"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us not because of works done by us in righteousness but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." Titus 3:4-7
Dear prayer partners,
Such rich wording for those of us who follow Jesus, for those who the blood of Jesus has washed us and made us clean. BUT for thousands and millions... yes millions... around us, they do not know this mercy, grace, this hope that those of us who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb have in our lives. Therefore, I plead with you, that as we have this awesome grace and mercy upon us and the millions around us do not yet know, that we would be on our knees praying for God to remove the blinds from the PB eyes. Have you grown tired knocking on the door of God asking for the salvation of the PB people? Persevere, dear friend. Let us not grow weary on asking our Lord God to redeem these people. Let our "impudence" or "persistence" cause the Father to answer our prayers (Luke 11:5-13). Keep asking.
Please join us in falling on faces before the Lord God for the salvation of millions of PB peoples. Praying that they too would know the joy of reading the rich words in Titus, that God desires to save them not because of their works but according to His mercy and grace. The PB peoples coming to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is only part of the prayer, but that they would taste and see that the Lord is good and that they will follow Him all the days of their lives, including to go, disciple, and baptize and teach others to obey all that God commands (Psalm 34:8, John 12:26, Matthew 28:19-20).
"For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation for all people..." Titus 2:11
-- bring it to the PB peoples, O Lord --
