Strong holds
The battle is often in what you believe.
A lot of what holds people down is built on lies they've believed for a long time. Lies like these:
- God could never forgive what I did.
- I'll always be this way.
- If anyone really knew me, they'd leave.
- I have to fix myself before God will have me.
The Bible calls these strong holds, and it says they come down. Not by willpower, and not by a technique. They come down when we bring them into the light, confess what needs confessing, forgive what needs forgiving, and take hold of what God says is true.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;2 Corinthians 10:4–5
What a prayer room is
Prayer, the Word of God, and people who'll keep your confidence.
It's prayer.
We pray with you and for you, out loud and by name, about the very things you bring into the room.
It's the Word of God.
We open the Bible together, because that's where God tells us what's true about Him, about sin, about forgiveness and about you.
It's private.
What you share stays in the room. No one is there to judge you. Every one of us needs the same Savior. How we keep it private
It isn't a sermon, a class or a counseling appointment. It's believers bearing one another's burdens, the way Galatians 6:2 says to. We don't promise you a feeling or an outcome. We pray, we open the Word, and we trust the Lord with the rest.
How it works
Four simple steps.
Request
Fill out a short form. It takes about two minutes, and you only share what you're comfortable sharing.
Hear from us
Someone from TheWay will reach out to answer your questions and learn a little about what you'd like prayer for.
Schedule
Pick a time that works. Meet in person in Big Rapids, or by video call from anywhere.
Pray
Come as you are. Give yourself some unhurried time. We won't rush you.
Who we are
A ministry of TheWay.
Prayer rooms are a ministry of TheWay, a church in Big Rapids, Michigan. We follow Jesus, and we believe He still saves, still forgives and still sets people free.
You don't have to be part of our church to request a prayer room, and you don't have to have it all figured out. If you've never trusted Jesus as your Savior, that's a good place to start. We'd be glad to show you from the Bible how.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.James 5:16
Come boldly
The door is open.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.Hebrews 4:16
