House on the Rock Church Podcast

As a disciple, you get to experience breakthrough and overwhelming victory by continually cultivating prayer and thanksgiving to God. The heart posture which results is one of peace and yieldedness in spreading the Good News concerning Christ Jesus in these last days.

Waiting for the physical manifestations of healing or an answer to prayers can be challenging for those who do not know how to do it. In this class, Ifeoma discussed what waiting looks like. With the guarantee of many scriptures that they that waited upon the LORD shall not be disappointed (Psalms 40:1, Isaiah 26:8, 49:23b, Galatians 6:9, etc.), believers can afford to spend their waiting period to minister to others. It is not unusual for the faith of believers to be strengthened by the results they see in ministering to others. It is a great way to fix our gaze on GOD and others rather than our troubles. GOD is Faithful! 

In Rev. 4:1, We hear the Lord calling to John the Apostle, ”Come up here to where I am.” God said to Moses, “There is a place for you next to me on this rock” and Paul said in Ephesians, that we are seated together with Him in the heavenly places in Christ. This is a class that declares our position in Christ and how to live our life from that higher, heavenly perspective. This class will affect the way you think, and how you live as an effective witness in these last days.

When we experience symptoms, ailments and infirmities and are burdened by them for extended time, discouragement and despair tend to set in. The way out is to be given to prayer and praise continually. The Word of God is the fuel of encouragement which keeps the continuous blaze of prayer and incense of praise rising from our hearts and lips. This sets the tone for the necessary shaking and shift which results in manifest breakthrough - experiencing healing and walking in Divine health.

The topic of the return of Jesus is coming up in discussions more and more. In this message, Pastor Jim shares how the Word of God tells us not only that we can see His return drawing near, but God’s Word also explains what our response should be as we see that Day approaching.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick…” (Proverbs 13:12). In this teaching, Ifeoma discussed the importance of being proactive in guarding our hearts from getting sick, discouraged, and giving up before getting physical healing. Galatians 6:9 assures victory if we don't give up. Among other things, we must not let what we do not understand (why the symptoms are lingering) prevent us from enjoying the truth we know about GOD. GOD is faithful. For example, the name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs into HIM, and he is safe (proverbs 18:10

In these last days, the body of Christ must rise and take a stand for righteousness, demonstrating the truth that we belong to and serve the only true God. The stand is forceful, meaningful and impactful when the awe of God who is holy, and reverence for him, is reflected in our walk and central in our witness for Christ in this final hour.

When it comes to healing and all the promises of God, Jesus plus nothing equals everything. In this lesson we learn from the book of Numbers that, just as the Israelites looked upon the bronze serpent on the pole and were healed, when we look upon Jesus and see his completed work, we receive healing.

As believers, it is instructive to know and keep central in our hearts that we are not of this world as our citizenship is in heaven. Our involvement in this world and engagement must be tempered by the reality and understanding that Jesus is Lord, and He is returning soon. Against the backdrop of a world in sharp decline, with eternity in view, we are to joyfully anticipate the Lord’s return.
