OK so praying together as a body helps boost your Spiritual walk with God so0oo0o much
especially if your stuck.
Its almost impossible to do it alone without a solid group of believers. The more the better each can help you so much in the unique way that God created them
Which is COOL.
Ok so this concept got brought up today during small group sharing in our discipleship class. Bringing any decision you make to the body of believers to be lifted up in prayer A lot of the time God can and will use others to help confirm His will instead of you trying to figure it out on your own.
At first I was like
"Hmm sound a little cult like"
but when I really thought about it, it made so much sense.
We are the body so any life decision we make will influence the spiritual condition of the rest of the body in one way or another. Now as a whole body we are all connected to the head (Christ) so we work together to discern what the will of the head is for each other.
A lot of the time God can and will use others to help confirm His will instead of you trying to figure it out on your own. Which lets admit is blah.
Just bringing things up to others can open up your eyes to so many more perspectives that helps you get a better understanding of the bigger picture. There should always be a general direction and confirmation among fellow believers.
Wouldn't God be able to do so much more for the Glory of His name if we lifted up all our decisions to Him? Things like:
What university should I go to?
Where should I work?
Do you even want me to go to university?
What ministries should I be a part of?
Should I buy a new car?
Should I buy a house?
Should I start a relationship with this person?
Sound a bit to out there?
hmm I dunno if were suppoed to give our WHOLE lives to God
Then Hey makes a lot of sense to me.
I believe that God works with what we give Him
So if we give Him that much more He will WORK that much more!
What do you guys think?
Last thought:
God is able to smash through so much more when believers gather
and really cry out to God in prayer and seek Him out together!
