NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchSÁBADO DE TARDE, 21 DE FEBRERORECONCILIACIÓN Y ESPERANZAEn el Apocalipsis, se le declara [a Satanás] ser 'el acusador de nuestros hermanos,' el cual los acusaba delante de nuestro Dios día y noche.' Apocalipsis 12:10. La controversia se repite acerca de cada alma rescatada del poder del mal, y cuyo nombre se registra en el libro de la vida del Cordero. Nunca se recibe a alguno de la familia de Satanás en la familia de Dios sin que ello excite la resuelta resistencia del maligno... Induce a los hombres al escepticismo, haciéndoles perder la confianza en Dios y separarse de su amor; los induce a violar su ley, luego los reclama como cautivos suyos y disputa el derecho de Cristo a arrebatárselos. Sabe que aquellos que buscan a Dios fervientemente para alcanzar perdón y paz, los obtendrán; por lo tanto les recuerda sus pecados para desanimarlos... Mediante estratagemas incontables y de las más sutiles y crueles, intenta obtener su condenación. El hombre no puede por sí mismo hacer frente a estas acusaciones. Con sus ropas manchadas de pecado, confiesa su culpabilidad delante de Dios. Pero Jesús, nuestro Abogado, presenta una súplica eficaz en favor de todos los que mediante el arrepentimiento y la fe le han confiado la guarda de sus almas. Intercede por su causa y vence a su acusador con los poderosos argumentos del Calvario. Su perfecta obediencia a la ley de Dios, aun hasta la muerte de la cruz, le ha dado toda potestad en el cielo y en la tierra, y él solicita a su Padre misericordia y reconciliación para el hombre culpable... Cristo no dejará que una sola alma que con arrepentimiento y fe haya pedido su protección, caiga bajo el poder del enemigo. Su Palabra declara: "i3O forzará alguien mi fortaleza? Haga conmigo paz, sí, haga paz conmigo". Isaías 27:5. La promesa... es hecha a todos: "Si guardares mi ordenanza... entre estos que aquí están te daré plaza". Zacarías 3:7. Los ángeles de Dios irán a cada lado de ellos, aun en este mundo, y ellos estarán al fin entre los ángeles que rodean el trono de Dios (The Faith I Live By, p. 324; parcialmente en La fe por la cual vivo, 14 de noviembre, p. 326). Al participar con sus discípulos del pan y del vino, Cristo se comprometió como su Redentor Al recibir el pan y el vino que simbolizan el cuerpo quebrantado de Cristo y su sangre derramada, nos unimos en imaginación a la escena de comunión del aposento alto. Parécenos pasar por el huerto consagrado por la agonía de Aquel que llevó los pecados del mundo. Presenciamos la lucha por la cual se obtuvo nuestra reconciliación con Dios. El Cristo crucificado es levantado entre nosotros. Contemplando al Redentor crucificado, comprendemos más plenamente la magnitud y el significado del sacrificio hecho por la Majestad del cielo. El plan de salvación queda glorificado delante de nosotros, y el pensamiento del Calvario despierta emociones vivas y sagradas en nuestro corazón. Habrá alabanza a Dios y al Cordero en nuestro corazón y en nuestros labios; porque el orgullo y la adoración del yo no pueden florecer en el alma que mantiene frescas en su memoria las escenas del Calvario (The Faith I Live By, p. 300; parcialmente en La fe por la cual vivo, 21 de octubre, p. 302).

Last but not least, nearly everything else we are involved in can be found at PrayGiveGo.us! Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

Sister J is the wife of Pastor S, who was arrested in 2023. She shared that on the arrest day they were “terrified—really scared,” and said, “I couldn’t even pray. All day I just kept repeating: ‘Lord, what should I do? Please help me.’” Pray that the Lord would meet Sister J with His peace, calm her fear, and gently guide her one step at a time. Sister J shared an update: the appeal has concluded, and the original sentence was upheld. Please pray for Pastor S as he enters this next season in prison—pray for endurance and hope, and that the Lord would open practical doors for communication, needed support, and opportunities to encourage others. Sister J described the early detention hardships of her husband: “During the first three months—the lawyer wasn’t allowed to meet him,” and “he didn’t have proper clothing and supplies. The first year he was in, his hands and feet and ears were all frostbitten.” Pray that God would protect Pastor S physically. Sister J also said her prayers for Pastor S have changed: “Lord, please let him be light and salt in detention and in prison—let him live out the likeness of Christ.” Pray that the Lord would strengthen Pastor S’s faith and make his life a clear witness of Christ in detention and prison. Sister J asked for prayer for her own spiritual stability: “My faith fluctuates a lot… so that in any environment I won’t be shaken, even in fear and anxiety I will still stand firm.” Pray that God would root Sister J in His Word, steady her emotions, and give her enduring faith and courage. Sister J shared that when she once asked who could help if her husband were arrested, Pastor S said, “There’s no one. Let me pray. Let me ask God.” She later testified that God provided caring believers and reminded her, “I’m not alone.” Pray that God would continue to surround Sister J with strong fellowship. Sister J shared: “Right now, the business can sustain me and my child’s living expenses.” But she also said, “My child’s body is very weak… almost once a month—fever and colds. So please pray for her health.” Thank the Lord for providing their daily needs, and pray that He would heal and strengthen her child’s body, giving her health and strength.

