To Discern God’s Will Together

Below are instructions for
facilitating prayer and worship
services according to
Matthew 18:19-20,
which reads:
Remember this:
If two or three of you
come together as a community
and clearly discern about anything,
my Father in heaven
will bless that discernment.
For when two or three
gather together in my name,
I am there in the midst of them.

PERSONAL PRAYER TIME
Begin by having each participant
spend time alone with the Lord
(10-20 minutes).
•  Grab a Bible, pen, and paper.
•  Ask God what he wants to say
to you / your house church.
•  If a particular Scripture
or book of the bible comes to mind,
read that. If not, open your bible
by faith and read until something
speaks to your heart.
•  Write your response to what God
is saying.

CORPORATE PRAYER TIME
Gather everyone together
after their prayer time.
•  Invite each person to share
which Scripture/s spoke to them.
•  Invite each person to share
what they feel God is saying
to them / the church.
•  After each person shares, have
someone pray for them / the church.
