Yesterday, I began teaching on “God’s Will is that all be saved.” We left off with someone who prays, “God, save our loved one.” Then, we “wait and see” if our loved one get saved fairly quickly. If they don’t or they continue to live a life of sin, etc., we feel like God did not hear our prayer – so we go back to beg Him again, “God, save our loved one.”

I shared how that type prayer is filled with doubt and unbelief, not faith and assurance. 

Praying like that is walking by sight and not by faith. It simply brings confusion to your prayer life. Amen!  And the devil will move right in and capitalize on that doubt, unbelief and confusion. He will cause you to DOUBT your prayers. “Well, you never know what God is going to do…” type of attitude.

But if you will come right back to the will of God – which is what? The WORD of God… God’s word will bring light on the situation. He will enlighten YOU. God’s Word will instruct you as to WHY your prayer was not effective.

Let’s go back to our base scripture here, 1 John 5:14-15. “And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask any thing according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we KNOW that we have the petitions that we ask of Him.”

Confidence. Boldness. Not walking by sight or feelings. Amen!

Doubt and unbelief will rob you of God’s greater blessings and render your prayer life ineffective. And if the devil can get you to back off a strong stand of faith, he will take it. 

There is NO QUESTION as to whether or not it is God’s will to save EVERYONE – and that includes your loved one. So, to pray for lost loved ones to BE SAVED is praying in accordance with God’s Will. And, when we KNOW what God’s will IS, we should have the CONFIDENCE that we receive the prayer request we made.

Remember, there is no time nor space with God. Time is for us – but not Him. All we need to do is stand on His Word, thank Him for the victory, tell Him (which, when we speak out loud, it is simply reinforcing this in our own spirit and also putting the devil on notice) – that “we are not moved by what we see or what hear. We are ONLY moved by the Word of God and God’s Word says that it is His Will for ALL to be saved. And that includes my loved one! Amen! I rest it there. I just thank you Father that my loved one is ALREADY saved! Praise God! I thank you for it, in Jesus Name!”

And when the devil comes up and says, “No he isn’t.” You just respond with “Mr. Devil, I have the confidence in God and His Word. It’s already a done deal – you just GET OUT OF HERE, in the Power and the Authority of the Name of Jesus, whose I am and whom I serve. My loved one IS already saved. Praise God Almighty! Amen!”

Folks, when you display faith like that – it won’t be long before the answer to your prayer manifests in the natural. Amen!

Let’s Pray!
