If you want your words to carry power, you have to stop speaking like a beggar and start praying like a BELIEVER.I think so often, we talk TO God and not WITH God. So often we forget that its a two way relationship. A two way conversation and that just as much as God desires to hear from us, He also desires that we hear from Him. Stop praying uncertain prayers about things God has already promised like healing, provision, and peace. Know His will and declare it. 1 John 5:14 says “this is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 2.We don't need to pray “God be with me..” You don't need to ask God to be with you, He promised He already is. Instead thank him for his present and walk in it. Hebrews 13:5 says I will never leave you or forsake you. Declare God is with you now and always. I walk with His presence, not apart from it.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to cultivate a 'fragrance of faith' through consistent, fervent prayer. Drawing from Psalm 141 and Revelation 5, we're reminded that our prayers rise like incense before God, creating a sweet aroma that pleases Him and transforms the world around us. In this message, Pastor Kerrick emphasizes that prayer isn't just for crisis moments; it should be a lifestyle that infuses every aspect of our being. Just as a cook's food aroma lingers on their clothes, our lives should exude the fragrance of prayer wherever we go. This message urges us to move beyond surface-level prayers and develop a deep, persistent prayer life that can withstand spiritual resistance and bring about real change in our lives and communities.

Rich and Doug discuss the power of Prayer and the various different biblical ways to pray in this epic podcast. What do you think about the episode? Comment below or email us: http://waw.fm/hello
We are told throughout Scripture the importance of prayer. We taught how to pray and how not to pray. But, the question I want to pose to you today is: Do you expect anything out of prayer. In Acts 12, we read about Peter being thrown in prison, and the church praying consistently for him. When Peter shows up at the door, the people praying for him first don't believe it's actually him, then are astonished at the sight. Listen to this episode, and take time to look at your prayer life and prayer habits, and start praying the way Jesus would want us to pray-expectantly.
Prayer is essential and especially important during times of spiritual pressure. Don't wait for a crisis to learn how to pray—develop your prayer life now. God delights in the prayers of the upright (Proverbs 15:8).

Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie remembers his mother Bernella McKenzie on Mother's Day with a Tribute done on January 11th, 2025. A. Mommy's Faith and Prayer LifeMommy was a woman of deep prayer, unwavering faith, and extraordinary grace. She devoted countless hours to praying and interceding earnestly for her family, church, Jamaica, and the world. Her commitment to prayer was steadfast, as she believed in the biblical command to "pray without ceasing."Full Episode: https://youtu.be/X8BbMqjOpe8Original Live Video: https://youtu.be/0N3hDWkloBs?si=NTM3pp52VoADN6_aFull Live Video of The Funeral for the Late Rev.

