When We Pray Together
Together with kindness and in understanding, let’s take this time to self reflect. I am here to inspire, encourage, and remind you that God has given us the most important weapon we have to fight the enemy, his Word.
Now let’s dress our soul like we dress our bodies, EVERYDAY!
When We Pray Together
Psalms 20:1-9 NIV
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. Now this I know: The LORD gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. LORD, give victory to the king! Answer us when we call!
We have all been there, distressed, needing the Lords help, and desiring victory over our circumstances. Psalm 20 has two parts, the assembled people and King David’s pray for victory in an impending battle. The people pray that God would bless the king during the fight.
David prays to describe his confidence in God. David and the people of Israel are trusting in something far more effective, and reliable than human armies. Here lies the power of a prayerful people who have come together on one accord to get things done. Not in their own strength, but the strength of the Lord through faith. There is nothing like coming together with other believers in prayer.
When we pray together, we experience God’s presence.
When we pray together, we become impactful when we lift each other up.
When we pray together, we unlock the doors of our hidden potential.
When we pray together, there is a change in the atmosphere affecting the very condition of things around us.
When we pray together, there is evidence of transformation.
When we pray together, we are louder than any operatic vocal performance or brass jazz band ensemble. He hears us. The Word says, “for where two or three gather are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:20 NKJV
Remember we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
