Prayer for Unsaved Husband |Powerful Prayer Points

This year I asked for prayer requests from the brothers and sisters on my mailing list. I could not help but notice that a disproportionate number of them asked me to pray for their unsaved husbands. So I decided to write this post titled Prayer for unsaved husband. In it, I hope to share the prayer points I have been praying for these husbands so that if you need to pray for your husband, you can do the same.

Why are you praying for your unsaved husband?

I am sure you know that your prayers can make a big difference in your husband’s life. And you may also know that it would make a big difference in your life and the lives of your children as well.

This is exactly where you can make a mistake. Are you praying for your husband so that you can have an easier life or are you praying for your husband because you know that God is interested in him?

If you are praying a selfish prayer, it may take longer because God is more interested in transforming your heart so that you can be at peace and live in joy regardless of how your husband behaves.

I know that this may be hard to swallow, but it is the truth. Whenever we go to God in prayers for a selfish or self-centered request, we don’t get what we ask for. (James 4:3).

So I suggest that you start your intercession for your husband with a search in your heart to discover the true motive for your prayers. You can start with this prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father, I know you love my husband [name], please search my heart and help me to pray for him because you love him, because I love him and not just because it would be good for me.

If you find that you have been praying for him mostly because you want to have an easier life, then repent. Ask God to help you and begin to pray for him because you know that God wants him to surrender. You can use a prayer like this.

Dear Heavenly Father, I am sorry that I have been thinking of myself each time I have been praying for [name of your husband]. It’s not about me. It is about your will for [your husbands name]. From now on, I receive the grace to pray for [your husbands name] because you love him and I love him and you have a plan for his life.

Prayer of Faith for your unsaved husband

Are your sure that your husband would be saved and confess our Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and saviour?

You need to be sure of this so that you can receive your husband into the Kingdom of God.

I have discovered that when I pray based on an assurance from God, I always get what I pray for. And this is what our Lord Jesus teaches in Mark 11:22-24.

It is important that you are completely sure that our Heavenly Father has promised you what you are asking for. This will enable you to pray with great boldness and extraordinary confidence.

This confidence and assurance is usually based on a scripture that the Holy Spirit impresses on your heart as you come before the Lord in prayers or as you consider the situation. An example of such scripture is 1 Tim 2:4. It gives us confidence that God our father wants everyone to be saved.

There are more scriptures that the Lord may place on your heart. Use this scripture and pray with great confidence and boldness for the salvation of your husband. The question is no longer if he will be saved. What you are waiting to see is how and when.

This is the prayer of faith. It is prayer that leads to thanksgiving. You pray until you are sure and you spend time giving thanks for the salvation of your husband.

I got a very good understanding of the prayer of faith from a book on prevailing prayers by Charles Finney. You can read an online version of a chapter in the book here.

Prayer Points for your unsaved husband

Now that we have covered the state of mind that you must be in to pray, you are now ready to pray for your husband.

I suggest that you let the Holy Spirit lead you to pray for him. The truth is you really do not know exactly how to pray for him. But the Holy Spirit in you is always willing to help you pray (Rom 8:26).

Here are a few prayer points you can start with. Please do not be limited to these prayer points. Let the Holy Spirit guide you to pray similar prayers that are specific to your husband.

1 Tim 2: 1-6 

[su_box title=”Sample Prayer” box_color=”#2aa9d5″]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.[/su_box]

Ephesians 2:1-5

[su_box title=”Sample Prayer” box_color=”#2aa9d5″]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.

Warfare for your unsaved husband

2Cor 4:4 (NLT)

[su_box title=”Sample Prayer” box_color=”#2aa9d5″]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.

More Prayer Points like this

I have more prayer points like this in my article on how to pray for lost souls. I suggest that you take more prayer points from there as your intercede for your husband.

Pray for Yourself

This is a very important part of this process. Your life is the most vivid example that your husband has of what the kingdom of God looks like. In 1Pet 3:1 we see that a husband can be won to the Kingdom of God by the behavior of their wives.

So please ask the Lord to help you to reflect the Kingdom of God and the life of Jesus so clearly that your husband would be won to Jesus. You can pray like this.

