Africhrist Inspirational Prayer Podcasts

The scriptures teach that there are two types of wisdom one is human wisdom and the other is God’s wisdom. In the Book of James chapter 3 verses 13 through 17 we see a clear separation of the two. God’s wisdom is described among other virtues as being pure and not only it produce spiritual peace and mercy but good fruit such as creativity in business and culture for those who ask.
This episode of our popular 7 minutes innovative minicasts is a continuation in our dive into God's Divine Wisdom..

The Wisdom in the short Book of James in the Bible is so Divine, I can only pray and hope that in this 7 minute podcast of chapter 1, I did it justice… be blessed

In this 7 minute minicast,  we are going to show you how to pray with impact by understanding the power in the name of Jesus based on knowing its relationship with the many Names of God. We are going to look at the God’s name through its various iterations relating to the Old Testament Hebrew Names of God Almighty using two examples to get you started.
Jehovah Rohi, The Lord is my shepherd andJehovah Nissi, The Lord is my Banner.
 As Christians we may have encountered many of these iterations but really may never have gone deeper than a simple mention of them either in prayer or songs of worship.
Listen in and be blessed

Blessed Assurance Friend of God video minicast intro
As we all know it always feels good and reassuring to know that there is someone in your life who would stand by you and vouch for you no matter what, to the point of even assisting others related to you based on the friendship he has with you.

You are covered by Jesus' intercession now and alway!
The Bible clearly states through various scriptures, that Jesus has an ongoing ministry of intercession. This is so important that the Word of God mentions it in several scriptures some of which we share in this mini cast. Believers have assurance of answered prayer especially when they understand and take advantage of foundational truths of Jesus’ intercession ministry. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the TROIKA,  act as One on our behalf and we learn that:
Our Assurance is in Jesus
it is okay to petition with confidence
Our confidence is in his completed victory at Calvary 
Our certainty is in his current position and proven record
When God sees our faith in action, he is moved (Mark 2:4-5)
When we take the step to pray, God moves his powerful hand on our behalf (Isaiah 37:21, 2Chronicles 20 )

God makes bold statements 
Learn to use God’s bold statements for yourself to live as a fearless overcomer even under the toughest challenges. 
This 7 minute minicast, will  encourage you and give you some quick start Scriptures as examples on how to speak with scriptural boldness.
The book of proverbs says that 
“Every word of God is tested and refined [like silver]; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words, Or He will reprove you, and you will be found a liar.”
Then Isaiah quotes God saying:
“I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner… I, the Lord, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.”

Emotional Trauma, it is possible to overcome. Listen in, this 7 minute video minicast may be just for you
 
Have you ever noticed that the nature and tone of this first encounter in person or even on the air, elicits certain emotions and will actually affect our reactions and influence our next statement or move? On this encounter, what if say we receive an unexpected disappointing medical diagnosis or other unhappy news for example about the demise of a loved one? It could be a job lay off, loss or simply some  other bad news….

In this minicast we introduce you to some principles of prayer on how to release the viral replication ability of your gifts and talents. They are applicable to almost any situation that you’re led to pray about. They are simple and could be introduced to a child. God expects us to be productive with the gifts he endowed us with and when we do, there is what we have called  a replication effect in productivity that leads to an exponential path that speeds up to the intended result. Please listen in but as always read the Bible and pray for Holy Spirit direction and guidance

We are going to explore a few nuggets from scripture that will help you understand the the power of faith you already have within you to help you pray with impact regardless of who you are as long as you a believer in Christ Jesus

Jesus was a public person. His teachings always revolved around people and he sought out people in their spaces. He went to a party of tax collectors and sinners (Matthew 9:10-17).
Jesus mixed with people but he never let them influence him, rather he ended up influencing and changing them. Take 7 minutes of your time to see the amazing clarity of God's Word you may have missed

Take these 7 minutes of Biblical Nuggets 
Tuning into the Prayer Power of Silent Surrender
Waiting on God is like Spiritual Blue Tooth gadgets electronically "pairing" to communicate. 
Silent surrender of our spirit is necessary to pair with God's Spirit to communicate. God says:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms. 46:10)
Silent surrender requires that you understand, your position in Christ.
Surrender in this case, is not surrendering to issues and circumstances against you or even to the Devil, but rather to the Will of God. It means you “give in and let go” in the natural in order to pair with God in the spirit realm.
Prayers offered after one grasps this principle produce such confidence in prayer character that it may look to some to be “arrogance” and yet to others, as a weakness.
This is the confidence of Jesus that used in one of the only few statements He made while on trial, to correct Pilate in John 19:10-11. He knew who He was and Pilate had no power over his life unless handed to him from God.
“Waiting on God is a type of prayer that requires the “stilling” of everything around us in order for us to focus only on Him.

Be a character witness friend of God
It always feels good to know that there’s someone in your life who would stand by you and vouch for you no matter what!
Someone who would stand as your evidential character witness Now imagine that person to be God Almighty? Can you imagine yourself to be God’s evidential character witness and his friend? The friend he makes reference to? In this episode we look at some Bible examples some of whom God calls his friends, face to face.
These are characters for us to freely emulate and become God’s friends as well!
 
