i and my girlfriend was on the phone the other night and she ask me to pray for her eventually she will be saved by your prayers thank you brother cheek
Dear Heavenly Father, Salvation comes only from You and yet you ask us to pray and ask according to Your will. We believe it is Your will for Travis' girlfriend to be converted because we already see that You have begun this conversion by regenerating her to then seek salvation. Praise You for what You have done in her already. We ask that You swiftly bring her to full conversion through the Work of you Holy Spirit and founded on the salvation accomplished for us through Jesus' death and resurrection. How wonderful that this girlfriend is a new creation in You already and will soon come to the full realization and actualization of the salvation You have determined to bring to her since even before the beginning of time. Bless her richly with wisdom from Your Word. May Jesus become so very precious to her and may she have a deep hunger for You Your ways. Fill her up with Your Truth and sanctify her by Your Holy Spirit. We thank you as we ask these things for Travis' girlfriend in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.
Hi Travis, I am praying for your girlfriend. How wonderful that she is seeking the Lord.
Please know that our prayers are heard by our Loving God, but prayers do not save anyone. Only God saves people. We ask that He will bring one to salvation, and He does what He sovereignly has chosen for this person. This does not mean that prayers are meaningless. It just means that God has chosen to tell us to seek Him in prayer and He answers our prayers perfectly. I tend to think that, although He can sovereignly save your girlfriend without our prayers for her, He may have appointed the effective salvation of her to follow our prayers for her. What a generous thing God has called us to in regards to prayer!
But, as with everyone who is converted, God alone saves. The Holy Spirit will regenerate any and all God has ordained to be saved. Humans who are dead in sin cannot turn to God nor make themselves come alive to God. The Holy Spirit will ensure that the Gospel of Jesus comes to every believer after this regenerative work. The Holy Spirit also empowers the Gospel delivered to a regenerated person to create faith to believe it in this person. The Holy Spirit will then bring the person to avow that they are now a believer, or born again. They are now aware that they have been regenerated and saved by the death and resurrection of Jesus, our Savior. Because of His death and resurrection, a new believer now has the righteousness of Jesus imputed to them so that the Father can look on him/her and declare him to be pure and spotless, without sin, and acceptable to Him. The blood of Jesus has taken away all sin from this new believer. All iniquity was forgiven at Calvary. His resurrection justifies us before God.
From start to finish, salvation is all of God alone. Although it seems that we "make a decision for Christ" in reality, this confession we make is only the result of what God has already done in a person to bring them to rebirth, faith, and conversion.
You might consider sharing the link with the verses 'become a Christian' on the bottom of this page. Others can pray but not to 'save' someone else, she must make the decision and choose to believe and follow Jesus herself. God bless.
Now I will pray for your girlfriend.
