So you'll have a little extra time hopefully to work on your assignments during class hours. So today we will study chapter 15, we skipped that chapter. So just go back to chapter 15, we'll do that and then jump to chapter 17, praying for believers and the local church. All right, so let's pray and let's get started.

Amen. Amen. Thank you Sister Lucy. Sorry if I just caught you a little off guard there. But thank you for leading us in prayer. So we are talking about praying for the family, praying for others and today we will see what the scriptures have to say about praying for believers and the local church. So some points that we can pray for other brothers and sisters who are in the Lord. If we go back to the concept of intercessory prayer, what does it mean intercessory prayer or intercession? Yeah. Praying for somebody else. Correct. Praying for somebody else. We go to God on behalf of another person. So that is what intercession is and that is why we can also pray for other believers. If you recall, we saw in Ephesians chapter 6 there was a passage which said that you can pray all kinds of prayers for all the saints. So that means we can pray for everybody different kinds of prayers. So today we want to understand what are the kind of prayers that we can pray for believers. Now why should we pray for believers? What are some reasons why one needs to uphold another believer in prayer? I mean they are also a believer, right? They can pray for themselves. So why should we or other believers pray for them? Is there any benefit, any use so that they can walk properly? Okay, so that they can walk properly. That is what we are praying for them. I am asking why? Sister, can I say something? Yes. Sister, can I say something? Yes. Sister, yes. Yes, because to protect them from backsliding. Okay. So we want to protect them from backsliding. Our prayers can protect them, is your point, right? Yes, I suppose that is what she means and Sanjay says edify, edify the body of Christ. So true that our prayers can strengthen people, strengthen them spiritually. Any other reasons? Why? My question is why do you want to pray for a believer? What we will see? There are many prayer points we can pray but why should we pray for the believers? Pastor Haven for their spiritual growth. For their spiritual growth. So that is what, no? What do we pray? Pray for their spiritual growth. Asafu, what did you say? Deliver from bondages. Yeah, okay. Deliver from bondages, that's true. Any other reason why? Okay, so that you can pray for others. Fine. So it is one of the roles that God has given us as believers to uphold or pray for other believers. Correct. That's true. Any other reason why? Why should we pray for other believers? Any reasons? Okay. So that they can stand in their faith as I think given Dikshash at the same point so that they can walk worthy of the Lord. So yes, there is a role that we have when we pray for others, others are strengthened. They are able to live their lives a stronger for God. Fine. These are some of the reasons we will go ahead and we will see. One of the main reasons is one is we have to agree with God's word. So God's word teaches us many things about how the life of a believer should be. So when we know God's word, we as believers, we should pray for the church for other believers that according to God's word, things will be established. So one is we are able to exercise our authority. You got it? So when we pray for other believers, we are able to exercise that authority in prayer and say that God let your word be fulfilled. That is one. Second is fighting the devil, okay, because we know that the devil tries to, if you want to use the word attack or oppose or stop every believer. So other believers have to pray for them. You got it? One is to agree with the word of God that whatever the word of God says those things should be fulfilled in the person's life and you know a believer has a role to do that. Second is to fight the devil. These are the two main reasons why we have to pray for other believers. Now we may think that okay, they are also believers and they can just live their life strongly for God. That's true to some extent, that's true. But you see there is a dynamics or there is a like the way the word, the way the body of Christ works, okay, we are supposed to uphold one another. So if you go to Ephesians 6, there is the armor, armor of God that protects us. Do you all know that? Armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness. So when we study about that, it is for individuals, it is for each person, right? So when we wear the armor of God, we are protected against the devil. You see, even when you look at the Roman army, when the soldiers used to put the armor, what they used to do is, there were certain formations. So they will stand in certain formations in such a way like they'll hold the shield and everyone's back, right, will be like you'll face the front line, all the soldiers standing together with the shield, okay? Now what happens when everyone stands together with the shield is that the enemy, no matter how they try to attack, it will not penetrate, isn't it? So there are many such formations. Sometimes they form something like a square with their backs inside and the front forward with the shield. Then