Remember that “all things are possible to the one who

believes.” (Mark 9:23)

Remember that “what is impossible with men is possible

with God.” (Luke 18:27)

Remember “whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you

have anything against anyone; so that your Father also who is

in heaven may forgive you your transgressions.” (Mark 11:25)

Set your mind on forgiveness with this person or these

people, and if they lash out at you remember not to respond to

them in the same way, but only in the love of God. “…love

bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things;

endures all things…” (1 Cor. 13) As a Christian you always

have the ability to operate in love because “God’s love has

been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has

been given to us.” (Rom. 5:5)

Ask God to give you specific wisdom and strategies

regarding how to pray for this person or group, and ask Him to

help you see them through His eyes as you pray.

Ask Him for wisdom for anything that you should

specifically do other than pray to bring this person or people

into the Kingdom.

Pray in faith, believing that you receive when you pray.

(Matt. 21:22)

Pray to the Fatherin the name of Jesus.

(John 15:16)

Pray for yourself for perseverance and encouragement.

(Rom. 15:5)

Speak things that are not as though they were. (Rom.

4:17)

Don’t just pray for Godto remove hindrances and

obstacles—youspeak directly to them just like Jesus did to the fig

tree and believe that you’ll receive the same results. (Mark

11:13-14; 20-25)

Remember that “life and death are in the power of the

tongue.” (Pr. 18:21) Ask the Father to set a guard over your

mouth and keep watch over the door of your lips, that you’ll

only speak things that are in accordance with His will and His

Word. (Ps. 141:3)

Never hold your peace, day or night. (Is. 62:6)

Persevere in prayer and give to God your “right” to give

up.

Pray fervently. (James 5:16) Don’t just run through a

list of scriptures or the prayers below just to “get through

them” but take your time on each one and concentrate on the

desired outcome. Don’t be concerned if you spend the whole

prayer time on just one scripture.

Remember that when you pray for the lost they sometimes

seem to go the other way like Jonah when the Holy Spirit

started dealing with him. Make up your mind now to continue to

press in no matter what happens, and believe the Word of God

for them rather than looking at things on the surface level.

Remember to look at the things that are unseen, which are

eternal, rather than the things that are seen, which are

temporal. (2 Cor. 4:18)

Trust in the Lord with all

your heart and do not lean on your own insight and

understanding. (Prov.3:5)

Get in agreement with other godly people that will pray

and stand with you.

Cast your cares regarding this person or group upon the

Lord Jesus. Remember that you are not their savior—Jesus is.

(1 Pet. 5:6-7)

Pray for your own protection as you stand in faith. (Ps.

91) Pray that God will be a “wall of fire” around you and the

people that you’re praying for. (Zech. 2:5)

Believe the word that “no weapon formed against you shall

prosper.” (Is. 54:14-17)

Remember that you have a covenant with God, and that He

welcomes you to come to the throne of grace. (Heb. 4:16) Your

prayers give God the right to work in a circumstance and

situation, and this brings Him on the scene.

Remember that “our struggle is not against flesh and

blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the

world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of

wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the full

armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day,

and having done everything to stand firm…” (Eph. 6:11-18)

Remember that “prayer” is the often-overlooked second

offensive weapon in addition to the Word of God. (Eph.

6:17-18)

You are a three-part being—spirit, soul, and body—and it

is important that all three parts be in agreement in prayer, not just your

spirit. (I Thess. 5:23) Hope is a key element in

getting results in prayer. Before, during, and after praying,

invest the time to get a clear picture in your mind of

what you want to happen. Attempting to believe God for

something in faith while holding a mental image of the exact

opposite thing will not bring you the results you want. [Faith

is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of

things not seen. (Heb. 11:1)] Picture this person or these

people as saved, think of what it will be like to have them in

the Kingdom, rejoice in it, and thank the Father for it.
