Asking prayers for unrepentant Christians

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I have some fellow Christians on my heart (God knows them!!) who are bound in some sins like drinking alcohol and have been hurting me in the last period, and have refused to admit their mistakes. Please pray in Jesus' name that their spiritual eyes will be opened to the truth and that they will be able to understand the truth fully. May their hearts not tolerate sin, and may God change their hearts so that they won't participate in provoking other fellow Christians.....AMEN IN JESUS NAME
 
We join you in lifting up these fellow believers who have strayed from the path of righteousness, and we praise you for your heart of intercession. It is a grievous thing when those who profess Christ remain bound in sin, refusing to repent, and even causing harm to others. The Word of God warns us clearly in **1 Corinthians 5:6-7**, *"Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump? Purge out the old yeast, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed in our place. Therefore let’s keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."*

Drunkenness and unrepentance are serious sins that grieve the Holy Spirit, and Scripture commands us in **Ephesians 5:18**, *"Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."* These brothers and sisters in Christ are in danger of hardening their hearts further if they persist in their rebellion. The Lord calls them—and all of us—to holiness, for without it, no one will see the Lord (**Hebrews 12:14**). Their refusal to admit their wrongs is a sign of pride, and **Proverbs 16:18** tells us, *"Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall."*

Yet, we must also remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (**Ephesians 6:12**). These believers are not our enemies—they are captives who need deliverance. So we pray with boldness and authority in the name of Jesus, who alone can break the chains of sin and set them free. Let us also examine our own hearts, ensuring that we are not harboring bitterness or unforgiveness, for **Hebrews 12:15** warns us to *"be careful that no one falls short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up troubles you, and many be defiled by it."*

We pray now with you:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, lifting up these brothers and sisters who have been ensnared by the deceitfulness of sin. Lord, You alone know their hearts, their struggles, and the depths of their rebellion. We ask that You, by the power of the Holy Spirit, convict them deeply of their sins—especially the sin of drunkenness, which dulls their spiritual senses and opens the door to further destruction. Remove the scales from their eyes, Lord, just as You did for Saul on the road to Damascus (**Acts 9:18**). Let them see the truth of their condition and the damage their actions have caused—not just to themselves, but to Your body, the church.

Break the spirit of pride that keeps them from repentance. Soften their hearts, Father, and grant them a spirit of humility that they may confess their sins and turn from them wholeheartedly. Let them remember the words of **1 John 1:9**, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* May they no longer tolerate sin in their lives but flee from it as Joseph fled from Potiphar’s wife (**Genesis 39:12**).

Lord, we also ask that You heal the wounds they have inflicted upon our sister who has brought this request. Comfort her heart and guard her against bitterness. Fill her with Your peace and the assurance that You are just and will vindicate the righteous in Your perfect timing (**Romans 12:19**). Give her the strength to forgive as You have forgiven her, and the wisdom to set godly boundaries if necessary.

We rebuke the spirit of deception that has blinded them and the spirit of drunkenness that has enslaved them. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these strongholds to be broken and for the enemy to release his grip on their lives. Fill them instead with Your Spirit, Lord, that they may walk in obedience and bear fruit worthy of repentance (**Matthew 3:8**).

May their lives be a testimony of Your transforming power, that others may see their change and glorify Your name. And may they no longer be a stumbling block to their fellow believers but instead become vessels of Your grace and truth.

We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone can save and sanctify. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you, dear sister, to continue standing in the gap for these individuals, but also to guard your own heart. If they remain unrepentant even after confrontation, remember the words of Jesus in **Matthew 18:15-17** about treating them as you would a Gentile or a tax collector—with love, but with clear boundaries. Trust that the Lord sees your pain and will act on your behalf. Keep your focus on Him, and He will sustain you. *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (**1 Peter 5:7**). Stay rooted in prayer and in the Word, and may the Lord grant you peace as you wait for His justice and mercy to prevail.
 
We join you in lifting up these fellow believers, dear sister, and we echo your heartfelt plea for their spiritual eyes to be opened to the truth. It's indeed heavy on our hearts when those who profess Christ remain bound in sin, causing harm to others. Let's remember, though, that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). These believers are not our enemies; they're captives who need deliverance.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, interceding for these brothers and sisters who have been ensnared by the deceitfulness of sin. Lord, You see their hearts, their struggles, and the depths of their rebellion. Convict them deeply of their sins, especially the sin of drunkenness, which dulls their spiritual senses and opens the door to further destruction. Remove the scales from their eyes, just as You did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:18). Let them see the truth of their condition and the damage their actions have caused, not just to themselves, but to Your body, the church.

Break the spirit of pride that keeps them from repentance. Soften their hearts, Father, and grant them a spirit of humility that they may confess their sins and turn from them wholeheartedly. May they remember the words of 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Fill her with Your peace and the assurance that You are just and will vindicate the righteous in Your perfect timing (Romans 12:19). Give her the strength to forgive as You have forgiven her, and the wisdom to set godly boundaries if necessary.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we rebuke the spirit of deception that has blinded them and the spirit of drunkenness that has enslaved them. We command these strongholds to be broken and for the enemy to release his grip on their lives. Fill them instead with Your Spirit, Lord, that they may walk in obedience and bear fruit worthy of repentance (Matthew 3:8).

May their lives be a testimony of Your transforming power, that others may see their change and glorify Your name. And may they no longer be a stumbling block to their fellow believers but instead become vessels of Your grace and truth.

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
