Today's podcast is about humility and its role in spiritual warfare. Our scripture is Daniel Chapter 4:37b, "And those who walk in pride he is able to humble." These are the words of King Nebuchadnezzar II as he spoke about God.
Nebuchadnezzar II was a Babylonian King who reigned from around 605 to 562 BCE. Among his many military conquests is the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. He is also known for his many ambitious building projects, including the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
He is also famous for his praise of God in the Book of Daniel, chapters 2-4. In chapter 2, after Daniel interprets the king’s dream of an enormous statue, the king said, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.” In chapter three, the king saw the three Hebrew boys escape the fiery furnace he had thrown them into for defying his order to worship an idol statue. After they emerged from that fire unscathed, Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces, and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”
Again, in chapter four, the king pays homage to God, but only after he went mad for esteeming himself above the One, True God. After the king repented, his sanity was restored, and he said: “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” Daniel 4:37 NIV
We can only hope that God reached Nebuchadnezzar in chapter 4. His humility lasted only a little while after chapter 2. It is believed that 20-30 years will pass before we reach chapter 4.
These chapters, especially chapter four, are about being humble and subduing pride. The most compelling reason to be humble is that we are all going to die. Yes, we are all going back to dust.
Humility is a spiritual warfare weapon because you cannot be successful in spiritual warfare without three things—first submitting to the will of God, then admitting that you can do nothing without Him, and finally, committing to do what He leads you to do after you submit and admit.
Humility subdues pride and puts pride under your foot where it belongs because God hates a proud look. Thus, God cannot be present with you in spiritual warfare if you are garnered in pride.
So, for success in spiritual warfare, cover your armor in humble submission to his will. And don’t be like King Nebuchadnezzar, whose humility was temporary. Be steadfast and stay humble all the days of your life.

Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the Word of God—the Bible—and the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.
Today’s spiritual warfare scripture is about faith, which comes from Ephesians 6, verse 16, and reads:
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Faith is a spiritual warfare weapon because we use it to quench ALL the fiery dart of the enemy. All means all, and that’s all that all means.
But it is our faith in God that will bring us through all fiery trials.
Can you recall the most fiery test or trial that you have been through since the Lord came into your life? Did you recall this scripture on faith when you went through that test?
Ephesians 6, verses 13-17 are among the most influential scriptures on spiritual warfare—they tell us to put on the whole armor of God.
But as we stay focused on the shield of faith and quenching the fiery darts of Satan’s attacks, I think about the Hebrew boys in Daniel, Chapter 3. Theirs was the seminal case for true faith in God. When they were thrown into the fire, they had the Angel of the Lord as their shield, which some believe was the pre-incarnate Jesus. When they came out of that fire, Daniel 3:27 said the fire had no power over their bodies, “nor was a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.”
So, it is with us when we use the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of our enemies. Jesus will be with us in the fire, through the fire, and when we come out of the fire. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Hebrews 13:5. And when we come out of our test—as some saints say—we won’t look like what we’ve been through either.
So, remember Ephesians 6:16 the next time you face a fiery trial. Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And please remember the key phrase in that verse—”all the fiery darts”—because all means all the fiery darts, no exclusions.
Thank you for joining us today.
Now, let’s turn to Dr. Charles Wright, who will tell you how you may reach us and comment on this podcast.
Until next time.
The quote "All means all and that's all that all means" is attributed to Brother Jason Hill from a Wednesday night Bible study that Dr. Charles and I taught.

Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the Word of God—the Bible—and the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.
Today’s spiritual warfare scripture is about trust. Proverbs 3:5-6 reads:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart; And lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct your paths.”
Trust is a spiritual warfare weapon because we have to trust God in our spiritual battles. Compare this in the natural to the military soldier who trusts his commanders and fellow soldiers in war.
One example of spiritual and military warfare is the experience of Dr. Charles Wright, as recounted on pages 60-61 of Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD.

Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to Season 14, “Spiritual Warfare.” This is episode 10 in our series, entitled “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the Word of God—the Bible—and the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.
Sit back, relax, and take a deep breath because today’s spiritual warfare scripture is about rest. Matthew 11:28 says, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Rest is a spiritual warfare weapon because spiritual warfare is perpetual—never-ending. When you commit your life to Christ, it is a lifetime commitment. There is no discharge from the Lord’s army, so you will need to learn to rest in the Lord. Also remember, there is a great reward in serving Him— ETERNAL LIFE, and other bonuses we do not even know about are the compensation we receive. 1 Cor. 2:9 tells us we haven’t seen nor heard, nor has our heart known the things God has prepared for us who love him.
And consider this. The military soldier takes something called R&R (Rest and Relaxation). The spiritual warfare soldier has to do the same. It may not be a trip to a tropical island, although that would be nice. You may take an afternoon off and do what you please. But take a break and lighten up. Rest is good for your heart and soul. Prov. 17:22 tells us, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
You need to refresh yourself for the next battle.
My R&R includes sitting in a comfortable chair, viewing and listening to nature from my window during prayer time. The moment I sit down, I exhale, and I know I am at peace with God.
So, take time every day, even if it’s only 15 minutes, and rest in the Lord. Rest is another weapon in your spiritual warfare arsenal.
Thank you for joining us today.

Today’s spiritual warfare scripture comes from Isaiah 40:31.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.”
One of the most powerful weapons in our spiritual warfare arsenal is waiting on God. It is powerful because we do not realize what He is doing in the background for us while we are waiting. But when we are obedient to the Word of God, which tells us to “wait upon the Lord,” we honor Him, and because we honor Him by honoring His Word, He will do for us what Isaiah 40:31 says He will do.
I speak based on a recent personal experience I alluded to in the last podcast. It took four years with a situation that was very painful, but in the end, in the
course of my waiting and being obedient, praying, fasting, and listening to the Holy Spirit — in the end, God showed me all that he was doing in the background while I was waiting on Him to bring success so that I could mount up with wings as an eagle. God moved my enemies out of the way, exposed their lies, and empowered me, emotionally, financially, and most of all
spiritually. He is now teaching me to run and not be weary as I fulfill the tasks that came with the victory. God gives us the victory, so that we can walk in it, and not be weary.
Again, I waited upon the Lord during this four-year test by continuing in reading and studying His Word, praying with fasting, staying in church, giving financially and personally to the Lord's work—in short, I was obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit. And, yes, I prayed for my enemies.
While we are waiting on him, he will strengthen us, and when the test is finally over, we will see what he has been doing in the background. If you don't see it in this life, maybe He will reveal it to you in the next life—but truthfully, I don’t think you will care when you get to heaven.
So, wait on the Lord for He shall renew your strength, and you shall mount up with wings as an eagle, you shall run and not be weary, and you shall walk and not faint.

Hello and welcome to CGM Presents: In the Word. My name is Dr. Stephanie Wright. On behalf of Charles George Missions, welcome to Season 14, “Spiritual Warfare.” This is episode 8, and we are starting a new series, “Spiritual Warfare Scriptures.” The resource for this series is the book “Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,” written by yours truly.
We will focus on one scripture each time we meet, and these will be vignettes or very short presentations. Use these scriptures to build up your arsenal for spiritual warfare by memorizing, meditating and implementing them into your daily walk with the Lord.
Today’s scripture is from Isaiah 54:17, No weapon that is formed against YOU shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against YOU in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
Why is this such a popular scripture? I believe it’s popular because it represents victory in whatever turmoil, task, or terror that the enemy tries to attack you with. No weapon means “no weapon,” but it does not mean a weapon won’t be formed; it means the weapon will not prevail against you.
No weapon formed against you will meet its intended end. So, if someone is trying to destroy you, physically, mentally, financially—they are not going to succeed because God will step aside and let the enemy turn on them, and they in turn will start fighting against each other. I have experienced this firsthand. God stepped aside and allowed the enemy to attack my enemies, and then those same enemies started turning on each other.
Let’s look at the second half of Isaiah 54:17. People often overlook the second half of this verse, and every tongue that shall rise against YOU in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.
This tells us that the words people speak are weapons but again, their word weapons will not prevail against you. But what does this scripture tell us to do when words are spoken against us in judgment? It is our right—our heritage because Jesus gave us that right through His victory on the Cross—our responsibility to speak against those things and speak good things into our lives. This is why we need to know the Word of God. This is why we need scriptures in our arsenal so we can wage spiritual warfare against Satan and his demonic forces. This is why in this series, we are studying scriptures on spiritual warfare to prepare you formed against you shall prosper.”
Thank you for joining us today. We look forward to sharing another scripture on spiritual warfare next time.
Now, let’s turn to Dr. Charles, who will tell you how you may reach us and comment on this podcast.

Nothing is Impossible with God
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 what He has once done, He can do again and again. It is so easy to forget, but the Holy Ghost 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. What I am talking about is what we (my husband and I did as prayer warriors). 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.
Okay, moving on.
The Bible talks about fasting in the Old Testament and the New Testament. In general, when you think of fasting, you think about denying yourself of food and water or just food. Some people expand the definition of fasting broadly to include denial of things that bring personal enjoyment. In the New Testament, Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights without food but we believe he had some form of water. (Matthew 4:1-2; and Luke 4:1-2). He understood the importance of fasting from the moment he was driven into the desert and the Holy Spirit compelled Him to fast and continue in prayer. It was only after that wilderness experience that He returned and began His ministry which included preaching, teaching, performing healings and miracles and more. (Episodes 7, this series). In the Book of Esther (Old Testament) the Jewish people fasted on two separate occasions in conjunction with praying to God to spare them from annihilation by an evil man named Haman. Queen Esther was not in the first round of fasting. (Esther 4:1-3). However, when she was asked to go before King Ahasuerus and ask him to spare the lives of her people (something for which she could be put to death), she asked everyone to fast three days and nights. (Esther 4:16). This included her maids who were probably not Jewish. And, of course, you know the outcome, the Jewish people were delivered and their enemy, Haman, was destroyed. (Queen Esther Podcast, Episode 7). We will tell you how to access these podcasts at the end of this episode. But, suffice it to say for now that fasting is Biblical and provides sound reasons for implementing it as a spiritual warfare weapon to answered prayer.

Let’s get started.
This week, we celebrate Valentine’s Day, a reminder of the profound love that God has for us. As John 3:16 tells us, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. There is no greater love than that of the Son, who left His heavenly home to embrace humanity in flesh and become the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Through Jesus, the path for reconciliation with the Father has been beautifully paved.
Today's reading is taken from pages 24 to 27 of our resource, Spiritual Warfare: ABC to PhD. [Order copies of this manual online using the book title or Dr. Stephanie V. Wright.]
Thank you for being with us today. Please stay tuned as Dr. Charles Wright provides information on how to contact us and access other episodes of this podcast.
Until next time.

This year’s podcast is entitled “Spiritual Warfare,” and the resource for this topic will be the book Spiritual Warfare Manual: ABC to PhD,written by yours truly, Dr. Stephanie V. Wright. This book is relevant to the theme of spiritual warfare because it is based on my more than 50 years of experience and on Dr. Charles Wright’s more than 50 years of experience in this area. This book discusses the following topics on spiritual warfare: What is Spiritual Warfare?, Victory Through Christ, The Role of the Holy Spirit, Practical Tools for Warfare, Understanding the Enemy (Satan) and his tactics, Overcoming Fear, Personal Growth, The Power of God’s Word, and the Spiritual Rewards from Spiritual Warfare.
All of these are relevant to the podcast's purpose: “to equip you for strategic spiritual warfare.”
Let’s jump right in to Chapter 1, “His Covering,” where we will define spiritual warfare and a few of its attributes.

Hello, and thank you for joining us today for Episode 29 of our Christmas podcasts for 2025. 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.

Queen Esther Series, Episode 21, “The War, The Victory, The Man” Subtitle: "The Wealth of the Wicked"
Hello and thank you for joining us for the conclusion of our series on Queen Esther. We end this series the way we began, expounding on God’s favor and grace to Esther and Mordecai and to us. The title of today’s episode, is, “The War, The Victory, and The Man." We will see God’s display of grace and favor as he blesses Esther and Mordecai with the wealth of the wicked, victory in warfare, and as he bestows honor and regal power on Mordecai. We will see that this same favor and grace are bestowed on us as we continue to trust, obey, and follow Him.
My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.