Mommy was a woman of deep prayer, unwavering faith, and extraordinary grace. She devoted countless hours to praying and interceding earnestly for her family, church, Jamaica, and the world. Her commitment to prayer was steadfast, as she believed in the biblical command to "pray without ceasing."She kept a prayer journal, where she noted her prayers and the answers she received. Her entries were often brief yet profound. Mommy prayed for protection, sweet dreams, and visions; for blessings and unity within her extended family, both in Jamaica and abroad; and for her relatives and in-laws, including Cecil.In 2004, she wrote in her journal about praying for all her children to fully turn to God, and she joyfully recorded, "My grandson Sheldon was baptized and is doing well." That same year, she fervently prayed for Sheryl Small's healing from cancer. In 2011, she noted with gratitude, "She's healed and still doing well."Mommy's life was defined by her devout Christian faith. Her prayers reflected her love for God and her unwavering trust in His promises. She was a beacon of faith, an intercessor for many, and a testament to the power of a life lived in communion with God.In Mommy's final moments, I was blessed to be with her. She had waited for me because she knew how much I regretted missing our dad's passing and how deeply I wanted to be there. On Saturday night, I arrived to find her unable to speak, a mask over her nose as she labored to breathe. She could only utter faint sounds, saying "hee."I began to sing, and Ricky joined me. Together, we sang Arise and Be Healed, pouring our hearts into the melody. Then, I prayed for several minutes. As I prayed, she began to cry and joined me in prayer. Speaking in tongues, I felt the Holy Spirit move, and suddenly, she removed the mask and began to speak in tongues herself. She waved her hands and, with remarkable clarity, said, "Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit."Those were her last words. She then went quiet, as though ready to give up the ghost. That night, I returned to her home—our family's childhood home—and slept in her bedroom. Around 4 a.m., she visited me in a dream. She came to say goodbye and to encourage me to be strong and of good health. When I woke, I knew she was gone.Mommy never gave up. Even at the very end, her faith remained unshaken. Her love for God and those she left behind shone brightly in her final moments. Her life was a testament to the power of faith and the enduring presence of God's spirit.B. The Power of Prayer and Self-ReflectionIt is my mother's life of prayer, faith, and self-reflection that has profoundly shaped my understanding of the transformative power of prayer and introspection.When we pray, let us pray without sitting; when we dream, let us dream without sleeping. Believe and have faith, but stay away from naysayers. Prayer sharpens our focus, helping us acknowledge our limitations while embracing God's favor and the limitless possibilities He offers. It connects us with the divine—beyond and within—and aligns us with the cosmos and the cognitive.The Bible reminds us, “Men ought always to pray and never faint.” My mother embodied this verse in her daily life, just as Daniel did when he prayed and overcame the lions' den. What is your den? Prayer has the power to change things.When we pray, let's be ready to act, to change, and to receive. Let's open our hearts and minds to His endless possibilities. Prayer not only transforms our circumstances but also shapes us into vessels ready to receive His blessings.My mother's life is a testament to this truth. Her prayers, faith, and self-reflection have not only shaped her journey but also continue to inspire mine.By Rev.

From Nathaniel Baldwin's kitchen-table invention of headphones in 1910 to today's ubiquitous AirPods, our relationship with audio has transformed dramatically. We're constantly plugged in, listening to something—but are we tuning into what matters most?The advancement of audio technology is a powerful metaphor for our prayer lives. While we've mastered the art of speaking to God—powering up, plugging in, calling out—many of us struggle with the essential step of listening for His response. As Jesus reminds us, "My sheep listen to my voice, I know them and they follow me" (John 10:27). This isn't just poetic language; it's an invitation to authentic relationship where we're not just doing all the talking.God speaks in myriad ways—through creation's magnificent sounds, through spiritual leaders and worship, through His still small voice, and most consistently through Scripture. The challenge isn't whether God is speaking (He is), but whether we're creating space to hear Him. Through the practical "Seek Him, Speak Him" approach, we learn to ask three powerful questions: What is God saying through this passage? Why does this truth matter? How should I respond? Each question creates a natural pause for listening.This practice isn't just for personal growth—it's something we're called to model for those we disciple. Whether in short car conversations, around the dinner table, or through family messages, we have daily opportunities to demonstrate what it looks like to not just talk at God but to engage in genuine two-way conversation with Him. When we listen together, we grow together, and we amplify God's voice to the next generation.Ready to transform your prayer life?

