In Part 1, we discussed praying in order to bind the devil from your unsaved loved one. So what comes next in praying for their salvation?
You'll find your next prayer step in Matthew 9:37-38. There, Jesus was looking out at the multitudes who needed ministry and He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."

It's the Word of God that brings faith for salvation: "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Rom. 10:17). So you need to see to it that the Word gets into your loved one's heart.

"How?" you say. "My loved one won't listen to me!"

Probably not, but God knows who your loved one will listen to, and He'll send that person halfway around the world to talk to your loved one if necessary.

So pray to the Lord of the harvest: "Father, I'm asking You to send laborers across ________'s path—laborers who are equipped with the Word of God about salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, healing and deliverance. Send laborers who can communicate effectively with _________ so Your Word can reach his (or her) heart."

Treat Them Like They're Already Saved
Once you've prayed for your loved one like that, from then on, put your faith in action by treating your loved one like he's (or she's) saved. Don't treat them like they're no good. On the contrary, every time you see your loved one, say, "Praise God! Isn't it good to know Jesus?" Then just stand back and watch how things change. You'll be amazed.

It's happened many times. And it can happen that way for you and your loved one. So don't give up. Get smart! Start praying according to the Word and praying by faith…and you will see the salvation of the Lord!

Here is another simple prayer for your unsaved loved one that ties it all together. As you speak God's Word, remember that it will not return to Him void. It will prosper in the thing whereto it is sent (Isa. 55:11):

"Father, I come before You in prayer and in faith, believing. Your Word says that You desire all men to be saved and come into the knowledge of the truth, so I bring _________ before you this day.

"I break the power of Satan from his assignments and activities in _________'s life in the Name of Jesus. Now, while Satan is bound, I ask that You send forth the perfect laborers to share the good news of the gospel in such a way that ______ will listen and understand it. As the truth is ministered, I believe ________ will open his (or her) eyes to the gospel, come out of the snare of the devil and make Jesus Lord.

"Father, I ask that you fill _______ with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. As I intercede on his (or her) behalf, I believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is activated, and from this moment on, I shall praise and thank You for ________'s salvation.

"I am confident that You are alert and active, watching over Your Word to perform it. It will not return to You void. It will accomplish that which You please and prosper in the thing whereto it was sent.

"Therefore, my confession of faith is, 'God has begun a good work in ________'s life and He will perform it and bring it to full completion until the day of Jesus Christ in Jesus' Name.'

"Amen!"
