In this Book the Prayer, Prophecy, Discipleship, and The Holy Spirit; is a basic Textbook style of simple studies of a beginning scholar entering into the deep waters of God's apostolic calling. It introduces you to the order in which God developed Apostle Curtis Marsh's calling, Character, and competency in Affirming his Office of the Apostle. Through his first two Chapters being about prayer he felt that God has charged him with prayer to be the Lifeline of his five fold apostolic gifts. He expresses how prayer can change your life situations as it did his. Therefore, quoted by Apostle Marsh, "knowing the will of God's word in prayer is part of the believers driving power as he petitions God." However, prayer, as stated by Apostle Marsh, "gives insight on matters and issues of the heart of God." Nevertheless, this book provides a comprehensive textbook-style view for those who do not have the ability or time to research and understand Biblical terminology, when it comes to text, content, and context of theological doctrine as well. The uniqueness of this book is to guide already trained lay leaders and potential laid leaders in an upscale fast track training and study guide text; to understanding the apostolic way of life. This is the life that Jesus Christ walked and lived in. This creates an atmosphere of Spiritual, physical and social well-being benefits for the lay members, as well as, the community they live in. This book is also, recommended by Apostle Marsh for colleges around the world to draw from the basic research and knowledge of simple modern day terminology. This book is not just for a particular group or audience. It has the ability to connect non -believers, as well as, a believer with a greater influence and regard for the Kingdom of God.

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
