God Needs only 1 or 2 Intercessors to Change the Situation They are Facing
1. God needs only one or two intercessors who believe in His word to change the situation in their children, their marriage, their workplace, or their nation
We overcome the devil not because of the large numbers of intercessors who are praying with us.
God has said that if only one or two intercessors pray with faith, He will do what we ask.
(Ezekiel 22:30; Matthew 18:19).
EZEKIEL 22:30 NAS
30 "I searched for A MAN among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, so that I would not destroy it; but I found no one.
MATTHEW 18:19
19 "Again, truly I tell you that if TWO OF YOU on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Thus only one or two intercessors who have faith is enough to change the situation in their children or marriage or workplace or nation.
2. It is God’s power that will change a person or a group of people or a nation when we pray
We have no power to change the heart of any person.
Only God can do that.
Proverbs 21:1 NAS
1 The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.
The heart of everyone in this world is in God’s hands like channels of water.
And only God can change a person’s heart, whether a king or a pauper, a rich or a poor man.
And if we declare God’s blessings over a person or a nation, God will do what we say by changing the hearts of the people we are praying for.
This is because it is God’s power that will bring about the changes we need when we believe in His word, not the power of man.
Zechariah 4:6
6 So he said to me, "This is the word of Yehovah to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says Yehovah of Hosts.
3. God’s power is released by faith in His word, not by the numbers of people praying or the length of time taken to pray
Matthew 9:29
29 Then He touched their eyes and said, "According to YOUR FAITH let it be done to you.”
If we believe in God's word in Mark 11:23-24, and we pray, and we believe we have received our miracle, and we declare the miracle over our situation, God said that He will do what we say and declare.
God is bound by His word.
He cannot lie.
He will do miracles for us because of our faith, not because of the large number of people praying, not because of the long hours we are using to pray, and not because of the way we pray.
Thus, if only 1 or 2 persons have faith in God’s word when they pray, God will change a person, a family or a nation.
In this way, only 1 or 2 persons are needed to heal a person, heal a family, heal a business, and heal the land.
4. So never doubt that God will do what you say even if you are praying alone or with another believer
Mark 11:23 ESV
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
James 1:6-7
6 But when you ask, you must believe and NOT DOUBT, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Do not believe that you need lots of people to pray with you so that God will answer your prayers.
If you do so, you will always pray in doubt.
You will ask yourself, “I have so few people praying with me, will God answer my prayers?”
If you believe that you need more than one or two persons to pray with you before God answers your prayers, you will run around asking for others to pray with you.
If they do not have faith in God when they pray, your prayers will not be answered.
God is moved only by faith, not numbers of intercessors, or the number of days you are praying for the same thing.
And if you doubt, because you have no others to pray with you, then you will not see your miracle.
However, even if you are praying alone, praying with faith in Mark 11:23-24, God will do what you pray and decree.
And you will see your miracle.

A TESTIMONY
"I met my Sales Target in Times of Economic Challenges Over the past 4 Years Through the power of Decree"
A brother testified one Sunday:
" I work for a company that sells electronic testing equipment to big factories in Penang.
In 2015, I was moved from the Technical Consulting Department to the Sales Department.
I have never done sales before, and I also hate to do cold calls over the phone, asking for sales.
So during the Small Prayer Group session at the end of our Sunday Service, my prayer partners and I prayed to God asking for good customers.
We made the following decrees every Sunday when we could gather together.....
1. God has given me a good job.
2. God has given me good customers, new and old customers.
3. My customers always show me great favour, and they will call me to buy from me.
For the first 3 years that I was doing sales, I met my sales target by the last week of the year, though the economic situation was challenging to me and my colleagues.
During the fourth year, I met my sales target by the middle of June.
I was also given the best salesman award for that year at our regional Company meeting, at the beginning of the fifth year.
To God be the glory!
Great things he had done!
Shalom
