Revival NOW Church?

Get Past Your Pride! (May 15, 2005) One of God's ways is that He will uncov... One of God's ways is that He will uncover every vestige of pride, so that we can be totally transformed.   Listen to the story of how God uncovered King Hezekiah's pride and allow the Holy Spirit to expose any pride in your heart. We've seen pride as a virtue and not a vice in America and this has to be exposed and totally broken in our hearts. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4070&feed_id=5030

Disappointed by Jesus? (May 20, 2007) Pastor Ray talks about how the disciple... Pastor Ray talks about how the disciples were utterly disappointed by Jesus as His crucifixion became readily apparent and their hopes of an earthly kingdom were utterly destroyed. His disciples had many false expectations. In our culture, we've depicted Jesus as  a "cotton-candy Jesus," (i.e. a benevolent father-figure who only cares about meeting our needs and expectations) which has created many false expectations that we must face as we are crucified with Christ.  As the disciples made it all about themselves and who would be the greatest among themselves, surely we've done the same thing, to a much greater extent. The real issue in the sermon is not whether or not you will be disappointed by Jesus, you certainly will be to some degree (due to all of the lies that permeate the modern American church) but the question is whether you will entrust (or intrust) yourself into the ...

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

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

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 Deep Truth about Revival (November 4, 2004) Using 2 Chronicles 7:14, Pastor Ray ela... Using 2 Chronicles 7:14, Pastor Ray elaborates on what it means to humble our hearts before God. What a wonderful yet painful place to be where only Jesus can rescue you and me. I pray that you will receive the message with a heart to serve Jesus. (if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.) https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3827&feed_id=4772

Is God an End, or a Means to an End? (Paris Reidhead, January 1, 1965) https://youtu.be/nDQC45_RA2c There... https://youtu.be/nDQC45_RA2c There's a pervasive attitude, especially in the modern American church, that God is simply a means rather than an end. We've  simply opted in large part to use God to get what we could from Him. So I will serve God as long as gives me what I want and then if He doesn't give me what I desire than I'm out, or I'll stay out of a sense of duty and become a religionist.  Humanism has led to the shipwreck of many, including myself, not even knowing why at the time. Others have simply become religionists and that kind of shipwreck is the most terrifying type because in it, we delude ourselves in that we're serving God. This lie keeps God's people from true repentance and I pray that will it break your heart as it has mine as you listen. God used a man over 50 years ago, Paris Reidhead, in this precious sermon, Ten...

Willing to Be Made Willing? (Encore) In today's Saturday sermon, Pastor Ray ... In today's Saturday sermon, Pastor Ray discusses Chapter 5 ( The Holy Spirit Takes Possession ) of " Rees Howell: Intercessor " by Norman Grubb.  As we begin to abide in Jesus, He takes us all the way to the bottom. We must then go to the same place as described by Rees and Pastor Ray, where finally our lives are fully given to Jesus. In that place, the Holy Spirit comes and asks us if we're willing and will make us "willing to be made willing" if we willingly go to the cross. Are you willing to move out of your life and will you trust the Holy Spirit to pull you through? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4040&feed_id=4563

Two Paths Clearly Marked (2008) Unlike forest trails, which are quickly... Unlike forest trails, which are quickly overgrown, the path of light and the path of darkness have many clear markings. The first is identified by an active faith, bold confession, and absolute, sold-out dependence on Jesus; the second, by a divided heart, hiding one's sin, and self-reliance. In spite of these clear markings, we may trick ourselves about which path we're walking. Just because the path of light leads through a dark area doesn't mean we've sinned. Likewise, temporal ease doesn't mean that we're not under a sentence of death. Where are you today? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4182&feed_id=4502

Life on God's Terms (2006) On today's broadcast, we rebroadcast a ... On today's broadcast, we rebroadcast a sermon from 2006. Using the life of Daniel, Pastor Ray illustrates what it means to have our life on God's terms and what that actually looks like.  In our self-centered culture, we've wanted to make our life about us and most of our life is not actually about us but rather what God wants to do through us. That's the call from Jesus to live our life on His terms. What will you do??? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3963&feed_id=4442

