Demetria Williams, gives her testimony to being called to the mission field in Guatemala, to help out a lady named, Jamie, who also has been called to lead a united bible study worldwide through Skype or any other means necessary to share God's love worldwide. Demetria goes through the opportunities that God had put in front of her as well as the opposition from Satan as he was trying to prevent her from committing to what God has planned for her. As always, God comes out with the victory and has been "leaps" ahead with leading Demetria to help spread the Gospel by going to Guatemala to help out Jamie with her mission and those who need the love of Jesus in Guatemala.

PrAyEr Is WaRfArE

There are 4 types of prayer that starts the journey into spiritual warfare. They are: #1 Supplication prayer: "I Desire" When we go to the throne room on behalf for ourselves. #2 Intercessory Prayer: "They Desire" When we go to the throne room on behalf of someone else. #3 Glorifying Prayer: "You Fulfill My Desire" Praying to simply worship and glorify God and not ask for anything. The prayer of thanks. #4 Receptive Prayer: "What Do You Desire God" When we come to God in prayer with our mouths shut and simply say, "Here am I," and allow God to speak to us what He desires from us. As we enter this spiritual warfare, our faith in prayer gets stronger as we see our prayers getting answered. How often do you enter the "Battlefield?" Listen to Demetria explain more on the power that prayer has on spiritual warfare in 1 Samuel, Chapters 1&2 and Daniel, Chapter 10. Reference to Dr. Jerry Falwell's book is as follows: Jerry Falwell, Building Dynamic Faith,(Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2005), 45-47.

SeT ApArT (or setting apart)

Demetria Williams — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 17:08:56 +0000

After Christ finished His work on earth and ascended to the Father, He made available for believers, the Holy Spirit. Those who believe on Jesus and accept His perfect redemption, are anointed with the Holy Spirit. That makes us a part of the functioning "Body" of Christ on earth. We now live on behalf of Christ here, because He is seated at the right hand of God in heaven. Each of us are individually called and donated a gift, to bring collectively to the Body, for the purpose to love God and build His Kingdom. We are set apart for God's holy use! The collection of believers is intended to be the powerful force that lives on behalf of Christ. The power of the Body is often attacked with divisions, disagreements, judgements, personal agendas, and/or other destructive tools of the adversary. These render believers as unproductive, ineffective, and unblessed. To speak bluntly, we have to evaluate what we have done with the amazing privilege to function on His behalf? Are we "set apart" or setting apart? In three simple verses of Psalms, we are enlightened as to what the "it" is that believers globally need, in order to be blessed and reach others for the Kingdom. We will be in two major portions of God's Word: 1 Corinthians 12 and a small chapter in Psalms. My hope is that you are able to complete this sentence by the end of the podcast: We become set apart for God's holy use and we can begin to function as the major part of His work for the Kingdom, when we "dwell together in _________". (Psalms ____:__)

Matters of the Heart

Abba, Father has much to say about our hearts. He regards our inner being above any other portion of our earthly existence as humans. Because He alone has access to our hearts, He sees and knows the pleasing and fruitful portions found there and He also knows the places in which He desires to change. Scripture encourages us to invite God to examine our hearts! The Psalmist prayed “ Search my heart Oh God, and know my heart.” (Psalms 139: 23) Shouldn’t we do the same? God loves you enough to strengthen your heart and He has the power to give you a new one! His desire for you is for you to have a heart like His own. A heart that is PuRe and full of LoVe. One that is fruitful, which God can use for His glory. Let’s look at His promise of a new heart to the Israelites and what God has to say about the importance of our own. After all, your heart matters to your Maker. Scripture References: Jeremiah 24 Ezekiel 36:26 Romans 8:27 1 Samuel 13:7

The Coming King

The nativity is being prepared. Behind the scene, the LORD of hosts is moving. Servant parents have been called. Faithful herders on a hillside are told. Wise men with offerings are being led. They all received an announcement and moved by faith, because of hope, to receive the promise of Immanuel in Bethlehem. Anticipation is stirring in their hearts. The Coming King will build an everlasting kingdom of His children. He brings with Him, pEaCe, great jOy and SaLvaTiOn to all who believe. Those who made their way to the quiet stable that night, received what was promised. God's gift of GrACe in a rikity, wooden crib is available for you. Can you hear His announcement? "The coming King is here!" Make your way, by faith... to the crib of the King.

The Precious Stone

Demetria Williams — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 22:08:27 +0000

Faith's journey begins with the understanding that we are not the masters of our circumstances. It causes us to search for something greater than ourselves. This greater something is Jesus Christ and when we make Him our solid foundation and the answer to the hope that is in us, we will not fail the adversity of this life. Join Demetria as she explains further in her very first podcast from the women's ministry bible study at New Hope Community Church of Asheville.
