Insignificant deeds

I Timothy 2:1  "Therefore I exhort FIRST OF ALL that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for ALL MEN..."

Let me tell you about an interesting encounter we had at the checkout stand.  As we paid for our groceries, we had the coins to make the change, but as we sought them the young man in line behind us was much quicker to the draw and supplied the needed nickel.  We began to protest but quieted ourselves swiftly, understanding that God wanted to allow this opportunity of giving on the part of the young man.  We thanked him heartily and went on our way.

As we packed the bags away, he emerged from the store, walked over to us and asked a question.  Following the leading of the Holy Spirit we offered to pray for him, which he accepted with joy.  The Lord led the prayer and there was healing and deliverance in it toward him.  I don't need to go into the specifics, but it was specific to meeting his need and showing him clearly the Lord cared for the hidden things (at least the things he thought were hidden from others, but God knew what they were!) and was deeply concerned about him, loved him and desired blessings to rain down in his life.

When we concluded praying, we hugged all around and sent him on his way with encouragement to contact us and let us know how he was doing, which he promised to do.   I've no doubt we'll hear from him, and that we'll hear of wondrous things God has wrought in his life.  I've no doubt that by the power of the Holy Spirit the Lord will be directing this young mans steps and that dark strangleholds were indeed broken as we prayed, that this young man walks in a new freedom and new sense of who he is in Christ.

Paul goes on to exhort Timothy, and US in I Timothy 2:3 "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior Who desires ALL MEN to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth."

Insignificant acts of obedience in which God is significantly Glorified.  Changing lives one at a time.  Praying for ONE person, reaching out to ONE person, interceding for ONE person in obedience to the Lords word to us is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God and accomplishes HIS PURPOSES.

Reach out to one person, offer to pray with them and watch what God will do!

We pray for all those who will allow us the privilege and would be honored to pray for you.  REQUEST PRAYER  and make your need known.  We'll be praying for you!
