Acts 1:8
but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
The word “both” means that we are involved in all four of these arenas at the same time in regards to evangelism and reaching the lost. For me, that would be equivalent to Jefferson, the State of Oregon, the United States, and the whole world.
Being involved in all those areas as an individual would be very difficult if not impossible physically, but we can do it in prayer. God gave us prayer as a powerful tool to accomplish His will of reaching out to the lost.
People in many countries of the world are in great bondage to the devil, and he blinds them so they can’t understand the gospel when they hear it. When we pray God sends angels to war against them freeing up people to respond to the gospel. ¡
One old man in a rocking chair can accomplish a phenomenal amount through prayer if he prays with faith and faithfulness. When that old man joins forces with others his prayers to God will increase in power exponentially.
This next week, starting on Monday we are going to have a “Five Days of Prayer” specifically for missions around the world.Why not join us.
