Freedom, Protection, Restoration and Healing

[Cralmilan]

Please pray that my sweet older daughter will have the courage and wisdom to release herself swiftly and completely from this toxic relationship. Let her see clearly today onward that the exhaustion, financial hardship, spiritual attacks, division, isolation and exclusion is coming from this toxic relationship. I declaring that this young man and his mother will not steal independent, self worth, her peace, her purpose, her fellowship time with her love ones or her unity with her family. Let her see how peaceful she will get from a beautiful courtship rather than living with this young man outside of marriage. Let her see her younger sister and her boyfriend beautiful courtship and know that God wants that for her as well. 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 and job with a purpose. This man’s greed, laziness, control, dishonesty 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. Let her see the spiritual attacks she and our family are under due to this relationship. 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. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

We join you in prayer for your older daughter and we agree with you that the Lord sees her struggle and hears your cry for her freedom, protection, restoration and healing. We thank you for your discernment as a mother and for speaking truth in love over her life. What you are describing is not love and it is not God's design for her. We stand with you in declaring that she belongs to the Lord and not to this young man or his family.

The Holy Spirit is clear that living together outside of marriage is not marriage and it is not courtship that honors God. It is fornication, and God calls His children to flee from it. 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. And 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. When a young woman gives herself to a man outside the covenant of marriage, she opens the door to exhaustion, financial hardship, spiritual vulnerability, division, isolation and confusion. You have rightly named these fruits, for Ephesians 4:27 warns us not to give place to the devil, and when we walk outside God's boundaries we give the enemy a foothold. This relationship as you describe it, marked by greed, laziness, control, dishonesty and manipulation, is not love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 teaches that love is patient and is kind, love does not envy, does not brag, is not conceited, does not behave itself inappropriately, does not seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. What you describe is the opposite of this love, it is using, not loving, and we rebuke that misuse of your daughter.

We also hear your concern that she has begun to idolize this young man and his mother, putting them and their counsel before her faith, her God given family and her purposeful work. The Lord says You shall have no other gods before me in Exodus 20:3, and we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers in 2 Corinthians 6:14. When counsel comes from those who guide her into an ungodly living arrangement, that counsel must be rejected. 1 Corinthians 15:33 warns Do not be deceived. Evil companionships corrupt good morals. We pray she will remember the biblical values she was raised with and return to them. Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

We love that you lifted up the beautiful courtship of your younger daughter as an example. That is God's good design, a courtship between a man and a woman who are believers, with purity and with marriage as the goal, not cohabitation. A godly courtship protects peace, purpose, fellowship and family unity, while fornication steals them. We agree with you that God wants that peaceful, honoring courtship for your older daughter as well, if it is His will for her to marry, with a man who will be a shepherd, a provider, a protector and a servant leader, not a wolf in sheep's clothing.

We pray together now for her.

Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace for this precious daughter. Lord, You say in Isaiah 41:10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. We ask that You flood her mind right now with supernatural clarity. Remove the veil of deception and let her see clearly today and onward that the exhaustion, financial hardship, spiritual attacks, division, isolation and exclusion are coming from this toxic and ungodly relationship. Give her the courage and wisdom to release herself swiftly and completely from it. Second Timothy 1:7 says For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Fill her with power to walk away.

Lord, whisper to her spirit what You have already declared, You are Mine, You are My daughter, You belong to Me, and I will protect You with every ounce of My power. Let her hear the voice of her true Shepherd. John 10:27-28 says My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. Restore to her what the enemy has tried to steal, her independence, her self worth, her peace, her purpose, her fellowship with loved ones and her unity with her family. Romans 12:2 says Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. Renew her mind, Lord, so she no longer idolizes or obeys this young man or his mother, and no longer puts them before You, her family and the calling You have given her.

Father, we ask that You gently guide her to see herself and her family through Your eyes, not through the eyes of those who exploit and control her. Break every chain of financial exploitation, manipulation and control. Protect her from every spiritual attack and let her see that this lifestyle is not a home and this arrangement is not a marriage. Lead her to move back home swiftly with no regret, with freedom and with joy. Psalm 34:17-18 says The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Heal her broken heart, Lord.

