Praying For Those Who Are Not Saved

[Albert Finch]

Why do we need to persevere with God in prayer concerning the salvation of others?

[Albert Finch]

Luke 11:8 - "I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence and insistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs."

We need to stay befor the Father,prayering for those who are not saved to receive the Bread of Salvation -- like the man in Luke 11:8 did fo rhis friend.
 
Who do we need to persevere with God in prayer concerning the salvation of others?

It's certainly not because we have to change God's mind.  He never changes.  His mind is made up.  He wants all men saved.  The reason we have to persevere in intercession is to put pressure on the demonic forces that are trying to keep God's will from being accomplished.  Those forces must be broken down through prayer so that stronholds are destroyed and spiritual blinders are removed from the spiritual eyes of the people we are praying for.  

While God will not go against the will of people, He will move through our intercession to reveal himself.  Through persistent prayers God will bring them to the knowledge of their need for Him.  Then they will reach out for Him and spiritual rebirth can take place!
