❤️📖 FROM THE HEART | 09.01.2026 | If Words Have Power, Imagine What Prayer Can Do | Pastor Erton Köhler
In this episode From the Heart, Pastor Erton Köhler, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, shares something deeply personal about the one unchanging truth that sustains him in every circumstance: Prayer.
Prayer connects human weakness with divine strength. It transforms anxiety into confidence, restlessness into peace, and uncertainty into mission. From northern India’s Uttar Pradesh with over 200 million people, to the remote islands of the Maldives—prayer reaches where visas cannot go.
Pastor Köhler shares three principles of powerful prayer: pray with boldness, pray with persistence, and pray with dependence. He reminds us that every word spoken, tear, or sigh in faith is heard by God, who never forgets His children.
Your prayer may not immediately change the situation, but it will change you.
Watch now and pray with new courage.
