Pastor Ray Bentley Of Maranatha Chapel

Pastor Ray Bentley explains the difference between real faith and a faith veneer. Actual faith and the kind of faith that saves, that delivers the kind of faith it brings. The miraculous is faith that does something. Okay, God, when you open the way, when you part the Red sea, when you do the miracle, when all follow. And God is saying, actually, I'm ready to do the miracle, but I need you to step into the water.

Pastor Ray Bentley with a word today about testimonies. Every testimony has a test that is out of the test that you gain your testimony. So each one of us will be tested, and it's by passing the test that you really do genuinely believe and obey the message of salvation. And here's what happened when I opened my heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, and it's passing the test that gives us our test to spread.

Pastor Ray Bentley highlights today's study on Maranatha radio. When the children of Israel stepped into Jericho and into the land of Canaan, you know what God was bringing revival. He was casting out the generations of demonic, violent strongholds and replace it with peace and love and joy in the fruit of the spirit, and paving the way for the Messiah to come.

Pastor Ray Bentley with a word about today's study of the life of Rahab. I want to say this about a Rahab and what she did for the Lord. Real faith leads to courageous action. It's not enough for you to claim to be a Christian. It's not enough for you to go to church. It's not enough for you to say the right things and be in the right places.

As we take ground for the kingdom. Pastor Ray Bentley says expect opposition. The enemy will resist. He will say, you know, that's my territory. I own that in you. You have to enforce your victory and command him. Get off! This belongs to my father, and now it belongs to me. And I'm building on it for his kingdom and glory.

Pastor Ray Bentley has words of encouragement today from Joshua. I say to every single one of you, you have a role to play that no other human being can fulfill. If you don't fulfill your life's calling and use your gift, nobody else will be able to do it for you. They have to do their part, and so we must put our foot down and claim God's promises.

Pastor Ray Bentley explains how we can reach our culture. Are you willing to be a few fat Christians? That's an acronym. Number one faithful, faithful men. Number two, are you available? And number three, are you teachable? Are you willing to be faithful and available and teachable? And are you willing to start with humility and serve? And if you are, you could be the next Joshua for a new generation spreading disease.

Pastor Ray Bentley begins a study in the book of Joshua Joshua as a slave in Egypt. God was preparing him for a far greater calling. He would be the one to lead the children of Israel in to the Promised Land. So I say to you that God, your father, has began preparing for you and your calling. Long before you were saved.

The world right now is dying on the vine for peace. People are so angry and yelling and threatening and fighting with each other because they don't have any peace. Pastor Ray Bentley says what the world needs now is Jesus. That's his character. That's his essence. That is his name. Everything that Jesus is is peace. So move toward him.

The Bible advises us to watch for Jesus return. Pastor Ray Bentley says we are all eager for that day. People are saying, you know, it has Ray. Is this the end? They're asking me as a pastor. Is this the end? Here's my answer. We have never been so close to the end as we are now.
