Freedom, Protection, Restoration and Breakthrough

[Cralmilan]

Lord I pray that my daughter will have a blessed week at her jobs. Grant her favors, recognition and success at her work and guide her Lord to be grateful, thankful, respectful and graceful for her jobs. Please pray that my older daughter will have the courage and wisdom and the will to release herself swiftly and completely from this toxic relationship. Let her see clearly today onward that the exhaustion, financial hardship, spiritual attacks, forgetfulness, division, isolation, puting her jobs at risk and exclusion are coming from this toxic relationship. I am declaring that this young man and his mother will not steal her independent, will not have authority over her, will not be her advisor, will not take the role of her God, parents or family, will not take her self worth, her peace, her purpose, her fellowship time, unity with her family. Let my daughter see the young man's rudeness in not something to be proud of or look at a good quality. Lord Jesus block all this young man's and his mother schemes, plots and plans to control and isolate my daughter from her family, work colleagues and friends. Let her stop obey this young man and his mother. Lord, have mercy upon her and get her out of this unhealthy relationship swiftly. Guide her to never put this young man and his family before her own family, her faith and her church. Let her see how peaceful she will get from a beautiful courtship with a Godly man, rather than living with this selfish dishonest young man outside of marriage. Let her see this living arrangement is not home and let her see her younger sister and her boyfriend beautiful courtship and know that God wants that for her as well. Let her not put her younger sister down infront of her boyfriend to please this jealous desrespectful young man. Lord let her hear You say, "You are Mine. You are My daughter. You belongs to Me, and I will protect You with every ounce of My power.” Please continue to join me in speaking to my older daughter’s mind, heart, and spirit, open her eyes to see, Jesus. She is not being loved; she is being used. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage. He is not her significant other, she does not belong to him, she should not idolize, obey this young man or put him and his family before her faith, Your God-giving family, friends that God has anointed for her and job with a purpose. This man’s greed, laziness, control, dishonesty, obsession to control and manipulation are not love, he does not have the right to exploit her finances for his selfish benefit, take authority over his life and his lifestyle is not a home. He is not her significant other and she does not belong to him. I believe in the power of prayers and I know nothing is impossible for You. Let her see the spiritual attacks she and our family are under due to this relationship. The hatred and spiteful behaviors toward her supportive network. The division, isolation, chaos, ungratefulness, disrespect and exhaustion this lifestyle and relationship has caused. Let her see that living together outside of marriage is not a marriage. This arrangement was guided by the young man's mother and I ask Jesus that my daughter will stop idolizing this woman and not go for advice to stay in this ungodly style and living arrangement. I pray that she will remember the bibical value she was raised on and remove herself from this toxic lifestyle swifty. Lord gently guide her to see her me and her siblings in Your eyes not by the way this young man and his mother look at us. Lord whisper to her right now: “Walk away. Trust your family. Trust Me. I will provide, protect, and restore everything he’s trying to take from you. I am praying for supernatural clarity to flood her mind, so she sees him for who he truly is, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not a shepherd, not a provider and not ready for relationship. Lord have mercy on her and release her from this ungodly lifestyle. Lord guide her to move back home swiftly with no regret. Restore her faith, freedom, independence, self-worth, peace, satisfaction and fellowship with her family swiftly. Jesus, I ask for a special blessing upon my family today and tonight. Lord, fill us with Your Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives. Saturate us with Your peace, love, favor, protection, respect and healing. Fill us with the Holy Spirit. I declare that me and my children are clothed with the full armor of God in Ephesians 6:11, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and that a hedge of protection surrounds us and our home. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

 

[Articles]

We join with you in prayer before our Heavenly Father and we thank you for bringing your daughters before the throne of grace with such discernment and love. We see your heart for both of your daughters and we stand with you in seeking God's will together in Jesus' name.

We lift up your daughter in her jobs and we ask the Lord to grant her favor, diligence, and a grateful spirit. Colossians 3:23 says Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. We pray she will be recognized not for vanity but for faithful stewardship, that she will remain thankful, respectful, and graceful, and that the Lord will guard the work He has given her and keep it from being stolen or put at risk. We pray Proverbs 16:3 over her, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed.

