#8 Prayer Will Save Others



Dr. R. A. Torrey tells us in his book, what Prayer can do, to "turn to the first epistle of John, chapter five, verse sixteen:  

"If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life to them that sin not unto death."

This is one of the most remarkable statements  in the whole Bible on the subject of prayer and its amazing power.

The statement of this verse is not only most remarkable, it is also most cheering and most gladdening.

God here tells us that prayer will not only bring blessing to the one who prays but that it will bring the greatest of all blessings, even the blessing of eternal life, to others, to those for whom we pray.  

Yes, yes, yes "the supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working," and if we would only pray more and be more sure that we had met the conditions of prevailing prayer, we would see multitudes more of men and women flocking to Jesus Christ."

Let’s pray:  Father, we understand now that we need to pray more often, and to be ready to pray at any moment. Increase our awareness of what it is You want covered in prayer, so Your will can be accomplished. In Jesus' name, amen.

Today’s Scripture when tempted to do wrong, read Psalm 46.

Today’s quote: Julie Ackerman Link –“The fact that God used dust to create humans makes me think twice about labeling someone or something worthless. Perhaps the very thing that I want to get rid of – a person or problem that annoys me – is the artistic medium God has given to display His glory.”


Our thought for today: The secret of successfully walking with God, and to have inner strength, is to be built up by His Word. By hearing Bible preaching, teaching, and our own private study.
