Good Shepherd
Intro: Jesus said, “I AM the Good Shepherd.” When you name His Name over a lost soul, you are lifting up the banner of active love. Jesus cares more about your lost friends, neighbors and family members than you do. Meditate on these Bible verses and declare His heart of longing over the lost.

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. -1Timothy 2:3-4

Thus it is not [the] will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones perish. -Matthew 18:12-14
The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have [it] abundantly. -John 10:10
Prayer:
I thank You Jesus for the mercy that I have received. I declare that mercy triumphs over judgment, and I ask for Your mercy in {TARGET}’s {life,life,lives}. You did not come to condemn but You came to save. I ask You to send forth Your Holy Spirit to awaken {TARGET}’s {soul,soul,souls} to You. Bring {THEM} back {as a,as a,as} lost sheep into the fold.
I ask for dreams and many divine appointments that would speak deep to {THEIR} {heart,heart,hearts}. Jesus, in Your Name I declare that You wish for no one to perish. Send {THEM} Your kindness that leads to repentance.
I bind the thief in Your Mighty Name and release the abundant life that You purchased through Your blood. I declare that You are the Good Shepherd and that Your desire is for {TARGET}’s salvation.
