Vignettes on Prayer

 Jan 6 - Vignettes on Prayer

 

      Today I was looking at John 8:32 on how who the Son sets free will be free indeed.  What an amazing thought.  When you are praying for the souls of others you are actually praying for their freedom.  People who do not know the Lord are in bondage and they don’t even know it.  When we pray for the lost we are praying that their eyes would be opened.  That their ears would be unstopped and their heart and minds would be able to receive the truth.  Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Him.  You are praying for liberty and truth.  You are praying for victory.  Prayer is the means to which we will set the captive set free.  We are fighting for souls and their freedom.  This is a noble work.  It is a work of great importance.  You have friends and family who need to be set free.  The only one who can do this is Jesus Christ.  Good thoughts, positive sayings, and clichés will not set a person free.  In spite of the many motivational adages a person cannot set themselves free.  They are bound by sin and only the sin breaker can set them free.  Who the Son sets free is free indeed.  The work of prayer is part of that.  So today pray for the freedom of those you love and care for.  It is a noble and powerful work you are involved in.
