Praying For Others

By Smana Petit-Frere WHY SHOULD WE PRAY FOR OTHERS:   Praying for others benefits both the intercessor and the one for whom you are interceding for. ( Job 42:10 )   Some, who are still on the right path today, are only there because of the prayers of their parents, church family, or a friend. ( Genesis 27:28,29 )   Jesus while on earth spent hours interceding on behalf of others. Everything Jesus did was rooted in His love for mankind.

Power of Prayer - A Series By Allana Austin  One: Abraham’s Prayer For Sodom Genesis 18:16-33 A Profile of Abraham Today when our guests depart, we may end the visit by walking them to the door or to the car, and we wish them a safe journey. Similarly, in the days of Abraham, it was a popular custom for a host to walk or travel with their guests for some distance as they departed from their residence. Abraham was no exception to this custom, as his heavenly guests departed, they travelled and talked for some distance. This may be the first time they had physically walked together, but in fact, Abraham had been walking with the Lord for many decades. They had an intimate and long relationship; the Lord knew that Abraham was a holy man, a man who ordered his steps and that of his families according to the Word [Genesis 18:19]. It was on this walk that the Lord revealed to Abraham, his intentions for the city of Sodom [Genesis 18:20-21]. Abraham Bargains for Sodo
