I have read the bible and know we are going to win, but know
we can lend a hand on the battlefield and play a role in expanding the Kingdom
of God.
The church I attend was good at asking everyone to spread
the word of the upcoming special Christmas Eve service they annually present in
the community. We were asked to give out cards inviting others to the services
and urged to put signs in our yards to promote it.
Most of the men in the groups I hang out with talked
about how difficult it was to ask others to come to church. It is easy to talk
about what is wrong with church, but harder to tell others about the goodness.
Just happened that a local church that is thought of by
many to be a cult recently opened a new church in the neighborhood and their
assembly had very little trouble promoting a free lunch and invitation to tour
the new facility. Invitations were around town at various places and yard signs
could be not be avoided. I was also approached twice face to face.
I went over to the new facility just to see what it was
like inside of their churches. I went through the various side rooms and looked
at numerous displays of all of their works in the community.
Once inside the actual room that they worship in, a voice
inside of me said, “Pray, Pray for them!” Pray, pray just as fast as I could.
That’s what I did!
My friend had the tour guide cornered which freed me up
and I prayed in the mighty name of JESUS over the seats that anyone who might
sit in these seats would come to know the truth about our JESUS. I prayed that
the Holy Spirit would fill that room completely from the new carpet on the
floor to the top of the room and from wall to wall front to back.
I thank JESUS for the opportunity to pray for the people
who might be in that facility in the future. Only our great God knows how far
the ripples will travel.

1:23 (NIV).
