Don't Fight Alone

 Deuteronomy 32:30

Every single individual has his or her own life's path and destiny that's unique to each person.

Your unique life's assignment might come with unique battles but it's not meant to be fought alone, it is not God's will for you to fight without support.

Galatians 6:2

Life has it's battles and warfare which can be overwhelming and overpowering.

Our victories in these battles manifest faster and the battle is easier when we have people fighting with us and for us.

Our results are multiplied when we have others praying and agreeing with us for one will chase a thousand and two will put then thousand to flight.

The prayer of agreement is very powerful.

It is a great way to tackle life's battles.

Matthew 18:18,19

Some people believe they don't need a church service or need to fellowship with other saints but are content praying at home.

The question is, do they really pray at home, and do they pray enough if they do?

God in His wisdom put the structure of fellowship with one another together, He instructs the gathering together of the saints which we call church (the Ecclesia). 

This helps protect His saints, we bear each others burdens, receive support,  we receive edification, we build up one another, and love on one another.

Hebrews 10:25

Prayer is part of the support we receive from one another.

James 5:16

Prayer is a major way we tackle life's battles and receive breakthrough.

James 5:14

People have different gifts and graces.

There is someone or some people who have what you need with them or within them.

You don't have it all, you can't do it all.

You need the help of others, people who can benefit you.

No one is created to be an island unto himself.

Human beings are created for relationships, and relationships become our network.

A king would not be a king without his subjects.

Proverbs 14:28

Even wolves are clever enough to hunt in packs.

Together we are more effective.
