Hello, I'm Shante Hotman. There was no greater love than the love from our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. We know in John 3 16 says, for God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. In verse 17 it says that, God did not come to condemn the world, but to come to love us and to give His life for us.
We know in Romans in chapter 10 and verse 9 it says that, If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord. And believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess that you are saved. God wants you to give your life to Him today.
He loves you so much. And there is nothing like knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord. He will give you that peace and that joy in your heart that you need. And it promises us that He will give us eternal life.
And we know in Ephesians it says Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 8, For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourself, it is the gift of God. It's nothing that we can do in ourselves and who we are. But this is a gift that God has given to us, that we can have eternal life.
And it's by His grace and His love. Please pray a prayer with me today and ask Jesus to be your Lord and to be your Savior. Father, we come to you in Jesus' name. And Father, I come and I ask you to be my Lord, to be my Savior.
I ask you to cleanse me and purify me from all sin. I ask you to forgive me for anything all that I have done. And Lord, I ask you to come into my heart to be my Lord and to be my Savior. In Jesus' holy name, amen.
We'll pray for Lord. We know in verse 13 of Romans 9 it says, Call upon the Lord and you will be saved. So as you have called upon the Lord today, I believe that you have received Jesus and you have been saved and that you will spend eternity in heaven with me. We'll praise the Lord.
Please call or write to us and let us know what God has done for you today. Thank you. As the dawn of the day moves us from darkness to light. So will the entrance of God's Word lighten up your life.
Stay tuned for the teaching ministry of Charlotte Father as she presents this light with bringing to light ministries. Today is your day for victory in Jesus. Good day listeners. It's a blessing to be with you today.
Again, to share God's Word. I am Chantay Hochman, Pastor Charlotte Father's daughter. And it's a joy and a pleasure to be able to share the Word of God with you. The Lord has placed a special Word upon my heart.
And I hope that it will bless you as it has blessed me. My title for today is to rise up in victory. So we know that as my mom begins the message is today's your day for victory. And we know that victory is not in ourselves or what we can do for today.
But it's through Jesus Christ that gives us that victory that we can rise up. And we've been talking about in Isaiah 40 how we can rise up on wings as eagles, like the eagles rise. And as they can rise up above the storms of our daily life, as we rise up in the storms of our life that come against us. But we know that we can rise above those through the victory, through the power of Jesus Christ.
And I was thinking about how God is wanting us to rise up. And he's wanting to awaken us in the Spirit and awaken the church. Because I think for a while that the church has been asleep. And we've been kind of just complacent.
And just getting through each day and just not really seek in the face of God. And not really doing the work. And I'm not saying that all of us has been that way. But I feel like in the Spirit that there is an awakening for the church.
That we can't just lay back any longer. But there is a work for us to do as the body of Christ that God is calling each one of us to rise up. And that it's not that we have to be a preacher or an evangelist. But that God has called you wherever you are.
If it's going to your school, if it's going to your workplace. That God has placed a special calling upon your life. And he's wanting to take you in and to use you in your special gifts and the talents that he's given to you. And he's wanting to use you and to rise up and allow him to have that victory in and through your life.
Allow his spirit to live through you. That as we die to ourselves, as we die to our flesh. That God wants to live in and through us and to show his light and to show himself so strong that wherever we are. And I feel that as the body of Christ that we are made up of each part.
The word says that we are the body of Christ and there's each part of our body. But we know that even the little toe of our body is important to help with our balance. And we know that if you are just the little toe of the body of Christ. That God has a special plan for you.
And in the word it talks about even the insignificant part of the body of Christ. The weaker ones has some of the greater positions for the kingdom of God. So you may feel right now that I'm not educated. I'm not smart enough.
I don't have the boldness to teach or to win people to the Lord. But God, he has a special plan for you individually. He has a special plan for you and you have he wants you to be an expectant and excited for what he's wanting to do through your life. And that if you just open your heart to him as you seek his face, he will begin to speak to your heart and show you and direct you where he wants you or what he's called you to do.
Even if it's cleaning the toilets in the church or if it's keeping the nursery and leaven on those babies, whatever it may be, it may be insignificant to you. But in the kingdom of God, God has a calling upon each of us. If it's great or small, if we do it as unto the Lord and do what he's called us to do, that he will bless you for it. And I believe the body of Christ as we come together in unity just as when they came together after Jesus had ascended into heaven.
