Prayer In Our Evangelism

Prayer is vitally tied to every aspect of evangelism.

What should we pray for in evangelism?

Principles Prayer in evangelism involves many different areas of that great work – prayers about churches, workers, Satan, opposition, opportunities, uncertainty, skills, methods, wisdom, etc.

Principles God wants us to share in His work!

Principles If a Christian does not pray about evangelism, what does that say about them?

People may not pray about Evangelism because of their… Unbelief Unconcern For Lost Too Busy

Principles 1 Sam 12:23 “Not Praying Can Be A Grave Sin” Consider Samuel 23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way. NKJV

Principles Prayer involves some energy and is important enough to involve “fervent labor” and effort! Col 4:12

Col 4: Epaphras, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, greets you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. NKJV

Principles There should be an understanding of our role

We are God’s minor partner!

God’s Part Man’s Part

O

LoveGod’s Part Mercy Jesus Death Word Church Help Man’s Part Wisdom, Seek, Love, Tell, Live Right

Principles We should approach God in great need and humility being poor (beggaring) in spirit!

What should I be praying for now?

We should pray for the salvation of souls eternally. Romans 10:1

Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. NKJV

Since all Israel was not saved, did God hear Paul’s prayer?

Is the important issue here, the hours spent in prayer or the intensity of desire that is expressed in prayer?

We should pray with great thankfulness and continual giving of thanks.

Col 4:2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; 3 meanwhile praying also for us, NKJV

How many things should you be thankful for? List the letters of the alphabet on a sheet of paper and think of something that you are thankful for, for each letter of the alphabet.

We should acknowledge God’s power and greatness and give him our praise.

Rom 15:11 "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!" NKJV

We are the ones who are helped to realize our true place when we acknowledge His greatness.

We are the ones who are helped to realize our true place when we acknowledge His greatness. Our just praise raises our confidence and assurance of receiving His answer.

We should pray for help in using our talents and increasing them! Matt. 25:14-30

Matt 25: And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

Matt 25: 'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

There are many different “skill” levels.

There are many different “skill” levels. All require God’s help!

There are many different “skill” levels. All require God’s help! So your level can be successful if you will be God’s minor partner and call on Him in prayer!

We should pray for a door of opportunity! Col. 4:2-3

Col. 4:2-3 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word,

What opportunities might we pray for?

What is the problem of praying for a real prospect that is converted with every person we invite?

We should pray for wisdom! Col. 4:5; James 1:5

Col. 4:5 5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.

Eph 5:15-18 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. NKJV

Dan 12:3 3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. NKJV

James 1:5-6 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, NKJV

We should pray for help in our “gentle touches” that we may do them well and say the best things! Col. 4:4, 6

Col.4:4, 6 …to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak…. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

We should pray for God’s help to find every teachable seeker!

We should pray regularly that we can develop an “evangelistic culture”!

We should pray for laborers to be provided!

John 4: st See The Souls 35 Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest !

Matt 9:36-38 Pray for Workers 37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

We should pray for the removal of blocking obstacles. II Thess. 3:1

2 Thess 3:1 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: KJV

Pray to remove the barriers 2 Thess 3:1-3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, NKJV

Pray to remove the people barriers 2 Thess 3:1-3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith. NKJV

Pray to remove the spiritual attack 2 Thess 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. NKJV

2 Thess 3:1 Pray for Success …pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; NASU

We should pray for the word to be glorified and the Lord praised. II Thess. 3:1-3

2 Thess 3:1 …pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you; NASU

If a Christian does not pray about evangelism, what does that say about them?

If you are apart from God, one of the greatest blessings that He has available to you if you join Him is His promise to answer your prayers!

We should pray