 

In this final episode and blog we are going to see that God’s Presence is what takes away our fears.
Throughout our journey of life, we like sojourners on a train, owning our seat or place in the suite or room on the train. God knows your itinerary. He says so in Jeremiah 29;11 “for I know the plans I have for you, they are for good and not evil…” In particular I dedicate this podcast to all survivors of any attack but especially of illnesses such as cancer.

The Power Behind Women Who Speak With God
Usually, their prayer simply starts with “Oh Lord, I pray…”
In this unique, insightful and revelatory episode, we show the power behind four women who  simply speak to God following the path of 3 P’s namely Protection (Nurturing), Prayer and Praise. Three of them are the Biblical figures of Miriam, Hanna  and Mary. The fourth one is contemporary and is simply, your mother. This is the path that fulfilled the prophecy in Isaiah 33:22 that stated that our God is the Lawgiver, Our Judge and Our King. 
Through this path God gave us Moses, Samuel, Jesus and YOU. It’s the path of Redemption that shows you the amazing power and oneness of the Trinity and God’s love and desire to reach man.

JESUS GOT YOU COVERED..The Lord of Intercession
When you have done all you can, stand and wait on The Lord of Intercession.
The Bible tells us that before Jesus died, he said “It is finished”. Actually he said “Tetelestai” which means it is “completed”. In John 14:6 earlier he had said that “I am The Way, The Truth and The life”.  Now on the Cross he tells us that he has  “completed”the construction of “The Way”!
In this episode will introduce you to the “Intercessory Loop”, his only ministry “ad continuum” mentioned in Romans 8:34 seated at the Right hand of God
They that wait on the Lord will soar like eagles…Isaiah 40:31

“Now Faith Is…the journey you make it” 
Are you are a parent, guardian, mentor, leader of any kind spiritual, business or political, teacher?
You will be amazed to see that you have been operating with more faith than you give yourself credit for.
Then listen up because your faith is the substance of the things of your hopes and is evidenced by the things you’ve done.
This podcast and accompanying blog at www.prayingwithimpact.com is about YOU. Picture yourself in every scripture, story and testimony presented here but don’t look at what could have been, but rather what is possible ahead of you. You may need a change of path, attitude, behavior or self image. See God first, his Word and promises regarding you, his creation, then put your shoes on and dress up for this journey of faith. 
1 Peter 4:10-11 says this about YOU:
“Each of YOU should use whatever gift YOU have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms”. 
Remember also, Jesus said that greatness is born out of serving others in Mark 10:43 “…But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant…”
We cover several scriptures and stories each one with the aim of helping you the listener or reader seeing yourself as the subject God intended to to be in his story.  Our Theme Scripture below will now make faith more meaningful for you. 
Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” is the substance of your journey.

God Himself baked the building blocks to rebuild your dream and vision in His Word.
So even if you feel like it’s too late and the train of life left you behind at the station, we have great news for you in this episode. Scripture will prove to you that it’s not too late and you’re not at a loss. The vision inside of you was planted by the Almighty Planter and though it may linger, it will come to pass.
Get up and re-ignite it standing on God’s Word. -- See companion notes at www.prayingwithimpact.com
Habakuk 2:2 says:
Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation (vision ) and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the revelation (vision ) awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.

In this episode, you will learn what it takes to take the fear out of death!
According to  I Corinthians 15:52-55, 58
Jesus diluted the sting of death for us all. He took everything they threw at him without a word. They did not realize that as they nailed him to the cross, he carried their baggage and our baggage to be nailed to The Cross with him once and for all.
Our assignment as believers is to carry this message of hope to all especially those who are innocent recipients of human abuse, torture, unjust wars and depravity in every space of life.
Happy Resurrection Day

In this revelatory episode we show how moral injury can be caused by abuse of the privilege of entitlement and show how to avoid it. We trace how the sin of a few in spiritual, civil or civic leadership becomes an iniquity of a generation. 
We contrast the mishandling of entitlement by Eli, his sons of Eli, sons of Samuel and king Saul, with the Ebenezer spirit of Joseph, Nehemiah and Ezra.
We show the negative effect of flawed character on prayer. We then contrast with the positive effects of faith, good character, and service.
 
You will understand why entitlement is a privilege to serve. 
That is why Jesus said that for one to be great, they must serve others. The very foundation of answered prayer is serving the will of God.
The sin of a few can become an iniquity for generations
We can all be an Ebenezer, the stone of help. 
 

When God makes a statement in the Bible, it is not a supposition originating from a hypothesis, evolving into a theory then stated or established as fact or point of contention. Rather, God starts at fact and calls to the depth of your faith to believe the fact.  Theory and science may or may not be able to affirm its existence. It is still a fact because He is God and Sovereign. This is a tough position to take especially as our knowledge increases.
God’s existence, actions and  acts of creation are not dependent on the preponderance of evidence, so to speak. They are fact because He Is. The Great I AM.
In this podcast we show that, we live in between the scriptures Genesis 2:7 and Hebrews 9:7
Fact: God, Elohim created us in His image, Jesus Christ , The wisdom of God.
