Asking prayers on the behalf of the ###

[Kensem]

We lift up this prayer request with hearts full of hope and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to save and transform lives. The verse you’ve shared from Luke 9:24 is a profound reminder of the surrender required to follow Christ: "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it." This truth is at the very core of the Gospel, salvation comes not through our own efforts or self-preservation, but through dying to ourselves and living fully for Him. We rejoice that you are standing on this promise and interceding for your landlord’s salvation.

First, we must address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through His shed blood, His resurrection, and His authority that we have access to the Father. We are grateful that you have already included His name in your prayer, for it is the foundation of our faith. If this landlord does not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we pray that the Holy Spirit would convict him of his need for a Savior and draw him into a personal relationship with Christ. Salvation is not merely about avoiding loss but about gaining eternal life through faith in Him (John 3:16).

We also recognize the spiritual warfare present in this situation, as you’ve mentioned the influence of darkness over the apartment and the landlord’s life. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We stand with you in declaring that no weapon formed against this home or this man shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We rebuke every unclean spirit that may be at work in this situation, for "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). The light of Christ cannot be overcome by darkness, and we pray that His truth would break every chain.

However, we must also gently address the mention of the landlord’s "ex" in this context. If there is any ungodly soul tie, unforgiveness, or bitterness lingering from a past relationship, we encourage you to examine your own heart and release it to the Lord. Forgiveness is not optional for believers, Jesus commands us to forgive others as we have been forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15). If there are unresolved issues, we pray that God would grant you the grace to let go of any offense and walk in the freedom of His love. Unforgiveness can hinder our prayers and give the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27), so we ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that needs to be surrendered.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name. We thank You for the power of the Gospel to transform lives and for the truth that whoever loses their life for Christ will truly find it. Lord, we lift up this landlord to You, asking that You would open his eyes to the reality of his need for a Savior. Soften his heart, Lord, and let him see the emptiness of a life lived apart from You. We declare that no darkness can withstand Your light, and we ask that You would drive out every unclean spirit influencing this home and this man’s life.

Father, we pray for a supernatural encounter with Your love. Let him experience Your mercy and grace in a way that leaves no doubt of Your existence and Your desire for him to know You. We ask that You would surround him with believers who can speak truth into his life and model the love of Christ. If there are any barriers to his salvation, pride, unbelief, or the lies of the enemy, we ask that You would shatter them by the power of Your Word.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for those interceding in this situation. If there is any unforgiveness, bitterness, or ungodly influence in their own hearts, we ask that You would reveal it and grant them the strength to release it to You. Let Your peace reign in this home, and let Your presence fill every corner of it. We declare that this apartment is under the authority of Jesus Christ, and no weapon formed against it shall prosper.

We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the victory we have in Christ. We trust that You are working even now to draw this man to Yourself. May he come to know the joy of salvation and the freedom that comes from surrendering his life to You. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue standing in faith, trusting that God is at work even when you cannot see it. Persist in prayer, for the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person avails much (James 5:16). If this landlord is not yet saved, consider how the Lord might use you to share the Gospel with him in a loving and respectful way. Pray for opportunities to speak truth and to live out your faith in a manner that reflects Christ’s love.

Remember, the battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Stand firm in the armor of God, and do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). God is faithful, and His promises are true. May He bless you as you continue to seek His will in this situation.

We’re joining you in this prayer, and we’re grateful you brought it to us. It’s a simple, heartfelt request, that your landlord would come to know Jesus, and we don’t take it lightly.

True conversion is a work of the Holy Spirit, not just a change of outward affiliation but a turning of the whole heart toward Christ. That’s what we’re asking for: a lasting surrender, the kind that replaces self-direction with trust in Him. And because God desires all people to be saved, we can pray with steady hope, even when we don’t see immediate results.

In the waiting, you might find it strengthening to share this burden with one or two others from your church or small group. Knowing that others are praying with you, and for him, by name, tends to anchor our own faith and comfort our hearts. As you interact with him, simply living out the love and peace of Christ in everyday moments can plant seeds we can’t always see.

We’re holding this before the Lord alongside you.

Lord Jesus, we lift up this landlord to You. You know his story, his fears, and the walls around his heart. By Your Spirit, draw him to a genuine, life-changing surrender. Give him a new heart and a new direction, and give this dear person who prays for him patience and peace as they trust Your timing. In Your name we pray, amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

You speak of a man’s life, and well you may, for the soul of your landlord is as a lamp untrimmed, casting its flicker over an open grave. What is the life he now grasps so tightly? A shadow, a vapor, a mere animal vitality that soon must sink into corruption. He has mental faculties, perhaps, sharp enough for business, but of that higher life, the spiritual, the divine, he knows nothing. He is dead while he liveth, and if he dies in such a state, his end is the blackness of darkness forever. His only hope, and yours as you plead for him, is that he lose this miserable life of self, that he may find true life in Christ.

The verse you bring from Luke is a sharp two-edged sword. To save one’s life is to lose it; to lose it for Jesus’ sake is to save it unto life eternal. And what does it mean to lose the life? Not to fling away existence, but to let go all confidence in the flesh, all trust in one’s own goodness, all clinging to the rotten rags of self-righteousness. The just shall live by faith. The man who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, not by works of law, but by the blood of the Lamb. You do right, then, to pray that the landlord give his life to the Lord Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. But mark this: the giving over of the life is not a mere decision of the will, as a man might sign a lease. It is the mighty act of the Holy Spirit, raising the dead. Spiritual life is not the result of working; how can the dead work for life? They must be quickened first.

Therefore, while I join my heart with yours in supplication, let our cry be that God would grant him repentance unto life. Not a surface sorrow because of troubles in his tenancy, but that deep ploughing of the soul which the Spirit alone can send. Pray that he may see himself lost, that all his self-trust may crumble, and that, like a drowning man, he may cast himself upon the free mercy of God in Christ. Only then will he begin to live, truly live, a life elevating, energetic, incorruptible, bound up with the justified life of the risen Lord Himself.

I must also gently stir your own faith regarding this rented apartment. You declare victory, and I rejoice in a bold confession, but take heed lest your declaration become a carnal weapon. The power is not in the loudness of our proclamations, but in the name and finished work of Jesus. If the Lord sees fit to try you yet longer, even through a hard-hearted landlord, will you then count it all joy? Remember, He who is the Resurrection and the Life may be using these very pressures to break the soil of that man’s heart. Or perhaps, in the delay, He is teaching you a deeper dependence upon Himself, drawing you away from looking to answered prayer as your life, and leading you to feed upon Christ alone. He that hath the Son hath life, whether the apartment be peaceful or stormy.

Go on praying, and do not faint. The life which Christ gives is more than enough for every trial. Yet let your intercession be mingled with that holy fear which trembles at the thought of a false repentance, a temporary turning that knows nothing of the new birth. Let your landlord be told plainly that to gain the world and keep his properties, while losing his own soul, is a transaction with eternal bankruptcy stamped upon it. May the Lord cause him to hear that word, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” And may the blessed Spirit, who breathes life into dead bones, perform this wonder in him, that he who now sits in darkness may behold the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Thus I leave you with this anchor: The life of God in the soul is not a thing to be manufactured by our zeal. It is a gift received by faith from the Fountain Himself. Look to Jesus for your own life, and plead for your landlord not as if you were commanding a reluctant deity, but as a beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. The Lord bless you, and make you a means of life to this man. Amen.
