The title of this video teaching is "Let Go and Hold On: The Power of Intercessory Prayer," by Karen Wheaton.

Karen Wheaton is a seasoned Christian minister who founded and leads the youth ministry, The Ramp. She delivers the following impassioned message about the power of unrelenting faith and intercessory prayer. Karen is one of our favorites to listen to for preaching and encouragement. 

Video Description: "In this powerful sermon, Karen Wheaton delivers a heartfelt message on the calling of an intercessor—those who stand between the darkness of the world and the door of God’s house, praying for the return of loved ones who’ve strayed from their faith. Sharing her personal journey of praying for her daughter, Lindsay, Karen unpacks the biblical story of the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4) and reveals what it means to "let go physically but hold on spiritually." With vivid illustration and deep spiritual truth, this message is a call to keep praying, keep believing, and never give up."

Relevant Scripture: 2 Cor 5:18-21 (NLT)  "And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.  For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.  So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”  For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ."

Our prayer for you is that you will step into your calling as an intercessor of God, learning how to pray for family members, your workplace, your city, and your nation.  You are a watchman on the wall.  Hold your ground, in Jesus' Name, Amen.

In this video, Chris Dupre is interviewed by Sid Roth.  As the interview unfolds, Chris describes a face to face encounter with the wild love of Jesus which delivers him from all sorts of addictions and hurts. However, more importantly, through this encounter Chris learns how to love others others - even those who have hurt him - with the same wild love of Jesus.

We encourage you to watch this video with your heart set to receive an impartation of the wild love of God. Learning to love, like Jesus loves, is critical as you discover, unlock and live your Godly destiny.

In this video, Kim Walker shares her testimony of encountering the love of God.  In this series of encounters, Kim learns how much God loves her, how much Jesus loves her, and why God created her.

This testimony is instructive on several fronts.  First, it models how we are to love others as we become more and more Christlike.  Secondly, it links the importance of Godly purpose to God's love for each of us.  Thirdly, we see how personal encounters with Jesus will unlock our Godly destiny by setting us free from those things that keep us bound.

We pray that Kim's testimony encourages you to seek the Lord for yourself as you ask to discover, unlock, and live your Godly destiny.

In this video, Adrian Rogers teaches us about Christ-like love.  He offers four main points which includes:

• Christ-like love is selfless love.
• Christ-like love is steadfast love.
• Christ-like love is serving love.
• Christ-like love is sanctifying love.

By bringing together all of these ideas, Adrian Rogers paints a compelling picture of what it means when we speak of being Christ-like and showing the world the love of Christ.  As you seek to discover, unlock, and live your Godly destiny, you will find that Christ's destiny through your life will include the spiritual and practical application of His type of love to others.

We are fascinated with discovering, unlocking, and standing in our destiny.  We spend inordinate amounts of time considering the nuances of purpose and the impact upon individuals and groups.  But, have we ever stopped to consider what the secret of destiny might be?

Yahya Bakkar takes us on a personal journey of discovery to help answer that question.  Might we all have a key inside of us to unlocking Godly destiny?  We don't want to ruin the punch line, so enjoy the video as you contemplate your own Godly destiny.

Do you ever wonder what your life would look like if fear didn't exist? For example, what if you had the confidence to pursue every passion God gave you?

Just imagine for a moment what that would look like. Well, God gives us a special gift called faith so we can do amazing things for Him. And I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and exercise that gift full time.

You see, faith gives us so much potential. It motivates us to move forward in the plans God has for us. But fear is a feeling Satan uses to keep our focus inward. It makes us feel anxious, causes us to dread the future, and it can keep us from saying and doing things that would reveal more of God's love to the world.

We need to learn to interrupt fear at its onset, before it begins to settle in our spirit. The choice is to either let Satan stop us in our tracks or to go forward in faith, believing God is in control.

The good news is, when we're struggling with fear, we can turn to God's Word for an inspiring, encouraging reality check. Romans 8:31 says, "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Psalm 27:1 says, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom will I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?"

These Scriptures are basically saying that if we believe God's Word, then we have already won.

Jesus tells us in Mark 11:22 that we are to have faith in God constantly. God doesn't want you be fearful at any time. He wants you to be bold, confident, courageous and full of faith every day of your life—not just until you have a problem or until someone mistreats you. There's no until. And no one can stop God from answering a prayer that lines up with His Word and His will for our life.

This video will help you understand how great your calling is in Christ Jesus.

In this video, Bill Hybels discusses Holy discontent, that thing that you can no longer stand.  He encourages you to:

1. Look for that one cause that is beyond the general discontent you might feel as you see the suffering of our world.  Your Holy discontent is that one thing that causes you great angst.
2. Search for the thing that causes that passionate burn within your heart - once discovered, you will find the same thing also burns in God's heart.
3. Feed your Holy discontent - don't medicate or hide from the discomfort - but rather let it drive you to take positive actions.
4. Let a sense of urgency cause a leadership state of mind to arise.
5. Partner with God to remediate the source of your Holy discontent.

In doing this, you will take an important step on the journey to your Godly purpose, and in doing so experience the Joy of the Lord, which will become your joy.

Have you ever wondered what proceeds vision?  What is that passion within an individual, that internal source of power, which animates people to greatness?  What frustrates a person to such a degree that they take action?  What is the thing that you see that you can not stand anymore, your place of Holy discontent?

The Bible says that we are made in God's image.  So, Who is He from whose image we are made?  Don't most people want to know about their natural birth mother and father, so that they might better understand themselves?  How much more should we desire to know our Heavenly Father?

For those alive in Christ, is it not true that we are being made each day into the image of Christ?  So what is He like?  Are we becoming like Him?

​The video above provides an interesting Biblical perspective.  While human language can never fully describe God, it is a place from which to anchor your understanding, as you diligently seek Him and His likeness.