Have you ever tried calling someone repeatedly only to get voicemail? Or wondered if your number was blocked? Unlike our often-frustrating human communications, God offers an always-open line.The invention of the telephone in 1876 revolutionized how people connected, eliminating distance as a barrier to conversation. Similarly, prayer eliminates the distance between us and God, offering instant access without wires, Wi-Fi, or physical proximity. Throughout Scripture, God gives us His "phone numbers" – Jeremiah 33:3 says "Call to me and I will answer you," Isaiah 65:24 promises "Before they call, I will answer," and Psalm 91:15 assures that "When he calls to me, I will answer him." These aren't just poetic words but promises from our God who actively invites connection.This episode explores the third concept in our Plugged In Prayer Life series: after powering up (recognizing God as our source) and plugging in (turning our hearts toward Him), we're now invited to call on Him through prayer. Our theme verse, Jeremiah 29:12, proclaims this promise: "Call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen."What makes this concept especially powerful for discipleship is how it speaks the language of today's tech-savvy generation. Children who instinctively understand phones and expect instant digital access can easily grasp the concept of calling on God. Every time we reach for our phones can become a reminder to whisper a quick prayer – a thank you, a simple request, or just acknowledging God's presence with "Lord, I'm here" or "Lord, I need you."Join us in this conversation about maintaining an open line with God, and discover how to use everyday technology as a spiritual prompt for yourself and the next generation. Check out our coordinating conversation guide at familydiscipleme.org to deepen your understanding and application of this transformative truth.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Pray lest you fall into temptation. The big question for all believers is, "How is your prayer life?"
Have you ever panicked when your phone battery reaches that critical red zone? That moment of desperation for a charger perfectly mirrors our spiritual lives. Without connection to God's power, we might look fine on the outside while internally running on empty.This episode explores the revolutionary concept of prayer as our spiritual "outlet" – the connection point between God's ever-present power and our daily lives. Just as Harvey Hubble's electrical outlet invention in 1904 finally gave ordinary people access to the power grid that was already flowing, prayer gives us personal access to God's divine presence that surrounds us constantly.At the heart of this message is James 4:8 – "Come near to God and he will come near to you." This Scripture reveals both an invitation and a promise that transforms how we approach prayer. God isn't distant or difficult to reach; He's waiting for us to connect. When we turn toward Him, He immediately turns toward us. Prayer isn't about perfection or performance; it's about plugging into God's presence throughout our day – in traffic, during chores, in moments of worry, or sleepless nights.The most beautiful part? When we stay connected to God's power, others notice. Like a house illuminated during a blackout, our lives stand out. Though we can't create someone else's connection with God, we can certainly show them where and how to plug in themselves. Your prayer life doesn't just transform you; it becomes a beacon that draws others to the same divine power source.Ready to move beyond just living near the power to actually connecting with it? Join us as we discover what it means to stay spiritually charged through a lifestyle of prayer. Your soul was never meant to run on empty.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Reformed Brotherhood | Sound Doctrine, Systematic Theology, and Brotherly Love
In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony dive into Colossians 4:2–6, unpacking its rich themes of persistent prayer, evangelism, and the importance of gracious communication. They explore Paul's exhortation to the Colossian church, focusing on how prayer, wisdom, and speech are integral to a Christian's life and witness. The conversation emphasizes that prayer is not merely an action but a defining characteristic of the Christian life, reflecting the believer's intimacy with God and reliance on His grace. The hosts examine Paul's request for prayers that his proclamation of the gospel might be clear and effective, noting that clarity is essential in ensuring the message of Christ is understood fully by its hearers. They also discuss the relationship between wise conduct, gracious speech, and the ability to answer others with the truth of the gospel. The importance of integrating faith into everyday interactions is highlighted, particularly when engaging with non-believers in ways that reflect Christ's love and wisdom. The episode also delves into how Christians can faithfully live out their faith in a world of challenges, particularly on platforms like social media, where speech often lacks grace and wisdom. Jesse and Tony remind listeners of the high calling to let their words always be seasoned with salt, ensuring that every interaction serves as an opportunity to glorify God and share the gospel. Key Points: Persistent Prayer as a Lifeline: Christians are called to devote themselves to prayer, not just as an occasional act but as a continuous lifestyle that reflects intimacy with God. Clarity in Gospel Proclamation: Paul's request for prayer highlights the importance of presenting the gospel clearly and cogently, ensuring its full understanding by hearers. Gracious Speech and Wise Conduct: Walking in wisdom and letting speech be gracious and seasoned with salt are essential for effective evangelism and maintaining a Christian witness. Faith in Everyday Interactions: Integrating faith into daily life involves speaking and acting in ways that reflect Christ's love and wisdom, especially in challenging environments like social media. Questions for Reflection: How does your prayer life reflect your relationship with God, and in what ways can it become more consistent and intentional? In what areas of your life can you work to make your speech more gracious and seasoned with salt? How can you integrate faith into your daily interactions with non-believers in a way that reflects Christ's love and wisdom? Are there specific people or ministries you can commit to praying for, as Paul asks the Colossians to pray for him?

