Contending for Truth: Exposing Deception in Church and State

Date: February 06, 2022
Speaker Pastor Richard

Description:
Pastor Richard's message calls the church to unite in prayer for America, which God chose for His purposes (Isaiah 49:1). It explores spiritual warfare against principalities, telling believers not to intercede (Ephesians 6:12).

Topics covered include:
- Our citizenship is in God's kingdom while engaging in earthly battles (Philippians 3:20)
- Fighting for the nation's soul as watchmen on the wall (Ezekiel 33:6)
- Peace through active faith, not escapism (James 2:17)
- Equipping believers for works of ministry (Ephesians 4:11–12)
- Discerning doctrines by effects, not only words (Matthew 7:15–20)
- Natural immunity and ethics in pandemic response (1 Corinthians 6:19–20)
- Media monopoly's threat to a free society (John 8:31–32)
- Overcoming adversity and deception through Christ (John 16:33)

This call to prayer exposes false narratives that have crept into church and state. Our enemy uses oppression and distortion of the truth, but we must stand firm in God's power.

Summary:
Pastor Richard's message calls believers to contend in prayer for America, which God purposed for destiny (Isa 49:1). It covers resisting spirits, discouraging intercession (Eph 6:12), fighting for the nation's soul (Ezek 33:6), finding real peace in Jesus (Jas 2:17), equipping for ministry (Eph 4:11–12), testing doctrines like pandemic rules (Matt 7:15–20), discerning media bias (John 8:32), and overcoming adversity in Christ (John 16:33). It exposes deception that has infiltrated church and state, urging reliance on God against oppression and distortion of truth.
