Pray, pray, and then pray some more!!!

2nd Thessalonians 3:1-2

Finally brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.

Here's a great bit of advice PRAY FOR ME! Pray for us, pray for each other. I pray for you, and you pray for me. It's the way it works. Pray for protection and that the word of the Lord would go forth and accomplish what He has sent it forth to do. We are only stewards of the mysteries of God, but if we don't speak them, how will they hear? Many folks claim to be ready to die for Christ, while they have little desire to live for Him. Besides, you'll know you're ready to die for Christ when that gun is in your face. I've been on trips to Mexico and the military checkpoints can be pretty scary. But if you know why you're there, and Who sent you.......you don't have fear. In fact when you leave, they have smiles on their faces, because the joy of the Lord is your strength. No one has put a gun in my face and asked me to deny Christ or die. But seeing those AK-47s sure makes you think. It sure makes you realize that without being sent, we shouldn't just go on a whim. It had better be God that told you to go. I have a friend who was on a staff in a large church in CA making about $40,000 a year......his wife was in marketing, and was making about double that. God told them to go to Uganda. They quit their jobs and went for a year. They've been back once or twice, but have remained there for the mostpart. When they went there was wars going on over there........uprisings and whatnot. I was concerned for them, but I know my friend. If he said God sent them.......then God sent them. So please remember your brothers and sisters in the faith. Pray for them daily, and pray for your unsaved friends, loved ones, and colleagues from work as well. I've been doing that more and more. And I'm seeing customers of mine come to faith in Christ, and suppliers and competitors as well. It's not about me or what I want, it's all about Him and what He wants. Have a great day and God bless. :-) James
