O poder da oração
A oração é o canal mais poderoso de comunicação com Deus. Através dela, milagres acontecem, montanhas são movidas e o impossível se torna possível.
Pedidos com fé
Jesus ensinou: pedi e recebereis. Tudo o que pedirmos em seu nome, crendo, Ele fará. A fé transforma a oração em poder.

Oração e milagres
A oração dos justos tem grande poder. Pedro orou e Dorcas ressuscitou. Jesus disse que certos demônios só se expulsam com jejum e oração.

Orar em todo tempo
A Bíblia nos exorta a orar sem cessar, com ações de graças e súplicas, revestidos da armadura espiritual. A oração traz paz sobrenatural.
