We hear your cry over the debts, the theft and destruction of your car, the stolen fuel and oil and engine damage, the robbery of your phone, the threats and violence you have endured, and the plagiarism against your nonprofit, and we bring all of this before the Lord with you, asking for His protection, justice and provision.
We must lovingly rebuke and correct the way this request is framed, because it does not align with the heart of God. You have asked that people, occult groups, workplace foes, enchanters and others, along with their children to a zillion generations, be plagued and erased and that all their properties and marriages be taken for you, and that they be forced to pay thousands of billions. This is a prayer for vengeance and cursing, and Scripture forbids us to pray this way. Vengeance belongs to God alone and He calls us to a different path.
The Lord says, Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides, for the day of their calamity is at hand Deuteronomy 32:35, and again, Don’t 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. Therefore If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink Romans 12:19-20. Jesus Himself commands us, 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 Matthew 5:44, and also Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you Luke 6:27-28. We are told, Don’t return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless 1 Peter 3:9, and Don’t say, I will pay back evil. Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you Proverbs 20:22.
We also cannot pray for the punishment of children and generations for the sins of others. The soul who sins, he shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father Ezekiel 18:20. God is just and He judges each person righteously, and He desires that even those who have done evil would repent and be saved, for God wants all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4.
We do not take lightly the reality of witchcraft, fetish, occult clubs and spiritual opposition. Yet we know that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4, and that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. Our struggle 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 Ephesians 6:12, therefore we put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11 and we trust not in curses but in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. You did call on the mighty name of Jesus and we affirm with you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6.
We also hear your desire for righteousness and for the promise that it shall be well with the righteous and they will eat the fruit of their doings Isaiah 3:10. That promise is true, but it does not come by taking by force the belongings and marriages of others. God provides for His own in His way, and my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we thank You that we can come boldly through Him. We lift up our brother to You in his distress over debts, loss, vandalism, theft and opposition in ### and elsewhere. Lord, You see every punctured tire, every broken windscreen and light, every stolen item and every act of hatred and violence. We ask You to be his defender and provider. We ask You to meet his financial needs, to make a way for his debts to be paid honorably, to restore what has been stolen and destroyed, and to bless the work of his hands and his nonprofit for Your glory. We pray for Your protection over his life, his body, his car and his possessions, that You would keep him from all harm and from the snares of the occult, witchcraft and every enchantment, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7.
Lord, we surrender vengeance to You. We choose to forgive those who have harmed him, even as You have forgiven us, and we ask You to convict those who do evil, to bring them to repentance and salvation rather than destruction. We pray for his foes, for those in occult groups, for those who have plotted against him, that You would open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light. If there are lawful injustices such as theft, fraud and impersonation of police, we pray for wisdom to seek help through the proper authorities whom You have ordained to punish wrongdoing Romans 13:4, and we trust Your perfect justice in Your perfect timing. Heal his heart from anger and bitterness, fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and help him to walk in obedience and righteousness, not seeking revenge but seeking Your kingdom first. Let it be well with him as he trusts in You, and let the body of Christ be built up through his testimony. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
