Responding To Unfulfilled Prayer Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Jun 8, 2021

Beloved in Christ, God has given us the authority (John1:12) to become his child, whereby, to exercise the authority: to pray and to live in the fulfillment of his plan. A child of God releases healing and other deliverances from his life by the authority given by God. That same God exercises his ...read more

A Next Generation Prayer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 17, 2021

Prayer Mode. Opportunities.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jul 18, 2021

Prayer Mode. Opportunities. Jeremiah 46:17. Living in a prayer mode means your spiritual antenna is up and your radar is on. In fact the Aramaic word for prayer is slotha, means to set a trap. Prayer helps us catch the opportunities God throws our way. My trap is loaded, is yours? Living in ...read more

We are told to occupy till Jesus comes, to put what God has given us to work, to make profitable divine ...read more
