Does your inner man and outer man match in the spirit or are you still a brute beast?

In order to make it to the Celestial City, both our outward and inward lives must reflect true holiness. This will require much repentance and many tears even though these actions will not earn salvation but rather they reflect the decision we've made to follow Jesus come what may.



Pastor Ray briefly references a character from Pilgrim's Progress named Talkative, who talked the talk but inwardly was a brute beast and an enemy of Jesus. Who are you? Are you willing to be honest before Jesus and allow Him to both uncover your heart and to utterly transform you?

Don't believe and try to do it alone, whatever you're facing...

The biggest challenge of this walk to Jesus is to wait upon Him for His will to be accomplished. Listen to today's message and encourage your heart to wait upon Jesus!

Have you made a covenant with Jesus to be brutally honest with Jesus... about everything.

The Glory of God of God is an awesome thing and will result in great joy and refreshment or judgment as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira. The only safe way to prepare for such a visitation is to be absolutely honest about everything before Him. Are you ready for the glory of Jesus to come?

Are you willing to put off the old and put on the new man?

Pastor Ray continues in Pilgrim's Progress as Christian leaves the valley of humiliation. The call is to put off the old man and put on the new man. Are you suffering because you're wanting to walk out your life your way or are you suffering because you've fully given yourself to Jesus? We must also allow the fire of God to melt away all shame and the fear of man in our hearts. Listen to the message and allow the Holy Spirit to deal with your heart today.

Stay close to Jesus during these valleys as the devil will attempt to take you out.

Today's broadcast was a special live presentation about the "death to self" that Pastor Ray has been talking over in detail over the last couple of weeks. He describes the two valleys he talked about yesterday, the Valley of Humiliation which leads into the Valley of the Shadow of Death. We must go through both valleys in order to enter the Celestial city. Hold onto Jesus and don't let Satan lead you astray!
