We are still in Psalm 22, and we are looking at verse 20 and verse 21. Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion’s mouth and from the horns of the wild oxen; you have answered me. There are two very [...]

We’re still learning about prayer from 1 Timothy chapter 2. Paul the Apostle is writing to Timothy, who was pastor of the church in Ephesus, and he’s telling him how to conduct the church. There are several instructions he’s given to him, and we’re [...]

Well, we’ve had a great week looking at Paul’s instructions to us in First Timothy, chapter two. We are focused on the aspects that relate to prayer. He starts by telling us to pray for all men and to pray for civil authority. Then he tells us who [...]

We’re in the New Testament, specifically in 1 Timothy, chapter 2, discussing prayer. So let’s hear the reading: «Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings, and [...]

First Timothy, chapter 2, verses 3 and 4: For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. So, if you remember in verse 1, Paul says we should pray for all [...]

Welcome to a brand new week. This week, we’re going to the New Testament, and we’ll be looking at First Timothy chapter 2. We’ve already done First Timothy chapter 1 earlier, and we’ll be focusing on prayer. The whole teaching will be on prayer [...]

We are in Psalm 5, and we are learning about prayer from a prayer of David. The Psalms were central to the Old Testament people and even to the early church; they were very important to their prayer and worship life. The words we are studying are [...]

Well, this is a final day—the last day. Forty days of power begins tomorrow, and I trust that your heart is ready, your body is ready, and you are ready to have an adventure with God in the next forty days as we serve the Lord with prayer and [...]

These talks are in a collection called «God of the Impossible,» and I want to ask again today that God would plant a seed in all of our hearts, our minds, and our souls that He is able. Can I get an amen? Maybe just to kind of get us going in the [...]

We’re talking about a shift in our lives, specifically about prayer. I just want to say today that I know we’ve got intercessors in this house. You know what an intercessor is; they wake up praying, they go to sleep praying, they have a prayer [...]

We’re launching this collection with a very practical message for those who haven’t yet started praying. It would be tragic if we went through the entire collection and someone still wasn’t praying at the end of it. Maybe you’re not praying because, [...]

Well, does anybody at Passion City Church today need a shift to make changes in our own lives, in our thinking, in our hearts, in our attitudes, in our emotions, in our relationships, in our families, in our businesses, in our futures, and in the [...]

Here’s the title of the message: «Prayer with a Dagger and a Sword.» There are certain battles where your prayer can be your weapon; whatever you pray about, God is causing your prayers to be victorious and effective. Whatever one thing you are [...]

Hey everyone, welcome to Lesson 9 of «Drawing Near: A Life of Intimacy with God.» Now, I will say this: this was supposed to be an eight-lesson course; however, there was no way I could leave out touching on this final point. So, this will be a [...]

It truly is an amazing event. This rite of passage is something I had never seen before until last year, and the impact was just out of this world. We really want to encourage you; in fact, you don’t even need to pray about it—just do it. I heard [...]

Thank you, thank you, beautiful! Thanks, please be seated. Good evening, nice to see you. Well, I just showed up. If you see me talking to myself, please go your way. I’m self-employed and having a staff meeting. This is dumb. Imagine this one: [...]

Wow, wow, wow, this last week was outrageous again! We just seem to go from glory to glory. It’s nice to have Mike Hudgin here from Randy Clark’s Ministry. Good to have you here. He heads up a huge part of that ministry, and we’re just glad Randy [...]

Good morning, thank you, good morning! Good morning! Nice to see you. Have you ever waved to someone who was waving at you, only to realize they weren’t actually waving at you? This is the funniest one I’ve heard: I waved to a man because I thought [...]

Thank you, go ahead and sit down. Thanks so much. Um, well, I love you too, thank you. I just feel so much love in the room here. There we go. It was months ago when we weren’t able to meet in here, so we met out in a tent, and these guys pitched a [...]

Thank you, thanks, thanks! Nice to see you. That camera bar back there—I thought it was a tennis net and I thought, «Man, we’ve got tennis in here! That’s awesome! That would make some people very happy.» All right, nice to see you. I get here right [...]

And suddenly, we find ourselves praying the simplest prayers that move Heaven and Earth because they come out of abiding, they come out of surrender, and they come out of the acknowledgment that God is with me. God is with me, not just as a [...]

The Holy Spirit sees what’s going on, and He knows how to lead us into prayers that make history and bring about significance through answers. I have no doubt that thousands, if not millions, of people around the world were interceding and praying [...]

The effort in consistent prayer is not to persuade God; it’s to deal with the powers entrenched in the area we are pushing into, and the process transforms us so that we become responsible stewards of what we’ve just prayed into. Thank you; nice to [...]

I don’t think it’s a leap in logic to see where Jesus connects forgiveness to effective prayer. Listen, when you stand to pray, the context is to move mountains—the obstacles to what you’ve been assigned to do on the earth. So when you stand to [...]

Jesus uses this illustration for repeated day and night prayer, and then God says, «I’m going to answer speedily.» I’m thinking, «Man, I’ve been banging on this door for 15 days; when is this going to open?» He says, «I’m going to answer speedily,» [...]

