Celebration Sunday – Prayers for Unity

Welcome to the 4th Celebration Sunday and a new week of Spiritual Fitness! It is hard to believe that we have begun week 4. Our topic for the week will be unity, which is key to my ministry. If we want to see Revival and Spiritual Awakening in America, then churches and denominations are going to have to put aside their differences. That does not mean that we tolerate false teaching, but churches who have the same core beliefs need to unite together. Maybe we have some differences in theology on baptism or speaking in tongues, but if we believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven and God expects holiness from the church then it is time to unite together.

My ministry is founded upon this Bible verse, “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me” John 17:20-21 (NKJV). Jesus did not plan for his churches to be divided by denominations as we have done in modern times, rather He wanted us to be united. He knew that united churches could combine resources to help fulfill his purposes. The body of Christ needs to quit being so divided in our theology and unite together with one common purpose. The church’s purpose is the Great Commission, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” Matt 28:19-20 (NKJV).

Churches need to pray together with other churches in the community and our weekly prayer meetings need to be restored. If you are interested in being a church hub, which is a church who hosts community-wide prayer meetings then click here: church hubs. I do not charge fees for belonging to Prayer in Every City. I have made everything you would need to form a church hub or prayer group free on my blog, because I want to make this easy for you. If you have any questions, you may contact me by e-mail prayerineverycity@gmail.com. If you are interested in forming a prayer group then click here: prayer groups. I also have free downloadable prayer guides, Prayer in Every City Spring 2013 ,  and sin lists, Sin List from A-Z. This is all you will need to form your groups.

My first church hub meeting will be held on September 15th. Please pray that churches in my area will be willing to come together and pray.