I Will Restore You to Health and Heal Your WoundsJeremiah 30:17 “But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord, ‘because you are called an outcast.”I was looking for a verse about restoration because one of my dear friends received a word from the Lord about it, and I wanted to share it with you. I know many of you who are listening are struggling. You have been struggling with your physical health for a long time, and you are wondering why the Lord hasn't healed you yet. You know He can, and you might even believe He will. Yet He hasn't yet, and you are wondering why and when.Some of you have been struggling financially for a long time, and you wonder when the struggle will end. You trust God to provide, yet you are really struggling right now. Your bills need to be paid, and there is no money. You are wondering when the provisions are going to show up and how much of yourself you are going to have to give away before reinforcements come. You might be struggling in your marriage or with parenting. It feels like the waves keep coming, and although you know the Lord is not going to let you drown in those waves, some days you come very close.I have been talking to a lot of people lately who are so tired of the struggle. They don't expect life to be easy, but they can't take all that is going on. They don't understand why God is not helping them. They don't understand why he is not taking this from them. They don't understand why he is not protecting them from some of this. They are tired and confused. They feel like they are running out of the strength and energy they need to keep fighting.I am in a Wednesday morning prayer group run by Rosa Rivas. She is also a wonderful friend of mine who agreed to read the Spanish Translation of the podcast so God's Word and His love can reach more people. Rosa started a WhatsApp chat for those in the prayer group. In this group, people place their prayer requests, support each other, and place any resources they have found that build their faith. Last week, many people in the group were struggling, so Rosa listened to the Lord and held a group call so we could all pray together. It was beautiful and definitely needed. I just want to pause to let you all know that you need people in your life like this. You need community, so when you are down, they can build you up!While Rosa was praying, she received this word, and I think it is not just for that group but for everyone who needs it. She heard the Lord say:“ I am restoring broken dreamsI am restoring broken promisesI am restoring broken plansI am restoring broken relationshipsI am restoring broken friendshipsI am restoring broken memoriesI am restoring broken heartsI am restoring the brokenness of all the things that have hurt you in your lifeI am restoring all the brokenness of your past and your childhoodI am restoring broken healthI am restoring everything just as I did with Job..”And then she said Declare this:In Jesus Name, I am restoredIn Jesus Name, all that has been lost and taken away from me has been restored, and I will receive double what was takenIn Jesus Name, my wounds have been healedIn Jesus Name, my joy is restoredIn Jesus Name, my strength is renewedIn Jesus Name, I am wholeIf you are tired. This message is for you. If you are struggling with broken dreams, broken promises, a broken heart, past trauma, current trauma, your health, your past, your childhood, your finances, whatever it is, this is for you. God is restoring you!I know it may not be in the way you want Him to. I know it may not be your timing. I know you feel you can't go on. I promise you, He will help you go on. I promise you, when you make it to the other side of this hill, the other side of this mountain, the other side of this ocean or cavern, it will be worth it. I am talking with many people who have been struggling for a long time. Most of them are really struggling to hold on to any hope that things will change.Is this you? Have you been down for the count so long that you can't even picture things getting better? Have you been so sick that you can't imagine a brighter future, one where you are healthy and can do all the things you want to do? I am not even talking about huge things. Some people I know have been so sick for so long that they can't even imagine a world where they can even go for a walk around the block without pain. They can't imagine a day that doesn't include all the medical appointments or treatments. Have you struggled with money so long that you can't imagine a time when you will be able to pay all your bills? If this is you, I want to assure you that there is nothing wrong. This doesn't mean you don't trust God or that you don't have enough faith. It means you are tired. You are worn down. You are weary. It is ok. I also want you to know you aren't alone. So many are suffering right now.This is why community is so important. Sometimes we need someone else to be praying for us when we just can't anymore. We need someone else to keep hoping for us when we are losing hope. Sometimes hope can be painful. It can hurt to keep hoping for something good, and yet we never see it. It is hard to hope for a husband when you don't have a boyfriend. It can be hard to hope for a healing when you just seem to be getting worse and worse. It can be hard to hope for provisions when your bills keep piling up.Hope take vulnerabitlity. Hope is believing in something that you can not see, and this is not easy when what you do see is overwhelming. It is not easy to have hope when you feel like the waves keep knocking you over. This is when it is important to have a community around you. Get involved in a Bible study or something else at your church. Or, if you can't get out of your house, find an online community. I am in two prayer groups, one at 6:30 on Wednesday morning and one at 10:00 on Thursday mornings. Both are on zoom and both are filled with powerful prayer warriors who would be happy to pray with you. I also have a Walk Boldly With Jesus Facebook group where wonderful people would be happy to pray for you.If you don't have a community and don't want to find one, at least find one person who can be your prayer partner. Someone who can hold you in prayer and who can hold onto that hope for you. Also, you can pray for them. Sometimes, it is easier to pray for others than for your own situation, because we are too close to it. Also, praying for someone else will give you a sense of purpose and, at least while you are praying, distract you from your troubles. I would like to challenge each of you to check out a Bible Study or a prayer group, or to find at least one person and ask them to be your prayer partner. We were not meant to do life on our own. God built us for community.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we thank you so much for Your Word above. We thank you for restoring us and healing us. We thank you that you love us so much that you meet us where we are, but then you don't let us stay there; you lift us up. Lord, we ask for that restoration and healing you promised above. We ask for the strength and perseverance to wait for it as we are growing weary, Lord. Help us to hang in there. Lord, I ask that you help each person listening find their community. Help them to find a prayer partner. Help them to not feel so alone. Bring the perfect person into their life, Lord! We love you, and we ask this in accordance with Your Will and in Jesus's Holy Name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. If you would like more info on either prayer group I mentioned earlier, please reach out. Also, if you are looking for a community, I invite you to join my mentoring community. We meet on Tuesday nights at 8 PM. There is a link for it in the show notes if you would like to join us. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you, and so do I!