again, same thing, from any side, if the enemy attacks, it will not penetrate. You got it? So in the scripture, there is something about individual spraying. So we can take care of ourselves in prayer, but we also need to pray for one another. It's part of how the body of Christ is, okay? So there is a place and a need for us to pray for each other and we must do it. We need to pray all kinds of prayers. Now what are the points which we should pray? One is what you said, they should walk with the Lord, they should walk worthy of the Lord, they should be strong in God, those are things we can pray. What else can we pray? Anything else we can pray for them? Some prayer points to pray for believers. What comes to your mind? Sorry? Victorious life, yeah, correct, victorious life, okay? Victorious life, overcome the devil, yes, we can pray for that. What else? When we see believers, what do we want? Like, okay, salvation, but once they are a believer, they already have salvation. So, yeah, to know God better in a stronger way, okay, fine? So once they have received salvation, to know what is that salvation all about, fine, that makes sense, yeah? Any other prayer you want to pray for the believers? Their needs, their needs, okay, their needs, yeah, maybe they have some needs we can pray for that, okay, good. So all your answers are correct. Now let us see from scriptures, what are some verses that will help us to pray for the believers? So it is there in our notes. First we won't read through all the scriptures, just the key point that is coming from the scripture I'll just tell you. First one is pray that the believer will not fall into evil and deception. So we must pray that believers, see we are walking strong with God, that's great, but we should not fall. For that we can pray for each other, Lord keep us strong, let not the devil deceive us, let not the devil deceive the believers, we can pray such prayers. It is there in the Bible. So pray that they will not be deceived, pray that they will not fall into any form of evil. We can also pray that they will become more like Jesus. Remember we said what is the goal of every believer's life to fulfill God's purpose to become more like Jesus in our character, in the walk of power. So we must become more like Jesus, same prayer we can pray for the believers, Lord we pray help them to become more like you. So maybe some specific area God shows to us, we can pray Lord in this area we pray that we will help them become more and more like Jesus, that's how Paul prayed. So in Galatians 419 it says that Paul prayed that Christ be formed in you. It's like you know when you look at the mirror, you see yourself, right? But the way Paul did the ministry is to see to it that the people become more like Jesus. So it's as if every believer if you look into the mirror, you should come to a place where the reflection is Christ, okay? So he did ministry with that intention and so we can also pray and say God let every believer be like Jesus Christ, got it? So that is a prayer which we can pray for them. We can also pray that God will give them revelation knowledge in Ephesians chapter 1. If you remember when we prayed for the family, you know husbands, wives, we read one whole passage. In that passage it says God give them the understanding, give them revelation about who you are. So to deeply understand who God is, we can pray that God you give them, you please help them to know you better. That is also a prayer which we can pray. We can pray that God will give them spiritual strength because it's not easy to live for God. It's not easy to finish the race. We usually say starting the race is very easy. Finishing is very difficult, very few actually do it. So we can pray that God you give every believer spiritual strength so that they can finish the race, they can finish the journey strong, okay? So I'm saying all this on the basis of some scriptures here just that I'm not reading it out. All there in your notes. So we can pray for spiritual strength. We can also pray that people will be fruitful, fruitful. What is fruitful? If a believer should be fruitful, what does it mean? Blessing like how? Lots of money. Then which, how do you see? Fruitful, let every believer be fruitful. What is the meaning of fruitful? Yeah, you can try. Some answers, okay. So to become strong in the gifts, the gifts that God has given us, the gifts of the spirit, okay? Maybe even ministry, let's say somebody is called to be a pastor, somebody is called to be a teacher, all right? So different ministries which we all have, these are all five-fold ministries but you have other ministries also, right? The grace that God gives us for leadership, for administration, for hospitality, there are many, many, many gifts that God gives us for ministry. So we can pray, God you help them to be fruitful in their ministry, you got it? So that is what? So we are seeing different believers, they're all serving the Lord. You pray God make them stronger, anoint them more, give them more grace, give them more wisdom, give them more opportunities, these are the kind of prayers which we are praying for them to be fruitful or in other words, effective, got it? So we can pray, make them fruitful, make me fruitful. So these are the kind of prayers that one