Apostle Jim Raley

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

In "Beneficiaries," Pastor Kyle Shoots teaches from the parable of the prodigal son to show that we all receive blessings we did not earn, and that remembering the price paid for them changes how we live and worship. He shows how the Father ran to meet his son while he was still far off, and how God showed His love toward us while we were still sinners. This message calls the church to welcome prodigals home as co-beneficiaries rather than second-class sons and daughters, and reminds each of us that we are beneficiaries of...

Jesus will go out of His way to reach the one everybody else goes around, and He did it for a woman who had been rejected five times. He sat at her well, drank from her cup, and gave her dignity before He ever gave her the gospel. She came for water and left with living water, and her shame became the sermon that brought an entire city to Jesus. That same love is reaching for you, and what He redeems in you becomes the harvest He reaches through you. The fields are white already, and Heaven is waiting to...

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE God is not limited by the clock you have been watching, because He is the God of the Kairos, the appointed moments attached to His purpose and His plan. In this message from our Dream Big series, "It's Only a Matter of Time," we look at the wedding in Cana to learn how to recognize His presence, bring Him the need, listen for His Word, and obey it. Don't quit in chronos because you're waiting for Kairos, because in due season you shall reap and now is the accepted time. Scripture Reference: Matthew 16:3, Ephesians 5:15-17, Ecclesiastes 3:1, Galatians 4:4...

Most of us are waiting on better circumstances before we let ourselves dream again. Abram had every reason to wait. He had history, disappointment, conflict, and a long road back through ground he had already covered. God did not send him back to fix any of it. God told him to lift his eyes and look from the place where he was standing, and He gave him everything he could see. That is the invitation in this message. Whatever you set down, whatever you are protecting, whatever you think disqualifies you, God can speak over your life right where you...

Rosh Hashanah is not a history lesson but a set of faith formulas the Jewish people have carried for thousands of years, all pointing at one thing: a good, sweet, victorious year. Our calendar is winding down; God's calendar is just getting started, and tradition holds that Adam himself was formed on this day, so the God who formed a man out of dust can form something out of what looks like nothing in your life. Eight keys carry the year: it is not over, crown Him first and He crowns you back, believe for a sweet year, take your...

Solomon watched the wind and noticed something: it doesn't wander. It has courses. It has circuits. It returns again to its own paths. If natural wind has a course, then the wind of God has a course too. It's not blowing at random. It's mapping something. There are four points on this map, and they build on each other. One leads to the next. Mission. Assignment. Prosperity. Stewardship. M-A-P-S. The wind maps our lives. In this message we walk the whole map: 1. There is a Mission in the Wind (Acts 1:8) Mission is the "what." The wide, unchanging target God is...

Saved but still shackled? Pastor Jeremy Dunn brings a burden-driven message on exposing the patterns of sin and stepping into real freedom. Learn how temptation lures us through our appetites, why sin only takes root through agreement, and how to break its reign by fixing your gaze on Jesus. We don’t break sin by saying no to the devil. We break it by saying yes to Jesus

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE The wind can be blowing on your house right now, and you can still miss it. Part one asked what the wind does. This message asks the harder question: not what does the wind do, but are we moving with it? The God who forms the mountains is the God who creates the wind, and He uses that wind to tell you what is on His mind. Wind was never just weather in this Book. It has always been a carrier, and it remains one of the great emblems of the Holy Spirit. Three things are riding...

The same wind that was resisting us is now assisting us. In this message we look at three winds in Scripture: the east wind that split the Red Sea and buried Pharaoh's army behind Israel, the wind that carried quail into a wilderness camp when there was no harvest in the desert, and the rushing mighty wind that filled the upper room on the day of Pentecost. Deliverance was in the wind. Dispensation was in the wind. Dunamis was in the wind. If you have been rowing against a marriage that will not change, a body that will not heal...

Out of the same mouth comes both blessing and cursing. We have mastered the second and neglected the first. This message uncovers one of the most overlooked practices in all of Scripture: the literal, spoken blessing declared out loud over another person, on purpose.

Life is not a straight line. At some point, living it fully will require you to walk by faith, and faith does not wait for perfect conditions. Faith moves on a maybe. In 1 Samuel 14, Israel is pressed down in a low place: a trembling king, six hundred frightened men, and only two swords in the whole nation. But one young man got tired of living in bondage. Jonathan had no burning bush, no prophecy, no open vision. He had one revelation: nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few. And that was enough to move on. You...

