Administrators Naomi Posted April 15, 2013 Administrators Posted April 15, 2013 I have heard a few ask why we feel praying on-line is important ... my answer, Prayer ANYTIME, ANYPLACE is important and what better place, in the electronic age, to pray together than right here! "If two of you shall agree as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together; there am I in the midst of them." Matt. 18:19.20 We are encouraged to pray for success, with the divine assurance that our prayers will be answered...The promise is made on the condition that the united prayers of the church are offered, and in answer to these prayers, there may be expected a power greater than that which comes in answer to private prayer.The power given will be proportionate to the unity of the members and their love for God and for one another."9th Manuscript Releases (no. 748), p.303 (Letter 32, 1903, p.5 "Precious promise!! But, do we believe it? What marvelous results would appear if the united prayers of this company were to ascend to God in living faith!" Evangelism, p. 414 Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
cricket Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Communication and interaction between one another is important for most (nearly all) human beings. Regardless if one is Christian or of some other faith (or of no faith at all), it is desirous of most people to be heard, appreciated, and cared for. Do not even rhesus monkeys crave touch from others of their own species? Prayer is an expression of that concern for one another, it is an expression of love. Love is never unimportant. Quote
Administrators debbym Posted April 15, 2013 Administrators Posted April 15, 2013 Quote: Prayer is an expression of that concern for one another, it is an expression of love. Prayer is the work of the Holy Spirit, working in us to do God's will. God's will is that we love one another as He Loves us. Amen Cricket. Quote deb Love awakens love. Let God be true and every man a liar.

What a precious promise. Thank-you Naomi. Prayer is the breathe of the soul, it means we are spiritually alive, and when we pray together, we are spiritually alive together. I gotta breathe.

Administrators Gail Posted April 15, 2013 Administrators Posted April 15, 2013 I like the concept of united prayers. Online prayers- they not only bless the one that does it but those who read as well. They are encouraging, faithful words that minister grace. Prayers come from the heart and the heart is God's realm. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Administrators Gail Posted April 15, 2013 Administrators Posted April 15, 2013 When I read an online prayer on here I am ALWAYS blessed and uplifted. Your personal prayers should be kept private, those regarding your sins, etc. But corporate prayers and expressions of praise give my day a lift and make me smile and give me peace. So for all who will venture to do that, I thank you for blessing me for your concern for others and your courage and faith. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
