Fasting on SermonAudio

Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting at Buffalo Ridge Baptist Church in Gray, Tn.

The sermon outlines the spiritual weapons available to believers for overcoming ongoing spiritual battles, emphasizing that victory comes through reliance on God rather than human strength. Key themes include the authority of Jesus' name, the power of truth against deception, and the liberating force of praise during tribulation. The speaker highlights the foundational role of Christ's blood in securing redemption and the importance of personal testimony as a weapon against the enemy. Additionally, the message stresses the necessity of fasting, intercessory prayer led by the Holy Spirit, and radical forgiveness to remove spiritual hindrances. Ultimately, the central message encourages believers to actively engage these divine resources to walk in confidence and triumph over adversity.

The sermon explores the biblical accounts of giants and interdimensional beings, linking ancient history with modern UFO phenomena and end-times prophecy. It emphasizes the necessity of unwavering faith by contrasting Joshua and Caleb's trust in God with the Israelites' fear and unbelief in Numbers 13. The speaker interprets the cave in Joshua 10 as a typological reference to hell and the defeat of death through Christ's victory on the cross. Key themes include the danger of an evil heart of unbelief, the protection of children below the age of accountability, and the ultimate destruction of all enemies by Jesus. The message urges believers to hold fast to their confidence in God until the end, rejecting deceitful sin and relying solely on Scripture.

2 Timothy 1:13 "Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus." King James Version

Counsel I - Cleave fast to Christ, and the profession you have formerly made of him, what aspect so ever the times have upon you. Psalm 44:18, 19, 20, 21. "Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from your way, though you have sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. If we have forgotten the name of the Lord, or stretched out our hands to a strange God: shall not God search this out? for he knows the secrets of the heart." Hence those new converts, who were turned to the Lord in a time of great temptation and persecution, were so earnestly persuaded, Acts 11:23. "That with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord;" that is as they had made a good choice, so now to stick to their choice, and not repent of it, whatever afterward they should meet with.

Today's sermon examines Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 regarding the danger of practicing righteousness for human approval rather than divine glory. It contrasts the ostentatious and hypocritical giving of the Pharisees with the sincere, secret acts of piety that God alone sees and rewards. Pastor Jason emphasizes that true Christian righteousness penetrates to the heart and motives, rejecting any desire for public acclaim or self-deception. By analyzing specific examples like almsgiving, prayer, and fasting, the message warns against seeking a full reward in this life through performative religion. Ultimately, it calls believers to examine their own hearts and pursue a purity of devotion that honors God above all else.

Satan's trick to block Evangelism is to keep churches busy with activities that aren't related to soul winning. 1. Jesus died once and for all 2. Jesus' sacrifice meets our one death 3. He will appear once more to take us home
