THE POWER

Of Prayer

 

Sincere prayer draws you closer to God. Regardless of how painful your “low places” may be, God still hears your prayers. God’s grace is your strength and His love for you is unconditional. Wait on the Lord! He has an appointed time to answer your prayers.


Daily Suggested Scripture

“PRIORITIZING WORSHIP”

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” John 4:23

 



GIVING

Online

 

 If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving -- large or small, it will be used to measure what is given back to you. 
(Luke 6:38, NLT).

Teaching verses: 4-6 {NKJV}
Text -  Acts 19:4-6
Title - Encountering And Experiencing The Holy Spirit

 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples
 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”

And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”

So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”

Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 
And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 

Now the men were about twelve in all.
