Stand Together, Brothers and Sisters. It is so very difficult to suffer travail alone. Together, we are the Church; Together we can utilize the many spiritual blessings we receive from the Holy Spirit, and put them to good use when we minister to one another. Stand Together and Stand Strong. It's very likely our prayers, as a group, will be answered.
John Piper speaks of this so eloquently today:
"If we pray and pray for some change we want to see, but we never consider seeking the ministry of a fellow believer, we are like the eye that says to the hand, “I have no need of you” (1 Corinthians 12:21).
So in your small groups (which is the most natural place for such ministry to happen), seek the fullness of God’s “good” (1 Corinthians 12:7), and minister to each other—and seek to be ministered to—in this way.
Seeking all his fullness with you,
Pastor John"
