Absolute Surrender

Absolute Surrender This is the way of God shown throughout...

This is the way of God shown throughout the scriptures where God calls us to make an absolute surrender to Himself. Pastor Ray focuses primarily on the story of Abraham, who made that complete giving of his life into the hands of Jesus, even though it wasn't a pretty or easy process. He uses some other examples as well.

The question is whether or not have made that decision to absolutely surrender your life to Jesus and then actually done it? It's not a one time but rather a continual decision as we seek to serve and love Jesus with all of our heart!

I'm going to include a quote from Andrew Murray from his book aptly entitled "Absolutely Surrender" and another one from author Theresa Reyna, a godly author who has a wonderfully tender heart for Jesus.

Any one of you that does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple (Luke 14:26, 33). Isn’t this the reason for our feeble spiritual lives and the reason that the Holy Spirit does not fill us? We have never forsaken all to follow Christ.

Murray, Andrew. Absolute Surrender

Jesus wants to live His Life through us, and this can only come as we are crucified with Him. We cannot fix ourselves in our own strength; only through total surrender to His will and a deep, internal, transforming work in our hearts will we be made whole.

The Terrifying Work of Demons

The Terrifying Work of Demons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqcrA... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDqcrAuPfYA Pastor Ray delves into the spirit world to uncover the terrifying work of demons. We must know and engage in this battle and trust Jesus to fully deliver us. He uses the story of the demoniac in Mark Chapter 5 to uncover the enemy's game plan for you and me. Have you been set free by the blood of Jesus, or are you still enslaved? The battle belongs to the Lord, but we must engage ourselves in this battle through confession, repentance and trust in Jesus. The heart of Jesus is victory against every demonic power that would come against you. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=41536&feed_id=1015

Soldiering On

Soldiering On Is your church soldiering on without th... Is your church soldiering on without the Holy Spirit, perhaps while praying for revival? This will never produce revival. We must take the position, "Either the Holy Spirit comes, or the church closes. And it's over." How do you know if you're soldiering on? When your church stops confession and repentance. Instead, the church fills up broken cisterns with washed up doctrine, programs and Bible studies, casualness, and happy praise and worship. As a result, the church makes no impact on the culture. Christians remain carnal and unsanctified, and the lost unsaved. This isn't God's heart for the church. Before, the church had revivals. Refreshings of the Holy Spirit brought general change to entire cities and nations. Criminal activities stopped, bars closed, broken families made peace, and people paid back old debts. But, the modern church is so used to soldiering on that we don't even...

The END Is Near!

The END Is Near! https://youtu.be/yJbPzNVzYk4 We've... https://youtu.be/yJbPzNVzYk4 We've made the erroneous assumption that all are saved, meaning that there's nothing between the hearts of the congregants and Jesus. This wicked lie has vaccinated many against the convicting arrows of the Holy Spirit and kept many in their iniquities, where they never had to deal with their wicked ways before a holy God. We also have our modern wicked culture, which is intertwined with the church leaving us in a quagmire. Pastor Ray walks us through many of the blocks to desperate prayer, which must be confronted head on. Are you willing to deal with anything between your heart and the heart of Jesus? His desire is to set you free. Many who call themselves Christians because of their pride will block themselves out, as they've been unwilling to humble themselves before God and their fellow man. What will you do, dear one? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=37625...
