A Stand Alone Building and Equipment

Father God we come this morning Lord first recognizing You as God Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth and everything in and on it. We know You are why everything exists, Father we know you are Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End and we know that You can do anything but fail.

So Father as we are in the final week of our church fast we are continuing to believe that you are doing great things as a result of this fast Lord, and we focus our minds on You, as we meet each morning to pray. Lord, thank you for building the confidence of Your people to meet together and pray for Your Word says that the prayers of a righteous man avails much and that we are made righteous through the precious blood of Your one and only Son Jesus Christ.

We ask You Father, to cleanse us, to forgive us Lord for our sins so that these prayers would be a sweet smelling savor to Your nostrils and that You would respond to the needs of Your people God. We thank You that you are a prayer answering God. Lord Jesus told to ask what we will in His name and it shall be given unto us so Father God we call on You as Jehovah Jireh our Provider, and in the name of Jesus, we come into Your presence thanking You for the branch of Zion called Love Christian Center. The vision called forth and planted by You Lord. You have called us to be saints in Douglasville and around the world. As we lift our voices in one accord, we recognize that You are God and everything was made by and for You. Lord, you have placed the vision in Your leaders, you said ask and it shall be given, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto us and so now we asking you to bless like only You can we call into being those things that be not as though they were.

We thank You that we all speak the same thing: There is no division among us; we are perfectly joined together in the same mind. Grant unto us, Your representatives here, a boldness to speak Your Word, which You will confirm with signs following. We thank You that we have workmen in abundance and all manner of cunning people for every manner of work. Each department operates in the excellence of ministry and intercessions. We have in our church the ministry gifts for the edifying of this body till we all come into the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God unto a mature person. None of our people will be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine. We speak the truth in love.

We are a growing and witnessing body of believers becoming 150 strong. We have in Love Christian Center dedicated, faithful members on fire for You Lord. Father, because You are our Provider, we have every need met. Therefore, we meet the needs of people who come — spirit, soul, and body. We ask for the wisdom of God in meeting these needs.

You have placed many visions for ministry in the hearts of Your leaders, ministry that can only go forth in our own building. And You said owe no man but to love, so Father, we come this morning asking and thanking You for the debt-free ministry facilities that will more than meet the needs of the ministry You have called us to.

We profess the our church is prospering financially, that our members are tithing members because Father, Your Word states, “Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year....so that you may learn to revere the Lord Your God always”. We purpose to set aside the tithe because it belongs to You, O God our Father. It is our delight to bring all the tithes (the whole tenth of our income) into the storehouse, that there may be food in Your house.

Lord of hosts, in accordance with Your Word, we prove You now by paying You the tithe. You are opening the windows of heaven for us and pouring us out such a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Thank You, Father, for rebuking the devourer for our sakes; he shall not destroy the fruits of our ground, neither shall our vine drop its fruit before the time in the field. We praise You, Lord, for recording our names in Your book of remembrance of those who reverence and worshipfully fear You and who think on Your name so that we may be Yours in the day when You publicly recognize and openly declare us to be Your jewels (Your special possession, Your peculiar treasure). Thank You for bringing us out of the authority of darkness and translating us into the Kingdom of Your dear Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

So Father because our members give, we have more than enough to meet every situation; Lord we have more than enough for every vision, every goal and every ministry need. We have everything we need to carry out Your Great Commission and reach the Douglas County area for Jesus. We have everything we need to fulfil the vision you have placed in the heart of Love Christian Center.

You have given us the mission to lift up Jesus and win souls for the Kingdom of God, for Your Kingdom Lord. You have given us the vision to “Be a place where people come for enlightenment, encouragement and empowerment to advance and enhance the Kingdom of God.” Father you have given us the goals 1. To win lost souls for Christ through evangelism. 2. To biblically educate Christians through sound Scriptural teaching. and 3. To equip Christians spiritually, physically and financially through comprehensive coaching.

Lord we understand, there are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all. We know there are different kinds of service, but we serve the same Lord and that You oh God work in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. You given a spiritual gift to each of us so we can help each other, so we can fulfill the mission You have called us to.

We proclaim that we are a people of love as love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We thank You that the Word of God is living big in all of us and Jesus is Lord! We are a supernatural church, composed of supernatural people doing supernatural things, for we are laborers together with God. We thank You for Your presence among us, and we lift our hands and praise Your holy name!

For You are our God, You are our Lord, You are our Father, You are our Provider, You are our strength, You are our Strong Tower. We have placed all our trust in You God, we are totally and completely leaning and depending on You to provide what we need to carry out Your mission.

Father, we thank You that the entrance of Your words gives light. We thank You that Your Word, which You speak (and which we speak), is alive and full of power —making it active, operative, energizing, and effective.

We thank You, Father, that [You have given us a spirit] of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. We have Your power and ability and sufficiency, for You have qualified us and (making me to be fit and worthy and sufficient) as a minister and dispenser of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ].

In the name of Jesus, I walk out of the realm of failure into the arena of success, giving thanks to You, Father, for You have qualified and made me fit to share the portion that is the inheritance of the saints (God’s holy people) in the light. Father, You have delivered and drawn me to Yourself out of the control and the dominion of darkness (failure, doubt, and fear) and have transferred me into the Kingdom of the Son of Your love, in Whom there is good success [and freedom from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts].

We rejoice in Jesus Who has come that I might have life and have it more abundantly. Today I am a new creation, for I am (engrafted) in Christ, the Messiah. The old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! I forget those things that are behind me and reach forth unto those things that are before me. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Today I attend to the Word of God. I consent and submit to Your sayings, Father. Your words shall not depart from my sight; I will keep them in the midst of my heart. For they are life [success] to me, healing and health to all my flesh. I keep my heart with all vigilance, and, above all, that I guard; for out of it flow the springs of life. Today I will not let mercy and kindness and truth forsake me. I bind them about my neck; I write them upon the tablet of my heart. So therefore I will find favor, good understanding and high esteem in the sight [or judgment] of God and man.

Today my delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law I habitually meditate (ponder and study) by day and by night. Therefore I am like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth my fruit in my season; my leaf also shall not fade or wither, and everything I do shall prosper [and come to maturity]. Now thanks be to God, Who always causes me to triumph in Christ!
