I have been reading this story from different websites for years. I truly believe this true. But some times some aspects are left out. Just like when you or I tell a story we might forget some things.
Number one is the power and anointing of prayers.
Why would I bring this up ?
As Paul Harvey would say Now the Rest of The Story.
When you read it completely you will realize that before he died he mocked a woman of faith. She wanted to learn about Art. She was in his class. She was verbally abused by Mr. Storm. He told her if mention anything about faith outside of Art, he would fail her. They made a agreement. But he still abused words toward her.
Well she left that class and prayed for this man with her friends for years. She was so concerned for this man's soul. She Never let up on the prayers. Seeing the results before it happened.
He went back to her to apologize as a Christian. She pointed out why what took you so long. Lol! What faith this woman!
It does not matter who as a Christian who prayers for others but this woman was a Catholic nun. A sister devoted to prayer.
Pray! Pray! Pray for All!!!
Do No Let Up on Pray!!!
What a Glorious example of Prayers offered for others.
A Humble or Contrite Heart He will Not Ignore!!
What a humble woman of faith has done.
Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Psalm 46
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."
Praise Jesus!!!
This is an excellent point and one often overlooked by so many christians. Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies and "those who hate us".
