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.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

  You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will."  Ephesians 1:11    Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.                                                    Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father?  An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly,...