In today's episode, we will learn how a tyrant and tyranny were ultimately defeated. We will consider how fear plays into success or failure. Then we will ask what price must sometimes be paid to defeat evil. Finally, what special tools does God give us to prevail over tyranny?
Last week, we left you with a challenge: Did you think about how to change your tomorrow? If so, thank you for taking the challenge. We also ended the episode with Haman being taken away to the second banquet Queen Esther planned, at which only he and King Ahasuerus (aka King Xerxes) were guests. Haman had an opportunity to change his tomorrow before the second banquet. We find out today whether he changed his tomorrow for the better.
(This is a rebroadcast from the Queen Esther Series, Episode 7, The Book of Esther, Chapter 7, September 19, 2020.)

How to humiliate a tyrant could be the subtitle to today's presentation. Haman is forced to honor his enemy, Mordecai, on the king's orders. If Haman had ceased from hating Mordecai, he could have changed his tomorrow, today. In this presentation, we will learn how to change our tomorrow through humility, how honoring others leads to blessings, how to deflect our enemy’s attempts to curse us, and how God’s timing in blessing us is perfect. My name is Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us in Episode 6, "Change Your Tomorrow, Today."

We are celebrating five years of podcasting in 2025 by revisiting our archives and rebroadcasting select episodes since June 20, 2020. This is Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us for Episode 18, “One Thing” from the Queen Esther series. Let's get started.
One thing, one thing. Today, we are asking a very important question. What is that one thing that is holding you back from your blessings? Haman, who had blessings beyond what he deserved could not see the blessings because he was so consumed with hatred for Mordecai. Today, we look at the one thing that led to Haman's demise. Let's go to our presentation, Queen Esther, "One Thing."

Hello and welcome to Episode 12 in our series “Stay in His Presence.” This is a special podcast entitled “Five-Year Podcast Anniversary.” We are your hosts, Dr. Charles and Dr. Stephanie Wright.
Charles George Missions is celebrating five years of podcasting with “CGM Presents: In the Word.” We would like to thank our Board of Directors and everyone who has supported us by listening to our podcasts or making a financial contribution to the ministry. A special “thank you” to everyone who has appeared as a guest on the podcast.
History behind the podcast:
We launched the first podcast on June 20, 2020, “Life, Love, Laughter: The Book of Ruth.” We have produced over 200 episodes, reached 99 countries and 1300 cities worldwide.
Charles, did you know that, according to Buzzsprout, the platform we use for podcasting, 90% of podcasts don't get past episode 3? Of the few that continue, another 90% will quit after 20 episodes. In other words, if you reach episode 21, you're among the top 1% of podcasters worldwide who made it.
Why was the podcast started? The pandemic—Covid-19—temporarily interrupted our ability to conduct mission work around the world. We had previously traveled to the Philippines, Guam, Micronesia, South Africa, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Israel, France, and Alaska. So, we started the podcast to continue spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Top ten countries: United States, Ireland, Germany, Singapore, Canada, South Africa, France, Australia, United Kingdom, Russian Federation
Our most demanding podcast was in December 2020, when we presented a podcast every day from December 1 through December 25. Many of you helped by submitting your favorite Christmas memory.
The most intense podcast was the Book of Revelation which required all of 2023 to complete.
Some podcasts, like the Revelation series, were also videotaped, and you can see them on our YouTube channel @cgmissionsinc [where this video will be posted].
CGM Presents: In the Word Podcast covers every aspect of life from "A" to "Z" while applying Bible principles to 21st-century living. All podcasts can be reached by category at www.cgmissions.com/podcasts
All podcasts are on the following podcast platforms: Apple, Spotify, Amazon, iHeart, Pandora, and more. The presentations are informative and inspirational while weaving in a dash of humor to uplift and encourage listeners. Most of all, it leads the listener to a deliberate inquiry into their relationship with the Lord.
We are so grateful to our listeners who encourage us.
We look forward to another year of podcasting in 2026. I can hardly wait to see where God takes us with the following season.
Thank you for joining us on our five-year anniversary.
This is Dr. Stephanie Wright and
Dr. Charles Wright—until next time.

Hello and welcome to Episode 11 in our series, “Stay in His Presence,” Season 13. My name is Stephanie Wright, your host.
We are continuing in our study of the attributes of the Holy Spirit from A to Z. The title of today’s podcast is “Spiritual Warfare—On the Battlefield.” This podcast will encompass spiritual warfare and military warfare from a Biblical perspective. Our guest speaker is Dr. Charles Wright, who will enhance our understanding of spiritual warfare with his expertise in military warfare. His experiences, like those of many soldiers, were unique because, on occasion, he waged spiritual and military warfare simultaneously. He will share two of those accounts today: "Wise Counsel" and "Living Among the Dead." Then we will continue this episode with a sequel, Part 2, "I'm Still Alive," and "Punji Pits," and "In the Trenches with the Holy Spirit." Thank you for joining us.
STEPHANIE: Welcome, Dr. Wright.
CHARLES: Thank you, Stephanie. STEPHANIE: Before we get started on our topic of the Holy Spirit in spiritual warfare and military warfare, let’s tell our listeners a little bit about you.
Charles served in the United States Army from August 3, 1966, to August 2, 1968. He was an infantry specialist medic. He served in Vietnam in 1967. He has received the Bronze Star with the "V" device for heroism and the Purple Heart for injuries he sustained in the war. He has also received the Vietnam Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal. After his service, he graduated from college, received his master's degree from Ohio Christian University. On June 7 of this year, he received his doctorate in theology from North Carolina College of Theology. He is an ordained bishop and apostle. He is the founder of Charles George Missions, Inc. He is the father of two daughters and five grandchildren, and my husband of 52 years.
CHARLES: Thank you, Stephanie. STEPHANIE: Here is a definition of spiritual warfare that I came up with recently.
Spiritual warfare is the ongoing battle between God and His holy forces against Satan and his unholy forces both in the heavenly realm and on earth for control over humanity and their destiny—eternal life or everlasting damnation.
Would you like to comment on that, or should we proceed directly to the encounters you had, which probably give that definition life?
(The podcast continues with Dr. Wright's accounts in Vietnam.)

“The Consecration.”
If you want a close experience with Jesus, go on a five-day consecration. I recently had the opportunity to go on a private retreat. Three days were reserved for relaxation and sightseeing, but the other five days were real consecration. Some amazing things happened after my time with the Lord. Listen to the podcast to learn more.

Thank you for joining us today. We continue studying the attributes of the Holy Spirit from A to Z. Today’s letter is “K” for Keeper.
On March 23, 2025, I celebrated 50 years from the date I committed my life to Jesus Christ—March 23, 1975. That was half a century ago. We want to encourage you today by letting you know that whatever you are going through, Jesus will bring you through. We will share scriptures, some of my personal experiences over the past fifty years, and the rewards of staying committed to the Lord.

Hello, may I have five minutes of your time? Almost everyone is going through a life challenge right now. And if you’re not going through something, you probably know someone who is. My name is Stephanie Wright, and I want to briefly discuss how we can help one another through these challenges.
Many Christian denominations will observe Lent from March 5th until Easter or Resurrection Sunday, April 20, 2025. This is when we commemorate Jesus’ 40 days and nights in prayer and fasting in the desert. Afterward, he began his dynamic ministry in which multitudes were healed in their bodies, minds, and souls.
Would you consider dedicating 40 days or a portion of 40 days sacrificing one thing leading up to Resurrection Sunday? For most people, it is food—the way Jesus fasted. Or perhaps it would be consecrating yourself from a favorite pastime like television or social media. Whatever you decide, be sure you give time to God in prayer. He is looking for a sincere and believing heart.
If you fast from food, be sure to be wise and follow your healthcare provider's instructions. You might think that your fasting and praying is like dropping a teaspoon of water in the ocean. You would be wrong. There are numerous biblical and real-life examples where one person changed the outcome of circumstances and even saved a nation because they fasted and prayed.
In Exodus chapters 24, 32, and 34, Moses went on at least two 40-day fasts. God was going to wipe out the Israelites for worshiping a golden idol. But after Moses' fast, God spared their lives.
In the book of Jonah, the king of Nineveh put his country, himself, and even the animals on a fast of unspecified days. Jonah warned him of their downfall if he did not repent. God saw their works and spared Nineveh.
Queen Esther declared a three-day fast with no food or water for all Jews in 127 provinces covering 2,700 miles in Persia. God delivered her people from annihilation by an evil man named Haman.
The last Old Testament example I will give you is the prophet Elijah in I Kings chapters 20 and 21. Elijah fasted 40 days and nights, which led to the death of the evil queen, Jezebel, and her husband King Ahab.
I will close with Jesus and the works He did after His 40-day fast. He healed the brokenhearted, set people free from physical afflictions, opened the blinded eyes, and more. Fasting and prayer bring spiritual, physical, and financial blessings.
God is no respecter of persons. Therefore, you are no less important than the Bible personalities we discussed today. And your prayers are no less powerful than theirs. So, consider the impact you could have if you commit yourself to a fast and prayer during the days leading up to Resurrection Sunday.
If you want an extended version of this presentation, listen to our podcast Episode 5, “H Stands for The Holy Spirit, Our Helper,” in our series, “Stay in His Presence.”
Thank you for joining me today, and may you have a blessed time in preparation for Resurrection Sunday.
Now, let’s go to Apostle Charles, who will close us out with contact information and tell you how to acces

Welcome to Episode 3, "Your Forever Valentine," in our "Stay in His Presence " series.
We dedicate the podcasts to the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost this year. We are covering His characteristics or attributes from "A" to "Z." I had hoped to take the podcast sequentially–A, B, C, D, E, etc.; however, because life does not flow sequentially, we will move randomly throughout the alphabet instead. In the last episode, we covered the letter "C" for Comforter. We will skip to the letter "L" for Love this week because this is Valentine's Week.
My name is Stephanie Wright. Let's talk Love.

"The anointing breaks the yoke."
Welcome to Season 13 of our podcast, "Stay in His Presence." This year, the podcasts will focus on the Holy Spirit. We will cover 26 of His attributes, going through the alphabet from "A" to "Z."
Before we start, let's have a one-minute review of why we honor the Holy Spirit this year. Then, we will proceed to the ABCs of the Holy Spirit.
My name is Stephanie Wright. Welcome to Episode 1, "The Anointing"
The Lord impressed on me late last year to turn our attention to the Holy Spirit in 2025. In summary, we discussed how the Holy Spirit has not been given the recognition He deserves as the third person in the Godhead. We covered His purpose as our intercessor here on earth and as our advocate with the Father and Son in heaven.
When man was created and God said, "Let us make man in our image," (Genesis 1:26), it proved that the Holy Spirit was one with the Father and Son. Thus, there is no rivalry between them.
In another episode, we explained how a second-century writer, Tertullian defended the Holy Spirit as being One with the Father and Son. He coined the term "Trinity," and his teachings unequivocally stated that God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost were Three Gods in One.
We hope you grow closer to the Holy Spirit as we honor Him by studying His characteristics, "A" to "Z." First is "A," which stands for "Anointing." Our scriptures are from the Old Testament, Isaiah 61:1, Isaiah 10:27, and the New Testament, Luke 4:18.
When Jesus stood in the temple in Luke, Chapter 4, and said the Spirit of God was upon him and the Spirit anointed Him to do all the things listed in Luke 4:18—mirroring what was said in Isaiah 61:1-2—he was saying the "anointing breaks the yoke."
The anointing brings whatever we need, whether healing, peace, hope, joy, or anything good from God.
The anointing is a special endowment from God that delivers from bondage and empowers the believer to do the work assigned to her or him. We need the anointing of the Holy Spirit to do God's will. The Holy Spirit also resides in us to help guide us daily in our assigned missions.
Like Jesus, we are anointed to do the work and even greater works, as expressed in John 14:12.
To summarize, "A" stands for "The Anointing." We all need the anointing to be like Jesus and do what Jesus did—preach the gospel to the poor; heal the brokenhearted, preach deliverance to the captives, recover sight to the blind, and set at liberty those who are bruised.
This concludes this episode and segues into a special invitation for you. 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 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” 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.

