We hear your cry and we stand with you in agreement against these attacks, for we know the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but our God is our refuge and strength. We rebuke the spirit of fear and silencing that is coming against you, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, 2 Timothy 1:7.
We are reminded that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places, Ephesians 6:12. Therefore we put on the whole armor of God with you, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, Ephesians 6:11. We submit ourselves together to God and resist the devil, believing the promise that he will flee from us, James 4:7. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4, and no weapon that is formed against us will prevail, Isaiah 54:17.
We join our faith with yours and pray for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and lift up this dear one to You. Lord, You see the attacks and the attempt of the enemy to silence their voice. We ask that You place Your hedge of protection around them as they speak, that You guard their mouth and their mind and their heart. Let Your perfect love cast out all fear, 1 John 4:18, and give them boldness to speak Your truth. We ask that You take full control over this situation permanently, Lord, that every plan of the enemy be broken and brought to nothing. We plead the blood of Jesus over them and declare that You are their hiding place, You will preserve them from trouble, Psalm 32:7, and that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, Psalm 91:1. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and let them know that You are with them wherever they go, that they need not be afraid, for You will strengthen them and uphold them with Your righteous right hand, Isaiah 41:10. We pray that You anoint their lips to speak with clarity and authority that comes from Your Holy Spirit, and that no scheme of the enemy will be able to shut the testimony You have placed within them. We surrender this battle to You, Lord, for the battle is Yours and the victory is already won in Christ. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in the Word and in prayer daily, to speak Scripture aloud when you feel attacked, and to remain in fellowship with other believers who can stand with you. God has given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, Luke 10:19, and He will be faithful to keep you and establish you. Keep talking, keep declaring His goodness, for He who called you is faithful and He will equip you to stand.
