Earnest Prayer Warriors

Earnest Prayer Warriors by Keith Cook

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16

People in the United States, France, Philippines, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Indonesia, Iraq, and all over the world need to know that the Lord is with them, and He will continue to be with them if they will stand up for what is right.

Regardless of where you live, if you will stand up and be counted as a child of God, as one who has given your life to Jesus Christ, the Lord has promised you His protection. The Bible says that there may be times when no one else will stand with you. But in those times you can trust the Lord and know that He is standing with you and will enable you to obey Him.

Right now, those of us who are Christians have a wonderful opportunity to pray. Not just passively pray, but to get excited about what is going on in our nation and around the world. You and I can pray that we will begin to grasp some of the truths God has for us in these last days and do something. There have been a number of times throughout history when it seemed like all of God's people had either turned away or otherwise disappeared. But, in the Bible it says that God has always preserved a remnant, a small group of faithful followers, of proactive Christians, who are earnestly praying and working to the last moment of their lives for Jesus.
