Prayer & Fasting
Importune Intercession
Prayer that refuses to quit is the most powerful force available to every believer, and most of us are barely scratching the surface. In this message, I teach on importune intercession: the kind of persistent, Spirit-fueled prayer that stands in the gap for the lost, the sick, and the broken until the answer breaks through.
Understanding War
Most Christians are living on the defensive, reacting to the enemy's attacks instead of advancing from a position of victory. In this powerful message, Pastor Willie Russell breaks down the spiritual warfare every believer is already in and equips you with five battle-tested principles to stop surviving and start winning.
Steps To Having Prayers Answered
Based on Mark 11:24, "Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them", Pastor Mirek Hufton challenges the common religious assumption that God sometimes simply says "no" to prayer, arguing instead that unanswered prayer is a word and faith issue, not a divine decision. Pastor Hufton walks through foundational…
Steps To Having Prayers Answered
Prayer isn't a passive hope, it's an active, faith-driven pursuit that produces real results. In this message, Pastor Mirek Hufton digs deep into the practical steps behind answered prayer, challenging the idea that God sometimes just says "no" and showing from Scripture that the Word of God in your heart is the engine that makes prayer work.
How To Receive Answered Prayer
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have as believers, but are we using it correctly?

Getting Results Through Prayer
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have, but are we using it effectively? In this message, I dig into what it actually takes to receive answered prayer, why specificity and faith matter more than we realize, and how the Word of God transforms the way we pray.
The Five Pillars of Effective Prayer Pt. 1
In this opening message of a new series, I dig into the first and most foundational pillar of effective prayer, knowing the person of God. If your prayer life feels weak, inconsistent, or discouraging, it may be because you haven't yet fully encountered who it is you're praying to. When you truly know God's character, prayer stops being a religious duty and…
The Power of Persevering Prayer
Prayer is not passive, it is a spiritual battle that requires fervency, persistence, and faith that refuses to quit. In this powerful message, Pastor Mirek Hufton unpacks the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18 and reveals why tenacity in prayer is the key to breaking through demonic resistance and seeing God's promises manifest in your life.
Fasting: Getting Serious with God
As Life Church launches its annual 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Pastor Mirek Hufton delivers a compelling case for why fasting is one of the most powerful, and most neglected, tools in the Christian life. Drawing from Joel 2:12, Pastor Hufton defines fasting as deliberately abstaining from food for spiritual purposes, a act of humility that weakens the…
Always Forward
In this message, Pastor Mirek Hufton challenges the congregation to stop drifting through life and instead pursue a singular, God-given purpose: knowing Jesus Christ more deeply than ever before. Drawing from Paul's consuming passion in Philippians, Pastor Hufton makes a critical distinction, we must be purpose-driven, not merely goal-driven. Goals can…
We Need To Reproof, Rebuke, and Exhort, Part 2
In this urgent message, Pastor Mirek Hufton sounds the alarm: the church is under increasing pressure to dilute biblical truth in order to appease culture. Drawing from Jude, 2 Timothy, and 2 Peter, he warns that false teachers, many operating inside the church, are systematically stripping Scripture of its authority to accommodate shifting cultural values.…
