This has been a very exciting month! Thank you for joining me in praying for the people around the world that have not had the opportunity to hear about the gospel and what an incredible God there is who desires to give them life and forgiveness and grace. I cannot believe we are on the last week, but here it goes!
Week 4 of the Unreached People Group Prayer
(Fill in the blanks with the name of a specific unreached people group)
Day 1
Luke 7:41-48
""A creditor had two debtors. One owed 500 denarii, and the other 50. Since they could not pay it back, he graciously forgave them both. So, which of them will love him more?" Simon answered, "I suppose the one he forgave more." "You have judged correctly," He told him. Turning to the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for My feet, but she with her tears, has washed My feet and wiped them with her hair. You gave Me no kiss, but she hasn't stopped kissing My feet since I came in. You didn't anoint My head with oil, but she has anointed My feet with fragrant oil. Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that's why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little." Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
Pray that the ______________________ will have a right heart before Jesus and "love much." All the knowledge we can teach them about Jesus is worthless if it does not produce a right heart.
Day 2
Luke 8:15
"But the seed in the good ground -- these are the ones who, having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by enduring, bear fruit."
Pray that both we and the ______________________ would with good hearts hear, retain, persevere, and produce a crop.
Day 3
Luke 9:24
"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it."
Pray both we and the ______________________ will learn to give up our lives for Jesus so that we can find true life.
Day 4
Luke 9:62
"But Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.""
Pray new Christians among the ______________________ will not turn back.
Day 5
Luke 10:2
"He told them: "The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."
Pray that God will send workers from the ______________________ back into the harvest field.
Day 6
Luke 10:13
"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!"
Pray that the ______________________ will respond to the Lord's miracles in true repentance.
Day 7
Luke 10:27
"He answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
Pray that the ______________________ will love the Lord with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind.
Day 8
Luke 10:30-37
"Jesus took up (the question) and said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up, and fled, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down that road. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way, a Levite when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan on his journey came up to him, and when he saw (the man), he had compassion. He went over to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, "Take care of him. When I come back I'll reimburse you for what extra you spend." Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?" "The one who showed mercy to him," he said. Then Jesus told him, "Go and do the same."
Pray that we will go out of our way to show mercy to the ______________________.
Day 9
Luke 10:39
"She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet and was listening to what He said."
Pray that we would turn from our busy-ness and sit at the feet of Jesus.
Jesus came into the world 2,000 years ago to reveal God's plan to bring all people into a right relationship with Himself. But the task is not complete until every nation and every people of every language have heard. Ask Jesus what part He desires you to play in completing the unfinished task of loving the lost.
