Unimaginable impact

You don’t know how many people have been strengthened

because you asked God to encourage them; how many

people have been healed because you prayed for their

bodies; how many spiritual runaways have come home

because you prayed for their souls. None of us may ever

know the true effects of our prayers this side of death. But

we do know this: History belongs to the intercessors.

(So keep praying and pray often!)

—John Ortberg, The Life You’ve Always Wanted

Book of the Week recommendation

Flying Closer to the Flame : A Passion for the Holy Spirit

by Charles R. Swindoll - Christian Literature

“If you are totally fulfilled in your Christian experience, seldom frustrated, and rarely dissatisfied with yourself, this book is not for you.

But if your soul is hungry for more and you are eager to experience all the blessings God has in store for you,

then it’s time for you to fully embrace the Spirit of God. Chuck Swindoll is convinced we have overlooked, even quenched, important dimensions of the Holy Spirit. And he believes we can find a more spontaneous, intimate, and dynamic relationship with God through the Spirit.

Many of us have spent our Christian lives trying to keep a safe distance between ourselves and the Holy Spirit.

That was an unfortunate mistake. It’s time to start flying closer to the flame.
