CGM Presents: In the Word Podcast

No weapon formed against you will prosper. . . and when you fast, fast as unto the Lord. Isaiah 54:17, Matthew 6:16, 18. Hello and welcome to Episode 8 in our series, “Step into His Presence.” Today, we continue to "Step into His Presence" to learn about prayer with fasting. Today’s episode is entitled “Empowered Through Fasting.” Today, we are going to discuss three reasons for fasting and share a personal testimony about fasting. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s step into his presence to learn more about empowerment through fasting and prayer. Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 6 of this series, “Nothing is Impossible with God,” please do so. It provides scriptures, some basic foundational principles, contemporary examples of fasting with prayer, and caveats on how to fast. One caveat is to check with your healthcare provider before taking on your chosen fast.

Hello and welcome to Episode 7 in our series, “Step into His Presence.” Today, we continue stepping into his presence to learn about prayer with fasting. 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. There is one significant scene in almost every movie and many TV episodes where a fake rubber mask is used to disguise the good guys to look like one of the bad guys. In other words, you did not always know who the real enemy was. That’s what we are going to talk about today. Who is the real enemy when it comes to spiritual warfare in fasting and prayer? Listen to this podcast—you may be surprised when you unmask this enemy. My name is Stephanie Wright, and this is Episode 7, “Unmasking the Enemy,” in our series “Step into His Presence.” Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 1 of this series, “Nothing is Impossible with God,” please do so. It provides scriptures, some basic foundational principles, contemporary examples of fasting with prayer, and caveats on how to fast. We emphasize the importance of checking with your healthcare provider before starting your chosen fast.

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.

Episode 5, “The Garden Battles" Series: Step into His Presence" Today, we will answer the question, “Why did Jesus pray in the Garden of Gethsemane and not somewhere else before he was arrested?” Hello and welcome to Episode 5 of our series, “Step into His Presence.” My name is Stephanie Wright. 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).

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."

Hello and welcome to Episode 3 in our series, “Step into His Presence.” I am your host, Stephanie Wright, and today’s episode is “Consecrating to Conquer.” We continue discussing Jesus and suffering, but today, we will talk about “Stepping into His Presence” for consecration. We will look at Jesus and how–through His example–we (1) learn to consecrate ourselves in times of testing and (2) how we, like Jesus, consecrate ourselves to fulfill our calling.

Hello and welcome to our series ”Revelation Expectations.” This is Episode 20 and we are in Revelation Chapter 16. We are your hosts, Apostle Charles Wright and Dr. Stephanie Wright. In today’s presentation we see God’s intense anger, or wrath, poured out on all who have rejected Him. Some say God should be forgiving but as we have seen in previous chapters of Revelation, God gave mankind many opportunities to repent, not only before the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation, but during the Tribulation. So He said, “Enough is enough.” It’s time to pour out the final judgment through “God‘s Bowls of Wrath,” the title of today’s presentation.
