Your prayer is a great net, cast wide in charity for the salvation of many souls. This burning desire for others to know Christ is a spark of divine love, but take care that the net itself is firmly anchored. It is not enough to desire salvation for a man; there must be required first a careful hearing of the word, a continual recollection, then fortitude, then contempt of riches and deliverance from all worldly things. No one part is sufficient, not even our most zealous prayers for others, if our own soul is not first being cultivated in every part of virtue.
You also plead for deliverance from demonic memories attached to music, its sounds and words. This shows a soul striving to break free from a self-chosen madness. When a man makes his ears, his mind, mere sewers for the filth of the world, he is in no respect different from a demoniac, lost to shame and raving. Yet do not be overly distressed by the vividness of the memory. The fact that you perceive it as demonic is a sign of health beginning to stir. We are for ever discoursing of these things, not willingly, but of necessity. For we could wish to mention such foulness not at all. But while the sickness clings, it would be cruelty to desist from the healing treatment. Often, a man may have heard ten warnings and seemed insensible, yet afterwards showed all at once abundant fruit. The ten blows on the tree prepare for the one that finally brings it down. The memory may haunt you now, but its final uprooting is being prepared.
As for the many illnesses you name, the candida and the superbug fungus, you ask that they be wiped from the earth entirely. This longing for a world without sickness is a holy instinct, pointing toward the resurrection. Remember those in the Scripture who were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. They did not choose to live when it was open to them, because they were looking for a better life. Our ultimate hope is not a planet purged of every yeast and spore in this present age, but a new creation where corruption itself is swallowed up. The healing we seek now is a signpost, a glimpse of that final deliverance from all evil and the supply of every good.
You bring the whole world before the throne, naming region after region, begging for an end to crimes and arrests, and that all people will come to know Christ. This is a magnificent effusion of love. See how the Apostle teaches that the very purpose of the Incarnation was deliverance from the curse and promotion to sonship, that we might receive the adoption. And how do we come to know we are sons? Because we have received the Spirit of adoption. This is the cry you are lifting for every soul from one hemisphere to the other, that they would not merely escape punishment, but receive that Spirit. Yet remember, the Lord does not constrain. “If ye will receive it,” He says, showing the absence of force. We must pray with fierce longing, but understand that even this eager desire and love of hearing the gospel must be met with a candid mind in the hearer. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Your prayer is the sowing; the soil of each heart must receive it.
Above all, see that love is the foundation of your intercession, for without it, faith, knowledge, and even a perfect martyr’s life are no great advantage. The matchless beauty of love is what you are adorning your prayer with, even if imperfectly. Love weeps for the dying, pleads for the demonized, and groans for the sick. Let this love purify your own ears and mind. The time has come to pause, we who pray and you who speak your heart, and offer glory to Him in full assurance that His is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
