Band of Believers

19 "Again, truly 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. 20 For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
Matthew 18:12-14



In my opinion, there is nothing more powerful than a band of believers agreeing and seeking the Lord together in person and openly. To be honest, it has been about 21 years or so since I have been a part of a consistent weekly prayer group that met weekly and prayed from our hearts for whatever the Lord laid on our hearts at the time. We prayed for each other and for struggles and challenges and opportunities. We prayed for friends and family and colleagues who were broken or struggling or just plain lost without a relationship with Jesus Christ. We prayed for opportunities to serve in the coming week, we prayed for our church leadership and for the perseverance of our leaders in the faith. We worshiped our Father together; at times we would break out in song and adoration for the King of Kings who brought us together and made all things possible for us through His death on the cross. I miss those Sunday evenings and I miss that group of friends from Ohio. Find a few other believers this week to band together with and pray to your Father in Heaven and you will see and experience what Jesus is describing here about being there with two or three who come together in His name. I praise you this morning Father for other believers and for your incredible love and Spirit of peace that comes when we come together and seek your face – we love you!
