Live Call-In Radio Starts March 1st!
Mark you calendars! On March 1, 2012 the National Prayer Chapel launches Pilgrim’s Progress, a weekday radio program on WAVA-AM radio in the Washington, D.C. Metro area. Pastor Ray Greenley not only returns to the airwaves, but returns to a live, call-in format.
Isn’t Pilgrim’s Progress “just a story”? No, it’s meant to be much more than entertainment. The Pilgrim’s Progress radio show will be a daily guide for the journey from death to life, from this world to that which is to come. Join us Monday through Friday from 1 PM to 2 PM to share together the journey towards the Celestial City!
Live, Streaming Video: Something new will be added—live, streaming video of the broadcast. Thanks to our technical guru, Kwashi Zilevu, the stream will be available here on NationalPrayerChapel.com from 1 PM to 2 PM every weekday.

A Pure Heart By Faith
Scripture Readings: Romans 5:8-9, 12, 15, 20; Romans 6:11; Galatians 2:20
“What must I do to be saved?” When we die to the law and to our old life of sin, we become a new person with new power to live a clean life before God. It is a common myth that we can be saved and continue to walk in our sin. If you want a pure heart, you must walk by faith and not by works, and He will give you the desire of your heart.

The Ugliness Of Sin
Scripture Readings: 2 Chronicles 23; 24:4,6,15,18,20; Jeremiah 2:5-25
What is sin? 1 John 3:4 defines sin as lawlessness. Sin then is a voluntary rebellion against the will of God. Sin is an offense against God that I choose when I walk in my own will. Righteousness is innocence. We see the consequences of sin in our daily life—in our finances, in our relationships, and in the pain that fills our hearts. Are you carrying a burden of sin on your back or are you unconscious and dull of spirit? At the cross of Jesus the burden of sin can be cut from your back! You can be made alive in Jesus!!!

The Turning Point
Pastor Ray
A Turning Point comes when you clearly see your sin in the light of God’s glory. We take it for granted that God is always kind, merciful and loving. But God is not bound by our sentiments. He is also a God of justice and judgment! God does have a Turning Point when He walks away because of our contempt and unbelief. Restore your covenant with Jesus. Repent of your sins and cast them aside. Make today a Turning Point in your life!

The Entrance Into The Kingdom Of God
Pastor Ray
Scripture Readings:
Matthew 6:28-34;
7:1-13;
John 4:11;
7:37;
Ephesians 1:3;
4:29-30
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We have heard this from a parent, teacher, or perhaps a friend. Nice idea, but did you know that this is the entrance into the Kingdom of God? That’s right — the narrow gate. Our Father is willing to treat you the way you wish to be treated — with mercy, honor, respect and kindness. In return He expects you to allow Him to make you holy in every part of you life by the blood of Jesus, and He expects you to treat Him the way He has treated you. The only possible way to be saved is by not grieving the Holy Spirit. Christian perfection is nothing more or less than treating others–including God–the way you wish to be treated. Christian perfection is love!
(In this podcast, Pastor Ray refers to an earlier message by Pastor Jim Kerwin, called The Original Aromas of Christmas.)

Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment
Pastor Ray
Scripture Readings:
Matthew 5:7,
Matthew 7:1-12
The Beatitudes are an outline of “The Sermon On The Mount.” Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” He speaks again about mercy in Matthew 7 when He says, “Do not judge, or you will be judged.” If you want to follow Jesus, He calls you to give up the need to be “somebody,” to humble your heart and become a servant. Judgment against others flows from a bitter, angry or prideful heart. Jesus came to save you from your sin, especially the sin of Judgment!

