Devotional #29 taken from 1 Peter 3:7 urging us to properly attend our relationships beginning with those nearest us. For those relationships can hinder our prayer life. Please read.
An anonymous testimony resulting from from the Sunday message of the 19th on the priority of prayer began with a question: "What is God asking of you?" God wants His followers to make prayer a priority, for prayer draws us close to God in relationship. We are to pray all kinds of prayers, to include (intercession for others). That sounds like it would include our enemies, for the word "everyone" is used. We are to live Godly, holy lives. Living holy means among other things; to open ourselves for God to pour through us, loosely translated from Frank More. The priority of Jesus is clear; He came to save the lost, and is a saving God. Jesus 'sent' His disciples to declare the message of the truth, that Jesus saves. Jesus is a ransom for all men. He wants all to be saved. The message concluded with, "What is God asking of you? We were invited to pray.
One who went forward to pray for individual souls, felt assured that the Lord heard that prayer for the lost, but felt a stirring in the heart when these words were clearly heard: "put feet to your prayers". The recipient of those words said; that meant, go, share the blessed truth with those named.
