“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.

We all have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week. But have you ever wondered how other people do multiple things successfully where you are stuck on one in the same amount of time?

Knowingly or unknowingly some have discovered the key. It’s available to all humanity without restrictions.
In this episode we will show you the basic Bible scripture keys, and how to Pray With Impact to obtain them.
God had created us with the ability to do multiple things and has gifted humanity so there’s a division of labor in our communities. He has variously gifted each of us with knowledge and and  abilities  to accomplish this. A good example is in Exodus, as we shall see, when he instructed Moses to build the tabernacle. 
Tune in and expand your horizons.

Revelation 12:11 says:      'They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death". 
In other words The Lord has allowed us to join him in the triumph over the devil and his agents by providing the Blood himself while we use our testimony of his work in our lives. That is why Satan has every tool that provokes us into fear of testifying. Testifying is acknowledgement of God's hand in our lives and a powerful weapon against the devil and the egos of his cohorts.
 
I DO NOT FEAR TESTIFYING, TAKE THAT!
 
The “Caleb” of gratefulness to God takes on reassignment with a ready heart.
In thanking God for another milestone of life, we stand on the encouraging words of Caleb in Joshua 14. At 85 years old Caleb was ready to get started again! He reminds Joshua of God’s promise through Moses 45 years before. In this podcast, we see how prayer over a lifetime shapes a life that acknowledges that we have all stood on the prayers and  shoulders of many, to get to where we are

Why Millennials leave church
In this podcast we hear from three Millennials giving us their reasons why young people in their age group are losing interest in church gatherings. They try to differential loving God from attending church.
This is one of the demographics that our podcast ministry is called to reach. They totally run the episode and I only made my comments on it after listening to it. In the post comments I followed up with some related scriptures. The church has to listen to them as well as we can hear them. I admonish church leaders, parents and Christian mentors to listen in and discuss it with your group or family. Be blessed

Fear Not! podcast
President Franklin D Roosevelt of USA once said “that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself”. Fear can be debilitating to the individual undergoing it and can’t just be dismissed as unreal by the observer.
God, knows this and has given us his Word to to counter this force. We can defeat fear if we stand on God’s Word. In this podcast we take you three theme scriptures to learn how to do it. Listen in and be blessed !

“Do not give up the fight” podcast with the key
Your knees are most powerful when bent in prayer. 
Jesus was asked and looked to for many favors such as requests for healing. In the process he performed many supernatural miracles .
Jesus said that greater works than these we could also do. But how come we do not?  What is and where is the key to this promise? He reminded his disciples of the food miracle when they saw him walk on water but thought he was a ghost. They had already lost the key to the powerhouse in one day!
I believe Philip figured the KEY was prayer. So he asked Jesus one of the only 2 questions he asked Jesus on record: 
Luke 11:1 “Lord teach us to pray even as John taught his disciples”
In this podcast , we explore some of the “grooves” on this key and you’ll learn some of the principles that lead to Praying With Impact.

Bible Guidance for Cyber Relationships
Computers are tools to be used for our benefit. A few years ago it would have been unimaginable to perform telemedicine including surgery. The world has undergone lockdowns of various categories due to COVID-19 and in the process the  computer has been solidified into human civilization and development as the latest revolution after the industrial revolution. 
Recently a Chinese surgeon performed the first remote surgery using 5G technology. We would consider this nothing short of a miracle. 
Quietly behind all of this, but yet in our face, another computer phenomenon has been taking place. CYBER RELATIONSHIPS. We start this conversation with a look at some scriptures as a springboard. May God guide us as we learn to Pray With Impact in this area.

This podcast will open your eyes to understand and be able to use the Power of the Blood of Jesus in your prayer life.
Physiologically and spiritually, the Blood sustains life, cleanses the body and protects the body against attacks.
The incorruptible blood of Jesus is our spiritual life cleanser, life giver, defender, redeemer and reconciler. Leviticus 17:11 says that life is in the blood. Hebrews 9:15 says Jesus’ blood reconciles us with the Father. Revelation 12:10-11 says that the enemy was defeated by the blood of the lamb and our own testimonies. 

