Pray For One Another

Sometime things go wrong because we fail to pray and we fail to pray for one another. If only we all really came together in the Body of Christ and recognized that there is great power in prayer. James 5:16 "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."  This is not just a saying, it's God's Word and it is true! Sometimes when you can't physically do anything for someone, the best thing you can do is pray for them. Our prayer is a very vital weapon in the Body of Christ. It's time we begin to use it.

We all too often fail in praying for one another. How many times do you hear people say,"I'll be praying for you." Quite often, right? Yes. But once that is said, the person usually, not all the time, goes off and forgets to pray for that person. That "I'll be praying for you." is one of the biggest lies we tell in the Body of Christ. And though it may not be intentional it still happens. When you say you'll be in prayer for someone, don't forget, make sure you get in touch with God on that persons behave.

Also, when we begin to pray for one another, God begins to move in whatever area of your life you need help in as well. God rewards those who pray and He rewards greatly. I can testify to that and so can many others. Don't just always focus on yourself in prayer (though that is important) but also remember those who God has placed in your life and on your heart. You never know, you may be the only person praying for them. And when you pray for someone, you don't have to tell everyone about it. Sometimes it's just nice to keep that persons name in your prayers without them even ever knowing.

By failing to pray for one another we sin against God. 1 Samuel 12:23"As for me, far be if from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you." It is an obligation that we in the Body of Christ, as God's holy, redeemed children pray for one another. Though God's children are all over the earth, when we begin to pray, it is as if we are altogether on one accord, united as brothers and sisters. Alone we are a voice but together we are a force. So don't just sit on the sidelines by yourself and pray either, join together with a fellow prayer warrior and get into the presence of God. Matthew 18:19-20"Again,I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for,it will be done for you by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

So pray for one another. People need to be prayed for. A lot of attacks from the enemy could be thwarted if we would only pray.2 Chronicles 7:14-15"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place." Pray and see God move. Pray and watch the heavenly angels move. Pray and see your life turn around. Pray and see miracles take place. Pray and be healed, delivered and set free. Pray always and pray for one another, without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

God Bless!
