On Freedom
"
There is no delusion
more common among
men than the belief
that liberty, which is
a good thing in itself,
is so good as to enable
those who possess it
to dispense with all
other good things.
But as no man lives
by bread alone,
neither can nations
or factories or
shipyards exist solely
upon unlimited
freedom to have
their own way.

We don't often go to sleep at
night thinking that someone,
somewhere in the world is
praying and will continue
to do so as we rest! This
concept, however, is at the
heart of 24-7 Prayer, which
consists of people taking
turns to pray, day in, day
out for an established
length of time.
Since January 2011,
Salvationists worldwide have been called to
pray non-stop as part of the Global Call to 24-7
Prayer �A Day and Night Cry for Justice,
based on the
parable of the persistent widow found in Luke 18:1-8.
To help unite the Army in focused intercession, the
Center for Spiritual Life Development offers through
its website daily subjects for focused prayer, as well
as videos featuring testimonies and experiences on
how to pray 24-7 along with a prayer resource also
available on the center's social media pages.
In Luke 18:8 Jesus concludes His teaching with the
question: "However, when the Son of Man comes, will
He find faith on the earth?" May The Salvation Army
be part of the faith He finds as it seeks to be first and
foremost an Army on its knees.
