10 Powerful Prayers for lost souls – You may be doing it wrong!

Dear Lord open the eyes of [] to see how much you love her.

If you are not used to church or Bible language you may not know what I mean by prayers for lost souls. If you became a disciple of Jesus recently you may not be familiar with the term lost souls.

In simple terms “lost souls” are people who have not received the salvation purchased for them by God through the blood of Jesus on the cross.

When I first thought of this title, I wondered if I should not use a more modern term – “Prayers for the unsaved”. I decided to use this title because I think it would remind us of the truth that anyone who is not saved is lost according to scriptures.

Yes I know that it doesn’t sound as cool as “prayers for the not-yet-saved” or “prayers for those who are yet to find Jesus” or even “prayers for unbelieving people”

My point here is that the Bible refers to anyone who is not a disciple of Jesus as lost. My aim in this blog post is to press this point to your heart, and my own heart as well because I thought about changing the title of this post.

Once we understand that these people are lost, we are already on the way to being properly positioned to pray effective prayers for lost souls. Prayers is always the place to begin the journey of making disciples.

Who are lost souls?

Okay you would not find the phrase lost souls in the Bible. However you may find it in some newer translations of the Bible. I use the New King James Version of the Bible most of the time and I did not find “lost soul” in there.

A phrase that is close to “lost soul” is “lost sheep” (Matthew 10:6). And with this phrase, Jesus referred to Israelites who did not believe in Him. The 12 apostles were to confine their initial ministry to Israelites. And they were instructed by Jesus to preach the message that the Kingdom of heaven is near.

So Jesus was first to call anyone who did not believe in Him or receive the message of the Kingdom as lost.

Jesus also called everyone whom He came to save as “The Lost”. In Luke 19:10.

So now you see that anyone who does not have the new life in Christ Jesus is lost. And Jesus is still seeking and saving them.

If you are reading this, it is because Jesus has found you and saved you. Not only have you been saved, you want to know effective prayers for lost souls, so that they can have and enjoy the blessing you are enjoying in Christ.

Why does Jesus call them lost?

Jesus calls anyone that does not believe in Him lost because God owns us all. Not only does God own us, but he also loves us. When we choose then to live as if God does not exist, or that He doesn’t care, we are truly lost.

There are many other scriptures that show us how terrible it is to be cut off from God. This is why we must pray for the lost souls. And we must encourage other believers to be involved in prayers for lost souls.

Prayers for Lost Souls? Why?

Have you ever been lost? I am not so good with directions so I have gotten lost a few times. When I was about 5 years old I remember getting lost.

I thought I was following my aunt one minute and the next minute (I must have gotten distracted) I did not see her anymore. Then I saw someone that looked like her, and I kept on getting more lost. Eventually she found me.

What is the point of the story? When a person is lost, in most cases, their actions only get them more lost especially when they don’t know that they are lost.

In the case of those who do not believe in Jesus, they are not only lost, they are also spiritually blinded by a wicked enemy – The devil.

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
2 Corinthians 4:4 (NLT)

How do I pray for lost souls?

So in praying for the lost, we need to pray to God so that the lost person is saved and at the same time battle against the devil so that the lost person is delivered from the deception of the devil.

There are 4 parties involved in the salvation of any person or soul. In this article, I use the word soul and person interchangeably. Although in scriptures, the word soul has more than one meaning.

The 4 parties involved in the salvation of a person are

The lost person
The Devil
God and the hosts of heaven
The people and circumstances around them (This party contains other lost people and systems and saved people and systems)

For a long time, I figured that if God wanted a person saved, all God had to do was to save him or her. But then I realized that it’s not that simple.

What I have discovered is that God has done all that He can do within the limits of His justice for the salvation of all of us. Although God is all powerful, He willingly laid aside His power, to give us free will. As a result, we get to choose God and love GOD.

This means that for a lost sinner to be saved, he or she has to willingly accept the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

What does this mean?

Well the first thing is this.

God wants whoever you are praying for to be saved more than you can ever want them to be saved (1Timothy 2:1-4)

Now that we have established that God wants the lost soul to be saved, we have great confidence when we come to Him about their salvation. We also know that we have God on our side. Our prayers for lost souls is not to convince God to save the lost. It is to partner with God to save the lost.

So what we need to pray for, is that the lost person would discover that they are lost. That they would know that Jesus is the way and that they would accept Jesus as their savior and Lord.

