Pray For the Dying

PRAY DAILY FOR THOSE WHO WILL DIE
IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

“Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.”
C. T. Studd

Praying for those in my city who were going to die each day is a habit I developed while reading the obituaries. I wondered, How many people last week thought they would end up in the obits this week?

When I heard that approximately 70,000 unsaved people die daily I started praying globally:

"Jesus, I pray for those who are going to die today, that You would let them see Your pure love, longing for them to spend eternity with You. Lord, strip away deception, wounds, demonic influence and strongholds that would keep them from accepting You. Let them see  Your eyes of love looking into theirs. Let Your truth be known in their hearts and minds. Jesus, in Your great mercy snatch them from the enemy’s grasp even until their last breath."

When I pray this simple prayer I feel like I’m working in that rescue shop that’s within a yard of hell. When I wake up in the morning and learn about a tragedy--an earth quake, mud slide, terrorist bombing, airline crash, etc. I always experience a certain measure of relief when I have prayed this prayer the day before.

I believe that when people who have prayed this prayer get to Heaven (after they meet Jesus and the friends and relatives who went on ahead) that they will be met by a group of people from all different nationalities waiting in exuberance to thank them by saying, “You don’t know me but on the day I died you prayed….”

Here’s a closing comment from C. H. Spurgeon:

    Thank you for your books. You have opened my eyes to prayer. I always knew prayer was the way to talk to Heavenly Father, but I didn’t know about praying for people I don’t know, and for people in other places. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

    I would start by saying God bless you for your obedience to write this book. I have gained a better understanding of some scriptures by reading your book Angels of humility. I believe one day as the Lord permits I shall meet you in heaven and thank you profoundly for the revelation you shared with me, and the impact you made on my life and ministry through Angels of humility.

    Thank you Jackie. Your book changed my prayer life. (Still a work in progress). I have recommended AOH to several people.
    Your book opened my eyes to the spiritual war that I had not grasped until then. I have PTSD and telling the spirit demon to go away, and giving my angel permission to strike it is helping me manage the symptoms much better each day.
    God bless your writing and your ministry greatly.
    Ruth