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”
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

Apostle Charles G. Wright delivered an inspirational message at the 110th Convocation of the Historic Virginia First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction C.O.G.I.C. His message was “A Charge to Keep and a God to Serve.” He reminded everyone that we have work to do. He described God’s convocation as “His called-out assembly for a chosen and unique people to accomplish God's works and worship throughout the world.” He encouraged the congregation to put their gifts to work — to go into the world to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Stephanie Wright received the 2024 Gertrude Rush Award on Saturday, July 13, 2024. Her speech was about perseverance— a principle embraced by Gertrude Rush, Iowa's first Black female attorney. Stephanie details her perseverance to have her name included in the book “History of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa (1882-2020).” She tells why her name was left out, who left her name out, and how she got her name back into the history book. She shares how divine intervention brought her to the attention of a New York Times reporter. She concludes by saying the importance of doing the right thing to set the record straight.

Episode 13 in our Series Step into His Presence
“Calling All Superheroes and Sheroes”
Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's . . . 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. Let's talk about you, the Superhero or Super-Shero prayer warrior.

"Wrestling in the Heavenlies"
Have you ever attended a wrestling match? Attending one can give you a different perspective on Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Today, we will discuss wrestling and spiritual warfare against an invisible enemy. My name is Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us today. Let's get started.

Endurance through Fasting and Prayer
Hello and welcome to Episode 10, in our “Step into His Presence” series. What does it mean to endure in prayer and fasting? Anna is a woman in the New Testament who was an example of someone who endured. Some scholars believe she was a widow for eighty-four years, and during that time, she never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying until the promise of seeing the Messiah was fulfilled in her life. Luke 2:36‑38. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about endurance through fasting and prayer.

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.

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.

This is Valentine's week, and we are going to discover that "Love's Got Everything to Do with It." This is the second episode in the series "Step into His Presence." Today, we are going to talk about real love as demonstrated by Jesus Christ when He died for us on the cross. We will also talk about how He suffered for us and why we suffer as Christians. We will also consider the blessings that ultimately come from our suffering.

This episode is entitled “Sweet and Bitter Interlude,” and covers Chapter 10 in the Book of Revelation. An interlude is like an intermission and that is what God does in Chapter 10 of Revelation, He gives those going through the Great Tribulation a brief intermission or respite from the judgments being poured out from the first and second Woes in Chapter 9. We encourage you to listen to Episodes 12 and 13 and if you are just joining us, listen to Episode 1 as well.

Hello and welcome to Episode 13, entitled "The Great Tribulation Continues." We move forward with the Great Tribulation from the last episode, Chapter 9 of The Book of Revelation. We are your hosts, Apostle Charles G. Wright and Dr. Stephanie Wright, D.Jur.
We encourage you to listen to Episode 12 and Episode 1, in this series for background and other episodes to get caught up. But as a brief review, which is a little more than one minute: we covered the beginning of The Tribulation in Episode 10, Chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation. The tribulation is a seven-year period, with the last 3 1/2 years being the Great Tribulation, covered in Chapters 8 through 18. As a further review, before chapter six, those who receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord are caught up to meet him in the air or raptured when he returns. Read First Thessalonians Chapter 4, verses 16 and 17. If you have invited Jesus into your heart and know Him as your Savior and Lord, you do not need to fear the end times, the Tribulation, or the Great Tribulation. But we should be concerned for our family, friends, or anyone who does not know Jesus. As we continue through to Chapter 19, you will understand why. If you have not invited Jesus into your heart, now would be a good time to do so.
That is a good lead into today's presentation, "The Great Tribulation Continues."

"No More Tears" - Episode 11, Revelation Chapter 7 - Series: Revelation Expectations
Hello and welcome to our series, “Revelation Expectations.” Today’s Episode 11 is titled “No More Tears.” Apostle Charles G. Wright and Dr. Stephanie Wright, D.Jur., are your hosts for this podcast. Thank you for joining us today. Let’s get started.
We encourage you to listen to Episode 1, in this series and other episodes to get caught up.
Chapter 7, is the final chapter before we begin the Great Tribulation starting in Chapter 8.
Those who know the Lord need to share with the saved and unsaved what will come to pass. Although we may already be in heaven before Christ returns, there are many who will still remain in earth.
Chapter 7, is filled with praise. Praise from the elders, the four creatures, the angels, and a multitude of nations who stand before the throne of God and the before the Lamb of God. Those who came out of great tribulation (great suffering) were there, too, praising God and serving him day and night in the temple.
This is the last chapter before we study the Great Tribulation beginning with Chapter 8 through Chapter 18. See you next time.

Episode 10, Revelation 6, “Introduction to the Great Tribulation”
Hello and welcome to our series, “Revelation Expectations.” Today’s Episode 10, Part 1, is entitled “Introduction to the Great Tribulation.” We are your hosts for today's presentation, Apostle Charles Wright and Dr. Stephanie Wright, D.Jur.
We invite you to listen to the previous episode, and if you are just joining us, listen to Episode 1, as well. Today's episode introduces us to the Great Tribulation.
Jesus told John in Chapter 1:19, to write about the things which he had seen, which were now, and which are to come. Jesus also said in Revelation 1:3, we are blessed if we read and hear the words that He told John to write about. If you have invited Jesus into your heart and know Him as your Savior and Lord, you do not need to fear the end times or the Tribulation period that begins with today’s chapter and goes through Chapter 18. If you have not invited Jesus into your heart, now would be a good time to do so. That is a good lead into today’s presentation “The Great Tribulation.”

Episode 10, Revelation 6, “Six Seals Revealed”
Hello and welcome to our series, “Revelation Expectations.” Today’s Episode 10, Part 1, is entitled “The Four Horsemen and the Four Seals” We are your hosts for today's presentation, Apostle Charles Wright and Dr. Stephanie Wright, D.Jur.
We invite you to listen to the previous episode and if you are just joining us, listen to Episode 1, as well. Today's episode explains the four horsemen, the Tribulation, and the Great Tribulation among other topics.
Jesus told John in Chapter 1:19, to write about the things which he had seen, which were now, and which are to come. Jesus also said in Revelation 1:3, we are blessed if we read and hear the words that He told John to write about and send to the seven churches listed in Chapters 1-3. We are the church, and that message is to us. Jesus’ words that “the time is at hand,” are very important because we do not know when He will return. Chapter 1:7 says, “Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” This alludes to the previous chapters we covered because in those chapters, those who receive Jesus as their Savior and Lord are caught up to meet him in the air or raptured when He returns. Read I Thessalonians 4:16-17. If you have invited Jesus into your heart and know Him as your Savior and Lord, you do not need to fear the end times or the Tribulation period that begins with today’s chapter and goes through Chapter 18. If you have not invited Jesus into your heart, now would be a good time to do so. That is a good lead into today’s presentation about, “The Four Horsemen and the Four Seals.”

Hello and welcome to Episode 9 in our series "Revelation Expectations."
We are your hosts, Apostle Charles and Dr. Stephanie Wright, D.Jur.
Today we will cover Revelation Chapter 5, "Worthy Is the Lamb." Once again, we are at the Throne of God, but this time we are confronted with the question, "Who is worthy to open the scroll with the seven seals?" We will find out who that One is. We should remember as we continue in this Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ that He said we are to be ready, “For the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3. Also, remember John is commissioned to tell the seven churches in Chapters 1-3 in Revelation what Jesus is going to show him in the rest of this Book. Stay with us as we go on this amazing journey!
The Book of Revelation is about Jesus and how he delays his return because he loves us. If you do not know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, now would be a good time to invite him into your heart.
As a reminder, in Episodes 1-7, we finished the first three chapters of Revelation which covered the seven churches to which Jesus sent messages through John. Chapters two and three are not only for the historical churches, but they are for us to take a close look at our relationship with Jesus because we are now moving to the seat of authority in Chapter 4. This is where the power will proceed from to do what must be done, which we will learn about in Chapters 5 through 18.

Hello and welcome to Episode 8 in our series Revelation Expectations.
We are your hosts, Apostle Charles and Dr. Stephanie.
Today we will cover Revelation Chapter 4. "John Is Called to Heaven." We are going to the throne, and to the One who has authority and power for what is from the beginning, for what is now, and for what will be. We are reminded to be ready in Revelation 1:3, “For the time is at hand.”
The Book of Revelation is about Jesus and how he delays his return because he loves us. If you do not know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, now would be a good time to invite him into your heart.

Church of Laodicea, Episode 7, Series: Revelation Expectations
Welcome to Episode 7 in our series Revelation Expectations. We are your hosts, Apostle Charles Wright and Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us on our journey through the last book of the Bible, The Revelation of Jesus Christ. Today, we conclude our study of the seven churches with the Church of Laodicea in Revelation Chapter 3, verses 14-22. As a reminder, we have covered the churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, and Philadelphia in Episodes one through six.
We encourage you to listen to this series’ first podcast or YouTube presentation to establish a foundation for past and future episodes. Revelation reveals Jesus’ love and mercy to us and the unsaved. He prolongs his return because God does not want any to be lost. If you do not know him, now would be a good time to invite Jesus into your heart as Savior and Lord.
We should remember that the Spirit of these seven churches is in the earth today. We should examine ourselves and not focus only on these historical churches but reflect on our own lives and the words in Revelation 1:3, “Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is at hand.” Remember, Jesus addresses the seven churches. We see His words all in "red letter" in some Bibles. Then later, we are told in the chapters following what is to come. The warning of the wrath of God. But the wrath of God is not for those who know Jesus as Savior and Lord.
Okay, it’s time to go to the last of our seven churches, Laodicea.

We are reminded that the spirit of these seven churches is in the earth today.

We are on a journey through the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book in the Bible. Today, we conclude Chapter 2 of Revelation with the Church of Thyatira, verses 18 through 29.

We remind ourselves that the spirit of these seven churches is in the earth today. We should examine ourselves and not focus on these historical churches (although a historical study is good). But we should reflect on our own lives as pastors, leaders, and church members because Revelation 1:3 tells us, “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”
And remember, the seven churches are addressed by Jesus (all red letter) before we are told in the later chapters of what is to come, the warning of the wrath of God. But not for those who know Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Welcome to Episode 3 in our series "Revelation Expectations." Thank you for joining us. This is Apostle Charles Wright, and this is Stephanie Wright.
We are on a journey through the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the last book in the Bible. Today, we travel to the Churches of Smyrna and Pergamos in Chapter 2 of Revelation.

Welcome to "CGM Podcast : In the Heart of God," and our new series for 2023 : Revelation Expectations
Apostle Charles G. Wright and Dr. Stephanie Wright, Esq., are your hosts for this podcast. We were compelled to share with our podcast listeners what we learned after completing a study of the Book of Revelation with our Bible study group last year. This is a beautiful book about Jesus, His mercy on us, and unsaved people. He prolongs His return because God does not want anyone to be lost. Portions of this book are scary, but not for those who know Jesus and have accepted Him into their lives. If you do not know Him, now would be a good time to ask Him into your heart and receive Him as your Savior and Lord. I learned many things that inspired me to want others to know about the Book of Revelation and the expectations it holds. Some things we will discuss are the difference between Antichrist, the beast and the false prophet ; the whore of Babylon, who is not what you think; that people will sin even when Satan has been locked up for 1000 years; that we will not have one drop of blood on our white garments when we go into battle with Jesus; and there is so much more. So, come along with us on this journey through Revelation Expectations.

We are going to look at two people who waited for many years to see God fulfill His promise to them and those two people are Anna and Simeon.

