And-"SINNERS!" It's interesting and true that..."You can't become one without the other."
"For God so loved the world (you & me), that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
"Every saint has a past; every sinner has a future."

Like a prayer
The poem attached to this photo is beautiful! Check it out and let it sink into your soul. Then apply what the scripture tell us about prayer.
"Pray without ceasing." ( I Thessalonians 5:17)
"The value of prayer is not that He will hear us, but that we will hear Him." -William McGill-

STRONG + WEAK = EQUALIZATION
Today has been one of great joy, but many tears. My soul has been overwhelmed within me for those who have not answered the Savior's calling to "Come to me." In today's worship service, I learned what it really means to" pray through."
The sermon was strongly intensified with the truth from the scriptures coming forth. Everyone in the sanctuary was touched by the message. Ones who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior looked inward and searched to draw nearer to Him. And, ah yes! There were those who made the decision to invite Him to become LORD of their lives.
As the altar call went forth, I found myself praying for a new soul who recently came to my church. I kept my eyes closed as I prayed that she would make the choice to come. I told the Lord that I know it is His desire that all would come to Him. I just continued to pray for her salvation and giving God the praise. Just at the moment I felt the unction to open my eyes, there only steps from me was that young lady. I began to walk towards her and placed my arms around her. In loving words and my tears mingled with hers, I was enabled by the Holy Ghost, to help her decide to give her life to Jesus.
