Spiritual Shift 10: From Going it Alone to Doing it Together

Description: The task to be witnesses for Jesus ‘in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth’ is simply too much to accomplish by our own wisdom or in our own strength. Like the early believers we must gather constantly with others in prayer to seek the will of Jesus and the filling of the Holy Spirit. We need to fellowship with one another, and through prayer and fasting discern God’s will together. None of us is ‘the only one left’ (even though, like Elijah, we sometimes feel this way). We need to seek out community and listen expectantly to Jesus together. Scriptures: Acts 1:8-14; Acts 2:42-47; Acts 13:1-5; 1 Kings 19:9-19 Select one of these scriptures and meditate on it. Prayer Prompts: Invite the Spirit to reveal to you the place in your life where you are most prone to go it alone. With that in view, take a few minutes to read and meditate on the scripture of your choosing. Ask Jesus to show you who He might be wanting you to partner with and how? As you move forward be expectant for Him to open the way for this to happen.
