Girding in Prayer for Growth

Girding in Prayer for Growth

In this message from July 3, 1977, Pastor Jack explores God's call for the Church on the Way to become a house of prayer for all nations. He teaches from 1 Timothy 2 about the priority of intercessory prayer, explaining how the congregation is learning to pray for nations around the world, for the United States, and for government leaders. Pastor Jack also introduces a significant new direction: beginning in August, the church will launch home group meetings throughout the Los Angeles area, extending ministry beyond the building while maintaining spiritual authority and coordination.
De-Mystifying the Mysterious

De-Mystifying the Mysterious

Pastor Jack explores the biblical concept of "mystery" from Ephesians chapter 1, explaining that it means a secret now openly revealed. Drawing from numerous New Testament passages, he teaches that God has removed all guesswork about His will, pleasure, and purpose toward believers, inviting us into full understanding of His workings and partnership in His power. Pastor Jack also addresses practical matters of the church's prayer ministry and property purchase plans.
How to Receive God’s Triumph

How to Receive God’s Triumph

Pastor Jack teaches on spiritual warfare using the powerful account from 2 Chronicles 20, where Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah faced overwhelming military opposition. Drawing from the classic episode where a choir led Israel's army into battle, he unpacks the patterns of praise and worship that brought God's triumph, showing how these principles apply to every battle we face?whether for our families, provision, health, or the nations God has called us to possess.
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 Three Part Person, Pt. 1

The Three Part Person, Pt. 1

Pastor Jack teaches on the tripartite nature of human beings?spirit, soul, and body?drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:23. He explains how each dimension functions: the body relates to world-consciousness through the senses, the soul encompasses mind, emotions, and will as our self-consciousness, and the spirit is our God-consciousness and the fountain of all life. Pastor Jack emphasizes that spiritual vitality flows from our connection with God through Christ, and that keeping the Holy Spirit flowing within us?especially through praying in the Spirit?is essential for overcoming darkness, temptation, and bondage at every level of our being.