Hours before the cross, Jesus told Peter that Satan had asked to sift the disciples as wheat. Peter swore he would never stumble, yet before the rooster crowed he denied Jesus three times and went out and wept bitterly. This message walks through foresight, insight, and hindsight to show that God saw it before it happened, He saw what you couldn't see in the middle, and He used it to prepare you for where you are going. Just because you are being sifted doesn't mean you are not seen. He wants to turn your sifting place into your shifting place. ...

The battle was never yours to fight. In this message we return to the moment Jehoshaphat stood before an enemy too big for him and discovered the name of the God who commands the armies of heaven. Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir had already crossed deep into Judah's own territory, and all Jehoshaphat had was an altar, a song, and a name to call on. He went to the altar, and then he sang. When the singers lifted their voice, the Lord set ambushes against the enemy, and Judah never had to swing a single blow. Yahweh Sabaoth is the...

In this message, "Authority That Takes Territory: In The Name Of Jesus," Pastor John Galloway opens Mark 1:21-28 to show us what happened when Jesus walked into the synagogue at Capernaum and taught with an authority the people had never heard before. When an unclean spirit cried out, Jesus spoke one command and the enemy had to bow. That same authority has been given to you. Pastor John reminds us that our most valuable possession is our knowledge of God, and that spiritual warfare is over what you believe and what you know about your God. Taking territory begins in...

David was not writing poetry from a palace. He was running for his life, barefoot on a mountain, his own son hunting him, his throne gone, his closest counselor defected. And right there in the valley he made the most audacious declaration a broken man could make: The Lord is my shepherd. Present tense. Right now. No matter what the mess looked like. In this message from Psalm 23, Apostle Jim Raley walks through the shepherd's care in the middle of the through. God did not design a detour, He designed a through, and the through is not a punishment or...

What if the proof you need for your next miracle is already in the boat? In Mark 6, after Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves and two fish, He told the disciples to gather every fragment left over. Twelve disciples. Twelve baskets. One each. They didn't go into the next storm empty. They went loaded with evidence of what God had just done. But when the wind turned against them, they panicked. The scraps were right there in the boat and they missed it. This message is for anyone in a season where you're doing everything right and things...

Every father is carrying something. The weight of provision. The pressure of protection. The battles nobody sees and the ones nobody talks about on Father's Day. In this powerful illustrated message, Apostle Raley takes us through the life of David, a man who was not perfect, but never stopped getting back up. Through four defining seasons of David's life, we discover what it really means to be a man after God's own heart and how every father can fight from a place of strength, endurance, and unshakeable praise. This message is for every father, every son, and every man still...

In this passionate sermon titled 'Shipwrecked and Shaken, but I Still Built a Fire,' the speaker draws inspiration from the Apostle Paul's journey through storms and shipwrecks, urging listeners to persevere through life's trials. With fervent encouragement, the sermon emphasizes the power of faith in adversity, encouraging believers to 'build a fire' of worship and resilience even when faced with challenges like betrayal, brokenness, and the 'snakes' that emerge during times of spiritual revival. The message encourages the congregation to shake off negativity, embrace their anointing, and trust in God's unwavering purpose for their lives, reminding them that their...

In "This Is My Door," Apostle Jim Raley continues the Aftershocks series with a powerful word from Acts 9:32-43. Acts 2 was the epicenter, and everything that follows is the aftershock still rumbling along the fault lines of Pentecost. This message takes us to two people most preachers treat as separate stories. A paralyzed man named Aeneas in Lydda and a beloved disciple named Dorcas in Joppa. One frozen. One dead. Two cities, two miracles, and one fault line running through both. Through their stories, Apostle Raley reminds us that frozen is not finished, that the same Pentecostal power still breaks...

What do you do when the pressure is telling you to be quiet? In this episode, Apostle Raley preaches from Acts 2 and Acts 4 and walks through what happened when the same people who were filled at Pentecost got threatened, arrested, and told to stop. They did not run. They ran straight back to the fault line and prayed the most dangerous prayer in the New Testament: shake us again. This word is for anyone feeling pressure to shrink back, anyone hungry for more of God, and anyone who has been mistaking distance from the shaking for spiritual maturity. The epicenter...

Every believer is becoming one of two things: driftwood, carried aimlessly by the currents of culture, offense, and emotion, or dynamite, an earthen vessel filled with the explosive supernatural power of God. Apostle Raley preached a powerful message, drawing from Acts 1:8, unpacking 5 reasons we desperately need the Holy Spirit: He is our Comforter and Advocate, He helps our weaknesses in prayer, He teaches and illuminates truth, He gives us miracle-working power, and He tames the one thing no human strength can control, the tongue. The promise of the Holy Spirit is not for a past generation but for every hungry...

