Abraham's sons Isaac and Ishmael represent birth by the Spirit and birth by the flesh (human effort). That which is born of the flesh is enslaved and will not enter God's kingdom. But that which is born of the Spirit will last forever.

This principle exists on both large and small scales. For example, Jesus promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. This promise will come to pass, but it will be as God sends the reviving power of the Holy Spirit in response to prevailing prayer--not because Christians developed an ingenious strategy to make it happen.

This Isaac/Ishmael principle also holds true in our lives. For example, if you're fully given to Jesus, then you will eat, dress, conduct yourself, clean, and speak to others as you're led by the Spirit. There will be no "Ishmael" areas of your life. Likewise, the conversion of others depends primarily on the moving of the Spirit of God--not the way I articulate the gospel, or the expression on my face, and so forth.

Are you in the freedom of God's promises, or are you bound under the law?

End Time Apostasy

End Time Apostasy https://youtu.be/FKOWuM2jb-Q Pasto... https://youtu.be/FKOWuM2jb-Q Pastor Ray focuses today on the End Time apostasy, which has resulted in a lukewarm church with no power. Will you cry out for the church and allow the Holy Spirit to meld you down? Do you hear the lies of the modern church saying that there is no victory by the blood of Jesus. It's time for victory in Jesus, do you have it? It's time to awaken for many and cry out to Jesus. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=13126&feed_id=3031

Are Only A Few People Going To Be Saved

Are Only A Few People Going To Be Saved https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RZKyB... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RZKyBw32Qk&t=1s Scriptures Used During Today's Broadcast: Luke 13, Matthew 16, Romans 6 Pastor Ray comes against the modern lie that all who say they are Christian must be, regardless of anything else. We must deny ourselves take up our cross and be crucified with Jesus. It's a losing or forfeiting of our dreams and desires, everything to follow Jesus. It's also an intentional leaving of sin and giving of ourselves fully to Jesus. Have you crossed that line dear one??? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=61039&feed_id=5106
