Singles Triple Cord Prayer Movement
Matthew 18:19-20
“Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
One of the greatest privileges we have as Christians is to pray. We have a special invitation from God to go boldly before the throne of grace with our petitions. The verses above from Matthew 18 remind us that if we can come together in small groups and agree together in a God-centered prayer that God will move. All of the greatest revivals in history have one thing in common. Every one of them started with a prayer movement.
With that in mind, the Singles Ministry of FBCIT is launching a fall prayer emphasis called the Triple Cord Prayer Movement. The prayer emphasis will begin on Sunday, September 7th. We are calling on Singles to gather in groups of three at their convenience and begin to pray and ask God to send His revival fire down upon:
-you
-our church
-the Singles Ministry
-our community
-our nation
Please sign up in each Life Group class beginning September 7, 2008 to be part of the Singles Triple Cord Prayer Movement at FBCIT. Real revival may be just a prayer away if you will get involved in seeking God diligently through prayer.
