Elim Prayer Retreat Abundant with Grace and Teachings

elim center

On February 4, 2017 Elim Center International held the one-day Elim Prayer Retreat in Kirkwood, NY. The program, held from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM, consisted of two lectures and two sessions of prayer: one as a group, and the other attendees meeting with Elim ministers individually for prayer. The highlight of the retreat was the second prayer session. In this session, all the attendees were divided into three teams consisting of Elim ministers from Kirkwood and New York City. 

The first lecture was delivered by Pastor Faith with the passage in John 4:24. The spiritual world is very vast and unlimited. It is possible to become lost or deceived by other spirits. Thus it is important that our focus is on loving God, loving our neighbors, and obedience to the word of God so that we can be protected. 

The second lecture was delivered by Pastor Zechariah with the passage focus on Romans 8:16-26. The lecture spoke about seeking the Spirit's guidance so that we can live fruitful lives. Though we may not know the spiritual meaning or recognize the Holy Spirit's nudges, but God is always together with us and speaking to us with groans. Often we forget the eternal spiritual world and focus on the physical and we become dull to the Spirit. 

Elim Boliva members who were visiting the Center led the praise. Their worship opened the blessings of the heaven, and led people to deeper prayer.

God’s Gift and Our Response: The Cycle of Grace, Gratitude, and Worship

The Christian faith is marked by a unique and profound rhythm: grace, gratitude, and praise. At the core of this faith lies the unmerited favor of God, a gift so freely given that it defies human understanding. Scripture declares, "For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace" (John 1:16, ESV). This

Called to Make Disciples in All Nations

In His Great Commission, Jesus commands us to make disciples-not simply to inspire a single moment of conversion but to lead others into a committed, lifelong walk with Him. As Reformed theologian R.C. Sproul wisely reminds us, "Jesus' lordship encompasses all of life."

The Power Within: Embracing the Holy Spirit's Work

In the journey of faith, we often find ourselves eagerly seeking to fulfill the Great Commission, to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth, just as Jesus commanded his disciples. However, in our fervor to carry out this mission, let us not overlook a crucial commandment given by our Lord Himself.
