Are You a Living Martyr?

Are you a living martyr and fully given into the hands of Jesus? Don't answer yes too quickly but rather listen and consider your own ways and allow the Holy Spirit to search your heart.

Scriptures Used During Today’s Broadcast: Romans 12:1-2, Genesis 22, Hebrews 3, Hebrews 4

Pastor Ray begins today’s broadcast by asking if we are living martyrs and then goes through several scriptures laying this out very clearly, even use the model in the New Testament to cement what this looks like.

Pastor Ray walks us through the Old Covenant to help create a pictorial diagram of the New or Everlasting Covenant. The key question to ask yourself is have you given everything, every area of your life, fully into the hands of Jesus? That’s a question we can only answer after much prayer because the heart is deceitfully wicked (See Jeremiah 17:9-10).

Praying in the Spirit literally means praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to his will. Praying in the Spirit is when I am praying in absolute agreement with the Spirit. I am praying at the quickening of his power in me. It’s when I am able to be moved in the Spirit in accord with the will of God. This is what the old timers used to call praying through.
