Today Somebody Prayed for You
Today’s Bowl of Encouragement by Herb Cotton 
Bible Text for Today’s Meditation and Application:
1 John 4:16 King James Version (KJV)
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
King James Version (KJV)

My Reflections on the Word of God Today:
Can you imagine what our world would look like if God’s people demonstrated a love for God and others?
We may not be able to change the whole world by being people who love God and love others, but we can exercise a great deal of influence by our words and our deeds.
Notice what the Word of God says about God’s people.
Romans 5:5 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
5 This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Are you ready to see a change in our world that would result in a transformation in our communities from your house to the White House and Congress of the USA, and in the institutions of your Homeland?
What will be your response to being a change agent; to be one to do like an Evangelist of another century preached and practice in his ministry. The evangelist was Gipsy Smith, and this is what he said in the following quote from a message.
“Find a piece of chalk, and find an empty room. Go into that room and shut the door. Draw a circle on the floor with than chalk, kneel down in that circle, and ask God to start revival right there.”
Will you be the one to do like Gipsy Smith? His ministry changed many lives. You can read about it by clicking on the following link.

Prayer Offered to Our Father in Heaven:
Father God, I pray that You will stir the hearts of Your people today so that we will be willing to become transformation agents.
Father, we ask for the humility to bow down, and the obedience to get up and go and be love to others by what we do to give to them out of the abundance of love we have received from God.
Father, send us a revival and let it begin with me, the man that is standing in the circle in my prayer room today, In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray for ourselves and others, Amen.
2 Chronicles 7:14 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
14 and my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