[su_box title=”Sample Prayer” box_color=”#2aa9d5″]Dear Heavenly Father, Please continue to do your work in me. Help me to live like you and love [name of your husband] unconditionally. Let your life in me convict him and attract him to You. Let him taste and see that Your kingdom is great by his interaction with me. Please Lord, let your extraordinary love for [your husband’s name] flow through my eyes, my mouth, my attitude and my behavior. I ask all this in Jesus’ name.[/su_box]

Forgive your Husband

The first action that the Lord would help you to do is to forgive your husband. If you do not forgive, it is hard to have faith in God. (Mark 11:25)

Final Words

I am praying along with you and I am confident that if you follow the guide here, you will see your husband come into the Kingdom of God. I am confident that God who lead you to this article has great plans for your husband. Please do not forget to send me a note when your husband comes home to the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father.

10 Powerful Prayer Points from Matthew 9 that will change you and your family!

In our church family, we have been led to pray in a chain for 30 days in January 2021 round the clock while reading through the book of Matthew. Here are the powerful prayer points that I have extracted from Matthew 9. Use it and add yours to it.

  1. Oh Lord, you know my thoughts! I receive grace to always reject evil thoughts from my heart. Help me dear Lord to focus on You and Your will for me. (Matt 9:4)
  2. Oh Lord, I have faith in you. I place my life at your feet. Please work in me so that I can bring more glory to you. I pray in Jesus’ Name. (Matt 9:1-3).
  3. Dear Lord, shine your light on my life and reveal the sins that limit my effectiveness and fruitfulness. I receive grace today to obey all your instructions in the name of Jesus. (Matt 9:5-7).
  4. Oh Lord please continue to do wonders in my heart and all my life such that people who see me in action will glorify You, my God. (Matt 9:8).

My body! Receive healing now in the name of Jesus. As I lay hands and pray for the sick in your name, dear Lord glorify yourself and let them receive healing. (Matt 9: 27-35)
  10. Dear Heavenly Father, you are the Lord of the harvest.

Dear Lord, please help me to recognize the people who are ready to be brought into the Kingdom. Help me to preach the good news of the kingdom, to heal the sick, cast out demons, and show your love to the people all around me by brings your solutions to their problems. (Matt 9:37-38).

How to Disciple Someone Effectively – 7 Time Tested Tips!

One question that comes up often when talking about making disciples is this. How do I disciple another person effectively?

I would not pretend to have all the answers to this question. However, I would like to suggest a few points that would help you to disciple another person effectively!

Let’s start by asking another question. How did Jesus disciple the apostles? (Mark 3:14-19)

  • Jesus called 12 men.
  • They stayed with Him and observed Him as much as they heard His teachings.
  • The were sent to do what Jesus did (preach, meet needs by destroying the works of the devil).
  • They were not perfect – they all denied and deserted him at the last minute.
  • One of them betrayed Him.

What was the result of Jesus’ Method?

  • Although they all deserted Him, they were restored and they continued the work.
  • They were accused of turning the world upside down
  • We still have hundreds of millions of disciples today over 2000 years after.

Following the example of Jesus, how do you disciple someone effectively?

  1. Disciple people in small groups (3-12)
  2. Baptize them (make sure you are water baptized) (Matt 28:16-20)
  3. Let the disciples see you and watch you as you follow Jesus.
  4. Show them how to read, understand and obey Jesus from scriptures. (You can use the DBS method).
  5. Give them a lot of opportunities to practice what you are doing and teaching. That is listening to and obeying Jesus. (Luke 10, Matthew 10).
  6. Let them start making efforts to disciple others as soon as they have started following Jesus. Remember that one of the main instructions of Jesus is to make disciples. (Matt 28:16-20)
  7. Let Love be evident in you and show the disciples that Love is the greatest commandment. (Luke 10:25-28)

Is this for Pastors only?

I know you are wondering if this article is for pastors only.

No! It’s for all disciples. You baptize new believers. You show them how you obey God’s instructions from scriptures and in your spirit. You work with groups instead of individuals. You train and expect them to do the same things that you are doing.

So you may wonder what the characteristics of a disciple are. I wrote about them here.

Why do you think Jesus worked with a group?

I have a few reasons why Jesus may have worked with a group. There may be some more. If you think of more please add them to the comments section below.

  • When working with a group, you can still deal with individual issues from time to time.
  • Working with a group makes it possible for the members of the group to challenge and encourage one another.
  • working with a group protects you because there are always witnesses to what is going on.
  • If a person is thinking in a way that is very different from the group, they can easily see it.
  • When some are weak, the other members of the group can strengthen them.
  • When you are no longer around them as much, they can remind one another about what you have shown and taught them.

As a pastor I have a lot of experience with this. There are things I hear the church family members who were around us when we first started to actively make disciples say that makes my spirit dance for joy.

It’s amazing these days to just watch people share the life of Christ with others. We have even begun to see the children share some of the truth that they have learned. It’s such a joy!

