Without the Prayer Work Being Done, Evangelism Will Not be Effective (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #92)

Summary: Our prayer motivator verse for today is Psalm 10:17, which reads: "LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear." <br><br> Our thought for today is that prayer should be a purposeful, meaningful matter in our lives. <br><br> Our prayer motivator quote for today is from E.M. Bounds. He said, "It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing." <br><br> Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled WITHOUT THE PRAYER WORK BEING DONE, EVANGELISM WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE from J. Gordon Henry: <br><br> One very practical approach in praying for the lost is to choose five unsaved persons represented by the five fingers of your left hand and another five who will be represented by the fingers of your right hand. Pray for these every day following the ideas that we discussed in previous broadcasts. When one gets saved, replace that person with someone else. Know that it is the will of God that each of these persons be saved. Pray against Satan, to the Saviour, and for the saints. <br><br> It is sad to note that there are saved people living with unsaved people under the same roof --- often members of the same family and no one is praying for those lost people. Remember that if you are not praying for your children and grandchildren, no one else is. If you have lost your burden because of the pressures all around you and the pull of this earth, take this matter directly to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. He will deal with it and make things different. <br><br> The work most needed is prayer work. Unless the prayer work is done, evangelism will make little difference. In fact, it is safe to conclude that it is possible to contact face to face every individual in a county or city with a gospel witness and see nothing happen if the prayer work is not done. MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT CLEARLY TEACH EACH OF US THE NEEDED TRUTHS WHICH WILL RESULT IN OUR GIVING MUCH TIME TO PRAY FOR THE LOST! <br><br> + Plus, listen to CeCe Winans singing "Anybody Wanna Pray?"
