You've Got to Pray

I was blessed to spend time in prayer tonight with our elders and couple of our staff members. We cried out to God on behalf of spiritually wounded people, for friends who had just lost loved ones, for physical healing in far too many cases, and for satan's strongholds to be shattered in our community. It was an intense time and yet powerfully refreshing and encouraging to battle for people together. I am honored to have the opportunity to pray for others and even more so to petition God with good friends and brothers. It is in these times of intense spiritual warfare that our community with each other is developed. More importantly, it is through this that our confidence in God's ability to redeem and restore His people is strengthened. No wonder satan does everything in his limited power to distract us from prayer.
