Are you willing to cry out that God would light the fire once again??

Light The Fire Again https://youtu.be/I29aTeosUII Scrip... https://youtu.be/I29aTeosUII Scriptures Used During Today's Broadcast: Matthew 10, Matthew 11:16-18, Mark 6 God is waiting for us to recognize our need and let the cry of the Holy Spirit go out to hear our desperation, to hear our cries of repentance and shallowness and to let the fire of the Holy Spirit once again go throughout this land. Do you see our great need and will you cry out for a powerful move of the Spirit to awaken the church, which has fallen asleep? Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:37-39 https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60864&feed_id=4978

A Christmas Gift From Jesus Pastor Ray goes through a story of deli... Pastor Ray goes through a story of deliverance of a hopeless case in Chattanooga. Are you a hopeless case and need deliverance from Jesus? If you're willing to repent of your sin and give yourself to Jesus, He will deliver you! "I come and speak a straight, honest word of God to your heart, about Jesus saving you from your sin. To me, that's what Christmas is all about." Pastor Ray during today's message https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=44128&feed_id=4976

You Shall Receive Power https://youtu.be/NyCRQDEQgLI Today... https://youtu.be/NyCRQDEQgLI Today's title comes from Acts 1:8 in our continuation of the "two baptisms" series. Pastor Ray goes through much of the history beginning with the reformation through Azusa Street ending with the charismatic movement from the 1950s. He also goes through a book by our dear pastor and brother Jim Kerwin entitled " The Rejected Blessing " which you can read for free by selecting the link.  Today's message is important and will help provide much of the framework for further discussions this week, so we highly recommend listening to it, perhaps more than once. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10972&feed_id=4974

Come, Sit With Me In The Dust https://youtu.be/L0wUHZcOCXA As Am... https://youtu.be/L0wUHZcOCXA As America is crashing on many sides, it's time (past-time) to sit before Jesus in the dust with an understanding that God owes us nothing but hell and embrace this opportunity to humble our hearts before the living God. Are you willing to do that and to cry out to Jesus for a change? Have you been healed of your leprosy? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=12835&feed_id=4972

Here's a critical excerpt from today's Pilgrim's Progress...

Can You Handle The Truth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0am_a... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0am_aDhHWc Scriptures referenced during today's broadcast: Acts 2, John 15, John 16 Pastor Ray walks us through a number of scriptures with the focus on what the Holy Spirit wants to do in our hearts. This work begins and concludes with the baptism in the Holy Spirit. In the modern church, we've attempted to avoid conviction and have replaced that with other things, such as the happy spirit rather than the Holy Spirit. Listen to the scriptures and allow the Holy Spirit access to your heart. The Holy Spirit must deal with all of the sin of our hearts and it must be purged from our souls. The only way to heaven for each one of us is by dealing with the issue of sin (i.e. confession, repentance, crucifixion), what will you do dear one? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60842&feed_id=4969

God Is Real! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfbTqH... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfbTqHXp8z0 Today's broadcast is the first in a group of interconnected messages this week. Do you know that God is real and that your life is in His hand? May this painful message today awaken our hearts to a Holy God who demands our allegiance. Will you humble yourself before the reality of our mighty God? Your fate need not be like Korah's group who pushed God to their own end in their pride and rebellion. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=39422&feed_id=4966

The Fruit of a Sinner and a Saint https://youtu.be/lgCuOB0517k Many ... https://youtu.be/lgCuOB0517k Many who profess Christ will find themselves shut out of the kingdom because they were not willing to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Jesus. The day is coming when every man will be judged by his works, and you must be found having real righteousness, not mere profession. Will you set your mind to not turn away from the living God, or will you go through life with a self-centered profit-loss mentality? Today, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3717&feed_id=4964

