The Pastor's Helper

Unity in prayer, authority in prayer, intensity in prayer, and expectancy in prayer lead to one thing – God’s power being manifested in the church and through His people. This is not complicated – they are God’s simple principles enacted for His glory, for His benefit, and for the salvation of the world which He loves. As Christian leaders it is our responsibility to not only be people of prayer, but to teach our people the proper way to pray, so that as a church, and as a kingdom, we will see incredible results.
