Deliverance—that is the connection between the Holy Spirit, the Passover, and the Resurrection.

Today, we present a message from Apostle Charles Wright delivered at St. Stephens COGIC in Virginia Beach, VA. He expounds on the Holy Spirit, the deliverance of the Israelites from slavery, and the deliverance from sin when we “Stand Up, Come Up and Get Up Under the Blood,” the title of today’s podcast.

“D” is for deliverance as we continue our study of the Holy Spirit from A to Z.

I’m Stephanie Wright, and it’s time to celebrate God’s Word.

Fifty years, a half-century, stay tuned as we share the significance of this time marker. My name is Stephanie Wright. This is Episode 6, “The Holy Spirit, Our Keeper.”

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"

"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."

Thank you for joining us today. Join us next time for another segment on the Holy Spirit as we "Stay into His Presence.
