End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Nov 17, 2020

Living a prayer life is as important as the effective prayer time we have with God. Prayer is more than a ritual, it is building a relationship with the most important being in the universe. That’s why this topic is important than all other prayer teachings.

What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more
