Not quite too long, after my midnight encounter with the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit baptism. It was all peaceful untill after 2 to 3 weeks when I got a sad report from my best friend.
I had visited him on a Monday evening and met him sitting on the stair pave to his apartment, looking so disgruntled. I couldn't believe what he told me with a quiet voice....my eldest bro, is been kidnapped while on errand with the company tug boat. The brother was a father and mother to him because they lost their parents while my friend was still very young, so vividly he would turn to the bro anytime challenges come.
So I really saw the pain in him, and after enquiring more about the ordeals it became clear that there was a very serious problem because the company P.R.O had raised alarm earlier that they were not sent on any errands by the company and that the company is not paying for their ransoms. They numbered up to three in the vessel before being taken hostages. what would you do if you are in such a situation? Knowing fully well that the very P.R.O of the com pany who should be responsible for negotiation has openly denied and he is also a part of the family of the abductee
The situation was a pitiful one but alas there was something more to what happened, God was going to reveal HIMSELF more to me and my friend. I had told my friend about my experience few weeks ago and was still very fresh in it so I advised him to join me in prayers, but that was equally difficult because we lived in a separate communities but not to far away and the night wasn't safe for moving across those days. We riched an agreement as led by the Spirit of God. It was simply we both needs to pray together every midnight, exactly 12:00am to 3:00pm for 3 days. We both agreed to it, and I assure him that by Wednesday his brother will be released.
He only needed to put alarm on his device to enable him catch-up with time, but I didn't even bother because I know someone was coming to wake me up exactly that time, so I went home to prepare for for the program.

At midnight precisely 12am I got up from sleep and started praying. The first message the holy spirit gave me was the message of agreement. Matt.18.19 - "I also tell you this: If two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.
I made that prayer in faith believing that my friend was also saying the same prayers at that time.

Three points worthy to note in the Holy Spirit driven prayers were:
1. Prayed for the kidnappers to fall into deep sleep

2. God should release heavy rain storm.

3. The victims should be released forth with thunders and lightnings.

We concluded the prayers on the third night, and I told my friend that he should relax because he will hear of a positive news by friday. I remained in my place till Friday evening.

Praise master Jesus…

1. OP, the passage you quoted has absolutely nothing to do with what you pretend. Rather it has to do with witnessing of God's Truth. When two or three are gathered is another way of restating the Law of 2 or 3 witnesses, a law completely removed from what you attempted to use it for here.

As for answers to prayers, God made it abundantly clear in His Word that He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; their every plea/requests are tainted(made unholy) by their sins and as such an abomination to God. And no amount or your prayer and fasting rituals can make an unrighteous man become righteous, not even if death is involved. So, this your idea of a "Holy Spirit driven" prayer is nothing but a lie cooked up in your imagination.

God only answers the prayers of the righteous --- not to be confused with the prayers of the Holy Spirit. And a righteous man in Jesus Christ is one who has sought and found the Kingdom of God (Holiness), in addition to God's Righteousness, and as such has had all other things --- the benefits and blessings of the Kingdom of God(answers to prayers included) -- added onto him as a result.

As for getting healing, God heals even unbelievers who never ask Him for anything. My first healing experience I had while I was still an unbeliever. And there couldn't have been a holy Spirit then since I was not at all holy to begin with. You see God did say He pours out His mercy on even the wicked and the ungrateful every single day. So why do you need to rope the mention of God's Holy Spirit into your experience when unbelievers pretty much experience the same and they don't claim it meant they too have the Holy Spirit?

1. But I never interpret scripture as I instead state what is written as is. So whatever "interpretation" you accuse me of opposing is obviously not mine.

By the way, I don't oppose the Spirit of Truth --- the very Spirit of Jesus Christ. Rather, I oppose the lies you lot throw around His mention.

We concluded the prayers on the third night, and I told my friend that he should relax because he will hear of a positive news by friday. I remained in my place till Friday evening.

On Friday, I visited my friend and was surprised to find him outside sitting exactly on the same place I had meet him last week. He starred long at me, I was a bit worried because he didn't say anything yet. So I asked him what the issue is again this time, his response was " I've been here for an hour waiting for you because I knew you'll come this evening", I responded by inquiring about his brother's welfare.....in his response he told me the brother had called him to inform him about his freedom from the kidnappers, and that they had escaped on Wednesday midnight. So I asked him what actually happened and how the brother escaped.
My friend said: his brother had told him that the whole thing was a set-up by one of them being kidnapped. They were three person's in the vessel before it was apprehended by their abductors, and that one of them was disabled on one leg and it was him who had arranged for their kidnapping. He said on their arrival in the swamp den, they were put in a tached house built with palm branches and we're lying on the cold floor without food or water.

adspelite:
without food or water.

