John 17:20-26

The Open Door Community Church is going to embark on a revived prayer mission. Very soon we will have a period of time that someone will be available at the church for anyone who wishes to call in for prayer, write an e-mail, maybe someone would desire to just drop in and pray with a prayer partner.  The day and time, well that will be determined when a special light is on in front of the church. So be on the alert for the light. A simple light to alert anyone the Impact Prayer Ministry is on at Open Door Community Church. 

Jesus Christ is praying for believers.  He clearly identifies who He is praying for in verse 20, “for those who will believe in Me through their word;” Have you given your word to the Lord. Yes Lord I give myself to You as my Lord and Savior.  Romans 10:9 “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”  Jesus is telling all who simply confess pray and believe in their heart become one with the Father  At this time in our lives we can now have unlimited access to the Father, Romans 8:26-27.  When someone is sick we pray for healing.  Now that is appropriate and is a good thing, however, Listen to what Jesus prayed for each of us who believe, “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”  Jesus prayed that the believers would truly be who we say we are in word, His desire for us to be with Him.  Pray for believers to be secured in Jesus no matter what is going on in your life, for those not walking with the Lord, I beg you find Him, the Lord Jesus, who has a desire that we be with Him in heaven. 

Today confess Jesus Christ as Lord, make it your word, believe in Him, now with confidence live a life, in obedience, knowing His prayer to the Father is for you and I to spend eternity in heaven to see His glory.  Be blessed today and remember to Pray.
