1 | Asking many to pray for us? | Eph 6:18 | justme | 188869 | ||
Is having many believers pray for a person, more effective that person praying for him or her self? Is not the prayer of believer asking that he or she be in the center of the will God, just as strong. Do we as Christians not understand prayer and feel we need numbers praying to touch the Holy Father? If as Scripture says if we had the faith of a mustard seed we could move mountians, then where we do get we need lots of people praying to get the Lord to do as we ask? justme |

2 | Asking many to pray for us? | Eph 6:18 | Wild Olive Shoot | 188870 | ||
Dear justme, Following is some Scripture and commentary I hope helps. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 1Timothy 2:1-4: 1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. “For all men - Prayers should be made for all people - for all need the grace and mercy of God; thanks should be rendered for all, for all may be saved.”… – Albert Barnes James 5:14 – 16: 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. “And pray one for another - One for the other; mutually. Those who have done injury, and those who are injured, should pray for each other. The apostle does not seem here, as in Jam_5:14-15, to refer particularly to the prayers of the ministers of religion, or the elders of the church, but refers to it as a duty pertaining to all Christians.” – Albert Barnes Acts 12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. Matthew 18:19,20: 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Stand in His grace, WOS |