Four powerful Biblical characteristics of petitions to God
 There are many spiritual characteristics of a petition, this podcast explores four powerful ones used by Jesus, King David and Jehoshaphat and others. It is said that knowledge is power. It is Divinely more powerful to have spiritual knowledge that helps you to Pray With Impact.
A petition is based on certain rights already granted and guaranteed to the petitioner
Petitions are addressed to one with authority and ability to grant the request. 
The Petitioner must belong to the entity or domain in which they petition.
When granted, a petition allows the petitioner to exercise the inherent power of execution in order to obtain the request.

When we unselfishly pray for others, interceding for their needs and putting them first, we are answering the biblical call. We are accepting God’s call on our lives to stand in the gap for others before him. God then intervenes in your own situation with amazing results.
In the Old Testament , the Israelites depended on certain procedures and customs to prepare themselves to meet or hear from God. Wearing the ephod was one of them. The ephod contained the 12 names of the tribes of Israel. It was specifically made of Blue, Purple, Scarlet Red and Gold colors. We explain how this was a picture of Jesus.
In the New Testament the ephod is not necessary for us to talk to God today, just as we no longer need to sacrifice animals on the altar to atone for our sins. 
God’s Son, Jesus, is our Savior and “the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6), The Great Intercessor. Listen and learn.

The Power of Divine Convergence: Elohim- Jehovah - Immanuel - Adonai
It is said "Hind Sight is 20/20 we show you how to regain the power you lost in 2020
The Power of Three In One, God the Father, The Son and Holy Spirit, The Trinity.
The theme of this podcast is to show you the oneness and cohesiveness of and thus the Power of God in all his manifestation. We explore the power in the Names of God as laid out in the original languages of the Bible. 
The intended power in God’s Names is never lost just because we may not understand them. They are Divine and thus cannot lose power. 
However we show you how to reclaim their power by understanding their purpose .
Knowledge is power and Divine Power is  Absolutely Powerful

In this episode we look at a scriptural way to cause and measure the effectiveness of our prayers.
Effective prayer is evidenced by changed lives, situations or circumstances. Through Jesus, the victory is already won but the choice for effective prayer leading to this victory is ours. We may decide to continue to pray the way we have always prayed, even if it does not work or change and pray as led by the Spirit of God, to make it work. Many times God’s will and solutions require diligence and consistency on our part. What may seem impractical to us, maybe the way God’s will is for us to pray about a particular issue. Steady faith and the leading of the Holy Spirit will keep us on track. Evaluate and Change your prayer closet if need be 

The term replication implies an increase or multiplication of the same likeness of certain defining characteristics of a thing. Simply, it means predictable results. 
However as replication is taking place, another interesting phenomenon is also taking place in a way that expands the effects or rate of the reproduction exponentially. This simply means there’s an acceleration. 
Population growth and loan or bank savings interest rates are a few examples of naturally occurring exponential relationships. Imagine now, how you can model these situations as examples using an exponential function to predict results of your prayers. Not as a mathematical calculation but rather a faith function based on scriptures and Biblical history of events.

Forgiveness is the doorway to God's Grace
In this conversation we will learn four basic principles about forgiveness and forgiving:
Forgiveness is directly anointed by Jesus
Forgiveness is directly linked to God’s Grace
Forgiveness directly unlocks Mercy
Forgiveness directly unlocks God’s hand of Providence
Forgiveness is the doorway to God's Grace. The first act of spiritual forgiveness occurs to us when we first give our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ. As Christians, our forgiving of others ought be a common  practice in our lives. But we know that this is not easy and does not always happen. However, when we fail to forgive others, we open the door to BITTERNESS in our lives. Bitterness slams the door and may prevent us from seeing God's work in our lives and that of others. Bitterness in our lives  grieves the Holy Spirit. We must forgive even as Christ forgave us.

Only God could have a plan for someone who says they never had a father figure, grew up in a "rough Detroit" neighborhood, to become an engineer, married to another engineer, be a father and help so many others to rise and shine. All through a journey that started at 18 when he met Christ.
God's promises are proven daily by those who believe and trust in His faithfulness.
In this episode, you will meet a man with a life timeline that shows what God can do to fulfill His Word. 
He rose from a place filled with despair to create space for others to move out. 
An engineering professional, a filmmaker , motivator, 3 Emmys, entrepreneur, a Gospel artist and more.

