This is perhaps the hardest to explain; although any one else's interpretation would be helpful. I have understood this to mean an unusually strong unction to believe in answers to prayer and in all circumstances trusting God. It would certainly seem that with any other gift maturity and Godly living as well as trying to heed to God's voice could accomplish growth in faith; at least in general. This probably is better understood with itinerant missionaries with limited communications with the outside world; limited funds; resources and food supply available.
The balance has to be with the fact that some individuals CLEARLY have closer; more intimate communication with God; who blesses them so that "men can praise God for their good works" ( Matthew 5:16) while others have the tenacity to seek after Him through persistent prayer. The problem that can arise in BOTH cases is when we get caught up with ourselves. Should a ministry name itself after someone; or an individual be put on a larger than life status then surely that pride leads us to a fall.
Therefore; as with any giftings we all need each other. It is for edification of the Body; hence one person can clearly see how to pray and what to pray; but another has a much clearer picture of the person being lifted up knowing them personally who can shed further light on a situation. So someone mature in faith must be open to someone else praying who the Spirit moves as well as vice versa.
There is also the case of those who are tares among the wheat. If there are those who expouse false doctrines; or are living a lifestyle of unrepentant sin; we are asked if they claim to be Christins not to even sit and eat with them. ( 1 Cor. 5:11). I would say emphatically that we should NOT ask them to pray for us and if they ask politely decline. The demons that are controlling them no doubt will attempt to influence us to follow the same paths to destruction.
