Encouragement and Prayer: Growing Together As God’s Dwelling! (7/30/25)

This is the audio from the July 30, 2025 social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:46-47 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will focus on God’s desire that we do life together.  The early believers met together in public and they met together in their homes.  The nature of their coming together was such that they enjoyed “favor with all the people.”  The result of such favor was that “the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”  Pray that you would interact with others in ways that promote favor and goodwill among people.  Pray that God would help you to see how your interactions with other believers can be a fruitful witness for the cause of Christ.  Pray that you would find joy in the coming together of the body of Christ whenever you have the opportunity to be together.  Pray for a spirit of unity within the body of Christ.

“And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
Ephesians 2:22 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you know the value of one another as we live this Christian life together.  Pray that you would see yourself not only as an individual dwelling of God’s Spirit, but also as a part of the larger community of His body.  Pray for eyes which see the household of God being built together with those who are in Christ.