So how do you begin the process of discipling a group of people?

The first step usually is to be a good disciple yourself. Make Jesus and his mission your priority and then have a simple but consistent disciple-making routine.

As you spread the love of Jesus to everyone around you and speak affectionately and passionately about Jesus, you will soon find people who are interested in know Him. You then lead them to Jesus through a discovery bible study in what we call a Discovery Group.

Thats how the group starts and thats how you begin the process of discipling someone effectively.

I started my first group in 2001 in Montreal Canada among university students. These students are now married (some married each other) and they are making disciples for Jesus today. At that time I did not know about the Discovery Bible Study. Regardless we used what we had and the Lord blessed our work.

You can start today with a simple disciple making routine and lots of prayers.

Really practical steps that you can use to disciple anyone. That is, help someone move from a new believer to a matured believer.

One thing every Disciple Maker must do to make your message more effective!

Your actions speak so loud, I cannot hear what you are saying.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I pray that no one would ever say this about you.

What I hope that people would say about you is this!

Your actions speak so loud, I am so sure that God is real and you really know Him.

Don’t think that you have to be perfect in your behaviour for people to sense the presence of God around you.

God would reveal Himself through you if you do just one thing!

What is that one thing?

Treat EVERYONE you meet, as if your Heavenly Father sent them to you! or Love Everyone around you like you love yourself. Or Do to others what you want them to do to you. (Luke 6:31; Mark 12:31).

If you are born again, and the Holy Spirit lives in you, this one thing would get easier as you allow the Holy Spirit to take charge of your life.

I know that there are very many steps involved in allowing the Holy Spirit to take charge of your life. However, all those steps are for the Holy Spirit to do.

The Holy Spirit has been transforming all kinds of people to kind, loving, gentle people for thousands of years. He would do a good job with you.

Let me give you a quick tip!

Start by confessing to the Holy Spirit that you cannot love unconditionally without His help. Tell Him that you would not try. That you trust Him to do it in you. Tell Him that as He helps you, you will obey Him. (Phil 2:13).

Then watch the Holy Spirit do what He does best over the course of your life!

This same principle is what is needed in every aspect of our walk with God. We confess our weakness and surrender to the Holy Spirit’s leadership and we simply obey as He transforms our lives.

You can heal the sick, get victory over sin or habit, operate the gifts of the spirit, make disciples, transform cities all by the power of the Holy Spirit.

My biggest challenge all these years as the Holy Spirit has been working on me is that after learning a few things, I start thinking that “I’ve got this”. Then I fall flat on my face. So over time, I have come to learn that, I am never going to get it. I will always need to trust the Holy Spirit. Now it feels much easier in most areas.

When was the Apostle Paul more Fruitful? While Traveling or while in Prison?

While praying yesterday it suddenly occurred to me that it is impossible to limit a person who is fully yielded to God from being fruitful in ministry.

The things that limit our ministry are never external. The devil can only limit us when we yield internally to his tricks.

Attacks of the devil from outside you can only limit your physical movements or activities but not the power or effectiveness of your ministry. I believe that these attacks of the enemy are used by our loving Heavenly Father to teach us to fight and in the process we become even more effective.

When Paul the apostle was traveling around to preach the good news of the kingdom of God he reach thousands of people. And those people reached other people. However when he was imprisoned he was able to mentor those people and more people by writing letters that are read billions of times every year!

Why did God allow Paul to be imprisoned? Because God knew that the prison would not limit God’s plan in the life of Paul.

When you abandon your life and take up the life of Christ. There is nothing that can limit the life of Christ in you. Limits can only come when we still want something for ourselves.

“But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭20:24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I remember moments in my walk with God when I have recognized a new level of surrender. When I knew that I’m letting go of something that I wanted for myself to get whatever Jesus my Lord was asking!

It takes the grace of God to live as if your life doesn’t belong to you. But I tell you the truth. There is no better way to live.

What are your thoughts? What’s going on in your heart with regards to when Paul was more fruitful? Please share with me in the comments section below.

The Story of Dr. Paul! One decision that made a major difference!

Jesus is the savior of many believers! But He is not yet their Lord. I like going back to this story shared by Watchman Nee in his book titled “The Normal Christian Life“.

Please read it and answer this question.

Is there anything that God wants you to do that you think is too much?

Here is the story as written by Watchman Nee (chapter 8).

