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.
