Youth and Young adults Becoming Agents of Intercession

God promises us that He will save the entire household if one member of that household is saved (see the story of Rahab in Joshua 2).
Generation X and younger are primarily focused on ourselves Even amongst those of us who have accepted Christ, I have noticed that when we pray, the emphasis tends to be focused on our own wants and needs. It is my prayer that this generation of Christians would become agents of intercession and stand in the gap for the unsaved, especially our family. There is a reason why God has called those of us who were born into an earthly family that does not know the love of Christ, it is so that our entire household might be saved. Someone stood in the gap for you and me, and now God is calling us to do the same for our household.
Therefore, I want to encourage all of you, who do know the love of christ, to commit to standing in the gap for our household beginning with praying for a family member, and here is a prayer and scripture to help you.

Thank You for calling us to be Your agents of intercession for
.. By the
grace of God we will build up the wall and stand in the gap before You for
_
that he/she might be spared from eternal destruction.
Lord, we acknowledge Your Son, Jesus, as the Lamb of God Who takes away
____
's sins. Thank. You for sending the Holy Spirit Who goes forth to convince
and convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Your kindness leads
him/she to repent (to change his/her mind and inner man to accept Your
will). You are
the One Who delivers and draws him/her to Yourself out of the control
and dominion of darkness and transfers him/her into the Kingdom of the
Son of Your love.
Lord of the harvest, we ask You to thrust the perfect laborer into
' s path, a
laborer to share Your Gospel in a special way so that he/she will
listen and understand
it.
We believe that he/she will come to his/her senses---come out of the
snare of the
devil
who has held him/her captive---and make Jesus the Lord of his/her life.
Father, as
grows in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, help
Him/her to receive all the spiritual blessings given by You. Thank You
for giving
Him/her
peace that the world cannot take away.
Help
to enter into Your rest and to wait for You without fretting
Himself/herself. May he/she cease from unrighteous anger and wrath.
Father, You sent Jesus to bind up
's heartaches and to heal his/her
emotional and physical pain. The Bible says that You sent Your Word to
heal him/her
and to deliver
from all his/her destructions. We ask You to give him/her a
spirit of wisdom and revelation (of insight into mysteries, and
secrets) in the (deep
and
intimate) knowledge of Jesus, the Messiah.
The chastisement (needful to obtain)
's peace and wellbeing was upon
Jesus, and with the stripes that wounded Him, he/she was healed and
made whole. As
Your child, Father,
has a joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.
This hope will never disappoint or delude him/her; for Your love has been poured
out in
His/her heart through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to him/her.
In the name of Jesus, amen.
