Praying For The Lost

Matt 9:37-10:1

37 Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.
10:1 AND JESUS summoned to Him His Twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infirmity.

Mark 16:17-18

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they [the sick] will recover."
NKJV

2 Cor 4:4

4 For the god of this world [satan & co] has blinded the unbelievers' minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.

My Comments:

As much as Paul wrote that Jesus stripped satan and his like of all their power over the Christian, we must also consider the fact that the enemy still has a hold over the lost; preventing them from coming to the truth of their redemption in Christ.

We have authority that we can exercise however to remove this spiritual blindness over their lives! We can drive out the enemy that has a foothold in the lives of the lost; and at the same time pray to the Father to send people across their paths who can bring them out of the darkness that they're in, and into the glorious light of the Gospel!
