In this message, Andrew calls the community to rekindle a God-centered life by rebuilding the inner altar of prayer and devotion so that attention, desire, and identity are reordered around intimacy with God rather than idols or self-reliance. Drawing from John 17, the Gospels, and the early church in Acts, the message emphasizes that prayer is not a supplemental discipline but the primary work through which dependence on the Father, alignment with His will, and spiritual power are formed, as modeled consistently by Jesus himself. A God-centered life is described as one shaped by what it beholds, where sustained prayer, waiting, and abiding cultivate transformation, clarity, and courage for obedience. The church is invited to recover this pattern through practices like communal prayer, the 24/7 prayer room, and resisting the pull of comfort, visibility, and human ambition in favor of being known in heaven. The ultimate vision presented is a people rooted in Christ, living from prayerful dependence, and carrying forward the ministry of Jesus with humility, authority, and hope.
