40 Days of Prayer-Day 23

There are many among our family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances that we know are outside of Christ and living under Satan’s power. But they are powerless to change. They are blinded by Satan. “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them”. 2 Cor 4:3-4 The key to their salvation is to remove the veil that blinds them. They need an unveiling or revelation of God’s truth. God has given the believer authority to pull down Satan’s strongholds and to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Cor. 10:4-5. Intercessory prayer for the lost will pull down Satan’s strongholds and will remove the veil from the mind of the unbeliever. God’s will is that we pray for those who are under the power of Satan as follows: (1) That God will draw them to himself. John 6:44; (2) That they seek to know God. Acts 17:27; (3) That they believe the Word of God. 1 Thess 2:13; (4) That Satan is bound from blinding them to the truth and his influences in their life be cast down. 2 Cor. 4:4, 10:4-5; (5) That the Holy Spirit works in them. John 16:8-13; (6) That they turn from sin. Acts 3:19; (6) That they believe in Christ as their Savior. John 1:12; (7) That they obey Christ as Lord. Matt. 7:21; (8) That they take root and grow in Christ. Col 2:6-7. PRAYER: Father baptize us with your Holy Spirit and bring revival into our lives and churches, and lead us to become true prayer warriors for the unsaved. May your character be reflected in our lives and help us to advance your kingdom.
