Prayer Partner

Time and tide waits for none. Its been over eight years since the Lord blessed me with my wife. Since the very beginning, the Lord has taught us to pray together and do all things--big and small, in one accord. Without much realization, I found myself to be a dad of three children already. Sometimes, its hard to believe.
 
Recently, the Lord impressed me very deeply about a very solid time of prayer with my wife on a regular basis. Though we have been praying together almost every night, the Lord burdened me further to take my wife as my prayer partner and pray with her more solidly and specifically. Since last Monday, we began to sanctify specific time of prayer every morning besides the morning revival time. Oh it was another big step the Lord accomplished in us! I used to be more on personal prayer, but this time, the Lord led me to spend more time in corporate prayer, especially with my wife. I enjoyed the prayer and it was much better than my personal prayer, but not neglecting my personable prayer either. I have found my true prayer partner. I was strengthened, and she was too.

The spiritual battle we are fighting as the Body here in North India is fierce. Subtly, there will be attacks now and then, as we have been facing it. If not to be preserved in prayer, things would turn out to be a mess. For this the Lord burdened the church in Gurgaon and all the brothers to spend more time in prayer. Outwardly there is nothing much we can do, even though we have tried many things many times. The ultimate victory, revival and recovery will be through prayer.

Since, the Lord led us to have more prayer for the gospelization and truthization of North India, especially NCR and particularly Gurgaon, we begin to witness the Lord's work in bringing people to salvation, one by one. The last two weeks the Lord has blessed us with seven baptisms, all from North India of Hindi speakers. Even the way we conducted the Lord's table meeting has been changed to accommodate the local Hindi speakers. 

Truly, This is the word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of hosts. Zechariah 4:6

So there is a need for men to pray and move the Hands that moves the world. Prayer is most effective when prayed in the Body, in co-ordination, in one accord with our prayer partners. 

Lord, thank you for my wife, my prayer partner! And grace us to be faithful prayer partner all the days of our lives.