The disciples only asked Jesus to teach them one thing. If I were in the disciples' shoes, I might have asked him how to raise the dead, how to heal the sick, or how to perform any number of extraordinary things. The twelve disciples, who were [...]

There’s a picture painted for us in this part of Philippians 4 of a military guard protecting a person’s heart and mind, the place where thoughts come from—the mind itself. That military guard is there because of the previous verse: pray over [...]

This prayer reveals what I believe is a very serious mandate: we are responsible to pray for the blessing of God in our personal lives. In a moment, let’s read Psalm 67 in its entirety. We’re going to focus on one verse, expand on it, share a [...]

Prayers of convenience get answers of convenience. Token prayers get token answers, and costly prayers—those that are literally put on the line—are the ones that actually shape the course of history. Turn, if you would, to Numbers Chapter 16. I’ve [...]

Fasting, for some of us, has sometimes been more likely called a hunger strike. That’s where you announce to God you’re not eating until something happens. It doesn’t earn brownie points, you know. What it does is help you become hungry for [...]

If you’re praying and not receiving any answers, He’s not the problem, but guilt and shame won’t fix the issue either. John 16 describes how Jesus informs His disciples that the sorrow and sadness of His departure will be met with overflowing joy. [...]

Sometimes you just have to step outside of convenience; sometimes you’ve got to go somewhere, sometimes you have to walk on the property, sometimes you have to find the verse that God is breathing on, and you camp there. You make the decree of that [...]

I was designed for a seamless connection; that’s my nature. I was designed to hear from God; it is in my DNA to produce fruit for the glory of God. Is it happening? If it’s not happening at the place where I’m laying down my life, then I need to [...]

The Lord invites us into the inner chambers, if you will, of the King of all Kings, the Lord of all Lords, the great I Am, to converse with Him so that, through the conversation, certain events can be changed and certain things can be affected on [...]

He doesn’t give us the exercise of prayer to keep us busy; he gives us the assignment to pray because of his intention to fulfill the prayers that we pray. Thank you, thank you, thanks, thanks. By the way, Ben Fitz and I think three or four of his [...]

Go ahead and sit down. Thanks, thanks so much. Um, well, I love you too. Thank you. I just feel so much love in the room here. There we go. It’s too high; I can’t see you well on the floor. It was months ago we weren’t able to meet in here, so we [...]

Learn to pray out of abiding. Learn to pray out of the presence. Learn to touch and tap into the heart of God, express that in prayer and decree, and let’s do what we’re supposed to do: make a difference on the earth. It’s from our knees that we [...]

America shall be saved! Why don’t you say that with me? America shall be saved! Now say it again: America shall be saved! One more time! Turn to your neighbor and tell them to put on their seatbelt. For some, it’s already too late. Before we get [...]

Thank you, nice to see you, man. Somebody was long-winded over at Twin View; I don’t know who it was, but uh, anyway, man, I got here just in time. I don’t know what happened; if you’re late, I guess you guys just have to fake it. Chris gets up and [...]

All right, good morning! Glad you showed up. By the way, Eric and Candace send their love from Orlando, Florida, where they are speaking today and I think tomorrow. We have a Kingdom Culture Conference coming up June 26-28. It’s the most unique [...]

Good morning! Eric says hi and sends his love. He’s on his way back from Portugal. We have been organizing events in the UK for quite a while. It’s called the European Leaders Alliance, and I have one that I’ll be doing in a couple of weeks in the [...]

Hello, hello, hello! I miss us! My goodness gracious, this is like the longest fast ever. This is worse than fasting food—fasting hugs should be illegal! In fact, I’m done fasting hugs, so if that bothers you, stay away from me, because I will grab [...]

This is an excerpt from: All Those Times You Didn’t See You may be praying for a certain thing you need God to do in your body. You may be praying about a mental illness. You may be praying about a way that you want God to give you clarity. It’s [...]

Open your Bibles to Hebrews 12:1. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every weight and everything that hinders, and especially the sin that so easily entangles us. How many people know that there’s [...]

The third thing I want to clarify and bring to your attention is the eschatology of it all. It is essential to understand that one of the signs of the end times is that mothers will be against daughters and fathers will be against sons. The closer [...]

So I asked God if praying with understanding constitutes an intelligent prayer, while praying in the spirit is unintelligent. For years, people who prayed in the spirit claimed it was unintelligent, but God said there’s a difference between being [...]

I’m going to give you a few ways that Jesus models prayer and the benefits of prayer for you to jot down. Number one: peace in the storm. Peace in the storm is a result of communion with God. They are in a tornado, and Jesus is at rest. This is what [...]

There Hannah is. Let’s go back to Hannah, laying on the altar. Eli, who would later be beheaded, would almost break his neck, falling backward. It’s significant that he broke his neck; headship is changing. His daughter would hear about it, go into [...]

Welcome to «Live With Passion»! I’m Father Cedric Pisegna. I want to proclaim to you from the Gospel of Luke. This is Luke chapter 6: «In these days, Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. When it was [...]

Hi, I’m Father Cedric Pisegna. Welcome to the program. This is the third Sunday of Lent. The gospel is from John. «Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem and he found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and [...]
