Fighting for Souls (What does that mean?)

I entitled this blog fighting for souls because thats exactly what we're doing. I created this blog to express the passion that God has instilled inside my heart for his people and his church. Every so often I weep for not only my sins, but for the sins of those around me. A couple of times a month I'll post a blog with a prayer request attached to the end of it, because I believe that any battle, no matter the depth, can be won through prayer. I love my friends but I know that God loves them beyond my comprehension. Theres a sense of urgency in the air. God has been calling them and I can feel it. The Lord has been directing their lives and they can't even see it, but I can.The conversion of the apostle Paul in Acts 9 continues to inspire me. I'm delighted to know that God uses broken, sinful people as myself to be his hands and feet, but first he orchestrates an encounter, and after an encounter with Jesus Christ I find it impossible that any man would be able to walk away unchanged. Sometimes I speak to a lost soul only to realize that I'm actually staring at a reflection of myself before I came to the throne. Before I had this inner peace that feels so mysteriously divine. Before I discovered that the will for my life was embedded in the sacred words of THE LIVING GOD. Now I grieve, now I weep, and now I strive to live for everyone but myself. Last month as I went off to an isolated place to pray the word of God spoke to my heart. James 5:16 NIV says, "Therefore confess you sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. THE PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN IS POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE." After I read it I thought, "If the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective, then how effective is the prayer of a man with hidden or even exposed sin"? Probably not effective at all right? Therefor I search my own heart before I petition The Lord in order that my intercession may reach Gods ears without blemish. Bottom line is this: People are dying without knowing Jesus and I can't save them, be he can, so I pray constantly and diligently seek spiritual possibilities. Sooo, I'm going to end this post with a prayer request, Thank You and may God be with you all.

Trevor knows that he's being spoken to, but he hasn't been able to come to a point where he wants to put his future in God's hands. I love him and I've been asking God to show him that financial prosperity is meaningless.

PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO TREVOR IN A UNDENIABLE WAY.

THANK YOU!
