It is our responsibility as Christians to tell people about the Lord. We have the answer and today there is a generation who are not being taught about Jesus.
SOS Events volunteers notice it more and more at events. Young people have not heard about Jesus death, burial and resurrection.
This weekend is a great opportunity to witness to children and teens. Don’t miss it. When they come to your door for Trick or Treat give them something that is worth more than candy. Put a tract in their bag.
There is something else you can do. Pray for SOS Events volunteers as they are at many events throughout the USA today and tomorrow. People need the Lord.
Does your Pastor preach what you want to hear, or does he tell you something that may make you a little angry because of your sin. Pray he has boldness to speak the truth.
We desperately need revival. It starts with you and me. Pray for the men in the pulpit who have the influence to start revival. Pray also, that if there are false ministers in your church that God will remove them or that you will see and move where the Holy Spirit leads you.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 – For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
If you have a Pastor who preaches truth from God’s Word, is not afraid to tell of the sin that may be in your life, warns of evil that may entice you to sin, be thankful. Pray for him that he will have the power of the Holy Spirit, that he will not be afraid of offending someone when he is bold to tell the truth.
Encourage him with a kind word or send him a note once in awhile. Tell him you are praying for him and appreciate what he does.
1 Timothy 5:17 – Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Hebrews 13:17 – Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Do you ever feel like your prayers do not go any farther than the ceiling?
That is not true. God’s Word tells us He hears and answers our prayer.
But, our prayers can be hindered by several things, sin in our lives, unbelief, trying to get the answer ourselves, disobedience and not waiting are just a few things that may hinder our prayers.
The secret is in this verse. Love the Lord. The closer we are to Him, the more our prayers will be in line for His will for us.
I asked GOD for strength, that I might achieve I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health, that I might do greater things I was given infirmity, that I might do better things. I asked for riches, that I might be happy I was given poverty, that I might be wise. I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of GOD. I asked for all things , that I might enjoy life I was given life,that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing I asked for —– But everything I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were Answered I am among all people, most richly blessed.
God gave us the Pastor of our church to help us get through hard times. The Pastor officiates at our wedding, celebrates the birth of our children, prays with us in sickness and sorrows, and at the death of a loved one.
All the time having the same problems we have in his own family. He needs our prayers. Take a few minutes and pray for him today.
Pray he will have power of the Holy Spirit to preach the truth. Pray he will not be distracted by people or circumstances. Pray God will comfort him as he has the burden of his own but also takes the burdens of his whole congregation.
Most of all do not have roast preacher for lunch. Do not talk negatively about him or his family. Let us love our Pastor and show him our appreciation.
Times now are uncertain. The news is full of gloom and doom. Weather disasters, Covid-19, Afghanistan, Government scandals, Deaths. It seems hopeless, but as Christians, we have a SAVIOR, JESUS.
In GOD’s Word are many promises. The present may be hard but we have a glorious future to look forward to.
What can we do now? Pray for those who are hurting that you know personally. Pray for families who have lost loved ones in the military. Pray for our leaders in government that have to make decisions. Pray for the Lord to give you peace and comfort.