At Jesus Feet (2008) Today's encore sermon is the message of... Today's encore sermon is the message of a powerful man who desperately needed to get to Jesus for this daughter. This is the most important thing you can do is to get to Jesus. Find out what it means if you seek after Jesus with all of your heart. Are you going after Jesus for other souls, will you pay the price required? It's time to get to Jesus for the precious people we love. "(w)e have come to this wicked conclusion in our hearts that we'll get to Jesus. He'll take care of it (i.e. He'll fix whatever is wrong), and we'll get back to living our life and if he doesn't quickly get it taken care of, never mind Jesus, I've got some other options." Pastor Ray during today's message https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=41410&feed_id=4962

What Is the Foundation of Your Faith? (October 30, 2012) https://youtu.be/UZsYZm7oLd8 Do yo... https://youtu.be/UZsYZm7oLd8 Do you have a foundation of faith in Jesus Christ or do you simply have a vague hope in Him? Using personal experience and the life of Rees Howells, Pastor Ray makes a clear distinction between hope versus assurance. This broadcast will revolutionize your prayer life if you're able to get a hold of it. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3976&feed_id=4957

Hindrances to the Narrow Path (2008) After Jesus lays out the moral requirem... After Jesus lays out the moral requirements of the new covenant, he concludes the sermon on the mount with a warning. What will hinder someone from finding the narrow gate, entering the narrow path, and staying on it? Namely, false prophets, hypocrisy, intellectualism, a defensive spirit, and a performance mindset will. Have you been ensnared by any of these? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3514&feed_id=4954

The Coming DARK WINTER https://youtu.be/sxX__1DDalU Pasto... https://youtu.be/sxX__1DDalU Pastor Ray talks about the "dark winter" (a codeword explained in the broadcast) that will soon be upon us. Let this painful time be a time of total dependence upon the Lord and a much deeper level of repentance. May Jesus name be glorified as our hearts are humbled in the midst of these difficult times. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=12496&feed_id=4951

But Will Jesus Deliver You Today, No https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUvVl4... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUvVl4QWynM On today's broadcast, Pastor Ray uses the testimony to buttress what he's been saying this week and that is Jesus asks us to give ourselves completely into His hands, knowing that He is working behind the scenes to deliver and transform us into His likeness. We can't do it, it's not a self-help process. In the closing moments, Pastor Ray walks us through part of Romans Chapter 6. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=44687&feed_id=4949

You WILL Suffer Persecution - (2012) We begin our study today in the book Pi... 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://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=35979&feed_id=4947

The Grief of God's Heart (2016) In today's encore message, Pastor Ray t... In today's encore message, Pastor Ray takes a close look at the grief of God's heart. Watch how God uses the grief of our own heart to get at it what He desires (which is His grief). The question is whether you will make this same transition that Hannah made, from her grief to God's grief? Are you willing to be a Doulos to Jesus, leaving all of your rights behind. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60820&feed_id=4943

Wait on the Lord (2014) Scriptures used in today's message: Mar... Scriptures used in today's message: Mark 3:20-27, James 1:6-8, Isaiah 40:27-31, Story of Joseph and Abraham, Ephesians 1:18, Moses, Daniel, Psalm 46:1-2 If you're a serious Christian, today's rebroadcast is a must-listen. Pastor Ray lays out why we need to wait upon Jesus and what He is after in our hearts. It may have taken some time, years even, to understand what it means to wait upon the Lord. Will you say yes to Jesus come what may? Pastor Ray gives us a framework from the scriptures, followed by familiar stories of some worthies and then into something more specific for you and I. Jesus is looking for us to be fully given to Him and this is way to that glorious place, where Jesus reigns over us in totality. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60258&feed_id=4941

Preparation for Revival (Part 2) (April 17, 2005) If you're serious about following Jesus... If you're serious about following Jesus and you're seeking a revival in your heart, this is an absolute must listen. The work of revival is always first a work of reformation, through the power of the blood of Jesus. I would offer an alternative title " Jesus prayer for revival. " If you are an earnest follower of Jesus, he has laid out His path for revival for you. Listen to the exposition of the prayer of Jesus in John 17 and allow Him to bring revival power to your heart, your family and those around you. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3799&feed_id=4939