But for this to happen,

someone has to share the gospel of the kingdom of God with them
the devil’s power over them needs to be broken so that they can realize that the systems of the world only end in the world.

Okay, the stage is now set for us to begin to pray! After all, this article is about the prayers for the lost.

Pray from the Bible for lost Souls

Remember the reason why we pray is not so that we feel that we have prayed. Or to try to convince God to save the lost.

We pray because we want results. We want lost people to be saved.

I know that you want our loved ones to come into the kingdom of God. Which means that you want to be as effective as possible with your prayers.

What prayer can be more effective, than one that is directly from scriptures? Here are some prayers that I and many believers have used over the years to pray for lost souls and have gotten some results.

Thanksgiving Prayers for lost souls

1 Tim 2: 1-6

Sample Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for [ ]. I thank you because you want him to be saved. The blood of Jesus has been shed for [ ]. Thank you for placing [ ] in my life. I thank you that he is alive and still has a chance to receive the Lord Jesus as His savior. Lord, please let things work out so that [ ] would come to the knowledge of the truth about your Kingdom. I pray this in the Name of Jesus.

Mercy Prayers for lost souls

Ephesians 2:1-5

Sample Prayer

Dear Lord, I agree that [ ] is lost. He is dead in trespasses and sins. He does what he wants, without regards to your laws and your love for him. I agree that he deserves the full punishment for his sins, just like I did. Dear Lord, I know that you are rich in mercy, and that your great love towards [ ] is being released right now. I agree that it is your mercy that has kept him alive till this moment. Let your mercy, continue to be extended over [ ] and please let him see how lost he is. Lord show your mercy to [ ], I pray in the name of Jesus. Dear Lord, open the eyes of [ ] to see how much you love her ! In the name of Jesus, I stand against the spirit of the power of the air, that is at work in [John]. I declare, that the blood of Jesus is against you. I break your powers over the life of [_____]. From now on, in the name of Jesus, [John] will no longer walk according to the lust of his flesh and mind. Rather, [ ] would submit to the love and lordship of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.text

Prayer for laborers – Ministers of the Gospel

Luke 10:2

Sample Prayer

Heavenly Father, You asked us to pray to you, the Lord of the harvest to send laborers in the harvest of the world. Dear Lord, please send me and other believers into the harvest of [mention your community, city, or individual], to share the good news of your kingdom with them.

Sample Prayer

Dear Lord, Let [ ] there be various opportunities for [ ] to be aware of your love and how lost they are without you. Please use social media, co-workers, literature and other means to bring awareness of their sin and your solution to them. I pray all this in the name of Jesus.

Sample Prayer

Dear Lord, please give me an opportunity to share your love and the gospel of the kingdom with [ ]. And as you give me this opportunity, I receive boldness to share my testimony and the gospel of your Kingdom. Lord, let [ ] understand and accept your mercy and love. I pray in the name of Jesus.

Please take note that it is hypocritical to ask God to send laborers to anyone when we are not willing to be sent by God to that person.

It is true that in a lot of cases, you may not be the right person to share the gospel of the kingdom with them, but nonetheless, you must be willing to be sent by God.

I am learning everyday that our heavenly Father, asks us to pray because He wants us to be engaged with Him in the solutions that He provides.

Warfare against the devil on behalf of the lost

You may have noticed that a major part of our prayers for lost souls would be in the area of warfare against our enemy the devil. This is because the people we are praying for are lost and spiritually dead because of sin and deception of the devil. 2Cor 4:4 (NLT).

Sample Prayer

In the name of Jesus and by the blood of Jesus, I stand against Satan, the god of this world that has blinded the mind of [ ], I demand that you release his mind so that he can understand the gospel of the kingdom of God. I pray in the name of Jesus, that the darkness around their minds would be lifted up and they would be able to see the glorious light of the good news.

Sample Prayer

I pray that [ ] would begin to see sin as God sees it. That they would be disgusted by sin, convicted and seek freedom in the name of Jesus. I pray that the things of God and the words of Christ would have real meaning to them in the name of Jesus.

Sample Prayer

I pray that every seed of the gospel that has been sown into the life of [ ] begins to bear fruit now in the name of Jesus. I pray that these things that seemed to make no sense to them begins to make sense in Jesus Name.

Supplication Prayers for lost souls (Prayer for natural needs of life)

When people who were not following Jesus came to Jesus for miracles, it was a sign that they had some level of faith in Him. Jesus did not turn them away.

