Episode 22, "The Holy Spirit and Christmas" Series: "Step into His Presence"

12/19/2024
Send us a text Episode 22 “The Holy Spirit and Christmas” Series: “Step into His Presence” Hello, and thank you for joining us today for Episode 22 of our series, "Step into His Presence." My name is Stephanie Wright, and we are going to look at the role of the Holy Spirit in the birth of Jesus. Christmas took on a new meaning for me in 2024. The Lord compelled me to speak about the Holy Spirit in November 2024 and to continue into 2025. During these preparations, the significance of the Holy Spirit at Christmas became more apparent to me. After we read what the angel Gabriel said to Mary when he announced that she would be the mother of Jesus, we will discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in Christmas. We will close the podcasts by remembering Jesus’ purpose in coming into this world: to restore the relationship between God and man through his—Jesus’—death on the cross for our sins. Then, He rose from the dead so we could win over sin. That takes us to our closing point. Jesus was born so you could live eternally—forever—with God one day. If you have not received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, today would be a good day to do so. Romans 10:9 says, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved, that is, saved from a life of sinning against God to a life of serving Him and spending eternity with Him.

Episode 21, "Unity in the Trinity"; Segment on the Holy Spirit; Series, "Step into His Presence"

11/23/2024
Send us a text Episode 21” The Unity of the Trinity “ Series: “Step into His Presence” There is no rivalry between God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Welcome to Episode 21 of our segment on the Holy Spirit, "The Unity of the Trinity." In a previous podcast, we discussed that God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not rivals but united as One. We must understand this because when we pray, we need complete confidence that the Holy Spirit is taking our request to the throne of God as our intercessor here on Earth. We explore how the Holy Spirit was treated as if He were not part of the Godhead, the heresies that led to this exclusion, a man named Tertullian who gave the Holy Spirit His proper place in the Godhead, coining the word "Trinity"; and supporting scriptures that show the "Unity of the Trinity." Thank you for joining us today. And join us next time for another segment on the Holy Spirit as we “Step into His Presence.” In closing, if you have not received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, today would be a good day to do so. Romans 10:9 says, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus from the dead, you shall be saved, that is, saved from a life of sinning against God to a life of serving Him and spending eternity with Him.

Send us a text Hello and welcome to Episode 20, “In the Trenches with the Holy Spirit,” in our series, “Step into His Presence.” This podcast is dedicated to our veterans as we celebrate Veterans Day, November 11, and all week. Our guest today is a veteran and someone we all know, Apostle Charles G. Wright. He will share a war story and his personal experience when he was in combat in Vietnam. This is the first time he will tell us about this event. It is relevant to today’s podcast because while we may not have been in an actual war, we have been in spiritual warfare. Let’s go to our interview. Welcome, Apostle Charles. This is an informal interview, and you have agreed to share one of your experiences in Vietnam: being trapped in the trenches while under fire. Let’s give our listeners a little background on you. You served as an infantry medic in the U.S. Army from 1966-1968. You are the recipient of the Bronze Star with “V” Device, the Purple Heart, the Vietnam Service Campaign Medal, and the Campaign National Defense Medal. We have previous podcasts about Apostle Charles, and we will share with you how to access those at the end of this presentation. Apostle Charles, would you please share with us about your experience with the Holy Spirit and how he spoke to you when you were in the trenches under enemy fire?

Episode 19, "Step into His Presence––The Holy Ghost"

11/6/2024
Send us a text Episode 19, “Step into His Presence: The Holy Ghost” Hello and welcome to Episode 19 of our series “Step into His Presence.” Today, we are stepping into the presence of the Holy Spirit, also known as the Holy Ghost. My name is Stephanie Wright, and I am your host for today’s episode. Before we start, you can enjoy Episode 18, a flashback video on our YouTube channel @cgmissionsinc celebrating our 20th anniversary in missions. Okay, it’s time to step into His presence. Next year, on March 23, I will celebrate 50 years since I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord. That was March 23, 1975. I have traveled for 50 years with another friend. My friend isn’t male or female, he or she, but my friend is a spirit. You guessed it, the Holy Spirit or the Holy Ghost. I was compelled to talk about the Holy Spirit because some of us have relegated Him to a bit part in a major production—our lives—instead of giving Him equal billing with the Father and the Son. It is no offense to the Father and Son if we recognize the Holy Spirit. They are not rivals with one another because they are One God in three distinct persons—the Trinity. They work in concert to fulfill the requests presented to the throne of God. We have forgotten the Spirit’s purpose in our lives. The Father and the Son sent the Holy Spirit back to earth to indwell and empower us. That’s what Jesus said about the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:8. “But you shall receive power (Dunamis) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” The Holy Spirit has a specific work to do on earth. That work is to be our intercessor between earth and heaven—an intercessor for advocating or advising in any situation. So, when we have circumstances that we don’t fully understand—and there are many of those—we have to trust the Holy Spirit to intercede for us. The Holy Spirit knows how to interpret what we need for God to do. Romans 8:26 says, Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. I explained in an earlier podcast that the Holy Spirit is our advocate, like an attorney or lawyer. So, let’s think of it like this. You go to an attorney and explain what you need done. Your attorney will not go to the court and use your exact words. She will qualify or break down what you said into legal terminology so the judge understands your request. Most likely, what you say would not be in the language a judge would comprehend, but your lawyer will precisely and effectively word your request so that it is understood perfectly by the judge. That’s what the Spirit does for us. We say Holy Spirit, this is what I need. The Holy Spirit intercedes for you in heaven with the perfectly worded request. Then Jesus—seated at the right hand of God as our mediator with God—finalizes the request to God and God answers. I Timothy 2:5 and Mark 16:19. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of . . .