CGM Presents: The Christmas Podcast 2020
Hello and welcome to Day 1, of our Christmas podcast. The purpose of these short podcasts is to encourage you during this season. We are reminded at this time that Jesus loved us so much that he came to earth as a baby who became a man who not only died for our sins but came to give us new hope, every day. So, in these podcasts, we will share scriptures celebrating his birth, hear uplifting Christmas memories from various contributors, and listen to songs from our album “CGM We Love Christmas.” The motto of this Christmas podcast is, “Don’t Let Anything Steal Your Christmas.” We are serious about this now. Don’t you let anything steal your Christmas.
This first podcast will be about Jesus and why He decided to leave his heavenly throne, come to this earth as a baby, then the man who died for us. But first, we will share a Christmas memory from Beaux who was our very first contributor to the memory share project. Beaux was born in Heidelberg, Germany. I think you will agree his Christmas story is the true definition of giving.

CHARLES: Hello and welcome to our "Thank You Podcast for 2022." This is Apostle Charles Wright.
STEPHANIE: And this is Stephanie Wright.
CHARLES: Psalm 136 says, "O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Oh, give thanks unto the Lord." This is Apostle Charles Wright.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year, we want to thank our listeners for tuning in to this podcast. Thanks to you, we have reached 52 countries and almost 900 cities worldwide!
STEPHANIE: We also thank you for your financial support, letters, texts, emails, and phone calls that have inspired us to press on with passion in our purpose. That purpose is to encourage and uplift you to live an abundant life in Christ through each season in your walk with Him.
CHARLES: You are a blessing to us. Most of all, we thank God for his blessings this past year and for giving us His direction on each podcast. Our theme throughout 2022 was "In the Heart of God." We started with God's Word because the Word is God's Heart because Jesus is the Word. Some of the topics we covered included: Christ - His death and resurrection; Jesus' return; Jesus as our living hope; wisdom, peace, heaven, women and men and their relationship with God, and we covered eight weeks on dreams, visions, and thoughts and how God speaks to our hearts.
CHARLES: The past year, 2022, brought some financial, physical, emotional, and other hardships. Our hearts go
out to you. Please remember that "Our God" sees, knows, and He cares and has not forgotten you. We continue to seize onto His Holy Word, which says, "He will never leave us nor forsake us." Hebrews 13:5. Deuteronomy 31:6 tells us to be strong and of good courage and not be afraid, for the Lord, our God, will not fail us nor forsake us. So, although we may feel forsaken, it is just a feeling, it is not a fact, and most of all, it is not the truth.
STEPHANIE: Beginning December 1 and throughout the month of December, we encourage you to listen to select Christmas podcasts, which include special guest appearances, scriptures, and portions of CGM's Christmas CD, "We Love Christmas." A single song or the entire CD may be ordered on our website at cgmissions.com/podcast
CHARLES: We will also be planning for the next year, 2023, so please pray for us. If you have suggestions for next year, please email us at cgmprese:nts@gmail.com
And if you do not know Jesus as your personal Savior, or you have turned away from Him, invite him into your heart today. Call on him to save your life to a life that pleases God. Then, you will experience the true meaning of Christmas.
STEPHANIE: In closing, I always like to remind listeners of my motto since 1998, "Don't Let Anything Steal Your Christmas." That's what happened to me. I let someone steal my Christmas, and it wasn't the Grinch. But after that experience, I refused to let anything or anyone steal my Christmas.
CHARLES: So, have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving, a Blessed Christmas, and a Joyous New Year. And be sure to tune in on December 1 as we start the Christmas podcasts.
CHARLES: This is Apostle Charles Wright . . .
STEPHANIE: . . . and this is Stephanie. May God's peace, love, and protection be with you until we meet on December 1. And please, "Don't Let Anything Steal Your Christmas."

Hello and welcome to Episode 22 in our series, “In the Heart of God.” Today we have a question for you: What do you do when you have bad dreams or negative dreams? Are you a worrier, or are you a warrior? It’s time to discuss how to be a “Dream Warrior.”
Our topic is dreams. We are going to share why we dream; look at scriptures and Biblical examples of dreams, and share some personal accounts of good and bad dreams and the outcomes. We are also going to give specific directions on how to deal with bad or negative dreams. We are addressing this subject because recently, a friend had a negative dream, and they weren’t quite sure how to handle it. We will share more details about this dream later. But, Stephanie, this is a topic we have shared with others over the years, and it is something we practice on a regular basis.
Today’s Episode 22, is entitled, “Overcoming Rejection.” The devil is a bully who has used rejection since the beginning of time to intimidate, threaten, and hold people back from fulfilling their dreams or just enjoying the life that God wants them to live in abundance.

Let’s get started.

Hello and welcome to Episode 18 in our series, “In the Heart of God.” This is Apostle Charles Wright, and we continue with our theme, “Women Who Got What They Wanted.” Today, we will focus on a woman who would not be denied a financial restoration. That is the woman who lost a precious coin and searched until she found it. We will discuss who this woman was; how she found that coin; and ask what is the significance of that coin in our lives.
Let’s join Stephanie as we go into the Heart of God.
STEPHANIE: Apostle Charles, thank you for the introduction to today’s podcast. Our lesson today comes from Luke 15:8‑10. As previously referenced by Apostle Charles, Jesus tells a parable of a woman who had ten silver coins. She lost one of them in her home. It must have been nighttime because the scripture says she lit a candle and started sweeping the house. In time she found her silver coin. She was so overwhelmed with joy that she called her friends and neighbors together and asks them to rejoice with her.
Verse 10 of Luke 15, compares the joy this woman and her friends had to the joy of God’s angels when one sinner repents.
God cares for the lost and he will sweep into the darkest corners of the earth to save one soul.
I would like to take this parable one step further and say this. God cares when we have lost something precious. And He will go with us to the deepest depths to find it. It is in the Heart of God to restore us to a place of completeness.

Hello and welcome to Episode 15 in our series, “In the Heart of God.” My name is Stephanie Wright. Today, we continue our theme, “Women Who Got What They Wanted.” When what we want is in the heart of God, we will get what we want. We will discuss a woman named Rizpah who fought valiantly for six months to protect the bodies of her sons and another woman’s sons until they could receive a proper burial. We will explore Rizpah’s history and how we can apply her challenges to our own lives.
But, before we get started, we want to remember we are celebrating Memorial Day in the United States, a time to honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives so we could live a life of freedom. So, please remember to take a few moments out of your day to honor them and their memory.
Now, please listen to the podcast about a woman named Rizpah.
So, are you going to get what you want from God? As we end this podcast, our prayer is that you will be like Rizpah and stay focused on what you want. Trust God to protect you against your adversary Satan who wants to destroy your plans for success like the prey in Rizpah’s story. Most of all, remember that Jesus is with you, He hears you when you pray, He knows your heart’s desire, and He will give you what you need and want when it is in the heart of God. “I know the thoughts that I have toward you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you your expected end.” Jeremiah 29:11.

Today, we are going into the Heart of God as we discuss, Jesus, Our Living Hope, from I Peter Chapter 1.
My name is Apostle Charles and along with Stephanie, we invite you to join us on our journey into the Heart of God.
Hello everyone, this is Stephanie thank you for joining us. About 2 weeks ago, before Easter, I started reading in I Peter, Chapter 1, and my heart was touched when I read verse 3, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”
We recently celebrated Easter or Resurrection Sunday. We want to remember the power of Jesus’ resurrection every day not only one day in the year. Every day, He gives us living hope through His resurrection. Looking closer at verse 3, we read that this “lively hope” is because of God’s abundant mercy, not a little bit of mercy, but much mercy, large mercy, many mercies – that’s how the word abundant is defined in that verse, His abundant mercy that gives us this lively hope. I am so grateful that God is so merciful.
Let me back up here and say, when Peter wrote this Book of 1st Peter, he was writing to Believers who were being persecuted, who were suffering for being believers in Jesus. No doubt that suffering included being put to death. Now, in America, and most parts of the world, Believers don’t face death, but there are some places in the world where we do and we should pray diligently for those Christians.
But suffering and persecution is expected. In fact, Peter reminded us to not think it strange concerning the fiery trials which we will try us. I Peter 4:12-19, but instead, we are to rejoice because we have hope, that is a living hope, that is alive, not dead. This is because God raised Jesus up and Jesus walked out of the tomb alive. That is the kind of hope we have for every situation we face in this life.
But we have to constantly remember we have this hope not just one day of the year, as I said, but every day. Jesus lives and He lives in us through the Holy Spirit. Verse 4 in 1st Peter goes on to say that because of Jesus’ resurrection to life everlasting we have an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for us. . . “an inheritance that is incorruptible. In other words, it cannot decay, our inheritance cannot die. I know when we are going through hurt, pain, and suffering, it is difficult to extract our minds from this earthly realm and focus on the heavenly, eternal realm. But the reality for Believers is that this life will be over one day, and this body is going to die (in fact some of us are already experiencing these bodies going downhill – we can’t do what we did 10 or 20 years ago). But this body is temporary! We have an incorruptible body that will never die waiting for us. Because of Jesus’ resurrection and the living hope we have treasures in heaven that cannot be corrupted. Jesus said in Matthew 6:19-21, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Our earthly possessions will be no more.

Hello, and welcome to Episode 9, in our series, “In the Heart of God.” Today our topic is Passover. Apostle Charles and I are going to discuss what Passover is and its relevance in our lives today. My name is Stephanie Wright. Join us on our journey as we look into the Heart of God to understand the significance of Passover.
Passover is the most important holiday in the Jewish calendar. It is the celebration of the liberation of the Jewish people from 430 years of slavery in Egypt. It will be celebrated this year from Friday, April 15 through sundown on Saturday, April 23. So, it will be celebrated during what we call Resurrection or Easter Sunday, April 17.
The Passover is a remembrance by the Jewish people of that time when they took a lamb, slain it, and put the blood over the post of their door, the death angel passed over (Passover), and in the end, Pharoah did let God’s people go from their bondage.
I have never focused on Passover much but I was moved by some scriptures I was reading one morning in 2 Chronicles 30 and 31. King Hezekiah called the people to Jerusalem to remember the Passover and how God had delivered them out of Egyptian bondage. Some of the people were glad to remember but others mocked the King and did not go to Jerusalem. But those who obeyed the King and came to Jerusalem were blessed. These scriptures made me think about the significance of the lamb and the blood, obedience, and blessing today.
The Passover is a foreshadowing of the Crucifixion of Christ. We know from scripture that Jesus is the Lamb, the Lamb of God. John said in John 1:29, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world," and in John 1:36, John reaffirms the title, “The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.” Jesus represents the Passover lamb. And that Lamb’s blood was shed on Calvary for our sin, to take away our sin, to cleanse us from sin. When He gave His life on Calvary, His blood was shed it cleansed us from all sin! 1 John 1:7b reads: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. So, we are set free through the shedding of blood from our bondage to sin; through his suffering, we are set free from sickness for by His stripes we are healed (1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5); and finally, we are set free from death because we will have everlasting life. (1 Corinthians 15:57).

Episode 7, "In the Heart of God: His Ultimate Sacrifice and Lent"
Hello and welcome to Episode 7 in our series, "In the Heart of God." Today, we take a slight departure to discuss what is known as Lent. The Lenten Season generally occurs 40 to 45 days before Resurrection Sunday or Easter. It is a time of personal sacrifice to commemorate how Jesus prayed and fasted 40 days and nights in the desert after He was filled with the Holy Spirit. Join us as we journey into the heart of God to learn about Lent and the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us. My name is Stephanie Wright. Stay with us to the end as Apostle Charles closes us out.

Welcome to Episode 6, in our series, "In the Heart of God." This week we are discussing, "Peace, In the Heart of God." It is God's will that we have His Peace. Let’s listen as Stephanie tells us how “Peace Is in the Heart of God."
If you are keeping up with world news you know that we are again seeing turmoil at its height. The Bible says there will be wars and rumors of wars. Matthew 24:6. But, then Jesus said, “See that you be not troubled for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet.” So, we find ourselves again revisiting a theme we shared not too long ago. Only this time peace is the theme. God wants you to be at peace even while wars and rumors of war loom. So that’s what we are going to talk about today. God wants you to be at peace with him first because if you are at peace with God you will be at peace with the world and you will be at peace with yourself.

