We often forget that before we can reach a lost and dying world, we need to pray! In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus tells us that we need to pray to the Lord of the Harvest. Prayer is where evangelism begins.
Prayers for the needs of the outer man can dominate our prayer requests. While these prayers are important, above these we have to pray for the needs of the inner man, especially in times of great trial.
The Bible says that Christ is the Head of the church and the church is His body. What keeps the body connected to the Head? Prayer.
Jesus is the life and the hope of the church. When we submit to His active headship, His life flows through us. When we pray together then, we must pray together as one under Christ our Head.
