A PRAYER CONNECTION
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.
Matthew 18:19-20 NLT
TODAY’S THOUGHT
Jesus teaches us a lot about prayer. One of the major lessons He gives is the power of praying together with other believers. We know that God is present everywhere all the time. But Jesus says there is a unique presence of God when “two or three gather together as my followers.”
When we come together with other believers, even in a small group of two or three, there is a unique presence of God with us. Maybe what is unique about it is that we become more aware of His presence. We sense His presence in a more personal way when we are with other believers.
This awareness of God’s presence should be a great faith builder. This awareness should prompt us to pray prayers with greater faith. Perhaps that is why Jesus is encouraging us to prayer in agreement with others.
In the Old Testament (Deuteronomy 32:30) we are told that one will put a thousand to flight but two can put 10,000 to flight. There is increased authority when we join with someone else in our prayers.
I would challenge every follower of Christ to have three to five other people that you pray with on a regular basis. I would think at least twice a month you should connect to pray for the needs you each have in your life. I believe you will begin to see greater miracles happening as God begins to answer prayers that you were afraid to ask on your on.
Remember, you don’t have to a spiritual giant and know all the Bible verses on prayer to pray. You can just talk to God and ask for what you need.
