Pray, Pursue, Persuade

Today has been a day full of reading God's word. I am loving every minute of it. Recently, God has convicted me to dig deeper into the Word of God. I have always constantly read the Bible, but now it has gone to the point where I know all the stories. I know what the books mean.. So I was at a awkward time in my life. The desire was still there, but where to aim it towards was not.

But I believe that God has been putting teenagers on my heart to pray for. And I have been praying for them a lot! They aren't "religious" or anywhere close to it, they just go to my school. But it is so crazy how almost all of them have come up to me, saying they've been reading the bible and have questions. These are the teens that I decided to pray for, knowing full and well that they need Jesus and have never seen Him. It is amazing how God just tugs on their heart, and they decide to go get a Bible without me asking them to. The great part is that they don't ask questions like "Where is Genesis?", but very deep questions. Ones such as "What does Revelation 13 mean?", or "How is Jesus and God the same?". I love it, and through answering there questions I have been able to lead them to a surrender to Christ!!! And it has also caused me to go wayyy deeper into the Word and I have grown so much from it myself.

It is amazing how when you pray for people so long, they actually come to you about Jesus!!! Gosh God is just so amazing. If only more people would pray for their friends daily, pursue them and tell them about God, and persuade them to come to the faith! How great of a change we'd experience! Out of the 9 guys I have been praying for since school started, 5 have made decisions!

Praise God!!!!

3 gave their lives to the Lord just this week! 2 of them were from pray, pursue, persuade! To God be the glory!!!