“Can saints intercede for us?” This episode explores the biblical basis for intercession, addressing questions like the reconciliation of Revelation 22:9 with the practice of honoring saints and the significance of the Eucharist in relation to salvation. Tune in as we also delve into the complexities of annulments and the nature of Mary's sinlessness. [Encore episode, original air date July 22, 2025] Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:55 – The saints’ attempt to intercede for us in Rev. 6:9 seems to have failed. What other biblical evidence is there for intercession? 14:16 – How can you reconcile Rev. 22:9 with the practice of offering dulia to the saints? 23:28 – If the Eucharist is required for salvation, then why did Jesus tell the good thief he would be in paradise that day. Why was it good enough for him but not the rest of us? 31:13 – It doesn’t make sense because we don’t know which saints are in heaven and if we pray to one that isn’t there, does that mean we are praying to a demon? The saints pray for you. 36:56 – Religions are man made and are all imperfect in particular the Catholic Church? 46:33 – I don’t understand where annulments fit into scripture? 51:31 – What sin did Mary not have? What is a dark intellect?

Life can sometimes be overwhelming, and balancing all the competing demands we face can be a challenge. But God desires to give you a supernatural strength that only He can give.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FIFTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.16| THE POWER OF RETREAT|JESUS WALKING ON WATER| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Intercession in the Face of Ignorance In this revelatory session of our ongoing Bible Study series on the Miracles of Jesus, we focus on the profound moment captured in Luke 23:34, where Jesus, hanging on the Cross, utters the words:  “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” This episode explores the spiritual weight of that statement, not just as a plea, but as a fulfillment of divine prophecy and a demonstration of mercy at its highest expression. KEY HIGHLIGHTS & INSIGHTS: - The Roman Soldiers: A Picture of Gentile Ignorance    The soldiers who crucified Jesus symbolize the Gentile world, acting in ignorance of both the sin of the first Adam and the identity of the One they crucified (1 Corinthians 2:8; Acts 3:17). They fulfilled prophecy without understanding it. - When Intentions Are Misaligned    Wrong intentions cloud judgment. Ignorance, though it may reduce the weight of guilt, does not remove the consequence of sin. Guilt may vary in degree, denial versus betrayal, but sin remains sin. - The Pain of Ignorance    While the soldiers believed they were punishing Jesus, they were unknowingly wounding their own souls. The devil thrives on ignorance, using it to perpetuate sin. Yet, God's mercy still reaches beyond the peak of human failure. - The Power of Intercession    Jesus' prayer on the Cross was not just for those present, it was for all transgressors. His intercession continues today through the saints. Romans 8:34 reminds us that Christ intercedes for us, and through us, for others. - Born Again for a Purpose    We are not saved to escape the world, we are born again to preserve it. Our new life in Christ positions us to be vessels of His mercy, allowing Him to intercede through us for those still bound by ignorance and sin. - Receiving Forgiveness    Though God has forgiven through Christ, that forgiveness must be received by faith. The finished work of Jesus is available, but it must be believed and embraced. This episode is a call to awareness, responsibility, and mercy.  It reminds us that ignorance is not innocence, and that the intercessory work of Christ is not only ongoing, it is meant to flow through us. As saints, we are appointed to stand in the gap, not in judgment, but in mercy.

Igniting the Flame: Cultivating a Missional Life Through Acts 13Pastor Chris preaches about the importance of being a missional church dedicated to spreading the gospel, as highlighted in Acts 13. Emphasizing the need for spiritual preparedness and cultivation of a life of prayer, Chris recounts personal experiences of fasting, failing, and the humbling grace of God. He elaborates on the significant themes found in Acts 13, like Paul's first missionary journey and the church of Antioch, urging the church to embrace their diverse calling. The sermon also tackles the cost of revival, urging readiness for both the blessings and challenges it brings, including societal pushback and economic upheaval. Additionally, the pastor calls for Christians to engage in every sphere of society, including politics, to influence for the kingdom of God.

