United Prayer

United prayer (corporate prayer) is a God-given secret to accessing divine power. It is a form of prayer that every Christian can and should use. Unfortunately, many of us have not had the opportunity to participate in true united prayer. Because we haven’t experienced what God can do through united prayer, we limp along, unaware of the world of possibilities He waits to give in answer to united prayer.

What is United Prayer?

United prayer means praying in harmony with other believers for a common goal.

Jesus defines it this way: “I say to you that if two of you agree on earth about whatever they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in paradise. For anywhere two or three are met together in My name, I am here in the midst of them.” Matthew 18:19-20

Thus, united prayer means:

At least two or three individuals pray together.

Coming together in Christ’s name (and for His purposes).

Agreeing together about what we are asking of God.

Jesus will be with us!

What are some Biblical Examples of United Prayer?

The Bible is an entire of stories of united prayer. A few examples will give us a vision of corporate prayer’s role in our lives and churches.

Jehoshaphat and the Adulatory Army: The people of Judah had repaid God under the leadership of good king Jehoshaphat. Their faith was tested as many Moabites and Ammonites came to war with them. King Jehoshaphat “dreaded and set himself to pursue the Lady.” He also called all the people of Judah to join him in prayer and fast for release. All the families prayed earnestly at the temple as Jehoshaphat entreated God for deliverance. God’s answer came swiftly.

A temple musician was filled with the Holy Spirit and gave these words of encouragement, “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great crowd, for the battle is not yours, but God’s… You will not essential to fight in this battle… for the Lord is with you,” 2 Chronicles 20:3,15,17. Jehoshaphat and his people believed God’s word and sang praises to the battlefield. When they arrived, they found that their enemies had killed each other. All they had to do was clean up the spoil.

Lessons for today:

It should be our natural response to the problems we face in the church.

It allows God to speak to us and show us His plans.

United prayer and praise allow God to defeat our enemies.

Why do I Need to Pray with Others?

Oxygen is dynamic to our physical being. Just five to ten minutes of oxygen deficiency can product in permanent brain injury. Death quickly follows. What if our lungs took in oxygen but did not issue the oxygen to the rest of the body? We wouldn’t survive long!

After we spring our lives to Christ, we become part of His body. Every part of this body of believers needs prayer, just as every cell in our body needs oxygen for survival. And just like our human bodies, the different parts of Jesus’ body must work together. “God never intended for us to be private little independent units working alone. We are to be a collective body of many members, working together in unity to exhort, encourage, and spread the gospel. This unity should also influence the way we pray.” Melody Mason, Daring to Ask for More, p. 77

Requesting with others is faith-building, life-giving, and community-forming. Jesus designed you to pray with others. Your Christian life will flounder if you do not regularly make time to pray with others.

How do I Pray with Others? It Feels so Awkward!

Many people struggle with the idea of praying out loud with other people. Perhaps you are one of them. If so, take courage. God will allow you to do what He calls you to do.

“Whatever is to be done at His command may be talented in His strength. All His biddings are enablings.” Ellen White, Christ’s Thing Lessons, p. 333

Here are some practical submissions that will make it cooler to pray with others:

Pray for courage and an opportunity to pray with others.

Pray out loud on your own (Jesus did!).

Attend any prayer gatherings you can. Simply being in God’s presence will be a great blessing.

Focus on God and worship Him. You are praying to your Heavenly Father. He doesn’t mind if your prayers don’t come out just right.

Pray in your heart in agreement with other people’s prayers.

Take the plunge and pray out loud!

Keep your prayers simple and short.

Pray Scripture verses back to God, or read a passage of Scripture as part of the prayer time.

I’d Like to Start a Prayer Group

Perhaps you sense God asking you to start a prayer group with your friends, family, or local church. Go for it! You will be so blessed as you follow His lead. Here are some suggestions to help you get started:

Small and simple: An influential prayer group needs Only two or three.

Praise and thanksgiving: Begin your prayer time as the Bible heroes did by focusing on God’s goodness and power.

No obstructions: Make sure to take time to confess sin so that there are no obstructions between your heart and God.

Meet regularly: Once a week is a great place to start.

Short sentence prayers: Group prayer works best as a conversation, not a series of mini-sermon prayers. Each person can pray multiple times, but each prayer should be short and on only one topic.

Bible promises: God’s Word is full of promises to stake our faith on. Ask God to give you specific promises, too.

Agree together: When one person prays for a specific request, make sure others also pray for the same thing. It is powerful!

Holy Spirit: Ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance on what to pray and whom to intercede. He will guide and interpret your prayers.