The Story of Dr Paul

An American friend, now with the Lord, whose name we will call Paul, cherished the hope from his early youth that one day he would be called “Dr. Paul.” When he was quite a little chap he began to dream of the day when he would enter the university, and he imagined himself first studying for his M.A. degree and then for his Ph.D. Then at length the glad day would arrive when all would greet him as “Dr. Paul.”

The Lord saved him and called him to preach, and before long he became pastor of a large congregation. By that time he had his degree and was studying for his doctorate, but, despite splendid progress in his studies and a good measure of success as a pastor, he was a very dissatisfied man. He was a Christian minister, but his life was not Christ-like; he had the Spirit of God within him, but he did not enjoy the Spirit’s presence or experience His power.

He thought to himself, “I am a preacher of the Gospel and the pastor of a church. I tell my people they should love the Word of God, but I do not really love it myself. I exhort them to pray, but I myself have little inclination to pray. I tell them to live a holy life, but my own life is not holy. I warn them not to love the world, and, though outwardly I shun it, yet in my heart I myself still love it dearly.”

In his distress he cried to the Lord to cause him to know the power of the indwelling Spirit, but though he prayed and prayed for months, no answer came. Then he fasted, and asked the Lord to show him any hindrance there might be in his life. That answer was not long in coming, and it was this: “I long that you should know the power of My Spirit, but your heart is set on something that I do not wish you to have. You have yielded to Me all but one thing, and that one thing you are holding to yourself – your Ph.D.”

Well, to you or me it might be of little consequence whether we were addressed as plain “Mr. Paul” or as “Dr. Paul,” but to him it was his very life. He had dreamed of it from childhood, and labored for it all through his youth, and now the thing he prized above all else was almost within his grasp. In two short months it would be his.

So he reasoned with the Lord in this wise: “Is there any harm for me to be a Doctor of Philosophy? Will it not bring much more glory to Your name to have a Dr. Paul preaching the Gospel than a plain Mr. Paul?

But God does not change His mind, and all Mr. Paul’s sound reasoning did not alter the Lord’s word to him. Every time he prayed about the matter he got the same answer. Then, reasoning having failed, he resorted to bargaining with the Lord. He promised to go here or there, to do this or that, if only the Lord would allow him to have his doctor’s degree; but still the Lord did not change. And all the while Mr. Paul was becoming more and more hungry to know the fullness of the Spirit. This state of affairs continued to within two days of his final examination.

It was Saturday, and Mr. Paul settled down to prepare his sermon for the following day, but, study as he would, he could get no message. The ambition of a lifetime was just within reach of realization, but God made it clear that he must choose between the power he could sway through a doctor’s degree and the power of God’s Spirit swaying his life. That evening he yielded. “Lord,” he said, “I am willing to be plain Mr. Paul all my days, but I want to know the power of the Holy Ghost in my life.”

He rose from his knees, and wrote a letter to his examiners asking to be excused from the examination on the Monday, and giving his reason. He retired, very happy, but not conscious of any unusual experience. Next morning he told his congregation that for the first time in six years he had no sermon to preach, and explained how it came about. The Lord blessed that testimony more abundantly than any of his well-prepared sermons, and from that time God owned him in an altogether new way. From that day he knew separation from the world, no longer merely as an outward thing but as a deep inward reality, and as a result, the blessedness of the Spirit’s presence and power became his daily experience.

God is waiting for a settlement of all our controversies with him. With Mr. Paul it was a question of his doctor’s degree, but with us it may be something quite different.

Our complete surrender of ourselves to the Lord generally hinges upon some one particular thing, and God waits for that one thing. He must have it, for He must have our all. I was greatly impressed by something a great national leader wrote in his autobiography: “I want nothing for myself; I want everything for my country.” If a man can be willing that his country should have everything and he himself nothing, cannot we say to our God: “Lord, I want nothing for myself; I want all for You. I will what You will, and I want to have nothing outside Your will.” Not until we take the place of a servant can He take His place as Lord. He is not calling us to devote ourselves to His cause;

He is asking us to yield ourselves unconditionally to His will.

Are you prepared for that?

Conclusion

Yes Lord! I devote myself completely to You!

I remember very well, how God opened my eyes to see that there is no better job to have on earth than servant of God.

Thank you Lord for choosing me to serve you. And for showing me that Making Disciples is my first and only occupation.

Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Do you know what God is up to in your city?

I sometimes wonder if we as believers know the meaning of the things we claim. For example when we say things like “I spend time with God”. Do you ask about what’s top on God’s mind for your city?

The truth is:

To know what is most important to God in any city, you don’t need a prophecy!

God makes this clear all through scriptures.

