“Wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in HIS name...”

“I’m Just Sayin’”

Crisis suddenly hits your life or someone you love.

Who do you call to pray?

Who are those people whose prayers you trust?

Who do you know to be a prayer warrior?

What makes them your prayer warrior?

We all know…we can pray to the Father ourselves;

But we also know…whom to call to pray for us and ours!

Back in the old days, man—I feel old just saying that!

But…we had that circle at our church, in our family, in our friendships…

That would gather at your house or meet you at your church…and pray!

In the millennium—things are a little different!

The use of media, all forms available, has connected prayer warriors across the internet, across cell towers, across the world!

For example…

I got a call from my dear friend this week while I was driving to work. She started the call with, “I am asking you to be my prayer partner and agree in prayer for my sister who is going into surgery at 10:30 am. We need God to do a healing, and I know you believe in healing and…you have been healed, so…I knew you were the one I wanted to agree with me in prayer!”

I responded with, “I will be praying with you and…I will get my prayer warriors praying for her too! Text me and let me how she does!”

I then, while walking into work, sent off a text message to my prayer warriors, the ones I go to when I need someone to agree with me in prayer!

They responded, via text, immediately “Praying for her. Will agree together at 10:30 am for God’s hand to be on her and the surgeon! Text us when you hear anything!”

Awww!!! The Prayer Circle has gone Millennium—and I love it!

The Word says, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)

I know…we all have this vision of 2 or 3 people gathered in a circle, in a home or at an altar, but…the Word doesn’t say that!

So…maybe we gather in one accord, agree in prayer, lift up a need…across Facebook? Or an email? Or text?

As long as we are all in one accord, praying to our Savior for His divine intervention…

We are taking what the enemy may mean for evil…and using it for HIS good!

I have a large circle, 80 people, on Facebook in a subgroup I call “Christian Friends”. Some of these people I have never met. Some of them, I have not physically seen in a number of years….all of these people are Christians who have agreed to be part of this facebook prayer chain, across the nation, across the world….praying for one another’s needs as soon as they are made known…and I think that is a GREAT thing!

I can promise you—FB’s Mark Zuckerburg NEVER envisioned his college dating rating system EVER becoming an international prayer chain!

But…maybe??? God did!

So…it may not be conventional…it may not be traditional… but wherever two or three are gathered in HIS name…HE promised to be in the middle!

And I can promise you…the ONLY one who can answer our prayer petitions is…That Man in the Middle!

It’s an honor to be on somebody’s “shortlist” – the list they call when crisis arises, and they need their Prayer Warriors praying!

It’s more of a humble responsibility to do exactly what is expected of us by the one who called and the one we are calling!!!

Anybody remember that old gospel hymn “Jesus on the Mainline—tell Him what you want! Call Him up, Call Him up, tell Him what you want!”

Life is precious—handle it with PRAYER!

Why not…pray for your prayer warrior right now!

 

Until Next Time

I’m Just Sayin’…
