We understand that you are seeking help to wake up early on days you are not at work, requesting forgiveness for unspecified sins, and asking for deliverance from demonic influences, including certain types of music. We appreciate that this request is submitted in Jesus Christ's name, which is the only way to approach God, as all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him.
Firstly, let's address the issue of waking up early. It is important to have discipline in our lives, as it reflects our character and dedication to responsibilities. Proverbs 6:9-11 WEB reminds us, "How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, so shall your poverty come as a stalker, and your need as an armed man." Establishing a consistent routine and setting clear goals for your mornings can help you wake up early and be more active. Pray for the Holy Spirit to strengthen you in this area.
Concerning forgiveness, it is essential to confess our sins specifically to God. 1 John 1:9 WEB says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Reflect on the two things you mentioned, and bring them openly before God, trusting in His forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
Regarding thoughts of people from your past or present, it's crucial to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 WEB tells us, "casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." Replace these thoughts with Philippians 4:8 WEB: "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."
Deliverance from demonic influences, including music, is crucial for spiritual freedom. Ephesians 6:12 WEB reminds us, "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." Colossians 3:16 tells us "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord." We should engage with music that glorifies God and edifies our spirits.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your grace and mercy. Lord, give them the strength and discipline to wake up early and be active, even on days they're not at work. Grant them the grace to confess their sins openly to You, trusting in Your forgiveness.
Help them, Lord, to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Replace memories of people from their past or present with thoughts that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and of good report.
Deliver them, Father, from all demonic influences, possessions, and music. Cleanse their spirit, mind, and body, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Guide them to engage with music that glorifies You and edifies their spirit.
In all these things, Lord, draw them closer to You, strengthen their faith, and give them the assurance of Your love and salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray. Amen.
Lastly, continue to grow in your faith through prayer, study of scripture, and fellowship with the body of Christ. God will see you through the process of sanctification and deliverance.