In a world dominated by screens, algorithms, and constant noise, Pastor Nathan challenges us to examine who—and what—is influencing our lives. While modern culture spends hours shaping our thoughts through digital influence, Scripture calls believers to be shaped by intimacy with God, not just information about Him. This message reminds us that discipleship goes beyond knowledge; it begins with a deep, personal relationship with God that transforms how we live, love, and lead.Drawing from Acts 2 and the life of Peter, Pastor Nathan highlights the power of the Holy Spirit to move us from familiarity with Jesus to bold, Spirit-led influence. True impact flows from prayer, consecration, and learning to prioritize God's presence over distractions. When intimacy comes first, influence follows naturally—not driven by platforms or popularity, but by a life surrendered to God and empowered by His Spirit.For more on LifePoint Church go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lifepointaz.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our merch store ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://lifepointaz-shop.fourthwall.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find all our links in one easy spot ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/lifepointaz ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/lifepointaz ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lifepointchurchaz/

"And the Lord said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” Abraham answered and said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” And he said, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.” Again he spoke to him and said, “Suppose forty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of forty I will not do it.” Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there.” He answered, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.” He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.””- ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭26‬-‭32‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”” - Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭ESV‬‬

ALC Recommends: One Year Bible Plan“So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the Lord. Then Abraham drew near and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?”- ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

In this powerful message, Pastor Douglas calls the church beyond routine, surface-level prayer and into a life of true intercession. Preaching from a place of lived experience, he reminds us that fasting and prayer are often met with resistance—not because they are ineffective, but because they are effective. Intercession is not reserved for the “extra-spiritual”; it is the calling of every disciple who follows Jesus. To follow Christ is to do what He did—to stand in the gap, to contend for others, and to come before God on behalf of the lost, the hurting, and the broken. Prayer, Pastor Douglas teaches, is not meant to be mechanical or obligatory, but fueled by intimacy, surrender, and perseverance.Drawing from biblical examples like Moses and deeply personal stories, Pastor Douglas challenges us to let our hearts be moved again. True intercession flows from love—a love so real it produces burden, compassion, and even tears. He invites the church to ask God for a heart that breaks for what breaks His, and for the “gift of tears” that awakens passionate, Spirit-led prayer. At its core, intercession is rooted in friendship with God, where prayer becomes dialogue, not duty.

Are you willing to pray for those you dislike or disagree with?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett discuss the importance of interceding for government leaders, based on the principle of 1 Timothy 2:1-2–Paul's instruction to pray and intercede for all people, including kings and all those in authority. There is no exception to this, as Jesus instructs us to pray for even our enemies. The only way to dismantle evil or strengthen the righteous is through persistent prayer–the Scriptures tell us the hearts of kings run through God's hands like water (Proverbs 21:1). He's in control, judgment belongs to Him, and our job is to align with His will by exalting His authority and purpose in all things.Join Rabbi as he shares personal examples of praying for political leaders, and a warning to those with influence to use their platforms to bless and honor truth, rather than curse.Resource mentioned–Make America Pray Again Hats: https://curtlandry.com/MAPA

How wonderful is it that God thought of you as Christ was dying on the cross? He loves sinners so much, even those who had yet to be born.

In this sermon, Pastor Nathan calls the church into a holy reset through fasting and revival, inviting us into a focused season of consecration from January 4–25. Fasting is not about earning God's favor or manipulating outcomes—it's about surrender. In a culture of comfort and constant consumption, fasting weakens the flesh and sharpens our spiritual hunger, creating space to hear God clearly and encounter His presence deeply. Whether abstaining from food or laying down another comfort, the heart of fasting is dependence—declaring that God alone sustains us.The message presses deeper into the connection between surrender and revival, reminding us that fire only falls where there is fuel. Pastor Nathan challenges the church to let go of habits, comforts, and patterns that quench the Spirit and instead embrace prayer, repentance, and corporate hunger. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and voices like Leonard Ravenhill, this sermon is a wake-up call: revival does not begin in crowds—it begins in hearts. As the church fasts, prays, and fills the altar again, the Holy Spirit ignites a fire meant not just to transform individuals, but to impact an entire community.

