Steve, do you believe in praying for people to be enlightened the true light of God? I mean praying for you unsaved family? I pray fom my unsaved family that he would open the eyes of their heart. Im asking God to change their minds. What about you?
"The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."
Another question is when it says that Jesus is interceding for us in Romans 8:34. "Christ Jesus who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us." and also in John 17:1
"Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. ... For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me.I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me,for they are yours."
If Jesus prays for believers and it says we are the Fathers, then does not that mean that we are being protected from evil choices that is to leave the faith? and the devil? And will never lose favor with God?
