who are worth their salt and who will truly lead others spiritually must be people of the Word. The second element of fellowship is prayer. God speaks to us through His Word and we speak to Him through prayer. The thing to remember is that there are prayers that move the hand of God and there are prayers that have no effect at all. What’s the difference? Jesus talked about the different kinds of praying in a parable. Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