The Way of Faith Today's broadcast was an offertory ... Today's broadcast was an offertory and we're still currently just over $1,400 of meeting our goal to cover the radio bill for August. Pastor Ray goes through some thoughts from Smith Wigglesworth from the book entitled " Faith That Prevails " during the broadcast. If the Holy Spirit prompts you to give, will you simply obey today? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10718&feed_id=4937

Personal Dealings With God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_z2Cp... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_z2CpzOCBk Scriptures Used During Today's Broadcast: Romans 6 The title of today's message comes from a chapter in the book Remarkable Miracles . It is a contrast to yesterday's broadcast, what does Jesus want from you? He wants you to leave your sin and repent of this worldliness, from the cold-heartedness and the rituals of the church, which have been used as a substitute for intimacy with Jesus. You can never use the rituals of the church as a substitute for being crucified with Christ, for leaving your sin, for an absolute surrender. When all we have are the rituals of the church, we at best are a Laodicean church. Make a decision to leave Laodicea once for all but going through the crucifixion with Jesus and giving yourself without reserve to Jesus and no longer use the rituals as a substitute for intimacy with Jesus. https://nationalprayerchape...

Today's encore sermon is about the birth of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and about what happens when Jesus shows up in someone's life. Be blessed by the beautiful hymns that follow the sermon.

The Offence Of The Cross https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccjGwm... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccjGwmuJ9rY This is a very important broadcast because many Christians have attempted to evade the cross. Although it is an instrument of death, it is a gateway from this life in this life in the flesh to life in the spirit and can't be evaded if we expect to make it to heaven. Have you been crucified with Christ, for real or are you running from the cross? It truly is a must-listen, I pray that you take the time to listen. Scriptures Used today: Gal. 5, Romans 1:18-32, 3:10-18, Romans 6, Proverbs 14:12 https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60072&feed_id=4927

The Sin Of The Eucharist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd9bNF... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd9bNF_dPu8 Scriptures Used During Today's Message: Mark 7:31-37, Mark 8, Matthew 26:26-28, Romans 6, Mark 14:22-26, John 13, Matthew 6, Matthew 16-24-28 Pastor Ray exposes much of the idolatry in the modern church today, first with the communion and the eucharist, using these things as a substitute for intimacy with Jesus (that's why they're idols). This intimacy comes only as we're fully given to Jesus and we're crucified with Him, not by any rituals, even things that the Lord wants us to do (such as prayer, scripture study, etc.). Let's not kid ourselves, there is no real intimacy with Jesus, unless we're fully given to Him. Give your life into the hands of Jesus, and be done with anything that would be a cheap substitute for intimacy with Jesus. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60775&feed_id=4924

I Will Shake All Things (Part 2) by Derek Prince Today's message is the final one in thi... Today's message is the final one in this mini series from Derek Prince. Our dear brother focuses on how we should respond to this shaking and what is Jesus looking for from you and me as we see this great shaking intensify? Be blessed and write down the scriptures and go back and read them as you listen. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10733&feed_id=4922

The Word Shall Go Forth - 2015 https://youtu.be/jHZg940KrU0 Today... https://youtu.be/jHZg940KrU0 Today's replay of the 2015 series on fatalism continues today. As we've seen from all of the stories this week, coming against fatalism requires a battle as satan pushes us toward passivity in whatever way possible. Today's story of David Green and his family is no exception. Make the determination in your heart to be given and used in this great battle, the time of great darkness is upon us. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10907&feed_id=4920

Don't Make God Harden Your Heart https://youtu.be/qm5xDMO538k The s... https://youtu.be/qm5xDMO538k The series on Moses from the book of Exodus continues today. The deliverance story of Moses (and the Israelites) was a dress rehearsal for the end of time, the time we're now in. We can cross a line with God where we harden our hearts against God to where He will harden our hearts and we'll have no place to repent. God's love is unfailing, not unconditional. None of us are entitled to redemption, mercy or salvation. If you've hardened your heart, get to Jesus while you still can repent. Today is the day of salvation, we have no guarantee of tomorrow. Do you see the plagues of God falling upon this land, calling for repentance and a giving of ourselves to Jesus? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=31468&feed_id=4918

Today's excerpt is a powerful part of today's message as to why we for the most part don't see divine healing.

