     | 1,054 views

    In the last sermon we dealt with the two choices we have as Christians. That is, we can: • Walk in the flesh • Walk in the Spirit

    We also pointed out that the flesh is not sinful. The body in which we live is the temple of the Holy Spirit. HOW DO WE KNOW THESE BODIES ARE NOT SINFUL WITHIN THEMSELVES? Because this body in which we live is the same type of body in which Christ lived, and He was without sin. All sin resides ...read more

    What Makes Your Prayer Powerful? (Praying From The New Covenant 2) Series

    Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on May 6, 2023
     | 2,928 views

    What makes the believer’s prayer powerful is not the verboseness of the speech, not the gyration or energy or loudness in our voice, it’s not even the number of scriptures we quote when we pray. Paul says, “for I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation…”

    This is a continuation of the Praying From The New Covenant series. In my last message “Praying From Victory” as opposed to praying for victory, I mentioned that praying from victory is praying from the perspective of the finished work of Jesus on Calvary. And this is a perspective issue, it’s a ...read more
