Praying for Salvation of Others

I'm kinda ashamed to say that I never was much of a prayer person. But..

Last week, the sermon at my church was stressing on how important it is to pray for the salvation of unbelievers because we are interceding on their behalf and releasing them from the Devil's clutches. We made a list of ppl around us that needed salvation. I took mine home and stuck it right next to my bed, along with the "I know that you always hear me" sign I made. I prayed faithfully for these ppl's salvations everyday this week.

Today, I received an email from one of them who told me that she wants to make a commitment to go to church every week. She's been the "off and on" type and I was turned down the last time I invited her to church. Well, she said in that email, that she wants to take her spiritual life more "seriously."

Can everyone else say, "Wow" along with me? Praise God, I believe the Holy Spirit is speaking to her! XD XD I'm so happy!

I'll be taking prayers more seriously as well.

Praise God. :)
Pray is great, and he will save our friends to glorify Jesus' Blood. Thanks for sharing that with us.

"Wow!" that sure is great news!
yeah, I keep a list on my calendar for people I need to pray. Er, I've been slacking off, but recently got back into it.

^_____^ I think that is neat that you have a note that says, "I know that You always hear me." What a great idea.

Anyways, prayer does work wonders. Thanks for sharing this with us Mave. *hug*

A little late on the reply but I'm here none-the-less.

I agree. I've been praying for some of my relatives who aren't christians for years. Although nothing has changed yet I still have faith that one day, hopefully they will accept God grace and gift of life. I do the same for all of my friends too. Because prayer can be a very powerful thing. And sometimes, the "devil's clutch" can be very tightly gripped around someone. Prayer may be the thing they need.
But I'm very glad to see your friend wanting to take her spirtical life more seriously. Praise.
