Family Protection

[Cralmilan]

Jesus, I'm lifting up my family before the throne of grace, where our Lord hears the cries of His children. My heart is heavy with concern, and I am pleading the precious blood of Jesus over every member of my household. Lord You see the isolation, ungratefulness and desrespect that has been happening the past few weeks toward my me and my son. Lord I pray tonight that You will step in and fight this battle for me and my son. Speak to my older daughter about her action and luring my younger daughter to go along with this. Lord You see how this is hurtful for me and harmful for my son. Protect us and guide my younger daughter to not fall into this destruction events and plots his young man has instigate. Lord, I pray that You protect my son and me from all these spiritual attacks that are manifesting. I pray that everyone will see this young mans' controlling and degrading ways. Lord protect me and my family from division and isolation, chaos, gossiping, mocking that are manifesting these past few days. Lord I ask that You heal my son from the confusion and spiritual attacks he is under. I know nothing is impossible for You. I am pleading for Your Divine protection. Lord, I ask for complete restoration, respect, gratefulness and fellowship in my family and for all negative influences, division, isolation, jealousy and all spiritual attacks to be permanently removed forever. No weapon formed against me and my family shall prosper, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Father, I come before You with hearts grieved by the spiritual warfare, division, isolation and stubborn hold raging against me and my children. Lord, it is overwhelming and I ask that You completely remove this young man and his mother from my older daughter's life. Lord please remove the strong stubborn hold these people has upon my older daughter today. I rebuke every spirit of division, ungratefulness, hatred, manipulation, control, isolation, exhaustion, word curse,isolation, division, and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate my home. I declare complete freedom and restoration for me and my children. I ask Jesus for Your mercy upon my family and remove this young man and his mother completely for my older daughter's life swiftly as they are trying to divide me and my younger daughter they have started to convince my younger daughter move. Lord, I know nothing is impossible for You. And I ask You remove these destructive people. They have caused exhaustion, financial hardship, worthlessness and separation in my older daughter's life and havoc in our family. Lord I ask for every generational curse, word curse, witchcraft and negative influences to break and flee in the mighty name of Jesus. Guide my older daughter to release this man from her life, let her not ignore the destruction, financial exploitation, worthlessness, mood swings and exhaustion he has caused in her life and I pray that she will be truthful to the desrespect, isolation, division he has caused in her life. The blood of Jesus has already overcome every power of darkness, and I stand on that victory (Colossians 2:15). I declare that the peace and unity of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard the hearts and minds of my family forever(Philippians 4:7). Lord, help my daughter out of this ungodly relationship that dishonors You. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage, and it has opens the door to spiritual bondage, attacks and deception (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Jesus, give clarity to my older daughter that this man is selfish and he is not ready for a relationship, he is not her significant other, he is not her responsibility to take care of, and she does not belong to him. She belong to You, Lord. I ask Lord that You guide her back home swiftly with no regret only a feeling of freedom, safe, joy, and satisfaction. I pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of Your Word and the red flags she has been blinded to. Remove the stubbornness that has taken root in her heart and replace it with a hunger for righteousness and the want to move back. Break the hold this man and his family have over her, and reveal to her the toxicity and exploitation of this relationship. Father, I ask that You would frustrate every plan, plot, or scheme of these people to isolate, divide, and destroy my daughter from our family and turn her heart back to You and to those who love her unconditionally (Malachi 4:6). Lord, open my older daughter's heart and mind. Remind her of the value she was raised with and the love of our family. Jesus, remove all pride, shame, or pressure that keeps her from seeing the truth. Guide her away, Lord, from this living in situations that will harm her future and her purpose. Jesus, lead her away from this ungodly living arrangement, and bring her back home to safety, stability, and wisdom. Jesus, guide her to never obey this man and put him and his family before her faith, her parent, her siblings, and extended families. This young man and his mother's behavior to cause division, isolation, chaos and strife has been manifesting, and I ask Lord for Your divine protection, courage, and strength to keep our fellowship and bond as a family. Jesus, guide my daughter to stop taking on undue responsibilities to take care of this man, let her see he is not ready for a marriage. Give her the wisdom to stop defending and giving a false image of him to others. He is heartless toward her and is a very selfish, lazy, dishonest and rebellious man. Please Lord, save her and have mercy upon her, get her out of this toxic relationship with this man swiftly. Lord, frustrate all his plans right now. I also lift up my younger daughter, praying that she would remain steadfast in her faith and not be swayed by the ungodly example set before her. Protect her heart as this man and his mother damage the sweetest bond she has with her older sister and brother. Protect her from the divisive tactics of this man and his mother, and surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord. May she never see living together