What I would like to see for the future

1. A church that prays together, stays together.

a. The early church prayed the church into existence

They prayed it thru resistance

b. "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."

(Acts 4:31, KJV)

Lord, what do you want to see at Living Word.

b. No matter what you face… no mater what is going on in your life, you are only ONE REVELATION away from having that the answer given for that which you prayed.

c. Jesus says if you ask anything in my name…. we might not always get what we asked for,,, but we are guaranteed a place where we get an audience with the father.

d. We had a dad in the shop who John noticed did not notice his daughter when she talked…. Even when she told him…. I love you an
