Putting the Message Into Practice

Although I work really hard to make sure that I draw relevant applications from the passage each week, I really want to encourage all of us to put into practice the applications from Revelation 9. When we see what happens to those who harden their hearts as they consistently refuse to respond to God, I pray that it will give us all a great sense of urgency about praying for the salvation of others and sharing our faith with them as God gives us opportunities.
So let's all commit to pray every day this week for someone that we personally know who needs to commit his or her life to Jesus. Ask God to draw that person to Him and also to use us in the process of sharing the gospel in that person's life. I'm convinced that is a prayer that God will delight in answering.

Thanks Pastor Pat. It is always good to get a reminder of the urgency, coupled with intercessory prayer. The exciting part is that when we pray for others, many times God chooses to use us in the carrying out of His will, answering the prayer. I have already had a long time friend on my mind this week that I have lost touch with. I don't know how God can use me "long distance" but I can rest assured He is working... and it's an exciting adventure to see how.
Monty,
Some very insightful comments...
I usually see the two people that I am praying for at least a couple of times each week. But when I prayed for them every day last week, I didn't run into them even once. But I just have to trust that God will bring them into my life again in His perfect timing. I just want to make sure I'm ready to be used by God when that happens.
