1000 Souls: Because of the Brave

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

Because of the Brave

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Many souls have gone before us! Well more than 1000 souls have given their lives for our freedoms and liberties! Let us remember them as we celebrate this weekend. Let us not only remember the soldiers who gave us freedoms in this country, but also let us remember all the many men and women who have gone to the stake burned for the cause of Christ, those who were stoned, tarred and feathered, used as torches to light the parties of tyrant dictators because they refused to deny their true King and their true Home!

This 4th of July as we celebrate our nation here on earth, I ask you to examine your own heart. Are you living a life that exemplifies that you are a foreigner and stranger in this land? Are you sounding the battle cry to save your fellow brothers and sisters from the destruction to come? Are you dying to your own selfish desires and sacrificing all to see your loved ones, your neighbors, and even your enemies saved from the clutches of the enemy?

Even if America loses every liberty we have always known, we can sing this refrain:

"I can live in freedom! I can dream my dreams! Freedom's price was paid because of HIM who died for me!"

Jesus we thank you for all the soldiers who died for us! We honor them and we apologize to them and their families and most of all we beg your forgiveness for not standing up for the freedoms for which they and You died! May we seek from this day forward to confess our sins to you daily, to ask for your Spirit that we might receive our daily marching orders, and to rise from our humble position underneath your authority to proclaim to the enemy that he is defeated and we are more than conquerors in You!
