How to Pray for Someone Who Is Lost

From YouTube

Description

Someone you love wants nothing to do with God, you have run out of hints and invitations, and now you want to know how to pray for someone who is lost. Pastor Kaloma Smith says to keep your arms open and pray for them the way you would talk to a close friend about someone you love. Pray from love, ask God to make you sensitive to their needs, keep at it, and let go of your own script for their life. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Acts 17:26-28, where Paul tells the people of Athens that God is near every one of us, and he shows what it looks like to pray in faith instead of handing God a wish list. Questions this sermon answers How do you pray for someone who is lost? Start by telling God who this person is to you and that you want them to know him, rather than asking God to override their free will. What is intercessory prayer? It is praying on behalf of someone else, and here it means waiting on a person far from God in prayer while trusting God to do the work.
