Prayer has to be one of the most exciting journey’s that we undertake as Christians and to be able to have a personal relationship with Father is overwhelming, yet there is another facet to prayer that we have not looked at a great deal in any of the studies and that is corporate prayer. Corporate prayer is like a big family get together with Father, it’s like Christmas or some other time when we all cram into one space and spend some good quality time together. And just as we enjoy family get togethers so God loves to meet with His children all in one place.
There is great power in corporate prayer because something amazing happens,
'For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.' Matthew 18: 20
This is a promise, therefore we have the assurance that if we meet up with other Christians to pray, Christ Himself joins us to pray. That has got to be an incentive! Just imagine Jesus comes to everyone of your church prayer meetings!
Let me encourage you to meet up and pray with others, to go to your church or local prayer meetings, if you don’t you’re missing an opportunity to pray with Jesus.
