Circle of Faith

Two nights ago I sat around a table with some fellow believers for an old-fashioned prayer meeting. We circled up and linked our faith together to cry out to God on behalf of other people. There was one particular burden we each lifted fervently. We called out to the Lord of the Universe on behalf of one who really needs a fresh touch from God. There was urgency in that little circle of faith. Each prayed in agreement and faith was high as those petitions were lifted before the throne of grace. [Heb 4:16] “Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in our time of need.”

Tears flowed that night. Hearts burned with the love of God and the hope of His omnipotent power to be manifested. A spiritual war ensued in the spiritual realm as the needy were lifted before the throne of God. This was not an everybody go around the circle and pray a token prayer kind of meeting. This was a bold and desperate kind of meeting. The prayers are not remembered for their eloquence but more for their passion and fervency. Hearts were reclaimed in the name of Jesus, hope was restored according to His word, and love was expressed and shared in that room.

Testimonies have already begun coming in about how God is working. Now is not the time to let up. We need more circles of faith throughout Gaines County and all over the nation and the world. Surely you could spare some time each week to be a part of your own circle of faith. I urge you to find a few fellow believers and develop your own circle of faith. So much is at stake. We must keep the circle of faith unbroken.

Get on the walls and do not let circle of faith be broken. Take your turn to cry out on behalf of those who need to be touched by God. The times are desperate and call for desperate measures. Gather in your circles of faith and plead for God to intervene.
