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

Make Me a Channel of Blessing

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?

Refrain

Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying,
The Savior Who died on the cross?

Refrain

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the Word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?

Refrain

We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.

Refrain

Father God,

As you have led me to these old hymns and lyrics, I am convicted, humbled, burdened, and challenged by their words. Father, I pray that you would make me a channel of blessing to others. What a glorious privilege it is that we have to be part of your work here on earth. Too often we shy from it; wincing in the light and scurrying back to darkness for fear of personal rejection. Father, please forgive me personally for all of those times. Father, please have mercy on ALL of us collectively in the body of Christ for falling victim to satan's schemes. Forever burn on our retinas the image of lost souls eternally burning in hellfire and brimstone that we might not be insensitive to their plight. Father, please convict us of unknown sin in our lives that we might confess it, be cleansed, and be made ready to be a channel of blessing to others. Lord, I lift up to you ALL THE NAMES on this blog (and all those not represented here) that NEED SALVATION. Lord, many of them, obviously ALL OF THEM, do not know that the building they are in is on fire. They do not know that the path they lead, which seems so right, leads to death and destruction. Father, please fill me with your Spirit that I may be more like Christ; full of Grace AND Truth as I seek out the lost and try to tell them the Truth. Father, if I speak with all knowledge and have not love, I will be as a clanging cymbal and they will not desire to come out of the darkness and into Your glorious light. Father, I plead with you as your daughter that while you have burdened me with knowledge of You and Your word to take to the world, that you would infiltrate my thoughts, my words, and my actions with your abundant love and grace so as not to forever offend others away from You, but rather convict them of their great need for Your grace to save them. I sincerely plead this on behalf of myself and ALL who are burdened to win the lost to Your kingdom. May satan no longer triumph over us with fear of offense, with fear of personal rejection, and with fear of 'messing it up', but may we be so confessed up, cleaned up, and filled up that ALL THINGS be possible through Jesus Christ in our lives.

Giving YOU ALL THE CREDIT AND PRAISE FOR ANY GOOD IN MY LIFE,

Amen

"Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me. When I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet if you have warned the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself." Ezekiel 3:17-19
