This is a great set Rose!

Thanks, onfire247. I would appreciate it so much if you will pray for the salvation of all my family members specially my 94 year old mother. I'm the only Christian in my family. We have a big altar of graven images at home. It was my mom who brought idols into our house more than 50 years ago. TIA.

I will be happy to pray for your family!

This is how I normally pray for people to receive salvation. Maybe it will be of use to you as well:

Father, I thank you that your name is above every name, and that at your name every knee must bow to you on heaven, on earth, and under the earth (Phil 2:9).

Father, I thank you that when I pray in your will, you hear my prayer and you answer it (1 John 5:14-15).

Father, I thank you said that it is your will that every person should not perish but reach repentance (2 Pet 3:9).

Father, I thank you that your Word never changes and that you cannot lie (Num 23:19).

Therefore, Father, I pray in Jesus' name that you would give [name] the gift of repentance and that you would draw [him/her] towards you (2 Tim 2:25; Rom 2:4; John 6:44).

Father, I pray that you would open the eyes of [name] to see things as they really are so that [he/she] would gain a full knowledge of the truth of you (Rom 1:17-18).

Father, I pray that you would soften the heart of [name] and give [him/her] a new heart to know that you are the Lord (Ezek 36:26; Jer 24:7).

Father I pray that you would help [name] to rescue [himself/herself] from the snare of the enemy (2 Tim 2:26).

Father, I pray that you would send laborers across [name]'s path to bring about a harvest of salvation for [him/her] (Matt 9:38; Luke 10:2).

Father, in the name of Jesus I bind all principalities and powers of the enemy that would prevent [name] from receiving your salvation (Matt 16:19; Eph 6:12). I thank you Jesus that at your name they must bow to you.

Father, I thank you that because I have prayed according your will, you have heard me. Therefore I will rest confident knowing that you will do everything within your power to bring [name] into your kingdom before it is too late.

As a side note, I usually only pray this prayer once unless God leads me to pray for parts of it again. Instead, whenever I think of it I will remind him of this prayer and thank him that he is working even now to bring it to pass. We don't have to talk God into saving people; he already wants them saved and has provided the means of salvation for them. Instead, we must ask God to break down the barriers that a person has setup to prevent the truth of revelation from breaking into their hearts. God can and will break down those barriers, but ultimately it comes down to a person's free will whether they receive it or not. Either way, you've done your part.

As another side note, if you have idols in your home I would do this. When your house is empty, take a small bit of olive oil and go throughout your house touching every doorway and entryway in your house. As you touch the overhead arch of each door, say the phrase "Holy Spirit, you are welcome in this place. Please make this home your dwelling place and break the power of the enemy over this house." Do it in such a way that no one else knows that you've done it and watch how things begin to change in that house.

Thanks, onfire, for praying for my family members and for your model prayer and for the instructions on inviting the Holy Spirit to break the power of the evil spirits . I would appreciate it if you can write to me coz I have some questions for you. (rmcgu at yahoo dot com dot ph)

Thanks, joosep, for praying in agreement and to mrsmoo. I agree with what you said. We are truly blessed to have onfire with us. She (?) really took the time and effort to write such a very lengthy reply. It was totally unexpected. So blessed to be a part of this group. To God be the glory. Amen!!!

I too add my amen to this prayer for your mother, Rose. My father had his 94th birthday yesterday. (And thank you, OnFire for sharing it.)
