Pray for Breakthrough
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.”—Isaiah 45:22 KJV
When Charles Spurgeon was a child, his family regularly gathered to read and discuss the Bible. But when he was a teen, he rebelled and struggled against God. His mother kept praying for him. Gradually, Spurgeon began to struggle with his sin. He realized he was rebelling against God and began to feel conviction. He cried to God but could not seem to get victory.
But one Sunday in 1850, a snowstorm prevented him from reaching the church he planned to attend. Instead, he turned into the Primitive Methodist Chapel. He looked around and only about fifteen people were in attendance.
The text was Isaiah 45. He felt convicted as he heard God’s Word. The pastor was not eloquent, but during the message, he seemed to speak directly to Spurgeon: “Young man, you look very miserable … Look to Jesus Christ! Look! Look! Look! You have nothin’ to do but to look and live.”
Spurgeon responded to this simple word and was saved that day. Everything changed, and he became passionate about his faith. He went on to become one of the greatest preachers of the nineteenth century. Through more than 3,000 sermons, he led thousands of people to faith in Christ.
Do you know someone who needs salvation or who is resisting the call of God? Do not give up on them. He can save your friends and relatives. Keep praying and believing. God is faithful.
