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 you heed the sweet call of Jesus today?

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