I think the same is true today, if we have people around us who do not profess faith in Jesus and they are in need of a solution, we can give them an opportunity to look to Jesus for help.

I usually would use the opportunity to pray for them right there. At other times they may not ask. And you still wonder if to pray for them and how.

The answer is yes! We should also pray for solutions to the problems of the lost. Here are some examples

Sample Prayer

Dear Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus that you have mercy on [ ] and bring [ the requested solution] to him or her. Let the situation begin to turn around now Lord. Let them see that you love them and that you have a plan for their lives. I pray in Jesus’ name.

Prayers for lost souls in the spirit

Ephesians 6:18

This may be the most important part of this post because if you are praying from your flesh, it has little or no effect. All prayers must be done in the spirit.

Praying in the Spirit means, praying by the strength and enablement of the Holy Spirit. It could be with your regular language or with an unknown tongue (1 Corinthians 14:13-15).

However, I want to add that, you should pray in tongues. Allow the Holy Spirit to inspire you to pray in tongues for the lost.

For those of you who have the gift of praying in tongues, you already know that while praying for a particular subject, after exhausting your language, the Holy Spirit would draw you to do more praying in tongues.

I encourage you to do a lot more of this. Stay in the place of prayer for as long as you can afford to. In my experience, I have found that after praying in tongues for the lost, I sense a deeper burden to share the gospel. I also sometimes find that I am guided by the Holy Spirit to minister more effectively to the particular individuals or to the lost in general.

How long should I pray for lost souls?

As long as it takes. I don’t think we can stop praying for lost souls. As long as a person is alive, they can still receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. As long as we are alive we can still pray.

Praying for the lost is one of the first steps in making disciples as a BiVo Minister. Before you try to speak to anyone about Jesus, you need to pray for them first.

Compassion for lost souls

If you have read this post up to this point, then I believe you have some compassion for the people out there who do not know how much God loves them. Jesus had great compassion for the lost (Matthew 14:14).

I believe that Jesus spent time praying for the people who were not following Him. He even prayed for those who were used to crucify Him (Luke 23:24).

As a part of my prayers for lost souls, I also ask the Lord to give me more compassion for those who do not know Him. I ask Him to help me to always remember to pray for the lost. As a family, we pray for our neighbors, friends, and family who are not disciples of Jesus daily.

Here is a testimony shared by Charles G Finney, about a woman who had compassion for lost souls and prayed until change came.

The first ray of light that broke in upon the midnight which rested on the churches in Oneida county, in the fall of 1825, was from a woman in feeble health, who, I believe, had never been in a powerful revival. Her soul was exercised about sinners. She was in an agony for the land. She did not know what ailed her, but she kept praying more and more, until it seemed as if her agony would destroy her body. At length she became full of joy, and exclaimed: “God has come! God as come! There is no mistake about it, the work is begun, and is going all over the region.” And sure enough, the work began, and her family were almost all converted, and the work spread all over that part of the country.
How to Promote a revival

Sometimes, its difficult to pray for all the lost souls around us because some of them cause us great harm. They may try to get rid of you at work, they may be mean to you in the community or just evil to everyone.

This is why we must let the Holy Spirit lead us at all times. It is the Holy Spirit that convicts and draws anyone to Jesus (John 16:8, John 6:44). There is no one too far gone for the Holy Spirit to convict. The compassion you and I feel for the lost is God’s invitation for us to join Him in the works of seeking and saving the lost.

Conclusion

I hope that this post has helped you on your journey towards making disciples for Jesus by showing you how to pray for the lost. And providing some starter prayers for lost souls. Please make up your own prayers from scripture and pray until you something happens.

To pray for believers you can use the Ephesians Prayers.

Are you a BiVo Minister? Are you sure of your Answer?

Who is a BiVo (Bivocational) Minister?

The answer to this question changes depending on who you ask. My thoughts about this have changed over time as well.

Traditional Definition

A BiVo Minister or a Bivocational Minister is a person who works and earns a living in the market place and at the same time works as a minister of the gospel. Usually, they are also paid some allowance or part-time income by the church or ministry they work for.

My definition of the BiVo Minister

A BiVo minister is a disciple of Jesus, who takes the responsibility of making disciples for Jesus as their primary vocation, and any other job as a secondary vocation. This is without regard to how these vocations are funded.

2 years ago, I thought that a Bivocational Minister is a minister of the gospel who earns income from two different sources. That is a pastor or evangelist who earns money from his or her work as a pastor or evangelist and also as a doctor, teacher, plumber, construction worker, blogger etc. Or who earns income from their work in the market place only, but also serve as a Pastor or Minister.

