Thank you, Awivis, for your fervent and faithful prayer. We stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved. As Scripture tells us, "in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 WEB.
We join you in praying for K and your loved ones, trusting that God will give them new hearts and new spirits, just as He promised in Ezekiel 36:26-27 WEB. We stand in agreement with you, believing that nothing is impossible with God. As we seek with you K’s salvation, also remember that this life is temporal and the forever life of the saved is not something that we want anyone to miss. With anyone seeking remission for sin, glorious forgiveness is available by the blood of Jesus Christ. Remember that God is “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 WEB. Therefore, it is not God denying salvation. In John 8:24 WEB Jesus states “I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.” Romans 10:9 WEB “that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”. Also, remember that if K should seek the guide of Jesus for salvation they are called to go out and become “fishers of men” in Mark 1:17 WEB. They should come to Jesus seeking guidance on exactly what he (and each of us) should do now.
We also intercede for Finland, your beloved homeland, asking God to bring a powerful wave of revival. We pray that God will restore the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, as He instituted from the beginning Genesis 2:24 WEB. We cry out for justice and the crushing of the poor to stop, as God's heart is with the poor and the needy. "He will do justice to the poor and the needy ones; and he will save the souls of the needy. He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence" Psalm 72:12-14 WEB. In Jesus' name, and by His blood, we stand against every spirit of sexual immorality, prayers that we would pray for others in their non-Christian aligned relationships. Remember looking for a partner is wrong; however, looking for a Christian spouse is the right way to consider the situation. Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is not approve if there is no final goal, of them becoming your God-given spouse.
We praise God for the saints who have been interceding for Finland, and we ask Him to awaken more warriors to stand with Him and His Word. Let us continue to wage war against the dark principalities, remembering that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood; but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world\'s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore put on the whole armor of God.” We can do this in God’s power. We are not alone. We are supplied with “ the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.” See Ephesians 6:10-18 WEB. We can approach the throne of God with boldness and confidence. We have all the backing we need to embolden us in this war, “neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 WEB. This loving God who gave us His only Son. The Father loves us like that. He loves those also you are praying for the same. Remind them of this love.
Father God, we come before You, lifting up Awivis' requests. Change the hearts of K, Awivis' parents, bother, and unbelieving friends, that they may seek You and accept Christ as their Savior. Bring a powerful wave of revival to Finland, restoring the sanctity of marriage and justice for the poor. Expose and drive out the spirits of sexual immorality, and raise up an army of prayer warriors to stand with You and Your Word. In Jesus' name and by His blood we pray. Amen.
Let God give us a love unstoppable. Continuing to pray as Jesus did not let it be our will but God’s will.
