However, the risk of this utilitarian approach to human life is not just outside the church, but within those spaces as well.

This book is a pure inspiration from the Holy Spirit. I was preparing for a mother's day event we had in the ministry on Sunday 5/14/23 and as usual I didn't want it to be a drive-through event. I wanted God to make a lasting impact in the lives of these moms we intended to help with free diapers and wipes. So I was led to write a short prayer which they could use to prophesy destiny over their children. As I began to write, the Holy Spirit gave me more words and it kept flowing and flowing and I couldn't stop until I received the last sentence of this prayer handbook.
