Healing through prayer teams
1 Corinthians 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

What is the most important answer in the Bible? It is personal enjoyment of the power of prayer and sharing that answer with others. The first command from God upon the exodus was to relay the covenant of the sacrificial offering to all the peoples through the elders. They relayed God’s plan of dividing the tribes before entering Canaan, and conquering Jericho. God demanded them to form groups to pray for the important covenant of God. What was the reason why God formed prayer teams during critical times?
1. Personal healing
Prayer groups are formed for personal healing. It was commanded from God to strengthen those with unbelief. The prayer team is the start of prayer for those who have desolate hearts and can no longer pray. Enjoying happiness through prayer and having a separate time of prayer for you is the start of important healing.
2. Church healing
Without experiencing the power of personal prayer, it is difficult to enjoy the blessing of praying together. Church healing will arise when you pray in one heart for the church. When you pray in groups, the Holy Spirit will work, regions will gather to create meetings of those interested in evangelism with one heart, and the committed workers who pray for the prayer and evangelism movements will gather together. This is the model of church healing. While the church is filled with God’s grace, all the members are coming together for world evangelization in the creation of prayer teams.
3. Field healing
Field healing must take place after the individual and church has been restored. God desires for you to save others through the Gospel, which will change the entire atmosphere. The field will only transform through the connection of the Word and serving with prayer. If people are changed and disciples are established through the prayer teams, it will link to answers of even more prayer teams, and the greatest evangelism movement of changing the culture will arise.
-The prayer team begins with personal enjoyment of the power of prayer and the sharing of it. Form a prayer team for the church and experience the blessing of prayer.
