Prayer Focus: Prayer for Others (intercessors)
Faith For World Evangelism
Taking what God has done in and for us, praying that for others.
1. God desires everyone to be saved.
John 3:16 (NIV) 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God loves you. God loves us (the church) and God loves them (those who are yet to come)
2. God has a plan to reach the world.
Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV) 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
God’s plan is you, me … it’s us!
The Great Commission.. It’s a CO-MISSION.. We are on mission with God.
What’s happening in us needs to go out now through us. We are all “street evangelists.”
When we do this, Jesus has promised that “He will be with us.”
3. God’s plan is in our hands.
Matthew 24:14 (NIV) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
2 Peter 3:8-13 (NIV)
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
How we live our lives is the speed of how God will reach others.
We are on mission with and for God!