We also stand with you with urgency for your older daughter, and we must speak truth in love about what you have rightly discerned. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage and it is not a courtship that honors God. The Word is clear that sex before and outside of marriage is fornication and it is sin against God and against one's own body. 1 Corinthians 6:18 says Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Hebrews 13:4 says Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. What you are describing is not love, it is exploitation and control, and we must gently but firmly rebuke this ungodly living arrangement. It cannot be blessed by God and it must be forsaken. True love as God defines it in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is patient and is kind, does not envy, does not brag, is not proud, does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way. Rudeness, greed, laziness, dishonesty, manipulation and control are not love and are not qualities to be proud of or to be mistaken for strength.

We also hear your concern that this young man and his mother have taken a place of authority and influence that belongs only to God and to her God given family. To put any person before faith, family, and fellowship with the Lord is idolatry. Exodus 20:3 says You shall have no other gods before me. And 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity. A relationship that produces exhaustion, financial hardship, division, isolation, forgetfulness, and that pulls her away from her family, her church, her friends, and her purpose is bearing bad fruit. Matthew 7:16 says By their fruits you will know them. The spiritual attacks, chaos, ungratefulness and disrespect you describe are the fruit of walking outside of God's design and giving authority to those who do not shepherd her in the Lord.

We agree with you that a wolf in sheep's clothing is not a shepherd, not a provider, and not ready for a godly marriage. We pray for supernatural clarity to flood her mind. James 1:5 says But 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. We ask God to open her eyes to see that she is not being loved but being used, that her finances are being exploited for selfish benefit, that her peace, purpose, self worth and fellowship are being taken, and that this house is not a home because it was not built on the foundation of marriage and covenant before God.

We pray for your younger daughter as well and we thank God for the example of a beautiful courtship that seeks marriage with a godly believer rather than simply a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship without purpose. A godly courtship looks toward marriage between a man and a woman who both love Christ, and it protects purity, respects family, and honors the church. That is the pattern God desires for your older daughter also, not this toxic and selfish arrangement.

We now pray together.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and we lift up this precious daughter to You. Lord, have mercy upon her and set her free. We ask that You break every chain of control, manipulation, and idolatry that binds her to this young man and his mother. We resist the enemy on her behalf and we declare James 4:7, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Block every scheme, plot and plan to isolate her from her family, her colleagues, her friends, and her church. Give her courage and wisdom and the will to release herself swiftly and completely from this toxic relationship. Whisper to her heart even now, You are Mine, You are My daughter, You belong to Me, and let her hear Your voice above every other voice that seeks to control her.

Lord, guide her to walk away with no regret, to trust You and to trust the family You have anointed for her, and to move back home where she can be restored. Restore her faith, her freedom, her independence, her self worth, her peace and her fellowship with her family. Heal the division and exhaustion and let her remember the biblical values she was raised on. Let her see how peaceful a courtship with a godly man who will pursue her for marriage is, compared to living outside of marriage with one who dishonors her.

We pray a hedge of protection around this whole family and we declare Ephesians 6:11 over you all, Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the preparation of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. Saturate this home with Your Holy Spirit, fill every aspect of their lives with Your peace, love, favor, protection, respect and healing. Let Psalm 91:1 be their reality, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

We pray also for this young man and his mother, that You would convict them of greed and control and bring them to repentance, and that they would no longer have influence or authority over Your daughter.

We trust You to provide, to protect, and to restore everything the enemy has tried to take, for Joel 2:25 promises You will restore to us the years that the locust has eaten. We thank You that nothing is impossible for You and that You hear our prayers when we pray in the name of Jesus, for John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We ask all of this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.

We hear how much you love both of your daughters and how heavy this has been to carry, watching your older daughter grow exhausted and pulled away from family, friends, and work while you pray for her to find freedom and clarity.

