Prayer is touching Reality without seeking to get anything.
Michael B. Beckwith
In The Power of Prayer 6-week online course led by Rev. Carlton Teabout and a powerhouse team of teachers – Michael B. Beckwith, Akili Beckwith, Rev. Deborah L. Johnson, Rev. Suzi Lula, Rev. Jason Daveon Mitchell, Rev. Kim Stanwood Terranova and Rev. Victoria Thomas – you will be guided in Agape’s unique prayer technology, The Six-Step Affirmative Prayer process, and discover how and why this process works and develop an understanding and working knowledge of the key elements of prayer.
In a world erupting with change, do you feel heard?
Do you have something you can anchor into amidst the tides of transformation that empowers and sustains your sense of Self?
On the simplest and deepest levels, we all want to know that we are heard, felt, and seen.
The one constant is change, yes. And wouldn’t it be comforting to know that despite all that unfurls and unfolds around you, that you are still held, covered, protected, safe?
The truth is you can know this. You can live this. You can breathe this. You can experience this through The Power of Prayer.
As Rev. Michael teaches, prayer is the foundation of spiritual practice. In its simplest form and expression, prayer awakens your awareness of your Oneness with the Divine. It is the direct channel and line of communication that extends from you to the Heart-Mind of Spirit, of the Presence of the Living God.
Prayer is the first wireless form of communication.
Michael B. Beckwith
Prayer is an experience.
Prayer swings wide open the doors of opportunity. Prayer activates healing. Prayer minimizes feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, and soothes uncertainty.
More than anything, prayer restores you to a rightful awareness and understanding of who you are and your relationship to God. Prayer anchors the absolute truth of what IS!
Once you are fully aware of your relationship to Source, the Universe opens in ways beyond your imagination. That is the beauty of prayer. That is the mystery of prayer. That is the love of prayer. That is the joy of prayer. That is the peace of prayer.
That is The Power of Prayer.
