We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep confession and cry for deliverance, lifting your burdens to Jesus Christ, who alone is our Redeemer, Healer, and Strong Tower. Your heart is laid bare before Him, and we thank God that you are seeking His face in the midst of these struggles—for He is faithful to hear and answer when we call upon His name.
First, we rejoice that you are invoking the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus—His death, burial, and resurrection—that we are cleansed from sin and given new life. If you have not already surrendered your life fully to Him as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so without delay. Confess your sins, repent, and trust in Him alone for salvation. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* (1 John 1:9, WEB).
We hear the pain in your words—memories of your father’s hurtful words, the weight of past drug use, the disturbance of unfamiliar spiritual influences, and the fear of retaliation or persecution. These are not small things, and the Lord sees the depth of your distress. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Let us address each of these before the throne of grace, where we may receive mercy and find help in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
The words spoken over you by your father, comparing your room to a "pigstye" or whispering harmful labels, were not of God. Words have power, and the enemy often uses them to plant lies, shame, or confusion in our minds. But Jesus came to set the captives free, and He desires to replace those words with His truth: *"You are fearfully and wonderfully made"* (Psalm 139:14). *"You are a new creation in Christ; the old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17). We rebuke the spirit of shame and condemnation that may have taken root from those words, and we declare that you are a child of God, redeemed and loved. *"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1). Father, we ask that You heal the wounds left by these words. Replace the lies with Your truth, and let Your love cast out every fear.
The strange dreams you mention, which you attribute to healing from past drug use, are a reminder that the enemy seeks to exploit our weaknesses, even in our subconscious. But God is greater. Drug use opens doors to spiritual oppression, and we urge you to renounce any involvement with substances that alter the mind or body in ungodly ways. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray for complete deliverance from any lingering effects of drug use—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Lord, close every door that was opened to the enemy through these actions. Fill this brother with Your Holy Spirit, and let his mind be renewed by Your Word. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8).
The disturbance from Muslim prayers is a spiritual matter that must be addressed with authority in Jesus’ name. We are not to fear other spiritual influences, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). We command every spirit not of God to flee from your presence, and we ask the Lord to surround you with His angels for protection. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17). Father, let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Your request for separation and protection from previous acquaintances is wise if those relationships were not godly or led you away from Christ. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). We pray that the Lord would sever any ungodly soul ties and grant you divine protection from those who might seek to harm or distract you from His will. *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”"* (Psalm 91:1-2). Lord, hide him under the shadow of Your wings, and let no weapon formed against him prosper.
The fear of revenge from the church is a heavy burden, and we must address this with truth. If there has been offense or sin on your part, the biblical response is repentance and reconciliation where possible. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18). However, if the fear is rooted in unjust persecution, remember that Jesus warned us: *"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you"* (Matthew 5:10-12). We pray that the Lord would expose any unjust motives and protect you from harm. If there is genuine wrongdoing on your part, we ask for the grace to make it right and for the Lord to soften hearts toward forgiveness.
Your mention of "nuked Japanese persecution and intolerance of fat people" suggests deep-seated fears, possibly tied to cultural or personal experiences. We rebuked the spirit of fear, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Whatever the source of these fears, we ask the Lord to replace them with His perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). You are not defined by the world’s standards or its cruelty. You are defined by Christ’s love and sacrifice for you.
Lastly, your concern for your previous Holy Bible is a reminder of the importance of God’s Word in our lives. While online resources are useful, there is something powerful about holding the physical Word of God in your hands. *"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path"* (Psalm 119:105). We pray that the Lord would provide you with a Bible if that is His will, and that He would ignite a hunger in you for His truth. Let the Scriptures be your daily bread, nourishing your soul and guiding your steps.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear brother who has poured out his heart before You. Lord, You see the depths of his pain—the wounds from words spoken, the fears that grip his mind, the spiritual battles he faces, and the desire for protection and peace. We ask that You would meet him in this place of vulnerability and flood his soul with Your presence.
Father, we pray for healing from the hurtful words of his father. Replace the lies with Your truth, and let him know that he is fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image. Break the power of shame and condemnation, and let him walk in the freedom of Your love.
We renounce any involvement with drugs or substances that have defiled his body or mind. Lord, cleanse him by the blood of Jesus, and restore him to wholeness. Guard his mind from strange dreams and fill him with Your peace. Let Your Word be his meditation day and night.
We take authority over any disturbance from Muslim prayers or ungodly spiritual influences. We command every spirit not of God to flee in Jesus’ name. Surround him with Your angels, and let Your presence be a wall of fire around him.
Lord, we ask for divine separation from ungodly acquaintances. Sever any soul ties that are not of You, and grant him wisdom to walk in righteous relationships. Protect him from any retaliation or harm, and let Your justice prevail.
We rebuke the spirit of fear—fear of persecution, fear of man, fear of the unknown. Fill him with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear. Let him rest in the assurance that You are his Protector and Provider.
Father, we ask that You would meet his need for a physical Bible if it is Your will. Let Your Word be a lamp to his feet and a light to his path. Ignite in him a passion for Your truth, and let it transform his life.
We thank You, Lord, for Your peace, providence, and progress in his life. May he walk in the fullness of Your promises, knowing that You are with him always. Strengthen him, Lord, and let him rise up in the authority of Jesus’ name, victorious over every scheme of the enemy.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
