Ever Interceding

by Diana Brown

The Power Of Praying Together

Prayer is a challenge for many believers, yet prayer is one of the most important things we can do. We need to be people of prayer who are plugged into the power of prayer.

Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18 ESV).

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:20-21 ESV).

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up (1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV).

Our prayers shift the atmosphere around us and give God permission to work in our lives.

“That they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:21 ESV).

Through prayer, when we are ever interceding, we become ONE with Jesus, our Father, and the Holy Spirit. And that changes everything! (Even US!)

PRAYING TOGETHER TEACHES US TO PRAY.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers (Acts 2:42 ESV).

Praying together is the foundation in Acts 2:42. Praying together is the foundation that we laid from day ONE in Women World Leaders. We are a ministry that was started and founded on prayer; this discipline continues—all we do and seek for Women World Leaders will always be bathed in prayer.

Your Turn: What have you learned about prayer from a friend?

PRAYING TOGETHER, WE WIN THE FIGHT.

And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them…” And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness (Acts 4:24, 31 ESV).

The church we see in the Book of Acts went to the Lord to fight their battles. Like the early church, in Women World Leaders, we also fight our battles on our knees. We seek God’s direction in the way the ministry is to go and all that He has for us.

Your Turn: How have you seen the Lord work through praying together?

PRAYING TOGETHER, WE ENCOUNTER THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (Matthew 18:20 ESV).

Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him (Ephesians 3:11-12 ESV).

When we seek the Lord together, we enter His presence and experience His teaching and intervention, which only He can provide.

Your Turn: How have you encountered God’s presence through prayer?

As Women World Leaders, let’s be ever interceding in prayer, asking God to show up, be God, and do the impossible as we storm heaven TOGETHER. The Lord definitely wants us to spend time in His Word and talk to Him DAILY!

You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, Lord, do I seek” (Psalm 27:8 ESV).
