In this series of Church Without Walls we’re suggesting to you that church looks like connecting with others to help with your spiritual growth. When we pray with others we find a new, spiritual connection with them. This connection allows us to bless others in prayer.
Gather with others and centre your attention on God in your midst.
CHURCH WITHOUT WALLS ACTIVITY CHALLENGE
Connect Activity #5
Bless others in prayer.
Pray for one another.
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. (James 5:16)
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)
CHURCH WITHOUT WALLS
Find someone you’ve never prayed with before and ask how you could bless them in prayer.
This may take you outside of your comfort zone, but it will grow you in spirit and in faith. God will use you and bless someone as you step out in obedience. And, as you do, you will be blessed in ways you did not imagine!
Let’s leave the final words to the Apostle Paul;
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. (Galatians 6: 2-3)
