Let's join together on our knees and see God's power
Spiritual Beliefs
By E.C. Russell Pastor, First Assembly of God

2 Chron. 16:9 "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..."

The key to any revival is prayer. The New Testament church was birthed in a prayer meeting at Pentecost. We still need men and women who will get down on their knees and pray. Those people that are willing to humble themselves and be totally dependent on God are the ones that will make a difference in our world.

The world looks for beautiful, confident people to lead and entertain it. But God is looking for humble, Christ-dependent people who will love the world as He does. The Bible reveals to us that throughout history there has always been a handful of people who will reach out and touch God in faith through prayer. As we join them on our knees, we will see the power of God operate in our lives as they did. We will receive the vision and guidance we need to accomplish His will.

The first requirement in prayer is that we come close to God. The more we sit at His feet and look into His eyes, the more we become like Him. The more we become like Him, the more we start to love the people and things He loves - and hate what He hates. We will begin to see the world as He does - lost and dying.

Jackson is full of people without Christ, there are families breaking up and individuals caught in sin, there are still sick people that need to be healed, so many people that need a touch from God. We don't want to miss the opportunity to bring the power of God into the lives of the lost and hurting.

First Assembly is open each Wednesday beginning at 7 a.m. for prayer. You are invited to come anytime during the day. The church is located across the street from the National Guard Armory, 2410 Coffeeville Road, Jackson."
