Encouragement and Prayer: A Motivating Witness! (4/15/26)

This is the audio from the April 15, 2026 social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will focus on some simple ways that we can be a witness for Christ.  While most people reading this prayer guide would readily agree that the instruction from Jesus about being His witness wherever we go is for all believers, many of us struggle with what that actually looks like in everyday life.  Pray that you would understand and overcome the difficulty in doing the simple things which lead to being a faithful witness.  Pray for a refining of your thoughts, words, and actions so that your witness for Christ would be pure and clear.  Pray for the courage to live out your faith in a way that helps others have a greater desire to be in fellowship with Jesus so they can experience the transforming power of His love.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”
Hebrews 10:24 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you keep it simple when it comes to being His witness.  Pray that your witness of Jesus would motivate others to reflect His love through the good they do.  Pray that your life would be a witness to others in a way that motivates them to pursue Him more fully.  Pray that your “spurs” would be gentle but effective.
