Abba Father, when your children got saved, Father, you didn’t just have us in mind.

Abba Father, you have our whole family in mind, as in Acts 16: 31,
“Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Lord, we have opened a big door for You, O Lord, to move into our family’s life and to touch every member of our family who is yet to be saved.

Your WORD says You desire for all men to be saved and to come into the knowledge of the truth, so we bring our loved ones before You this day.

Abba Father, we break the power of Satan from their assignments and activities in our family’s life in the Name of Jesus.

We bind the work of Satan, and we ask that You send forth laborers to share the good news of the gospel in such a way that they will listen and understand it.

As truth ministers, we believe our loved ones will come to their senses and come out of the snare of the devil and make Jesus the LORD of their life.

In Jesus’ name, Amen