Besieged by God (2004) If you've ever made a honest decision t... If you've ever made a honest decision to follow Jesus, know that God will besiege your life to no end. His purpose is to bring you and I to a full surrender of our lives, not to steal or harm us. Are you consciously aware of how God has besieged your life? Make that unequivocal surrender of your life to Jesus Christ today as you listen to today's message! https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4017&feed_id=4376

Being Born Again Is Not Enough Using the text of a John Wesley sermon ... Using the text of a John Wesley sermon and Romans 1 and Romans 6 (and many other scriptures), Pastors Ray and Jan explain why being born again is not enough. Listen closely and determine where you are in this process. I leave  you with the words of a chorus written by John Wesley. "Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free!  I cannot rest till pure within, Till I am wholly lost in Thee." https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4055&feed_id=4274

How to Bind the Strong Man? (January 23, 2005) The Holy Spirit reminded me of this ser... The Holy Spirit reminded me of this sermon yesterday, but I thought the tape was destroyed but was mistaken. This sermon will help further explain how Jesus binds the strong man as we abide in Him. What is striking to me, is the number of ways the Holy Spirit can explain the same thing to ensure that we "get it." I pray that you not only "get it" but decide to fully walk in it and watch Jesus come in great power to bind the strong man in your life. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=4035&feed_id=4257

If Jesus Is Going to Be a Wall to Me, Then... The full title is "If Jesus is Going to... The full title is "If Jesus is Going to Be a Wall to Me, then I'll take care of this myself".  It's taken many years of "hitting the wall" before I finally caught on, hopefully you haven't been as stubborn as I have. A dear brother asked us to locate a broadcast on Balaam and this fits in perfectly with today's broadcast. As Balaam experienced Jesus as a wall, he resorted to witchcraft to get what he wanted. We see the disastrous results of his rebellion and his refusal to submit to the Lord God of heaven . There is much witchcraft in the modern church because of an unwillingness to humble ourselves to Jesus. Let this message be a warning to your heart and mine. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3924&feed_id=4131

A Crust of Bread from the Dark Side (March 8, 2008) Today's classic sermon focuses on the l... Today's classic sermon focuses on the life of King Saul and his great sin of divination, which was evidenced in the battle against the Amalekites. Saul, in effect, drew a circle around his life and decided when and how he would obey God. This self worship resulted in a great self delusion, in that Saul believed he was actually serving God when he was really serving himself and brought God's wrath upon him and led to his demise.  Let this message be a sober warning to you and me. https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3980&feed_id=4060

Go through with God! (October 2006) Today's Saturday classic is a Springs o... Today's Saturday classic is a Springs of Living Water radio broadcast with Pastor Ray and Pastor Jan. They succinctly and accurately lay out the process where God begins in earnest to transform our character. What a wonderful work to be transformed by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, there's nothing more precious.   Have you made that decision to "go through" with God? https://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=3972&feed_id=3915

Spiritual Warfare We're providing an extra treat to you i... We're providing an extra treat to you in the form of a Saturday classic from our dear brother Malcolm Lavender (author of the Lavender New Testament with his dear son Russ) from a message he preached in 2009. The introductory song, Nothing Between , is by his grandson, Joshua Lavender. Be blessed to stand against the powers of darkness and don't give ground as the battle belongs to the Lord! Jesus has already won the battle, so we stand with Him live or die... http://nationalprayerchapel.com/?p=36359&feed_id=3880

Planted in Jesus! Today's sermon is dedicated to a dear o... Today's sermon is dedicated to a dear one, who has by God's grace been planted in Jesus. I pray that this message is an encouragement to those planted in Jesus and will provide a confrontation to those planted in anything other than Jesus. May we all be fully planted in Him! https://7851ed3083.nxcli.io/?p=3888&feed_id=3763