can pray. We can also pray that the people or believers that they will be perfect and complete in the will of God. So that simply means, what is it that God wants? Let the believer live that life, okay? Let not the believer go do something else, take some other route, we don't want that. We want every believer to follow the call or the purpose of God for their lives. So pray that, like even for young children, that's what we pray, right? We say, Lord, from a young age, help them to understand what you want them to do, what is the purpose of their life. In the same way, we can pray even for adults and say, God help them, let them understand why you have called them, what is the purpose? Let them not keep going here and there, right? Let them choose, select whatever you want for them and let them do it. So these are the prayer points that we can pray for the believers. And we can also pray that, let's say in some areas, right? The faith is lacking in somebody's life, we are observing that, okay, faith is lacking in this area, faith is lacking in that area, we can pray, Lord, wherever their faith is lacking, you help them to be strengthened, okay, let them be upheld. So these are the sort of prayers which we can pray. Now we can also pray for specific individuals. You know, sometimes what God does is, He will put some people in our heart. We would keep remembering them. Why? Because God wants us to pray for them in that season. So maybe in a season, we are remembering again and again, right? Like for example, we are teaching here in the class, but maybe God is reminding us of one or two people, okay, pray for them so that they can become stronger. So we pray specially for those students that, okay, God help them or in any other context, like in the case of Paul, there were a few people like Timothy, Titus, whom Paul was mentoring. So even when he writes, or Philemon, he writes and he says, look, I am praying for you, I am praying for Timothy, that God will strengthen him. So sometimes God may put some people in our hearts so that we can pray for them. See it happens in the mentoring relationship where there is a leader and they are raising up other leaders and what God does is, it's like a special connection that God makes where we are constantly thinking about them and we are thinking, okay, we need to pray for this person, may God help this person, right? So for Paul, it was people like Timothy, Philemon, he was praying for all these leaders whom he was raising up. So but generally, you know, it would be like, I mean, usually like in mentoring and leadership, we talk about it, men will mentor men mostly, right? And then women, it's safer that they mentor women. So that way, we are also sort of creating a safe environment where we can build people up. So generally, you know, maybe for some of the men leaders, God puts some other men in their hearts and they are able to pray for them regularly. Similarly, women praying for other women, raising them up in the Lord, okay? So praying for people whom God puts in our hearts is also very important. Now moving on, somebody said people can have needs, right? So time to time, we can understand that somebody is not well or someone is having a particular problem, maybe some financial difficulty, then you pray for that need of that person. So that is also something that we can pray for. So what is the main thing, spiritual growth? Main thing that we praise, spiritual growth, okay? Along with that, you can pray for the needs, you can pray for other things. So we can pray for their needs, we can pray for people, maybe if they are caught in some sin, right? That is also something we can pray for. We say God set them free from that sin, okay? Or bad habit or addiction, something that we observe. But we can ask God for deliverance in that person's life. Now in the Bible, we also see that when people bless us, okay? For example, for Paul, there was some money that came from Philippi. People sent him money. But when he received money from people, he prayed for the people who helped him. So that also we can do. When people are there who are helping us, we can speak blessings upon their lives. So these are all the prayer points. Now let's move on. Yeah, talking about Apostle Paul. So Apostle Paul, he roughly planted some 20 churches in his journeys and the way he writes about these churches is very, very interesting. So he always writes, I am praying for you, for different churches. He says we are praying for you, that God would give you wisdom, that God would give you knowledge, that God would do this, God would do that. So he was always praying for all the believers, okay? But sometimes we notice that his prayer, it's very passionate. It's not simply that prayer points are there, let's pray and finish the prayer. It's not like that. Paul is very passionate, even as an individual, he was very, very passionate. So in 2 Corinthians 11, verses 28 and 29, see how he writes, I'll read it for us. He says, besides the other things that what comes upon me daily, my deep concern for all the churches, who is weak and I'm not weak, who is made to stumble and I do not burn with indignation. So he's saying every day he's thinking about the churches, he's thinking about the believers and he says deep concern, meaning he is very, see