When Paul was standing in front of King Agrippa, he said the following:
Acts 26:29 – 29 Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”
That just reminded me that we can’t give up on praying for those the Lord has put in our hearts to pray for. There is so much power in prayer as it comes from the Spirit of the Lord.
We are impatient as humans and very often short sighted. There is a lifetime for someone to choose and walk with the Lord. We must continue to keep praying for each other and the lost. How joyous it is when one turns and comes to the Lord.
The most powerful thing in the world is God’s Word. That’s what Jesus kept referencing to Satan when being tempted. It is written. Amazingly to boot, Jesus is the Word.
If we don’t blind ourselves, it is easy to see Prayer working all around us. It’s powerful. More powerful than most of us who are Christians even know. It’s not a genie in a bottle and is not to be used or looked at that way. It is God’s power and needs to be done for His will and our lives in Him. It is His will that none should parish. The reminder today is to pray for those who are lost that he is putting on your heart and pray for those who are struggling also.
