We embrace the mandate that the Church must be an agent for change in the world. In addition to any activity or service that we perform, we must be a people of fervent prayer and humble fasting. No prayer; no power. Little prayer; little power. Much Prayer; Much Power! This is also the day of our congregational fast.  We wholeheartedly believe that fasting is a necessary part of the christian experience as we grow in faith and spiritual maturity.  Furthermore there are circumstances in our lives that make prayer coupled with fasting absolutely necessary.  Speak with Pastor Michael or Lady Michael for details on the fast. (Prayer: 2 Chronicles 20:1-13; Matthew 18:19-20; James 5:13-16 Fasting:  Matthew 17:20-21; Mark 9:28-29 )

2 Chronicles 7:14-16 (KJV)
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

Proverbs 3:5-8 New Living Translation (NLT)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. 8 Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.

James 1:5-7 (KJV)
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

1 John 5:13-15 (KJV)
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
