Pray For The Lost - That God Gives Them Spiritual Understanding

Scripture

Luke 24

45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46 And he said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. 47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 48 You are witnesses of all these things.

Observation

“There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.” This is the message that we are to take to all the nations. Did you notice what the scriptures said in verse 45, “then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures”? Spiritual understanding is something that God has to provide each person. Our job is to share the Gospel of forgiveness to everyone and it is God’s job to open up their minds so that they can understand. We don’t know whom God is going to choose, our task is to share with everyone.

Application

I will ask God to open up the minds of those that I share the Gospel with.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I know that you can open up the minds of people so that they can understand spiritual truths and so that they can understand the Gospel. I also know that You can harden hearts like You did with Pharaoh. I pray that You open the hearts of those that will be at Mission Tampa this morning so that some of them can experience Your forgiveness.
