The Bible teaches that much which was recorded in the Old Testament served as a shadow of spiritual reality that would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  The Jewish Passover was one of those events.

That Passover pointed forward to the final Passover, realized in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God.  The Final Passover examines the events surrounding this Passover of Jesus Christ, and explores their tremendous significance to us today.

Pastor Dailey delivers a sermon on the subjects of time and eternity from a Scriptural view. Drawing on passages in Psalms 90 and 91, Pastor Dailey explains these topics from the differing perspectives of the eternal God and mortal man, highliting man's need to recognize the constraints of time in determining our eternal destiny. You may find this message both intimate (in its description of God's care for us) and stirring (in its passionate plea to "be ready").

As a rule, people love traditions. Traditions are fine so long as they don't contradict the Word of God. Jesus reprimanded the religious leaders of His day for adding religious requirements that made God's commandments of no effect. In this message, taken from Matthew chapter 15, Pastor Wayne Dailey brings out many good lessons that still apply to us today.

God's commandments are for a reason: to instruct us in the way of life and blessing, and to keep us from the way of pain and destruction. As a loving parent, God makes his children understand the importance of following His commandments and instructions to the letter. This message, preached from 1 Kings 13, shows what can happen if we take lightly God's instructions and do what seems right to us.

Psalm 103 encourages us to bless the Lord and forget not all His benefits.  Sister Dailey encourages us to consider some of the many benefits there are for those who love Him with all their hearts.

God daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19) — salvation, healing, and deliverance out of all our afflictions and troubles.  The list goes on and on . . . Also read the companion The Benefits of Loving God text version of this message.

The Book of Proverbs contains words that inspire and challenge us, and clearly show us right from wrong.  Taken to heart, they are life-changing: they show us the path of life and blessing, and keep us from the way of destruction.  Listen to this message Pastor Wayne Dailey preached on many of the verses found in Proverbs chapter 15.

Another message preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey out of the Book of Proverbs. This message focuses on verses found in chapters 10 and 11.

Have you ever questioned your motives for fasting? God's people sometimes lose sight of the necessity for practicing our religion, overlooking the purposes of His commandments. Isaiah 58 provides an example of people doing a good thing (fasting) for all the wrong reasons. Pastor Dailey teaches from this text and from personal experience on the importance to Christians of showing compassion for those under yokes of bondage and deprivation, emphasizing practical good works we can do to alleviate sufferings in others. By so doing we'll better understand God's perspective and invite His gracious rewards.

The priesthoods of Eli and Samuel are a picture of two camps that exist within the church world today.  One is not blessed; the other is.  This message looks at these men and clearly instructs us how to be in the camp that is blessed. Also read the companion Folly or Faithfulness? text version of this message.

From the Book of Jude comes an alarming warning to the Church of the subtle attack of ungodly and apostate men against God's people in the last days. These Scriptures describe in detail the character and conduct of these deceivers, comparing them to prominent examples in the Old Testament. Jude also exhorts true believers to contend earnestly for the true faith delivered to us by God's servants.

The Apostle Peter wrote inspired words to help Christians stand victoriously in the trials of faith. Pastor Dailey exhorts from 1 Peter Chapter 1 on the necessity and benefit of having our faith proven and strengthened. Among Peter's inspired thoughts in this passage are "suffering" - "endurance" - "rejoicing". To these Pastor Dailey adds "escape" and "victory" from other Bible text.

Drawing from the long dark days of Joseph, Moses, David and Sarah, as well as from his own journey with the Lord, Pastor Joe DiMinico exhorts believers to acknowledge and cherish the faithful presence of God through all our troubles. Through such experiences God strips us of our carnal selves and molds us to His will and plan, though we are often blind to His handiwork until He has completed it.

An encouraging message on God's faithfulness and provision — and our responsibilities — during the trials and tests that surely will come.