Prayer requests: Don’t share them before praying. Just invite people to pray the requests as part of the prayer time. This prevents “prayer gossip” and preserves your time to talk to God about the requests.

Keep a record: It’s incredibly faith-building to look back and see how God has worked in answer to prayer. Record both requests and praises.

Your daily time: Make sure you are taking time to enjoy Jesus personally every day!

The Way Forward Unidos en Oracion United in Prayer

A small prayer group begun in 2011 by a lay couple in western Kenya has since grown to include over 400 people and led to the baptisms of over 100 Christian pastors into the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

Adventist entrepreneurs Philip and Chepchumba Rono began the prayer group with just people in 2011. They prayed for 2-4 hours each Monday and joined in church-led revival and reformation initiatives. Attendance soared from 50 to 150 in 2014 when they added a second prayer group. Two hundred people joined in 10 Days of Prayer in January 2015. Over 400 people attended the regular prayer meetings the Ronos led by May.

Then, two members invited 12 pastors from other denominations to join a prayer night. They impress and wanted to learn more. A seminar organize, and 16 pastors were baptized in 2016. As of this date, there have been over 100 pastors who have been christened into the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Origin of Facilitated Unidos en Oracion United in Prayer

To my knowledge, this form of “United Prayer” began in Cambodia on a Mission Trip. Participants sought to include a believer of additional faith who had not prayed much with others. In praying for wisdom to know how to incorporate this individual, the imprint came to have participants offer short prayers on several general melodies, one theme at a time, going about the circle, as prompted by a facilitator.

The collection requests the first melody as United Prayer until the facilitator introduces the next theme. The next theme may be presented with a transitioning prayer: “Lord, now we want to change to a time of creation-specific requests….” The facilitator’s strength also suggests a few Bible promises to encourage members. The group would last pray; however, many themes were being followed. Participants are urged to save their prayers short, limiting them to a sentence or two. The sequence chosen during the Cambodia trip was founded on the “ACTS” acronym: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

Objections To Unidos en Oracion United in Prayer

Some people think of the United Prayer format.

Praying Out Loud

They may feel pain praying out loud or spending the extra amount in front of others. Listen and try to be subtle to their concerns. Understand that one size does not fit all, which may cause some individuals not to attend some of the time. Seek to be inclusive, however, ensuring there are weeks when individuals less contented with United Prayer will be contented coming. Don’t insist that United Prayer is the only way to pray. Don’t maintain that every attendee contributes. Do make allowances by providing time for silent prayer.

Trust Issues

Be aware that some people are less trusting than others and find great difficulty opening up before others. I find this is often true of older people. It is also true of those who have been relationally hurt in the past. Please encourage them to attend and contribute as they feel contented. Make sure there are instances of silent prayer.

United Prayer Format

Some people think of the format, uttering they don’t find anything about praying in the Bible. The ten days before Pentecost indicate otherwise, though we don’t know how they prayed. However, there is much regarding praying short devotions in Mrs. White’s writings and together in groups.

Helping You Study United Prayer

You may ask how to find speech marks when educating on United Prayer. For the quotes listed in joining with this web page, I use the EGW research capitals in which you can do a Boolean search and the egwwritings.org site on the net.

For doing a Boolean search, I used the string which follows. You can try the same by pasting the string in the advanced search section.

Search String

(“unity of purpose” OR “given object” OR “amalgamation with others” OR “united entreaty” OR “union of purpose” OR “united prayers”) (entreaty OR prayers OR requesting OR pray OR beg OR entreat OR appeals OR beg)

Notice there are two sets of words in digressions. That means that quotations that contain any individual word or phrase from the first set and any word or phrase from the second set will return. You can add extra sets and individual words.

Be of One Accord for United Prayer

When a church congregation comes together in prayer, it is important to take the time to prepare what you’re going toward praying before God to be in one consensus. A local body must be in contract to activate the power of united prayer. It is a prayer that Jesus Himself certain would transport results every time (Matthew 18:19).

While receiving two or three gathered into agreement may be simple, it is hard to get thousands of people to pray in one consensus if there is no well-planned course for the prayer of petition.

How does a front-runner of corporate prayer prepare to rally an extensive collection in one accord?

Determine in loan what you seek from God. Don’t just pray without any direction or drive!

Plan to pray for the answer, not the problem. Too numerous churches pray about the problem, and what ends up trendy is if they request for the sick, they talk more about the disease than about the golly of God, which is not adequate.

Choose the sacred scripture on which you will stand, and make to lay them before the Lord.

The control of united prayer in the local church will be started when you take the time to make the congregation’s hearts pray in one accord. Praying at the same time just isn’t enough!
