SCRIPTURE READING IS ALWAYS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PRAYER MEETING. GENERALLY, THE LEADER WILL START THE MEETING WITH A SCRIPTURE READING AND A DISCUSSION OF THAT READING.
THE ATTENDEES AT THE MEETING ARE ALSO FREE TO READ SCRIPTURE AT ANY TIME IN THE MEETING WHEN THEY ARE SO MOVED. MOST OF THE TIME THE SCRIPTURE THAT IS READ WILL FIT INTO THE THEME FOR THE EVENING THAT THE LEADER HAS SET.

1 Timothy 4:13 “Until I come, (says Paul) devote yourself to the public reading of scripture, to preaching and to teaching.”

2 Timothy 3:16 “I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.”

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

James 5:16 “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

Matthew 6:6 “When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