In this sermon from LifePoint Church, the discussion revolves around the importance of understanding and using the spiritual gifts that God has bestowed on individuals. The sermon, based on Ephesians 4:7-13, emphasizes how these gifts are given by grace and are essential for building up the body of Christ. Pastor Nathan explains the historical context of the ascending and descending king analogy and its relevance to receiving and using spiritual gifts. Additionally, the message encourages believers to practice and walk in their gifts despite fears of failure, stressing that maturity in faith and unity in the church body are achieved through the active use of these gifts. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to seek, identify, and utilize their spiritual gifts to contribute to the growth and righteousness of the church community.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Dec 9, 2025 Settle your heart before God and recognize the privilege of being invited into His presence. Still yourself, pour out your day before Him, and allow His peace to quiet every distraction. Keep your heart tender, yielded, and moldable—like clay in the hands of a potter—willing for Him to add, remove, break, or rebuild whatever He desires so that you may be aligned to His will. Ask for a unified heart, a heart that fears God, a heart that remains planted, pliable, and responsive to His light. As you prepare for seasons of prayer, fasting, or spiritual assignments, do not stand in the way of God's work in you; instead, welcome every stretching, remolding, and purifying He brings. Pray for divine hunger—an unquenchable longing that draws you and others into deeper pursuit of God. Ask that God Himself plants holy questions, dissatisfaction with lesser things, and supernatural curiosity in those He is calling, so that nothing else can satisfy except His presence. Desire the kind of hunger that breaks through obstacles, persists past resistance, and leads straight to encounters with God. Believe that God can stir longing, guide footsteps, and orchestrate meetings, signs, and pointers that lead people into His purpose. Call upon the Holy Spirit to brood over every environment, gathering, heart, and moment. Ask that every detail—words spoken, songs sung, lights flashing, equipment functioning—become instruments in God's hands, carrying revelation, instruction, and transformation. Pray that God's power overshadow everything as He did in biblical times, making it clear that what is happening is “of God and not of man.” Pray for revival, for generational rescue, for youths and children to be awakened, delivered, healed, and shaped into mighty instruments of righteousness. Intercede for every person involved in teaching, leading, or serving, that they be full of the Spirit, full of wisdom, full of discernment, and able to speak exactly what God wants said—nothing less, nothing more, and always in the right measure for those listening. Pray that every message will carry life, revelation, and divine precision, and that every teacher will discern the spiritual maturity of their hearers so truth is delivered in its proper measure. Recognize that you are called to walk in the resurrection life of Christ even now. Understand that death, sin, sickness, and bondage no longer have dominion over you. Affirm daily that you are dead to sin and alive to God. Present your body as an instrument of righteousness and refuse to share your temple with anything that belongs to darkness. Let the word of God become flesh in you—shaping your thoughts, habits, desires, and responses—until your life testifies of the power of the age to come. Pray that the blood of Jesus covers every space, every arrangement, every person, and every circumstance connected to God's purpose. Send the blood ahead to cleanse, protect, disarm darkness, and secure divine order. Believe that angelic activity increases in places where God intends to move, and that His presence disrupts everything contrary to His will. Declare that oppressed people will not return the same way they came. Speak freedom, healing, restoration, clarity, and destiny alignment over all who encounter God in these moments. Proclaim that hearts will be mended, bodies healed, covenants with darkness broken, addictions destroyed, and lives redirected toward God. Finally, commit to being built up yourself. Do not limit your spiritual growth or accept stagnation. Lay hold of every truth available to you, train yourself in the word, and labor in faith toward every divine promise. Affirm boldly that you are the dwelling place of God, covered by the blood, filled with His Spirit, and unavailable to darkness in any form. Zoom every weekday : http://www.caveadullam.org/zoom

The Gospel of John Week 22 Scripture: John 17:1-21. Pastor starts today's class off with an interesting observation. The other three gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke mention the prayers of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, but John does not. John talks about the prayer that occurred before Jesus got to the garden, the prayer He prayed on the way there.  When we put those two different sets of prayers together (the ones from John on the way, and the ones from the other writers at the Garden) it gives us a greater sense of Jesus' heart during this evening, but also of the assurance the He had from the Father that this is going to turn out for our deliverance.  In Hebrews 12:2-3, we are encouraged to "fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men that you may not grow weary and lose hope." And so we are blessed by Jesus' obedience and faithfulness so that we also do not grow weary or lose hope, but that we see and understand that God is in control. Jesus and His disciples have left the upper room and are walking to the Garden of Gethsemane. In John 17:1-2 we see Him pause on His way to the garden to pray what has been referred to as the "High Priestly Prayer." Jesus begins with, "Father." It's personal and it's an example for us to be personal with God as well. Jesus says, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you." The Father is glorified by the obedience of Jesus, His Son, by Jesus being obedient even unto death on the cross.  Jesus continues, "For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."  What is eternal life? It is eternal life to know the Father and know the Son and to be in relationship with the Living God. In verse 6 Jesus starts to pray for His disciples and we see the love He has for them. He sees them as precious and loved. He looks past their mistakes and loves them and He looks at us the same way, He looks past our mistakes and loves us. We are precious to Him. We don't need to remember our failures and allow those to control us. We remember what God says about who we are and allow Him to guide and direct us as His loved children. As Jesus' prayer continues we see Him blessing them, interceding for them and praying for their protection. And He prays for them to be protected in the power of the Father's name. God's name IS His character and Jesus has revealed His name, His character, because if you want to know what the Father is like, you look at the Son. Jesus goes on to pray that he wants the full measure of His joy within His disciples. He says this knowing that in just a bit He will be arrested, tried and crucified. But what He also knows is that there is victory coming. He focused on the outcome, that of giving us an eternity with Him for all who believe in Him. And that's what He wants them to hold onto, too. And he prays for their protection from the evil one and that they would be set apart for the Father's work and His purposes. Then Jesus' prayer moves from the 12 to pray about us. verses 20-21, "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."  Pastor talks about how Jesus continues to pray for us and believers today. In Hebrews 7:25 we read, "Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." (Intercede is to pray for). Jesus is praying that we will live in unity with God and one another. We want to love as He loved, obey as He obeyed, speak as He speaks, follow as He followed. To go where He goes.  He prays unity of the believers, so that others, non-believers, the world, will know that God the Father sent Jesus because of His love for us and that is the love we share together and with others. We should flee religion and rush to the Father, seeking out a relationship with Him through faith in the Lord Jesus and becoming transformed. It's not about knowing certain facts, it's about knowing God. It's not about knowing the answer to how to get to heaven. It's is about knowing the One who get us to heaven!!  Jesus says, "no-one comes to the Father, except through Me." And that is Jesus; prayer, complete unity, unity with Him, even as He and the Father are one. Jesus goes on with, "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world." Wow, He wants to spend eternity with us. We are truly loved! We may live in His presence and live in relationship with Him, basking in His love and taking to heart what He has promised: "I am always with you, even to the end of the age." And then we read that when He had finished praying, Jesus left with His disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. (And they continued to the Garden of Gethsemane.)