In this insightful episode of "Father and Joe," Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into a provocative analogy that explores how we integrate the presence of Jesus into our daily life, particularly in the context of modern distractions and the need for full presence in our tasks. Joe shares a relatable story about working from home in a Zoom-driven economy while being mindful of his three-year-old son in the room. This situation becomes a metaphor for many of us who struggle to maintain our focus on our responsibilities while simultaneously trying to keep Jesus in our lives.Father Boniface enriches the discussion by drawing parallels to Saint Joseph working in his carpentry shop with young Jesus at his side, highlighting the notion of being mindful of Jesus as a constant, supportive presence rather than a distant observer judging our actions. This episode invites listeners to re-envision their relationship with Jesus as one of mutual support and love, rather than one of distraction or obligation.The episode further challenges the audience to consider what it truly means to have Jesus "in the room" with them during every aspect of their lives. Father Boniface and Joe discuss practical ways to become more aware of Jesus's presence, transforming our view of Him from a potential distraction into a guiding and supporting presence. They also address the inner conflict many face when trying to balance prayer and spirituality with the pressing demands of everyday life, providing practical advice on how to harmonize these elements.Listeners are encouraged to engage in the practice of calling Jesus to mind periodically through their day, envisioning His supportive and loving presence in both mundane and significant moments. This habitual presence aligns with the spirit of Brother Lawrence's classic work "Practicing the Presence of God."The episode closes with reflections on how integrating Jesus into our daily decision-making process not only nurtures our spiritual growth but can enhance our relationships and professional responsibilities. Through a continuous process of adjustment and reflection, we are invited to align our actions more closely with the divine will, fostering more profound love and joy in our lives. Father Boniface and Joe remind us that as we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we begin to embody His teachings more naturally, finding His influence in the subtleties of everyday life.Tags:faith, spirituality, presence of God, Jesus, daily life, Christian life, spiritual growth, St. Joseph, carpentry, mindful living, distractions, Zoom economy, awareness, prayer life, relationship with God, spiritual direction, Brother Lawrence, spiritual transformation, practicing presence, divine support, religious practices, modern spirituality, religious teachings, personal growth, parental analogy, spiritual awareness, faith journey, living with God, spiritual advice, Christian teachings, mindful spirituality, divine will, overcoming distractions, religious reflections, growing in faith, aligning with God, divine guidance, spiritual practices, church habits, reconnecting with faith.Hashtags:#Faith, #SpiritualGrowth, #PresenceOfGod, #MindfulLiving, #DailyDevotion, #JesusInYourLife, #StJoseph, #ZoomLife, #Carpentry, #DistractedLife, #ReligiousPractice, #FaithJourney, #ChristianLife, #GatheringWithGod, #PrayerLife, #SpiritualDirection, #BrotherLawrence, #TransformativeFaith, #SpiritualAwareness, #SeekingGod, #PerceptionOfGod, #AlignWithDivine, #FaithInModernTimes, #ReligionAndWork, #FaithJourney, #SpiritualAdvice, #ChristianTeachings, #FaithPrayers, #MindfulSpirituality, #SpiritualGuidance, #GodInEveryday, #ReligiousTeachings, #SpiritualPractices, #ChristianFaith, #ReconnectingWithFaith, #LivingInGodsPresence, #PrayingWithPurpose, #FaithAndFamily,
Have you ever wondered why some prayers seem electrified with divine power while others feel like words disappearing into thin air? The answer might be simpler than you think.Drawing on a fascinating historical parallel, this episode takes us back to the early 1900s when American homes first gained access to electricity. Just as families had to make a deliberate choice to connect to the power grid, we too must decide whether to truly "power up" our prayer lives by plugging into God's unlimited mighty power.James 5:16 reveals the stunning truth that "the prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." This isn't because our words themselves generate power, but because we're connecting directly to the Creator who spoke stars into existence and raised Jesus from the dead. Prayer isn't powerful because of what we say – it's powerful because of who we're talking to.This episode marks the beginning of the "Plugged In Prayer Life" series, which uses pivotal moments in American history to illuminate spiritual truths about connecting with God. We explore how scripture repeatedly promises that God "gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." These aren't empty spiritual platitudes but invitations to stop relying on our limited human capabilities and instead tap into divine power.Whether you're feeling spiritually drained, standing in darkness despite being near the grid, or simply wanting to experience more of God's transformative power, this conversation offers practical insights for making that vital connection. The same way electricity revolutionized daily life a century ago, prayer can revolutionize your life today – affecting not just your present circumstances but eternity itself.Ready to move beyond merely speaking words and truly power up your prayer life?

