Now onto a Prayer Passion for Souls! Praying for a Harvest of Families, James W. Goll GEM Staff and Team Prayer Passion for Souls With James W. Goll "Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." Matthew 9:38 NIV It is so important to keep the main thing, the main thing. God always has eternity on His mind and we must have the Gospel of the Kingdom on our minds and hearts at all times as well. We need an infusion of a Passion for Souls! How else are we going to see the Billion Soul Harvest, especially of Youth and beyond, come in? I remember an encounter I had while ministering at Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, California when the seer realm opened up before me. I saw these huge glowing letters right in front of me: "S. H. O. P."  I wondered what it meant. Instantly the Holy Spirit said, "It's time for the Salvation House of Prayer." Yes, the time is Passion for Souls! It is time to pray to the Lord of the Harvest for Souls! Seven Practical Ways of Praying for Souls I need very practical guidelines to help me in my prayer life. Here is a list of seven practical ways to pray for souls who are not yet saved or for those who need a particular kind of help at the moment. Ask God to Soften Their Hearts You can pray specifically for the condition of someone's heart to change. You can pray for God to remove the stones from a heart and to replace it with softness and receptivity. Prophetically, Ezekiel wrote: "And I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God]." —Ezekiel 11:19 (AMP) Hearts can become hard for lots of reasons, but you can stand in God's presence and ask for a change. Ask God to Send a Spirit of Conviction You can pray for the Spirit of Conviction to be released into the heart of the person you are praying for. Remembering John 16:8, you can say, "I call this one before You, and I ask for a spirit of conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgment to come."  Let him/her know Your loving kindness and Your mercy. Convince him/her of eternity. Convince him/her concerning life and death and of the realities of heaven and hell. Convince him/her of the need of a Savior." Ask God to Send a Spirit of Revelation Ask God to send a spirit of wisdom and revelation upon these souls, to open their minds and hearts. It takes revelation to really know you need to be saved. It takes revelation to know who Jesus is. Some people begin to have their hearts awakened and then they go out into the world trying to find God. They need revelation to understand that it's Jesus they're looking for. Pray for them: "…that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe." —Ephesians 1:17–19 (NASB) God may send a spirit of wisdom and revelation, whether through dreams in the night, visions, or angelic visitations. Just pray for it! Ask God to Bring His Word to Remembrance We learn in John 14 that the Holy Spirit is the Helper, and that He will bring God's truth to a person's remembrance: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." —John 14:26 (NASB) God is looking for co-laborers and this is could be today's assignment for you.

I call on You to soften their hearts and to release a spirit of conviction upon them. I pray that you will reveal Your goodness to them and draw them to repentance. Bring to their remembrance all the good words from You that they have heard from their childhoods even until this moment. Dispatch laborers to cross their paths, people who will move in power and kindness. Also release demonstrations of Your amazing love to them. I want these souls to be part of Your eternal family. It's all for Your sake, and it's all in Jesus' holy and wonderful name. Amen and Amen!   P.S. This article was adapted from James Goll's book, Prayer Storm.
