2015)

Shaped for a Noble Purpose (2015) Pastor Ray begins the message by laying... Pastor Ray begins the message by laying out the need for a child to be shaped by their parents and transitions into the shaping that Jesus must deal with us on to deal with character faults. Are there character issues that need to be dealt with in your life? The problem is that many of us don't want to admit that we have character flaws and that will block us from the cure. If your heart is convicted are you willing to humble your heart before Jesus and Jesus for His assessment of your heart? His desire is to totally transform you but it takes a willingness to be transformed. Every character flaw is met in the blood of Jesus Christ. We don't have to continue walking in bitterness and anger in pride, in jealousy, in dishonesty. We don't have to continue walking in those things.  Pastor Ray during today's broadcast https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43337&feed_id=3243

Gathering Humility and Love From Every Trial

Gathering Humility and Love From Every Trial https://youtu.be/tsK0bC4zRwI After... https://youtu.be/tsK0bC4zRwI After we have heeded the three hearkens, where does the focus of our life shift to? It shifts to the fruits born by the Spirit, that are laid out by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount as we obey and submit to Him. Have you entered the narrow way? If the answer is yes, then listen intently to what Jesus wants to do in your heart and mine. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=11102&feed_id=3240

The Date of Your Execution

The Date of Your Execution Jesus said, "Do not begin to think that... Jesus said, "Do not begin to think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I came not to abolish but to fulfill." Weaving in Charles Finney's allegory about parents pleading for the pardon of their condemned son, Pastor Ray shows that the new covenant does not abolish the requirements of the moral law. In the new covenant, God writes his law in our hearts so that we become righteous now. Has the law, by faith in Christ, been totally fulfilled in your heart? Are you, like the parents, pleading with God for the guilty--or, like the son, will you come to the date of your execution in rebellion and proud disdain, protesting your innocence? (Note: There is no video for today's broadcast.) https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4159&feed_id=3236

The Midnight Cry (2008)

The Midnight Cry (2008) Listen to Pastor Ray go through in grea... Listen to Pastor Ray go through in great detail the parable of the ten virgins (from Matthew Chapter 25). Are you one of the ten virgins and if so do you have oil in your lamp? Listen as Pastor Ray explain what faith working by love means. Find out how to purchase faith, as you listen along... Pastor Ray gives some concrete examples of how this works. It's not complex but it's not an intellectual process. (NOTE: This message was preached during the severe financial crisis we had in 2008. The national debt was just over ten trillion dollars and that has now more than tripled to thirty three trillion dollars (i.e. $33,000,000,000,000+) so the day of reckoning is upon us.) https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43320&feed_id=3233

The Cold Hard Truth About Jesus

The Cold Hard Truth About Jesus https://youtu.be/SZaqYrFPhgE Pasto... https://youtu.be/SZaqYrFPhgE Pastor Ray went through a short sermon by Pastor William Seymour (from the Azusa Street revival) on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Ray focused on the preparatory work for this baptism, which is conversion and entire sanctification. The key is that we be explicitly honest in our confession and walking it out, lest we end up like Ananias and Sapphira. Are you willing to not withhold from Jesus, that's the call of the Holy Spirit today. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=13087&feed_id=3230

Wait It Is True, God Loves You

Wait It Is True, God Loves You Jesus calls to walk with Him and re... Jesus calls to walk with Him and require a full giving of ourselves to Him. What Jesus gives us is a gift of love, that changes us even for those painful, longstanding ways. Listen to Pastor Ray's testimony of what Jesus did for him. His love is beyond comprehension and his power is truly dunamis (i.e. dynamite power) that changes us and fully makes us into new creatures. Jesus can change us even in our sleep! Have you fully given your life to Jesus? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43310&feed_id=3223

An End to the Self-Centered Life playlist - (2005) The biggest struggle in this culture to... The biggest struggle in this culture to being a true follower of Christ, is the inner struggle with pride and selfishness. In our culture, we've mostly worshiped it and seen it as a virtue rather than a great sin before a holy God.  It's taken many years and much suffering for the Holy Spirit to unveil this in my heart and I pray that the Holy Spirit will use these sermons (from 2005) to seek the purging of all pride and all self-centeredness in your heart. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3875&feed_id=3217

The question is are you in this fight for the kingdom of God and is evidenced by the sacrificial life you live for Jesus? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43302&feed_id=3214

How to Be Happy - 2006

How to Be Happy - 2006 Most of us learn things through repetit... Most of us learn things through repetition. Today's encore message is very similar to yesterday, yet somewhat different as well. After we repent and surrender to Jesus, Jesus takes us on a journey through the building blocks of the Beatitudes. Many get caught at the first step, which is "blessed or happy is he who is poor in spirit." Most of us have been taught that if we exerted enough effort, we could make something happen, even as Christians in the kingdom of God. This leads to much discipline, even flogging at times (See Hebrews 12) and pruning, to bring us to place where we're ready to become totally poor in spirit and our heart is finally in full agreement with the Holy Spirit. Are you truly poor in spirit and if not, are you willing that Jesus would bring the necessary crushing to make this a reality in your heart and life? This is what Jesus is calling for, in your heart and mine, would ...