And as the disciples came together in one accord, it says that the Spirit of God poured out upon them. And I believe that as we, the body of Christ as believers, come together in our churches or in our families in Bible studies or whatever it may be, that as we come together in unity and not bickering and saying, look at her dress or making fun of this or like, oh, well, she hadn't been to church in a while, you know, without that bickering and the things that the enemy would try to come in to bring this unity. But God wants us to come together in unity. And I believe even for our families that sometimes we try to come against our family or there may not be that unity and there may be situations that you cannot help.
But God is wanting to unite us as a family and in our individual families, but in the body of Christ as a family that we can be united in one. And I know that there is many attacks of the enemy throughout our nation and throughout the world today, but we know that God is going to rise up. And as we seek his face and as we humble ourselves and seek God and trust in him that he is going to pour out his spirit upon us and he's going to do a work. And I believe that he's going to bring healing in our individual hearts in our lives, but healing in our families and healing in the church in the body of Christ.
And you may not even be in church. You may not, you may just want to stay home and listen to the television, which is wonderful because there are many ministers that you can get the word from. But God is saying for us to not to forsake the assembling of ourselves. And God is calling us to come together in our churches or in Bible studies to come together as one so that as we come together that he can move in a mightier way.
And not only in the church physically, but as we come together in prayer and intercession and seeking the face of God that we can pray together in unity and pray for this revival that God is wanting to do. And pray for healing for our nation, healing for the nations. And also right now that there's a lot of attacks against Israel and against God's people there. And we just want to come together and believe that God, I know that his hand is always upon his nation.
He always protects. And but they know that throughout they want that they've been attacked from the enemy. And we just pray and believe God that God will always take care of his people in Israel and his children all over the world. But I just believe that God has wanting to do a mighty work in the body of Christ as we are united.
It's called, I've been hearing in a lot of the echosia and that is as the God has called the church to come together as one accord in prayer and in fasting and seek in his face. And I believe that as the body is rising up there's an awakening of the Spirit of God that he is calling you. And even if it's just calling you to prayer and to fasting or just to intercede for the lost or intercede for our nation and our leaders and for Israel that we come together. And as we agree together in the name of Jesus, we know there's no greater name than the name of Jesus that we can come boldly to the throne.
And we can come boldly to the throne of grace and find help in our time of need because we are in a time of need so desperately that we need a touch from God. We need healing in our bodies. We need healing in our hearts and our minds. And the enemy is trying so hard to come to steal, kill and to destroy.
But we know that Jesus is greater than the enemy that he rises up and in battle against the enemy. And the word says that when the enemy comes in like a flood, that God he's going to raise up a standard against him. So when the attacks of the enemy are trying to come against your family and against your home, that you can know that God is going to raise up a standard against the enemy. That doesn't mean that we just sit back and be like, oh, I hope God does something.
But we just rise up as God's children that we have the boldness in our hearts and our lives because greater is he who is in us than he that's in the world. And if we know that the Spirit of God, Jesus, lives inside of us, it says that the Holy Spirit that lives in us is working even greater than the Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. So that we know that we can have the power that's from upon high. And I just thank the Lord that we, God's children, that it's not in who we are, that we are nothing without Jesus.
But it's in who God is living inside of us through his precious Holy Spirit that he wants to awaken us by the Spirit. And sometimes it is that we do grow weary. The Bible says do not grow weary in well-doing. But you know, sometimes you think, well, I've done this and I've done this, but the answer has not come.
And sometimes we can be very discouraged that we need a healing in our bodies and we haven't seen that healing yet. But you know that God, he's our healer. The Bible says that by Jesus' stripes that you are healed. We know that Jesus, he is the great physician.
And all we can do is hold fast to what the Bible says. That we know that these are the promises that God has given us, his children, and that we can hold fast to his word. I know I remember when my son Mike was in the hospital that was looking like he was not going to make it and that there was not much hope for him. But during all of that, that my mom had a list of scripture and they were those healing scriptures.
And all of a sudden when that bad news came in that all we could do, well, I couldn't even hardly do it. But my mom was there to help me and to speak the Word of God. And she began to say in the name of Jesus, Micah will live and he will not die. And he will declare the works of the Lord.
And that by Jesus' stripes that Micah is healed and he is made whole. So you know, God raised him up and he's nine years old today playing baseball and healthy as can be. But I just praise God that my mom was there and my family was there to help me. And you know, we get into situations sometimes that we may face something that just knocks us down.
