PineView Church

At PineView, we believe that every member is called to a lifestyle of prayer. Each Believer's supply in prayer has value and is precious to God. When Believers together, seek the Lord through United Prayer, it brings the power of God on the scene in the lives of individuals and in the Church at large. It is our desire that every person find their place in the prayer life of our church, not only so they can be a blessing to others, but so they themselves can also be richly blessed and reap the eternal rewards.

“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men...Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving...Pray without ceasing...” (1 Timothy 2:1; Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17)

PRAYER OPPORTUNITIES

Rooms of Prayer -The Prayer Room is open prior to every service.

Tuesday Evening & Wednesday Morning Prayer is a larger venue of prayer for the PineView family. Here our Body joins together to create a symphony of prayer under the leadership of Carl Davis and other anointed prayer leaders.

Although prayer cannot be reduced to a formula, certain basic elements should be included in our communication with God: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication (ACTS).

A-Adoration

To adore God is to worship and praise Him, to honor and exalt Him in our heart and mind and with our lips.

C-Confession

When our discipline of prayer begins with adoration, the Holy Spirit has opportunity to reveal any sin in our life that needs to be confessed.

T-Thanksgiving

An attitude of thanksgiving to God, for who He is and for the benefits we enjoy because we belong to Him, enables us to recognize that He controls all things - not just the blessings, but the problems and adversities as well. As we approach God with a thankful heart, He becomes strong on our behalf.

S-Supplication

Supplication includes petition for our own needs and intercession for others. Pray that your inner person may be renewed, always sensitive to and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Pray for others - your spouse, your children, your parents, neighbors, and friends; our nation and those in authority over us. Pray for the salvation of souls, for a daily opportunity to introduce others to Christ and to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and for the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