We apologize for the delay in posting this one, we had an issue with the recording and had to use a back-up recording, so the quality is a bit lower. The topic at hand is focuses on the end to the self life. Pastor Ray focuses on a chapter in that wonderful book "Rees Howells Intercessor" (Chapter 7) of how God worked that out in Rees' heart. Will you allow Jesus to remove all selfishness from your heart as you listen? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3871&feed_id=3207

The Curse of the Fig Tree - Short

The Curse Of The Fig Tree

The Curse Of The Fig Tree Today's message will be helpful to ... Today's message will be helpful to you only if you're willing to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. It's tough because it takes courage to face the truth about ourselves and it's not always easy or even pleasant at the time. That being said, this message will be enormously helpful to you, if you're willing to honestly and humbly consider it. What does it mean to have the curse of the fig tree on our lives and how does one go about getting the curse removed? In a nutshell, that's today's message. The scriptures are shown in the tags below. Don't quickly dismiss the possibility of a curse on your own life but rather humbly seek after Jesus and trust the Holy Spirit to lead you. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43291&feed_id=3204

A Living Sacrifice (2009)

A Living Sacrifice (2009) This vintage message encapsulates where... This vintage message encapsulates where the National Prayer Chapel, and the American church, are today. Though we have the promises of God, we are too big for God to answer us. Our own lives, interests, and opinions take the forefront. Then, instead of offering ourselves as a living sacrifice to God, we put Jesus on the back burner. We're no longer willing to walk this way. But, this means serious repentance and walking out that repentance with a changed life. This, practically, is revival. Revival isn't a glamorous entertainment experience. It's getting down and dirty with God about our sin. As a result of this humiliating process, we don't want to go back to the old selfish life anymore. We're so disgusted by what we've done that we're amazed that Jesus would even accept us--that he would even accept our offering of ourselves as a living sacrifice. Do you know, by experien...

Get Past Your Pride (2005)

Get Past Your Pride (2005) King Hezekiah led revival in Israel. Wh... King Hezekiah led revival in Israel. When he seemed on the verge of death, he cried out to the Lord. God answered him with 15 more years of life. Then, King Hezekiah revealed an underbelly of pride: he showcased the wealth of Israel before the Babylonians. God responded by saying that the Babylonians would capture everything the king had showed them. Instead of crying out to God for mercy on Israel, King Hezekiah acquiesced--because it wouldn't happen in his lifetime. This underbelly of selfishness and pride afflicts many modern Christians. Perhaps you have gone to church, prayed for revival, and spoken of the need for the church to get serious with Jesus. But then, you've gone out to dinner with your friends and said nothing about Jesus. Perhaps you've said, "Christians need to walk the narrow path. It's time to stop being hypocrites and sell out for Jesus." Then, you've gon...

Jesus is the only one that can deliver us from what's about to come upon America. Have you entered into this gateway of victory? Listen to today's message as Pastor Ray begins to unfold Romans 8. You must live according to the spirit and not to the sinful nature. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10333&feed_id=3188

Don't Give Up On The Holy Spirit! All of us are being called to a muc... All of us are being called to a much deeper intimacy with Jesus, that has largely gone unsatisfied. Listen closely to Pastor Ray read through and talk about John Chapter 14. Is the desire of your heart to be enveloped by the Holy Spirit? Be encouraged to listen and grab ahold of today's message, although that will ultimately mean persecution, in the midst of incredible intimacy with Jesus. Jesus is worth it dear one! https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=42961&feed_id=3184

Pastor Ray, using the story of King Jehoshaphat's life, delves into the delicate topic of God's wrath. Find out what it means to be under the wrath of God and how to be delivered from it. Jesus uses this tool to bring us to the absolute end of ourselves and full trust in Jesus and His promises but we do have to come to the end and not go to try and create something in our wisdom or power. Have you come to the end of yourself or are you still under the wrath of God? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43281&feed_id=3181

Today Pastor Ray walks us through the cautionary tale of Achan, whose sin resulted in severe judgment upon his family and that judgment reverberated throughout the nation of Israel. Unconfessed and unforsaken sin will destroy a person, a family and yes even a nation. Are you willing to be honest with the Holy Spirit about all sin, knowing that God wants to redeem you and that His love for you is unfailing? The door to redemption is through the gift of repentance. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43268&feed_id=3171