I also believed that a drummer or Sunday school teacher who earned all their income as a teacher is not a BiVo minister. At that time, I would have described that drummer or choir member as a volunteer at church who is a committed member of the body of Christ.

Around the end of 2019, the Lord began to redefine the Bivocational Ministry to me.

Okay before I tell you about that. Let me tell you that, in 2018 I felt led by the Holy Spirit to devote a large portion of my time and ministry to do one thing. Encouraging and Empowering Bivocational (BiVo) ministers.

What I did not do at that time was to get the definition of BiVo ministers that the Holy Spirit was referring to. So I started a podcast, called the BiVo podcast. It was going well but around the middle of 2019 I found that I just could not continue. My definition of BiVo Ministry was changing. So I stopped.

It’s not really the definition of BiVo Ministry that changed but my definition of disciple became very sharp.

The truth is, I have always focussed on discipleship in my ministry. I believe that Jesus came to make disciples and He continues to make disciples today.

What I did not articulate and accept in 2018 is that once a person becomes a disciple of Jesus, that person has a calling that must be respected as a vocation. What that means to me now is that every disciple of Jesus has a mandate and a calling to make as many disciples for Jesus as they are empowered to by the Holy Spirit.

Before now, I knew and I referred to Pastors who worked full-time in a secular job as BiVo Pastor even though they were not paid by the church. I did this because I knew that for many of those pastors, they saw their work as pastors as a calling. They just happened not to be paid from the church purse.

What is new ? Disciple Makers?

My new definition is that every disciple of Jesus is called primarily as a disciple-maker and as such any other job we do is a secondary vocation. This means that all disciples of Jesus are BiVo Ministers.

A BiVo minister is anyone who is a disciple of Jesus, who takes the responsibility of making disciples for Jesus as their primary vocation, and any other job as a secondary vocation. This is without regard to how these vocations are funded.

How does that affect you?

Well once the Holy Spirit convicted me that every disciple of Jesus is employed by the Holy Spirit primarily as a disciple maker, I had to agree that all disciples of Jesus are BiVo Ministers.

I understand the instruction to the Holy Spirit better now. What I sense the Lord asking me to do through this website and other avenues that open up is to let all disciples of Jesus know that they are either BiVo Minister or Full-time ministers.

My job is to help you realize that you have been employed by the Holy Spirit to call others to Jesus as disciples. You are engaged primarily as a disciple-maker. Any other job or vocation you have is secondary. Your job as a doctor or Politician is designed to assist you in fulfilling your primary call as a disciple-maker.

3 Reasons for BiVo Ministry

1 – Jesus Called You to Be a Disciple Maker

I have elaborated on this already in my definition. Here, I want to show you a few scriptures that will make this more real to you.

Make Disciples

In Matthew 28:18-20, we see Jesus instruct the first disciples about making disciples. He instructed them to teach the new disciples to observe ALL the things that He commanded them.

What this means is that they were to make disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples and on and on. Each disciple teaches the new disciples to obey Jesus. So our primary task as disciples is to make disciples.

Seek the Kingdom

Another text that may help is the one in Matthew 6:33

Here Jesus is teaching His disciples that the primary task of any disciple of His is to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.

What does it mean for us to seek the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness? I believe it means that we seek the progress of the Kingdom in us and through us. The Kingdom of God refers to the rulership of God.

So if we are to seek God’s rulership and righteousness first, it means we must put God’s plans and purposes first. We know that God’s purpose is revealed in Christ Jesus. And Jesus has made it clear to us that He wants as many people as possible to be restored to the Kingdom of God.

Jesus is referred to as the first born among many brethren. Jesus wants to place many “Jesus” everywhere on earth, calling more disciples. In actual fact, Jesus wants to live righteously and gloriously through all His disciples. That is what it means for the Kingdom of God to come or to make progress on earth.

Here is what Charles G. Finney has to say about this verse

“The command to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness first, enjoins upon us to treat this subject as of absolute and supreme importance. This must be the great business of our lives. Nothing else is allowed to have any practical importance compared with this.”

Commit to Faithful men

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. ²And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. ³You therefore must endure^[^a^] hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. ⁵And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. ⁶The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. ⁷Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. (2 Timothy 2:1-7)

This is the way of the disciples of Jesus. Whatever you learn or receive, transfer to other disciples who would comitt them to other disciples.

