The only thing I have

It's hard to carry a burden in your heart for people you cannot reach.

But When prayer becomes the only thing you have, The only means you have, You can't help but realize it's power and significance in the lives of those you are praying for.

We as Christians have the beautiful gift and freedom of being able to boldly approach our great High Priest at the throne of grace when we are in need (and even when we aren't!)...but how often are we bringing the needs of others before him? How often are we bringing their deepest need of salvation before the Savior?

If we have this freedom, should we not extend it on behalf of others who don't yet know it for themselves? 

When we intercede - pray intently for those who need Jesus - I believe our faith moves mountains, that the eye could never see, in a calloused, broken, lost, and seemingly hopeless heart.

An interceding prayer of faith so terrifies the Enemy, making him shudder and cower in fear when the name and blood of Jesus is claimed and proclaimed over a beloved soul who he thought would always be within his grasp...



I truly believe intentional, intercessory prayer is a catalyst that compels the Holy Spirit to begin His work in those He so deeply desires to rescue...






Loosen the grip of the Enemy today...




My brethren, the desire of my heart and my petition before God is on their behalf that they would have LIFE.  
-Romans 10:1