The story opens with Jesus radiant on a mountaintop, flanked by Moses and Elijah, while a voice from the cloud commands, “Listen to Him.” From that moment, we trace a surprising thread to the glory Moses once tasted on another mountain, a life of prayer that begins with knowing God and overflows into bold intercession for others.In this episode, we walk through Moses' journey from burning bush to parted sea to the daring request, “Now show me Your glory.” He had witnessed miracles, yet he wanted more than gifts; he wanted the Giver. That hunger changed him. When God proclaimed His Name and goodness, Moses came down shining, a living sign that prayer is not transactional but transformational. From mountain to mission, Moses came down to face the golden calf crisis. Instead of retreating or raging, Moses stood in the breach, reminding God of His promises and pleading for mercy. Moses is a beautiful example of what Paul reminded Timothy to do in prayer:  “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people.” (1 Timothy 2:1).Moses sets an example, but then we then lift our eyes beyond him to Jesus. On the Mount of Transfiguration, the prophets fade and the Son remains as the true Mediator "who always lives to intercede for us" (Hebrews 7:25). We explore what it means to join His ongoing ministry: carrying names into the throne room with promise-shaped prayers and returning to daily life with quiet radiance and steady courage. If your heart longs for a prayer life that bridges heaven and earth, this conversation invites you up the mountain in prayer and back into the valley with purpose. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone you're standing in the gap for.  This episode goes along with a coordinating devotion-driven discipleship guide at Moses Teaches Us to Intercede in Prayer.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

A quiet morning vision sparked a bold invitation: let prayer become the place where Heaven meets here.In this episode, join Tosha Williams for a journey up the Mount of Transfiguration. Here we see Jesus radiant in prayer and listen to what He reveals about how we can pray. Together, we will introduce the biblical accounts in Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9 to discover what God wants to show us about a transformed prayer life.Along the way, six witnesses from the mountain become our guides: Moses teaches us to INTERCEDE and stand in the gap; Elijah teaches us to BELIEVE God for the impossible; Peter teaches us to STRENGTHEN and carry on; James teaches us to FOLLOW Jesus closely; John teaches us to ABIDE; and Jesus teaches us to SURRENDER. Each of these lives show us an aspect of prayer that can change how we pray for the rest of our lives.This episode begins a spiritual journey for anyone hungry to move beyond quick requests and into a steady rhythm of presence and purpose. From mountain to mission, prayer is where transfiguration meets transformation.Accept the invitation this week: let your prayer life be changed by the Mount of Transfiguration.

I will cause the enemy to intercede with you In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction. [NKJV]

