Prayers requested for Bob Dylan

THE FORMER pastor of rock superstar Bob Dylan, Kenn Gulliksen, has asked Christians around the world to pray for Bob Dylan. He also said that Dylan has never renounced his faith in Jesus Christ and that "God is not through with him yet."

Gulliksen, in a rare interview after speaking before 16,000 people at the Jesus People Reunion at the Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, California, on April 24 said, "I would ask people to really intercede for Bob, to pray without ceasing that God will access his heart so that he will be open to responding again to the truth. A lot of people try and get to him, so it's not about getting to him, it's about the Holy Spirit preparing his heart, so that he again reaches out to get to God."

Gulliksen added, "Bob still is a believer by profession. He has not renounced the Lord and we have every faith, hope and confidence that God is not through with him yet." He said that he hasn't heard from Dylan for some time now. "I am just waiting on the Lord for the right time to initiate contact. We pray a lot for him," said Gulliksen who now pastors Sojoumers Church West LA, a Calvary Chapel affiliate.

When asked if he believed Dylan was still on a spiritual search, Gulliksen said, "I believe he is on a greater search than ever and I think he's being so torn and that his life is winding down. He's getting older and he's struggling with what is most real. Being Bob Dylan, having this acclaim, or having a relationship with God." CR

I have been praying for Bob for over 15 years maybe longer. I have a 3 x 5 card with his photo on a corner and prayers for clarity and not turning from his savior no matter what. I pray for the renewing of his mind just as the word says is possible through the bible. Having the "mind of Christ" is what I pray. Imagine always having the right word, knowing what to do, never losing your keys. This is what I pray for Bob and his beautiful mind. God bless him! Amen
