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. Take what God shows you there and let it influence how you pray here.

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. You may even be able to finish their thoughts because you've become closely aware of their perspectives and desires.Sacrificial time in prayer produces a knowledge of Jesus and an awareness of His presence that comes in no other way.Intercede for your cities and towns.Colossians 4:2-4 TPT—[2] Be faithful to pray as intercessors who are fully alert and giving thanks to God. [3] And please pray for me, that God will open a door of opportunity for us to preach the revelation of the mystery of Christ, for whose sake I am imprisoned. [4] Pray that I would unfold and reveal fully this mystery, for that is my delightful assignment.Act as watchmen and prophetically call for awakening, warn the people of God, call out sin, intercede, hear a word from the Lord, and declare it—over your family, your community, your nation, your spouse, your friends, and your children.Isaiah 62:6-7 NKJV—[6] I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent, [7] And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.Isaiah 62:6-7 TPT—[6] Jerusalem, I have stationed intercessors on your walls who will never be silent, day or night. You “reminders” of Yahweh, take no rest, [7] and tirelessly give God no rest, until He firmly establishes Jerusalem and makes her the praise of all the earth!Ezekiel 3:17 NKJV—[17] “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:Thanks for reading and listening to the podcast, friend!Please share it on your social media and subscribe for more!Thanks for reading StrongFaith.co!

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.
Ezekiel 22:30
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.

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
How do you approach God when you have an urgent need?Do you find yourself “bargaining up” with your good works or “bargaining down” in unworthiness?This week, we will be in Luke 7:1–10 and seeing how a Roman centurion shows us another way—faith that rests entirely on the authority of Christ.This week, we'll see how Jesus responds to faith that says, “Just say the word.”⸻Two Things to Think About as you listen::1) Where do you place your confidence when you pray?Do you lean on your good works, your service, or your feelings of worthiness? Or do you hesitate because you feel unworthy?2) What does this story teach about Jesus' authority?Notice how the centurion recognized Jesus' word had power over all creation. What might that mean for your prayers and faith today?⸻Two Things to Pray through as you listen::1) Pray for a humble, confident faith. Ask God to free you from trusting in your works or wallowing in your failures, and to place your trust fully in Christ's authority.2) Pray for those carrying heavy burdens. Intercede for friends, family, or church members who need healing, help, or hope—asking God to work mightily because of who He is, not because of what we've done.
O holy Pope Pius,you were a humble shepherd who longed to bring Christ closer to His people.You opened wide the doors of the Eucharist,calling even the youngest to the table of the Lord.You rekindled reverence for sacred worshipand defended the truth with courage and clarity.Intercede for us, that we may grow in lovefor the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.Teach us to hunger for holiness,to seek what is eternal above what is passing,and to follow Christ with joyful and faithful hearts.May we, like you,“restore all things in Christ” in our homes, parishes, and world.St. Pius X, gentle reformer and faithful pastor,pray for us. Amen.
O glorious St. Dominic, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, you were a fiery preacher of the Gospel and a tireless defender of the truth.You taught the world the beauty of prayer, especially through the gift of the Holy Rosary. In your compassion, you cared for the poor and the lost, leading many hearts back to God's loving embrace.Intercede for us today, dear St. Dominic. Help us to grow in faith and love, to speak the truth with courage and humility, and to live each day in joyful service of Christ.Guide us to be faithful witnesses of the Gospel, to bring light where there is darkness, and hope where there is despair.We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #261 Christ Ever Lives to Intercede for Us Web Description: God never breaks His covenants. That means He will never break the covenant He made with you for your salvation through the blood of Christ. Do you feel like God has rejected you because you failed Him? Replace that feeling with the knowledge that nothing can separate you from the love of God in Christ. Far from rejecting us, He ever lives to make intercession for us. Let this truth be what fills our hearts and minds. Show Notes: The Hebrew Scriptures show us God's faithfulness and His commitment to His covenants. There are Scriptures of course that relate the many times God punished His people Israel for their sins. And Christians over the years have used these Scriptures to support anti-Semitism and replacement theology, claiming that God has rejected the Jewish people. But the opposite is true. The Scriptures are clear that God has never rejected Israel and is always faithful to His covenant people. We read in the Bible that God disciplined them like any good father would discipline his children. But we also read that He will never violate His covenant with them. God's dealings with Israel, as recorded in the Scriptures, are an example for us as Christians. If we fail Him, He will discipline us, but He will never break the covenant He made with us in Christ. Yet how many Christians really have the confidence that God will never reject them? How many feel like they have blown it so badly that there is no way back to God? According to the book of Hebrews, Christ ever lives to make intercession for us. Yet we look at our flesh and think that any one of our failings could separate us from His love for us. We so easily forget that He is at the right hand of God always, continually, at every moment, making intercession for us. This needs to be solidified in our minds and hearts. God, who never breaks His promises and never violates His covenants, will cause everything to work for good for His people. That is the reality for Israel. And that is our reality that we can have full confidence in. Key Verses: • 1 Corinthians 10:11. “These things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction.” • Numbers 23:19. “God is not a man, that He should lie.” • 1 Corinthians 11:25. “This cup is the new covenant in My blood.” • Psalm 89:28–37. “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” • Jeremiah 31:31–37. “If this fixed order departs … then … Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me.” • Hebrews 7:24–26. “He always lives to make intercession for them.” • Romans 8:24–34. “Christ Jesus is He … who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.” • Romans 8:35–39. “Who will separate us from the love of Christ?” Quotes: • “I talked to believers quite a bit over the last many years that have the sense that they have blown it and there is no way back. And I think this is one of the things—in really studying the Hebrew Scriptures, in studying Judaism, and studying the Jewish people and God's promises to them throughout the Scriptures—that is not a possibility where God is concerned.” • “God has made promises to me as a believer in Yeshua, and He will never, never go back on those promises. I may mess up a thousand ways. I may mess up day after day. And although we on a human level would at some point get exasperated and give up, God doesn't do that.” • “If you really forgive, you forget. If you really forgive yourself, you're going to forget those violations, and you're going to find in your life that God is working to make all things come together for your good.” Takeaways: 1. When we read the Hebrew Scriptures and understand God's relationship with the Jewish people in His covenants with them, we understand that nothing they can do will make God separate Himself from them. In our salvation through faith in Christ, we likewise have been grafted into God's covenants that cannot be broken. 2. God will never walk away from you. He will never desert you. He will never forsake you. If you have any concept to the contrary, get that out of your thinking. The drive of the Scriptures is to get through to us the understanding that His love is unbreakable, His covenants are unbreakable, and His promises to us will stand through eternity. 3. God has provided His Son as your Messiah, as the sacrifice for your sins past, present, and future. Nothing is able to separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. He continually makes intercession for you. And God causes everything to work for your good.

