I have a brother who i sometimes meet for prayer, and now this man asked me to come along to pray for a man who they suspect have problems with a spirit/demon.And this person have asked for prayer. Now since i know nothing of this other man or his problems and that i consider my self quite new in the faith, and also i have no idea why he asked me except another older brother said he wanted me to follow with them, i said i would pray about it and give my answer later, they have talked with this man and he is a friend of one of these men for 30 years back. Now what hinders me i don't know exactly. Maybe because i have no experience in this kind of praying, and i guess i wont get any if i don't start...im just hesitating for some reason, another thing is i feel well cant really say no to pray for someone? i do long to See God moving and working. I know i myself can do nothing...only Jesus, but should i go??? what do you say?thankful for advice and scriptures....Christian

Jeanette offers some good advice. It's always the will of God that whatever we set our hand to do He will prosper it(the ways of righeousness that is), however at times the LORD will direct otherwise. You may be ready to cast out a devil, but the LORD may intervene and give you a different approach. His ways are not our ways and He never does the same thing exactly twice, it's always different. I would go as a praying participant and observing what is going on and not to be hasty about anything unless called upon.As Jeannette said:
Have you asked the person who invited you to pray why he feels you are the one to ask? Has the LORD told him you are the one for the job? If so then you have no more excuses!
