Prevailing Prayers For Missions & Missionaries

The Mind of Christ is the mind of God. The Mind of God is the mind of Missions. The Mind of Missions is the mind of seeking the Lost. This is the mind we are to have as Jesus' followers.

Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. Psalms 2:8 NKJV

Roughly two-thirds of the world population lived in the 10/40 Window, and it is predominantly Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, animist, Jewish, or atheist. They are poignant examples of the truth expressed in 2 Corinthians 4:4, which states that "the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."

Prayer works! Prayer is work! Prayer leads to work! Prayer is the work! Through prayer, we can cultivate the rocky soil of hearts resistant to the Gospel and prepare entire people groups to receive the good news of Jesus Christ. With the knowledge of God's desire for all peoples to know Him (1 Timothy 2:4, Rev. 7:9), pray in faith, claiming Unreached peoples for the Kingdom of God.

“In no other way can the believer become as fully involved with God’s work, especially the work of world evangelism, as in intercessory prayer.” Dick Eastman

Our prayers can go where we can't... there are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray...

For these [traveling missionaries] went out for the sake of the Name [of Christ], accepting nothing [in the way of assistance] from the Gentiles. So we ought to support such people [welcoming them as guests and providing for them], so that we may be fellow workers for the truth [that is, for the gospel message of salvation]. 3 John 1:7‭-‬8 AMP

The life of a full-time missionary is not for the faint of heart. They leave their homes, families, and everything they know for one purpose: to share God’s message of hope and love with the world. Missionaries need committed supporters back home. They need monthly financial support, ministry resources, and medical and tech equipment. They long for our words of encouragement. Sometimes they even ask for our physical presence to help with large projects and outreaches. But if you ask any missionary what they need the most, you will get one consistent, resounding request: “Please pray for us!”

It is very pertinent we know and have the understanding of the time we are in so that we can know what we are required to be doing as an individual, church and nation.