Timashion The  Visionaire  

The world we live in seems to have so many insurmountable hurdles, whether of personal, community, national or international significance. At the time of this podcast the world is facing the COVID-19 pandemic that seems to come in waves, from nation to nation and within nations. Political and ethnic tensions and demonstrations of race, religion or tribe seem to be so overwhelming and solutions seem to be controlled by the progenitors or source trouble themselves. Until Yahweh, the I AM raises a Moses.
The Bible in the Book of Exodus, introduces to the power in the Name of God, "I AM", which if embraced will turn seemingly powerful "Pharaoh" situations into powerless "Virtual Reality"  acts. The I AM, The God we serve is all powerful. When he is depended upon, he promises and delivers all the backing and support you need using whatever we have. He turned a very insecure  Moses a deliverer who parted the waters of the Red Sea in the process. We interface this story with real life situations today. Examples of Philippines and Malawi!

Staying Calm in the current storms: Know who you are!
The year 2020 will be remembered as a year of unnatural storms yet the year is only half gone. While the weather has been relatively calm so far,  the world has seen a health pandemic and worldwide demonstrations against unequal justice against black people. 
Nothing happens in a vacuum, especially spiritual vacuums. In this podcast we explore through scriptural principles how one can stay calm and overcome horrendous storms. The storms may be spiritual, personal, set created or even social, but when you know who you are and the solid ground you stand on, God will see you through them all. You will learn how to redirect your path.

Standing in the gap for another or ones community is a calling that takes you beyond prayer. It could be a very lonely and arduous task .
God calls those with a heart compassion for others to this task. Often times the need is a physical need. In this podcast episode, you will hear the powerful testimony of two ladies who have been doing this for over 20 years. Intercession could be an assignment or calling to perform services for others or your community. Your Job could be a form of Intercession. This is intercession like you've never seen it before.

Why Jesus' Resurrection is earth's Reset during Corona virus Easter lockdown
Never before has the whole planet earth come to a standstill, not even during the world wars. If a single virus can press the Pause button on the whole planet earth as we know it. Then it's easy to see man's vulnerability. 
This is the first Passover and Resurrection day not celebrated in man made church buildings. Simply celebrated within the temple of the Holy Spirit in solitary lockdown.
Suddenly man's wisdom, technology, war machines and weaponry are rendered obsolete (Zechariah 9:10). Yet again suddenly our human commonality is exposed without prejudice. In the same way, man should learn that we all have one enemy, 
Satan. In this podcast we take you through a timeline that shows you that we have one Lord, whose Deity has gone through the  "Proving Ground" without equal. Walk with us as we climb the "curve" of prophecy and its fulfillment regarding Jesus Christ our Lord

The world on its knees!
We no longer have to ask or wonder "if every knee will bow". One little unseen virus has brought the world, that is everyone on planet earth to a halting standstill. Every nation and peoples regardless of race or economic prowess have their attention on CIVID-19. The Bible says that nothing that is happening has not happened before. The Bible has physical and spiritual examples of Isolation, Quarantine and Lockdown documented. This episode recounts some and hints on what we should do. With power of scripture and lessons learned, it shows us why we need to Pray With Impact. Everything than can be shaken will be shaken, according to the Book of Hebrews. That includes the church
 

Loading your prayers with Christlike compassion that is motivated by the Love of God is the key to miracle filled answers to prayer.

See how you, like the disciples did, may have been overlooking your most God loaded motive to powerful miracle filled prayer. All from the Word of God in clear view. The word “miracle” will never be Biblically unclear to you again.

In this episode, we hear the testimony of a lady whose life was changed from a life of despair, drug and alcohol abuse, effects of sexual abuse from age 4. This was a life in slow motion death with hepatitis c which was incurable at the time. Then she found a personal Christ as she joined our Bible study prayer group. We prayed for health and life turn around. Yes GOD CAN turn any situation around. He saved her life and mind to go back to school and earn up to a Masters Degree at age 62. Listen to this amazing testimony.
Fulfillment of Joel 2:25
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,The crawling locust,The consuming locust, And the chewing locust"

In this episode Learn how to take on the burdens of others so that on"seeing your faith" Jesus is moved into duo action, forgiving sin in the spiritual and performing  miracles in the natural
Do not underestimate the Power of Intercession within you. Jesus, our role model for intercession, had to die and get to the lowest point of life, the grave, to intercede for us. Jesus conquered death from underneath and rose again and we should never forget how low he got for us to obtain salvation. Likewise we also have to identify with the ones we’re interceding for. An example is Daniel 9 when he interceded for Israel. He identified himself as part of the problem rather than pointing the finger. 
“four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”
