Sometimes back I got this interesting forwarded article by mail. It does have point to make so I thought it worth to share with you all Christian friends here in this post. Here it goes…
In a small town, a person decided to open up a brothel, which was right
opposite to a church. The church & its congregation started a campaign
to block the brothel from opening with petitions and prayed daily
against his business.
Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about to
open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the brothel and it was
burnt to the ground.
The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till the
brothel owner sued the church authorities on the grounds that the church
through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsible for the
destruction of his brothel, either through direct or indirect actions or
means.
In its reply to the court, the church vehemently denied all
responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons for the
act of God. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over
the paperwork at the hearing and commented:
"I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from the paperwork, we have a brothel owner who believes in the power of prayer and we have an entire church that doesn't."

How often we try to pray by Faith but Fail miserably to assess the results of our prayers by Faith.
My dear Brothers and Sisters, Can we dare to stand by our Faith?
God Bless You,
