Prayer
Welcome to the Ministry of Prayer at Echad Oneness Ministries
At Echad Oneness Ministries, we believe in the transformative power of prayer. Prayer is not merely a ritual or religious duty; it is a profound spiritual practice that connects us with the divine and cultivates intimacy with God. Our Ministry of Prayer is dedicated to fostering a vibrant prayer life among our community members, empowering them to experience God’s presence, receive His guidance, and witness His miraculous works in their lives.
Our Mission
The mission of our Ministry of Prayer is to create a culture of prayerfulness within our congregation and beyond. We aim to equip believers with the tools and resources they need to develop a rich and meaningful prayer life, enabling them to draw closer to God and experience His transformative power. Through teaching, intercession, and spiritual support, we seek to unleash the full potential of prayer in the lives of individuals, families, and communities.

Together, let us seek God’s face, intercede for His kingdom, and experience the abundant blessings He has in store for those who call upon His name.
Consistent Prayer
Prayer is a discipline, much like fasting, meditation, and confession. It is vitally important for people to know how to pray effectively; prayer should be direct, consistent, and habitual, becoming an integral part of your lifestyle. The benefits of consistency in prayer are manifold. Some requests require continual conversation with God, reinforcing our faith in the process and revealing avenues of escape while we wait.
Vision
Corporate prayer is one of the most effective ways of reaching out to God on behalf of others. In reality, we are confronted with encounters that are sometimes unbearable and have nothing to do with one’s background, ethnicity, or status in life. Whether one is a pastor or non-religious, trials are real. As a result, intercession prayer helps unite people’s hearts, minds, and souls, touching God with great expectations.
Prayer for Deliverance
The presence of evil spirits is not merely a historical event but a reality in our present times. Evil spirits operate covertly and can attach themselves to various objects, people, animals, possessions, illnesses, wealth, oppression, and numerous other situations. Therefore, one must renounce evil spirits by exercising authority over one’s environment as a whole, invoking the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and covering one’s life with prayer, fasting, and supplication.
Devoutness
Genesis 6:3 states, “And the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh.” Stemming from this fact, it is possible that people will become spiritually weary at times, and it is at this point that Satan often seeks to exploit weaknesses with tests or temptations. Therefore, prayers must be lifted up to God against every form of immorality and unrighteousness that may draw us away from our place in God. Let us continue to pray fervently for inner strength and spiritual fire!
Success
Adaptation and growth are natural yearnings for humanity. The writer of Ecclesiastes 3:1 highlighted the presence of different “seasons” in life. While some seasons may bring success and fulfillment, others may bring challenges and setbacks. Regardless of the season, prayer can foster growth and provide divine purpose, enabling us to navigate through changes and appreciate the blessings that come with growth. Let us remember that God is the architect behind our achievements!
Prayer of Repentance
People can become so hardened in sinful tendencies that what is wrong may seem right and what is right may seem wrong. This is precisely where the Children of Israel found themselves, measuring God’s holiness by their own standards, to the extent that they faced chastisement for their negative actions. God spoke to them through many of His prophets, urging them to turn from their sinful ways, but they refused to repent. Hence, they were reminded in 2 Chronicles 7:14 to pray for forgiveness of their sins.