Crisis Sanctification

Crisis Sanctification https://youtu.be/a1Am3ZUYjxc After... https://youtu.be/a1Am3ZUYjxc After a brief introduction on the topic of "entire sanctification," Pastor Ray opens up one of the major keys to entering into this blessed place using the story of King Samuel and the prophet Samuel. God desires to bring us to a place of crisis sanctification but we oftentimes block the conviction of the Holy Spirit through our defensiveness. Are you willing to give up all defensiveness and allow the Holy Spirit to show you the true condition of your heart? "We never fall into sin, we jump into sin." Pastor Ray During today's broadcast https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=39187&feed_id=3165

What Has The Devil Ever Done For You??

What Has The Devil Ever Done For You?? On today's Pilgrim's Progress, we l... On today's Pilgrim's Progress, we look at the critical question is your heart under condemnation from Romans Chapter 8. If the answer is yes, that's a clear indication that you're either in sin or we have deliberately withheld something from Jesus. In other words, you're either knowingly or perhaps in ignorance serving the devil. This leads us to the title of today's broadcast, which is a question from the Holy Spirit. The devil will never bring anything of value into your life and he will always have room to bring accusations, until you finally give yourself fully into the hands of Jesus . Jesus wants to deliver you dear one from every lie (and the fruits of those lies) the devil has brought into your life. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43258&feed_id=3162

Have You Lost Your First Love??

Have You Lost Your First Love?? Today's message is simple and strai... Today's message is simple and straightforward, have you lost Jesus as your first love? Using Romans Chapters 6 and 8 and a number of illustrations Pastor Ray makes this clear. We can't replace our first love by more this or more that but rather a submission and subsequent obedience to the word of God in your life. If you've lost your first love, you can get it back but it will cost you. Are you willing to pay the price dear one? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=43251&feed_id=3152

It's not about self-improvement but it's simply about crucifixion and allowing Jesus to make you into a new creature. There is no reason to walk in sin.

Where You Live Makes All The Difference

Where You Live Makes All The Difference Pastor Ray continues in our study o... Pastor Ray continues in our study of the Chapters 6, 7 and 8 of Romans, focusing today on the eighth chapter of Romans. The line is clearly drawn between walking in the Spirit or being IN Christ Jesus vs. those who walk in the flesh. Where are you actually walking and are willing to be honest before God? Jesus wants you to walk in the spirit but you must be crucified with Christ and surrender everything over to Him. There is a real crucifixion that Jesus is calling you to dear one, will you say yes to Jesus and no to your flesh? Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

We begin our study today in the book Pilgrim's Progress starting with Page 71 in the chapter entitled " A Burden Lifted and a Journey Begun ." Have you seen the Christian life as a pilgrimage to the Celestial City? We've spent too much time being concerned about persecution but rather we need to face reality to make sure we're fully given to Jesus. If you have or desire to be fully surrendered to Jesus, then this broadcast will be a great encouragement to you. Are you willing to take up your cross and follow Jesus? Are you blessed of the Lord, as evidenced by the scroll of God in your bosom and are you walking free and clean in Jesus? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=35979&feed_id=3140

On today's broadcast Pastor Ray lays out the parallel path that the modern church and an infamous couple from the book of Acts. Beloved, we're headed straight toward judgment and our only hope is to repent of all wickedness and turn to Jesus. Many will not find the grace that they desperately need because they're unwilling to be honest before God. Are you going to fully turn control of your life over to Jesus Christ, regardless of the costs or will you have one foot in the world and one foot in kingdom of God forcing Jesus to bring judgment upon your life? https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=42728&feed_id=3136

We're trying to avoid double-posting but including these messages on YouTube, so I'm linking back to the latest message. The only comment I would make is that this is an amalgam of thoughts from Pastor Ray, mixed in with the words of G.D. Watson. This is really the whole loaf, as Pastor Ray has methodically gone through the Beatitudes this week. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=42109&feed_id=3129

If you are to be used by God, we must go through this school of the brokenhearted. It's designed by God specifically for every heart willing to say yes to Jesus. Don't be a King Saul or one of the others mentioned in the message who looked for a shortcut. Beloved, there's no shortcut but for those, which lead to destruction. Let Jesus reveal your inner heart and totally transform you by the blood of Jesus. Listen to Pastor Ray lay out the path we must follow, as King David did. Make a decision to be broken, not embittered, and trust Jesus to take you through this school. Note the contrast between King David and King Saul. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=42026&feed_id=3123
