We stand with you in this urgent cry against the wickedness of fraud and theft that seeks to harm God’s people. The enemy is indeed prowling like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), but we serve a God who is greater—a God who exposes the works of darkness and brings justice. Your prayer is right to call upon the Lord’s divine protection, for He alone is our shield and fortress.
The Word of God declares, *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9). He sees the schemes of the wicked, and He will not allow their plans to prevail against those who trust in Him. The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We must resist the devil, standing firm in our faith, knowing that he will flee from us (James 4:7).
Yet we must also examine our hearts—are we walking in wisdom? Proverbs 22:3 tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it."* We encourage you to take practical steps: secure your accounts with strong, unique passwords, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and remain vigilant against deception. But even more, we must trust in the Lord’s protection, for *"unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain"* (Psalm 127:1).
There is power in the name of Jesus—power to break every scheme of the enemy. You have rightly prayed in His name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Only through Him do we have authority over the enemy and access to the Father’s protection.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this cry against the fraud and theft that seeks to harm Your people. You are a God of justice, and we ask that You expose every hidden scheme of the enemy. Frustrate the plans of those who seek to steal, deceive, and destroy. Surround Your children with Your holy angels, creating a hedge of protection that no weapon of the enemy can penetrate. Give us wisdom to walk in discernment and to take the necessary steps to guard what You have entrusted to us.
Lord, we rebuke every spirit of fraud and theft in Jesus’ name. Let Your light shine into the darkness, bringing conviction to those who act wickedly. Turn their hearts to repentance or bring their deeds to an end. We declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we also ask for Your peace to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Let us not live in fear but in the confidence that You are our protector and provider. Strengthen our faith to trust in You completely, knowing that You are working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We trust in You, and we give You all the glory. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
