Covered in Prayer

Over the past several months, I have been guest preaching at various churches. It has been a wonderful time of fellowship with the larger body of Christ. And it’s a powerful reminder that the Kingdom of God is greater than any one church, but encompasses Christ-followers in many churches.

Every church my family has visited, we have received an outpouring of support, encouragement, and prayers. I have had countless people personally pledge to pray for our church. Truly, Imago Dei Church is covered in hundreds of earnest prayers.

Prayers matter. The prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective (James 5:16). Prayers defeat the schemes of Satan (Ephesians 6:18). Prayers empower the ministry of the gospel (2 Thess. 1:11). We have many sister churches praying for us. This is how the Kingdom of God advances--through the prayers of God's people, planting new churches, and encouraging and supporting one another.
