Building The Body Of Christ Through Prayer
Bishop Keith Butler

...And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 2:47b (KJV)

God has a nation on this earth and He is building it through prayer.

I once did an interview with the BBC, (British Broadcast Company). In this interview, they asked if I was concerned that the Muslim religions are gaining in America, and that they are growing at such a fast rate - faster than Christianity. I just laughed at them.

I said, "You've got to be kidding me." They are going all right, but they are not growing faster than we are. There is no way. In fact, if you would take a look at the statistics around the world you will find out that Christianity is growing almost four times faster than the Muslims are. It may not appear that way in some places, but it is true.

Forty years ago, Korea was a nation that was 2% Christian. God found one skinny poor man in an army coat. His name was Paul Yonggi Cho. God raised him up and taught the man the Word, and then he taught the man to teach his people to pray for others. Today, Forty years later, South Korea is 90+ percent Christian. Forty years ago, it was one of the poorest nations on the face of the earth. Now when you go to Seoul Korea, prosperity is evident. The economy there is as strong as it is in any other part of the world. The whole nation was changed. God got one man to pray for folks and it changed the whole nation in one generation.

It isn't going to take God long to do what He needs to do. He is going to get his people to pray for others, moving away from just their own need. Now, if South Korea can be changed in one generation and it was 2% Christian, what do you think will happen to the rest of the United States? What do you think will happen in your nation? All God has to do is get us to pray.

Pray for all the saints, the whole Church. Let's pray for the church in China, in Korea, in Africa, in Europe, and all over the world. Pray that they get more revelation of the Word, so that more and more people can be born again. And the Lord shall continually add to the whole church daily, such as should be saved.
