Today’s Prayer (11/18/2020)

Oh Lord, I pray that people will humble themselves before You. That they would not allow the temptations of the devil to turn their hearts against You. The evil one knows exactly what causes a person to stumble, so unless they are born again, then they will continue to be afflicted. So I pray that people will turn to You for salvation. That they will be baptized and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Only then can they be led by Your hand and not by their own fleshly desires. Our flesh is weak when we are living this life alone, but made strong when You have a hand in it. And concerning people who continue to hang out with friends that are not in the faith, this is only going to cause them to stumble. Unless You are with them, leading by example in Your light, these same people will eventually fall by way of the darkness that their friends are leading them in. Even will they cause them to sin and also justify their actions. For they may say that they are young and have a right to experience life. Later they can repent. And again, so many people think this way, as did the prodigal son. However, praise God that he returned to his father before it was too late. As for other people who procrastinate their day of repentance, most often this is forgotten and they get so consumed with the life they are living that it never comes. Only people who continue to hear Your Word and allow You to come into their lives are saved. For only by allowing You to do a work in their lives are there fruits that are made evident. So it is my prayer that people remember You in their everyday lives. That they will continue to pray often, read and study the Bible daily, and seek and do Your will. This will lead them unto salvation. I love You, Lord. I give You glory and praise. Amen.

Luke 8:15-18

Luke 8:15-18 (KJV)
15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

Four Different Types of People

What type of person are you? Are you saved and are bringing forth fruits based on your faith? That is the only way salvation comes.