From the beginning of His ministry on earth, Jesus served as our perfect example in pleasing His Father in all that He did and said. The early events surrounding His water baptism and His temptations in the wilderness, and how Jesus mastered these situations, are the subject of this sermon. Of particular emphasis are:  the Father's pleasure in Jesus;   the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit rather than by human thought or strength; and,  using the Word of God to overcome the temptations hurled against us by the devil.

Have you ever come to a place where you're spinning? reeling? You can't understand why something has happened and it's shaken you to your core. You feel like somehow the Lord has misled you. You expected blessing and it hasn't happened. You expected victory and it hasn't come. And you're now disillusioned... Listen to this message to gain an answer from God's Word.

A sequel to the message, How to Handle Disillusionment (Part 1). This message delves into yet another issue that can cause us to become disillusioned, and provides biblical insight into how to overcome.

This inspiring message by Pastor Wayne Dailey, preached out of Romans chapter 8, addresses the most important thing God's people should be earnestly expecting and hoping for.  Our earnest expectation - the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and the redemption of our bodies - should dramatically alter our focus.  We must no longer see trials as problems that weigh us down, but as experiences that are preparing us for the fulfilling of that earnest expectation.

Paul's thorn in the flesh has too often been used to weaken people's faith in divine healing. In truth the passage in 1 Corinthians 12 is about pride and humility, about God's grace in Paul's life to preserve him from becoming exalted beyond reason. From Paul's experience we can learn that in our difficult circumstances, God's answer may not be deliverance from our troubles but His grace and strength to take us through them.

The Apostle Paul faced warfare from within and without in the Corinthian Church, a church he had established under the direction and power of God. He opposed heathen forces full of vain imaginations exalting themselves against the truth of Christ, and he confronted the opposition of pretenders who had infiltrated the church in his absence. Against such wickedness Paul fought to victory, relying on supernatural weapons of prayer, spiritual gifts and other manifestations of God. Paul's words and example can greatly encourage us in our efforts to do God's work, and to do it with God's methods.

A simple truth from the Word of God: "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5).  But how many of God's people live knowing deep in their hearts that God is with them at all times?  What a great difference that would make!  Let this message, anointed by the Holy Spirit, help drive this truth home to your heart.

A faith-building and instructive message based on 2 Peter 1:1-11, preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey.

Grace.  It's what you need.  It empowers you to be what God has called you to be and do what God has called you to do. You also need to be as wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. If you desire to live in God's will, listen to this inspiring and instructive message preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey.

Every sincere Christian wants to be in the center of God's perfect will. We see examples in God's Word of people who fulfilled God's perfect will, and of those who didn't. In this message, Pastor Wayne Dailey uses the example found in Genesis chapter 24 to give insights into finding and entering into God's perfect will for your life.

Preaching from Psalm 1, Sister Dailey expounds on the need for Christians to bear spiritual fruit unto God. Like a tree by a river, a Christian finds fruit as he abides in the water of God's Word.  To avoid the dangers of evil fruit, he must hear and obey God's Word, giving priority to spiritual endeavors.  As we abide in Him, we'll experience the fruit of the Spirit, bearing love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, meekness and temperance.

Psalm 103 encourages us to bless the Lord and forget not all His benefits.  Sister Dailey encourages us to consider some of the many benefits there are for those who love Him with all their hearts.

God daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19) — salvation, healing, and deliverance out of all our afflictions and troubles.  The list goes on and on . . . Also read the companion The Benefits of Loving God text version of this message.

1 Samuel 4:1-10 is an account of a miserable defeat for God's people by their enemy, the Philistines.  Three chapters later, in 1 Samuel 7:3-14, we see God's people win a glorious victory over the same enemy.  What made the difference?   It certainly wasn't God, for God always intends victory for His people.  This message addresses timeless issues of the heart that make the difference between defeat and victory for all of God's people.  The message also clarifies what it means to possess real faith versus false faith.

God's most glorious and crowning creation was man. Man was created in the image of God. God gave man a unique glory, but through sin man has turned that glory into shame. How often do men, even Christian men, disdain the glorious place God had intended for His creation!

