Prayer Support for Missionaries—Acts 13:4-12

by on October 07, 2021

Pray that they are confident in God’s Word (Acts 13:4–5).

4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them.

Missionaries are sent not just to learn culture or do humanitarian relief but to confidently proclaim the Word of God.

Pray that they would be filled with God’s Spirit (Acts 13:6–9).

6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus. 7 He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. 9 But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him.

Believers already have the Holy Spirit in them, but at times the Spirit fills someone in a special way to enable him or her to proclaim God’s Word.

Pray for their victory in spiritual warfare (Acts 13:10–12).

10 and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

When our brothers and sisters take the gospel into the nations, they are going into a war. The devil is dead set on destroying souls and diverting mission.

Pray for their success in gospel witness (Acts 13:12).

12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

Pray that many would come to know Christ in all walks of life from the faithful witness of our missionaries.
