We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ baptizes believers in the Holy Spirit, in whom we are also sealed for the day of
redemption. The Holy Spirit regenerates, forever indwells, and graciously equips the Christian for godly living and
service. Subsequent to conversion, the Spirit desires to fill, empower and anoint believers for ministry and witness. We
also believe that signs and wonders, as well as all the gifts of the Spirit described in the New Testament, are operative
today and are designed to testify to the presence of the Kingdom and to empower and edify the Church to fulfill its calling
and mission.
(Matt. 3:11; Jn. 1:12–13, 3:1–15; Acts 4:29–30; Rom. 8:9, 12:3–8; 1 Cor. 12:12–13; 2 Cor. 1:21–22; Gal. 3:
1–5; Eph. 1:13–14, 5:18)

We believe that the one true God exists eternally in three persons—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and that these, being
one God, are equal in deity, power and glory. We believe that God not only created the world but also now upholds,
sustains, governs and providentially directs all that exists and that He will bring all things to their proper consummation in
Christ Jesus to the glory of His name.
(Ps. 104, 139; Matt. 10:29–31, 28:19; Acts 17:24–28; 2 Cor. 13:14; Eph. 1:9–12, 4:
4–6; Col. 1:16–17; Heb. 1:1–3; Rev. 1:4–6)

We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No ordinance, ritual, work or any other
activity on the part of man is required or accepted in order to be saved. This saving grace of God, through the power of
the Holy Spirit, also sanctifies us by enabling us to do what is pleasing in God's sight in order that we might be
progressively conformed to the image of Christ.
(Jn. 1:12–13, 6:37–44, 10:25–30; Acts 16:30–31; Rom. 3–4, 8:1–17, 31–
39, 10:8–10; Eph. 2:8–10; Phil. 2:12–13; Titus 3:3–7; 1 Jn. 1:7, 9)

Statement of Faith
Our Beliefs
Here at the Desert House of Prayer we come together in the Spirit of
Intercession to engage with God. To break into the heavens through
prophetic intercession and worship.

-Ephesians 3:10 To the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God
might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers
in the heavenly places.

Our goal is to raise up burning and shining lamps that we would be
wise virgins, having our lamps trimmed and ready for the coming of
the Lord.
(Matt 25: 1-13)
We believe it is essential to raise up forerunners for the end times.
Even as John the Baptist was a forerunner to prepare the way for the
first coming of the Lord, even so now the Lord is raising up
forerunners to prepare the way for His second coming.
(Matt 3:1-3; Mark 1:2-4; Isaiah 40:3-5)