Ask, Seek, Knock https://youtu.be/oRUxzQ9a2zk Scrip... https://youtu.be/oRUxzQ9a2zk Scriptures Used today: Matthew 7:7-12, Mark 5:21-43 Hear the call of Jesus from the Gospel of Matthew to ask, seek and knock. Do you believe that God answers your cries? Listen as Pastor Ray pinpoints the causes of our lack of reponse in prayer, namely that we're unwilling to meet the conditions that Jesus lays out for us in the scriptures. He goes to talk about the woman who had severe hemorrages and was desperate for healing. She got the healing but we for the most part do not. It's another must-listen to understand where we're at. It's an opportunity for us to dig deeper and allow the Holy Spirit to uncover what ails us. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60760&feed_id=4915

God's Covenant Revival Promise - 2009 If you have a heart for revival and won... If you have a heart for revival and wonder why revival tarries as Leonard Ravenhill and others have aptly stated, then listen to this message and it will be crystal clear. Pastor Ray walks through 2 Chronicles 7:14 and it's clear that the American church, which includes all of us who call ourselves Christians, have been unwilling to humble ourselves and walk through this death to self. That's the key to unfolding today's message. The hard shell of self must be utterly broken by the Holy Spirit to yield the fruit of righteousness. Lord have mercy upon us. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10276&feed_id=4912

You Can Enter Into The Rest Of Jesus! https://youtu.be/kGtCs62mTeU Today... https://youtu.be/kGtCs62mTeU Today's exciting broadcast concerns the fourth commandment. Find out the glorious message of entering into the rest of God, the Sabbath. We've included many of scriptural references that Pastor Ray used during the broadcast since this is such an important topic. Grace is never a covering for sin under the new covenant. Since there are many scriptures, please note those in the tags as this message will continue tomorrow... But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts , and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:33 - Webster's Bible 1833 Version https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=31879&feed_id=4910

The Coming Of WORMWOOD https://youtu.be/UruHcHmlSZ0 Pasto... https://youtu.be/UruHcHmlSZ0 Pastor Ray walks through a dream by a scholar and prophetic author, Dr. Tom Horn. In addition, Pastor Ray goes through Revelation 8 closely. Are you ready for the return of Jesus? He's coming soon and our hearts must be ready for that terrifying day of the Lord. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=28051&feed_id=4908

#shorts #pilgrimsprogresswava780 #judgment #repentantchristian This is a very raw introduction to today's Pilgrim's Progress at the call of the Holy Spirit. We invite you to listen to the entire message.

Desolation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL7Dq_... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL7Dq_KZM0E Scriptures Used During Today's Message: Jer. 13:1-11, Romans 6:23, Revelation 21 Today's message was ordered by the Holy Spirit early this morning, which is the topic of a short that will be on our YouTube channel. America is headed into a time of great desolation, our hope must rest fully in Jesus himself, not a fictitious sentimental or cotton-candy Jesus. He demands a full yielding of ourselves and a leave of all sin, which includes many of the idols that many "Christians" feast upon. Are you willing to get to Jesus and confess your love of darkness and the things of the world, so that you won't be a part of this desolation that's coming. Please listen to this message in its entirety. We're including the reading from "Come Away My Beloved," which is attached. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60737&feed_id=4905

The Path To Real Adventure https://www.youtube.com/embed/zIwQnhLH... https://www.youtube.com/embed/zIwQnhLHY7g Pastor Ray walks us through the story of Moses today, with a focus upon God being the initiator. It took Moses many years for God to make Moses into a humble man, where he was no longer the initiator. You may have to listen this more than once, because it's so contrary to what we've been taught as Americans. Some of my bosses nicknamed me Mr. Get It Done, but that doesn't work in the things that ultimately count in the end and count for eternity. Are you willing to wait before God and ask Him to show you, if you're one who waits for God or are you a doer? May we embrace this change and enter fully into the shalom of God. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=44307&feed_id=4903

