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 experience, what this getting small before God is? If not, will you pursue it with all your heart?

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

Much More Amazing Grace!

Much More Amazing Grace! https://youtu.be/xWbV-P06ZUk This ... https://youtu.be/xWbV-P06ZUk This is a continuation of a prior broadcast from October on the life of John Newton, author of Amazing Grace. Pastor Ray details this brother's struggle and subsequent victory over being half-converted. He initially was transformed to some degree but was unwilling to surrender everything to Jesus. During the time of half-conversion, Newton's depravity is described in excruciating detail. Listen to the story how this dear brother finally laid everything down in full surrender to Jesus Christ. Praise God for this wonderful testimony of this dear brother who was fully converted and totally transformed! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3773&feed_id=4206
