God sent Elijah to a poor, indebted widow. All that she owned was a small pot of oil. So what was God's plan to get her out of debt? He blessed what she had--that little pot of oil--and made enough of it to fill all the empty vessels that the widow could gather.

For us, this story teaches how the Holy Spirit operates in a Christian to both sanctify the soul and advance the kingdom of God. In terms of holiness, we first must empty ourselves of everything that blocks God's love in our hearts. In terms of Christian service, God does not bless nothing. But he will bless our work in the gospel when we believe, obey, and pour ourselves out for Jesus.

Listen to learn what empty vessels are, how to collect them, and how to be filled with the Holy Spirit!

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

The Terrifying Third Commandment

The Terrifying Third Commandment https://youtu.be/1raIzROKo14 This ... https://youtu.be/1raIzROKo14 This is truly a terrifying message because we've grossly misunderstood the third commandment. Please listen to the message with a soft heart, one willing to repent. We've reduced much of the teachings in the church to intellectual understandings, something which will ultimately just gussy up the flesh and allow us to be somebody and continue in our wicked ways. Please avoid that trap as you listen closely to this message and ask the Holy Spirit to identify any areas where you may be taking the name of our Lord in vain. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=31852&feed_id=4820
