The devil is going to go after newborn babes in Christ. This is something we can expect. But what are the reasons for it?

Look at Isaiah 59:15-16, as it provides us with a clue,
So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him. I want you to think about that. Truth fails, and the person who departs from evil makes himself a prey, in the same way that a lion looks at a wounded gazelle as prey.

To me this is a picture of what happens to some new believers. They depart from evil (get saved) and suddenly it seems like everything is going wrong for them. And God is not pleased about it!

Where it says He wondered literally means He was astonished that there was no intercessor. This means that there was no one praying. That is why they became prey!

If we do not pray for those who turn from evil, then they will become the prey of the devil. We have a responsibility to intercede for people who come to Christ. It puts up a barrier of protection around them.

Paul wrote to the Colossians about this when he said, Praying always for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ. Paul didn’t just pray for them before they were saved, he also prayed for them after they were saved.

Oh, may God not wonder in our day, “Where is the intercessor who should be praying for the new babes in Christ?”

Let’s take our responsibility seriously and pray for those who have newly come to the faith.
