Ray Bentley

Many have wondered when Jesus will return. Entire books have been written on the subject. Pastor Ray Bentley brings clarity. I am saying this directly and emphatically. We are living in the last days. But let me also tell you this. Do you know when the last days actually began? When Jesus rose from the dead 2000 years ago. But would you agree with me that we're a lot closer to the end of the last days than they were 2000 years ago?

Having a hard time trusting God completely. Well, today, pastor Ray Bentley says read God's word frequently. The more you know of the Bible, the more you learn about God. You can believe more and you can believe more about him. Get to know him better. Trust him in a bigger way. And as your faith grows, your belief grows. Your ability and capacity to receive the glory of God also spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley on fear versus faith. Sin brought fear into our lives. All of us. Battle. Fear. Fear is the enemy of faith. And God's will for your life is to remove more and more and more fear to be replaced by more and more and more faith. Until ultimately, there is no fear at all in your life. Spread disease.

There's so much uncertainty in our world. But pastor Ray Bentley reminds us of something that is certain now and for the future. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are the chosen of God. It has nothing to do with you, per se. It's all the glory goes to him. You are the chosen of God. He loves you.

Pastor Ray Bentley talks today about the right kind of hope. There's a difference between biblical hope and worldly hope. Worldly hope. It may happen. It may not. But we hope. Some biblical hope. There's no way it cannot happen. Why? Because our hope is actually predicated on something that happened in the past. Jesus resurrection from the dead. This is history.

Sometimes we think God can't handle our honesty. Today, pastor Ray Bentley says he can. There come times in your life where you can't fold your hands and say nice little spiritual prayers. And in fact, if you're really going to get honest with God, you don't want people to hear. God loves that kind of prayer. God gives you literal, tangible evidence that I will never leave you nor forsake you.

Talking to God is a privilege. Pastor Ray Bentley says Scripture puts it high on our priority list. The Bible says pray without ceasing. I say, well, yeah, okay, that's got to be a metaphor, right? Well maybe not. We almost incessantly spend time worrying and being anxious if there's something that bothers you. It's important. While Almighty God, if it affects you, he wants to hear about spreading you.

Pastor Ray Bentley says, we all eventually learned the benefits of being in God's will. Experience will teach you that the best place on planet Earth you can be. No matter what the circumstances are. Is in the middle of the will of God. I would rather be in the wilderness, in the center of God's will, than in the midst of luxury and lavishness, out of the will of God.

Pastor Ray Bentley says the first step in getting the help we need is realizing we need help. Maybe the very first time we were really honest in our lives that we will never forget is when we heard the gospel and we finally admitted that I am lost and I need to be found, that I am a sinner and that I am broken, and that I need to be forgiven and heal.

Life comes with suffering. It's often not optional. But pastor Ray Bentley helps us see suffering through spiritual eyes. The very fact that your life has been full of trials and tribulations and trouble is a sign that you are suffering because you've hung in there and hung on to the Lord and your faith to this very day and hour.
