God’s Hand in Natural Calamities

God’s Hand in Natural Calamities

Pastor Jack teaches from the book of Joel, showing how God uses natural calamities to awaken nations to their need for Him. Drawing parallels between ancient Israel's locust plague and contemporary events like the New York blackout and unusual weather patterns, he calls the church to fasting and intercessory prayer as God's means of breaking spiritual bondage. Pastor Jack proclaims that God not only removes the enemy but abundantly blesses, restores lost years, and pours out His Spirit on those who turn to Him.
Prevailing Over Hell’s Gates

Prevailing Over Hell’s Gates

Pastor Jack draws from Matthew 16 to explore the church's authority in prevailing over the gates of hell through prayer and intercession. Using vivid illustrations from his recent mission to Japan, he teaches that spiritual victory comes not through programs or human effort, but through the power of words spoken in prayer?binding and loosing as God directs. Pastor Jack challenges believers to discern specific "gates" or strategic strongholds of darkness and to pray with authority, believing that God's sovereign purposes are released on earth only when His people faithfully intercede.
The Responsibility of Warfare

The Responsibility of Warfare

Pastor Jack launches a new series on spiritual warfare, calling the congregation to a long-term commitment of intercessory prayer for nations. He distinguishes between periodic prayer and becoming a continual spiritual warrior, emphasizing that the church has been given an assignment to occupy until Christ returns by extending the victory of Calvary through prayer. Pastor Jack also addresses the congregation's prayer for China, updates them on Luann Chumley's battle with cancer, and leads the church in intercession against the spirit of perversion in the nation through worship and thanksgiving.
The Principle of Pursuit

The Principle of Pursuit

Pastor Jack teaches from Revelation 2 about the principle of pursuit in spiritual warfare and intercession. Drawing from the promise that overcomers will rule the nations with Christ, he explains that spiritual victory requires persistent, relentless prayer?not just momentary encounters with the enemy. Using examples from Scripture and a personal family crisis involving cancer, Pastor Jack challenges the church to sustained intercession for nations, particularly China, refusing to retreat until the works of darkness are completely scattered and dismantled.
Earthquakes and Spiritual Invasion

Earthquakes and Spiritual Invasion

Pastor Jack draws from the account of the resurrection and the earthquakes that accompanied both Christ's death and resurrection, teaching that spiritual upheavals in the heavenly realms often manifest as physical earthquakes. He connects this biblical pattern to recent earthquakes in China and the Philippines, suggesting these may signal spiritual breakthrough as the global church intercedes for the Orient. Pastor Jack commissions Duane and Luann Chumlee as the first missionaries sent from the Church on the Way to Hong Kong, marking a strategic expansion of the church's vision from national to global intercession.
