Praying for Salvation of Others

Postby Mave » Sat Oct 09, 2004 9:56 am

I'm kinda ashamed to say that I never was much of a prayer person. But..

Last week, the sermon at my church was stressing on how important it is to pray for the salvation of unbelievers because we are interceding on their behalf and releasing them from the Devil's clutches. We made a list of ppl around us that needed salvation. I took mine home and stuck it right next to my bed, along with the "I know that you always hear me" sign I made. I prayed faithfully for these ppl's salvations everyday this week.

Today, I received an email from one of them who told me that she wants to make a commitment to go to church every week. She's been the "off and on" type and I was turned down the last time I invited her to church. Well, she said in that email, that she wants to take her spiritual life more "seriously."

Can everyone else say, "Wow" along with me? Praise God, I believe the Holy Spirit is speaking to her! XD XD I'm so happy!

I'll be taking prayers more seriously as well.

"Wow!" that sure is great news!
yeah, I keep a list on my calendar for people I need to pray. Er, I've been slacking off, but recently got back into it.
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!

^_____^ I think that is neat that you have a note that says, "I know that You always hear me." What a great idea.

Anyways, prayer does work wonders. Thanks for sharing this with us Mave. *hug*

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

A little late on the reply but I'm here none-the-less.

I agree. I've been praying for some of my relatives who aren't christians for years. Although nothing has changed yet I still have faith that one day, hopefully they will accept God grace and gift of life. I do the same for all of my friends too. Because prayer can be a very powerful thing. And sometimes, the "devil's clutch" can be very tightly gripped around someone. Prayer may be the thing they need.
But I'm very glad to see your friend wanting to take her spirtical life more seriously. Praise.
