Letters of Authority
When Jesus ascended to heaven, He expressed at least two promises of far-reaching significance: (1) He would build a Church and (2) He would give the Church authority to act in His name. He further made clear that the Holy Spirit’s coming would provide the power to accomplish these tasks.
As participants in His building process, we need to understand the authority the Spirit has brought us. “Whatsoever you ask in my name,” Jesus said, “the Father will do it for you.” And, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” (Matt. 28:18).
These credentials—the privilege of praying and operating in the name of Jesus—are letters of authority pressed into your hand by Christ the King.

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
