SHARING YOUR BURDEN.
Good day brothers and sisters, a little thought here!
Have you met someone who you shared a problem with and they offered to pray for or with you about the problem? If you have, most of the problem is solved if your friend can pray to God about a similar problem concerning his or herself and believe God for the answer without resorting to fleshly "abracadabra".
The catch here is: Can that friend have the same problem you are faced with and go to God for himself or herself and stand solely on God's word? If the answer is yes, then you are in good company. If the answer is no, then you better save yourself the anxiety and stress and get yourself into the word of God for yourself and talk to God for yourself. It doesn't matter if that friend is an "MOG" or "WOG".

If the friend is an "MOG/WOG" and solves his/her problems by announcing them for the congregation to "be led" to fix the problem, that is not believing God! Believing God is talking to God based on His word and expecting Him to solve your problem without putting anyone on a guilt trip.
That is not to say the "MOG/WOG" cannot ask the congregation to help them based on pure motives and is very different from "using" God (and His word) as leverage on the congregation to solve the "MOG's/WOG's" personal problems.
You stand on the scriptures of Matthew 18:19 when you both believe alike; not if the other fellow doesn't believe it for his or herself .
Psalms 121:1-2;
1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.....
