Interceding with Discernment

 “If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

In the Body of Christ, if anyone observes a fellow believer habitually sinning in a way that doesn’t lead to death, our part is to keep interceding in prayer that God will give that person life. Now, there is a sin that leads to death, and we are not encouraged to pray for those who commit it.  For if one continues to wilfully persist in deliberate sin after they  have known and received the truth, there is not another sacrifice for sin to be made for them.  Wilfully rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ after having received Him in our heart, is to await a fiery judgment.  May the Holy Spirit help us to pray with discernment according to the will of our Father.  Our prayer is ever, ‘not my will, but Thy Will be done’.  Amen!
