Prayer Request Answered

Hello again.
I didn't really expect to be giving an update this soon on the prayer request I sent out yesterday but today the person who needed our prayers died at close to noon. I have to tell you that it has been such an incredible honor to serve him this passed week and I thank the Lord for His faithfulness. I got to the nursing home at 11:00 this morning and he had irregular breathing so I held his hand as he left this world. It is a sad feeling to see someone die. However, I need to lean on God's promises that when we pray for something in the name of Jesus which is to say praying in line of God's will then he will answer. So, I believe the Lord came to this man and spoke to him and gave him opportunities to believe Jesus as his savior.

Thank you again for your prayers and his family thanks you!
Blessings to you all tonight as you go forth and serve our Lord by serving one another.

Prayer Request

Hello saints! Blessings to you all!
The past couple of weeks I have really been seeking the Lord. And it has really been an awesome and wonderful time growing closer to my Lord. And for quite a while he has laid a burden on my heart for a man who is dying. I want to keep out a lot of details due to sensitive situations but this person who is dying (literally living moment by moment) wants nothing to do with God and he said I could visit him but without preaching. So I asked the Lord what to do. The lord told me to be with him and to serve him every day until God says to stop. So, by the Grace of God I have done that and continuing to. And I pray that Jesus reveals himself to this man who is begging to die due to the pain.

Saints, won't you please join with me in prayer for this one who needs Jesus?

Thank you and God bless you all!