once you plant a church, you will understand from the early church that they never used to just leave and go, yes they will go away from that place, but they'll keep in touch, they'll see how the church is doing, they'll appoint leaders for the church, so they were always taking care of every church, right? They'll see the needs of the church, that's how the early leaders were, all the churches they used to take care, even when they go far away. So what is Paul saying? He's actually far away, but he's saying, I have deep concern for all the churches, I'm worried, I'm thinking about all of you, okay? I am, what can I say, you know I'm praying for all of you, so he's expressing his deep concern and he's saying that the way he prayed is, if somebody is weak, he's feeling the weakness, so can you understand what his relationship is with the churches? He's saying, is anyone weak and I don't feel weak? So it's affecting him in a sort of a spiritual way when he sees a need or when he sees a problem in a church and he also says, who stumbles and I'm not in indignation, meaning he's getting angry when things are not going right in the church, okay? So that's amazing how passionate Paul is about the different churches. So he's praying with passion and he's saying, Lord, if there is a weakness, let it be corrected. If something is wrong, Paul is so angry, he's praying with that anger and he's saying, I don't like it, it has to change, God, you do something, right? He'll write the letter and say, don't do this, be like this, be like that. So that is the way they did ministry, not just instruction, but even in prayer he's saying, I have deep concern for the churches, if you are weak, I'm feeling weak. If something is going wrong, I'm feeling angry. So with that passion as a leader, he's taking care of the churches. So this is the way, you know, the early church, they prayed for one another. It was more than just a normal activity, right? It was passionate when they prayed for one another. So Paul felt whatever was going on in the other churches. So this is how we would pray for believers. Any other points that you want to share or any other thoughts? I'm just looking at the chat here. So I suppose these are all the answers that people have given earlier when I was asking the questions. Okay, so some points that we can pray for believers. Lucy says more, measures of spiritual growth, then Sanjay says prayer is powerful. It opens doors for ministry, ministry of angels. And Akhil says family, life and well-being. Parimita says filled with the spirit or the gifts of the spirit. Sure, so these are some points that we can pray for. Now the next question that I want to ask is, what are the prayer requests which we can make for ministers or leaders? What are some things we can pray for them? For believers, we saw so many points are there we can pray. What about, let's say pastors, ministers, leaders, what prayer points we can pray for them? Should we pray for them or no? No need to pray. Leaders should pray for all the believers but believers no need to pray for the leaders so that for their ministry, okay? Good, so that they can do good ministry, correct? Anything else we want to pray for them? Good knowledge, okay? Good health, okay? What else you want to pray for your pastors and your leaders? Okay, wisdom, overcome in spiritual warfare, fine. We pray for our pastors or not? Maybe, okay, yeah, we should pray for our pastors, we should pray for our leaders. So, when we pray for them, we can pray almost the similar kind of prayers which we said earlier. We said, right, that grow in the knowledge of the Lord, revelation, spiritual strength, fruitfulness, pray all these prayers for them, Lord, let every need be met for the pastors and leaders, good health, good strength. Then additionally, we find that when Paul, he writes to the believers, he makes some request. What requests? It's again there, scriptures are there in our notes, you can go back and read. His request is, pray for boldness, you got it? Pray for boldness when we go and proclaim the gospel. So we can pray for boldness, we can pray for open doors, open doors means opportunities. God give more opportunity for ministry so that we can touch the nations. So pray for more open doors, we can pray for, yeah, so I think mainly what he is asking is, he's saying more boldness for the ministers of God, right? So in this way we can actually pray for the pastors, pray for the leaders. So yeah, any particular thoughts regarding praying for the believers or praying for the pastors, persecution, yeah, right, okay, sure, so we can pray. So what can you pray? If they are in persecution, what can you pray for them? Yes, we can pray for protection, we can pray for their, yeah, their family, their children, okay? So true, we can pray for protection. Let's say if they are, it happens, right? Even these days we hear, they're put in the jail and all. Then we can pray, actually Paul when he writes, he says, like if somebody's in the prison, then you pray for them, pray for their deliverance, so we can pray for them to be released, got it? We can also pray for boldness because the persecution should not stop us from preaching the gospel, but at the same time we can pray for wisdom because in the given environment of