SHIFT TO PRAYING THE WORD

by | May 18, 2025 | Kingdom Culture

Welcome to VIVA SUNDAY at VIVA Church! We’re so glad you’re joining us in-person and online today as we dive into a powerful message from our Lead Pastor, Frank Seixas, in our Kingdom Culture series. Today’s message, titled “SHIFT TO PRAYING THE WORD”, is a call to transform the way we approach prayer by aligning ourselves with the power of Scripture. Pastor Frank will teach us how praying God’s Word can unlock the full potential of our prayer life and deepen our relationship with God.

In this message, we will explore how God’s Word is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12), and how, just like Jesus, we are called to pray with the authority of the Word. As we learn to pray the Word, we begin to speak the language of Heaven, tapping into divine power and aligning our hearts with God’s will. From building faith to warring in the Spirit, praying Scripture is a powerful tool that can change the way we pray and impact the world around us. Pastor Frank will encourage us to shift from weak, self-centered prayers to Word-filled prayers that are grounded in God’s promises.

As we enter into this season of growth, let’s commit to making praying the Word a daily part of our lives. Whether we’re seeking guidance, praying for others, or standing firm in faith, God’s Word is our weapon in the battle. Let’s embrace the call to wield the sword of the Spirit and pray with the same power that Jesus demonstrated. We pray that today’s message equips you to stand strong in prayer and builds your faith in new and powerful ways.

  • Pastor Frank Seixas

    I am Frank the co-lead Pastor and with my wife Chris are the founders of VIVA Church in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. I first came to Canada in 1987, following God’s call to permanently move from Brazil to Canada. In August 1992, I started VIVA Church. In January 1994, I married Chris, and in 1996, I graduated from the Nazarene Bible College of Canada. Later I was awarded Doctor of Divinity (DDiv) from Canada Christian College in 2022.

    With a vision to reach people for Jesus, VIVA Church has grown to become a positive influence for the Kingdom, not only in Oshawa but also by planting churches internationally in countries like Cambodia and Uganda. Beyond our work at the local church, I (Frank) serve the body of Christ on the boards of other ministries and churches, and I am part of the Apostolic Ministry of MFI-Canada. I also travel to speak at conferences and many churches around the world.

    Chris and I have dedicated more than 30 years to serving at VIVA Church, witnessing the salvation and growth of many. We have been blessed with two beautiful daughters: Leticia, our youngest, and Gabriella, our oldest, who is married to Matheus.
