Persistent Prayer

 Luke 11:5-10

Here Jesus illustrates the idea that we should be persistent in prayer.  When we believe it's important we should never give up on prayer.  Lord Jesus, I pray for the younger generation.  Please provide harvesters and open their eyes to see You.

This leads to the question what is the difference between a demon and an angel?  Could it be the side they are fighting for?  Are you fighting for good in this world or are you letting evil rule?  Lord Jesus, help us to usher in Your Kingdom here on earth.

How the news spreads
