Genesis 1:1 amp

In the beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.

We have a mighty and powerful God!  God planned this world and us in the beginning.  That means we are important to Him as a people and the church here on earth.  We are not forgotten, and we are not helpless. We are a powerful praying church, and we stand in the gap against the darkness.
