You have to become intense about your needs and desires. Intense means concentrated in an extreme degree, extreme strength, earnestness, strained, unremitting. I wouldn't call that "casual praying."

Intent means engrossed, absorbed, fixed, focused, attentive, intentional, deliberate, strained and willful.

When you get to the place in your prayer life where you become so intense over getting the victory, you will not be denied. If you are believing God for relatives who have been unsaved for thirty years, and you're fed up with it, you will see victory!

You will begin intently declaring, "No more are they going to be serving the devil. No more are they going to be doing drugs. No more are they going to be out there getting drunk. No more are they going to reject Jesus."

Get fed up with it. It's time for them to get saved. We don't have another thirty years to keep waiting for them to accept Jesus. You have to get determined on the inside to do something about it—NOW!

You have to become intense, concentrated, engrossed, absorbed, strained, attentive, and passionate that you will see changes made!
