Prayer is not just about personal blessing but about advancing God's kingdom. Pastor Rick DeBose teaches that 'whoever controls the altar controls the outcome,' meaning our prayers influence heaven. There are five altars of prayer: personal, core, community, miracle, and salvation. Praying 'in Jesus name' carries authority, access, assignment, and action—it's not just a ritual ending but a declaration of victory. As believers, we should approach prayer with expectancy, creating an atmosphere for miracles and breakthrough.
