The Unexpected Adventure- "Unlikely Candidate"- Romans 1:16
In Chapter 21, the author discusses the importance of not writing off the "unlikely candidates" for Christ. Even if we think the situation is futile, God is able to do all "to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. . ." Ephesians 3:20
Mittelberg encouraged readers to think of the following things when we think about that unlikely candidate for Christ:
1. Are that person's sins within the scope of Christ's death on the cross? 1 John 2:2
2. Is that person included in God's promise in John 3:16?
3. Is that person included in the promise God made in 2 Peter 3:9?
4. Does John 5:24 apply to that person? John 5:24
Is there someone who you think is an unlikely candidate for salvation? If so, place him or her on your daily prayer list. If not, ask the Holy Spirit to impress on your heart the name of that unlikely candidate, then convenant to pray for him/her on a daily basis. If there is someone in your life who has been the object of weeks, months, years of prayer, take a moment to offer up a fervent prayer to God right now for that person's salvation. If no one comes to mind, why not?
