"I AM",
I am a member of two different prayer groups online and we have a number of people who have found them to be quite effective. It is more important that we find those of like faith to associate with at times when we need others we have one another. GOD is always there but they are a lifeline to strengthen us. I have a number of Church members that I also get together with, pray with, and associate with outside of our church. Have a wonderful week and a Great Thanksgiving!!
Thank YOU,
Eds

Which ever way you look at it, Prayer does not work.
Look at the Paul Gregory study , Prayer actually caused more suffering for those who knew they were being prayed for. Prayers never re-grow limbs on amputees . All answered prayers are merely coincidence.
Prayer is pure superstition and has no place in the 21st century. Don’t make excuses for superstition , we need to eliminate prayers from society before we can begin our road to salvation.

The Bible says: Whereever two or more are praying the Lord is present!
I love prayer groups and huddle prayers!

Matthew 18:19
"Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven."
Matthew 18:20
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Definitely believe. Is it more effective? Not sure....But, "where two or more are gathered in my name......" I think so.
To pray in groups is sharing in the intimate relationship with God. It not only brings us closer to the Lord but also to one another as we share in the love of God and belief in His power to heal and answer our hearts desires.
Power in numbers?? I don't know. Praying is our way of spending time with God. Praising Him and Honoring Him.

Prayer groups are when groups of people gather and pray. God assures us that he is in his presence when we pray.

Of course! And I belong to one. We keep a journal of asked and answered prayers. It's a wonderful way to honor Christ!
God bless!

When ever two or more of them gather to pray in his name, he is there.

peace and blessings be upon you
look at them in the mosque while they stand beside each others in stright alignments.shoulders and feet attached to each other , stand together , bend together , put their heads in the floor together , talk together , sometimes cry .
Just looking at them make our hearts vibrate.
these people know each other in the mosque and like each other,
you can find the rich man beside the poor man , the both put their heads in the floor together , (we all the same in front of the God).