That we feel like we can't keep going or we don't have the strength to do it. But you know, that's when the body of Christ can come together and that they can begin to pray and intercede as one. And that God hears our prayers and he hears his promises as we remind him of what the Word says. That he hears those promises and he answers our prayers and he is faithful and he is there to hear us.
But it all comes back to the body of Christ being united in one, to be in one accord so that we as the body can follow the Lord and that we can know his voice and he can come as we humble ourselves before him and seek his face and turn from our wicked ways that he will come and he's going to heal our land and he's going to come and he's going to heal our families. And I just believe that as we come together and one that God is going to do a mighty work. And I know that even just while we were in the hospital, just all the people coming together and praying together as one. And then people giving monies to us and helping us financially and just knowing that you had your family, but not only your natural family, but the family of God coming together and supporting you and helping you and encouraging you.
And you may be there today that you're in the hospital sick or you're struggling with finances or there's a situation in your life where you feel hopeless and you don't know what's going to come tomorrow. That you know that no matter what God he is faithful and he hears your cry and he knows you. The Bible said he is touched with the feelings of your infirmities so that when you were facing a sickness or you were facing a struggle or fear or worry that God he knows what you're going through and he cares for you and he wants to help you. And as we call upon the name of the Lord, the word says that we are saved and he is there and he hears us.
We know that he never will leave you and he never will forsake you, that he is right there today with you. And I just pray right now Father that you will just touch each and individual life today Father, God wherever they are Lord God. If they just need a healing touch Father I'm asking of you that by Jesus drops that they are healed and they are made whole God. And I thank you that nothing is impossible with you God because Jesus you are already bored of that in your body so that they don't have to.
And Lord I'm asking for your healing touch, for your miracle working power in their body that whatever they are facing and God those that are facing fear and oppression and depression. I just commanded that to go in Jesus name. For we know that God that you Father God give us peace, the peace that passes all understanding, that you give us the joy, the joy of the Lord. And God I pray that your joy to be there straight today and we just pray against all fear and worry to go.
And that your peace Lord God will come and feel their hearts today Lord with an overflowing that they've never experienced before. That they can just experience your presence coming in God their home in their room wherever they are that God that they can feel the touch of you God to feel your love that there's no greater love than your love. And we thank you for God and we believe for it in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord.
Amen and amen praise the Lord. I just believe that God has just come into your room with his presence because he is so real. Not that we can feel him tangibly sometimes but we know that he's always there. He always hears your prayers and he's right there to help you and to encourage you and give you that strength and that peace that you need right now.
And I know that there's nothing like that feeling when you feel God's presence and you know he's there. There's nothing like that and I hope that you can experience that touch and that move from the Lord because there's just nothing like that. And we always just want to be like okay God just let your presence always be with us but we can't always feel him but we know the promises of God that he is always there to help you in your time of need. And it's so wonderful that we the body of Christ can have each other to lean upon each other to help each other and to have our families.
You know some people may not have a family and you know they may not even have someone that they feel that cares for them. But you know ultimately we know God cares and he loves you. And if you don't have a natural family that we as the body of Christ we are a family. We are the family of God.
God says that we are his children and the family of God should come together and help each other because when one falls down the other can pick him up and to be right there to help him and to lead and to to give him that peace and that encouragement to keep going. And the Bible says that we can weep with those who weep. That we can be right there. We can rejoice with those who rejoice.
And so that we can as the body of Christ as we are each parts of the body that we can encourage each other and be right there and help each other out and just to be that encouragement that we all need sometimes. And you know I really am feeling a burden and a heart for our leaders. Not well definitely for our leaders of our nation but also the leaders in our church like the pastors and the evangelists, the ministers and the enemy. He wants to come and he wants to steal, kill, destroy.
He wants to come against our leaders and he doesn't want us to share in the Word. He does as God's children he wants to come against us. Not that we live in fear or worry that what's going to come next or what's the enemy's plans. But we know that God, his plans are greater than the enemy's plans.
And that just as I said earlier when the enemy comes in like a flood that God will raise up that standard against the enemy. That he has no place to come against God's children. And I just pray for our nation that God will rise up. And we just thank the Lord in our nation that we have the freedom that we can share the Word of God on TV and that we can go to church and not have to hide and worship the Lord.
