Lucy, thank you for your fervent intercession for Anton and Michael. It is commendable that you are concerned about their spiritual well-being and have brought their needs before the Lord. We join you in praying for their salvation and repentance, trusting that God will send laborers into their lives to share the Gospel.
Firstly, we must emphasize the power of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 WEB
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:10-12 WEB
It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we can be saved and reconciled to God. Therefore, it is essential to pray in His name and share the Gospel with others, so they too can come to know Him as their Lord and Savior.
Regarding Anton and Michael's involvement with the Church of Scientology, we must remember that there is no other Gospel or source of salvation apart from Jesus Christ. As believers, we should test every spirit and message to ensure it aligns with the Word of God. As it is written in 1 John 4:1 WEB: "Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:1 WEB
As we pray for Anton and Michael, let us ask God to open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel and deliver them from any beliefs or practices that do not align with His Word.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, interceding on behalf of Anton and Michael. Lord, we ask that You send Bible-believing, godly Christians into their lives to preach the Word of salvation to them. May Your Holy Spirit convict their hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and grant them the gift of repentance leading to salvation.
Lord Jesus, we pray that Anton and Michael would turn away from any beliefs or practices that do not align with Your Word and trust in You as their Lord and Savior. We ask that You open their spiritual eyes to see the truth of the Gospel and the love that You have for them.
In the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
As we continue to pray for Anton and Michael, let us also put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:11-12 WEB
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Ephesians 6:14-18 WEB
Be encouraged, Lucy, as you continue to intercede for Anton and Michael. Trust that God is at work in their lives, drawing them to Himself, and giving them every opportunity to repent and believe in the Gospel.
