Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would learn to preach the gospel as the apostle Paul did, turning people from darkness to light and from the authority of Satan to God that they might be transferred into the kingdom of God (Acts 26:18; Col. 1:12-13). Since warfare exists between the kingdoms of God […]
Let us pray for the saints to learn to exercise the Lord’s authority to bind the strong man, Satan
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would learn to exercise the authority of the headship and lordship of Christ, the Head, in praying to bind the strong man and in preaching the gospel to plunder sinners out of the kingdom of Satan into the kingdom of God (Luke 4:36; 9:1-2; Matt. 28:18-19). Christ […]
Let us pray for the saints to realize that the preaching of the gospel is a warfare
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that the preaching of the gospel, which delivers men out of the power and kingdom of Satan, is a spiritual warfare (Josh. 6:1-5; Acts 26:18; 2 Tim. 2:3). First, we need to see that toward Satan the preaching of the gospel is a spiritual battle…If […]
Let us pray for peoples’ hearts to be the good earth for the seed of Christ
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that the seed of Christ is sown through the gospel into human hearts and would pray for people’s hearts to become the good earth to receive the gospel seed (Matt. 13:18-23; 5:3, 8; John 4:36-37). [Matthew 13:8] says, “And others fell on the good earth […]
Let us pray for the saints to see that proclaiming the gospel is a sowing of the seed of Christ to bring in the kingdom of God
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see that their proclaiming of the gospel of God is their sowing of the seed of Christ into people to bring in the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15; 4:3 and notes 3-1, 3-2; 4:26 and note 26-3). The seed of the divine life (1 John 3:9; […]
Let us pray for the saints to eagerly learn the principles needed to bring people to the Lord
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would eagerly learn the principles needed to bring people to the Lord and would practice these principles in order to learn the proper time and the proper way to reach people—to “catch the fish” (Acts 2:41; 4:4). The most important thing for a salesman is to create […]
Let us pray for the saints to be vitalized personally and with companions so that they might “go fishing”
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would get vitalized personally and with a few co-laboring companions to the extent that they would “go fishing” to get some “new fish” (Dan. 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:22). The elders should not try to form the groups in an organizational way. That does not work. They must […]