persecution, there may be a right way of doing ministry and there might be a wrong way of doing ministry, right, so we have to be very careful how we are doing the ministry so that we don't get into trouble, you know, for lack of wisdom. So these are all the prayers which we can pray, got it, yeah. So any other thoughts regarding these things or even persecution you want to ask? Okay, nothing particular I suppose? First I can do something. Sorry sister, can you please come again? Can I say something? Yeah, sure. Yeah, we can pray for them for the financial help that they need for the ministry. Right, right, so we can pray for the finances that they need, okay? So you see one thing is of course prayer, but I just want to add a thought here. So wherever we can do something we should do that, otherwise, you know, we pray for the people, that's good, right, but sometimes there is something we can do along with the prayer, so always think, I will pray, but is there anything I can do? If there is something we can do, if it is in your power to do something, then we can do it. For example, you know, you said, right, some pastor, if they are persecuted, they are put in the jail, so I think it happened like during COVID, when we were working on one project, COVID relief project, so we were calling lot of pastors across the country, so there was one family, in that family when we made the phone call, the pastor was not there, only their children were there, so then we were asking them like what is happening, what is going on, and like the children were, you know, they were crying, you know, because their dad was in the jail, and they were not able to bring them out, and they were saying, you know, we are trying, they put some application, something, you know, working with the lawyers and to bring the person out, something like a village church, so, but thank God in that COVID relief project, there was one category, education support, so that was the best we could do, so we just tried, like we found out what is the cost for the studies of the children, because father is not there, right, till they bring him out of the prison, somebody has to support the family, so then by God's grace, that category was there, so we could work that out, and then in some way we could help the children to continue their studies, so when we see people in need, especially pastors in need, it's good to pray, okay, but if we can do something, I think we should do it fast, don't wait so long to address the issue, got it, fine, okay, so that's about praying for others, that's about praying for pastors, so we can move on to the next topic, we skipped chapter 16 also, we'll go to 16, this is about praying for people who are lost, so who is lost, what is the meaning of that word lost, people who are lost, spiritually lost, what do we mean in the Bible when we say people are spiritually lost, what is that, okay, okay, yeah, completely far from God, so usually when we use the term lost, it means unbelievers, meaning they have not received salvation, okay, and obviously if they are unbelievers, they are far from God, you know, they are not receiving from the blessings of the cross and all of those things, so when we say interceding for the lost, it means interceding for the unbeliever, so how to pray for the unbeliever, that is the question now, so here from the Bible, there are some passages, I'm sure you all already know how to pray, but let us see what the scriptures have to say, so the first way or the point that we have to look into is that when there are unbelievers, usually Satan works to keep them in a place of, like without the understanding about God, so Satan works very hard so that people will not come to know about Jesus, that's his job, okay, that we have to understand, firstly we have to understand that why are people lost, there is one main reason and that is Satan, Satan does not want people to come to know about Jesus, so what are some of his activities, what he will do is, the first thing is he will play in the mind, in the area of the mind, so in the mind what he will do is, the Bible says he keeps them blinded, spiritually blind, that means, see they can see, normally they can, physically they can see, but spiritual eyes are blind, now imagine we go to an unbeliever and we talk to them, you know what, Jesus died for our sins, if you confess your sin, if you repent, Jesus will forgive you, they may ask, what sin, I didn't do any sin, what are you talking about, I never sinned, right, so they speak like that, but you're trying to make them understand, no you are not understanding, see even if there is one mistake, it is the sin, Jesus has died for our sins, they say no, I don't have any sin, please don't tell me all this, right, why what is happening, their spiritual eyes are blind, you're speaking the truth to them, but they can't understand, spiritually they, they are not able to receive what you are saying, because Satan is doing something, what is he doing, he's hiding the truth from them, even though you're speaking it in front of them, they cannot recognize it, that is known as spiritual blindness, so people are spiritually blind, because the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4 verses 3 and 4 that Satan blinds the people, you got it, he keeps them in a