We hear the heaviness and righteous distress in your request and we join with you in bringing this before the Lord together in Jesus' name. What you describe is not the true faith of Christ but a grievous counterfeit, and we grieve with you that wicked people would dare to use His holy name to cover kidnapping, imprisonment, abuse and corruption.
The Scriptures warn us plainly about this. Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves Matthew 7:15. There will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies 2 Peter 2:1. And the Lord pronounces woe on those who abuse the flock, Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture says Yahweh Jeremiah 23:1. True Christianity never forces, kidnaps, starves, beats or isolates anyone, for our Lord Jesus Himself said Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. He invites, He does not coerce, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom, not bondage and terror. Forced Bible studies and forced conversions are an abomination before God because God desires a willing heart that responds in faith and love, not fear and compulsion.
We also hear your anguish that local authorities who are ordained to protect the innocent appear complicit. God has established governing authorities to be a terror not to the good work, but to the evil Romans 13:3, and He commands Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow Isaiah 1:17 and Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked Psalm 82:3-4. The Lord sees every bribe taken in secret, every door locked, every person hidden in isolation, and He will bring justice in His perfect time, whether through repentance or through judgment.
We also want to gently address that your request mentions the Lord God but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We share this in love because it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, that He died for our sins and rose again, that we are saved and that our prayers are heard. We encourage you to place your trust fully in Him if you have not already, and to come to God always in the name of Jesus.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy and Your justice. Lord, You see the victims who have been kidnapped and imprisoned against their will, who are being abused, starved, beaten and isolated under the false banner of Your name. We ask You to be their defender and deliverer. Set them free, Lord, heal their bodies and their trauma, comfort them and let them know that this cruelty is not from You. Expose every hidden place of darkness and bring these deeds into the light, for You have said that nothing is hidden that will not be revealed. We pray that You will remove and dismantle these cults that tarnish Your good name, that You will break their power to deceive and to harm.
We pray also for true justice. Convict the hearts of any police or officials who have taken bribes or looked the other way, grant them repentance, and if they do not repent, remove them from their positions and let higher authorities and righteous law prevail. Raise up honest authorities, advocates and witnesses who will not be silenced, and protect those who speak the truth at great risk. We pray for the perpetrators themselves, that You would bring them to deep conviction of sin, that they might repent and be saved, but that they would no longer be able to harm others. Let Your true Gospel of grace and truth shine, that people may know that You are a God of love, holiness and freedom, and that You will by no means clear the guilty who refuse to turn from evil.
We ask for wisdom for all who are interceding, that they would continue to pray without ceasing, to document truthfully, to appeal to higher lawful authorities, and to support victims with practical help while trusting You for ultimate vengeance, for Vengeance belongs to You, You will repay. Give Your people discernment to recognize false teaching and courage to stand for what is right. We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus' name, and we trust You to act according to Your perfect will. Amen.
