The Prayer Palace Ministries holds these truths and many others to be precious and dear. Our purpose, however, in providing a web page is not for endless doctrinal disputes, but to be a place of ministry and healing for those in need. Christians have always had diversity in their theology and will continue to do so until the great return of the Master teacher himself.
ONE TRUE GOD – God has revealed Himself as the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of mankind. He is manifested as Triune God - Father, Son and Holy Ghost and that He is Sovereign and Absolute in His authority. (Genesis 1:1, Isaiah 43:11, and Matthew 28:19)
SCRIPTURES INSPIRED – The Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God. In them we find the final authority for all Christian faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST – The Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God who shares in the deity of God. He is also truly man who was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for sin and arose from the dead, ascended into heaven, and is now at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest and Advocate. (Matthew 1:23)
ORIGINAL SIN AND FALL OF MAN – Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost (Genesis 1-3). Only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and by His resurrection can man have grounds for justification and salvation. This salvation and spiritual life are obtained by regeneration through the work of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 3:23-26)
SALVATION BY FAITH – Man’s salvation and redemption (a free gift of grace from God) can only be obtained by exercising faith, not by works, and by the finished redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
We believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. (John 3:36; John 3:31-32; John 14:6)
THE NEW MAN IN CHRIST – If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (creation) in the inward man. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. We are partakers of His divine nature (2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 2:10 and 2 Peter 1:4)
BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT – The ministry and baptism of the Holy Spirit are to glorify Jesus Christ and to indwell, guide and empower believers for life and service. This baptism brings the gifts or enablements of the Holy Spirit and their uses to the forefront of the ministry of the body of Christ. This experience is distinct from and subsequent to the experience of the new birth and is evidenced by the initial physical sign of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance. (Acts 2:1-4)
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His people through tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge and wisdom, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, and healing. (Mark 16:15-18; Acts 5:16; 2 Cor 12:1-11)
DIVINE HEALING – The anointing work of Jesus Christ provides not only salvation but healing and prosperity for all believers. It is through His shed blood that we are saved, healed and set free from bondage and the forces of darkness. (Matthew 8:16-17; Romans 5:9-11; Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 12:11)
CHURCH – THE BODY OF CHRIST – The true Church is the composition of all those who have been born again. Through the new birth, believers are united together as the Body of Christ. Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church. (Ephesians 1:22-23)
We believe that every believer must have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, for apart from Him we can do nothing. Each person has a ministry from God that no one else can fill. We are to instruct, teach, exhort, and admonish believers in the ways of God. (John 15:1-5; Hebrews 13:5-6)
We believe that we are to wash and renew our minds daily by the Word of God.
We must learn His ways and exchange our way of thinking for His. We are to be conformed to the Kingdom of God by the moulding and shaping of His Hands. (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 4:23-29; Philippians 4:8)
We believe in worshipping the Lord in spirit, song, dance and with the raising of our hands. We believe that we are to praise and worship Him with our whole being. (Psalm 150:1-6; John 4:24)
We believe that in Godly living and the pursuit of a holy life should be the goal of every believer. (Hebrews 12:14; Philippians 3:14)
WATER BAPTISM – All who believe in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and have been born again are commanded to be immersed in water as a declaration that they identify with the death of Christ and have been raised with Him in newness of life. (Mark 16:16)
LORD’S SUPPER – A symbolic expression of our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ as well as a memorial of His suffering, death and prophesy of His Second Coming. (1 Corinthians 11:23-31)
THE BLESSED HOPE – The blessed hope of the Church is the resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and their translation (catching away to heaven) together with those who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Romans 11:27; Titus 2:13)
THE FINAL JUDGMENT – There will be a final judgment in which the wicked dead will be raised and judged according to their works. Whosoever’s name is not found written in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death. (Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20, 20:11-15, 21:8)
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:15-18)
