Intercessory Prayers For Sinners To Be Saved

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

1 Timothy 2:1-6

God loves all his children and wants them all to be saved. In the times of Moses, Christ had not come to die and save man yet so God judged man on his deeds and his ability to follow and obey his commandments. God’s punishment in those times was instant and just.

Today we live in different times. Christ’s sacrifice means that man is no longer judged in the former manner but rather on their ability to accept Christ and follow his path.

Imagine having two paths in front of you. One path looks big and comfortable and has everything your body requires to be happy. It allows you to be as wicked, mean, sinful, and happy as you want. The path has a lot of travelers who are happy to be doing the same things mentioned and have no intention of going back.

However the end of that path is certain eternal destruction in hell fire. The other path is narrow and doesn’t have many people on it. The people on it are more interested in living their lives in the spirit of Christ Jesus. They look forward to a crown of glory in the future.

They abstain from sin and do not indulge in things that will please their bodies at the expense of the spirit. They follow God’s commandments and treat their neighbors the way they themselves want to be treated. The end of this path is the certain glory of eternal life in paradise with God and Christ Jesus.

The people on these two paths do not have their mortal bodies forever though. At any time they can lose their lives and spend eternity where their paths were taking them. There is however a possibility for these people to turn around and head for the other path if they wish to do so.

Those on the wide way can turn around and look to get on the narrow path. Those on the narrow path may also turn around and look to get on the wide path. Whichever path they are on when they die regardless of whether they were good turning bad or bad turning good determines where they will spend their eternity.

This picture shows why it can never be too late to turn to the right path no matter how long you have been traveling on the wrong one. The moment you turn around, God knows that you are looking for him. Turning around is not easy especially if the crowd you have to go through is a massive one.

As Christians however we must pray for sinners to resist the crowd and look for the light. We must also ensure that those on the right path are prevented from turning back to the wrong one.

If you come into contact with a sinner, the Lord requires you to cause them to change direction for the better path. You are required to be a warning sign that prevents sinners from dying of their sins.

As a Christian, you must be a vigilante soldier for Christ in turning others away from sin. You are also supposed to intercede for those who struggle with their walk of life in Christ. There are some who may backslide as a result of poverty and other problems in life. As a Christian, you must do all you can to help people like this. This is what the Lord requires of you.

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

2 Peter 3:9
