Luke
15:11-32
What
Is A Prodigal?
A prodigal is someone who has been filled with the Holy Ghost, and
for whatever reason, walked away.
Strategies
for Prayer
Approach
the Father in that positional place of covenant that the prodigal
has with Him.
Remind
the Lord that the prodigal is one of his children, and that He is
the Father of the lost. Ask the Lord to rescue him.
Pray
for supernatural love.
Pray for a love that would be open and warm to the prodigal even
when they are still in sin. However, love does not mean condoning
their actions.
Pray
for the grace to let go of the prodigal.
The prodigal's father let the son go. He didn't lay a religious
guilt trip or bash with the Bible. Pray for people not to lay judgment
on the prodigal.
Pray
for grace and endurance to pray for the prodigals.
It can take years to see the fruit of intercession.
Pray
for famine.
Pray that whatever or whoever the prodigal is placing their trust
in; outside of Jesus would dry up.
Pray
for holy hunger or holy homesickness.
Pray that they would long for the cleansing relationship they once
had with the Father.
Pray
he would come to himself.
Pray he would realize something is wrong. Pray against the delusion
the enemy would try to bring.
Pray
for gifts of repentance.
Repentance is a gift that brings life and freedom.
Pray
that the prodigal will have the ability to receive the grace of
God.
Pray that the prodigal would be able to receive the Father's love
and forgiveness.
Pray
that the Lord will pour out his riches when the prodigal returns.
Ask the Lord to dump on him blessings of every kind. Pray that when
he returns he will receive blessing upon blessing...spiritually,
emotionally, physically, and financially.
Pray
for the elder son.
The church (the elder brother) will need the Lord to prepare their
hearts to receive the prodigal back. Pray that when the prodigals
come home judgmental attitudes toward them would be gone. Pray against
jealousy and envy as God's blessing pours on the prodigal.
Pray
for those raised in church.
Pray that they will have the grace to accept those who are not quite
so polished.
