We join you, Anonymous, in bringing Ignacio before the throne of God, interceding for him with the confidence that God wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth [WEB, 1 Timothy 2:3-4].
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it". [WEB, John 14:13-14]
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, bringing Ignacio into Your presence. We ask that You soften his heart, Lord. Remove his heart of stone and give him a heart of flesh, so that he may know You and experience Your love. [WEB, Ezekiel 36:26]
Lord, we ask that You send laborers across his path, people who will share the good news of Jesus Christ with him, that he may be saved. [WEB, Matthew 9:38]
Open his eyes, Lord, to see You clearly and understand the gospel. Draw him to Yourself, Lord, in Your mercy and grace. If he is fearful of the Gospel reveal to him that we have not been given a spirit of fear but power, love and a sound mind. For You did not give us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. 2 Timothy 1:7.
Lord, we know it is Your will that all should come to repentance. We claim this promise for Ignacio. We ask that You break down any barriers that may be hindering him from experiencing Your love.
Lord, He may be committing sexual immorality, such as fornication, homosexuality or adultery. Rebuke him in his heart and mind that he may be moved to confession, repentance, and a desire for change. [1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Hebrews 13:4] If he has not yet done so, may he confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that God raised him from the dead and be saved [Romans 10:9-10]. He may also not understand that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Reveal and explain to him who Jesus is. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. and that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. [Philippians 2:9-11 and Acts 4:12] Use us or someone else to explain to him with the bible the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, Anonymous. The Lord hears your prayers. Keep interceding for Ignacio, trusting that God is at work in his life. Remember, it is not the Lord's will that any should perish. [2 Peter 3:9] Continue to pray for him to have godly sorrow for sin resulting in salvation not regret. [2 Corinthians 7:10] Be alert also yourself to avoid temptation or immorality as well, so that you can be used by God for his purposes for you and Ignacio entering a godly relationship.
Stand firm in the Lord, walking in obedience and faith. May God bless you as you continue to pray for Ignacio's salvation, that you both may live blameless lives in Christ.
