My prayer for calvinists:
Lord, show calvinists how selfish they are being by believing in calvinism, that in that selfishness they see their sin nature can even deceive or be deceived to think that God will save them even without a free will to repentantly come to the cross as a helpless sinners to receive you Jesus as Lord and Savior. Show them free will is really free will and not some illusion that is bound by God because of sin to not accept the cross unless You decide to grace some with a renewed will after regeneration of their spirit. And how wrong it is for you God to save someone without their very own free will to have the choice, or to not provide someone the opportunity to be saved. And that you did indeed die for the sins all, pleading with all, so that anyone whosoever will can receive your only begotten Son. Show them how you would be a vain and pretentious God if you pleaded with others to receive Him yet none could do so because of bondage of their will, so they may know the will is not in bondage, but it does have a propensity to sin, and everyone who is still unsaved or thinks they are saved when they are not are still made in God's image to have the choice by their own free will; just as David, the man after God's own heart, was said to be "perfect" who was not sinless but had a propensity to be perfect. I pray that You reveal to as many calvinists that will hear You they need not be embarrassed for being unsaved up to this point, for You love the saved soul no matter what their prior circumstances. And in fact, You take glory in a person who has been unsaved for so long even though they thought they were saved, and then they truly come to repentance for salvation by the grace of God in Christ to help other calvinists escape the lack of joy in what they are going through. And don't forget to show Christians who have been deceived by the evil spirit into calvinism, they are empowered by the Holy Spirit to rebuke calvinism, all its 5 points, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, to confess the way God saves is according to the osas arminian teaching and be a beacon of light to others. May you draw people into realizing these truths by convicting them and convincing them, and activate in them the gift of faith to receive salvation (regeneration) under one condition: "What must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved" (Acts 16.30-31). Amen.
Praise the Lord!
Thank you Jesus.