Have you considered how your conduct may be turning the glory God meant for you into a shame before His presence? As you give your ear and heart to this series of anointed sermons, you may find the Holy Spirit enlightening your mind to areas of your life that dishonor God and hurt your relationship with your Creator. If you are searching for divine inspiration for a more godly life, listen to these revival sermons.

How Long Will You Turn My Glory into Shame? Part 1
How Long Will You Turn My Glory into Shame? Part 2

Joshua faced an enormous task when Moses died and left him to lead God's people. Moses had been such a great man of God, a leader anointed with supernatural power to work amazing signs and wonders. Now God had chosen Joshua to lead His people into the Promised Land. To prepare him, God spoke to Joshua words of courage, strength and obedience at the beginning of his ministry. This sermon examines the challenges Joshua faced and the instructions God gave him to equip him for the tasks ahead. From this Scriptural passage in Joshua chapter 1 we can glean precious wisdom to live a consecrated, fruitful and victorious life unto God.

A piercing message from 1st John 3 addressing the practical application of the love of God in the every-day life of a true Christian. How we respond to a brother's need will reflect the condition of our hearts, the extent to which God's love has entered our lives, and whether we have truly passed from death unto life. If you will receive this message, you may find help to open your heart to a fuller manifestation in your life of God's love in action.

After being asked by several people what it means to surrender to God, Pastor Judy DiZazzo took their question to prayer.  One morning, as she awoke, she received from the Lord this message, What Does it Mean to Surrender?    She received it in the form of an acrostic, corresponding to the letters "S," "U," "R," "R," "E," "N," "D," "E," "R."  This message takes each of those letters and expounds different aspects of surrender to God.

This message, by Pastor Wayne Dailey, will inspire your faith to reach out to receive a miracle from God and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prepare your heart for an inspiring boost to your faith as you listen to Pastor Dailey preach on the ministry of Jesus Christ to people of great faith.  You'll marvel at the examples of the Roman centurion, the Syrophoenician woman, and the four who let down their needy friend through the roof to reach Jesus.  And you'll be encouraged to reach out and hold on with an on-going, active faith that God will honor and reward.

God is faithful to give us what we need to be able to believe Him, to have faith in what He has spoken. God visited Gideon as he faced the enemy just before the battle; Jesus gave Thomas the experience he needed to believe that He was resurrected. Faith enables us to stand firm against temptations to run away or to abandon God's will for our lives. Often God speaks through His prophets well in advance, sometimes years and even centuries, to prepare His people and to testify of His power of foreknowledge. This sermon will help us embrace God's promises with fervent faith and to wait steadfastly for their realization.

Can we really limit God?  Psalms 78:41 answers that question with a definite, "Yes"!   This message explores six ways described in scripture in which we could limit God.  It then offers a scriptural antidote, citing examples in both the Old and New Testament of people who did not limit God and who enjoyed the blessings that resulted.

This message looks at the far-reaching promise God made to Abraham . . . a promise so monumental and far-reaching it's still being fulfilled today, thousands of years later.

Some promises God makes to us are monumental and far-reaching as well.  We need a real faith to hold on to them, because it may be years before we see some of those promises fulfilled.  Let this message challenge you to believe God — knowing that above all things He is faithful Who has promised.

Preaching from 3rd John 2 and from numerous testimonies in his early ministry, Pastor Dailey exhorts the church to reach out with faith to God for His supernatural power to help in meeting our spiritual, financial and health needs. It is important to highly esteem God's provisions far above the means of the world, lest we allow His power in our daily lives to be lost. Listen to this sermon if you desire to build up your faith!

We may be confronted with situations that not only want a miracle, but truly require a miracle. But what do we need to obtain that necessary miracle? For the widow of Zarephath about to eat her last meal with her son, God required that she take a small step of faith and obedience. Because she did, God fed her many days in the midst of a great famine. The lesson for us: trust God and obey His prophet.

A Good Friday message preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey that looks at the passion of Christ and what it means to us.

