Impact Christian Center
  Father God, in the name of Jesus I pray for our ministry, Impact Christian
Center in the Dayton area. I first of all want to thank you for the opportunity to
be apart of the vision of God birthed through the man of God, Pastor Antwan
Smith. I thank you, Lord, that he is filled with the knowledge of your will in all
wisdom and spiritual understanding. Pastor Smith is walking worthy of the
Lord, being fully pleasing unto you; being fruitful in every good work and
increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to
God's glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy. He shepherds
the flock of God which is among him; taking the oversight thereof, not by
constraint, but willingly, not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as
being lord over God’s heritage, but being an example unto the flock that when
the Chief Shepherd appears, he shall receive a crown of glory that does not
fade away. He preaches the word of God in season and out of season;
convincing, rebuking, and exhorting, with all longsuffering and teaching. I also
thank you, Lord, for the apostolic covering of Pastor Louis Kayatin and all of
the wisdom he imparts unto us as we pursue this great endeavor. Jesus said
in Matthew 16:18 that He will build his church and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it.  We stand in agreement with the Word of God and echo that
every strategy of the devil will fall to nothing in Jesus’ name. Christ is the head
of the body, which is the church: Who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the
dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For as the body is one,
and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, is one
body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
and have been made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member,
but many. So I thank you that Impact Christian Center is not one member, but
many. ICC is filled to overflowing with individuals who are hungry for the Word
of God; they are gifted, anointed, faithful, and full of the Holy Ghost. They are
not afraid to submit to governmental authority or support the ministry with their
time, tithe, and talent. These that are added shall continue in the apostles'
doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. You know
them that are yours, Oh God, and they are departing from iniquity so they can
be lively stones, being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up
spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. They shall show forth
your praises, for You have called them out of darkness into Your marvelous
light. I thank You Lord, that these core leaders are assembling and connecting
themselves to ICC; encouraging one another and being encouraged as we see
the Day approaching. Father God, I lastly want to thank You that Impact
Christian Center is a financially strong church that is overflowing with the favor
of God and man in Jesus’ name. We lack no good thing, but we have
abundance in whatever resource that we need to see this vision come to pass.
Thank You for supplying our needs and the needs of this church body
according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We give You all the praise,
honor, and glory for Your hand being with us and upon us. Our faith is not in
the wisdom of man, but in the power of God. Therefore, lead us and guide by
the Holy Spirit and we will be sure to follow in Jesus’ name, Amen.
