Praying With an Understanding Heart ? 1977

Praying With an Understanding Heart ? 1977

Pastor Jack teaches on praying with understanding, particularly focusing on understanding God the Father's heart. He addresses three common misunderstandings that hinder prayer: misunderstanding praise (not everything that happens is God's will), misunderstanding presumption (we can boldly ask according to His will), and misunderstanding persistence (God is ready to answer quickly, not reluctantly). Drawing from 1 Corinthians 14, Luke 11 and 18, and other passages, Pastor Jack emphasizes that God is not a capricious deity but a loving Father who desires to bless His children.
How to Praise in a Crisis

How to Praise in a Crisis

In this message, Pastor Jack teaches from 2 Chronicles 20, exploring the story of King Jehoshaphat and Israel's miraculous victory over invading armies through praise and worship. Pastor Jack emphasizes that this triumph was not simply about praising God, but about a people grounded in God's Word who obeyed His prophetic direction, fasted and prayed, and responded in faith to what the Lord promised to do. He applies these principles both personally and corporately, calling the church to spiritual preparedness during a pivotal season.
The Ministry of Angels

The Ministry of Angels

In this message, Pastor Jack explores the often-overlooked biblical doctrine of angels and their ministry to believers. Drawing from Hebrews 12 and Revelation 4-5, he teaches that angels are messengers assigned by God to execute His will, protect His people, and work in cooperation with the church. Pastor Jack reveals how the Church on the Way came to understand that when God's people align themselves with the throne of God through ceaseless praise, they participate with the angelic hosts who continually worship around God's throne, establishing His rulership in their midst.
The Power of Praise

The Power of Praise

Pastor Jack teaches on the power of praise as a fundamental principle of God's creative work in the universe. Drawing from Acts 16 and other passages, he explains how corporate praise releases divine power for evangelism, prepares the way for victory, and creates an atmosphere where God does His most glorious creative works. Through prophecies given to the congregation over five years, Pastor Jack shows that praise is not merely religious expression but a biblical principle that brings breakthrough, deliverance, and ongoing miracles.
