Many believers often try to take control of their spiritual growth — praying harder, fasting longer, and striving to obey better— with the hopes of influencing God through their own efforts. But this kind of approach yields no results because we don’t have what it takes to affect God. The true success of prayer and fasting, as Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals in this message, is based on one key ingredient that we leave out: the grace and quickening of God.

In this message, “Fasting in Response to God”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter unfolds the purpose of the wilderness experience in causing us to lose confidence in ourselves and rather rely solely on the grace of God. He teaches on what must initiate true prayer and fasting and the grace that is available for these things if we do not seek to do it by our own strength but rather in response to God’s inward stirring. He also emphasizes the role we have to play in yielding, waiting and responding to this inward quickening.  

Pastor Jeffrey also explores what it means to remain in a passive, yielded state before God—ready for His quickening—and shows how fasting helps focus and deepen our affection for the things of God.

As you listen, may you be quickened by the Spirit into deeper intimacy with God, where every fast, every prayer, and every act of obedience becomes a divine partnership rather than a human performance. Shalom!

Scripture: Psalm 80:18-19 (KJV) 18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 19Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 

Spiritual things dwell and find expression in the material things that correspond to them. Our outward engagement can either stifle or allow divine operations to be manifested in our lives. When our outward engagements are rightly aligned, we are able to ‘trap’ the Spirit of God and manifest what is spiritual through our vessels—fasting is a key spiritual exercise that helps us in this regard.

In this message titled “The Doctrine of Fasting,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains the importance of the literal sense of Scripture and highlights why certain representations (practices) outlined in it must be literally engaged in as a crucial part of the Christian experience. He unfolds the spiritual meaning, purpose and significance of fasting, clarifying what it means to fast literally and how believers should approach it. He concludes by urging us to embrace the practice of fasting, emphasising its importance in our walk with God.

As you listen to this message, may you be empowered  to see fasting as an important part of your spiritual journey, and may you approach fasting in the right way. 

Key Scripture: Daniel 9:3 (KJV)

3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

God cares deeply about our material needs as he does about our spiritual needs, but many Christians fail to see the power of God in this light because one essential truth is often missed. These blessings flow only when our hearts are aligned with His Kingdom and His will.

In this message, “In The Light Of The Kingdom - Part 2”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter unveils the divine order for spiritual and material breakthrough and the context within which God’s power can be manifested fully in our lives. He explains what must be our primary concern and focus in life and how every other thing flows or manifests naturally as a result of divine alignment.

He exposes the dangers of self-obsession and how these open doors to oppression. He teaches on how prayer must be approached in order not to pray amiss and what must be the motive that drives our prayer.

Beloved, as you listen to this message, may your heart be reoriented toward the Kingdom of God. May the Lord deliver you from every form of self-centered striving and lead you to surrender your burdens and distractions to Him and his will. Shalom!

Key Scripture: Matthew 6:9-10 KJV

[9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. [10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 

Other scriptures: 1 Corinthians 12:7 KJV

Nothing in the natural realm operates independently; everything in it is passive and governed by the spirit. When negative things occur in the world, they are the result of spiritual influence from hell. True restoration— that is, the return to God’s intended order — begins by addressing the spiritual cause rather than merely treating the physical symptom. Humanity is the bridge between the spiritual and natural realms, and when people align with God, both their lives and creation itself are brought into divine order.

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on growing in the knowledge of God, the importance of the natural life to Him, and how to rightly pursue natural needs and allow the life (Spirit) of God influence our natural life.

In this message titled “Influence from the Unseen Realm”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter highlights the dangers of being obsessed with the natural life and teaches what the legitimate concern of a person should be. He explains the vital relationship between the spiritual and natural realms. 

Finally, he demonstrates how divine alignment removes demonic influence, restores passivity (order) and makes us instruments of God’s purpose on earth.

May the Lord grant you spiritual perception and set you firmly on the path of restoration as you listen to this message. 

Key Scripture: Philippians 3:20-21 [KJV]

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

In the previous message of this series (The Importance of the Natural Life to God), it was explained that God is just as interested in our natural (external) lives as He is in our spiritual lives, because of its importance to the spiritual life. However, the one who goes to God for the provision of their natural needs should be wary of being obsessed with those needs, as such obsessions block the reception of God's will. What then is the righteous approach to seek for the needs of our natural life? 

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on growing in the knowledge of God, the importance of the natural life to Him, and how to rightly pursue natural needs and allow the life (Spirit) of God influence our natural life. 