Jesus said that rivers of living water would flow out from all who believe in Him. Are they flowing out of you to a lost and dying world, or do you feel you need more of those rivers of life for yourself? If you find you're lacking, or needing encouragement to let those living waters flow, listen to this message preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey.

Pastor Dailey begins this sermon with an exhortation to separate ourselves in prayer with a commitment to seeking God to know His mind. He also preaches on the necessity of holding our faith to the things God has directed. The major part of this message describes a series of supernatural visions the Lord gave Pastor Dailey over a span of more than 30 years, particularly emphasizing a visitation in 1992 which revealed a beautiful tree full of blossoms ready to bear fruit. Pastor Dailey relates this vision to others he has received before, explaining their significance together in revealing God's mind and purpose for a great revival promised for our times.

This is an exhortation, by way of several real examples, to anyone seeking to get prepared to obey God's call to the ministry. Pastor Dailey addresses a group of young people considering attending a Bible School, encouraging them to forsake vain and unrealistic fantasies of "going it alone," and pointing them to an appreciation for good, godly training through teachers appointed of God to that purpose. You will also hear a short personal testimony from Pastor Dailey describing the work of God in calling and training him for the ministry.

Follow the Apostle Paul on his last recorded journey to Jerusalem, and consider soberly his words reflecting his commitment to the cause Christ gave him to fulfill. Not even true prophetic warnings of suffering and death could sway Paul away from his service to his Master. This is a sober, meaty message to mature Christians.

In II Timothy 4 the Apostle Paul solemnly charged Timothy to preach God's Word faithfully. That charge is just as relevant today to exhort every preacher who wants to remain faithful to his calling. Pastor Dailey encourages preachers to be true to God's calling despite hardships, afflictions and persecutions. This message will also help all Christians to better appreciate the spiritual desires and struggles of a godly minister.

What is the value to God of one soul? Jesus gave us three stories in Luke 15 to illustrate how dear to Him are the lives of men lost in their sins. This message should speak to three audiences: Pharisaic critics of soul-winning efforts; lost sinners needing repentance and salvation; and Christians who want a deeper concern for the lost. The underlying truth in these stories is the great love of God for sinners.

Preaching from 2nd Peter 3, Pastor Dailey exhorts sincere Christians to the urgent task of seeking that the Gospel light shine out of our lives. Scoffers will heighten their attack on the Scriptures and on the promise of Christ's return. They don't understand that His supposed "slackness" is His mercy to those yet lost and our opportunity to reach out still to them. As sin and gross darkness covers the earth, God warns of His judgments looming over the whole creation, and appeals to us to work all the more in these closing days for the love of those yet to be saved.

The Bible teaches that much which was recorded in the Old Testament served as a shadow of spiritual reality that would be fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  The Jewish Passover was one of those events.

That Passover pointed forward to the final Passover, realized in Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God.  The Final Passover examines the events surrounding this Passover of Jesus Christ, and explores their tremendous significance to us today.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been many things to different people. For many, the Gospel is a foolish story to be disdained. For others, it is a shameful thing for weaklings. But in God's perspective, the Gospel is His wisdom to redeem sinful men to Himself, His power unto salvation. Each man must make a choice as to how he will esteem and respond to this Gospel. This sermon exhorts every soul to shun the sin-darkened values of the world and to embrace the Gospel's message of grace and salvation.

The passage in Matthew 6 commonly known as "The Lord's Prayer" is the text for the radio broadcast reproduced here. Of particular empahsis in this broadcast is the necessity of forgiveness, ours from God and ours toward our neighbors. You will also see the self-righteous Pharisee of Luke 18 as an example of someone who would clamor for justice rather than plead for mercy.

At a low point in Israel's history when God was so displeased with its backslidings, He recalled a prior time when He had been so pleased with the earnest desire of the people toward Him. That was the generation of young people in the wilderness that Moses trained to serve God, a great congregation whose holiness enabled them as a great army to conquer the Promised Land. This sermon compares the two generations, and exhorts us to go after God in our day with the same earnest spiritual desires that so pleased God thousands of years ago. Also read the companion Going After God text version of this message.

