A Truth Misplaced
Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers. (J. Sidlow Baxter)
Do What Works
I was challenged a few weeks ago by a unique question.
If God granted all my prayers tomorrow, how many people would gain eternal life?
My answer was “Very few.” Because I concentrate my salvation prayers on family and friends, those I love the best.
Yet as an ex-atheist, I’m convinced of Jesus’ words in John 6:44.
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me brings them. Then I will raise them up on the last day. (John 6:44 NIRV)
My Spiritual Point
It’s never too late to start over. I honestly believe praying for the lost is essential. I also have faith the Father will answer a prayer so close to His heart. After all, Jesus wants unbelievers saved more than we do. He loves them more deeply too.
Last night, I went to the drug store, then picked up some groceries. While shopping, I prayed salvation for several strangers.. I don’t know their names or spiritual condition.
But He does.
I plan to make this a daily practice. Even if I have to do it afterwards, when I remember.
Let’s join together to change some eternal destinies.