Are you a disciple?

A BiVo Minister Called to Make Disciples Paid to Solve life Problems

Now that I have shown to you a few of the scriptures that made it plain to me, that every disciple has a primary vocation called disciple making, I hope you would accept this vocation.

I believe that every disciple of Jesus is called to be a disciple maker. What bothers me is that there are too many believers out there who think that they are disciples of Jesus but they have not accepted this call.

Do you see making disciples for Jesus as your primary call in life? If that is not the case, you are not alone. You can do something about it. You can accept that call now.

You can determine that everything you are and do must contribute towards sharing the good news of the Kingdom of God with others and making new disciples for Jesus.

Take note that, this is simply a change in perspective. It’s easy to write it as a single sentence, but it is a complete transformation for anyone that accepts it.

If you choose to put first what Jesus puts first, then as a disciple of Jesus you will be at peace and you will be successful. You will bear much fruit.

What is your chief pursuit in life? Is it to draw others to Jesus by sharing the good news of the Kingdom? Then you are a true disciple of Jesus. You are also a BiVo Minister if you have a secondary vocation or a Full-time Minister if you have no other vocation.

2. Jesus is fully committed to this Ministry

The first reason why I believe you are called to BiVo Ministry should be enough to convince you.

But if you need 2 more, here is the second one. Jesus is committed to making disciples. Jesus declares in Matthew 16:18 that,

⁸And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

If you take up this privilege of letting Jesus build His church in you and through you as your primary task, then you are a coworker with Jesus.

I know that many of you, are wondering how you will make disciples. Please be at peace. Jesus is so committed to this business, that if you just yield to the impulses of the Holy Spirit, you will find people who want to be disciples of Jesus.

You are the body, Jesus does the work through you. The most important part is that you choose to accept that Jesus call ALL His disciples as disciple makers.

There is Joy in Heaven and in your heart when a new disciple begins the journey.

Yes discipleship is a journey. It starts when a person accepts that the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is true and was for him or her. Once a person accepts that Jesus is thier saviour and the call out to Him as Lord, then discipleship starts.

If you have ever led someone to Jesus, and you have experienced the joy that floods the heart of the new believer and yours, you will agree with me that it’s beyond explanation.

Jesus declares it in Luke 15:10

¹⁰Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Every disciple of Jesus has it in his or her spiritual DNA to seek and share the good news with the lost. As soon as you find Jesus or Jesus finds you, it becomes very important to you to share the good news with other people like you.

I know that many of you reading this article may have become discouraged about sharing the good news for many reasons. Maybe you have been rejected, persecuted, ridiculed or you just got distracted.

Whatever the case may be, I hope that you will be encouraged to know that Jesus has recruited you not just to share the gospel but to make disciples for Him. You may also be encouraged to know that Jesus is fully committed to this business and He will provide the supernatural resources you need. Your joy and the joy of every disciple will be fuller as you make now disciples.

This is what I believe Jesus has called me to do with this website. To encourage 1 million disciples to see themselves as BiVo Ministers and to become better at doing it.

A good book to read about BiVo Ministry is BiVo by Hugh Halter. He talks more about bivocational pastors and church planter. It is a very encouraging book for BiVo Pastors.

My addition to the discussion is that you don’t have to pastor a church or have an “organized or registered” ministry to be considered as a BiVo Minister. You can start by accepting the call of Jesus in your life.

Will you answer the call to be a disciple maker now?

If your answer is yes, then you would like my online course on Making Disciples for Jesus called The BiVo Minister.

Ephesians Prayers! 14 Powerful prayer points for other believers!

As a minister, you will need to pray for people often. There are some prayer points in the letters of the apostle paul that has transformed the lives of many people. I call these prayers the Ephesians Prayers and the Colossians Prayers.

It takes the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit to show to a person that he or she is lost without Christ Jesus.

It also takes the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring a believer to the place where they confess that without the power of the Holy Spirit, they can’t do anything of value for the Kingdom of God.

How then do we achieve these “impossible” tasks? We pray! We call on our heavenly Father to move upon His children and do what only He can do.

On this podcast episode, I share on how any BiVocational Minister can use the prayers of the apostle Paul in Ephesians (Ephesians 1:15 23; Ephesians 3:14-21) and Colossians (Col 1:9-12) to pray for believers and receive extraordinary results.

If you want to pray for lost souls, these prayers may not be the best, unless you modify them.
