Forward Praying

"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word" (John 17:20).

When I see someone wearing a cross, I often ask, "I noticed the cross you're wearing. May I ask what it means to you?"

I've found that 95% of the people I've asked wear a cross as a keepsake. It was a gift from somebody special, like a mother or grandmother. So when I share my faith with them, I know I that I am answering the gift-giver's prayers!

Did you know that God is working on future results based on today's prayers?

When you pray, heaven's wheels start turning! The process of answering your prayers has already begun. God is always putting the people-puzzle together to bring the greatest glory to His name in answer to your prayers.

So who are you praying for and believing that the answer is coming? Let's keep praying for those who WILL BELIEVE through someone's witness. And best of all, you can be an answer to someone's prayers. You may never know how you fit into God's puzzle until you get to heaven.

That's when we'll experience a great celebration when we see the effects of our prayers and our witness! Let's be an answer to someone's prayers.

Let's pray forward!