harvestva

The Lord is calling out to the church in this hour. He is asking us to rise up once again in the activities of heaven that matter most. The Lord seeks those who will seek Him. He looks for those who will honor Him with a sacrifice of self in His presence to obtain His presence.This call is: Pray, Church! Pray, Church! Pray, Church!The time has come for the church to begin to pray again. The call and cry that resonate deep in my spirit is a summons from the Holy Spirit to enter into the secret place and come before the King of all Kings. We cannot neglect our prayer and hope to win the battles that are coming against us, and certainly, we will not win the battles that are about to come against us unless we pray.The church must pray. Prayer is how we fight! Prayer is the battle mode of the church that releases the kingdom of God upon our circumstances, problems, and worries. Prayer unleashes the kingdom of God against demonic forces bent on harming our communities, families, and our nation. Prayer is the posture of power in the Kingdom of God.Nothing compares to prayer in its importance and scope. Praying will unlock doors and move mountains. Praying will touch the heart of God and cause His hands to be moved. Prayer releases every force the kingdom of God has against the enemies of the kingdom.So, again I say: “Pray, church!” It is time for the church to pray again, getting into battle mode and fighting stance.Ironically, as we pray, we are not facing off against demons ourselves. Instead, we are coming to worship the King, speak His words over our lives, intercede for the longings of His heart, and pray for the peace He decrees in our lives and on the earth. As we pray for leaders, nations, lost sons and daughters, and the hopelessness we see people walking in, the Spirit of God comes and begins to battle against the enemy's plan. God releases resources, help, provision, strength, and power as we pray. Angelic activity is ignited as the host of heaven hears the words of God being declared in prayer by the saints. These mighty angels go to war on our behalf at the command of the King.All of this is happening behind the scenes as we simply become the connection point from earth to heaven.When we open our hearts and our mouths to pray, it releases the divine purpose and passion of Christ's heart. He is revealed, and He is magnified. Church, the Lord would say to you, “Your prayers matter!” When you pray, it makes a difference for eternity. It's not about you feeling it or even sensing it, although when we do, we are thankful. But prayer is about facing the Lord in faith, boldly worshiping His name, and declaring His beauty and holiness, coming to Him with thanksgiving in our hearts and seeking His face. Prayer is a connection point to the Kingdom of God, and it releases the power of His Kingdom in our hearts and in the earth.Scripture plainly tells us the plan of God for our prayers—“on earth as it is in heaven.”Matthew 6:10 TPT—[10] Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.I would submit to you that the more you pray, the more of His presence will enter your life and transform you and your situation. Even if you do not realize it's happening, it is.And so if you've ever felt dead or dry in your spirit, this is for you. Maybe the Lord has allowed you to reach that place so that you will begin to search for Him, to seek Him, to look for Him, and to allow the Holy Spirit to come in. I believe that He is calling out to the church in this hour to seek His face.He is urging us to pursue Him actively, to follow Him, and to press into Him in greater and deeper ways because a harvest season is here. It's not only coming; it's upon us. It's moving in the earth, and we are meant to take part in that—prophesying into the atmosphere and over our spheres of influence, including our families, cities, and towns—all to see the harvest of the Lord come in and to reach out and work.I believe God is calling out to His remnant people in this hour to begin seeking His face, to open our hearts to His presence, and to allow the extension of His power to touch our hearts deeply, igniting our hunger, desire, and thirst.Friend, we need to pursue and press deeper into the Lord than we have before. If we're going to make bold and courageous stands in our culture, we cannot do that without the presence and Spirit of God. We need a working relationship, not just knowledge of God, but an intimate relationship with His presence, Spirit, and power.We can't be a bold voice for Jesus in our culture, in our city, in our town, in our family, in our nation, or on Earth unless we have the voice of God inside us, speaking to our hearts in His presence, igniting us and pressing us forward. So I'm speaking to you right now—as a friend and as a fellow believer—saying, let's press in like we haven't before, and let's allow the Holy Ghost to ignite our hearts with a new hunger, a new thirst, and a new passion, so that there is a drive and a force from God that pushes us into the things of the Lord and the purpose of God.Prayer is the extension of His touch in your life. As you seek Him, He pours Himself through you.Let me just say this too: God is so faithful.As you begin to search for Him and seek Him out, He will be found by you. He will not hide or keep Himself at a distance from you. He is so faithful to come in and fulfill His work, His word, and His promise in your life. He will do that. One of the things I turn to when it seems like the presence of the Lord has begun to slip in my life, and maybe I can't feel Him as deeply as I once did, is this: if I will just get on my face before God—and I mean truly make a sacrifice to do so—and remain in that place of prayer, I know that if I stay there, God will meet me.Even if I don't feel it, I know He's working.And if He's working, then I have everything I need. Because when God is working, the Bible says He will work in us those things that are well-pleasing in His sight. That's what He's doing right now. So don't be discouraged, friend, but press in.We are to embark on a quest to explore the depths of the Holy Spirit.Not long ago, I received this word from the Lord about the Holy Spirit:“My people are meant to be led by my Spirit and taught by my Spirit. You may follow someone's faith, but mentorship comes through a life-giving relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is the one who will guide you into all truth, for He will take of mine and declare it unto you. He is the voice that you hear directing your steps, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.” The Holy Spirit is the great director who orchestrates and performs my plan on the earth and in your life. Lean into His voice and cherish His words, for the Holy Spirit delights over you with great joy. He will fill you with my joy as He escorts you into my presence.”It is time for the Church to pray again!This is the call to the remnant who are about to rise into revival!Any great move of the Spirit of God, any significant revival or outpouring of the Lord that has ever happened on the earth can be traced back to men and women on their knees.Corporately:2 Chronicles 7:13-15 NKJV—[13] When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, [14] 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land. [15] Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.Personally:Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV—[11] For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. [12] Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. [13] And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.How to seek the Lord:Have a secret place with the Lord.Matthew 6:6 TPT—[6] But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to Him in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.Sacrifice more time in prayer.Luke 6:12 TPT—[12] After this, Jesus went up into the high hills to spend the whole night in prayer to God.1 Thessalonians 5:17 TPT—[17] Make your life a prayer.An example of the need to devote more time to prayer can be drawn from understanding a marriage relationship. The more time you spend with your spouse, the more deeply and intimately you come to know them. You reach a point where you understand how they think and feel.

