The Puritans would pray for tears in the eyes of sinners. These tears were evidence of genuine repentance. As we see throughout the New Testament, repentance is the foundation of the Christian faith. To try to be a good person, while skipping a complete repentance, is to miss salvation.

To repent is to forever renounce all sin and obey Jesus in all things. This is inseparable from submitting yourself to Jesus as the ONLY authority in your life. In other words, Jesus owns you. You no longer steal yourself from him and pretend to own yourself.

Do you lack joy and peace as a Christian? If so, it's likely because you're trying to obey God, but you never renounced all claim to your life and gave yourself to be owned by Jesus. The only way to overcome sin is by faith and submission to Christ.

To deny the Creator, Ruler, and Judge of the universe his rightful ownership of your life is the greatest crime in the universe. Will you let this truth drive you to tears and genuine repentance?

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