The Danger of Self Love (2004) Listen to Pastor Ray describe the paral... Listen to Pastor Ray describe the parallel between the modern Western church and that of Corinth in the days of the early New Testament church. Allow the Holy Spirit to search your heart for any hidden vestiges of pride. We're no longer ashamed of pride but rather glory in it and this mist of pride will destroy your walk with Jesus. The only antidotes are repentance and the precious blood of Jesus. Allow all self-interest to be removed, so that your entire focus can be upon the kingdom of God. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=9223&feed_id=4901

For Jesus the Gospel Is Very Personal! https://youtu.be/Cm5X6WZsyrc Look ... https://youtu.be/Cm5X6WZsyrc Look to the tags for some of the "hidden" keys in the broadcast today. I'd strongly encourage you to listen to today's message multiple times, I'm certainly going to. Please join me in listening to this incredible message but to sum it all up succinctly, I'd suggest reading the lyrics of this hymn entitled "They'll know we are Christians." We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord And we pray that our unity will one day be restored And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love Yeah they'll know we are Christians by our love https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=11360&feed_id=4898

Let Go of Your Resistance to Joy https://youtu.be/boWkdURoTc8 Pasto... https://youtu.be/boWkdURoTc8 Pastor Ray focuses on the new life in Christ as we come to Jesus, repent and allow Jesus to take over. Jesus has called us to a joyful life in Jesus, is that your current experience? If not it can and will be if you'll simply cling to Jesus and let everything else go. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=12331&feed_id=4895

Foolish, Disobedient, And Deceived https://youtu.be/bnJn4X9VHpg Pasto... https://youtu.be/bnJn4X9VHpg Pastor Ray lays out a brief story of a relative who ended up making a foolish choice that shaped the rest of her life. We're all faced with a similar decision with Jesus. We all have been foolish, disobedient and deceived (i.e. purposely choosing to wander) at some point but the question is whether or not we'll remain so. Are you willing to turn to Jesus repent and turn from your sin and simply trust Him come whatever may? Listen closely to today's message and allow the Holy Spirit to show you where your heart is. The Holy Spirit wants to transform you! An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes. For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin. Psalm 36:1-2 https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=38216&feed_id=4893

A Child is Born - 2004 What happens when Jesus shows up in a m... What happens when Jesus shows up in a man and woman's life? Pastor Ray cuts through all the sentimentality we oftentimes show at Christmas. Jesus will change everything when He comes and everything that's inconsistent with His will, He will cut off. It's a powerful and glorious story and yet a fearful thing as well. Be blessed as you serve Jesus! Merry Christmas! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=39136&feed_id=4891

The Courage (to trust Jesus) It takes real courage to ask and allow ... It takes real courage to ask and allow the Holy Spirit to go all the way to the bottom, will you trust Him? He's not out to destroy or denigrate you, but rather is interested in a full transformation to use you as a tool in His hand. This requires facing the reality of who really are, not some sentimental distortion. The church of Laodicea had evidence of this hostility to God, which was hidden behind self-deception. We must be made righteous, as an imputed righteousness is not real. Will you allow your heart to be melted down before Jesus? It takes courage to admit your condition honestly before God, are you willing to be zealous and to repent? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=41835&feed_id=4887

The Forces of Evil Are Gathering https://youtu.be/hxOHcm0-e4Y Today... https://youtu.be/hxOHcm0-e4Y Today's message is to the church and the question is how do we face these forces of evil that are arrayed against us. Listen to the message to find out the answer. Are you willing to pay whatever cost the Lord asks in this battle against the principalities and powers of the evil one? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=12009&feed_id=4885

Lovik and lays out Jezebel's hometown called Vanity Fair. If we're going to make it to the celestial city, we must traverse through this city, as Jesus did. Open your ears and your heart to the word today. If you really want to serve Jesus, He will bring you through! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=10523&feed_id=4883

Travailing - Leonard Ravenhill Scriptures used during today's message:... Scriptures used during today's message: Galatians 2:20, Ezekiel 37:36, 2 Cor. 5, Philippians 3:7, In today's encore sermon, Leonard Ravenhill a revivalist and evangelist of old talks about our great need of travailing. He goes through a number of scriptures with the primary one being a familiar one in Galatians. The key to Paul's ministry was that he was crucified with Christ but was driven by the agape love of God to lay down his life for others. This is something we must emulate if we are to have Christ's will accomplished in our lives. ...where did he (Paul) get his incredible courage, his unshakable faith and his unfailing love? I believe he explains it all in this amazing epistle. I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me Leonard Ravenh...

