The Cry God Can't Ignore - Pastor Rhonda Davis

·51 min·3 clips

"I have a cry" becomes the sermon’s way of describing persistent prayer before God.

1. Church Of The Harvest | Sermon Podcast | Cleveland, TN presents Pastor Rhonda Davis on "The Cry God Can't Ignore" through Psalm 61:2-4. 2. Pastor Rhonda Davis leads the message as a preacher who reads from the New King James Version and links the text to the church series "first things first." 3. The sermon asks what it means to cry out to God when "my heart is overwhelmed" and to be led to "the rock that is higher than I." 4. Rhonda Davis opens with Psalm 61 and repeats the phrase "a place above our frustration" while praying for the congregation. 5. She then retells Dr. John Ogilvie’s flight from Kansas City to LAX, where a bomb threat was tied to descending below 5,000 feet. 6. The pilot’s choice to land in Denver at 5,280 feet becomes her picture of God giving people "a Denver" above danger and pressure. 7. The message moves to Luke 18:1-8 and the widow who keeps asking, "Grant me justice, judge," while the judge refuses for a while. 8. Rhonda Davis stresses that the judge had no fear of God and no regard for man, but he finally acted because the widow kept coming. 9. She uses the word "weary" from the Greek to describe relentless persistence and says the widow could not be brushed off. 10. The sermon contrasts that unjust judge with God, whom she calls the judge of the whole earth from Genesis 18:25. 11. Rhonda Davis says believers are not forsaken or forgotten and can approach God with "unapologetic confidence." 12. She quotes Proverbs 15:8 and says "the prayer of the upright is my delight," describing God as pleased by upright prayer. 13. The sermon brings in Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 7, Romans 8:32, and John 17 to argue that God hears repeated asking and keeps his promises. 14. Rhonda Davis says the enemy wants people to lose heart, stop praying, and move away from the throne of God. 15. She testifies about asking again for a relative’s healing in 2007 and seeing restoration through a doctor’s hand in 2008. 16. The message names prayer as a "cry," a groan, and incense, and connects it to Psalm 141:2 and Revelation 5. 17. Rhonda Davis uses a theatrical, call-and-response style, with repeated phrases like "say amen," "keep coming," and "someone give the Lord a shout of praise." 18. The tone mixes Scripture reading, storytelling, personal testimony, and extended exhortation around persistent prayer. 19. Best for listeners who want Bible-based teaching on prayer, justice, and perseverance. 20. Skip it if you want short, tightly edited sermons without extended repetition.