When you were little, did you have a superhero or a super–shero or did you want to be one? I guess for many of us, depending on your age, it was Superman, then as the years went by, it was Wonder Woman. Like any other kid, I loved superheroes too. But do you realize that you are a supernatural hero or shero who can make a difference on the small stage or on the world stage? Yes. You can make a difference through prayer and fasting. Fasting and prayer can change your life and can change the lives of people anywhere in the world. I believe this because of the supernatural superheroes in God's Word who fasted, prayed and changed the outcome of history. But I have also heard of modern-day accounts of how prayer warriors changed things through fasting and prayer and delivered a nation. Let's explore this today. My name is Stephanie Wright.

Today’s episode is entitled “Unmasking the Enemy.” Most of us have seen the Mission Impossible movies, and some are old enough to have seen the television series.

Episode 6, "Nothing is Impossible with God" Series: "Step into His Presence-Fasting"

4/20/2024
Send us a text Episode 6, “Nothing is Impossible with God” Series: “Step into His Presence: Fasting” Nothing is impossible with God. (Matthew 19:26; Mark 10:27; Luke 1:37). These are words of encouragement when we go through difficult times. And haven’t we all been there at one time or another in our walk with Christ? If you haven’t, keep living. But we must never forget what God has done for us, and we must remember that He can do what He has once done again and again. It is so easy to forget, but the Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance all things. John 14:26. In this and future episodes, I will share some personal experiences with you on how prayer and fasting thwarted attacks against myself, my family, friends, and even people I did not know personally. Yes, I said “prayer AND fasting” because that is what I learned early in my walk with God from the very first year I truly committed my life to Him. The church I attended after I gave my life to the Lord taught prayer with fasting. Let me stop here and give a caveat. I am talking about what we (my husband and I did as prayer warriors) did. We are not saying you have to follow our pattern of fasting, but we encourage you to thoroughly research fasting so you do not do harm to yourself. This includes following and seeking appropriate medical advice. The Bible says there are some things that are not going to be manifested without fasting. Everyone does not believe in fasting, and that is okay. If you see prayers answered without fasting, then that is good. But if you are still praying about the same things after years and years without the desired results, why not try fasting with prayer? My husband, Apostle Charles Wright, and I have also fasted and prayed for others. We have seen people who were sick be healed, who lost jobs be restored to the same job or new jobs, and people who were in bondage from sexual immorality delivered. Future episodes will present much more about prayer and fasting and how they result in a victorious life in Christ. So, please stay with us. Thank you.

Thank you for joining us today. It’s time to go into “The Garden Battles.” Why did Jesus spend his final hours in prayer in the garden—in this case, in the Garden of Gethsemane? This was not the only place Jesus had prayed before. He prayed in the mountains all night (Luke 6:12), in public (John 11:41-42, John 12:27-30), before Lazarus was raised from the dead (John 11:41‑45), and at many other times and places. So, why the garden? There are many theories, I am sure, as to why Jesus prayed in the garden the night he was arrested before his eventual crucifixion. Well, I would like to propose that Jesus prayed in the garden so he could defeat the devil in the garden. Remember, Adam and Eve failed the test when they were tempted by the devil in the Garden of Eden to eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil. They were strictly forbidden to eat from that tree, but they did it anyway in direct disobedience to God’s command. (Genesis 2:16‑17, Genesis 3).

Episode 4, Step into His Presence: Forgiveness and Hope

3/18/2024
Send us a text Hello and welcome to Episode 4, in our series “Step into His Presence.” I’m your host Stephanie Wright. We will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday or Easter in a few weeks. This is a good time to remember that Jesus died so we might be forgiven for our sins. And did you know that there is a link between forgiveness and hope? So today, we are going to “Step into His Presence for Forgiveness.” Forgiveness is one of the topics I briefly mentioned in the first episode of the series, “Step into His Presence.” We also covered it in a previous podcast, but it is worth repeating, and this time, we are on YouTube—@cgmissionsinc. Does forgiveness -or unforgiveness-affect or have an impact on hope? I Googled the question and found there had actually been research done on the topic, which said “yes” forgiveness can affect hope. Now, that’s what scientists discovered, and I thought that was interesting from a scientific perspective. However, I wanted to consider what the Bible said about how forgiving someone can positively impact hope or, conversely, not forgiving can negatively impact hope. Let's get started on today's presentation on forgiveness and hope as we "Step into His Presence."
