Bible Reading: Isaiah 59, 60 & 61; 2 Thessalonians 3
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even at it is with you” 2 Thessalonians 3:1 (KJV).
Paul was able to accomplish what he did for Christ partly because of the prayers of God’s people. He was fully aware that God’s plans and purposes for his life and ministry would not be fully realized without the faithful prayers of fellow believers. (Rom. 15:30; 2Cor. 1:11).
This spiritual principle of God’s kingdom is valid today. We need the prayers of other Christians, and they need ours too. With faithful intercession in the Churches, God’s desire would be accomplished, Satan’s purposes would be defeated, and the Holy Spirit’s full power would be revealed.
When God is achieving results in the life of a Christian, there is someone somewhere lifting up the hands of that Christian in prayer.