Listen to a sermon filled with stirring real-life accounts of people who reached out to God with prayers of faith and experienced supernatural answers. This message will build your faith in God and encourage you to "believe when you pray." Whether your needs are physical, mental or spiritual, in your heart or in your family, you are likely to hear a true story that relates to your situation.

In the parable of the unjust judge found in Luke 18, Jesus taught us the importance of persistent prayer. Sister Dailey opens with this text to exhort believers to develop faithful and fruitful habits of daily prayer. She also expounds from two powerful accounts in the Book of Acts: God's supernatural intervention for Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail as they prayed and sang; and Peter's miraculous deliverance from jail as the church prayed for him. Whether it be of one, of two, or of a whole church, prayer brings down the power of God.

The Parable of the Unjust Judge in Luke 18 provides the text for this sermon on prayer as the anchor for our lives during troublesome times. The message of Jesus in this passage is that we maintain our faith through praying always. And He wonders aloud whether He will find anyone standing for Him when He returns: will He find any faith? Brother Dailey rehearses some sobering facts from recent history to provoke us to prepare our souls for times when we must know how to pray and not to faint, having a firm anchor in life.

God loves His people, ever desiring to restore and revive them. Before restoration can occur, hindrances must be pointed out and removed. Unbelief and idolatry have been high on the list of hindrances to God's people throughout the ages. Learn some important lessons from this message preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey.

A message preached by Pastor Wayne Dailey on Isaiah 48:9-15. This passage of scripture exalts God's glory and reveals Jesus Christ, God's Son. Pastor Dailey brings out God's divine purpose ever to restore His people and exhorts us to live righteously.

One day, Jesus took three of his disciples with Him up into a high mountain. There, He was transfigured before them, changed into a glorified form. Two great men of old, Moses and Elijah, also appeared to them and talked with Jesus. God had a message for those disciples that day, a message we need to heed as well. In this sermon, Pastor Wayne Dailey brings out several important truths we can learn from this passage of scripture.

Why does God perform signs, wonders and miracles?  John 11:4 says it best: they're "for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby."  God certainly works miracles and heals because of His great love for us. However, He primarily does these things to bring glory to Himself and to His Son, Jesus Christ.  Listen to this message by Pastor Wayne Dailey, taken from the account in John chapter 11 in which Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.

Pentecost Sunday has been special to the Bethel congregation for many years, and this Pentecost service will dwell long in the hearts of those in attendance.  Pastor Dailey shares the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit in his early years, describes with Spirit-filled passion the vision for revival that God placed in his heart,  and challenges the church to a great work for Christ in these closing evil days. Near the end of the service God speaks prophetically a deeply moving message about His feelings concerning conditions today and His purposes.  Through this sermon you will understand intimately the calling and vision of this ministry.

Pastor Dailey begins this sermon with an exhortation to separate ourselves in prayer with a commitment to seeking God to know His mind. He also preaches on the necessity of holding our faith to the things God has directed. The major part of this message describes a series of supernatural visions the Lord gave Pastor Dailey over a span of more than 30 years, particularly emphasizing a visitation in 1992 which revealed a beautiful tree full of blossoms ready to bear fruit. Pastor Dailey relates this vision to others he has received before, explaining their significance together in revealing God's mind and purpose for a great revival promised for our times.

The Body of Christ is meant to be a live, active, functioning organism, drawing strength from its many members as they work together under the Headship of Christ. Each member provides a vital service to the Body when he finds his place and his gifts from God. It is in the functioning of these gifts (spiritual gifts of the Holy Ghost, and ministerial gifts of Christ) that each member fulfills God's plan, and that the Body of Christ reaches toward the fulness of God's plan. This sermon will inspire you to seek out your place of Spirit-led fruitfulness.

