Re: POWER of PRAYER- No Matter Which Faith You Follow=GOD is With You
Are You Ready?
"Then Paul answered, 'What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.'" - Acts 21:13
Paul and those traveling with him came to the home of Philip the Evangelist in Caesarea. While staying with Philip, several warned Paul that he would be bound in Jerusalem, including Agabus, who demonstrated what would happen to Paul. Upon hearing these warnings, Luke and some locals at Philip's home begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. Paul responded that he was ready and willing to be bound and even to die in Jerusalem in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Are you ready to do something in the name of the Lord Jesus? We hear followers of Jesus say they are willing to do something for Him even if they risk being sent to jail. However, many who say this fail to be witnesses right where they are today. Are you ready to share the gospel and be light for Jesus wherever you go today? Ask the Lord to prepare your heart for intentional conversations as you go out today to work, the grocery store, the park, or the home of a friend or family member. The Lord may also send you into unfamiliar territory today to do something for Him.
Make the decision today to say, "Yes. I am ready and willing to share the Good News of Jesus right where I live!"
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us the Great Commission to go and tell others about You. Lord, I ask that You make our hearts tender to be bold witnesses for Your name's sake. Lord, send us out to go and share Jesus with others, no matter the cost. Thank You for this work that is done through the Holy Spirit as we exercise obedience and go and tell others about You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
