Get Freedom Prayer
At times life can be hard; we all face disappointments, hurts, and hardships. Because we live in a fallen world, we live with the effects of our own sins and the sins of others, therefore we all experience hurt and wounds. These wounds leave emotional and mental scars on our souls. Unfortunately, time alone does not heal all wounds. We need God to heal our wounds; in order for him to do that we need to be willing to bring them to him.
We are all broken people, and we believe the local church should be the place where we can work out our pain and disappointments. We believe God loves to heal. He is not an angry, distant God who abandons us in our suffering; rather, if we seek him, he reveals the deeper aspect of who he is through our trials.
God has provided us with the tools that we need for wholeness and healing. We believe to find the fullness of God's intended freedom in our lives we need to understand what these tools are and apply them
FREEDOM MINISTRY PRAYER SESSION
We believe to find the fullness of God's freedom each of us needs to spend time in his presence seeking him to search our hearts, surrender pains, fears, and lies, and receive his grace in the broken places. You can do this in your own time with God and you can benefit from doing this during a Freedom Prayer Session with our Freedom Ministry Team Members.

Wednesday Night Prayer Service
Each week we gather at 7 p.m. for a time to connect with God and be refreshed and renewed through passionate worship, powerful intercession, answered prayers, and an unexplainable sense of God's presence.
Each Wednesday we gather together for a special time of worship and intercession. In Acts you will see that the early Church was constantly gathering together and devoting themselves to prayer, and we are following their lead. You can expect that we will press into a certain topic each week, such as children, marriage, healing, revival, Houston becoming a city of God, and so many more things.
This is a space for you to come and rest at the feet of Jesus. Whatever season of life you are walking through, our prayer service is where you will get a chance to re-focus your heart and mind on Christ.
Additionally, if you are seeking to receive prayer with one of our elders, there is an opportunity for prayer with an Elder starting at 6:30 p.m. at the front of the room. They would love to pray with you, whether you have a specific need or not.
The service begins at 7 p.m. and typically ends no later than 8:15 p.m. Children’s programming is available for children of all ages. See the tab labeled “children’s programming” for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prayer

In the Spirit. "Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication."-Eph 6:18. "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groaning too deep for words." -Romans 8:26

We pray in faith. "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." -Heb. 11:1 "For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God. You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows." -Job 22:26-27

Why do we pray?
Jesus modeled it. "But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray." -Luke 5:16
Out of obedience. "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." -Romans 12:12. "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving." -Col 4:2
To behold the beauty of the Lord. "One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple." -Ps 27:4
To be filled with the Holy Spirit. "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." -Romans 15:15

To know the thoughts of God. "But, as it is written,“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God." -1 Corin 2:9-12
