Prayer 2021 - December 8 - God's Will is That ALL Be Saved pt 1
Scripture For Today:Isaiah 64:9“Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.”God’s Will is That ALL Be Saved pt 1
We talked in previous teachings that saving the lost is God’s will. I mean, that is the reason Jesus came to this earth, lived a sinless life, died, rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven – to give US that blessed privilege of being saved. Amen!
I know of nobody who would pray for a loved one who was lost and say to the Lord, “Lord, IF it is your will – save ‘so and so.’” That sounds ridiculous to us and even more ridiculous to God! God’s Word says it is God’s will that nobody should perish but that ALL should be saved. That’s in 2 Peter 3:9 and 1 Timothy 2:4. Amen!
But much of our praying for loved ones or for the lost is not effective because we QUESTION the will of God in it. We also do not come to Him with CONFIDENCE and BOLDNESS like we just talked about in our study of 1 John 5:14-15.
When someone has the confidence and the boldness to come to God and pray according to God’s will, then he or she can KNOW for a certainty that the prayers they are asking for will be answered. How can they know? Because they prayed according to God’s will – not against God’s will.
“Well, brother Bob, how can we know we are praying according to God’s will?”
Really? If you’ve been following this podcast for any length of time, I would venture to say at least once or twice per week I’ve taught you, referenced it probably a couple more times per week – and all year long – that you need to get into the Word of God on a daily basis. God’s Word IS God’s Will. Amen!
Once a person prays this way, that should settle it once and for all in their heart that the answer has been assured. That heart faith should settle the decision forever! Amen!
But, truth be told, most of the praying for our loved ones exists only in the natural and not in the spirit. What I mean by that is we pray with our emotions based upon what we see in the natural. And it just doesn’t work that way.
For example, someone might pray, “God save our loved one.” Then we “wait and see” IF God answered our prayer. IF our loved gets saved, we believe God heard us. If that person continues to live in sin and, we believe they did not get saved within a short amount of time, we say, “Well, I guess God didn’t hear me…”
What happens then? We go back and beg again, “God, save our loved one.”
Folks, this type of praying is just filled with unbelief. It’s no wonder our loved one doesn’t get saved!
“Well, brother Bob, how are we supposed to pray then?”
I’m so glad you asked! Let’s take that question up tomorrow! Glory to God!
