We join you in prayer and we thank you for your strong faith and for the legacy of your grandmother's prayers which the Lord hears and honors, and we stand with you now seeking deliverance and reconciliation for you and your whole family in the name of Jesus Christ through whom we have access to the Father.
We rejoice that you desire the spirit of discernment and to be reconciled to God, for this is the heart of the gospel. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:5 And we are reconciled through Christ alone, for all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:18 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 We praise God that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
We pray with you about the burden you carry that your sins have impacted your family. We gently remind you that while sin does have consequences in our homes, when we confess and repent God is faithful to forgive and to break those chains. 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 And as you repent from all evil ways, God promises to draw near to you as you draw near to Him. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8 We pray against the double-mindedness you mentioned, for a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8 We ask the Lord to give you a single mind fixed on Christ and His truth.
We also hear your desire to claim your natural birth rights including being straight and to be free from confusion. We affirm with you what Scripture teaches, that God created us male and female in His image and that His design for sexual intimacy is within the covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. So God created man in his own image. Genesis 1:27 Such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11 Whatever struggle or temptation has come against you, we pray that you will walk in the new identity Christ gives, with purity and wholeness, and that any spirit of confusion or same sex attraction will be brought under the lordship of Jesus.
We bring your dear mother before the Lord for healing of her diabetes and for soothing of her emotional and physical pain. We pray that God will be her healer and comforter, for he heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3 and The Lord will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. Psalm 41:3 We ask for strength and peace for her daily.
We lift up your father that he would be empowered and encouraged by the Word of God as he continues to preach. We pray he will preach the word with boldness and faithfulness. Preach the word. Be urgent in season and out of season. 2 Timothy 4:2 May the Lord strengthen him and anoint his ministry.
We pray for your siblings. For your little brother who has deployed to serve, we ask for divine protection and guidance, that no harm will overtake him and that God will be his refuge. Haven't I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid. Don't be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1 For your older sister we pray she will be enriched with the Spirit of Christ, that she will grow in grace and knowledge of Him. And for your older brother we pray earnestly that he will turn from his wrong ways, for God desires that all should come to repentance. The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 We pray for mental clarity, financial literacy and tranquility for both, and for you as well, that you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2 And that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19
We remember your childhood trauma that still haunts you. We pray the Lord will heal those deep wounds, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18 We ask Him to replace haunting memories with His perfect peace, for you will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3
We join you in praying against vain thoughts, malicious intents, folly, narcissism, procrastination, substance abuse, compulsive spending and deceitfulness. These are works of the flesh that need to be repented of and put off. We must bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 We must do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others better than ourselves. Philippians 2:3 We must not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 and know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19 We must put away lying and speak truth. Ephesians 4:25 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord. Colossians 3:23 We pray God will give you stewardship over your finances and deliver you fully from compulsive spending and substance abuse as you walk in self control, which is fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23
We pray for your loyal dog and that you will do right by her, for a righteous man respects the life of his animal. Proverbs 12:10 May God give you wisdom to care for her well.
We pray against every demonic spirit and influence over you and your family. We claim the promise that when we submit to God and resist the devil, he will flee from us. James 4:7 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Ephesians 6:11 We pray that every demonic spirit will be eradicated and that your life and the lives of your family will be fully devoted and turned over to God, thriving in Christ.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, Great I AM, King of kings and Lord of lords, Elohim, Yahweh, El Shaddai, Alpha and Omega, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We ask for deliverance for our brother and his family. Wash him in the blood of Jesus, forgive his sins, reconcile him fully to Yourself and give him the spirit of wisdom and discernment. Heal his mother, strengthen his father to preach Your Word with power, protect his deployed brother, draw his sister closer to Christ, bring his older brother to repentance, grant them all mental clarity, financial wisdom, peace and tranquility. Heal childhood trauma, break the power of vain thoughts, narcissism, procrastination, substance abuse, compulsive spending and deceit, and set him free from every demonic oppression. Establish him in his God given identity, free from double-mindedness, walking in purity and holiness. Let his entire household be devoted to You and let Your will be done in them. We believe and receive this in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
