PRAYING FOR OUR LOST LOVED ONES, Romans 1-10




"My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who will believe in me
through their message" -John 17:20

***
PRAYER FOR THE ISRAELITES AND OUR LOST LOVED ONES
Father God, our heart’s desire and prayer to You for the Israelites and for our lost loved ones is that they may be saved.
-
Some are zealous for You, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they do not know Your righteousness and seek to establish their own, they do not submit to Your righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
-
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law:
-
“The person who does these things will live by them.”
-
But the righteousness that is by faith says,
-
“The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart. If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
-
That is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim.
-
As Scripture says,
-
“Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
-
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, The same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for,
-
“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
-
We pray the Israelites and our lost loved ones will call on the name of the Lord Jesus. Those that believe, help their unbelief. We pray the Gospel message of salvation will reach their ears, and they will hear with their ears. LORD OF THE HARVEST, we pray You send preachers of the Gospel. to the Israelites and to our lost loved ones. We declare with You:
-
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
-
We pray the Israelites and our lost loved ones accept the good news. May they believe Your message. May it be fulfilled in their ears that this message--the word of Christ-- brings them faith.
-
We pray that the Israelites and our lost loved that have not sought You, be found by You. Reveal Yourself to those that have not asked for You.
We pray, You forgive this disobedient and obstinate people, LORD OF MERCY AND GRACE.
-
We pray and thank You in Jesus name.

PRAYER FOR THE ISRAELITES AND OUR LOST LOVED ONES
Heavenly Father, the Apostle Paul spoke the truth in Christ, his conscience being confirmed through the Holy Spirit. He had great sorrow and unceasing anguish in his heart for those of the people of Israel. We also pray for the salvation of Your people Israel, LORD, and for the salvation of our own according to the flesh that are lost.
-
Belonging to Israel is the:
-
adoption to son-ship
divine glory
Covenants
receiving of the law
temple worship
promises
patriarchs
human ancestry of the Messiah, Who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.
-
Your Word has not failed. Not all descendants from Israel are Abraham’s children of the promise. It is through Isaac & through Jacob that your offspring will be reckoned who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.
-
For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
-
LORD, You are not unjust, and You will have mercy on whom You will have mercy, and You will have compassion on whom You will have compassion. Your people Israel did not become like Sodom and Gomorrah, but You always left a remnant, and at the time appointed all Israel shall be saved! As it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob."
-
We humbly depend on Your mercy to save our lost loved ones. Do not harden their hearts, we pray. You are the Potter, we are the clay. Pray we, to make our lost loved ones pottery for special purposes for Your glory. Make our lost loved ones objects of Your mercy. We are awed that You called Jews and Gentiles also to make the riches of Your glory known.
-
As You said in Hosea
“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”
-
and,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.”
-
Your Word tells us that the Gentiles obtained a righteousness that is by faith. Israel pursued the law as the way of righteousness, but have not attained their goal, because they pursued it not by faith and stumbled over the stumbling stone.

