By intercessory prayer we can hold off satan from other lives and give the Holy Ghost a chance with them. No wonder Jesus put such tremendous emphasis on prayer!

Praying always for you.

Yes that is a very profound principle and truth. Though people have their free agency to choose light or darkness the Lord in his wisdom knows the heart and mind of each of his children. I have always heard that he knows his sheep and they will respond to the voice of their sheperd. Sometimes it takes a lot of prayer as it did with me when I was very young. But I know this is true because people were praying for me when I didn't pray or have hope for myself. The Lord saw fit to humble me in such a way that I became totally dependant on him. I had my life turned around 180 degrees through all those prayers and those of my parents. Sometimes it takes a lot of longer suffering of others, but what a blessing to pray for others. We know not how far reaching our prayers can be.
Thanks for that thought today!
