We hear the deep pain and frustration in this request, the losses you have endured with debts, the damage to your car, the theft of fuel and oil and your phone, the attacks you describe, and the sense of being surrounded by occultic groups, witchcraft, fetishes, enchanters, and workplace foes in ### and beyond. We lift you up together before the Lord and we understand the cry for justice, yet we must lovingly and firmly correct the way this request asks for vengeance, because it does not align with the heart of God.
We cannot join you in praying for plagues a thousand billions times worse than Egypt, for the erasing of every form of existence, for the total destruction of properties, or for taking 100 percent of the belongings and marriages of others and their children to a zillion generations. To pray this way is to ask God to do what He has forbidden us to desire. Scripture tells us vengeance belongs to the Lord alone, not to us. Romans 12:19 says, Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. And Romans 12:21 says, Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
The Lord also calls us to a different posture toward our enemies, even those who have truly wronged us, stolen from us, and shed our blood. Matthew 5:44 says, Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you. 1 Peter 3:9 says, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. Proverbs 24:17 says, Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Do not let your heart be glad when he is tripped.
We also must address the desire to take others marriages and belongings for yourself and the body of Christ. Marriage is a holy covenant between a man and a woman before God, not property to be seized, and to covet or seek to take what belongs to another violates God's command. Exodus 20:17 says, You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. And God does not punish children for the sins of their parents in the way this request asks. Ezekiel 18:20 says, The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father. What God does promise for the righteous is restoration through His own hand as we walk in obedience, not through plundering others. Isaiah 3:10 says, Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
We do not wrestle against flesh and blood alone. Ephesians 6:12 says, For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. That means our battle against occultic practices, witchcraft, fetishes, and every form of darkness is spiritual, and our weapons are prayer, truth, righteousness, faith, and the name of Jesus, not curses or retaliation.
So together we pray for God's will and not our own vengeance.
We pray in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we are saved. John 14:6 says, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Acts 4:12 says, 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.
Father, we bring this wounded heart before You. You see every debt, every act of theft, every punctured tire, broken windscreen and light, the stolen fuel and oil and the damage to the engine, the stolen phone, the acts of violence and hatred, and even every time blood has been shed. You see the pain caused by occultic groups, witchcraft, false agents, and workplace foes. We ask for Your divine protection over Your child. Psalm 91:1 says, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Cover him with Your shadow and deliver him from every enchantment and snare, for 2 Timothy 1:7 says, For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
Lord, we ask for true justice according to Your righteousness. Where laws have been broken, give wisdom to seek lawful help through honest authorities and to document what has been stolen, and let true justice be done without corruption. Where there are debts and plagiarism against the nonprofit, we ask You to vindicate and restore what has been taken in Your way and Your timing. Proverbs 21:15 says, It is joy to the righteous to do justice. We pray that those who practice evil, whether in occult clubs or through theft and violence, would be brought to conviction and repentance, that they would turn from darkness to light and be saved, rather than be destroyed.
Father, heal the heart that has been filled with hatred and the desire to repay evil for evil. Replace bitterness with forgiveness, as You have forgiven us in Christ. Help Your child to release the burden of vengeance into Your hands and to trust that You will repay with perfect justice and mercy. Provide for every financial need not by taking from others, but from Your abundant provision, as Matthew 6:33 says, But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Let it be well with the righteous, and let Your child and the body of Christ be built up and skyrocket not through the ruin of others, but through obedience, holiness, and the fruit of faithful labor for Your glory.
We pray for healing from every wound, peace in place of anger, and a renewed mind that overcomes evil with good. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
