For many years, prayer was probably the weakest dimension in my life as a Christian.

  How Do We #ReCenterChrist​? * Personally? Corporately? Organically not Programatically? * ​ In our Ministries and Meetings? Our Groups and Gatherings? With Family and Friends?   * ReCentering Christ We intentionally shift from running an agenda to responding to a Person. We devote intentional time to four simple, repeatable practices:   1. Invite — Welcome Our Savior’s Presence “Jesus will be called Immanuel” (which means “God is with us”). — Matthew 1:23 What we are doing: Addressing Jesus personally. Honoring Him as present Lord — not speaking generally “to the room,” but to Him. Language we can use: “Jesus, we welcome You.” “We worship You and recognize Your authority over this time.” “Our desire is to listen, learn, and follow Your lead.” Practice: Worship — brief, focused, Christ-directed.

Renewing of our minds is a call to reimagine (assess: review-rethink-recalibrate) •Next Came An ...

Corporate Prayer: Praying in Community

Image
Learning from Others in Community Prayer by Andrew Wheeler I went to a seminar today at Light & Life Ministries in Elgin. The speaker was Phil Miglioratti (see my previous post) and the topic was primarily raising up more effective prayer in our churches. The entire seminar was incredible - if you ever get a chance to attend one of Phil’s seminars, I highly recommend it. But the point of this post is how uniquely he emphasized the importance of praying in community. Praying in community is important for many reasons, several of which I cover in the book. But Phil emphasized one today that I hadn’t considered before, and that’s how we learn from each other when we pray together. I’ve often said that prayer is more than we think it is because God himself is bigger than we can possibly imagine. It follows naturally that none of us has all the answers on prayer and none of us prays in a way that completely captures all that prayer should be. As we pray together, the...
