Building His House of Prayer [Part 3] || Resurrecting a House of Prayer
Inspected, purchased, and now raised up
On Resurrection Sunday Jesus raised up YOU, as His House of Prayer!
What is a House of Prayer [Palal (H6419)]?
We are a House of Prayer
Jesus called His house a House of Prayer. We assemble to seek the heart of the Father and partner with Him in faith, inquiry, intercession, supplication, petition, lament, and thanksgiving. We contend for mercy, righteousness, healing, and justice, believing that God transforms lives, cities, and nations through a praying Church.
[Matthew 21:12-13, Isaiah 56:7, Mark 11:15-17, Luke 19:46, Acts 2:42, 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Ephesians 6:18, Colossians 4:2, James 5:16, Romans 12:12, Revelation 5:8]