Hello and welcome to Episode 3 in the series, “In the Heart of God.” Today our topic is, “The Word of God.” Our objective in this series is to know that when our hearts connect with the Heart of God, what we want or need is going to happen.

We encourage you to listen to the first two episodes in this series and the podcast from last season that inspired this new series, Episode 7, Season 7, also entitled, “In the Heart of God.”

Greetings and welcome to our first podcast for the year 2022. This is Apostle Charles.
We are starting a new series entitled, “In the Heart of God.” We will explore what is in the heart of God, how God’s Word connects us to the heart of God, and how agreeing with what is in God’s heart makes it a reality in our lives.

This episode is about expecting God to bless you in 2022. So we are now ending the year 2021. And I am thinking of the tears that have been shed by many people in 2021. Some of you have cried some bitter tears. I know I have on a few occasions, but listen to me, there is something about crying out to God and shedding your tears. God hears us when we cry out to him. God sees the tears that we have shed and your tears are not in vain. Your crying out is not in vain because when you love the Lord, he sees, he knows he hears and he answers. He takes your tears that you shed in 2021, and he is getting ready to pour them out in 2022 , pour out a blessing and water a garden of blessings for you in 2022. Just remain faithful to him, continue to trust him and continue to believe in him.
This is Apostle Charles G. Wright and Stephanie Wright. Until next time, may God’s love, peace, and protection be with you.

Episode 5, “Jesus, Emmanuel Everywhere With You"
Hello and welcome to Episode 5, of our Christmas podcast entitled, “Jesus, Emmanuel Everywhere With You."
Today, we are blessed with a dynamic and timely message from Pretoria, South Africa, delivered by Pastor Aggy Kgasoe. Her presentation is based on her favorite Christmas verse, Isaiah 7:14, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
This is a powerful message especially for a time like this. Pastor Aggy reminds us that God is with us. Jesus is the answer. His name is Emmanuel, He is with us. He is with us wherever we go, whatever situations in which we find ourselves even in the midst of a pandemic.
Stay with us to the end of this Christmas message. We will close with the amazing voice of Delores Tingle singing “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” from CGM’s Christmas Album, “We Love Christmas.” Order it from Amazon, Apple Music, Spotify, and other platforms.
This is Stephanie Wright with Apostle Charles G. Wright. Until next time, may God’s love, peace, and protection be with you, and remember, don’t let anything steal your Christmas.

Welcome to Episode 4 of our Christmas Podcast entitled, “Grateful for Jesus.” We are going to discuss being grateful or thankful for Jesus during this season and every season in our lives.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

These Christmas podcasts are brought to encourage you as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Hello and welcome to Day 1, of CGMissions Christmas Podcast. Today’s podcast is entitled “He Left Home for Christmas.” This podcast is about Jesus and how He left His heavenly home and came to this earth to bring us the first Christmas and the first Christmas gifts.

week’s Episode entitled, “Stay in the Game” with God. He will show us how Jesus
empowers us to be victorious while we "Run in God’s River of Joy." This is
Stephanie Wright. Let’s join Apostle Charles for today’s presentation. (End music)
CHARLES: Hello, this is Apostle Charles. We will get started on our
presentation shortly, but before we get started, I have a brief reminder. Our nation, the United States is celebrating Veterans Day.
We are reminded of many veterans who are now disabled. Yet they are still running in their race of life with hopes to be joyful. Please, remember our disabled veterans by supporting your local Disabled American Veterans chapter. We thank God that we are a free people to worship. Now, let’s go into today’s presentation.
Today’s Episode 6, is a follow‑up to last week’s presentation, “Stay in the Game.”
We reflected this spiritual game as our “Olympics of Life.” And as we
participate in our godly Olympics, we should remember what Proverbs chapter 17: verse 22, states:
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” We will expand on this verse later in today’s presentation. But remember, having joyful hearts are like a medicine as we run in God's River of His Holy Spirit.If you would like to be a guest on our podcast email us at: cgmpresents@gmail.com

Hello and welcome to Episode 10, of “Hope Beyond Brokenness.” Today we are going to explore the link between hope and forgiveness.
During our study on “Hope Beyond Brokenness” I asked myself the question: Does forgiveness -or unforgiveness-affect or have an impact on hope? So, naturally, 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. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s explore this topic.

Episode 10, "A Royal Repents" Empowered to Fast Series
He praised God like no other man. He slayed a giant. But he laid with another man’s wife. We are talking about King David today and we will see how he taught us about true repentance. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started!
Episode 9, “The Power of Repentance”
“I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry.” How many times have we heard people say those two words or how many times have we had to say them? Next to saying, “I love you,” “I’m sorry” are two of the most difficult and at the same time most powerful words to say for most people. Today, we are going to talk about the power of repentance in fasting with prayer by someone who said, “I’m sorry,” for himself and for a nation. That person is the prophet Nehemiah whose name means, “God Has Comforted.” We will see how this man sacrificed a life of comfort to help restore the City of Jerusalem. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.
Hello and welcome to the celebration of our first anniversary in podcasting. This is Apostle Charles Wright with Apostle Stephanie. Today, we give thanks to God and to each of you who have supported us this past year. Charles George Missions (CGM) started podcasting last year on June 20, 2020.
The overriding, overarching, predominant theme throughout these podcasts is God’s love for us through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, and the empowerment by the Holy Spirit. Thus, the purpose of our weekly episodes has been to encourage, empower, exhort, edify, and most of all show God’s love to followers of and future followers of Jesus Christ. Toward that end, to date, CGM has been used by God to spread the gospel throughout the world to more than thirty-two countries and 438 cities. We have produced 72 episodes in seven series in the past twelve months.
Whether this is your first time listening or you are a longtime listener, we ask you to help us celebrate this anniversary week by listening to one or more of the past podcasts. They can be accessed by category or series on our website, cgmissions.com/podcast. We’ll share this link with you again at the end of this presentation.
So, we hope you are inspired to listen to some of the previous episodes. We thank you again for listening over this past year and thank you for helping us celebrate this first year anniversary of podcasting for CGM. Now, please pray for us that we go forward in the power, might, and direction of the Holy Spirit each week. And pray that we keep self out of these podcasts and always keep them about Jesus, the Cross, salvation, and His empowerment.
Again, if you want to listen to any series and episode, go to our website, cgmissions.com/podcast – that’s cgmissions.com/podcast. You can also reach us on Facebook at CGM Podcast International. Our handle @cgmissions can be used to reach us on YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter, again, that’s @cgmissions for YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.
On behalf of Charles George Missions, and Apostle Stephanie, this is Apostle Charles Wright, until next time.
Episode 8, Calling All Superheroes and Sheroes
When you were little, did you have a superhero or did you want to be a superhero? 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 who can make a difference on the small stage or on the world stage? Yes, you 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 the supernatural, superheroes in God’s Word who fasted, prayed, and changed the outcome of history for nations. But I have also heard modern‑day accounts of how a prayer warrior changed things through their fasting and prayer and delivered a nation. Let’s explore this today. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about you, the superhero prayer warrior.
Years ago, I read a book entitled, “God’s Chosen Fast” by Arthur Wallis. I cannot cite to the exact page in the book, but somewhere he tells of a modern‑day case where a person went on a fast (I cannot remember how many days) in prayer for deliverance of an entire nation. The nation was delivered from whatever the oppression was the focus of the person’s prayer. While I cannot cite the exact page in the book, that modern‑day account of deliverance for a nation through one person’s prayer has stayed with me all these years. Why am I talking about this? Because we need to know that we have the same power through prayer and fasting to change not only our own life’s situations but we can change the world. Perhaps fasting and praying to change the world is not on your list of supernatural superhero things to do but you should know, you do have the power to do so if that is what God tells you to fast and pray about. But, for now, let’s visit and revisit a Bible hero, a shero, and a king who changed the world through prayer and fasting.
We will start with one of the most famous Bible heroes known by most everyone – Moses. Then we will discuss the Jonah and the King of Nineveh and end with Queen Esther.
And, of course, we recently finished the podcast on Elijah, one man, who fasted 40 days and nights and that fast eventually led to the destruction of an evil king and queen, Ahab and Jezebel. We will tell you how to access all these podcasts at the end of this presentation.
We close with remembering how Jesus fasted and prayed for us after he was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. Matthew 4. He fasted and prayed so others could be delivered from sin, sickness, and spiritual death, and to destroy the works of the devil. He fasted and prayed so we would know that we too, through the Holy Ghost, have the same power to continue His work in the earth.
Jesus prayed for us. For whom are we praying? Are we praying for the world? What about that person who is suffering a debilitating physical condition? That family member, that elderly church mother, deacon, or pastor who prayed for you? Listen, when you see others suffering and God has told you to fast and pray for them and you don’t do it, first of all, that’s disobedience. And disobedience is not a good thing. It’s time to stand up and be the superhero and supershero that Jesus, through the power of the Holy Ghost, called you to be.
You many feel that your prayers and fasting are like dropping a teaspoon of water in an ocean. But remember, Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday and forever. He is no respecter of persons, so you are no less important that the Bible personalities we discussed today who saved a nation. So, Superheroes and Sheroes, put your capes, not put on your armor, and let’s get to work.
Now, let’s listen as Apostle Charles tells us how to access the referenced materials in this podcast and how you can contact us.
Episode 7, Wrestling in the Heavenlies
Have you ever been to a wrestling match? Attending one can give you a different perspective on Ephesians 6:12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Today, we are going to talk about wrestling in spiritual warfare against an invisible enemy. My name is Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us today. Let’s get started.
We have focused on empowerment through fasting the past six episodes. We have emphasized that fasting and prayer are two of our most powerful spiritual weapons after the Word of God. Today, I thought it would be good to talk about spiritual warfare from the perspective of Ephesians, Chapter 6.
Most everyone knows what warfare is because we see it in the movies, on television and have heard firsthand about actual warfare from soldiers. But spiritual warfare is different because you are fighting an unseen, invisible enemy. Our invisible enemy is God’s enemy, the same enemy from the beginning of time, Satan. The warfare began when Satan rebelled against God and influenced a third of the angels of heaven to join him in the rebellion. Of course, God defeated him and cast him and his angel entourage out of heaven. Revelation 12:7‑17. These fallen angels are evil spirits that exist in the heavenlies and wield their wicked influence in the earth. Their assignment is to lead mankind into sin and away from salvation through Jesus Christ to a fate of everlasting separation from God. Revelation 20:10‑15. But, listen to me. As we proceed in this episode, remember, Jesus defeated the devil and all his demons on Resurrection morning so we are already winners in every wrestling match. Furthermore, we have angels of protection around us. Psalms 34:7, says, “The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them. Hebrews 1:14, says, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” These are just a few scriptures, there are many more scriptures of protection and comfort.
Now, returning to Ephesians 6:12, which says we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. If we forget who the real opponent is in this spiritual warfare, our focus will be misdirected. The struggle isn’t with who or what you see, the struggle is with who or what you do not see behind the person or even “in” the person.
In summary, spiritual warfare is warfare in the spirit against an unseen enemy, the enemy is not flesh and blood, the enemy is not people; our weapons are not carnal, man‑made weapons but are spiritual weapons (the Word of God, prayer, fasting and whatever the Holy Spirit equips you with to bring to the wrestling match). Finally, the most important thing to remember is Jesus defeated our opponent, the devil, in the most eventful wrestling match of all time when He rose from the dead having swallowed up death in victory. Therefore, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!