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?

Al principio de los signos, encontramos a María. Intercede por el vino. Ese signo se culminará en la Última Cena, cuando el vino se convierta en sangre. A Ella le pedimos que interceda por nosotros para ver sangre en cada Eucaristía. Sabernos empapados y embriagados con ella cada vez que comulgamos.

Message Us!Prayer is not just a religious ritual but a transformative force that can break chains, open prison doors, and change seemingly impossible situations. This message dives deep into the power of intercessory prayer—the practice of fervently taking others' needs before God—as dramatically illustrated in Acts 12.When Herod Agrippa I executed James and imprisoned Peter, the situation seemed hopeless. Peter was bound in chains between guards with execution looming. But verse 5 contains the pivotal turning point: "earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church." What followed was nothing short of miraculous—an angel appeared, chains fell off, and prison doors opened by themselves.From this remarkable account, we discover five qualities of effective intercessory prayer that can revolutionize our approach to bringing others' needs before God. Effective prayer is earnest (passionate and fervent), specific (clear about what's being requested), corporate (unified with other believers), continual (persistent until breakthrough comes), and perhaps most encouragingly, imperfect (God honors our hearts even when our faith wavers).The message tackles challenging questions about prayer's relationship to God's sovereignty. Why was Peter rescued while James was executed? If God is sovereign, why pray at all? Through exploring these questions, we gain deeper insight into how prayer doesn't change God's mind but rather activates His power as He has designed prayer to be one of the means through which He accomplishes His purposes.Whether you're new to prayer or have been praying for decades, this message will reignite your passion for intercession by revealing how your earnest prayers for others can bring about supernatural intervention. Join us Wednesday nights at 7pm as we put these principles into practice together and watch God move in power.Support the show
