Time For Prayer

Acts 26:18, To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.

2 Chronicles 7:14, If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Prayer is talking to God about our problems, wants, and whatever else is on our minds. Prayer is also about thanking and praising God for all of His blessings in our lives. It is an intimate time with our Lord.

Prayer is not just for us, it is our duty to pray for others as well. Everyone cannot preach to millions of people about Jesus. We can however, ask God to open hearts and minds of people everywhere. Prayer for others is one of the most powerful of prayers because we are not just thinking about ourselves.

As you probably know, there are hundreds of millions of lost people in the world. They do not know Jesus, and don't want to know Him. They are currently living in darkness. By praying for these people, many will come into the light of Jesus, and be saved.

People in power, especially many of those in government and the media, abuse their power through hate speech, lies, and corruption. They practice evil, and lead others to do the same. Their goal seems to be to block God out of our lives. They don't seem to realize that they have that power from God. They will be held responsible for everything they do.

The verses we started with are the words of God, and like all of God's word they are absolutely true. You and I have a responsibility to pray and set an example for others. We are supposed to reflect Jesus light in this dark world.

Remember this, no amount of darkness can put out the light of a single match. Jesus always prayed to His Father. Through acceptance of Jesus as our Savior, His Father becomes our Father too. I would like to add one more thing. When Jesus spoke to His Father about anything, the Holy Spirit manifested whatever Jesus wanted. A classic example is when Jesus spoke to His Father just before He raised Lazarus from the dead. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus Loves You

Prayer of Salvation

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Savior. I want to serve only you. 

Praise The Lord!

Amen
