Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: justme, Good day to you brother. Faith is essential in all aspects of a believer's walk with God. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith we cannot please God. James 5:15,16 tells us that the prayer offered in faith will restore the sick and that the effective prayer of the righteous accomplishes much. But I will say this in reference to Ecclisiastes 4:12 God never created any of us to be lone rangers. There is always strength in numbers. We will be stronger in the majority of cases together than we will be individually. There will be instances where it will be just you and God.David is a good example of this. Imagine if he had went into battle against Goliath and had been faithless he would have been squashed.It would not have mattered that he had the armies of Isreal at his back,it didnt matter anyway considering where ther hearts were at at this particular moment in time. A good case in point is my own salvation twelve plus years ago. Unknown to me at the time,I had a group of people that had been praying for me for more than a year. Yes the prayer of the one can move the heart of God,but also the prayer of the many. God wants us united.So whether you pray alone or togethor in concort with others is no judgement on our faith. But it is inline with God's will to have us united. In Him, lionheart uni |