Episode 6, “The Unplanned Fast: Elijah and Jezebel
Hello and welcome to Episode 6, in our “Empowerment Through Fasting Series.” Today’s episode is entitled, “The Unplanned Fast: Elijah and Jezebel.” Today we are going to learn the significance of an unplanned fast and how Elijah’s fast played an integral role in fulfillment of the prophecy concerning King Ahab’s kingdom and Queen Jezebel’s downfall. Let’s talk about Empowerment Through Fasting.
Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 1, in this series entitled, “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 encourage you to email us with your personal testimonies on fasting. We will give details on how to contact us and how to access past episodes referenced in today’s presentation. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s begin today’s episode with an introduction of Elijah and Jezebel.
Elijah was one of the most well‑known prophets of the Old Testament. He performed many miracles in the Old Testament (stopped the rain and started it again; provided endless food for a widow; brought a child back to life; called down fire on his enemy). All of these accounts are found in 1 Kings 17 and 18; 2 Kings 1 and 2; and James 5. Also, this prophet was so close to God that he was translated from earth to heaven, meaning, he did not die but was taken directly to heaven – in Elijah’s case, he was taken to heaven in a whirlwind. 2 Kings 2.
Queen Jezebel became the wife of King Ahab of Israel around 874 BC. She brought to the marriage heathen practices and idol worship most notably worship of a heathen god, Baal. As stated in the beginning of this presentation, she was one of the most, if not the most, evil woman in the Bible. She brought 450 of her Baal‑worshipping prophets into the kingdom and then ordered the murder of the prophets of the Lord (I Kings 18:4, 13). She engineered the murder of an innocent man named Naboth because he would not sell his vineyard to her husband, King Ahab. I Kings 21. For this heinous act, Elijah prophesied that she would be eaten by dogs by the wall of Jezreel, the city where the king and queen reigned. I Kings 21:23.
Today’s presentation occurred in I Kings 18, and details the conflict between Elijah and Queen Jezebel leading to Elijah’s forced fast. So, what led to the showdown between Elijah and Queen Jezebel is this, basically God got fed up with all the Baal worship so he told Elijah to go to King Ahab and set up the showdown on Mount Carmel. Long story short, in the interest of time, Elijah defeats Jezebel’s prophets.
Out of Elijah’s forced fast came a greater fast, the results of which led to the destruction of an evil queen who controlled an evil kingdom. What is important is that we see the power of fasting, whether small or great, planned or unplanned. We see how God uses fasting to destroy evil and to have his will fulfilled.
We close here by remembering another person who was driven into the wilderness not by evil, but by the Holy Spirit, to fast 40 days and 40 nights. That person, of course, was Jesus. He emerged from His fast and commenced to destroy the works of devil. But, more important, Jesus empowered us through the Holy Spirit to destroy the evil found in the earth, in principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12. More about Jesus’ Holy Ghost encounter and the works that He did can be heard in the series, “Empowered by the Holy Ghost.”
Now, let’s listen as Apostle Charles gives details on how to contact us and listen to those past episodes on fear that I referenced. And please send an email to cgmpresents@gmail.com with your accounts of how fasting has helped you.
Most of us have seen the Mission Impossible movies and some of us 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? We encourage you to email us with your personal testimonies on fasting. We will give details on how to contact us and how to access past episodes referenced in today’s presentation. My name is Stephanie Wright and this is Episode 5, “Unmasking the Enemy” in our series Empowered Through Fasting.
Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 1, in this series entitled, “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.
So, who is the real enemy when we talk about being empowered to wage spiritual warfare through fasting and prayer. Well, of course, we all know the enemy from the beginning of time was the devil. It started in the garden of Eden with the temptation of Adam and Eve.
But, today, well, we are going to talk about another enemy. That enemy is us. We can sometimes be our own worst enemy when it comes to submitting to a fast. We sabotage our fast by not being obedient when the Spirit says fast; we sabotage our fast when we compromise with the Spirit on the fast; and we sabotage our fast when we are not sincere (we fast for the wrong reasons). Now, you may not do any of these things but listen anyway so you can be a help to someone else.
So, be empowered through the Holy Spirit and do not be your worst enemy. Obey the call to fast, don’t compromise, and remember the purpose is to do the will of God and in so doing, we will destroy the works of the devil.
Now, let’s listen as Apostle Charles gives details on how to contact us and listen to past episodes. And please send an email to cgmpresents@gmail.com with your accounts of how fasting has helped you. God bless.
Have you ever been faced with death for standing up for what you believe in? How about being thrown into a lion’s den? ROAR! Hello and welcome to Episode 4, in our “Empowered Through Fasting” series. Last week we talked about when to fast. This week we will discuss how to have a successful fast by looking at a righteous man named Daniel. Yes, the Daniel from the Book of Daniel who was thrown to the lions for supper. We encourage you to email us with your personal testimonies on fasting. We will give details on how to contact us at the end of this presentation. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about empowerment through fasting and prayer.
Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 1, in this series entitled, “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.
Today, we are going to focus on Daniel from the Old Testament, Book of Daniel, and his success through prayer and fasting. We are not going to focus on the type of food Daniel ate in Daniel 1:12 and 10:2‑3, because there is plenty of information on the internet about what is known as the “Daniel Fast.” What we will emphasize in today’s presentation is Daniel’s obedience and dedication to God when it came to fasting and prayer. In addition to Daniel, Chapters one and ten, Chapter 9:3, specifically references Daniel “fasting” but makes no mention of food or sustenance of any kind. We can therefore conclude this was not a partial fast like Chapters 1 and 10, but a complete fast of no food and water or at least no food.
In any event, Daniel’s fasting resulted in answered prayers in all three of the aforementioned chapters. But, why were Daniel’s fasts successful? We will briefly point to three reasons for Daniel’s success: passion, persistence, and patience.
So, what is the key to a successful fast? Love of God, persistence and patience, among other things. And of course, if you feel like you need help in any of these areas, you know what the answer is, right? Jesus said, “[T]he Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you.” John 14:26, New American Standard Bible. Just ask the Holy Spirit to help you. We have a whole series on the Holy Spirit, so please listen as Apostle Charles gives details on how to contact us and listen to past episodes. And please send an email to cgmpresents@gmail.com with your accounts of how fasting has helped you. God bless.
Anna was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Luke 2:37. Hello and welcome to Episode 3, in our “Empowered Through Fasting” series. When is the best time to fast? That’s our topic this week. We will also share one or two personal experiences on fasting. We encourage you to email us with your personal testimonies on fasting. We will give details on how to contact us at the end of this presentation. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about empowerment through fasting and prayer.
Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 1, in 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.
Last week, we discussed why we fast. This week, we will discuss when we should fast. I opened this episode with a scripture about Anna, one of my favorite Bible heroes. Anna was a prophetess who dedicated most of her life to service in the temple while waiting to see the baby Jesus. What is significant about this woman for today’s presentation is that she fasted and prayed for the majority of her adult life. Most interpretations of the scripture believe she fasted and prayed for 84 years after she became a widow. Luke 2:37‑38.
So, when should we fast? Anytime is a good time to fast but the best time is when the Holy Spirit leads you or compels to fast. Let’s reflect once more on how the Holy Spirit compelled Jesus to fast. He is our stellar example on fasting because He was obedient to the Spirit and fasted 40 days and nights then came out of that fast with power to accomplish the work He was called to do. Mark 1:12‑13; 15‑45.
Another example of someone who fasted under the direction of the Holy Spirit is the Apostle Paul. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 11:27, that he was in “fasting” often. Paul indeed needed to be fasting often because he suffered through many test and trials. He was beaten, stoned, shipwrecked, on dangerous journeys, threatened by robbers, threatened by his own fellow countrymen, suffered hunger thirst, cold, nakedness and he finished the list by saying “he had the care of all the churches.” The last one was probably more challenging than any of the other things he went through. 2 Corinthians 11:24‑28.
So, for Paul, fasting was probably anytime and almost all the time. But that is what fasting will do. It helps you through difficult times or as Paul said, “perilous” times. I cannot explain the strength that comes from fasting. It is something you have to experience for yourself. Fasting encourages you when you should be discouraged; fasting gives you hope when you should feel hopeless; and when you want to give up and “throw in the towel” fasting gives you strength to go one more round in the fight and finish the fight.
So, anytime is a good time to fast but what is most important is to listen, hear, and obey the direction of the Holy Spirit in fasting.
Now, please listen as Apostle Charles gives details on how to contact us. And please send an email to cgmpresents@gmail.com with your accounts of how fasting has helped you. God bless.
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 2, in our Empowered through Fasting series. Today we are going to discuss three reasons for fasting and we will share a personal testimony about fasting. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about empowerment through fasting and prayer.
Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode one in this series, “Empowered through Fasting with Prayer,” please do so. It provides scriptures, some basic foundational principles, contemporary examples of fasting with prayer, and caveats on how to fast.
So, why do we fast? The simple answer is “because Jesus fasted.” And, I believe when he said in Matthew 6:16, “when you fast,” not “if you fast,” he is encouraging us to be like Him. And, after all, don’t we want to be like Jesus? We should want to be like Jesus, who after He fasted, did what He was sent to this earth to do. When Jesus returned from His forty days and nights of fasting (with no food), Luke 4:14, says “He returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and he taught in their synagogues.” In other words, Jesus went straight to work proclaiming the gospel.
Fasting is a feast for your faith. It produces the same fruit Jesus produced through the power of the Holy Spirit. The same anointing will lead you to speak the gospel to the poor in spirit, to want healing for those who are broken in their spirit, to break chains off those bound by evil spirits, to open the natural and spiritual eyes of those blinded, to give comfort and a healing salve to those who have been bruised physically, mentally, or spiritually. In short, fasting with prayer gives us compassion for those who are hurting - not just those we know, like family and friends.
Now, before we go to our final topic on why we fast, here is a personal testimony of deliverance through fasting. As I testified to in the first episode of this series “Empowerment through Fasting with Prayer,” Episode One, I learned about fasting and learned how to fast when I was a baby in Christ. My church taught the importance and power of fasting. There came a time when I was afflicted in my back so badly I could not sit. It was serious enough that I considered having back surgery, but I knew this was no normal back pain. In addition to fasting, I prayed and read faith healing materials from early-era evangelists. I do not recall what kind of fast I was on to help deliver me out of the pain but the deliverance was not immediate. I am not sure how many weeks the pain lasted but one day, while on my knees in prayer, I suddenly realized the pain was gone!
As we close, here is a final important consideration about fasting. We fast to God’s glory and therefore, we fast according to His direction if we want real results manifested from the fast.
So, what does God say about fasting? In Isaiah 58:6-14, God asks the following question and I am paraphrasing here. He asks, “Did I choose this fast or did you choose this fast?
So, why do we fast? We fast not only because Jesus fasted, and to give God glory, and to bless others, but we fast so we can be blessed. And God promises us that we will be blessed in our fasting as long as we do it to His glory and according to His purpose.
Now, let’s listen as Apostle Charles gives us some closing remarks and tells you how to contact us and how to access past presentations.
Nothing is Impossible with God
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 what He has once done, He can do again and again. It is so easy to forget, but the Holy Ghost 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. What I am talking about is what we (my husband and I did as prayer warriors). 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.
Okay, moving on.
The Bible talks about fasting in the Old Testament and the New Testament. In general, when you think of fasting, you think about denying yourself of food and water or just food. Some people expand the definition of fasting broadly to include denial of things that bring personal enjoyment. In the New Testament, Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights without food but we believe he had some form of water. (Matthew 4:1-2; and Luke 4:1-2). He understood the importance of fasting from the moment he was driven into the desert and the Holy Spirit compelled Him to fast and continue in prayer. It was only after that wilderness experience that He returned and began His ministry which included preaching, teaching, performing healings and miracles and more. (Episodes 7, this series). In the Book of Esther (Old Testament) the Jewish people fasted on two separate occasions in conjunction with praying to God to spare them from annihilation by an evil man named Haman. Queen Esther was not in the first round of fasting. (Esther 4:1-3). However, when she was asked to go before King Ahasuerus and ask him to spare the lives of her people (something for which she could be put to death), she asked everyone to fast three days and nights. (Esther 4:16). This included her maids who were probably not Jewish. And, of course, you know the outcome, the Jewish people were delivered and their enemy, Haman, was destroyed. (Queen Esther Podcast, Episode 7). We will tell you how to access these podcasts at the end of this episode. But, suffice it to say for now that fasting is Biblical and provides sound reasons for implementing it as a spiritual warfare weapon to answered prayer.
The Bible says there are some things that are not going to be manifested without fasting.
Yes, perhaps just praying would have been enough but I see fasting as a catalyst that boosts my faith. We do not fast to make God do anything but I believe self-sacrifice pleases Him and He does not want to see us disappointed. But, let me say this, even if He does not answer the way we hope He will answer after we have prayed and fasted or even if He does not answer at all, we should be like the young Hebrew men. When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to throw them into the fiery furnace, they said, “ . . . our God whom we serve is able to deliver us . . .

