Corporate gatherings in the body of Christ are crucial to our spiritual health and maturity.
In a corporate gathering, we come expecting, seeking His presence to manifest in the midst of our praises and adoration for Him. In the midst of teachings and worship. Each of us come as individuals, and each are seeking Him.
And although He comes and manifests, and we can experience this as a group, there is a deeply personal encounter that takes place. Each of us has an individual experience within the overall corporate experience. Some get healed, some get ministered to, some get delivered, some experience shaking, crying, or uncontrolled laughter.
It’s like there is an overarching purpose that His presence attends to, while at the same time attending to personal needs. We cannot help but be changed in His presence.
Corporate gatherings are integral to our personal journey with Christ. There is such a hunger when gathered that draws His attention. While personal times with the Lord are valuable and necessary, there is something about a corporate gathering that brings unity, hunger, and growth.
