abba's house of prayer

Statement of Faith

1. We believe the Bible is the Inspired , Infallible written Word of God. It is the Supreme Authority and Instructional Manual for what we believe and how we are to live.

2. We believe that there is One Triune God; Abba the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit. All are Equal and Eternally Existent. God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.

3. We believe that our Lord Jesus Christ redeemed fallen man, offering a way for Salvation through; His virgin birth, His sinless life, His performed miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death, through His shed blood and resurrection. He has Ascended and is Enthroned in all Power, Authority and Majesty at the right hand of the Father. He will return at the Second Coming in all His Glory and Power.

4. We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit Indwells in man through circumcision of the heart; to Save, Guide, Instruct and Regenerate the believer in Godly living. This is Key for the Salvation of the Lost and to overcome the sinful nature of man.

5. We believe in two ordinances; Water Baptism and The Last Supper. All who repent and believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior are to be baptized. This act of submersion symbolizes the death and burial of the old sinful nature with a rebirth and resurrection of a New Being and Life in Christ.

6. Holy Communion ( The Last Supper ) is a memorial of Christ’s suffering and death. As the believer partakes in the table of the Lord, the bread ( his body ) and wine ( his blood ), he is made right with God, shares in the divine nature of eternal life and looks forward to Jesus’ second coming.

7. We believe in Unity and Equality for all the Saints, esteeming and serving one another with Humility, Compassion and Agape Love, under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Core Values

1. Abba Father is the Head of this House and ministry. We are building a " Living Throne" of Praise, Prayer, Worship and Intercession. It is to become continuous night and day; " to pray without ceasing" ( 24hrs./7days ). He hungers to mingle with his people. Abba will be enthroned in all His majesty, power and splendor. When His Glory comes down, it will fill the temple; then flow out like a river into the streets. ( 1Thes. 5:16, Rev. 7:15, 22:3-5, Ps. 108:5, Ps. 84:10-12, Ps. 113: 148-150 )

2. We are trusting Abba to provide all that is needed. We are committed to achieving our highest calling; to be salt and light; a Holy Priesthood built upon Kingdom principles, while exhibiting virtuous qualities ( love, forbearance, openness, transparency and unity ). We are to pierce the darkness in this area and commissioned to fulfill Abba’s will and redemptive purposes on earth ( Gal. 5:22-23, Ps. 91, Ps. 110:4. Ps. 125:1 ).

3. Integrity, Honesty, and Commitment are goals of this ministry. We will pursue Abba’s highest purposes in conduct, finances, resources, and missions. We seek to maintain accountability to these standards and expect others to do the same.

4. Quality verses Quantity is of utmost importance. Every believer will be encouraged in Biblical Principles, positive relationships, personal growth, and desires to become more Christ like. " Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Every participating believer will be respected, valued, treated as a integral part of this ministry and expected to be committed to it ( Gal.4:19, Ps. 37:4 )

5. Abba’s House of Prayer is a spiritual hub; a landing pad for the believer to be renewed, refreshed, and rejuvenated; and as a launching pad for them to be sent out into their Divine calling and destiny.

6. We will choose the best over the better. We desire Abba’s presence over his Devine gifts, blessings, and anointing. However we do highly value them. We are to seek Abba’s face humbly with a contrite heart so, that He can commune with us; taking us into deeper intimacy and to higher levels. We disagree with the dog eat dog, self promoting, self serving concepts that our society encourages. " The Lord resists the proud and gives grace to the lowly." Others may be edified as we seek to take the lowest place. Our lives will, then, be worthy of our calling. ( Mark 14: 3-9, James 4:6-10, Eph. 4:1-3, 1 Cor. 13 & 14 )

"I will Bless the Lord at all times. His Praise will always be on my lips"

Ps. 34:1

We invite you as we lift up Abba, who is so worthy of all our Praises, Honor, and Glory, to join with us in all He has planned for us in this incredible and fulfilling journey!