Walking on water; feeding multitudes with just a few loaves; raising a dead man from the grave; opening the eyes of a man born blind. These and many other great miracles Jesus performed in the few years of His earthly ministry. Why are these great works still worthy of our attention? To marvel at them is to have our attention drawn to God's great glory and power, and to strengthen our faith so that we can be victorious against the many challenges in life.

Pastor Dailey delivers a sermon concerning the necessity and the blessing of having God work with us in the preaching of the Gospel.  We must have a deep hunger and thirst for God's power to see the operation of the Holy Spirit in our lives like we read about in the early church of the Bible, and like Jesus promised us ("greater works").  We should also recognize that it is the Father's desire to make us fruitful in the great revival He has promised us.

Peter and John at the Gate Beautiful of the temple (in Acts 3) exemplify what Spirit-filled believers should possess: a quickening message, the Spirit of God, spiritual gifts, the supernatural power of God, and the mighty name of Jesus. The result was that the anointing of God broke the yoke of bondage in a needy soul, and the name of Christ was glorified among the people.

A nation which once served and honored God has turned far from Him.  Its religious leaders are hard and arrogant, its authorities violent and corrupt, and the common man proudly claims a godly inheritance while flaunting his ungodly ways.  What can God do with such a people?  Will He send judgment?  Yes, He will, soon.  But first He sent John the Baptist to preach repentance to a generation of vipers, to prepare a people, those  that would hear, for the coming of the Lord.  John's was a timeless message, and a message you may find appropriate today.

One of the great revivals described in the Scriptures occurred when one man with a heart for God rose up with courage and purpose to inspire God's people to return to God. Young King Hezekiah was that man that God used to lead His people to a spiritual restoration. Perhaps this sermon will do for you what Hezekiah's words accomplished in the people of Judah.

At a low point in Israel's history when God was so displeased with its backslidings, He recalled a prior time when He had been so pleased with the earnest desire of the people toward Him. That was the generation of young people in the wilderness that Moses trained to serve God, a great congregation whose holiness enabled them as a great army to conquer the Promised Land. This sermon compares the two generations, and exhorts us to go after God in our day with the same earnest spiritual desires that so pleased God thousands of years ago.

This is a detailed 15 message, 15-hour study, in the Holy Scriptures on the subject of a great apostasy in the Church of the last days, and what we must do to prepare ourselves to escape the approaching calamaties. Based on a supernatural vision Pastor Dailey received in 1979, these audio sermons were first broadcast on the radio in 1982. As you listen, you may be surprised to see explanations from many years ago for the grave problems besetting the church today, and alarmed to realize that even greater turmoil is approaching. These messages give not only warnings but also godly counsel to prepare us for the future.

From the Book of Jude comes an alarming warning to the Church of the subtle attack of ungodly and apostate men against God's people in the last days. These Scriptures describe in detail the character and conduct of these deceivers, comparing them to prominent examples in the Old Testament. Jude also exhorts true believers to contend earnestly for the true faith delivered to us by God's servants.

Preaching from Isaiah Chapter 13, Pastor Dailey emphasizes two great truths about the coming Day of the Lord: it will be a time of unprecedented judgment upon the whole earth, and it will be the time of redemption and escape for the Church of Christ. For the faithful servants of God there will be a glorious translation from a sin-filled world to an eternal heavenly reward. But for the world left behind, calamaties and disasters never before witnessed on the earth will prevail. Men's hearts will melt at the unmistakeable signs in the heavens and on earth. Among such signs will be the planet earth's faltering from her heavenly orbit, and the darkening of the sun. These prophetic descriptions should strengthen every Christian's resolve to be ready for the Master's coming!

Preaching from 2nd Peter 3, Pastor Dailey exhorts sincere Christians to the urgent task of seeking that the Gospel light shine out of our lives. Scoffers will heighten their attack on the Scriptures and on the promise of Christ's return. They don't understand that His supposed "slackness" is His mercy to those yet lost and our opportunity to reach out still to them. As sin and gross darkness covers the earth, God warns of His judgments looming over the whole creation, and appeals to us to work all the more in these closing days for the love of those yet to be saved.