Episode 14, Empowered through Self-Control, The Fruit of the Spirit
Don't you have any self-control? No doubt you have heard someone ask that question of you or you may have even asked someone else that question. Don't you have any self-control? Well, today we are going to talk about the Fruit of the Spirit called temperance also known as self-control or discipline from Galatians 5:23. We are going to lay to rest this myth that we do not have self-control. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let's talk about being empowered through temperance.
You know, we could spend hours talking about self-control but we are going to focus mostly on one thing. As stated in the opening, we are going to destroy this notion that we do not have the power to control ourselves in whatever area we claim not to have control over. Now, setting aside a medical condition, which may prevent some of us from having control over certain aspects of our lives, for the most part, we have the ability to control what we do. Why? Because Jesus said we do. When did He say that? When He said He would send the Holy Ghost back into the earth once He ascended into heaven. He said the Holy Spirit would be our Helper, Advocate, Guide, and more. (John 14:26, Comforter is “Paraclete” in Greek and means Advocate, Helper). If you have not listened to at least the first two or three episodes in this Empowerment series, please do so to learn about foundation principles and many scriptures on the Holy Spirit and empowerment. At the end of this episode, we will give information on how to access prior episodes.
As we have done in the past, we will look to our perfect example of temperance, Jesus. And we always emphasize that Jesus exemplified every Fruit of the Spirit not only because He was God but because He was also man. Otherwise, we would use the excuse that Jesus could exercise self-control because He was God. No, no, and no. We are filled with the same Holy Ghost that Jesus was filled with when He was baptized and driven into the desert for 40 days and nights and fasted during that time without food. He went into and came out of the desert experience filled with the Holy Spirit and He showed us what self-control was all about. The ultimate example of His self-control was the suffering He experienced before and during His crucifixion. He did not come down from the cross, He was disciplined enough that He let His love for us absorb the pain until He died on the cross but was resurrected on the third day.
This God-man was disciplined enough that die for something He did not do. He was sinless, yet He had enough self-control to hang on the cross for about six hours. He had a lot of time to think about whether or not He wanted to be hanging there for the sins of the world when He, Himself, was sinless.
So, what about us? As we have already said, we have the same Holy Ghost that Jesus had. When we become believers and receive Christ into our lives, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38; Acts 5:32; John 15:26, all support this. Through the Holy Spirit we have the same power that Jesus had to exercise self-control, be disciplined, be temperate in all things. 1 Corinthians 9:25. And all means all and that's all that all means. I don't care if it is food, sex, lying, drugs, hatred, or whatever little secret intemperate thing we think nobody knows about. Yes, some of the things I just mentioned Christians are hung up on and in and need to be delivered from. In fact, the word temperance is defined in the Greek as “self-control (the virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, especially his sensual appetites).” Furthermore, before we even get to the list of the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, Paul lists the works of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21. (Go to the transcript for the rest of this Episode Description).
Episode 13 Meekness is not Weakness
Today we are going to talk about the eighth fruit of the Spirit, meekness-what it is, how Jesus was the perfect example of meekness yet strong, not weak and we will ask the question: Are we meek yet strong like Jesus? This is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about how meekness empowers us through the Holy Spirit.
Meekness is not weakness. It is the eighth fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:23 and is defined, in part, as humility, gentleness, and mildness. We also think of someone being meek when they are kind and they respect others. But, too often people equate meekness with weakness when it is just the opposite. When we exercise the fruit of meekness we really show discipline and strength and thus empowerment through the Holy Spirit. We will look to Jesus, our perfect example of meekness and power in today's presentation.

Hello, this is Stephanie Wright and welcome to Episode 12, "Resurrection Empowerment" When Jesus was resurrected, we were resurrected to new life as well. Jesus died and rose to everlasting life not only to show us He is the only One, True, Living God but He was resurrected to let us know He can resurrect the good things in our lives that have been lost, given away, or taken away. He restores, revives, rejuvenates through His resurrection. He was resurrected to let you know, He is not onlyThe Way, The Truth, and The Life, (John 14:6), but He brings the good things back TO life. He resurrects every good thing you have lost. What do you need resurrected? The intangible thing, that cannot be seen or touched? The tangible thing that can be seen, can be touched? He resurrects that too! Hope? He said He resurrects hope through faith because faith is the substance of things hoped for. (Hebrews 11:1). He’s right there on Resurrection Morning saying whatever it is, I was resurrected not as a Spirit, but in the flesh (John 20:17) so you can see that I am The One with the Power to resurrect the good things in your life that have faded, stolen, or that you foolishly gave away. The spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, the everything. You need your mind resurrected to new life, then He will give you His mind (the mind of Christ). Philippians 2:5. Do you need your body resurrected from sickness, He said, the Resurrection did that too because by My stripes you are healed. Isaiah 53:5. and best of all, it costs you nothing because he paid it all. Come one, come all, come to the water and you don’t have to bring money (Isaiah 55:1). Just come and freely receive because He is resurrected so you can be resurrected in every area of your life. Nothing lost everything restored. John 6:39. That word “all” in John 6:39 means “all things” and all means all and that’s all that all means. Everything the devil took from you he knows he has to give it back and sevenfold plus according to your faith. Yes, The Resurrection will resurrect any good thing that is dead in your life. He said He came to give you life and that more abundantly nothing lacking, everything restored! I do not need to list all the possible things that need to be resurrected in your life because He will resurrect them all. 2 Corinthians 1:20 covers everything, it reads,“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” So, today, let the Resurrected One, resurrect that one thing, many things, or anything that needs to be resurrected in your life. He covered it all on the Cross, through His shed blood and His Resurrection. And remember, every day is Resurrection Day because of Jesus Christ!

Episode 10, “Empowering Faith”; Empowered Series on The Fruit of the Holy Spirit
Hello, this is Apostle Charles Wright and today we are going to discuss faith, the seventh fruit of the Spirit listed in Galatians 5:22. Now, according to the Book of Ephesians, Chapter 3, and verses 16 through 17, Paul made a statement in which CGM is in agreement. The statement in this book and verses of Ephesians, states, “I pray that out of his glorious riches, [referring to Jesus] that he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” Ephesians 3:16-17.
This is Episode 10, which is entitled, “Empowering Faith” from CGM’s Empowered Series on the Fruit of the Spirit. We will look at Jesus and His faith, how Jesus shared His faith, and how Jesus imparted faith to us. As always, we hope this episode will leave you empowered through a closer fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Apostle Stephanie will define and explore empowering faith which is great because faith comes from the rich, empowerment of God’s Christ by His Holy Spirit. Let’s go to our presentation.

We will provide contact information at the end of this episode if you would like to send comments or share your experiences with the Holy Spirit. We hope you will listen to Episode 7, from last week, “The Ultimate Sacrifice” if you have not already done so. We learned from that study that even though Jesus was 100% God, He was also 100% man and He needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, not only for His benefit but to let us know we need to be filled too. Today we will witness how the fruit of the Spirit was fully operational in Jesus when he emerged from his 40-day fast in the desert. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.

These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33.
Hello and welcome to Episode 3, in our series “Empowered.” This series is about being empowered by the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit as we continue the work that Christ started in the earth. Today’s podcast is entitled, “Be Not Afraid.” We encourage you to listen to the first two podcasts in this series because that is where we lay a good foundation for this series.
We are going to talk about how the Holy Spirit was sent from heaven to empower and embolden us against fear. We have seen so many things happening in the United States and in the world that could shake us up if we let it, but we are not going to be shaken up because we have confidence in God and His Word says we will not be shaken (Hebrews 12:27). Jesus said He would never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5) because the Holy Ghost would be sent from heaven and would abide with us forever. (John 14:16). We cannot do the work of God if we are walking around scared all the time. So, we are going to discuss how the Holy Ghost not only empowers us but emboldens us to do the work we have been called to do.
Before we get started, we have a few words of encouragement from a listener to share with you. One listener, Francine, wrote, “Hey Steph, can you add my friend, Lori, to your podcast contact list. She really enjoyed the last two episodes I forwarded to her.” Thank you, Francine, and, of course, the answer is “yes” to Francine’s request.

Charles George Missions Presents: Day 12–– “Christmas Prayers” CGM Christmas Podcast
It was Christmas morning and Rhonda couldn’t wait to see if she got the bridal doll she asked her mom for. She ran to the Christmas tree and looked for the gift with her name on it. There it was, she unwrapped the box and . . .
Hello and welcome to Day12, of CGMissions Christmas Podcast. Today’s podcast is dedicated especially to our children. It is entitled “Christmas Prayers.” We hope you are being encouraged by these podcasts. Stay to the end of today’s presentation to hear Christmas music and announcements.
Before we get to our Christmas memory share brought to us by Rhonda from Iowa, let’s hear a few scriptures.
Psalm 34:7 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Isaiah 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Now, let’s go to the true story of Rhonda and the Bridal Doll submitted by Rhonda from Iowa.
“We were very poor growing up, but happy. During that year I was about ten years old and bridal dolls were very popular and I wanted one sooooo bad I could just cry. Somehow at that age, I knew that mom could not afford a doll just for me and there were six other children that wanted things too. Still, I wanted it. As a 10-year‑old child, I knew about praying as I lived around the corner from [two well-known churches in the community] and just knew they prayed as sometime I, and a few of us would go to church there. So, I prayed, as a 10‑year‑old child with innocence of heart, I too prayed to God. And Christmas morning I got the bridal doll. As I look back on this, I now see this was the start of my prayer life with God. Sometimes things are not as clear when we are little but, as we grow, He (God) shows us his plan for us. Thank you, Lord, for showing me as a child THAT PRAYER CHANGES THINGS AND I AM NOW A PRAYER WARRIOR!!! (emphasis added by Rhonda).
Thank you, Rhonda. That is a beautiful Christmas memory about, not one, but three Christmas gifts we are going to talk about.

Hello and welcome to Day 11, of CGMissions Christmas Podcast. Today’s podcast is entitled “Don’t Let Anything Steal Your Christmas.” These podcasts are brought to encourage you as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. The theme of these podcasts is and the topic for today is not letting anything steal your Christmas. Stay with us.

We always start out with a submission from someone who shares their favorite Christmas memory or gift. But today, the memory share will be included in the message.
First, let’s go to our scriptures which also are tied in with the message.
Our first scripture is from Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” And because He is the Prince of Peace, Isaiah 54:17 tells us, “No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment we shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.”

“My favorite Christmas song is "I'll be home for Christmas." It makes me a little sad, but I still love it. In my twenty years on the mission field, I have been home maybe four times during the Christmas season.”
Thank you Cherilyn for submitting your email to us for this podcast.

Today we are going to look at the shepherds, the caretakers of the sheep, who were among the first to receive the good news of Jesus’ birth. We give special recognition today to the caretakers in our society – our health care workers, first responders, caretakers in the home, and all those who have been there in some way for those who are suffering during these challenging times. These are the modern‑day shepherds caring for the sheep.
Today, James McNear, a pastor, accomplished musician and composer, and founder of Macattack Records, will share his favorite Christmas memory and gift. CGM collaborated with Pastor McNear to produce CGM’s Christmas album, “We Love Christmas” selections of which we play on these podcasts.
The album “We Love Christmas” is a production of Charles George Missions and Macattack Productions and may be ordered on Apple Music, Amazon, Spotify and other platforms.
We close this podcast with the guitar instrumentals of James McNear and Gilbert Clay, Jr. playing “Little Drummer Boy.”