They pretended to be sleeping to evade being beaten and were suprised to see the disabled having a private discussion with one of the kidnappers, that was when they realized it was preplanned. While they were quite they both fell asleep only to be awakened by a strong wind. My friends brother woke up and discovered that the disabled was no longer there with them so he called the other man to wake up. They discovered that their abductors were fast asleep despite that it was already storming. They hurriedly dive into the dark river and swam across to the opposite swamp forest. It was really dark in the swamp, but they were able to see because of the frequent thunder and lightening. The lightening showed them the way while the thunder reminded them to press forward. They moved from one swamp to another crossing about three rivers and knowing not were they were headed to God brought them to a small fishing settlement were the people gave them food, new clothes to put on and also contributed money for their transport.
This went took place in bayelsa state in 2012. My friends name is Collins and his brother whom regained his freedom
is called Warisenibo.

I give all the glory to Jesus for answers to our prayers.

I and my friend had an agreement to pray concerning the freedom from kidnapp of his brother, we listed time and days to pray and God intervened. The brother regained freedom miraculously, that's what I'm talking.

1. Here's the thing, God said He absolutely does not answer prayers said by unrighteous individuals. So while I understand your desire to attribute this to God, you need to be careful you not declare God a liar by your urge. Miracles happen every day even to unbelievers who never pray at all; God rather said that He pours out His kindness daily on the world including the wicked and the ungrateful meaning that the very same miracle you described here God also pours on those who hate Him as well as those who don't even know of Him.

From this we can conclude that you were not in fact saved because of your prayer --- again, God does not anwer the prayers of the unrighteous--- but because God's kindness which isn't dependent on whether a person prayed or not happened to reach you in your need.

To get to where one worships God in Truth and in Spirit, one first has to abandon the lies and accept God's Truth. Light can't coexist with darkness inside of a one; a little lie renders everyone of no value and meaning where God is concerned so the journey towards God is one of abandoning the lies as one accepts instead His Truth.

Ask yourself why my stating the Truth of God leaves you feeling judged. If you are honest with yourself, you will at least admit that it has nothing to do with me as I simply posted here the truth of God.

For someone who pretends to have the Holy Spirit, you know absolutely nothing about the Truth of God or His commandments, do you? You seem to revel in disobedience against God as if it is water for you.

Here is a summary of sorts of some of the New Covenant teachings and commandments given by Jesus Christ where prayer is concerned

---

■ Ask, Seek, and Knock, in order to receive, find and have the door opened to you Matthew 7 vs 7
■ Pray continuously. I.e. don't stop asking, seeking, knocking until you have received, found, and had the door opened to you
Matthew 21 vs 22 & Luke 18 vs 1- 8
■ Avoid vain repetitions because God knows what you want even before you ask Him Matthew 6 vs 7 - 8
■ Always pray in secret and in hiding Matthew 6 vs 6
■ Pray the Lord's prayer-Matthew 6 vs 9- 13
■ Forgive everyone who has hurt or offended you before you pray so your father in Heaven will forgive you your sins- Matthew 11 vs 25 & Matthew 6 vs 12
■ Always approach God in Humility- Luke 18 vs 9 - 4
■ Believe that you have received what you ask for and it shall be done for you Matthew 21 vs 22 & Mark 11 vs 24
■ Ask the Father in the name of Jesus ChristJohn 15 vs 16
■ If you abide in Him and He, Jesus, abides in you, then He, Jesus Christ, will do whatever you ask in His name John 14 vs 13-14 & john 15 vs 7
■ Pray for your enemies - Matthew 5 vs 44 & Luke 6 vs 27- 28
■ Ask God for the Holy Spirit - Luke 11 vs 13 & Matthew 7 vs 11

God does not answer the prayer of sinners, and the prayers of the unrighteous are an abomination to Him. Rather, as Jesus Christ said, those who love Him are, not those who go around mouthing off what they do, but instead, take who submit to and obey His teachings- John 14 vs 23 - 26.. This isn't about attraction at all but instead about the reward of obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the National Constitution in God's special Kingdom of Priests aka the Kingdom of God.
