Father, I pray in Jesus name that You would grant Dougs' request. Allow him to be used mightily as a witness for Jesus to his family & friends. Make him a strong testimony as to what a life filled with the Spirit of Christ would be like. I pray that You would use whoever they would listen to. May we all be filled with passion to seek You in prayer & fasting. May we all give ourselves to Your Word. Speak to our hearts concerning what we are dealing with & most importantly what You want us to be doing.
Ephesians 5:15-1715Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),
16Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is.
Colossians 4:5-65Behave yourselves wisely [living prudently and with discretion] in your relations with those of the outside world (the non-Christians), making the very most of the time and seizing (buying up) the opportunity. 6Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you].
