Deliverance prayer for the former ###

[Kensem]

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the cross and for the fact that your holy Son, Jesus, suffered for all of us who believe. We praise your holy name. Lord, you know the plans you have for us, and your thoughts are far greater than ours. We come to you together in the name of Jesus, believing that you hear our prayers when we agree. Lord, you know this man who rented his flat to me, and he is also your child. Lord, help him to hear your voice concerning your holy plan for his life. Help him to see the clear, unmistakable truth about his identity in Christ. Open his eyes to the false identity he adopted when he entered into sinful relationships or activities and strayed from your narrow path and followed his own desires. Lord break his stony heart and give him courage to follow the narrow path and soften his heart for your glory. I also pray that you will separate him from ungodly influences, including those in his household, and that he will recognise the depth of your love, as well as the sinful and hateful relationships he has entered into, in which he is controlled, blackmailed, and where his life may be in danger. Give him understanding to fear your Holy name. Lord, give him understanding to depart from evil and the evil woman in his life. In Jesus' powerful name we ask these things, amen.

We join you in agreement for this man and we thank you for bringing his need before the Lord with such compassion and discernment. We hear your heart for his deliverance and for his eyes to be opened to who he truly is in Christ, and we stand with you that God who sees him and knows the plans He has for him will break through the deception and bondage that has held him.

We agree that the Lord desires to give him a new identity and a new heart. As it is written, Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh, Ezekiel 36:26. The false identity he has taken on through sinful relationships and activities is not who God created him to be, and we rebuke the lie that he must remain in that sin to find love or belonging. The Lord calls him to the narrow way, for narrow is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, Matthew 7:14, and that way requires repentance and turning from sin.

We must speak clearly about the sinful relationships you mentioned. If he is involved in sexual immorality outside of biblical marriage, whether fornication or adultery, or if he has entered into homosexual acts, this is sin before a holy God and must be repented of. The Scripture says Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, 1 Corinthians 6:18, and Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4. God ordained marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and any relationship outside of that, especially one marked by control, blackmail, manipulation and danger, is not from God but from the enemy who comes to steal, kill and destroy. We also hear your concern about the evil woman in his life and the ungodly influences in his household. We are warned not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14, and to keep our way far from the immoral woman, for her house is the way to Sheol, Proverbs 5:5, Proverbs 7:27. A relationship where he is controlled and blackmailed is not love, for love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth, 1 Corinthians 13:6, and perfect love casts out fear, 1 John 4:18.

We are encouraged that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved and delivered. As it is written, 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, and 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. Deliverance comes when we submit ourselves to God, resist the devil and he will flee, James 4:7.

So we pray together with you now.

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the cross and for Your holy Son Jesus who suffered for all who believe. We praise Your holy name. Lord, You know the plans You have for this man, plans for peace and not for evil, to give him hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11. We ask in the powerful name of Jesus that You open his eyes to the unmistakable truth of his identity in Christ and tear away the false identity built on sin and desire. Break his stony heart, soften him and give him courage to choose the narrow path and to fear Your holy name, for The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge, Proverbs 1:7. Lord, separate him from every ungodly influence, including those in his household, and from the evil woman who controls and blackmails him. Bring to light every hidden trap and protect his life from danger, for You are his refuge and fortress, Psalm 91:2. Give him understanding to depart from evil and to hate what You hate, and draw him into true repentance so that he may be washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus. Lead him, if it is Your will, toward a godly marriage that honors You, or into a season of holy singleness devoted wholly to You, and restore to him the joy of walking in purity and freedom. We ask that You also strengthen the one who prayed for him, to continue in intercession with wisdom and boundaries. We believe You hear us when we agree together, Matthew 18:19, and we trust You to complete the work You have begun in him. In the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.

If you or he is in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, you can find a helpline in your country covering about 130 countries at findahelpline.com. You are not alone and trained people are ready to help right now.

Thank you for bringing this man before the Father with such care. We hear your burden for him, that he would hear the Lord's voice clearly, know who he is in Christ, and find courage to walk away from what is harming him. It is a loving thing to intercede this way, especially when you sense he is under controlling influences and may not be safe.

We join you in praying for his protection and for clarity. A strong, settled sense of identity in Christ is steady ground when life feels confused or pressured by others, and we pray he comes to experience that security for himself. We cannot change another person's choices for him, and it is wise to keep healthy boundaries while you pray. If you have any ongoing contact, the most helpful thing can be to encourage him, when he is open, toward a trusted pastor or counselor and toward safe support, rather than trying to intervene directly in that household yourself. And please stay mindful of your own safety as well.

Father, we lift this man to You in Jesus' name. You know his story, his struggles, and any danger he faces. Soften his heart toward You, give him eyes to see Your love and wisdom to step away from evil, and surround him with godly influences who will speak truth with kindness. Guard him and guide him toward Your narrow path, and give our friend peace as he continues to pray. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We join you in bringing this man before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ, our only ransom and hope. We thank God with you for the cross, where the holy Son suffered for all who believe, and we praise Him that He hears when His people agree together in prayer.

We do not ask God to bless what He calls sin, nor to affirm any identity or relationship apart from His holy design. We ask Him to save and to deliver, for salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and His good plan for human life is holiness, with marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and with all sexual intimacy belonging only within that covenant. Any way that departs from that narrow path is not love as God defines love, and it leads not to life but toward the Pit.

Your prayer rightly asks for eyes to be opened to true identity in Christ. Scripture teaches that deliverance from both the guilt and the power of sin is the work of God alone. As it is written, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, I have found a ransom. Job 33:24. No one would have thought of such a ransom if God had not thought of it, and He has not only invented the way but has provided it in the gift of His Son. The same God who has delivered us from the power of darkness is able to deliver this man from the fascinating power of sin, from the control of evil company, and from every chain that now binds him.

We pray with you that the Lord in His grace would break the stony heart and give a heart of flesh, that He would grant godly fear of His holy name and understanding to depart from evil. We ask that He would graciously separate this man from ungodly influences, including those in his household, and from every relationship in which he is controlled, blackmailed, or in danger, and from the evil that entangles him. We pray that what has been meant for harm would be seen as the chastening hand of a Father who refines His children, for the Lord Himself kindles the furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door, and even sorely chastening can become profitable when it turns the soul from self and from sin to Christ.

True deliverance is by divine power alone. It is not of him that wills nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. No sympathy or persuasion of man can loose the captive heart, but Christ can. When He makes us free we are free indeed, and we are then called to live as those who have been delivered, not returning to conspicuous sin but walking in newness of life.

So we pray, Heavenly Father, be gracious unto this man and command his deliverance from going down to the Pit, for Thou hast found a ransom in Thy Son. Deliver him from the power of darkness and translate him more fully into the kingdom of Thy dear Son. Give him repentance and faith to rest wholly in Jesus for forgiveness and life, and courage to follow the narrow path in obedience. Wash him thoroughly and cleanse him from his sin, soften his heart, and teach him the depth of Thy love in Christ that he may hate the sin that once enthralled him and turn from it. Keep him from the designs of those who would use or harm him, frustrate every snare, and set his feet in a safe place among Thy people where he may be built up in truth. And grant that being delivered, he may live and declare the works of the Lord.

We will continue to remember you both before the Lord, asking Him to keep you steadfast in prayer and in a faithful witness, trusting not in our own strength but in Him who alone can save and keep.