How can we be set apart and uncensored? In this enlightening conversation, Todd Coconato discusses the importance of being set apart and uncensored in the Christian faith. He shares his personal experiences, including an angelic visitation that inspired his journey towards deeper consecration. The discussion delves into the dangers of complacency within the church, the necessity of fellowship, and the steps believers can take to grow spiritually. Coconato emphasizes the significance of heart posture, the reality of spiritual warfare, and the power of speaking truth in a world that often seeks to silence it. He concludes with encouragement for listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with God and offers resources for their spiritual growth. Takeaways Being set apart requires a commitment to consecration. Complacency in faith can lead to spiritual stagnation. Fellowship with other believers is essential for growth. Prayer and studying the Word are foundational to spiritual life. Heart posture matters in our relationship with God. Expect opposition when pursuing a deeper faith. Speaking truth is vital in a censored world. God's peace can sustain us through trials. We are called to be watchmen in a spiritual battle. God desires us to walk in His perfect will.

Held in the Gardener's Hands | Power and Promise | John 15:1-8 Walking through the rich Holy Land context of John 15, this message unpacks Jesus' intimate teaching to His disciples after the Last Supper as they crossed the Kidron Valley toward the Mount of Olives. Using the familiar metaphor of vineyards, Jesus reveals Himself as the true vine and God as the gardener who tends to believers in two essential ways. Key Insights: • Jesus HOLDS Every Branch in His Hands - Understanding your secure position in Christ and how God lifts up fallen branches to reconnect them to the source of life. • Jesus APPLIES the Shears with Love - Why pruning isn't punishment but preparation for greater fruitfulness in your life. • Jesus NOURISHES Our Connection - The vital importance of abiding in Christ and how this relationship sustains us. • Jesus DEVELOPS lasting FRUIT - How genuine spiritual fruit comes only through connection to the vine. • Jesus STAYS through Every Season - Finding comfort in being chosen and kept by the Gardener who never gives up on you. Key Scripture: John 15 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.15.NIV) Whether you're questioning your faith journey, struggling with spiritual growth, or seeking to understand God's purpose in difficult seasons, this message reminds us that "the gardener isn't looking to get rid of you. He's looking to reconnect you."

Episode 3 The Daily Prayer of Discernment: The Ignatian Wisdom of the Examen Prayer. The conversation continues on the subject of the first step in the Examen - GRATITUDE. Why? Because first, above all things, God is love. So at the start of the prayer, we should recall the gift of love God has blessed us with that day and give Him thanks and praise and be concrete. Fr. Gallagher offers examples of what that could look like. Then the conversation begins the next step - PETITION. Asking God to show you what see clearly the spiritual realities of that day.
