These Elements are:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Prayer<\/h2>\n<p>Prayer is the privilege of a believer, to talk to God. It is the mark of a right relationship with God. It involves adoration, confession, supplication, intercession, and thanksgiving. It requires:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A pure heart (Ps. 66:18-19) and a forgiving spirit (Mt. 6:14).<\/li>\n<li>Simplicity (Mt. 6:5-7).<\/li>\n<li>Humility and repentance (Luke 18:10-14).<\/li>\n<li>Intensity (Mt. 7:7-11).<\/li>\n<li>Confident expectation (Mk. 11:24).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>The Word of God<\/h2>\n<p>The Bible is the infallible word of God revealed to man. It reveals the plan of God for mankind\u2019s redemption, and expresses the will and the mind of God for His people. It is pure, perfect, and must not be altered (Ps. 19:7-8, Rev. 22:18-19). It is effectual, living and active (Is. 55:11, Heb. 4:12).<\/p>\n<p>It should be spoken faithfully and boldly (Jer. 23:28, Acts 4:29, 31), taught and obeyed (Acts 18:11, I Pet. 3:1, Luke 6:49), and handled accurately (2 Tim. 2:15).<\/p>\n<h2>Fellowship<\/h2>\n<p>God desires fellowship with his people (Heb. 10: 22-25). Through Fellowship we build and maintain strong relationships (Acts. 20: 38) that are critically important to a strong, unified ministry, as well as personal development in the life of every believer.<\/p>\n<h2>Faith<\/h2>\n<p>Faith is an essential part of the life of any believer:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Heb. 11:1).<\/li>\n<li>Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6).<\/li>\n<li>With faith all things are possible (Mar 9:23, Mat 17:20).<\/li>\n<li>Is a part of a believer&#8217;s daily life (Rom 1:17).<\/li>\n<li>Is needed to receive the Word of God (Hebrews 4:2).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The Mission of Faith To Face Ministries is aided by four principles upon which this ministry is established.
