Most Christians kneel down to say their prayers. They are trying to be in touch with God. But if they are Christians, they know that what is prompting them to pray is also God on the inside. They also know the real knowledge of God comes through Christ, the Man who was God-that is standing beside them, helping them to pray. Excerpt from "It's Prayer Time!" Book
#GC2026 STRATEGIC PRAYER
#COUNTDOWN 73 DAYS APRIL 1- JUNE 12
Week 16 Affirmation ~ A worldview is not something you're born with. It grows and develops as you grow in knowledge and experience that corresponds with life. Knowledge that corresponds with your experience is accepted into your worldview. Knowledge that contradicts your experience or your current worldview is rejected. Experience and knowledge are two battlegrounds the enemy craves to possess, so keep your mind stayed on God and He will keep you in perfect peace. Strategic Prayer Book
