Still Lost!!!!!
 
Do you have friends that are still lost in the world of sin? They truly do not know which way to turn for help. You however do know the way home. Last week we discussed some verses to help us get started being prayer warriors for the lost. This week I want to show you some verses from our Sunday school lesson that will help you pray more specifically for the salvation of lost friends, acquaintances and strangers alike. Look up each verse to get the full meaning of the short paraphrases used below.
 
John 6:44 God please draw him/her to Jesus.
 
John 16:8-11 God please convince him/her of his sin, the righteousness of Christ, and the judgment of Satan.
 
Romans 10:17 & 1:16 God please make it so that he/she will hear the Gospel and the power of the Gospel will be released.
 
Matthew 9:37-38 God please put Christian people in his/her life.
 
James 4:6 God please break/melt his/her pride and bring him/her to humility.
 
John 8:32 God please reveal to him/her the truth and expose the lies.
 
Mark 1:15 God please bring him/her to repentance.
 
II Corinthians 7:10 Please grant him/her Godly sorrow.
 
Ephesians2:8-9 and Philippians 1:29 God please grant him/her saving faith. God please grant them the ability to believe.
 
John 3:1-8 and Ephesians2:1-5 God please grant him the second birth-spiritual birth-regeneration.
 
I do not have a specific verse for this one but ask God to keep them alive long enough for these things to happen.
 
Sportsman's tip: Keep your knife sharp. I keep a steel and a ceramic sharpener in my fanny pack. Take it from a surgeon, sharp knives are less dangerous to use and get the job done a lot faster. It is easier to keep a keen edge on your knife if you touch it up more often.
 
Next week I will give you some spiritual way points that God has selected to steer your lost friends home.
 
Gods speed,