outside of marriage as an acceptable path, but instead, may she seek a spouse who honors You and values the sanctity of marriage (2 Corinthians 6:14). May she never be ungrateful toward me and hateful toward her brother. Jesus, I ask for Your protection over and around her from this man and his mother and strengthen our family's fellowship and unity. Father, I pray for my son with disabilities, that he would be surrounded by love, acceptance, and protection. May he never feel like a burden or an embarrassment, but rather a blessing, as he truly is. Protect him from the hatred, mockery, isolation, divisiveness, exclusion, word curses and witchcraft that stem from this young man's mother and any other negative influences. I rebuke all spiritual attacks, Lord I ask that You command them to flee and never return to torment him. Saturate him with Your peace and protection always. Strengthen his relationship with me, his sisters, caregivers and our extended families. Remove from his life any friendships or influences that look down on him, and replace them with those who will uplift and cherish him. Bless him with peace, joy, love, satisfaction, and the knowledge of Your unconditional love for him. Jesus, protect him from the hateful and demeaning way this young man's mother looks at him. Block all her word curses upon his life. I declare that my home will be a sanctuary of God’s presence, where love, unity, and peace reign. I pray for the restoration of the relationships that have been strained and broken by the enemy’s schemes. Father, mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore what has been lost. May my family be a beacon of Your light, drawing others to the love and grace found only in You. Restore our peace, unconditional love, joy and happiness again. Lord, I ask for financial blessings to flow into my home, not for selfish gain, but so that my family may be a blessing to others and a testimony of Your provision. I rebuke every spirit of lack and poverty, and I declare that my family will walk in the abundance of Your blessings (Philippians 4:19). I pray for godly spouses for both of my daughters, men who will love them as Christ loves the church, who will lead them in righteousness, and who will honor the covenant of marriage as You intended (Ephesians 5:25) someone who will respect their upbringings. May my daughter seek husbands who walk in Your ways, rather than being drawn to those who would lead them astray. Father, I ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. Remove the ungodly influences from my family’s life, and replace them with godly mentors, friendships, and relationships that will draw us closer to You. I pray for the complete restoration of my older daughter’s heart, that she would turn away from this toxic relationship and return to the safety and love of her family, swiftly. May she rediscover her worth in You and reject the lies that have been spoken over her. Jesus, guard her future. Protect her credit, her finances, her relationship with me, her siblings, family, her faith, and her reputation so that nothing done in this toxic relationship will cause resentment/hate toward our supportive family and destroy what she has worked so hard to build. Father, I also bring this young man's mother before You. She is acting like my daughter's mother and interfering in ways that harm my daughter, please stop that ungodly selfish influence. She encourages my daughter to take care of her son because she does not want to deal with his rebellious behavior. I pray that You correct this situation. Lead this young man's mother to take of her responsibility for guiding and correcting her own son rather than placing that burden and undue responsibilities on my daughter which place financial hardship on her and our family because we have to help her. My daughter has incurred a lot of debt since she moved in with this young man which was initiated by this young man's mother. Lord, remove all the pride, manipulation, look down upon, and harmful words that make my daughter feel small, ashamed, or feel that my daughter has to play as if she has to be dependent on them or put our family down to make his mother feel good about guiding her. Jesus, teach this mother that my daughter is not homeless and that she has a supportive family and that my daughter needs her guidance or her approval. Father, I am concerned for my daughter's health. She already struggles with breathing, and this young man continues habits like smoking that make it worse. Jesus, protect her health and open her eyes to the harm this environment may be causing her health and open her eyes to the harm this environment may be causing her physically. Jesus, I pray that my daughter will not move deeper into this ungodly situation or become more dependent on them. Instead, lead her away from this unhealthy environment and guide her back to a place of stability, safety, love, and wisdom. Bring her back home where she can rebuild her strength, her health, and her future. Father, stop the division that has been created between my daughter and our family due to this young man's rebellious controlling behaviors. Lord, heal the hurt and restore love, communication, love, and respect. Lord, please protect me and my other children from the bullying, judgment, division, and hurtful words that have come from this situation. Give peace and strength while Your work in ways only You can, Lord. Jesus, I ask for strength for myself and for my other children. Heal the hurt we feel in this troubling situation. Saturate us with peace in our heart and protect our family division. Jesus, bless my daughter back to a path that will bless her life rather than destroy it. I declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand. Every scheme to divide, isolate, and destroy my family will fail, for the Lord fights for us (Exodus 14:14). I plead the blood of Jesus over every member of my household, covering us with Your protection, peace, and favor. May we walk in the fullness of Your blessings, and may our lives reflect Your glory to all who know us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

