Week #10 of the Prayer Journal, John 16:24 directs the follower of Christ toward the name of Jesus in our prayer. That the name enables the connection with the Father, through the victory of Jesus on the cross.

We will soon be celebrating the death and resurrection of our Lord in special services that are offered, designed to invite our unchurched friends. May our prayers in the name of Jesus, reach the Father and draw souls to salvation according to John 6:44.

Information about the "underground railroad" that was said to liberate as many as 100,000 people between 1810-1850. Railroad terms were used to describe homes and businesses that provided rest and food as; stations and depots. Those that contributed goods or funds were called; stockholders. Those who moved the hopeful escapees were called; conductors.

In the 1970's-1980's a musical phenomenon emerged that was named, "The Soul Train". The obvious connection to the name, claimed to connect the "soul" to the music and cause movement.

Perhaps we might get on board this Easter season, calling on the Name of Jesus for the souls in captivity. Pray that the Father may draw the lost souls to His saving grace and be responsive to our invitation to the special Easter services. Jesus has place such a high value upon the souls of people. May we be motivated to be a "station" or "depot", a "stockholder" or a "conductor" to some captive.
