Is Jesus a Wall or a Door?

Is Jesus a Wall or a Door? https://youtu.be/Nb63CbLV_qw Pasto... https://youtu.be/Nb63CbLV_qw Pastor Ray asks the critical question is whether Jesus a wall or a door to you? J esus is always a wall at first until we're willing to fully submit and humble our hearts to Him. We must make a conscious choice to fully fix our thoughts on Jesus in this process or we can foolishly choice to light our own fires. Jesus is interested in the minute details of our lives and He wants to transform us from the inside out. Make a determine to fully fix your thoughts on Jesus! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3923&feed_id=5184

The Peaceful Fruit of Righteousness

The Peaceful Fruit of Righteousness Today's sermon is for the mature follow... Today's sermon is for the mature follower of Jesus from Hebrews 12. The title is part of Hebrews 12:11, which says " Now all discipline for the present does not seem to be joyful, but painful; then later it gives back the peaceful fruit of righteousness to the ones having been trained by it. " It's critically important to let go of any bitterness or unforgiveness (or even expectations of others) fully in our hearts, as this will result in sin, don't be a "threshold crosser" as Esau was. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4019&feed_id=5179

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

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

Pursue Peace and Purity

Pursue Peace and Purity https://youtu.be/I5mFZYJ6pa8 Durin... https://youtu.be/I5mFZYJ6pa8 During today's broadcast, Pastor Ray talks about God's great design to give us heart purity,  where we no longer participate in the wickedness of the world. There is no purification of heart without suffering as the author of Hebrews says  " You must pursue peace with all men and the holiness (or purity) without which no one will see the Lord. (from the Lavender New Testament). " Make the decision to not walk in bitterness, which inevitably will lead to sin. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4020&feed_id=4835

Entering by the Promise! https://youtu.be/2im1YCeQZ4I Durin... https://youtu.be/2im1YCeQZ4I During today's broadcast, Pastor Ray talks about entering into the life of Christ, which comes through crucifixion (by Jesus) and a quick transition to entering into the promises of God. The key scripture is 2 Peter 1:3-4 . 3  His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4  Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4037&feed_id=4784

How Will You Survive in Rephidim? (Hebrews 12)

How Will You Survive in Rephidim? (Hebrews 12) https://youtu.be/hDG2C9sZ_Qs As Mo... https://youtu.be/hDG2C9sZ_Qs As Moses lead the Israelities to Rephidim, God leads us to that same place. Rephidim literally means "a place in the desert," which is where God tests our hearts and our attitudes before Him. Every true Christian has a place of great suffering and/or great suffering in the midst of compassion for those around them.   It's time to get serious with Jesus, as He is God Almighty and leave this illusion that we have any power, when in reality we have none, we're simply dust. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4021&feed_id=4451

An Answer to Hard Times

An Answer to Hard Times https://youtu.be/Qamk6yez6cs Pasto... https://youtu.be/Qamk6yez6cs Pastor Ray continues his exposition of Hebrews by finishing up Hebrews 10, and integrates it with some other scriptures. It's time to cast off the cheap cultural Christianity and the cotton candy Jesus and to be fully crucified with Jesus. Come in power to rescue your people Lord Jesus! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3992&feed_id=4349

A Gift from God (That Keeps God Talking!)

A Gift from God (That Keeps God Talking!) https://youtu.be/SOv6c4GGV8c On to... https://youtu.be/SOv6c4GGV8c On today's broadcast, Pastor Ray continues the study of Hebrews with a focus on what is real, which only comes from the hand of God.  He reviews both the "Logos" (the creative idea behind everything that is created, i.e. Jesus) and "Rhema"  (the breathed word of God). Listen closely to understand the difference between the offering made by Abel and Cain and determine in your heart to be an Abel and no longer to be a Cain (a wanderer).  https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4006&feed_id=4010

This World Is Not My Home

This World Is Not My Home https://youtu.be/pyHEfumTxt0 Pasto... https://youtu.be/pyHEfumTxt0 Pastor Ray continues with the study of Hebrews. Jesus wants to take us with Him on our journey and He alone will be the pilot of your life and mine (i.e. Jesus will never be your co-pilot). Have you made this transition to the agenda of Jesus or have you attempted to add Jesus into "your life?"    It's time for the independent life to be given up to Jesus, so that His agenda can be fulfilled in your life and mine. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4013&feed_id=3780

We Have Seen the LIFE!

We Have Seen the LIFE! https://youtu.be/8SY1UIM3z14 Pasto... https://youtu.be/8SY1UIM3z14 Pastor Ray continues the study of Hebrews today and the call to grow up in Jesus, which is one of the central themes in the book of Hebrews. The call is to be crucified with Christ, with a wholehearted pursuit of Jesus and the willingness to be transformed by His precious blood.   Isn't it time to go on from the milk to solid food? It's time to move on to maturity (perfection, completion). https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3962&feed_id=3298

How do our hearts get hard and what is God's prescription for the hardness? Listen to the message and resolve to not resist the word the Lord is speaking to us. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4025&feed_id=3114

Our God Is a God Who Saves!

Our God Is a God Who Saves! https://youtu.be/3BmXNpSWXRE Today... https://youtu.be/3BmXNpSWXRE Today is a continuation of the study of the most excellent book of Hebrews 3, focusing on the first half. The key verse is Hebrews 3:1 "Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest."  We must fix our eyes upon Jesus, which means to fix both our mind and our emotions upon Jesus and NOT HARDEN our Hearts (as the children of Israel did).   Remember that fear is a pointer reflecting that you are not fixing your thoughts on Jesus but are rather hardening your heart, something we need not do.  Be encouraged today to fully trust Jesus, regardless of the circumstances in your life.   Put your weight behind His promises and stand upon them. Amen! https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3921&feed_id=3064

Jesus Saves Completely

Jesus Saves Completely https://youtu.be/nBAVd4QOFw8 Pasto... https://youtu.be/nBAVd4QOFw8 Pastor Ray continues the exposition of Hebrews with his focus being on a systematic presentation of the Gospel, which is not the gnostic gospel of the modern American church.

It's Grow Up Time, Boys and Girls

It's Grow Up Time, Boys and Girls https://youtu.be/CULPiS3wKVc Pasto... https://youtu.be/CULPiS3wKVc Pastor Ray continues our study of Hebrews with the question "What does it mean to grow up in Jesus?" He also explains the deep meaning of Hebrews 6:4. The question that we all must answer will we heed the call to grow up into maturity in Jesus or not? After you listen to today's message, you'll no longer be able to claim ignorance as a basis for your lack of maturity. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3968&feed_id=2908

The Work of Christ

The Work of Christ https://youtu.be/DRwvZoYv6u4 On to... https://youtu.be/DRwvZoYv6u4 On today's broadcast, Pastor Ray unveils the anti-Christ spirit that pervades the highest levels of our government, most major corporations, false religions and has swept over the modern American church with the intent to destroy the Judeo-Christian culture and the work is nearly complete.  It's time for the work of Christ to be done in the church of Jesus Christ, to rescue us from the present evil age. https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3953&feed_id=2876

The Rhema of God

The Rhema of God In today's sermon, Pastor Ray clearly a... In today's sermon, Pastor Ray clearly articulates two critically important Greek words, which are logos and rhema. It's important to know both of them in detail. The call of the Holy Spirit is to distinguish those rhema words from God versus the mundane and unimportant things and to cast those things aside.  https://www.nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4005&feed_id=2733
