Pastor Frank leads a transformative session on the ACTS prayer model—Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication—at Living Word Community Church, emphasizing its power to deepen spiritual intimacy and renew one's prayer life. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and historical figures like Marcus Aurelius and John Wesley, he illustrates how this structured yet Spirit-led framework fosters spiritual growth, accountability, and divine connection. He encourages congregants to adopt a spiritual journal, use the ACTS pattern daily, and engage in deep meditation on Scripture through three reflective questions: What is God saying? What is He saying to me? What must I do? The message culminates in a call to live with intentionality, gratitude, and active faith, transforming prayer from ritual into a dynamic, life-changing encounter with God.
Use the ACTS prayer model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) as a daily spiritual discipline to deepen intimacy with God.
Keep a spiritual journal to track your spiritual journey, reflect on Scripture, and grow in self-examination and gratitude.
Practice meditation on Scripture using three questions: What is God saying? What is He saying to me? What must I do?
Confession is not a blanket statement but a detailed, Spirit-led examination of your thoughts, words, and actions.
Thanksgiving for answered prayers and blessings enlarges faith and opens the door to greater divine favor.

Welcome and Worship
The service opens with a warm welcome, congregational prayer, and a powerful worship session centered on loving God with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength. The congregation sings and praises God, setting a reverent tone for the evening.
Offering and Devotion
The congregation offers tithes and offerings, with a prayer of gratitude for God’s provision and sovereignty. The focus remains on worship and surrender, preparing the heart for deeper spiritual engagement.
Introducing the ACTS Prayer Pattern
“You're the culmination of your choices and decisions. The things you do most consistently. Everything from the food you put into your mouth... your financial situation... your way you're feeling emotionally... the way you're thinking—it all is a culmination of years of basically patterns that you have been practicing throughout your life.”
Adoration: Praising God
“The 150 Psalms are just great, they are great ways of learning how to worship. So when I come to adoration, one thing I do is I read, right now I'm reading one Psalm. And there have been times where I would read five Psalms.”
Confession: Examining the Heart
“If you're confused about in the Lord's Prayer, right? Forgive us our debts that we are to come and we just say to him, forgive us our sins. And then you're wondering, well... I thought we were already forgiven. Well, it's true. Like from a positional legal place, we have been forgiven, but we need to keep that conduit clean.”

“The two greatest ways to enlarge your faith begin to thank God for the prayers he's answering. And then again, be in the word because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”
“I'll tell you, they'll bring the Bible alive to you. So instead of, again, meditation is different than just simply study. You study and you may be studying the historical backgrounds... This is just, again, meditation. It's really about God speaking his word into your life.”
