One. When you think of someone far from God, who’s the first person who comes to mind? Is it a neighbor? Coworker? Parent? No matter...

Tozer says a praying Christian is a threat to satan's government. Our prayers block the enemy's work. If our prayers are that powerful, we might want to change our battle plan.

— Rising early in the morning and praying scripture over our loved ones or spouses.
— Praying throughout the day
— Praying with friends

Tozer says, "the Christian is a holy rebel let loose with access to the throne of God." Our prayers go straight to the throne of God, and Jesus is our access! God has no obligation to hear the prayer of the unsaved. But the believer's prayer goes immediately to God's ears.
Our prayers disrupt the plan of the dark enemy. Let's keep praying. Keep a mental picture of the blockade we can cause by prayer alone to a Holy God!

Hebrews 4:16 - "Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Adrian Rogers says, “Sin will take you further than you want to go, it’ll take you longer than you want to stay, and it will cost you more than you want to pay.”

God would rather forgive than judge. He would rather save than condemn. There is hope for America. The God who took care of Israel so long ago can do the same for America today.
