Here's a message that will bring you chills - it shows the awesome power, love and protection of GOD, and how He answers prayer.... Have you ever felt the urge to pray for someone and Then just put it on a list and said, 'I'll pray for them later' ? Or has anyone ever called you and said, 'I need you to pray for me, I have this need?' Read the following story. May it change the way that you think about prayer and also the way you pray. You will be blessed by this.... A missionary on furlough told this true story while Visiting his home church in Michigan . 'While serving at a small field hospital in Africa , Every two weeks I traveled by bicycle Through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This was a journey of two days and Required camping overnight at the halfway point. On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city Where I planned to collect money from a bank, Purchase medicine, and supplies, and then begin My two-day journey back to the field hospital. Upon arrival in the city, I observed two men fighting, One of whom had been seriously injured. I treated him for his injuries and at the same time Talked to him about the Lord. I then traveled two days, camping overnight, and Arrived home without incident..... Two weeks later I repeated my journey. Upon arriving in the city, I was approached by the young man I had treated. He told me that he had known I carried Money and medicines. He said, 'Some friends and I followed you in to the jungle, Knowing you would camp overnight. We planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. But just as we were about to move into your camp, We saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards. At this, I laughed and said that I was Certainly all alone in that jungle campsite.. The young man pressed the point, however, and said, 'No, sir, I was not the only person to see the guards, My friends also saw them, and we all counted them. It was because of those guards that We were afraid and left you alone.' At this point in the sermon, One of the men in the congregation jumped to his feet and interrupted the missionary and asked if he could tell him the exact day this happened. The missionary told the congregation the date, and The man who interrupted told him this story: 'On the night of your incident in Africa , It was morning here and I was preparing to go play golf. I was about to putt when I felt the urge to pray for you. In fact, the urging of the Lord was so strong, I called men in this church to meet with me here In the sanctuary to pray for you. Would all of those men who met with me on that day stand up?' The men who had met together to pray that day stood up. The missionary wasn't concerned with whom they were, He was too busy counting how many men he saw. There were 26. This story is an incredible example of how the Spirit of the Lord moves in behalf of those who love Him.. If you ever feel such prodding to pray, go along with it, you don't know what it can mean to that person. Nothing is ever hurt

Hmm, well, if Christians are wrong, when we die, nothing happens.. If Athiests are wrong, when they die, they go to hell... Anyways, I don't see myself wasting time..except when I go on the internet and post in threads like this :P

To save christians from wasting their time on their failing religion. @TRUTH : But you see, atheists need no saving. @TRUTH : I don't constantly think of religion or lack of religion, and therefore living my life to the fullest. @ Limuscobobo: But you see, christianity is untrue, and therefore you'd be wasting your life, and not losing a privilege to an eternal afterlife. @felix : But you see, christianity is untrue and therefore, when one dies, one does not go to hell.

Omar said: " To save christians from wasting their time on their failing religion." OH CRY CRY. You're wasting your time being athiest as well. Don't you realize? If you just lived your damn life and didn't constantly think about religion or in your case, lack there of, then you'd probably be 1000% better off. but no, you have to go around spouting your athiesm everywhere. You're just as low as they are.

But there is no privilege, there is no afterlife, your thoughts, your mind, your conciousness ( i know spelled wrong ) is all just electrical impulses in your brain, when you die, there is nothing left, so how should there be anything after life?. its simply just a thought of comfort to make people feel better about death.

I agree and I'm gonna repeat this again, Religion is the opiate of the people.
