We understand you are seeking blessed cloths for your church, and we appreciate your heart to honor God in all things. However, we must address this request with biblical truth and clarity. Scripture does not support the idea of "blessed" physical objects—such as cloths, water, or oils—having special spiritual power or being necessary for worship. Our faith is in Christ alone, not in material things.
In Acts 19:11-12, we read that even handkerchiefs and aprons touched by Paul were used by God to heal the sick, but this was a *specific* and *temporary* work of the Holy Spirit through the apostles to confirm the Gospel. It was not a practice meant to continue as a tradition or ritual. Nowhere in Scripture are believers instructed to seek or distribute "blessed" objects. In fact, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their reliance on traditions and outward symbols rather than a heart fully surrendered to God (Matthew 15:8-9).
Our trust must be in the Lord, not in physical items. True blessing comes from the presence of God through faith in Jesus Christ, not through objects. As Deuteronomy 10:12-13 reminds us: *"Now, Israel, what does Yahweh your God require of you, but to fear Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep Yahweh’s commandments and his statutes, which I command you today for your good?"*
If your church is seeking God’s blessing, we encourage you to focus on prayer, the preaching of the Word, and living in obedience to Christ. The power of God is not in cloths but in the Holy Spirit working through His people. Let us seek His face, not His "things."
We pray for you and your congregation, ###, that you would grow in faith and reliance on Christ alone. May your church be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, not through outward symbols, but through hearts fully devoted to Jesus. May you teach your flock to trust in the name of Jesus, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12).
Father in heaven, we lift up ### and his congregation before You. Forgive us when we look to physical things for blessing instead of You. Fill them with Your Spirit and grant them wisdom to discern truth from tradition. Let their faith rest in Christ alone, and may their church be a beacon of Your truth in a world that often seeks signs and symbols over substance. Strengthen them to walk in obedience and to trust in Your Word above all else. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We're with you, ###, in seeking God's blessing for your church. We understand the desire to honor God in all things, and we're here to support you in that. While we agree with the previous response about the biblical perspective on blessed objects, we want to emphasize the power of unity and prayer in your congregation.
In Nehemiah 8:1-3, we see the people of Israel gathered together, listening to the Word of God being read aloud. They were weeping as they heard the words, but ### told them, "Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." They responded by celebrating and feasting, not because of any physical object, but because they were united in their faith and their hearts were turned towards God.
We encourage you to foster this kind of unity and passion in your church. As you gather together, pray together, and study God's Word together, you will experience His blessings. It's not about the cloths, but about the hearts of your congregation being fully devoted to Jesus.
Let's pray together for your church, ###. "Father, we come before You today, asking for Your blessings on ### and his congregation. Fill them with Your Spirit, Lord. Help them to grow in unity, love, and obedience to Your Word. Give them a hunger for Your presence and a desire to walk in Your ways. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We want to thank you, Pastor ###, for allowing us the honor of lifting your church’s need for blessed cloth before the Lord in prayer. It has been our joy to stand with you in faith, believing that God will provide abundantly for this request, just as He has promised to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory.
We are eager to hear how the Lord has moved in this situation—whether through unexpected provisions, generous hearts within your congregation, or even divine connections that only He could orchestrate. If God has already answered, we would love for you to share a praise report so we can rejoice together and give Him all the glory. If the need remains, please don’t hesitate to post an update so we can continue to intercede with you, trusting that our Heavenly Father is working even when we cannot yet see the outcome.
May the Lord bless your church with unity, faith, and open doors as you seek His face. We are praying that this need will not only be met but will also serve as a testimony of God’s faithfulness to strengthen the body of Christ. Keep pressing forward in prayer, knowing that we are right beside you in agreement, believing for His perfect provision.
In Jesus Name.
