CONVERT

It may surprise you that the word, "Convert," is in My Word.  My prophet Isaiah wrote about the conversion experience when he said, "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed."  It truly is in My Spirit's power to dull the ears and shut the eyes of people. This is a judgment that My Father delivers to rebellious people. When this happens, they are not able to turn to Me.  Just as I hardened the heart of Pharaoh, I can harden people's hearts to fulfill My purposes. My purpose in hardening Pharaoh's heart was to show forth My glory to an unbelieving nation.

It is My Father's will now that none perish, but that all turn to Me.  Only My Father by My Holy Spirit has the power to open the eyes of the understanding of people and open their ears so that they can hear My good news, repent, and come to Me. 

When you pray for those you know who do not yet know Me, pray that My Father will draw them, remove the veil upon their spiritual eyes by My Spirit, and open their ears so that they can respond to the gospel.  Also pray that the gift of faith will be delivered to them so that faith and the word can cause them to be born again.
