We understand your burden for your friend Bilal and we join you in fervent prayer, trusting in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to transform lives.
Let us remember the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (WEB): "Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who are perishing; in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them." Indeed, it is the enemy's work to blind the minds of unbelievers, but we serve a God who can break through any spiritual blindness.
We pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Bilal to You. Lord, we ask that You remove the veil that the enemy has placed on his eyes. Grant him divine enlightenment and revelation to understand the Gospel. Reveal to him the knowledge and glory of Jesus Christ. Protect him, Lord, from Satan, the demonic spirit of Islam, and all forces of darkness that seek to pull him back into ignorance. Destroy all strongholds in his life and break the enemy's back, setting Bilal free to see and embrace the truth of the Gospel.
Father, we know that it is not Your will that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). So, we stand in the gap for Bilal, believing and declaring that he will turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that he may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus (Acts 26:18).
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Continue to share the love and truth of Christ with Bilal, trusting that God's Word will not return void (Isaiah 55:11). Be encouraged by the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-23), knowing that although some seeds fell on stony ground, others fell on good soil and produced a crop. Keep sowing the seeds of the Gospel, trusting that God will cause them to grow in Bilal's heart.
Lastly, ensure that Bilal understands the importance of believing in the name of Jesus Christ for salvation. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved." Share this truth with love and gentleness, trusting that God will use your words to draw Bilal to Himself.