 

[Articles]

We hear the heaviness of your heart as you lift your family before the throne of grace and we join with you in Jesus name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. We thank you for pleading the precious blood of Jesus over your household and for standing in the gap for your children, and we stand with you now. For we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12, and we take comfort 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.

We grieve with you over the isolation, ungratefulness, disrespect, gossip, mocking, division and chaos that has entered your home, and over the hurt this has caused you and your son. We also hear your concern for your older daughter and we must speak truth in love about what you have shared. You have rightly discerned that her living together outside of marriage with this young man is not pleasing to God. Scripture is clear that we are to flee sexual immorality and that every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, and that our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in us, whom we have from God 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, and that marriage is to be held in honor among all, and its bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral Hebrews 13:4. What the world calls a boyfriend or living together is fornication before God and it opens the door to spiritual bondage, deception, financial exploitation, and deep confusion, and it dishonors the sanctity of marriage which God intended as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. A relationship that is not a courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ who will love as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25 is not a godly relationship. We also hear your discernment about this young man and his mother and their controlling, degrading, manipulative, lazy and selfish ways, and how they have placed undue responsibility and financial hardship upon your daughter, encouraged debt, caused exhaustion and worthlessness, and sought to isolate her from you and your family. We agree with you that this is not love and not the pattern of a man ready for marriage or for leading a family in righteousness, and we pray that your daughter will see these red flags clearly and understand she does not belong to this man, she belongs to the Lord.

We also lift up your younger daughter with you. We pray that the Lord will guard her heart and keep her from being lured into this same destructive path or into a spirit of ungratefulness and hatred toward you and her brother. We pray she will not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14 but will desire a godly spouse who honors God and the covenant of marriage, and that the Lord will surround her with godly friendships and mentors who encourage her in the ways of the Lord. We pray the sweet bond between the siblings will be protected and not damaged by these divisive tactics.

We lift up your precious son with disabilities, and we declare over him that he is fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14 and that he is a blessing and not a burden. We rebuke every word curse, mockery, look of hatred, exclusion, and spiritual attack that has come against him from this young man, his mother, or any other negative influence, and we ask the Lord to command those attacks to flee and never return. We pray the Lord will saturate him with peace and protection, strengthen his relationship with you, his sisters, caregivers and extended family, and replace any friendships that look down on him with those who will cherish and uplift him.

We join you in rebuking every spirit of division, control, manipulation, jealousy, exhaustion, strife, and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate your home, knowing that He disarmed the principalities and the powers, making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them Colossians 2:15. We do not wrestle against people, but we do ask the Lord to frustrate every plan and scheme to divide and isolate your family and to turn the heart of your older daughter back to the Lord and to those who love her unconditionally, for He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers Malachi 4:6. We pray the Lord will remove the stubborn hold this young man and his mother have upon your daughter, remove pride, shame and pressure, and replace stubbornness with a hunger for righteousness and a desire to return to safety, stability and wisdom under your roof. We pray He will protect her health, including her breathing, and open her eyes to the harm of this environment including smoking, and protect her finances, credit, reputation, and future from further exploitation. We pray He will teach this young man's mother to take responsibility for correcting her own son rather than placing that burden on your daughter.

We pray together now, Father in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before Your throne of grace and plead the blood of Jesus over this mother, her son, and both daughters and over their home. Lord, fight this battle for them, for You have said You will fight for us and we shall be still Exodus 14:14. Let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and their thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, restore respect, gratefulness, fellowship, unconditional love and joy, and make this home a sanctuary of Your presence where unity dwells, for how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity Psalm 133:1. Break every generational curse, word curse and negative influence in Jesus name, and let Your provision flow according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, not for selfish gain but to make this family a blessing to others. Give this mother strength and courage, let her not grow weary in doing good Galatians 6:9, and give her wisdom to speak truth in love Ephesians 4:15, to maintain godly boundaries, to not enable further financial harm, and to continue to call her daughter to honor her father and mother Exodus 20:12 while walking in grace. We ask for godly spouses for both daughters in Your timing, men who walk in Your ways and will honor marriage as You intended, and for complete restoration and permanent removal of all division, isolation and spiritual attacks. We trust that nothing is impossible for You and we thank You that You hear the cries of Your children Hebrews 4:16, for 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 no one comes to the Father except through Jesus John 14:6. We declare this victory in the name of Jesus, amen.

Thank you for sharing so honestly about what your family is walking through. We hear how heavy and exhausting this has been for you, especially the disrespect and isolation you and your son have felt, and your deep love and concern for both daughters.

Carrying so much worry for your older daughter while also trying to protect your younger daughter and your son is a lot for one heart to hold. It makes sense you feel torn between wanting to keep the door open in love and needing to protect your home from division and hurt.

