By Dennis Baker


Everyone has the right to express ones religion may differ in the practices used and how they show their undying devotion but at some point they all lead to one common denominator and that is their strong faith as they share one holy God. In a world population, there are over four thousand two hundred religions all over the globe and to top it all Christianity got the most followers. Among the major religions under Christianity is the Las Vegas foursquare churches that can be seen just anywhere in Las Vegas.

Behind all the majestic building is the gifted lady named Aimee Semple McPherson who started it all. She is an American evangelist to be exact a miracle worker as a matter of fact she is what you call the messenger of God. Back then on the year of one thousand nine hundred eighteen exactly of August her prayers healed a lot of all hopelessly ill proven by the American Medical Association report.

She may be dead but the legacy she left remains alive and kicking to know there are two hundred thousand members alone in States what more is that more than 1.5 million are spreading all over the globe. The reason behind the tremendous followers of this religion is that their beliefs or rather their essence of faith has set them apart from other Christians.

Sadly, she died but little do they know death was just the beginning of new era for the foursquare church to reign. Imagine there are two hundred thousand members in America alone plus the continuing spread of greater number than 1.5 million devotees in all other countries. It is with no surprise that this church will be living with many followers as the coming years go because they have a strong foundation on their faith to their religion to the extent they are becoming more than any other religion there is.

The church have an image of a shield with four different characters within that signifies some symbolical meaning and these are the cross, chalice, dove and a crown. The cross tells that God have sent his only child for the salvation for humanity as what the chalice presents it says that you were once baptized for the dove well this means that he once freed you from the all the evil that surrounds you and lastly the crown a sign of what makes him the returning king.

The religion has also have its own practices and one of the many is the divine healing intervention through cleansing in order for salvation. The healing powers are accessed by the anointing of oil and of course the most powerful tool, the prayer. As what mentioned earlier, the founder was a healer to the extent she cured thousands with the use of faith healings which was attended by many people to witness.

What is common between the day of your very own birth and death is that you are granted with bounty of gifts which are faith, healing, miracles, wisdom, discernment, Interpretation, knowledge and tongues. One of those is highly practiced by the church and that is speaking with tongues which is included in the congregation experience of every Christian.

As of now the one that presides as the head of the church is Pastor Jack Hayford. They appoint designated local pastors in every area basing on the booklet of membership in foursquare church.