A Cry For Inward Righteousness
Pastor Ray
Scripture Readings:
John 16:7;
Matthew 5:20;
1 Kings 13;
Matthew 6:24,
33;
Hebrews 12
Three words: SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT, all of scripture centeres around these three words! With regard to sin: Men do not belive that Jesus has the power to save from all sin. With regard to righteousness: Jesus has gone to the Father, so the Holy Spirit must teach us the “Narrow Path,” and the “Groaning Gate.” With regard to judgment: the day and the hour has been set and the Devil and all who belong to themselves will be cast into Hell. It is time to walk in “Inward Righteousness” by the power of the blood of Jesus as the Holy Spirit opens the path before us.

To Listen With Intelligence
Pastor Ray
Scripture Readings:
Matthew 6:25-34,
Genesis 22 (Story of Abraham’s sacrifice),
Romans 12:1-3
If You chose to be a disciple Jesus Christ, God will test you! Just as Abraham was tested you must all so be tested, to determine whether or not you will obey the Lord. Will you lay everything on the alter and become a living a living sacrifice? As we lift up our hands in obedient surrender, as we endure the piercing The Holy Spirit makes plain what we could not see in our blindness. The provision of Righteousness from the blood of Jesus can flow in our lives!

Do Not Worry
Pastor Ray
Scripture Readings: Matthew 5:21-48 (The Six Sins), Matthew 6:18, (Disciplines Of The Faith), Matthew 6:25-34, Galatians 5:13,24
Are you seeking the Kingdom of Heaven with all your time and energy, or are you absorbed by the worldly culture of seeking money and pleasure? Jesus in The Sermon On The Mount, opens for us the steps in to The Kingdom Of Heaven. There are no special deals! He calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross each day and be crucified. We are to walk before Him without sin! The sinful nature is no longer in charge! We walk in victory by the power of His blood as we follow The lead of the Holy Spirit. Jesus says to our hearts, “Do Not Worry!”

Your Devotion To Jesus
Pastor Ray
Scripture Reading:
Matthew 6:19-24
Are you filled with anger, resentment, accusations, fear and uncertainty or are you filled with love, joy, peace, patience and self-control? Are you walking in darkness or are you filled with the light of Jesus? Christian devotion is neither public nor private. Devotion signifies a life given to God. The Christian is called to walk in the light, no longer given to darkness or to the way of the world. A true Christian is no longer given to anger, resentment and fear but is given to the will of the Holy Spirit. We who walk in Jesus give Him our first and only consideration.

I Am All In For Jesus
Pastor Ray
Scripture Readings:
Matthew 4:17;
Matthew 5:1-12;
Matthew 6:1-18
You can no longer afford to have one foot in the world and one foot in heaven. Jesus is coming, we are at the end of the world! Much has been produced through the Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, but it has left us hungry and destitute, filled with violence and every unclean thing. Jesus is the Tree Of Life! He will not leave you destitute and broken in your sin! What does it require to make the transfer to feasting on the Tree Of Life? The right of God to rule over your life must be established in your heart before you can break free of The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil. If you plan on spending eternity with Jesus your only source now will be the Tree Of Life.

The Gift Of Overcoming Righteousness
Scripture Readings: Matthew 5:17-18; Romans 5:18-19: Joh; 16:5-7
Righteousness is a gift and it is a choice. There are 6 sins Jesus describes, in The Sermon on the Mount, that we must deal with if we are to walk with Him. These steps will lead to revival. Many say it can’t be done, but in today’s culture a few believers are walking righteous before God. The gift of righteousness will change you completely. It’s your choice.

The Jig Of The Gospel
Scripture readings: Matthew 5: 1-19; Romans 3
Have you ever wondered about the process by which righteousness is obtained? Take a fresh look at the Beatitudes! God has given us a specific pattern to follow. Through this process we become safe to enter into another person’s life as a peacemaker. These are the required steps in order to be called a son or daughter of God

The Gospel Of God Will Guard Your Heart
Scripture reading: Galatians 3:15-21
The Gospel calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus. This includes laying down our burdens. We are to walk free, having been crucified with Christ. This process requires giving up both control and ownership of our lives. Now by the power of the Holy Spirit we walk clean before God with peace and joy in our hearts.
