Together

Acts 2:1-2
When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like that of a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were staying.
 
In December 2011, I witnessed the Spirit of God rush into a hospital room in Diriamba, Nicaragua and move on the hearts of two men and bring them into relationship with Him. I was a first-hand witness to God’s Spirit ushering souls from the Kingdom of Darkness into God’s eternal Kingdom. In June 2015, I witnessed the Spirit of God work in a small group in La Romana, Dominican Republic and move in a high school baseball player’s heart to call on the name of Jesus for the first time. On other occasions, I’ve witnessed the Spirit of God move in a room full of men here locally. This resulted in a number of them confessing strongholds in their life and asking for prayer and accountability.
 
Throughout scripture and in my own experience, there seems to be a common theme when God moves in a situation. That theme is that believers were gathered together. God moves in solitude and He moves when we are alone. But He does powerful works when believers gather together to agree and intercede on one another’s behalf. The Christian walk is not an individual sport, it’s a team sport. Is there a stronghold or situation you can’t seem to make any progress in? I encourage you to get real with fellow believers, confess to them, ask for prayer, and agree to intercede on each other’s behalf. Powerful things happen when we get real, when we get honest, and when we get together and get desperate for God to move. After all, confessing to one another is what brings healing. 
 
James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.
