[00:00:08] Making a Difference by Dr. Michael Youssef
[00:00:13] Only the Holy Spirit can change someone's heart, but God is calling us to be a part
[00:00:18] of the process.
[00:00:19] We can make a difference in the eternal lives of others.
[00:00:23] We can tell our neighbors how Christ changed our lives.
[00:00:26] We can share with our friends why we have peace in the middle of difficult times.
[00:00:31] We can train our children in the ways of the Lord.
[00:00:34] And we can unite together in prayer for the souls of non-believers.
[00:00:39] We can pray that we will continue to have the freedom to openly speak Jesus' name
[00:00:44] in public.
[00:00:45] We can pray that we remain free to share the full gospel message without being confined
[00:00:50] to a politically correct version.
[00:00:53] We can pray that God will continue to use His people to spread His gospel to the ends
[00:00:58] of the world.
[00:01:00] Spend time in prayer today examining your priorities.
[00:01:03] Where does the Great Commission fall on that list?
[00:01:07] Pray daily that God will renew your passion for the souls of non-believers.
[00:01:12] Pray that God prepares the hearts of those around you to receive the gospel message.
[00:01:17] Pray for the Holy Spirit to provide you with opportunities to share about Christ.
[00:01:21] And pray that our country's freedoms will continue so that we may speak freely the uncompromising
[00:01:28] truth of the gospel.
[00:01:30] Let's pray together.
[00:01:31] Father, we do pray that You would use us to make a difference in the lives of those
[00:01:35] around us.
[00:01:37] Renew our passion to see the lost come to know You.
[00:01:41] Open doors of opportunity for us to talk about You and give us the courage to boldly
[00:01:45] proclaim Your truth.
[00:01:47] Thank You for the freedom we have to speak about You.
[00:01:51] We pray this in the name of Jesus.
[00:01:54] Amen.