One thing that has helped many parents in painful situations like this is thinking about boundaries as a kind of property line. They help clarify what is yours to carry and what is not, so you can stay connected without taking on responsibility for another adult's choices. That can look like deciding calmly ahead of time what you will and will not do around finances, time together, and how people speak to one another in your home, and then letting your yes be yes and your no be no with kindness. Having a trusted pastor or counselor walk with you as you set those lines, and surrounding your younger daughter and your son with steady, godly relationships, can make it easier to stay consistent and not carry this alone.

We also noticed your concern for your daughter's breathing in an environment with smoking. Alongside prayer, we encourage you to encourage her to see a medical professional for that concern.

Father, we lift this mother and her children to You in Jesus' name. Bring protection and peace to this home, guard each heart from confusion and hurt, and give this mom wisdom, strength and rest as she loves her family. Lead each child toward what is safe and good, and restore fellowship and respect in this family according to Your will. Amen.

Your cry has ascended to the throne of grace and the Lord has heard the heaviness of your heart for your household. There is much in your prayer that shows you understand both the sorrow of this present trial and the only true remedy for it.

Let it never be forgotten that in all that God does He acts from good reasons, and even when affliction comes distinctly through the hands of men, it still passes through the hand of a Father. Troubles do not spring out of the dust, but the Lord Himself kindles the furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door. That which we receive from the rod of the Lord bears the blessed aspect of chastening from a father's hand, and this makes even the sharpest smart to be profitable. You will wisely moderate your anger against second causes when you see that the Lord permits this trial for your good and for the good of your children, to draw you nearer to Christ and to show His power to deliver.

You have pleaded the precious blood of Jesus, and therein is your hope. The word of the Lord is, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, I have found a ransom. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance of a sinner from the pit through a ransom if God had not thought of it. He has not only invented the way, but He has found the ransom Himself, a gift of Divine Love in His Son. The blood of Jesus has already overcome every power of darkness, as it is written, having spoiled principalities and powers He made a show of them openly. Your confidence is well placed, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, and salvation is through Jesus Christ alone.

You are right to grieve over what dishonors the Lord. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and Scripture calls us to flee fornication, for the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and we are to glorify God therein. Such a course opens the door to spiritual bondage and deception, and it cannot be blessed of God. What God has ordained is marriage, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, in which alone such union belongs, and in which a man is to love his wife as Christ loves the church. We cannot ask God to bless what His Word calls us to turn from, but we can and do ask Him to grant repentance, clarity and deliverance.

Hear the voice of the Lord to every wandering heart, Turn you, turn you from your evil ways, for why will you die. You can turn from outward sins, but to be turned from evil nature and stubbornness of heart you will need a stronger arm than your own. Deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and we must look to our heavenly Father altogether and alone for it. Cry unto the Most High to keep you and yours from iniquity, for unless God shall keep you, how can you keep yourself from the ways of this ungodly generation.

I will pray with you after this manner.

O Lord our God, in whom is the salvation of Your people, look upon this mother and her children. You see the division, the isolation, the disrespect and mocking, the confusion and exhaustion that have come into this home. You see the hurt borne by a son who is dear to You and who must never be made to feel a burden, for he is fearfully and wonderfully made and beloved in Christ. Surround him with Your peace, silence every cruel word and curse spoken against him, and let him know his worth in Your unconditional love. Set a guard about his heart and his home.

Have mercy upon the older daughter. Break the stubborn hold that binds her and open her eyes to see this ungodly living arrangement as You see it. Remove pride, shame and pressure that keep her from truth. Show her the selfishness and unfitness of a man who would draw her from her family and her faith and lay upon her undue burdens, financial hardship and spiritual weariness. Frustrate every plan that would isolate and divide her from those who love her. Grant her a hunger for righteousness, a willingness to turn from this path, and if it be Your will, bring her back to safety and stability where she may be restored in health, in wisdom and in fellowship with You. Let her know she belongs to You, Lord, and teach her to seek a godly husband who will honor the covenant of marriage if she is to marry, rather than one who leads her astray.

Keep the younger daughter steadfast. Protect her from being lured into the same snare. Deliver her from ungratefulness and hatred toward her mother and brother, and surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord, that she may never esteem living together outside of marriage as acceptable, but may honor Your Word.

Restore, O Lord, what has been torn. You are able to raise Your people from great troubles as surely as You will raise them from the dead. You delight to work the work of our deliverance, and that deliverance comes through redemption. Deliver this family from going down to the pit. Deliver them from the fascinating power of sin and from the power of darkness. Heal what has been wounded, mend what has been divided, and let Your peace which passes all understanding guard hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory, not for selfish gain but that they may be a testimony of Your provision and a blessing to others. Let this home be a sanctuary where love, unity and truth reign, and where after affliction Your people shall say, I shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord.

We ask not for the blessing of what dishonors You, but for turning, for cleansing, for restoration to Yourself and to one another, through Jesus Christ our only hope. Amen.