place of spiritual blindness, so then what do we do, right, we need to do something to overcome the blindness that Satan puts on people, so there are other passages of the Bible where we see that, you know, the Gospel is the light, the Gospel is the light that comes to shine on the lives of the people, so we want people to see the light, if they are blind they won't be able to see it, so you notice we talk about so much of evangelism, we say okay go tell everybody about Jesus, spread the Gospel, but let's realize that this is a spiritual battle, because whenever we go to share the Gospel, Satan won't keep quiet, yes or no, he won't, his job is keep the people blind, so he will work harder to stop them from knowing the truth, so when we pray for the lost or when we pray for unbelievers, usually we talk about something known as spiritual warfare, literally we have to fight the devil, right, we have to have a war with the devil to bring people out of the darkness, okay, so that is what is special, you see when we pray, let's say I have a need and my need is a job, I'll just ask Heavenly Father, I need a job, you know bless me, make a way for me, I receive it, that's not warfare, because I'm talking to whom, I'm talking to God, but when we come to warfare, it's like we are fighting with the devil, you got it, so these prayers are not just asking and receiving from God, there is another person who's engaged here, that is the devil, so we also have to like rebuke the devil, bind the devil, lot of things are there, how we will pray, so before we go for evangelism, we can spend time in prayer and we can say like Lord, open the spiritual eyes of the people, we bind the deceptions that the devil is putting on their minds, let them be able to see the truth of your gospel, so in this way, we are taking charge of you know like or rather overcoming the devil and then we go do our evangelism, it will be very very effective, so remember that Satan deceives, he blinds people, so we have to fight him in order to pray for the lost, now the other thing, Satan also likes to keep people in bondage, by that what we mean is, he likes to keep people in slavery, so we might notice that either in terms of habits, people are already stuck, they may be in some sort of a sinful habit, so when we are telling them about Jesus, we are telling them okay, don't sin, come out of it, follow Jesus, they want to do it but they are so stuck and they say no I can't you know, I'm already in this, I don't know how to come out of this addiction, how to come out of this habit, so Satan likes to do that also, one is, he keeps them blind, second is, he keeps them a slave, so when he keeps them like that, it's difficult for them to come out, but we need to understand that, that people may need deliverance, they need bondages to be broken, so sometimes when we pray for people, you know, we have to take authority and we have to uproot the strongholds, we have to break the bondages, you understand, we have to set them free, the chains to come out, cast out the demons, so many things are there to do for the people, so we can minister like that, when we minister like that, they will experience freedom and from there, you know, it might be easier for them to actually accept Christ, so you see, one is blindness of the devil, second, bondage of the devil, we'll have to fight all these things to set people free, third one is, he will hinder the proclamation of the Gospel, so if we are going to proclaim the Gospel, he'll want to do something to make it difficult for us to preach the Gospel, okay. Now how should we respond to Satan's opposition, Satan will oppose proclamation of the Gospel, how do we deal with it, how would you deal with it, we oppose every time we preach the Gospel, what do you think? Sister, we can stand as prayer warriors with wearing the armad of God and we can pray in the strength of Jesus. Correct, so we go with we go with a lot of prayer, right, sister Gertrude, that's what you're saying? Yes, sister. Okay, fine, so we can do that. Now one point which I want to share with all of us is, you know, many times what people say is, oh when I do ministry, the devil attacks me, okay, and especially when they are going to start doing some ministry, they are very scared, they say, oh if I do ministry, I don't know what will happen, what the devil will do to me, what the devil will do to my family, because Satan opposes any work of the ministry, but no, I just want to remind all of us, whether we do ministry or we don't do ministry, Satan will attack because that's his job, so don't put the focus on the attack of the devil, do you understand? Because it's anyway gonna happen, we just have to learn how to fight the devil and keep moving forward. Don't make it a big story that, oh devil is attacking me because I'm serving the Lord, the devil is attacking me, even if we are not serving the Lord, he will attack, that is his work, but of course, he will do more when we are serving God because he wants to stop us, okay, so let him do whatever he's doing, we have to do what we have to do, so that boldness, that courage is very important, don't make a big story of the devil is attacking me, all right, okay, so let's stop right here, 10 minutes break, we'll come back and continue, sure, thank you.
