Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 - The 4 Characteristics of Evangelistic Prayer

These characteristically evangelistic prayers are to be made on behalf of all people, including kings and all who are in authority. Our prayers are all too often narrowly confined to personal needs and wants and rarely extend beyond those of our immediate circle of friends and family. In sharp contrast, however, Paul calls for evangelistic prayer on behalf of all men. There is no place for selfishness or exclusivity. We are not to try to limit either the gospel call or our evangelistic prayers.
