HOW TO PRAY FOR THE LOST

ASK GOD...


To open their spiritual eyes

2 Corinthians 4:4 - Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.


To give them ears to hear

Matthew 13:15 - For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.


To give them faith to believe

Acts 20:21 - Testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.


To give them the will to respond

Romans 10:9 - That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.


To send people into their lives to witness to them

Matthew 9:38 - Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.


For ways to build caring relationships

1 Corinthians 9:22 - To the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.


For opportunities to witness

Colossians 4:3 - Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains.


For boldness to witness

Acts 4:29 - Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word.


For an opportunity to invite them

Luke 14:23 - Then the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.


To set them free from spiritual captivity to abide in Christ

2 Timothy 2:25-26 - In humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
