About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"PRAYER, IT REALLY DOES WORK" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
PRAYER, IT REALLY DOES WORK
DO YOU EVER GET THOSE SPIRITUAL EMAILS THAT SAY TO PASS IT ON IF YOU ARE NOT ASHAMED OF JESUS? SOME OF THEM GO ON TO QUOTE THE SCRIPTURE MARK 8:38 WHERE IT SAYS "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed , when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." WHY WOULD ANYONE, ESPECIALLY A FRIEND, THINK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SHAME US INTO FORWARDING SOMETHING ABOUT JESUS? DON'T THEY KNOW US? WHEN I GET THESE EMAILS, I JUST ERASE THAT PORTION BEFORE I SEND IT ON.
LET ME MENTION ONE MORE THING ABOUT BEING ASHAMED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ASHAMED WHEN IT COMES TO MENTIONING JESUS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE. THEY WILL FORWARD EMAILS ABOUT HIM WHILE THEY ARE SITTING BEHIND THEIR COMPUTERS BUT WHAT ABOUT OUT IN PUBLIC? WOULD THEY OPENLY PRAY FOR SOMEONE IN THE GROCERY STORE IF THAT PERSON REALLY NEEDED PRAYER AND ASKED THEM TO? WOULD YOU? A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE. I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST AN EXCUSE AND THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY OR THINK ABOUT THEM. WOULD THEY RATHER OFFEND JESUS? I THINK THAT IS WHAT IT WOULD BE AND FOR ALL THAT HE HAS DONE FOR US....I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
ONE LAST THING THIS MORNING. IF SOMEONE ASKS YOU TO PRAY FOR THEM, DON'T JUST SAY YOU WILL AND THEN FORGET IT. SOME PEOPLE SAY "OH, YES I WILL" JUST TO GET THEM TO SHUT UP AND MOVE ON. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS HARSH BUT THAT IS WHAT IT IS. IF SOMEONE ASK YOU FOR PRAYER, PLEASE PRAY FOR THEM. YOUR PRAYER COULD JUST SAVE THEIR LIFE. I WOULD NOT WANT TO STAND BEFORE GOD WITH THAT ON MY HEART.
LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH THIS SCRIPTURE ABOUT PRAYER. IT IS JAMES 5:15-16 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
PRAYER REALLY WORKS AND THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS IN 1ST THESSALONIANS 5:17 TO "Pray without ceasing." FRIENDS, I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO DO BUT PRAY AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN IF IT IS ONLY THANKING HIM FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS. PRAYER DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ASKING FOR SOMETHING. SOME OF MY BEST PRAYERS ARE JUST SITTING WITH HIM, PRAISING HIM AND LISTENING.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