But we have the freedom to go to church and to read our Word. And we just pray that we will always have that freedom until Jesus is coming. But I just thank the Lord that we can come together and be encouraged in the faith. And as we come together as the body of Christ and entrusting the Lord.
But I just pray that for our leaders, especially our pastors of angeles teachers, that as the enemy tries to come with his attacks that he is a liar and he's a father of laws. And the Bible says that we speak confusion over the plans or the strategies of the enemy. That he has no place to come against our pastors and our evangelists and teachers and those that are preaching the Word. And that the enemy is wanting to shut their mouths.
And he's wanting to come to steal, to destroy. But we know that Jesus has come to give life and give it more and more abundantly. And I just encourage you today to pray for your leaders, not only for our nation, but also for our leaders in our church. Because the enemy is trying so hard to bring discouragement to them.
And then the Bible says to not grow weary and well-doing. And then sometimes they have so much on them that so many people are almost stuck in the life out of them trying, calling or I need prayer for this or I need this. And it's a great ministry. It's a great calling.
But it's a great responsibility. And I believe that sometimes our ministers are having a lot of stress upon themselves. But we believe that God, he is going to strengthen them. And we need to come together as the body of Christ and continue to encourage our leaders and to pray for them daily.
That God's hand will be upon them. We pray for protection over them. And we pray that God will give them that supernatural strength that only comes from God through his Holy Spirit, through his power. And I just encourage you to just continue to pray for our leaders as they rise up in these last days.
And God's going to pour out his Spirit upon our churches and upon our homes. And he's going to do a great thing. And I just pray that God will continue to feel our leaders afresh into new with his spirit, with his power, and with his anointing. And that God's work is going to be done in the church and in our homes and in our families.
And I'm just expecting and excited for what God is wanting to do in our nation today. And throughout the world there's going to be a great revival. And just as we have that expectant heart and as the body of Christ is faithful to come to him in our prayer life and in our session. And as we come into the body and into the church and begin to serve wherever the Lord leads you and wherever he is calling you to serve.
But I just pray that God will bless you today and just continue to bless your families and all that you do. And I believe that as you seek the face of God that he will begin to speak to your heart and he will begin to show you what he is calling you to do. That special calling. He has that special calling upon your life that whatever part of the body you are that it is needed for the Kingdom of God.
And God wants to use you mightily to reach the loss through prayer and also that he will give you that boldness to declare his word as you go to work or go to school wherever you may go. That he will give you that boldness with God's love flowing out of you that people will be drawn to you and be excited for what God is doing in you and want what you have. And I just pray the Lord will just bless you, use you in a mighty way. And I just thank you for allowing me to share the Word of God with you and it has been such a blessing.
May God bless you. Hello, I'm Chantay Hoffman. Are you in an area in your life where you need a healing or a touch from the Lord? God wants to touch your body or to just even touch you emotionally and give you his peace that passes all understanding.
We know that the Bible gives us many promises of God's healing power. And Isaiah 53 in verse 4 it says, Surely he had born our griefs and carried our sorrows. Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. And with his stripes we are healed. I believe that God wants to touch you today in a mighty way.
We believe in God's Word and in his promises. And I feel that we can just hold fast to his promises every day and to speak his Word. I know that when my little boy was sick, that I just spoke the Word over him and I said, Micah you will live and not die and you will declare the Word to the Lord. And I know that the Word says that Jesus, he sent his Word.
And Jesus is the Word. God sent his Word to heal all of us from our sicknesses and diseases. Can I pray with you today that God will touch your body wherever you are? The promise says that he will bring us peace.
And it says that God, he even bore the grief and the sorrow that you may have today. That God wants to touch you mentally, physically, spiritually and every way. Let's pray. Father, we just come to you, Lord, in the precious name of Jesus.
And Father, I thank you for my brother and my sister today. Father, wherever they are, God, you know their need. And Father, I'm asking of you to touch their bodies. Lord, to minister peace, enjoy and strength to their hearts today.
Father, I thank you for our healing and their bodies. That we can just hold fast to your promises that by Jesus' drops we are healed and we are whole. And Father, we thank you for your healing in my brother and sister today. Father, just touch their bodies by your power and by your might.
And Father, we thank you for it that they are healed and they are whole in Jesus' holy name. Amen. We'll praise God. Please write to us their call and let us know what God has done for you today.
And I'm believing and I stand fast in prayer for your healing and from a touch from the Lord. Amen.
