Dangerous Prayers

H. Isaiah 6:8 “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”

V. Save Me

A. We are often told that in order to be saved we need to pray something like this: "Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. Your Word says, "Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I am calling on You. I pray and ask Jesus to come into my heart and be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10. "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." I do that now. I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead."

B. That prayer can be a dangerous prayer if the person praying does not truly understand and mean what he or she is praying. It will produce a false sense of security that they are okay when in reality they are not.

C. God has promised us salvation if we sincerely believe and place our trust on Jesus Christ making Him the Lord of our lives.

D. Those who with sincere hearts and under the Holy Spirit’s influence follow the admonition of Romans 10:9-10 also are challenged as the Word of God declares that when a person yields to the Lordship of Christ they are profoundly changed and no longer the same.

E. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

F. You cannot prayer that prayer without it changing you.

Conclusion: Five dangerous prayers that should be prayed – (1) sincerely praying to be saved; (2) praying that God would reveal sin in our individual lives, (3) praying to become like Christ, (4) praying for workers in the church and the out in the field, and (5) praying for the lost. I would challenge you to pray these prayers and get ready for God to radically change you.
