Rhapsody of Realities 18 November 2025: Travailing Deeply in Prayers for Souls
SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.his field.
One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learnt in soul winning is the value of persistence in prayer. When you’re interceding for someone’s salvation, you move into deep travail, wailing in the Spirit. You already said before entering your place of prayer, “Today’s prayer is deep travail” because you know the worth of a soul.
When the Lord Jesus spoke of the man who found one pearl of great price, He said the man sold all he had to obtain it (Matthew 13:45-46). That’s what a soul means to God, and that’s what we understand as soul winners that make us groan in prayer and keep pressing until a soul is won and established in the Kingdom.
When you intercede like this, you continue in the Spirit until there’s a release. The love of Christ compels you. You’re not praying out of selfish interest. You’re not crying in prayer over someone you want to marry or do business with; it’s strictly for their salvation. You’re driven by love and the Spirit’s burden for a life that must be transformed, a soul that must be won for Christ.
Read our opening scripture again; it lets you know that in the place of intercession, you pray passionately that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ shines in the hearts of those who haven’t yet known the Lord, prevailing over darkness, religion and deception.
You don’t stop; you declare that every resistance in their hearts to the Gospel is broken, they’re delivered from Satan’s dominion, and as they hear the message, their hearts are open to receive it for their salvation. Hallelujah!
Remember, “…The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]” (James 5:16 AMPC). Your heartfelt intercessory prayers will make the required power available for their salvation.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for counting me faithful and committing to me the ministry of reconciliation. I’m stirred and compelled by your love to intercede for the lost, praying with passion and divine urgency. And as I do, they’re delivered from darkness into light, and from the power of Satan unto God. Amen.

Colossians 4:12
12 Epaphras, who is one of yourselves, a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. [He is] always striving for you earnestly in his prayers, [pleading] that you may [as persons of ripe character and clear conviction] stand firm and mature [in spiritual growth], convinced and fully assured in everything willed by God.
Galatians 4:19
19 My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you,
Ephesians 3:14-19
14 For this reason [seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ], I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name].
16 May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality].
17 May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love,
18 That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God’s devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];
19 [That you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]!
