WHAT WE DO
Stand and Sing
…We will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your Name and will cry out to you in our distress, and you will hear us and save us…
II Chronicles 20:9
Lift Up Our Hands
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name, I will lift up my hands. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you as a parched land.
Psalms 63:4; 134:2 and 143:6
Prophecy
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy…but everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement, and comfort.
I Corinthians 14:1,3
Gift of the Holy Spirit
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
I Corinthians 14:14-15 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord…”
Ephesians 5:19
Praying and Praising Aloud
When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.” Acts 4:24; Shout with joy to God…” Psalm 66:1; Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1; Shout for joy to the Lord…shout for joy before the Lord, the King. Psalm 98:4,6; Shout for joy to the Lord… Psalm 100:1
Healing
Is anyone of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.
James 5:14-15