Pastor Dawn preached a powerful message from 1 Samuel 1:1–20 titled A Divine Get Up: A Posture Shift That Changes Everything. Hannah's story did not begin with breakthrough. It began with years of sorrow, silence, and unanswered prayer. Year after year she showed up faithful, but bent under the weight of what she was carrying. Until one day, something shifted. She got up. In this message, Pastor Dawn unpacks what it means to move from dwelling in your problems to dwelling in God's presence. Through Hannah's posture shift at the altar, we discover that spiritual alignment opens what was closed, strengthens what wa...

You can look like you're winning and still be losing peace on the inside. In this episode, Apostle Raley preached a powerful message from 2 Kings 5 to position you for your miracle. Through the story of Naaman, a decorated commander with everything going for him except wholeness, Apostle Raley unpacks why God is not intimidated by your mess, why you can't buy what only grace can give, and what it really means to dip seven times. If you've been close to your breakthrough but stopped short, this one is for you. God still does Messy Miracles.

Christa Smith delivered a prophetic message declaring that we are a Josiah generation carrying the torch of revival! In 2 Chronicles 34:1-21, she identified the cry of Josiah as four main points: the cry of consecration, the cry of confrontation, the cry of conviction, and the cry of a calling. Listen to this message to recognize that you have been named, marked, and mandated by God!

Episode: The House That Heaven Hears and Hell Fears Series: My Church, My House God never intended for prayer to stay in the church building. He intended for prayer to get in the house. In this powerful message from Acts 12, Apostle Raley walks us into a real crisis. A real king. A real prison. A real church. And a real prayer meeting inside a real home. Herod had killed James. Peter was next. But while the enemy was scheming, a house was praying, and everything changed. You'll hear why the miracle didn't start in the prison. It started in the...

What would it look like if a home became a place where Heaven actually stayed? In this first message of our new series, My Church, My House, Pastor Jim Raley unpacks exactly what that looks like, what it costs, and what it produces. Through the story of a man named Obed-Edom, a man nobody else wanted the assignment, we see what happens when a household chooses to honor the presence of God. The blessing that followed was undeniable, comprehensive, and generational. You are not just a church attender. You are the church. And wherever you go, the church goes with...

Apostle Jim Raley brings you to the center of the Gospel through the cross, the tomb, and the table. The cross dealt with your sin, the empty tomb declares that death is defeated, and the table reveals there is a place prepared for you.

Have you ever felt left behind, forgotten, or stuck in a place you were never meant to live? In Carried to the Table, Apostle Jim Raley preaches a powerful message from 2 Samuel 9 reveals how Mephibosheth was broken, dropped, and hiding in Lo Debar, yet the King called him out, restored him, and gave him a permanent seat at the table. This is a right now word for anyone battling fear, anxiety, depression, or the weight of their past. Your condition does not cancel your calling. You may be damaged, but you are still chosen. Grace knows your address, and the...

In this powerful message, Apostle Jim Raley walks us through the story of Zacchaeus, the tax collector everyone had written off, yet God remembered his name. God does not see us as the world sees us. He does not remember our failures, but He never forgets the lost. When Jesus looked up and called Zacchaeus by name, everything changed. This is a message for anyone who has a felt overlooked, forgotten, or unworthy. God sees you. God remembers you. God is ready to bring His presence into your house, your heart, and your life. Come and experience unforgettable grace.

Apostle Jim Raley released a powerful Word from Heaven revealing where we are biblically in this moment of history. From Esther 4:14, we were reminded that we are not here by accident. Like Esther, we have been positioned for such a time as this. Even when God seems hidden, He is never absent. He is unmasking the enemy, overturning what was meant for destruction, and releasing divine reversal for His people! What the enemy meant for defeat, God is turning into victory. Heaven is still moving, and God is still turning the tables! Connect with Calvary Christian Center at calvaryfl.com

Apostle Jim Raley preached an encouraging message of favor from the book of Ruth. Elimelek and his wife, Naomi left Bethlehem, meaning "house of bread" because of a famine, and went to Moab, a place of idolatry. After the death of her husband and sons, Naomi's daughter in law, Ruth refused to go back to her gods in Moab and chose to follow Naomi to Bethlehem. Ruth's refusal to go back resulted in great favor, provision, and being completely redeemed.

Apostle Jim Raley brings a powerful message titled, Your Promise Has a Due Date: Pregnant with a Breakthrough. What was impossible in the natural for Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit. In the same way, we must first see God’s promise in the Spirit before we see it in the natural and declare in faith, just as Mary did in Luke 1:38, “...let it be according to Your word.”