-
As it is written:
-
“See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”
-
Father, we pray for Israel and our lost loved ones that they will believe in Jesus Christ and not stumble and fall, nor be put to shame. Father, we ask it and thank You in Jesus. Amen.
***
FATHER GOD in the name of Jesus we come boldly to Your throne to find Your mercy and grace to help in our need.
-
Thanking You, that there is now no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus, and through Him, the law of the Spirit Who gives life has set us free from the law of sin and death. The law was powerless because our flesh was weak. But You sent Your own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering, condemning sin in the flesh that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us who live according to the Spirit.
-
Help our lost loved ones who live according to the flesh and have their minds set on what the flesh desires. We pray that they will live in accordance with Your Spirit and have their minds set on what Your Spirit desires. We pray that their mind be governed by Your Spirit so that they might have life and peace. Their mind governed by the flesh is hostile to You, it doesn't submit to Your law, nor can it do so. Therefore, living in the realm of the flesh is not pleasing to You. We pray Your Spirit will live in our lost loved ones so that they might belong to Christ.
-
LORD even though our body is subject to death because of sin, Your Spirit gives us life because of righteousness. Your Spirit Who raised Jesus from the dead is living in us, and You Who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to our mortal bodies because of Your Spirit Who lives in us. Now our obligation is to live for You. LORD we don't want our lost loved ones to die for living according to the flesh. We pray to You that they put to death the misdeeds of the body by Your Spirit and live. By receiving Your Spirit they will not fear. We want for You to adopt them. We cry to You, Abba Father, calling upon You to save them from their sins. Then Your Spirit Himself will testify with their spirit that they are Your children--and Your heirs, and co-heirs with Christ.
-
We all share in Christ's sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory. Our present sufferings cannot compare with the glory that will be revealed in us, Whom You liberated. You saved us for the redemption of our bodies, which hope we have. We see that hope through faith, and we wait for it patiently.
Your Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but Your Spirit intercedes for us through wordless groans, and You who searches our hearts know the mind of Your Spirit because He intercedes for us in accordance with Your will.
We are praying that You save our lost loved ones, knowing that this is Your will; knowing that You hear us, knowing that for this cause You sent Your Son to seek and save the lost, and knowing we will have what we ask for. We are praying believing, in Jesus name.
***
HEAVENLY FATHER SAVE OUR LOST LOVED ONES FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH THROUGH THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT WHO GIVES LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, we approach Your throne of grace and continue to hold up our lost loved ones to You for salvation. Deliver them, LORD, from the realm of the flesh, from the sinful passions arroused by the law that is at work in them, the cause of their bearing fruit for death. Help them LORD. They need to die to what binds them and be released from the law so that they can serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
-
The law points out sins, and if only broken at one point, all are broken. The law is holy, the commandment is holy, righteous and good. We know that the law is spiritual; but we are unspiritual, sold as slaves to sin. What we want to do, we don't. What we don't want to do, we do. It is sin living in us, because there is none good, all have sinned and fall short of Your glory. We have the desire to do good, but can't carry it out.
-
Although we want to do good, evil is right there with us. In the inner being, we delight in Your law. But there is another law at work in us, waging war against the law of our mind and making us a prisoner of the law of sin at work within us. We are wretched in the flesh!
But THANKS BE TO YOU, LORD, for through Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, you rescued us from this body that is subject to death. And this, we pray You do for our lost loved ones also, that You save them from their sinful nature, for there is now no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set us free from the law of sin and death.
-
Thank You, Father, we pray in Jesus name.
***
Praise You Father, worthy is the Lamb Jesus Christ Whom You raised from the dead through Your glory, that we too may live a new life, being crucified of our old self with Him that we should no longer be slaves to sin. All praise to the Lamb and to You Who sits on the throne!
-
We bring to You our lost loved ones, that You save them too that sin will not reign in their mortal body to obey its evil desires as an instrument of wickedness. LORD, we pray that you bring them from death to life. You want for them to offer every part of themselves to You as instruments of righteousness. Sin shall no longer be their master because they will be under Your grace.
-
Set our lost loved ones free from and sin. We pray they come to obey from their heart Your teaching and give allegiance to what You say and be free indeed from the control of sin.
-
Father God, we want to see our lost loved ones reap the benefits that leads to holiness, and the result of eternal life. The wages of sin is death, but THE GIFT from You is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. To You and the Lamb all praise and glory for You are worthy!
-
We pray to You with thanksgiving, in Jesus name.
***
Thank You Heavenly Father that we have peace with You through our Lord Jesus Christ through Whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
We are glorying in our sufferings also for lost loved ones. We know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because Your love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, Who has been given to us.

Thank You that You are still demonstrating Your love for our lost loved ones that you demonstrated to us when we were still powerless. Christ died for the ungodly; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, and Christ died for our lost loved ones.

We pray our lost loved ones will also be justified by the precious blood of our Savior Jesus Christ the Lord. Save them from Your wrath. Through Him, they will no longer be Your enemies, but be reconciled to You through the death of Your Son. How much more will they be saved through His life. We pray Your grace, and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow them. Justify them and make them righteous.

May our lost loved ones not be mistaken that there is no hope for them. Reveal to them that when sin increased, grace increased all the more, so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring them eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thank You, LORD, in Jesus name amen.
***
LORD, in praying for our lost loved ones, they need credit from You, as you gave it to father Abraham. LORD, we trust You, the God who justifies the ungodly because our faith in You is credited to us for righteousness.

We DECLARE the Words of Your Spirit given to Your Servant David:

“Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”

Help our lost love ones that are of little faith. Nourish them, LORD, that it will be credited to them for righteousness by You, and we pray they will also receive a circumcised heart, and the fruit of the Spirit as a seal of the righteousness that is by faith. Right now, we don’t see that fruit, but our hope is in You who also saved us from our sins. We are in a journey, walking in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham. We want for our lost loved ones to also receive the promise of the righteousness that comes by faith and by grace.

