Prayer Partners

Prayer Partners

“Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20).”

I got introduced to the idea of Prayer Partners at an All- Night Prayer Service at the Holy Name Church of Jesus. After our Friday Night Service, they announced that some of the members of the church decided to spend the night at the church in prayer. As a teenager, I was fascinated by the idea that people were able to pray all night long. I heard of people dancing and partying all night, but I never imagined people praying for such a long time. I called my mom and asked if I could stay at the church and pray till daybreak. She never heard of such an idea either; therefore, she was suspicious and called the church. She confirmed with the pastor that all- night prayer was happening and permitted me to stay.

During All Night Prayer, we utilized many of the prayer postures that previously mentioned: bowing the head, kneeling, standing, and sitting. We prayed individually on our knees. We participated in corporate prayer in a circle, with each person taking a turn praying. We also prayed in pairs of two with a partner. Before we selected prayer partners, the pastor explained the power of agreement.

When you pray with another person, you join forces with them and multiply spiritual energy in a particular direction. The scripture supports the power of multiple persons and declares that one can chase a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to flight (Deuteronomy 32:30). Jesus taught that there is a great power on earth when two people come into agreement about one thing. God promised that if two agree concerning anything that our God would do it for us (Matthew 18:19). God honors unity and harmony so much that when two people from different backgrounds with unique perspectives come together as one, God promises to give them what they desire.

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
