The great prayer warrior George Mueller said, "To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings." Pastor Ray shares a new message from his series,  Lessons For Life... From Heroes of the Faith.

There are seasons in life when no matter how much we give, how hard we try, it feels like effort isn't enough. The work we put into our relationships, our faith, our responsibilities meets walls we can't move, questions we can't answer, and pain that refuses to be ignored. In these moments, we are often confronted with the reality that pushing harder isn't always the answer. In this conversation with Pastor Ray Jones, he speaks honestly about the walls he has faced: in life, in ministry, in family. He reflects on seasons of anger, betrayal, and disillusionment, and how God's invitation to healing often comes through the very places we'd rather avoid. Ray talks about the subtle ways old wounds and unprocessed grief shape our reactions, and what it means to stay present when the path forward isn't clear, when the work of growth is painful, and when there is no quick resolution. I hope you'll listen in. Thought-provoking quotes: “I've come to recognize that God gives good gifts to His children. He's kind and compassionate. And in His mysteriousness, He allows pain and suffering that actually works for our good. Sitting in the truth that God is a good Father…that's been really formative for me.” - Pastor Ray Jones “There are certain things that trigger our response. It's like a reflex. And I've had to recognize, ‘This is little Ray, who got bullied as a kid, who's got his dukes up.' That's not how God wants me to keep responding. And it's very humbling.” - Pastor Ray Jones “To run from hard things is only going to lead to more pain, not just in your life, but in the lives of the people you love. It's hard, it hurts, it's uncomfortable…but it's worth it. Sit in the discomfort. Trust that God is doing a good thing in you.” - Pastor Ray Jones Get Faith & Feeling's weekly resource email Watch this episode on YouTube Grab a copy of my book Stop Saying I'm Fine Connect with me on my website Find me on Instagram @__taylorjoy__ Key words: spiritual formation, healing journey, hitting the wall, spiritual crisis, faith deconstruction, pastoral burnout, church leadership, anger, suffering, spiritual growth, faith and emotional health, grace, self-compassion, stages of faith, identity, self-awareness, personal growth, Ray Jones

John 2:12 reads: This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. The miracle of turning the water into wine was the beginning of miracles that were performed by Jesus. And John writes that they were manifested to display His glory. John has already told us in chapter John 1:14, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.The entirety of the life of Jesus was lived to display not only His glory, but the glory of God, for the apostle Paul would write in 2 Cor 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. So as we work our way through the gospel of John, not only the miracles, but every single aspect of the life of Jesus is meant to be a display of the glory of God.When John was baptizing in the Jordan, he was paving the way for Jesus, The Christ, and in doing so, fulfilling the words of the prophet Isaiah Isaiah 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. In anticipation of His death on the cross, Jesus prayed in John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.From His incarnation to His ascension to the right hand of The Father, Jesus lived for the glory of God, and He said in John 15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. How remarkable it is to think that The Father is glorified when you and I who belong to Jesus bear much fruit. (Read Matt 5:16!). Romans 1 tells us that when the glory that belongs to God alone is given over to the creature, the very motives of why we do what we do becomes disordered, disoriented and depraved. Sadly, this can happen and does happen not only in the world but inside and outside of the walls of the church.When the miracle of the new birth takes place, The Holy Spirit begins that life long work of changing us from glory to glory as we behold Jesus Christ (2 Cor 3:18). The apostle Peter writes,If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.My personal heart cry for myself and every reader and the writer of this devotional is found in Psalm115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

His righteousness put him in a pit. And then in a prison. But in the end, it promoted him to a palace!“The journeys of Joseph and Jesus are both marked by betrayal, suffering, and eventual triumph. Joseph's sale into slavery led to his rise as a ruler in Egypt, where he saved many lives during a time of famine. Similarly, Jesus' betrayal, His death on the cross, and His resurrection brought salvation to all who believe in Him.”A.W. TozerWe hope you can be with us this weekend for Part 2 of Pastor Ray's message...“Joseph: From the Pit to the Palace.”

And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.Genesis 37:24And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."Genesis 41:39-41Of all the great heroes of the Old Testament, no one comes closer to foreshadowing the life of Christ than Joseph the son of Jacob; His journey from the pit (Genesis 37) to the palace (Genesis 41) prefigures Christ's triumphant transition from the Cross to the Crown. Might it not also represent the destiny of those who believe in the Lord?We hope you enjoy Part One of Pastor Ray's teaching on...“Joseph: From the Pit to the Palace”

Billy Graham said, “To be a disciple is to be committed to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and committed to following Him every day. To be a disciple is also to be disciplined in our bodies, minds, and souls.”Pastor Ray shares the second message in his current series titled, “Acknowledge God With Your Sanctification and Discipleship.”

Christopher delves into a controversial incident within a church setting that Pastor Ray Curry highlighted on the Unction, Pastor Ray shares some insights into ministry that Christopher agrees with and advises that true ministers implement into their practice. This quick overview by Pastor Curry emphasizes the understanding of pastoral authority and prophetic ministry. The discussion centers around Pastor Ray Curry's insightful breakdown of a situation where a guest speaker attempted to rebuke the pastor who invited him to speak after the guest speaker displays some very odd behaviors. This led to a chaotic and confusing scene. Christopher highlights Pastor Curry's points and shares on the importance of wisdom in ministry, Pastor Curry notes that when prophetic confusion meets pastoral abuse of authority, it often leads to disorder and misunderstandings. This episode serves as a reminder that effective ministry requires preparation, respect for established authority, and a firm grounding in biblical teachings. Christopher advocates for a return to scriptural foundations, encouraging church leaders to prioritize teaching the Bible over following fleeting trends.

Perhaps it applies to you? “It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.”A.W. Tozer We really hope you enjoy Part 1 of Pastor Ray's message...“Wrestling With God”

What does it truly mean to hold the line when your faith is under pressure and the world around you is divided? Pastor J. Denise Ray brings a powerful and urgent message calling the church back to unity, strength, and spiritual discipline. Through Ephesians 6:10-18, Pastor Ray reminds us that we are not meant to stand alone. We are called to stand together, fully equipped with truth, righteousness, and the whole armor of God. Pastor Ray challenges us to reject isolation, resist division, and refuse to entertain lies that weaken the body of Christ. Using vivid examples from movies and sports, she paints a clear picture of what happens when an army stands shoulder to shoulder and what happens when one person steps out of place. She concludes with a stirring call to prayer, forgiveness, and unity within our homes and within the church, urging men to rise to their God-given responsibility and encouraging every believer to hold the line in faith. Strength is not found in standing alone but in standing together, fully equipped with the truth of God and committed to unity.

God Himself would become the Ladder!“The ladder pointed to Christ Himself, the One who spanned the infinite gulf which separated heaven and earth, and who in His own Person provided the Way whereby we may draw near to God. The ladder came all the way down to where the fugitive lay and it reached all the way up to God Himself.”Arthur W.

But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" So she went to inquire of the Lord And the Lord said to her: "Two nations are in your womb; two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger."Genesis 25:21-23God's prophetic word to Rebekah regarding Jacob and Esau, the twins in her womb, is still being fulfilled today. In the Middle East, the children of Jacob are still struggling with the children of Esau. But on a more personal level, Jacob and Esau are still at war within our own soul.“Now what is this never-ending war we face? What is this raging battle we're in? Well friend, it is the battle of our two natures! The old nature (Esau) which is dominated by the flesh and the new nature (Jacob) which is liberated by the Spirit of God.”David GuionWe hope you enjoy Part 1 of Pastor Ray's message... “Two Nations In Your Womb”
