Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 2:41

Mission of 1000 Souls

1000 Souls was birthed out of time alone with my Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ. During some time alone with Him one day I became burdened with a commission to pray and in some way participate in His glorious salvation of 1000 souls. I began to compile a written list of people for whom I wanted to pray and asked that He continue to give me new souls to for which to intercede. One day after I had been blogging for a while at One Sacrifice For All Time, I thought it would be wonderful to provide a public place to lift these people up to the Lord and allow His miracle working power to be seen before all men. I invite you to join me by leaving a comment at any time with the initials of souls for which you are currently praying to our Lord. Let's intercede; No, let's beg together for those who are perishing.

Father,

It is with fear and trembling that I boldly enter into Your presence on behalf of the souls on this blog and around the world who are currently in the grips of our great enemy. Father, Your Word promises me that if I ask anything according to Your will that You will hear my prayer and grant my request. Father, I aslo know that Your Word says that You are not willing that ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that ALL should come to repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ. Father, this goes beyond simply reciting a prayer or making a mental decision. I am asking based upon Your Holy Word that each and every soul that is represented on this blog and that happens upon this blog will have an encounter with the One and True Living ALMIGHTY GOD that is so real that it brings them to their knees in repentance seeking mercy. Father, I do not want to pray for more false converts, but rather that true repentance will sweep the land and lost souls will be rescued from everlasting fire and damnation. It is in Your Holy Name and by Your Holy Power that I declare war against the enemy of their souls and boldly ask that You answer the prayer of Your daughter who is only burdened for them because You have chosen to burden me!

Praise be to Your Holy
Name for what You will do through this blog. I love, worship, and honor You
forever and always.

Amen

1000 Souls



Last year I started a page in my prayer journal titled, "1000 Souls" with the intention of listing the names of 1000 people that I know need salvation and praying for them at least weekly. I must confess at this point only consists of 54 names, but I can praise the Lord that I could remove one of them as salvation has occurred for them. PTL!!

I have decided to extend my prayer challenge to my friends in the blog world. I believe that prayer is a very misunderstood AND UNDERUTILIZED aspect of the Christian life. I by no means am an "expert" in prayer, which is exactly why I am qualified to talk about it. Jesus said that we were not to pray as the hypocrites with big words and lengthy phrases, but rather in plain speech with a humble worshipful heart; a heart that believes that the One to whom we pray both hears us and WILL ANSWER us.



"This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him." 1 John 15:14-15


My purpose as stated at the top of this blog is this: I want honor my Lord by providing a place to publicly display His Power and the Power that exists through prayer and praying for the salvation of others. I to invite you all to participate in my "1000 Souls" prayer by commenting and leaving the initials of someone you know that needs salvation. Please be sensitive to the public nature of our relationship; you might even want to sign it anonymously.

Secondly, I plan to write a post (hopefully weekly) with regard to prayer and what the Lord has taught me, and I invite you to share prayer requests each week either for yourself and/or family and friends. Feel free to leave additional names for salvation each week as well. If you really feel led to do so, I also invite you to post what the Lord has done in your life through prayer and link your post back here to my site with Mr. Linky. If you should choose to write at your blog, I ask that you invite others to participate here in the "1000 Souls" so as to magnify the ability to pray for the salvation of as many people as possible. I have no problem with renaming it "10,000 Souls" should the Lord so bless it.
