Into the Pray

Hello!

Thank you very much to you all for listening and especially those who track with us regularly and support our work. If you would like to join our small group of patrons, you can do so here.

Our Friday session this week is the audio version of our new vlog/video series that starts today over on YouTube.  Entitled, 'To The Church In Great Britain', you can subscribe to see the videos here and WATCH the premier here.

PLEASE N.B: 1) the audio from the vlogs will not be featuring here on the podcast after today. 2) Christopher Ash will be on the podcast next Friday with arguably a world-class look at the prophetic significance of the book of Psalms.

To The Church in Great Britain

For a few months now we have wanted to compare and contrast two very popular podcast series with a view of holding high and aloft the reality that Paul thunders in 2 Corinthians 2:11, that we should not be 'unaware of the devil's schemes'.

By focusing on Christianity Today's podcast series, The Rise & Fall of Mars Hill, and the BBC's secular podcast examination of the Waco tragedy in February 1993, End of Days, there are certainly schemes to note and historic lessons to learn.

But are these the schemes and strategies and lessons that we might think strike us as being obvious? We believe that there are more nefarious schemes of Satan hidden beneath the surface.

Join us over the next few months as we showcase probing questions to (and honest responses from) church leaders across Great Britain.

Are you a church leader? Then you will be very conscious of Jesus' terms and conditions in the first three books of Revelation.

This vlog series focuses on Jesus' words in chapter 3:1-3:

Revelation 3:1–3 (ESV)

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and STRENGTHEN WHAT REMAINS and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you"

Hello!

Thank you all for listening to Into the Pray.

In our Wednesday session this week, Nick and Dave continue to discuss the intimate interconnectedness of abortion and transgender ideology.

**CORRECTION: Reference to the conversation with Laurie Penny - “morally reprehensible” was, of course, addressing the position of being pro-life rather than being pro-abortion.**

Why would we do well to listen to what Jordan Peterson says, whether he is personally taking a stand for Jesus or not?  Check this.

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

Today's teaching focus is on vv 4-7 of 1 Corinthians 12.

Why should we resist spirituality?

"...having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." (2 Timothy 3:5)

What should the common good look like in our churches?

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

What you will hear in this week's Friday session is the full audio from a video call with Melvin Tinker in which Nick asks some important questions for our new video series over on YouTube.

Melvin's contribution is important, bold, clear and helpful so we wanted you to hear it in its fullness!

What is the root problem in the Church today?

Where many church leaders are liberal, "progressive", deconstructionist, more culturally controlled than they have the courage to admit and responding to Satan's schemes by rejecting evangelical truth wholesale… (forget the evangelical wing of denominationalism, we're not talking about that; we're talking about biblical truth), ….shouldn’t we be exposing the devil's strategy? (Ephesians 5:11).

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

Today's episode contains ten minutes of audio from a Facebook LIVE video in which Dave Brennan speaks with Laurie Penny at Parliament Square, London, regarding abortion and related feminist/transgender ideologies.

We begin this week to discuss the interconnectedness of "pro-choice" thinking, the abortion industry and other ideologies that are aggressively trampling conscience, common sense and freedom of thought/speech.

Intimidating as they are (check the first ten seconds of Dave's conversation with Laurie) what impact is this all giving on the lover and follow of Jesus - aka genuine disciples of the coming King?

Hello!

Thank you for listening to our teaching series through the book of 1 Corinthians.

You can watch today's episode - including the Narnia clip - on YouTube here.

Today we focus on the first three verses of chapter 12 as we begin a period of study concerning the Holy Spirit.

Does the Holy Spirit give spiritual gifts today or not? Does it really matter? Can’t we just agree to disagree?

Hello!

Welcome again to Into the Pray - thank you for listening.

Today we speak with The Rt Hon. Ann Widdecombe, ex-MP, ex-MEP, political commentator, author and TV personality. You can browse Ann's website here.

It was nearer the beginning of the COVID situation that we spoke with Ann previously. You can listen to that here and watch it on YouTube here.

This brief conversation regarding Ann's vast experience in the political world is to help us continue to think about our season focus of 'All the Prophets' and the prospect of being "politically correct or prophetically correct?"

We didn't do Isaiah justice today but Ann does help us think about his life and the role of the Prophets generally. We discuss the relationship between the monarchy and the Spirit of prophecy and the frailty of relying on the establishment.

In what might feel like quite a dreary outlook regarding the prospect of the power of the Spirit in our midst,  the most significant thought from Ann is right at the end.

"For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Revelation 19:10[b])

What do you think?

Many thanks again to Ann for her time in recording with us!

Hello!

Thank you for tuning in to our mid-week session of Into the Pray!

Our episode with Dave Brennan today previews the next 12 weeks or so as we race towards the end of another year.

We will be discussing the following as faithfully as we know how to:

- Predestination
- Transgender ideology
- Prayer/intercession & activism/street work
- Forging communities of prayer
- "Is your church like this...?"

"For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2: 7-12)

"From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force..." (Matthew 11:12)

"Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:29-30)

We meet again with Ann Widdecombe on Friday regarding the life of Isaiah and next month we have Christopher Ash helping us with our season series on "All the Prophets". (Author of umpteen books, including one of our faves, Bible Delight, Christopher is something of an authority on the Psalms).

Hello!

Thank you for joining us again for our teaching series through the book of 1 Corinthians. This is episode 35 and today we finish chapter 11 by focusing on vv 27-34.

The David Prior quote from today's session:

“...this marks the beginning of a separation between the love-feast and the eucharist. This…is a timely reminder that the Christian worship in Corinth was of a more informal nature, took place in private homes, incorporated both liturgical and spontaneous elements, and was not confined to one hour’s devotions in a specially-constructed building which remained virtually unused for the rest of the week.”

Do you have any thoughts?
How has the last session been in your heart/mind/prayers?
Do you have any questions?
Do you have any disagreements?
Do you have any testimony? 

Please do get in touch here!

This coming Wednesday, don't miss our preview of what's to come in our mid-week sessions over the next 3 months before the end of the year and we finish season 4.

We will be talking about transgender ideology, predestination, intercession and activism combined as well as posing some difficult questions for all of us as we survey the general landscape of the Church.

You can watch Wednesday's discussion with Dave Brennan via YouTube here where you can also subscribe for our new VLOG series examining Christianity Today's podcast series, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. 

In a couple of weeks from now we meet again with Ann Widdecombe regarding the life of Isaiah and next month we have Christopher Ash helping us with our season series on "All the Prophets". Author of umpteen books, including one of our faves, Bible Delight, Christopher is something of an authority on the Psalms.

Hello!

Thank you all for listening to our podcast...we're grateful for all of you.

For this week's Friday episode of Into the Pray, we want to bring your attention to our forthcoming YouTube videos related to Christianity Today's podcast series, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill.

We will be doing our best to adopt our own version of long-form/story-telling to respond to CT's podcasts by comparing and contrasting them with another epic podcast series from the BBC.

Please sit back with a brew and listen to us explain this in more detail today.

As part of our "All the Prophets" season (finishing in December 2021), we will be rooting this VLOG series in Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 2:11:

"...so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs."

If you're interested in these VLOGs, please subscribe to our YouTube channel here.

You can contact us here.

Look out for our conversation about Isaiah with Ann Widdecombe next Friday.

Finally, with this kind of production in mind, please would you help us with 3 things?

1) Consider becoming a supporter of this podcast here to help us develop this media further;
2) Forward this episode to your networks and, if you haven't already,
3) Rate Into the Pray and leave a review on whatever platform you get your podcasts on.
