The Lord Hears

 

*Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.

(Malachi 3:16)*

*God has designed His kingdom so that Christians with kindred spirits join together*.

--It is exciting when you find another Christian who shares the same concerns and burdens that you do!   Often, God will graciously bring another believer alongside you who will undergird you in the work and concerns God has placed on your heart.

*God releases a powerful dimension of His presence to His children when they unite in heart and mind regarding His kingdom.*

*/The Bible says that when two or more Christians meet and reverently discuss matters concerning the Lord, God is pleased to listen to them and to respond to their concerns/*.

When two or three believers agree in prayer, God chooses to respond to their unity by making His powerful presence known in their midst *(Matt.

18:19–20).*

When two people walked together and discussed the confusing events of Christ’s crucifixion, Jesus joined them and helped them understand the events of their day (*Luke 24:13–32).*

*/If you are carrying concerns about your family or your church or your friends, ask God to bring like-minded believers around you to share the burden with you in conversation and in prayer.

Don’t attempt to bear your load of cares on your own.

You may pray about them, but you will miss the blessing of uniting together with a group of believers who join together to intercede for one another and to enjoy God’s presence.

Everything God has woven into the fabric of His kingdom promotes interdependence, not individualism.

As you face your concerns, deliberately seek out other believers with whom you can stand and share your load./*