Summary of the Sermon: “Entering In – The Prayer Journey” Central Theme The message calls believers to develop a deeper, more relational prayer life—“hanging out with God.” Prayer is not merely listing personal requests but a sacred journey of communion, thanksgiving, praise, repentance, and transformation, modeled after the Old Testament tabernacle. Key Biblical Foundations 1 Samuel 12:23 – Ceasing to pray for others is sin; intercession is a duty. Job 42:10 – Job's restoration came when he prayed for his friends, even those who hurt him. Matthew 5:44 – Jesus commands prayer for enemies and those who persecute us. These verses emphasize selfless intercession as central to powerful prayer. Steps in the Prayer Journey The speaker uses the tabernacle layout as a guide, showing how each stage draws believers closer to God's manifested presence: Thanksgiving (Gate – Psalm 100) Enter God's presence with gratitude for all gifts, from basic needs to spiritual blessings. Praise (Outer Court) Praise God for His mighty works in Scripture and personal life, inviting His manifest presence. Repentance (Brazen Altar/Laver – 2 Peter 3:9) Confess sins and clear hindrances to approach God boldly. Sanctification (Laver – 1 Timothy 4:4-5) Speak Scripture over oneself, acknowledging Christ's righteousness and cleansing. Communion & Word (Table of Showbread – John 6:48-58) “Have a cup of coffee with God,” feeding on His Word and gaining His perspective. Spirit-Led Prayer (Holy Place – Romans 8:26) Allow the Holy Spirit to intercede with groanings beyond words, aligning with God's will. Manifest Presence (Holy of Holies) Behind the torn veil is God's deepest mercy, love, and wisdom—true worship and intimate fellowship. Practical Insights & Challenges Prayer is Relationship, Not Ritual: Move beyond quick petitions; spend unhurried time with God. Selflessness: Focus prayers on others; sowing intercession brings blessing back (“boomerang effect”). Honest Conversation: Be real with God—share frustrations, failures, and doubts. Daily Practice: Even a few intentional minutes each day can transform one's spiritual life. Call to Action Believers are urged to: Commit to daily “hanging out with God,” using the tabernacle pattern as a flexible guide. Intercede for others, including enemies. Seek God's manifested presence, not merely His gifts. Embrace Scripture as spiritual nourishment and the ultimate source of wisdom. This sermon invites a shift from transactional prayer to a transformative, intimate friendship with God, leading to spiritual growth, deeper peace, and a vibrant faith.

Theme and Central Message The sermon emphasizes prayer as the believer's lifeline, urging a return to deep, personal communion with God. The pastor underscores that prayer is not a ritual to get things from God, but a relationship that transforms us into His likeness. The core progression is Purification → Prayer → Power → Perfected Praise, reflecting how God moves in a believer's life. Key Teachings Urgency of Prayer in Perilous Times We live in spiritually dangerous days, yet believers have direct access to God's power. The church must be a praying remnant, seeking God daily. Jesus' Instructions in Matthew 6 When you give, pray, and fast: These are expectations, not options. Pray privately, not for public show. Avoid empty repetition; God knows needs before we ask. The Lord's Prayer is a model: praise God's name, align with His will, seek daily spiritual and physical sustenance, forgive others, and ask for deliverance from evil. Purpose of Prayer Aligning our will with God's, not convincing Him to act. Daily intake of Scripture is “daily bread,” feeding the spirit and strengthening faith. Forgiveness is essential; unforgiveness blocks prayer. Personal Illustrations Healing of an ulcer after embracing his calling and trusting God's “layaway” provision. Learning forgiveness through prayer for a hostile co-worker, sensing God's compassion for the man's hidden pain. Power of God's Presence Difference between God's omnipresence and His manifested presence experienced in prayer. Prayer invites God's manifest power, greater than any earthly force. Call to Action Dedicated Time: Give God uninterrupted time daily—free from phone, TV, and distractions. Purification First: Like Jesus cleansing the temple (Matthew 21), we must allow God to purify our hearts to pray effectively. Restored Worship: God desires to restore “the tabernacle of David”—deep praise and worship following purified prayer. Closing Challenge The sermon concludes with an invitation: Begin or renew a consistent personal prayer life. Intercede for family, church, nation, and the world. Seek God's kingdom and will above personal requests. Key Takeaway: Prayer is the doorway to God's power and presence. As believers purify their hearts and devote themselves to prayer, they will experience God's power and enter into perfected praise.

“Wherefore, he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Hebrews 7:25) The second verse of the moving old hymn &ldq... More...

Paul leaves Timothy in Ephesus so he could help the elders and the church in Ephesus to fight against false teachers and help them get back on track with the will of God. In chapter 2, Paul begins giving Timothy some instructions that will help him fight the battles and keep his conscience clear. In today's podcast, we break down two of the four things that Paul instructs Timothy to do on behalf of all men and women, kings, and all of those who are in authority. He tells Timothy these four things are also pleasing to God. The church today would greatly benefit from these four things if they would be obedient!

How wonderful is it that God thought of you as Christ was dying on the cross? He loves sinners so much, even those who had yet to be born.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:55 – The saints’ attempt to intercede for us in Rev. 6:9 seems to have failed. What other biblical evidence is there for intercession? 14:16 – How can you reconcile Rev. 22:9 with the practice of offering dulia to the saints? 23:28 – If the Eucharist is required for salvation, then why did Jesus tell the good thief he would be in paradise that day.

The saints pray for you. 36:56 – Religions are man made and are all imperfect in particular the Catholic Church? 46:33 – I don’t understand where annulments fit into scripture? 51:31 – What sin did Mary not have?

A Ella le pedimos que interceda por nosotros para ver sangre en cada Eucaristía. Sabernos empapados y embriagados con ella cada vez que comulgamos.
