Pray for Souls

Pray for souls-you have not because you ask not!

Pray for souls
Plant the seed
Pick the fruit

"You do not have because you do not ask" James 4:2. That, dear people, is the Word of God. Most do not have souls, because they never ask! Doesn't that add up?

First of all
"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men" 1 Tim 2:1. At my age, I am staggered, stupified, stunned at how we do not do what we are told by ALMIGHTY GOD. Pray for all men! "All men." That is six and one half BILLION people. Pretty important, I would say. What do you pray for them? "Who desires all men to be saved " Vs. 4. You pray for them to be saved. Doesn't that make sense? And when you do, you then have a part in every person who gets saved that day! WOW. That is pretty big and important praying.

Jesus did
"I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word" John 17:20. Jesus prayed for the lost! Not only that but He laid down his life for them, "I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also" Jn. 10:16.

Paul did
"Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation" Rom. 10:1. God said, "Pray for all men" all six billion. Jesus prayed for the billions who had not even been born yet. Paul prayed for "all Israel" and that is billions more. Do you get the picture? Some say, "Don't bunch everybody up, but pray for individuals".  The truth is, we must do BOTH.

Pray for souls
We pray for God to give us so many THINGS. Soul winners pray for souls. I do, every day. "You do not have because you do not ask." It really does make a difference. Keep on asking, the two parables in prayer Luke 11 and 18 teach us.

Father, help each one of Your children to begin by praying for souls like You told us to do. Then help us to plant seed with the results of souls being led to Christ by each of us. In Jesus name.

Oh, dear people you too can win souls. There is nothing greater, more lasting, more rewarding you will ever do. I implore you to stick with us and do what the Word of God says. I LOVE YOU, all because of Calvary, Sumner