LORD, we who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ declare by faith, and receive the Word
You gave to Abraham, and to his seed today, Your church.

THE PROMISE IS GUARANTEED TO ALL OF ABRAHAM’S OFFSPRING, the father
of us all. LORD, we love our offspring and our brethren that You gave to us according to the flesh. This is the prayer we lift to You that You save them too. We praise You, and will continue to give You glory as father Abraham did, believing in you, THE GOD WHO GIVES LIFE TO THE DEAD AND CALLS INTO BEING THINGS THAT WERE NOT.

Against all hope, in hope we believe in You, though the circumstances with our lost loved ones are good as dead. We receive Your Word that You gave to father Abraham:

“SO SHALL YOUR OFFSPRING BE.”

Strengthen us not to weaken in our faith, nor waver through unbelief regarding Your promise to save our lost loved ones. We are fully persuaded that You have the power to do what You
promised. LORD, this our faith is credited to us by You as righteousness, that we believe nothing shall be impossible with You, and believe in You who raised Jesus our Lord from
the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and raised to life for our justification.
We pray our lost loved ones will attain to this righteousness also. In Jesus name. Glory to God!

LORD, first of all, I thank You for the Jews, to whom You entrusted Your very Words. Bless them today LORD. Their unfaithfulness, as ours, will not nullify Your faithfulness. You are true to Your Word, and let every man that does not speak according to Your oracles be a liar. Deliver our lost loved ones from the power of sin. For of oneself, there is none righteous.

Save our lost loved ones from throats that are open graves, from the deceitful tongue, from the poison on the lips, from mouths that are full of cursing and bitterness. We pray our lost loved ones make peace with You through Your Son and that the fear of God be before their eyes.

LORD, we do not have self righteousness and our own works are as filthy rags to You. Without our Savior, we are all condemned under the law if we even broke it at one point. The law outside our hearts only shows us how sinful we are. Our mouths are stopped, we cannot cast the first stone at others. We came short of Your glory before Your Son made the way to You, Heavenly Father.

But today, Your Son has fulfilled what the Law and Prophets testified, even angels long to look into these things. Your righteousness has been made known and given to us through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. You have justified us freely by Your grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. We pray this redemption for our lost loved ones also, LORD.

Father God, You presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement through the shedding of His blood to be received by faith. You are just, we should have all been punished, But now you justified those that have faith in Jesus.
As the angels, may our lost loved ones also look into these things. LORD, make Your righteousness known to them that they may also receive righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, Your Son. May Your Son be lifted up before our lost loved ones that He may draw them to Himself as You have presented Him: the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. They believe, LORD, help their unbelief. We pray in Jesus name.
 
***
FATHER GOD, we bring these our lost loved ones to You today. Merciful Savior, help them against the flesh, the world, and the devil. We pray deliverance for them from their stubbornness and unrepentant heart. We pray they will no longer show contempt for the riches of Your kindness, forbearance, and patience. Help them to realize Your kindness intended to lead them to repentance.

We want to remain persistent in doing good, for we seek glory, honor, and immortality and the eternal life You promised to us. Let our lost loved ones see this is as a do-or-die, and not to be self-seeking, rejecting the truth and following evil to find trouble and distress.

And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. - John 3:19

Lead them by Your Spirit to Your Light, pushing the devil aside, we pray Father. Circumcise their heart by Your Spirit. Praise be to You, in Jesus name.

FATHER GOD
WE PRAY TO RECEIVE YOUR GRACE AND PEACE AND FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

We pray You open the way for someone to come to minister to our lost loved ones. For them and those that are also praying for them and us, may we be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. We are not ashamed of the gospel, because it is Your power that brings salvation to everyone who believes. LORD, help our loved ones unbelief.
You are plain to them, there is no excuse,by Your eternal power and divine nature that has been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. We pray they will glorify You as God and be thankful to You. You shine on the just and unjust; we pray you shine Your light in their hearts.

We declare Your Words of Life over them:

LET THERE BE LIGHT, AND THERE WAS LIGHT. AMEN

Deliver our loved ones from the sinful desires of their hearts. May they obtain and retain Your knowledge. Save them from a depraved mind, and from every kind of wickedness. Help them to
receive understanding. Stir Your gift of love in their heart by Your Spirit, and soften their heart that they also be merciful.

Save our loved ones from others that do wickedness, and don't let our loved ones listen to them that encourage them to continue living a depraved life apart from You.

You are forever praised, Creator God. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
