Come Alive! In Prayer by Pastor Pavel Goia Campion Church

Joe was an Olympic high diver. He was with his friend, Bob in California who had built this big in-door swimming pool with a very high diving board. Bob was a Christian and he had been praying for his friend, Joe, to accept Jesus as his personal Savior. At about midnight Joe couldn’t sleep. So, he decided he would go out and practice some dives. He went out to the pool and the moon was shining through the windows, so he didn’t turn on any lights. He went way up to the highest board. He stretched his arms out and as he looked down, he saw a cross. He stepped back and he couldn’t figure it out. He stepped forward again, put his arms out and there was a cross again. He then got down and went down to the pool and he looked. And to his surprise, there was no water in the pool, because it was being repaired. The moon had made him look like a cross down below. It dawned on him that he was saved by the reflection of the cross. His heart was touched, and he knelt right then and there and gave his heart to God. If it would not have been for his friend’s prayers and the reflection of the cross that night, he would have lost his life. This week we turn our attention to our prayer lives.
