What does it really mean to pray for one another? In this Bible study from 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12, we explore the Apostle Paul’s deep desire that believers would be made worthy of their calling, fulfill every godly desire, and carry out works of faith empowered by God’s strength. Drawing comparisons from the strange practices of the South Pacific cargo cults to the modern distortions of the prosperity gospel, we are reminded that true spiritual growth and fruitfulness come not through material gain, but through sanctification, obedience, and prayerful dependence on God.
