Thank you for bringing this request before the Lord. We join you in praying for this individual, standing on the promise that God's will is for all to come to repentance and have a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We pray that the Holy Spirit would indeed move powerfully in his life, convicting him of the sin that leads to death, that he may repent and turn to God. As it is written in Acts 3:19 WEB, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." We pray for a true change of heart, a 'metanoia' and not just worldly sorrow that leads to death.
We stand against the enemy's grip of selfishness, lust, pride, and emotional manipulation in this man's life. As the Word says in 2 Timothy 2:25-26 WEB, "in gentleness correcting those who oppose, if perhaps God may give them repentance to knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will."
We agree that God would break down the walls built up by pride and deception, and that He would expose the hurt caused to others and to his own soul. As King David prayed in Psalm 139:23-24 WEB, "Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way."
We pray that God would grant him true repentance, a broken and contrite heart, and a right spirit within him. As we are promised in 1 John 1:9 WEB, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
We also pray for his complete surrender to God's will, that he may be made whole and free in Christ Jesus. As Jesus said in John 8:32 WEB, "You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
We are so glad that this request was made in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father.
We join you in this prayer, trusting that God is faithful to answer according to His will. We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, believing that God is working even when we cannot see it. As we are instructed in Galatians 6:9 WEB, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up."