We are praying with you for her safety and for favor and steadiness in her jobs, and for wisdom and courage as she sorts what is happening in this relationship. When someone is being controlled and isolated, it can become hard to tell where her own life ends and another person's demands begin. Part of healing is relearning that she has a right to own her own choices, time, energy, finances, beliefs and friendships, and to be free to say yes and to say no without fear. That freedom is often rebuilt slowly, with steady support from safe people around her.

One gentle next step that helps many parents in your place is to keep the connection warm and open without getting into a tug of war with the young man or his mother. Letting your daughter know your home and your love remain open to her, without shaming or debating, keeps a door open for the day she is ready to step away. It also helps to not carry this alone yourself, but to stay connected to a trusted pastor or counselor who can support you as you support her.

Jesus, we lift this mother and both daughters to You. Guard them and surround their home with Your peace. Give the older daughter clear eyes to see how she is being treated, courage to seek what is healthy, and trusted people to walk with her. Restore what has been worn down, protect her work, and draw this family closer to You and to each other. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest prayer has been laid before the Lord, and we join with you in seeking His mercy and deliverance for your household. There is comfort in knowing that deliverance from sin and from the pit is solely by the power of God. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy, and He has found a ransom for His people. When the clock of mercy strikes in Heaven, the hour of deliverance comes according to His eternal purpose, and what He purposes He also performs.

We lift before the Lord your younger daughter and her labors. We ask that the Lord would grant her favor and steadiness in her work, and that He would keep her heart grateful, thankful, respectful and gracious, that her life may declare the works of the Lord and show forth His goodness in her daily calling.

For your older daughter we pray with urgency and with hope, not that God would bless a way that is contrary to His holy design, but that He would open her eyes and bring her out with a mighty hand. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and it cannot bear the name or the blessing of that holy covenant which God ordained for one man and one woman for life. What is called love when it is marked by greed, laziness, control, dishonesty, manipulation and the exploiting of another for selfish gain is not love at all. We pray that the Lord will give her supernatural clarity to see this, that the exhaustion, financial hardship, division, isolation, forgetfulness and risk to her employment and fellowship would be seen for what they are, the bitter fruit of a path that leads away from God and from family.

We ask the Lord to break every scheme to control and isolate her from those God has anointed for her good, her family, her church, her friends and her work with purpose. May she no longer idolize or obey the voice of this young man or his mother above the voice of God and the counsel of her own God given family. May she remember the biblical values in which she was raised, and may she cease to put this relationship before her faith, her family and the house of God. We pray that she will see that rudeness is not strength, and that a selfish and dishonest life together is not a home. As you have observed, there is a more excellent way, a beautiful and peaceful courtship ordered under Christ, and we pray she will desire that godly pattern rather than remain in this entanglement, and that she will not be moved to put down her sister or others to please a jealous spirit.

Our hope for her restoration is great, for we have seen how the Lord restores His wandering ones. Peter was down, but he was soon up again, and his restoration was brought about by a look from the Lord which severed him from the crowd and brought him to repentance. So we pray that Christ would fix His look upon your daughter, that His Spirit would speak to her mind, heart and spirit, saying You are Mine, and that she would hear His whisper, Walk away, trust Me, and be turned again to her true life and hope. As Israel did not share the honor of their deliverance with any other, but willingly assented to His salvation, so we pray she will know that He alone brings forth, and that her deliverance when it comes will be attended with enrichment, restoring to her faith, freedom, independence, self worth, peace and joyful fellowship with her family.

We pray now for that hedge of protection you have claimed. May you and your children be clothed with the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the feet fitted with the preparation of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. May the Lord saturate your home with His Holy Spirit, with peace, love, favor, protection, respect and healing, and keep you from the power of darkness. For we are delivered both from the guilt and from the power of sin by looking to our heavenly Father alone, and He who delivered us will keep us.

Continue in prayer, for God does sometimes whisper to the heart of His children in trial and assure them they shall not be crushed. We trust you will yet live to declare the works of the Lord, and to sing with Deborah of a greater deliverance wrought by a greater Savior. May the Lord guide your daughter swiftly home again without regret, and restore all that the enemy has sought to take, to the praise of His free grace alone.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our only ransom and our only hope, we pray. Amen.