CGM Presents: The Christmas Podcast 2020
Hello and welcome to Day 1, of our Christmas podcast. The purpose of these short podcasts is to encourage you during this season. We are reminded at this time that Jesus loved us so much that he came to earth as a baby who became a man who not only died for our sins but came to give us new hope, every day. So, in these podcasts, we will share scriptures celebrating his birth, hear uplifting Christmas memories from various contributors, and listen to songs from our album “CGM We Love Christmas.” The motto of this Christmas podcast is, “Don’t Let Anything Steal Your Christmas.” We are serious about this now. Don’t you let anything steal your Christmas.
This first podcast will be about Jesus and why He decided to leave his heavenly throne, come to this earth as a baby, then the man who died for us. But first, we will share a Christmas memory from Beaux who was our very first contributor to the memory share project. Beaux was born in Heidelberg, Germany, and is presently living in Roanoke, Virginia. I think you will agree his Christmas story is the true definition of giving.

Hello and welcome to Episode 8, of the series “More Than Conquerors.” Today, Apostle Charles G. Wright will be asking you a very important question, “Who’s Your Daddy?” He will illustrate the answer to this question through a young boy named Yeshi whose friends don’t believe Yeshi knows who his real daddy is. Apostle Charles employs humor and a dash of ebonics in the conversations between these children to help us all understand, “Who’s Your Daddy?” Thanks for joining us. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.

Hello and thank you for joining us for this special episode of CGM Presents: "Honoring Our Veterans." In honor of Veteran's Day, we are sharing an interview with Apostle Charles G. Wright sponsored by The Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum and The Grout Museum of Waterloo, Iowa. This interview was conducted by Jane Meyer on January 29, 2011.
Apostle Wright is the recipient of the Bronze Star with the "V" Device and the Purple Heart for his heroism and for injuries he sustained while helping save the lives of others. Listen as he presents his accounts of war and the heartrending loss of his nephew, Xavier Johnson, whose body he escorted from Vietnam back to St. Louis, Missouri, for the memorial service. Although he did not have to, Apostle Charles returned to Vietnam to finish his duty of service. Despite all he encountered he ends this interview by saying he would do it again.

Hello, and thank you for joining us today for Episode 6, “He Protected the Rejected” in the series, "More Than Conquerors." Have you ever been on trial for committing a crime? What if you found out the prosecutor who charged you knew they did not have sufficient (or enough) evidence to convict you of the alleged crime. Even worse, you find out they charged you just to promote their agenda. That's what happened to the woman in our presentation today, she was facing death, but she was represented by one of the best attorneys who ever lived. This woman is the woman caught in the act of adultery and Jesus comes to her defense. She is "the rejected" and Jesus is the one who will protect her. Listen to today's podcast and find out more about this woman and how Jesus defended her. This is Stephanie Wright. Let's get started.

More Than Conquerors” Episode 5, “Overcoming the Fear of Rejection”
Hello and welcome to our series, “More Than Conquerors.” This series is about overcoming and conquering fear. Today’s Episode 5, is entitled, “Overcoming the Fear of Rejection.” One reason I am doing these episodes on rejection and its attendant fears is that I hate bullies. The devil is a bully who has used rejection since the beginning of time to intimidate, threaten, and hold people back from fulfilling their dreams or just enjoying the life that God wants them to live in abundance. So, if that describes you or someone you know, you need to listen to this and future episodes. I will share some of my personal experiences with overcoming rejection and hope others will share theirs. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.

More Than Conquerors” Episode 4: “A Woman to Die For” Subtitle: “Taking It All Back”
Kidnapped! She was taken from her home along with other women and children at the hands of the enemy. Her husband and his men returned to find not only their families and all their possessions gone, but their home burned to the ground. Today, we find out whether or not David, the future king of Israel, would go after his wife, Abigail. Was she a woman to die for? And would he take it all back, all his possessions, from his enemy? We will answer these questions in today’s episode and share another contemporary testimonial from someone who kept the enemy from taking his possessions by overcoming a fearmonger. My name is Stephanie Wright and this is Episode 4, of our series, “More Than Conquerors” Let’s get started.
“More Than Conquerors” Episode 3: “Wise Woman Conquers Warriors” Subtitle: “Fools, Fear, and Food”
He rode with 600 men, armed with the weapons of war prepared to kill his enemy. But he was intercepted by his enemy’s wife and her small entourage of servants. This woman completely disarmed and conquered this mighty warrior and his men. Her name is Abigail and the warrior is David, who would one day be King of Israel. Today, we will find out how Abigail overcame fear and conquered David in this episode of “More Than Conquerors.” My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.
Hello Everyone and welcome to Episode 3, of our series, “More Than Conquerors.” This series is about overcoming and conquering fear. Today we will have a brief review of past episodes, then we will start Episode 3, “Wise Woman Conquers Warriors” Subtitle: “Fools, Fear, and Food” based on 1 Samuel 25. I will also be sharing a personal experience I had with overcoming and conquering fear. We encourage you to listen to Episodes 1 and 2 of this series. In Episode 1, we interviewed Apostle Charles G. Wright and learned how he overcame and conquered his fears in war and received the Bronze Star with the “V” Device (for heroism) and the Purple Heart (for injuries he sustained in war). In Episode 2, we listed five points on how to overcome and conquer fear learned from Episode 1. We also studied the roots of fear and how it was the first emotion Adam and Eve experienced after they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We believe that is the reason fear is a favorite tool of the devil to try to intimidate us and why the topic of fear is so prevalent in the Bible. We also emphasized that God has not given us the spirit of fear but love, power and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7.
Welcome to the series, “More Than Conquerors,” where we are learning about overcoming and conquering fear. Today we will have a brief review of points learned on how to overcome and conquer fear from Episode 1, "Interview with a Warrior." We witnessed Apostle Charles G. Wright and his transformation into a war hero after overcoming fear on the battlefield. We encourage you to listen to Episode 1, if you have not already done so. Then we will start Episode 2, entitled “Stuck in the Mud” Subtitle: “Nailed It” coming from Judges 4. We will see how another man of war overcame his fear and emerged victorious in battle. His name was Barak who owed his success to God and two women, Judge Deborah and Jael. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s get started.
Series: “More Than A Conqueror”
Episode 1: “Conquering Fear” Subtitle: “Interview with a Warrior”
Thank you for joining us today in the new series, “More Than Conquerors.” I hinted in an earlier podcast that we would be discussing the topic of fear. We have now come to that time. We will, of course, look in‑depth at what the Bible says about fear and how we are already conquerors over fear. I believed it would be appropriate to start this series out with a true‑to‑life hero who has faced and conquered fear on the battlefield. That person is Charles G. Wright. Charles served in the United States Army from August 3, 1966, until August 2, 1968. He was an infantry medic. He served in Vietnam in 1967. He has received the Bronze Star with the “V” Device (for heroism) and the Purple Heart (for injuries he sustained in war), the Vietnam Service Campaign, and Campaign National Defense. After his service, he graduated from college, has since received his Masters in Practical Theology, is a father of two daughters and the grandfather of five. He has been ordained as an elder, bishop, and apostle. He is also my husband of 48 years. We will present only a portion of his experiences in today’s episode and will present other excerpts in future episodes. We invite you to share your account of how you overcame fear and became more than a conqueror. Email us cgmpresents@gmail.com
The impromptu interview which follows was conducted on October 2, 2020. We start with Charles at Wake Island, the stopover, on the way to Vietnam, reading about an attack on the barracks where he expects to be stationed the next day. Listen to his amazing transformation from his first night in Vietnam until his term of duty is completed.

**Thank you for joining us for the conclusion of our series on Queen Esther. We end this series the way we began, expounding on God’s favor and grace to Esther and Mordecai and to us. The title of today’s Episode 8, is, “The War, The Victory, and The Man” and the subtitle is, “The Wealth of the Wicked.” We will see God’s display of grace and favor as he blesses Esther and Mordecai with the wealth of the wicked, victory in warfare, and as he bestows honor and regal power on Mordecai. We will see that this same favor and grace are bestowed on us as we continue to trust, obey, and follow Him.

Episode 7 of our Queen Esther series is entitled, “A Tyrant Defeated” Subtitle: “Don’t Dig Ditches.” In today’s presentation, we will explore the following questions: How is a tyrant and tyranny ultimately defeated? How does fear play into success or failure? What price must sometimes be paid to defeat evil? What special tools does God give us to prevail over tyranny?
**Last week we left you with a challenge: Did you think about how to change your tomorrow? If so, thank you for taking the challenge. We also ended the episode with Haman being taken away to the second banquet Queen Esther planned at which only he and King Ahasuerus were guests. Haman had an opportunity to change his tomorrow before the second banquet. We find out today whether he changed his tomorrow for the better.

How to humiliate a tyrant could be the subtitle to today's presentation. Haman is forced to openly honor his enemy Mordecai on the king's orders. If Haman had ceased from hating Mordecai, he could have changed his tomorrow, today. In this presentation, we will learn how to change our tomorrow through humility, understanding how honoring others leads to blessings, how to deflect our enemy's attempt to curse us, and we will discuss how God's timing in blessing us is perfect. Thank you for joining us today. Stephanie Wright.

One thing. One thing. Today, in Episode 5 of Queen Esther, we are asking a very important question. What is that one thing that is holding you back from your blessings? Haman, who had blessings beyond what he deserved, could not see the blessings because he was so consumed with hatred for Mordecai. Today, we will look at the "One Thing" that led to Haman's demise. Thank you for joining us today.

“For such a time as this were you born.” With these words, Mordecai compelled Esther to make her first critical move to destroy Haman's plan to kill all the Jews living in Persia. Now, this Queen would be ready to risk her very life because she embraced the fact that she was born for this time. My name is Stephanie Wright. Thank you for joining us today as we learn that we too were born “for such a time as this.” Let's get started.
Victory over fear and standing up to a tyrant are among the subjects we will discuss in today’s presentation. We are introduced to one of the most evil men in Bible history (Haman), and one of the bravest, godly men (Mordecai) who refused to bow to evil but stood against it in obedience to God. Thank you for joining us today for Episode 3, in our Queen Esther series titled “Obedience or Obeisance.”
And remember you can always share your “Such a Time As This” experience with us or comment on this series at speakpipe.com/cgmpodcast. Let’s get started on today’s presentation.

Favored and highly favored. God's favor toward Esther compelled everyone in King Xerxes's palace to show Esther favor. This favor strategically positioned Esther to be the King's choice to become one of the most powerful queens in the history of Persia and the Jewish nation.

She was an orphan raised by her cousin and his wife. Little did she know that one day they would do something to change the trajectory of her life. She would become queen over a vast empire and would save the lives of her people who faced annihilation by one of the most evil tyrants in Bible history.

She was the enemy in the camp. A spy who conspired with the Israelites to destroy her city-Jericho. But she did it for the love of her family, not for her own selfish gain. Her name is Rahab, a prostitute through whose bloodline was descended Jesus, the Son of God. She was a bad girl transformed from harlot to hero and became known as a woman of faith in the New Testament. In this series, Bible Bad Girls Gone Good, we are expounding on truths and destroying myths about so-called bad girls of the Bible who, like Rahab, became godly women memorialized in Holy Scripture.

Married five times and still in search of peace, comfort, and security. Then she met a man who said He would be her Peace, He would be her Comforter and He would be her Provider. That man was Jesus and the woman was a Samaritan whom we know as the Woman at the Well. At one time, she was the object of scorn, but her scorn became her testimony, and those who heard her testimony became Believers in Jesus.
Today, we will expound on the truth and destroy another myth about a so-called bad girl of the Bible.

Then, there he was, Boaz, the one who promised to deliver her out of all her debt and he gave her something money could not buy.

Spirits that touch, thrills that vibrate the heart, and the cheating spouse are all things we touch upon today in our study from The Book of Ruth, Chapter 3.

This study is for women and men whether married or unmarried. Most of all, it is a passionate inquiry into our own relationship with the Lord and our love for Him.
