SummaryMountains don't move without power. In this sermon from Matthew 17, we see Jesus teach His disciples why some breakthroughs never come—because this kind only comes out by prayer and fasting. Pastor Chris preaches on demonic strongholds, the devil's strategies, and the supernatural resistance we face in prayer. More importantly, he shows the key to overcoming: faith, prayer, fasting, and desperate dependence on God.If you need breakthrough in salvation, finances, healing, or fruitfulness, this message will challenge you to seek God until mountains move.Chapters0:00 – Intro: Next Gen Friday0:35 – Scripture Reading (Matthew 17)2:26 – The Mountains We Face: Salvation, Finances, Healing4:46 – Demonic Strongholds Explained7:06 – Hierarchy of Demonic Powers9:21 – Facing “This Kind” of Demon11:20 – Daniel's Prayer and Delayed Answer13:30 – Angels, Resistance, and Spiritual Warfare15:56 – Don't Give Up Too Soon in Prayer17:51 – The Devil's Devices and Strategy20:09 – Resistance Always Follows Breakthrough21:42 – Posture of Resistance: Be Militant in Prayer24:01 – Why “This Kind” Requires Prayer and Fasting26:05 – The Power of Desperation27:35 – Fasting: Struggles and Reality Check29:09 – Testimonies of Breakthrough Through Fasting31:21 – Desperation That Leads to Salvation33:33 – Why Fasting Must Be a Lifestyle35:45 – Faith Like a Mustard Seed Moves Mountains36:58 – The Finger of God Flicks Away Demons39:00 – Connected to God's Power Through Fasting41:00 – Lifestyle vs. Ritual Fasting42:00 – Closing Call: Conquering Mountains in PrayerShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Speaking Truth to TyrannyTaHa 47-50 Speaking truth to power is often fruitless on the surface: your message falls on deaf ears, the oppression continues or even intensifies, you face negative consequences. So what's the point? In this episode Dalia Mogahed and Samia Mubarak discuss the importance of speaking truth to power with confidence and clarity, regardless of the apparent receptiveness of those you hope to change. You will learn:
What's your image of an activist? Someone in a bandanna facing down a line of cops? Or chaining themselves to a tree? You may well have imagined someone young because that's the stereotype: the student ready to take on the world - until they get bogged down in work obligations and childcare. But veteran climate justice organizer Bill McKibben thinks that cliché is due for retirement. Four years ago he co-founded Third Act, a campaigning organization in the United States for the over-60s, working on climate, democracy and racial justice.

On this Wayman Wednesday, hear a classic message from Pastor Wayman Mitchell that will stir your soul and challenge your limits. In “The Challenge to Greatness,” Pastor Mitchell preaches from 1 Kings 4:29–34 on how God enlarged Solomon's heart and gave him supernatural wisdom—not because Solomon wanted fame, but because he wanted to help God's people.This sermon challenges every believer to surrender fully to God's will, embrace self-denial, and believe that God can do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.”Chapters:0:00 - Intro: The Legacy of Wayman Mitchell1:08 - Christianity: Beyond Natural Ability2:32 - Solomon's Heart for God4:15 - What Do You Want from God?6:00 - Serving God or Self?7:40 - Paul's Conversion: “What do You Want Me to Do?”10:00 - Largeness of Heart vs Small-Mindedness11:30 - Submitting to Another Man's Vision13:30 - Prioritizing the Kingdom of God15:00 - Triumphing Over Mediocrity17:00 - Lifelong Self-Education and Growth18:50 - Solomon's Military and Trade Strategy21:10 - People Skills and Pastoral Wisdom22:45 - Solomon's Commerce and the Glory of Israel24:00 - Jabez: Rising Above a Curse25:40 - Aholiab & Bezalel: Empowered by God27:45 - Pastor Mitchell's Testimony: From a Rock Pile to 88,000 sq. ft.31:00 - The Garbage Collectors: Jeff Day, Tom Payne & Louis Polino34:00 - Altar Call: Open Your Heart to God's GreatnessShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Making MeaningTaHa 40-41David Eagleman, in his book “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain,” wrote, “Instead of reality being passively recorded by the brain, it is actively constructed by it.” This construction is our meaning-making ability. The meaning we give events change the way we respond to them, how we feel about our lives and those around us. In this episode we discuss how Allah is reframing the events of Musa's life from what could be seen as a litany of tragedies to a series of training experiences under his Lord's loving eye.You will learn:

Delivered during a powerful Leadership Monday message, this sermon confronts the emasculating spirit of Jezebel that is seducing and softening today's men — in culture, in homes, and even in churches.With conviction and prophetic urgency, Pastor issues a call to every pastor, disciple, and believer: take your place in God's kingdom as a man of courage and spiritual authority. You were not made to be silent, passive, or manipulated. You were made to lead.Text: 2 Kings 9Topics: Discipleship, Jezebel spirit, masculine authority, spiritual warfare, legacy, fatherlessness, dominion, passion, no-compromise leadership.Chapters00:00 - Introduction: What Is Leadership Monday?01:10 - The Prophetic Word that Sparked This Message02:00 - "Give Me Men!" — A Cry from the Heart03:45 - The Spirit of Jehu vs. the Spirit of Jezebel06:00 - How Culture Is Emasculating Men08:00 - Jezebel's Strategy to Undermine Godly Authority10:00 - Voluntary Surrender vs. Violent Assault on Manhood12:00 - When Ahab Gave Up His Authority13:30 - Elijah's Clash with Jezebel's Threat15:00 - Jehu's Mandate from God16:00 - The Mark of a Jehu Man: Zeal, Passion, Obedience18:00 - Is It Peace?