Pastor Ray lays out the new covenant and the role of Jesus as our High Priest, as well as His dual role as the King of Kings. Make a decision in your heart today that you allow Jesus to function in both roles. "Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." Hebrews 7:25  Let the King of Kings rule and reign over your heart and your life through every circumstance and you will be amazed what He will begin to do in your life! He will give you peace and His righteousness, what a mighty God we serve. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3974&feed_id=4878

The Suffering of Leaving Our Sin https://youtu.be/xse5zaqBQfw Today... https://youtu.be/xse5zaqBQfw Today's broadcast is the third one in the series on an exposition of Hebrews verse by verse. Listen to the message with an open heart and mind and let the Holy Spirit speak to you. The walk with Jesus is NOT about self-improvement or trying harder, it's simply is being crucified with Jesus and fully given to Him, where everything in our lives is under the Lordship of Jesus. Have you believed the lie that death is your savior and that you past, present and future sins are covered? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3917&feed_id=4876

The Real Test https://youtu.be/4sBH4g1RpNc What ... https://youtu.be/4sBH4g1RpNc What is this final test we all must undergo to enter the kingdom of God? Let Pastor Ray unfold this (especially using Matthew Chapter 22 and the same parable in Luke Chapter 14 as you listen along). All are invited to the banquet of the Lord but we must be found worthy.

This was a most difficult test but Abraham quickly obeyed. It didn't include a lot of false sentimentality prevalent in much of today's church. Do you know what God wants you to put on that altar? The story is not about a false sentiment but a dogged obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of what may ensue out of our obedience. God will prepare a similar situation to see if you all obey His word, even though you may lose the precious thing in your life. There's much to learn from today's broadcast. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60648&feed_id=4870

Resetting Our Moral Compass (Encore) In this first message in the Sermon on ... In this first message in the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Ray lays out the design of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount to straighten out the bitterness of the human heart and put us on the road to righteousness. Because the Beatitudes are sequential, we won't make spiritual progress if we avoid mourning over the ugliness of our sinful condition. But if we're willing to mourn, we can move into the meekness described in verses 21 to 48. Will you let the Holy Spirit expose all the sin of your heart? Will you let him take you low enough so that you will be compassionate to all people, and find great happiness in loving those who despise you? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4173&feed_id=4866

A House Divided? (May 16, 2004) Using Matthew 12 and the parable of the... Using Matthew 12 and the parable of the sower, Pastor Ray discusses about when there is a divided house (a divided soul who can't decide whether to walk with Jesus or to walk with the world). There must be an entire separation from the world and we must allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts and reveal any unplowed ground, so that the thorns may be removed. Are you trying to hide in an illusory middle ground? Resolve in your heart to no longer be divided. Jesus' heart is to give you the victory! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3882&feed_id=4864

The Problem is Not God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhJyTB... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhJyTBtqYvQ Scriptures Used During Today's broadcast: Genesis 21, Acts 3:16-20, Revelation 3:14-22, Hebrews 12 The primary question Pastor Ray raises today in our study of Abraham (and other worthies) is whether God answers prayers or not. Our focus begins today with God answering the cry of Abraham's slave wife. If God answered the cries of this pagan woman, would He answer the cry of one of His own. Pastor Ray walks us through a couple of key passages that highlight this great need of our hearts. The commen thread that is seen in all of these scriptures is the necessity of real repentance, an earnest repentance as Jesus demanded of the Laodicean church. Do you see this great need of repentance in your own life? If you do, are you willing to pay the cost that this repentance will exact in your life? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=60634&feed_id=4...
