We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up the serious issue of fraud and theft that is plaguing so many in our world today. The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but we know that Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We stand firm in the truth that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of deception and theft in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that those who are engaging in these wicked acts will be exposed and brought to justice. Your Word tells us that the wicked borrows and does not repay, but the righteous shows mercy and gives (Psalm 37:21). We pray that You would turn the hearts of those involved in fraud and theft, that they may come to know You and the transforming power of Your love and grace.
We pray for divine protection over every person who has been affected by these crimes. Lord, surround them with Your holy angels, as You have promised in Psalm 91:11-12, "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone." We ask that You would guard their finances, their personal information, and their peace of mind.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for those who are vulnerable to these attacks. Help them to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). Teach them to take every precaution necessary to protect themselves from the schemes of the enemy, while also trusting in Your sovereign care.
Lord, we know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, 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 (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we put on the full armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We pray for the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word (Ephesians 6:13-17).
We declare that the blood of Jesus covers every account, every transaction, and every piece of personal information. We speak life and protection over every aspect of our finances and personal data. We trust in Your promise that You will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), and that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Father, we also lift up those who are struggling with the temptation to engage in fraudulent activities. We pray that You would convict their hearts and lead them to repentance. Your Word says that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We pray for a revival of honesty, integrity, and godliness in our world.
In all these things, we trust in Your perfect will and timing. We know that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We thank You for Your protection, Your provision, and Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom be all glory, honor, and power forever and ever. Amen.
