Are CHRISTIANS being called upon to expand their prayers?Could the Lord be exposing dire needs from around the world and...while sounding a clarion call for believers to expand their prayer effort?
Is it possible the media is one method used to inform Christians as to who and what to pray for at home and around the world?
Is it time for believers to broaden their prayer life to include other nations?
Have we focused our prayers for too long on our small group?
Does God desire for us, as believers, to direct more energy in prayer towards the survival and salvation of people and children in every nation?
Am I wearing blinders, so that I only see what is directly in front of me?
As I view concerns and events from around the world I am convinced that we as believers have been focused on a small world. Often, as church members, we live and function within our four walls. We have placed great emphasis on the color of carpet, or whether sister or brother so-and-so shook our hand, or complaints of the music being too loud or not loud enough, or whether the message was good or not so good...and the list goes on...and on...and o - n ...
IS IT TIME TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT OUR WORLD....and view people and their situation as God sees them? Yes, it is.
Indeed, Yes, it is time.
FOR EXAMPLE:
IN MOROCCO: an average of 24 children are abandoned every day. 80% of their orphans grow up to be delinquents... 10% commit suicide...10% become productive members of society. MUSLIM control won't allow adoption to a non-muslim. The government of Spain has established a "control mechanism" that will enable Moroccan religious authorities to monitor the adopted children until they reach the age of 18 to ensure they have NOT Converted to Christianity. PRAY FOR CHILDREN EVERYWHERE!
CHRISTIANS are in danger in every Muslim nation. MOCKERY of Christianity is obvious in our own nation. PRAY FOR OUR NATION TO RETURN TO GOD.
ISRAEL lives tense with the threat of bombs on a daily basis. PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
PASTOR SAEED ABEDINI is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence in Iran's notorious Evin Prison. PRAY FOR HIS RELEASE.
JIHAD is at work in every nation. PRAY FOR MUSLIM SALVATIONS.
PRAY FOR REVIVAL and a manifestation of God to occur around the world.
People of other nations are dependent on our prayers. God has commissioned us to GO AND PRAY.
The power of prayer has yet to be fully realized by most of us. WHAT could change, WHO might be affected, WHERE can our prayers reach... once we determine to focus on that need, that nation, and that person?
IF PRAYERS CONTINUE then PRAYER RESULTS CONTINUE. Your prayers can be felt around the world. There's no limit to the power of God and His ability to answer an earnest prayer. God does not TIRE of answering prayers!
I believe it is time to be in the know - and it is time to expand our prayers to include other countries. Lives depend on it.
What an honor bestowed upon us by a Loving and Caring God. Oh, that Jesus Christ be exalted around the world.
