A Call to Prayer

1 Thessalonians 5:25
Brethren, pray for us.

Simple! That's what I love about God's Word. It is simple, direct and straight. This is not a question of if we should pray for one another. No, it is a command. It is a statement of what we should be doing. Pray! I love an old song that says..

Brethren, we have met to worship, and adore the Lord our God;
Will you pray with all your power, while we try to preach the word?
All is vain, unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.

Church, pray. We need to stop aiming our talks toward government or holding prayer meetings with juicy gossip request and get serious in prayer with the Almighty God that we serve. We need to fall upon our faces about the spiritual condition of our churches instead of the bunions on our feet. Get rid of the cold and careless prayers for money and prosperity and turn up the heat until it is a fervent, boiling over prayer for the lost souls around us. Brethren...pray! Sisters...pray! Children...pray! Church...PRAY!!!

Brethren, see poor sinners round you, slumbering on the brink of woe;
Death is coming, hell is moving; Can you bear to let them go?
See our fathers and our mothers, and our children sinking down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.
