15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: (NKJV)
Many Christians consider these verses as lead ups to the prayer that starts in verse 17. However, they are much more than that.
When we pray for others of the faith, we should name them. Our prayers should be pointed.
In prayers for the nation, although those prayers may appear to be general in nature, those prayers are actually very pointed.
At the time of this writing, Christians around the world are facing great persecution from those who are led by Satan. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of Christians are being murdered. In addition, the church in America is being led by the unconverted.
Once great Churches are now led by ordained heathen!
Pray for those of the Body of Christ!
