random...


Come on...! We have seen that the land is very good. Aren't you going to do something? Don't hesitate to go there and take it over.... God has put into your hands, a land that lacks nothing whatever. (Judges 18:9-10)

There are active people, who go straight to the battle, and struggle till the setting of the sun. There are passive people, who stand in the middle and simply report the progress of the fight. Yet there are also neuter people - those who can neither fight nor be spectators of the fight but must simply lie down and wait.
Remember, it is Christ himself who says to you, "Sit here." Your place in the garden has also been set apart.

Many of your loved ones have been bound by Satan and imprisoned by him for years, and they are simply waiting for the gates to be opened. They will be set free in Christ when you pray fervently and persistently in faith to God.
Emergencies call for intense prayer. When the person himself becomes the prayer nothing can resist its touch. Elijah bowed to the ground on Mount Carmel with his face between his knees, and he became the prayer.
Spoken prayer is not always needed, for prayer can often be too intense for words.

"Groans that words cannot express" (Rom. 8:26) are often prayers that God cannot refuse. Charles H. Spurgeon