In this message titled “In the Light of the Kingdom of God,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches that our pursuit of the needs of the external life must be within the context of God’s Kingdom. He explains that while God cares about our needs in the natural, our reason and approach to meeting them must align with His divine will. He also highlights what it truly means to seek our needs in the light of the Kingdom, revealing how the will of God should influence every aspect of our lives. 

Beloved, this message will urge you to prioritize the prosperity of God's kingdom in all your life’s choices and pursuits.

What does God truly value? While we often focus on the material life, God's eternal focus is on two realities: love and wisdom. His greatest work is to establish these within our hearts, so that we may perceive the reality of His Kingdom. How does this work trickle down into the natural life? Does God even care about the material aspects of our existence? 

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on growing in the knowledge of God, the importance of the natural life to Him, and how to rightly pursue natural needs and allow the life (Spirit) of God influence our natural life.

In this episode titled 'The Importance of the Natural Life to God', Pastor Jeffrey Walter explores the profound reason why God is interested in our everyday, natural lives. He teaches that the purpose of the physical is inherently eternal, and that God works towards our salvation by ensuring that what is eternal is established within us. 

This message will challenge the mindset that seeks only external help, guiding you to understand that spiritual help must automatically result in natural blessing. You will understand the rightful place of the natural life and its relevance in the Kingdom of God.

As Christians, many of us claim to know God because we have read Scripture, listened to sermons, and learnt doctrine. Yet the question remains — do we really know Him as He is? Does our knowledge of Him bring us into the peace and victory He has promised to all who truly know Him? 

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter teaches on growing in the knowledge of God, the importance of the natural life to Him, and how to rightly pursue natural needs and allow the life (Spirit) of God influence our natural life. 

In this message titled “The Knowledge of God”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter explains why our understanding of God is often inaccurate, demonstrating how those who receive true doctrine also stand the risk of misconstruing it. He shows how we can know whether our knowledge of Him is true while uncovering the dangers of having a misconstrued understanding of God, as well as the blessings of truly knowing Him. He finally reveals the sure way we can truly know God and urges us to continually pursue a deeper knowledge of Him. 

Beloved, as you listen to this message, may you be inspired to be open to improving your knowledge of God, that you may know Him as He truly is. 

Key Scripture: Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)

True spiritual pursuit is not about personal comfort or gain but about seeking the fulfillment of God’s will. It is the alignment of our desires with what God intends to accomplish in and through us. Transformation and deliverance, therefore, are not ends in themselves—they are to manifest the glory of God.

In this message, “Spiritual Appropriation - Part 3”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter highlights the importance of being in the spirit. Drawing from the context of ends, causes and effects, he emphasises how crucial it is to have the right desire in pursuing God. 

He explains why sometimes, God's presence cannot be appropriated due to the evil orientation of our hidden desires. Pastor Walter also details the cost and mindset required for true spiritual pursuit, and how the glory of God can be manifested through us.

May the Lord purify your desires and help you pursue Him with the right heart, so that His glory may be revealed in you and through you.

Key Scriptures: 

1 Corinthians 6:20 [KJV]

As believers, we often claim to know God and the many blessings He has made available to us, yet we still fail to receive them. This poses a fundamental question: do we truly know Him, or are we so blinded to who He really is that we cannot receive from Him? 

In this message titled “Curing Blindness,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter uncovers and explores the meaning and levels of spiritual blindness, revealing how God heals our blindness by His Word. He emphasises the importance of gaining complete healing from spiritual blindness and developing a true inner perception of who God is. Pastor Walter cautions against remaining in our ‘blindness’ and urges steadfast obedience to the Word that comes to us, assuring that God is faithful to open our eyes to truly know Him as He is in the Spirit. 

Beloved, as you listen to this message, may you be strengthened to surrender fully to God and allow Him to open your eyes to see Him as He truly is in the Spirit. 

Key Scripture: Mark 8:25 (KJV)

25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

Believers often experience the tangible presence of God yet remain unchanged or unaffected; at best, the impact is fleeting. Through obedience and inner transformation, believers become aligned with the Spirit of God, allowing His presence to abide within them and produce real, lasting change in their lives.

In this message, “Spiritual Appropriation – Part 1,” Pastor Jeffrey Walter defines the concept of spiritual appropriation. He explains how believers can bridge the gap between merely sensing God’s presence and retaining the lasting benefits of that presence through inner transformation. He reveals how the Spirit of Truth operates and how believers can enter into a state of peace and rest in God. Ultimately, he urges believers to maintain a heart posture that enables them to hold onto God’s presence until His full purpose is realized in their lives.

This message will help you understand how to receive and retain what God imparts as you experience His presence.
