Spiritual Warfare Prayers for Lost Souls

A lost soul is one that has not received the salvation God offers them through Jesus Christ. The individual in question may still be living in sin and ignorant of the gravity of their indecision. Once you understand who the lost souls are, you’ll see the importance of spiritual warfare prayers for them.

Prayer is a powerful weapon you can use to pray for their salvation. In this blog post, we’ll explore prayers you can pray for lost and unsaved souls; let’s begin.

Here’s a short story about an experience I had a couple of years ago. Because of a change in environment, I became friends with someone who hadn’t attended church for a long time. He’d turn it down whenever I invited him to a church service.

He was a great, friendly, humble, built physically, and easy-going guy. Instead of nagging him incessantly, I began to pray for God to arrest his attention at least and cause him to go to church.

Well, guess what?

Yes, he did attend church eventually, but that was a couple of months after I left that location back to my base. And God used a girl he was intensely interested in to take him to church. And he didn’t just go once; he went to church several times before leaving that environment.

Cool? Let’s find out how to pray for unsaved souls.

How Do You Pray for Unsaved Souls?

To pray for lost souls, you must first understand that the minds of men are blinded, and they cannot. This is established clearly in 2 Cor. 4:4. So, one of the first prayer points you should pray is to ask God to remove the veil that covers the people’s minds.

When this veil is removed, the light of God can shine upon them.

Accepting Christ into your heart and accepting His gift of salvation is the best decision anyone can make. Therefore, it can be heartbreaking when your loved one is unsaved. When you can’t find the words to say, below is how to pray for unsaved souls.

1. Ask God to Use You as a Vessel: Since you’re saved and know the joy that comes with being saved and living in Christ, ask God to use you as a vessel to bring unsaved souls to Him. As a vessel of God, when you preach the gospel, the unsaved souls can turn to God and become a part of God’s big family.
2.  Ask God to Heal Their Hurt: Today, most people turn against the gospel because they’re hurting on the inside. Some people rebel against God because they believe He is behind their pain. Therefore, you should pray that God heals their hearts so they can find their way back home.
3.  Ask God to Soften Their Hearts: Sometimes, when you preach the gospel, your unsaved loved ones do not hear you because their heart is hardened. When they are caught up in the world of the sun, it can be challenging to understand the price Christ has paid for them on the cross. Therefore, pray that God softens their heart so they can accept the gift of His forgiveness and seek His kingdom.
4.  Pray for God’s Grace in Their Lives: When you pray for unsaved souls, ask for God’s grace in their life. Most times, they’re tied up in the devil’s bondage and, therefore, cannot experience the life-changing intimacy that comes with being in Christ. With God’s grace, they can overcome their desire for worldly pleasure and see how good God is.
5.  Pray the Repentance Prayer with Them: One of the ways you can pray for an unsaved soul is to pray with them. Pray the repentance prayer with them, asking God to open their hearts. Help them surrender their lives to God through prayer and be assured that God has forgiven them their sins.
