He ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come the judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the Holy Christian Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen

Most Christians are under utilizing the power of prayer in their lives.  Prayer is our instant connection with the power of heaven. It’s our open line to the throne, and we’re told to come boldly to find grace to help in time of need.  Elisabeth Elliot said, “Prayer lays hold of God’s plan and becomes the link between His will and its accomplishment on earth.  Amazing things happen, and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the Holy Spirit’s prayer.”

Ladies- Are you looking for a Bible Study? You’re welcome to join one of these classes.
