He uses prayer to guide, unite, and transform us as well as others.  We also prioritize praying as a body in our times together. Hearing God leads us to lay our burdens down and ask God to align us with his people and plans.  We live in a real spiritual battle. The battle for every step of personal or community transformation must first be won in the spiritual realm before we will see victory in the physical realm. Intercession for others in our community, state, nation and the world is therefore essential to seeing Christ centered change in any person or place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_9217\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3715-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WeAreAPrayingBody.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WeAreAPrayingBody.mp3\">https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WeAreAPrayingBody.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WeAreAPrayingBody.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=3715-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WeAreAPrayingBody.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"WeAreAPrayingBody.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfbastrop.org\/blog\/feed\/podcast\/\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>God desires to have personal and regular communication with us.