God wants all His creations to glorify Him. In particular He wants all humans that are lost to be reconciled to Him. (Luke 15).

So what is God up to?

I’m glad you are asking! This is the first step. To be aware that God has a plan for the city where you live is a good thing.

The next step is to accept that whatever God’s plan is, it has the highest priority on your life!

After that, the next step is to make that plan or desire the most important thing you ask for in prayers daily. Pray about it daily and many times during the day.

Now, what is God up to?

God is drawing people to Himself! God wants everyone in your city to have a taste of His kingdom! And you are just one of His partners.

As you pray for more laborers (Luke 10:2). You will discover more details about what God is doing.

Don’t let anyone deceive you with high sounding prophecies! If you focus on the revealed truth, God will give you more details.

And He will make disciples through you!

In the city of Cornwall, Ontario we are believing and praying to God for 2,500 simple expressions of church (House Churches) to display the Kingdom of God and the love of Jesus in the city!

Share with me! What is God up to in your city?

Do you use a prayer calendar?

I started using a prayer calendar last month and it’s been very powerful! Since last month.

  • It has helped me to pray more specifically for people.
  • It has stirred other believers to pray for members of the body of Christ.
  • It has also helped me to see more clearly that the body of Christ is one.
  • With the prayer calendar, I was inspired to pray specifically for some people that I had not prayed for in a while.
  • I was able to keep in touch with family and friends and pray for them at the same time.

I love praying for people around me and I pray for believers and not-yet-believers. But before now I prayed for them when I remembered and for a smaller group of people regularly. And for these people I prayed as the Holy Spirit led me.

With the prayer calendar, I get to pray for more people and get them involved in the process. I still pray as led by the Holy Spirit but I pray for more people.

What is a prayer calendar?

I didn’t come up with the idea! Here it is in the video below.

So dear one, make your prayer calendar today. Write your list of 30 people or 31.

Try to get them from different church families and cities.

On my list I placed couples on the same day!

Have a blessed time praying for the body of Christ and don’t forget to share your experience with me.

If you have a prayer calendar please share your thoughts in the comments section below!

The Prayer Calendar - This is a good tool to help you pray for family and friends.

Heal the sick? Not just pray for the sick? Yes you can!

Yes! Heal the sick then announce that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 10:9).

This is a part of the instructions that Jesus gave to His disciples. Please take note that He did not say:

Preach to the sick

Pray for the sick – we may choose to pray for them for other things.

He said heal the sick!

To me this means the the disciples knew how to heal the sick.

Also take note that Jesus instructed them to heal the sick even before announcing the kingdom.

The way I read this is that healing the sick is the first demonstration of God’s Kingdom to the people who are open to knowing God.

Those who ask for help in the area of healing! Any type of healing!

Another point I have noticed from this instruction is that Jesus knew that they could heal the sick. He told them to do it.

He did not say try to heal the sick!

When you meet a person who is open to you, shows you love and respect even when they know how much you love God. If they open up their circle of influence to you then, bless them! Pray for them and heal the sick among them!

Tell them about the Kingdom of God and invite them to start a discovery group. Stay with them and guide them until they believe in and commit to following Jesus!

Then baptize them in water!

Don’t stop until they are baptized!

Then coach them until they baptize someone else!

Hallelujah!

What is your Disciple-Making Routine (Little Steps)?

Growing up I heard people say things like: “A journey of a hundred kilometers starts with one step”, and “little drops of water make a mighty ocean”.

These things are very true for every goal you want to achieve.

To achieve a big goal, break it into very small bits and repeat those small steps consistently and you will achieve your goal.

To write a book, you can write a sentence every day. If you can be disciplined enough to write that sentence every day, you would have a book written eventually. Some days you may write a few pages and other days you may struggle to finish that one sentence but after some time, the book will be done! Right?

The same principle works for disciple making.

Let’s break it down into smaller steps that you can repeat every day and every week.

  • Pray every day for a lost person by name
  • Spend at least 1 hrs daily alone with God (you can do it in 1-4 chunks)
  • Make someone smile every day (don’t worry if they are believers or not. Just love people unconditionally and pray for them).
  • Go out among the lost and aim for a meaningful conversation every week (this doesn’t need to be a spiritual conversation).
  • Trust God to invite someone to do a Discovery Bible Study once a month.
  • Pray with another believer about disciple making for at least 30mins once a week.

If you are doing these consistently and looking out for people of peace, you would soon begin to see Discovery Bible Study Groups start.

Please let me know your thoughts about these steps! Share with me in the comments section below.
