“Prayer is the most unexplored area of the Christian life. A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men.”
Leonard Ravenhill

James 5:16
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.
Adrian Rogers Quote: “The same Jesus Who turned water into wine can transform your home, your life, your family, and your future. He is still in the miracle-working business, and His business is the business of transformation.”

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world:but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
World conditions are heating up, especially in the Middle East. Christians persecuted, wars and trouble in the USA. Usually, we would not put world problems on the blog but this is a call to PRAYER.
Whatever your political views, as Christians we need to pray for our country, the President and the leaders of other nations and our brothers and sisters in Christ who are caught in the middle of the conflicts.
Join with us in prayer that The Lord’s will be done. True peace only comes through Jesus Christ.
1 Timothy 2:1-2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.
Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary!
Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!
“At Calvary” is the testimony of its author William Newell. He was a rebellious teenager and his father was desperate. His father wrote to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago begging the president of the college to allow William to attend.
On one condition, that William meet with the president daily. With much prayer by both the father and president, William’s life turned around and he later became a pastor, evangelist and popular conference speaker. Never forgetting his wonderful transformation he wrote this beautiful hymn.
Luke 23:33
And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him….
Pray daily. Prayer is simply talking to God. You don’t have to use big fancy words. There are no right and wrong words. Just be yourself. Give thanks to the Lord daily for your salvation. Pray for others in need. Pray for direction. Pray for the Lord to fill you daily with His Holy Spirit. There is no limit to prayer. You can pray with your eyes closed or open, while sitting or standing, kneeling or lying on your bed, anywhere, anytime. So begin to make prayer a part of your daily routine.
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks:for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”

This week SOS Events is participating in a Christian Conference held in Saint Petersburg, Fl. Prayer is needed as pastors and laymen walk by our booth that they may see the need to evangelize in the marketplace.
Most people will not come to a gospel preaching church if they are not saved and we need to go to them.
The time is short!! Everyday we see that maybe soon we as Christians will not have the freedom to be in public places to proclaim the gospel.
The group that is in St. Pete this week could make a difference all over the country if they would just get a vision of the lost souls in America.
Please pray with us for new commitments this week.
John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:the night cometh, when no man can work.
“I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.”
~ Ronald Reagan
Pray for our country. We need to get back to honoring God.
Psalms 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;
and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
Answered prayer. SOS has been praying for a long time for some Hispanic people to join with us to win souls especially in Florida where there is a big Spanish population. On Saturday a Pastor and his wife of a Hispanic church in Lakeland came and worked in the booth at Auburndale. They are pictured here with 2 of the six converts. We are praising The Lord for answered prayer.
Please continue to pray with us that more Christian people from the Spanish community will join with SOS as there are many more opportunities available.
Alice Thomas has been a volunteer with SOS for several years and now The Lord has called her to come full time as a missionary with the ministry. She will be working in the office when needed, train new workers, present the ministry at churches and work with a team at various events to win people to The Lord. Today she will lead the team at the Farmers Market in Plant City, Florida. Please pray for her as her responsibilities increase with SOS. Today pray for a harvest of souls in Plant City. Most of the attendees are
Hispanics and Alice and team speak English only so it is a challenge every Wednesday but God can do the impossible.
Mark 10:27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
