I pray every day that Freedom Church would continue to become a powerful church. A church lacking power isn’t an accurate picture of the character of God. Jesus didn’t come come to this earth, die, and rise again so that His church could limp along until His return.
God is fully capable of making the extraordinary ordinary. Leaders of every background, denomination, style, etc. are seeing God do what many had classified as impossible. How?
Here is something that I’ve come to realize: Vision is vital, but power comes through prayer.
Vision and strategy are important, but prayer produces the power that can shake a city, state, nation, and world. My tendency is to spend disproportionate time on vision and strategy – while praying that God blesses the “work” we have done.
I need to stop praying “for” the work and realize that prayer “is” the work.
