We have a Spirit in us Who is greater than any spiritual force of evil present in the world. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses our need for a prayer life that involves the Holy Spirit. We all have a sinful or carnal nature that Jesus calls us to overcome, and that’s only truly possible when we rely on the help of God’s Holy Spirit. Pastor Allen also shares biblical insight about demonic spirits at work today, the nature of deception, and how we can discern the difference between an unholy spiritual force and the Holy Spirit Himself. We don’t have to be trapped in sinfulness—Jesus has invited us to be conquerors, and He will equip us with the power we need.

We shouldn't be discouraged when the Lord disciplines us. He lays boundaries in our lives because He cares for us and wants us to flourish, so instead of losing heart, let's respond in prayer and thanksgiving. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what the Bible says about praying and the different kinds of prayers we can offer. As deception increases around us, it's vital to know how to pray—and then to fill each day with invitations for God to be involved. Pastor Allen teaches through the Lord's Prayer, and he shares examples of Jesus' prayer life that we can learn from. Let's strive to be people of prayer, constantly extending invitations to our Lord.

We have been given the authority to invite God into every situation through prayer. It takes compassion and courage, but it's the best way to turn up the light in the darkness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the spiritual conflict raging in the earth and the power we have through prayer to make a difference in our lives and the lives of those around us. He draws from New Testament stories to teach about the different kinds of prayer and why this is a spiritual weapon we need to know how to wield. When we're feeling anxious, lonely, or overwhelmed with the problems in the world, we can rejoice in knowing our God hears us when we cry out to Him.