We also pray for this whole family tonight. Fill this home with Your Holy Spirit in every aspect. Saturate this mother and her children with Your peace, love, favor, protection, respect and healing. Psalm 91:1-2 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Be their refuge and fortress. Let no weapon formed against them prosper.

We thank You, Father, that You provide, protect and restore everything the enemy has tried to take. We trust You to finish this work and to bring this daughter back to freedom and to fellowship with You and with her family. We continue to stand in agreement with her mother, speaking to her mind, heart and spirit, open her eyes to see, Jesus. Bring her out of darkness into Your marvelous light.

In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

We have been praying with you for your older daughter and for your whole family. We hear the ache in your words. You love her deeply and you are carrying the weight of watching her exhausted, stretched financially, and pulled away from the family and fellowship she once knew.

We join you in asking for clear eyes and quiet courage for her. When a relationship becomes draining and controlling, it can be hard to see it from the inside. Loving boundaries can be a way to guard what God has given us to steward, our peace, our time, our resources, our ability to say yes and no freely, while still keeping the door of love open.

One steady step we have seen help parents in this place is to keep a calm, consistent connection without trying to force the decision. Brief, kind check-ins, a clear invitation that home is safe and without shame if she chooses to come, and careful limits around money or other entanglements can keep you supportive without getting pulled into the same cycle. If you have a trusted pastor or counselor, staying connected with them for your own wisdom and support can help you stay steady for the long haul.

Father, we lift this daughter to You. You know her by name and You see her heart. Give her wisdom to recognize what is not love, courage to step toward freedom, and a deep sense of being Yours and held by You. Bring protection, healing and restoration to her and to her family, and fill their home with Your peace. In Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer for your older daughter has been spread before the Lord, and we join you in earnest supplication for her freedom, protection, restoration and healing.

We do not ask God to bless what He calls away from, for we know that His way is good and His reasons are wise. He Himself kindles the furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door, and what He sends as chastening from a Father's hand He can also make profitable to the soul. There is a higher restoration than mere relief from trouble, and it is this we seek for your daughter, that she may be delivered not only from outward hardship but from the power that holds her.

We pray with you that the Lord will be gracious unto her and say, Deliver her from going down to the Pit, for I have found a ransom. Nobody would have thought of such a deliverance if God had not thought of it, yet He has invented and He has found the ransom in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, through whom alone there is salvation. None know true freedom but those who trust that atoning blood. It is the Lord alone who delivers from the guilt of sin and also from the power of sin, and from the fascinating power of darkness which would hold a soul captive. We ask that He will teach her the mischief that comes from loving the world and its ways, and keep her unspotted from the world, for pure religion is to keep oneself unspotted and to walk in charity and purity before Him.

We join you in praying that supernatural clarity may flood her mind, that her eyes may be opened to see that living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and that it cannot bear the name or the blessing of that lifelong covenant of one man and one woman which God has ordained. We pray that she will see clearly that greed, laziness, control, dishonesty and manipulation are not love, and that to be used and exploited, to be isolated from fellowship and family, to be exhausted and burdened financially and spiritually, is not the peace of a godly courtship. May the Lord show her the difference between a wolf in sheep's clothing and a shepherd, between a snare and a home, and give her courage and wisdom to release herself swiftly and completely, to walk away and to trust her God given family and to trust Him who says, You are Mine.

We pray that she will no longer idolize or obey the voice that would keep her in this ungodly manner of life, nor put any man or his family before her faith, her family and the purpose God has given her in her work. May she remember the biblical values in which she was raised, and hear the Lord whisper to her heart to return, to be restored, to be kept. May He deliver her from evil company and from every spiritual attack, from division, chaos and disrespect, and bring her back to a place of safety, we pray even to her home, with no regret but with repentance and hope.

And as the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, so we pray that the least thing that comes from Christ, even His gentlest word, may have healing virtue for her and for you all. May the Lord restore unto her the joy of His salvation, and cast her not away from His presence, nor take His Holy Spirit from her. May He restore her faith, her freedom, her self worth, her peace and her fellowship with those who love her most.

For your whole family we ask a special blessing this day and tonight. May the Lord fill you with His Holy Spirit in every aspect of your lives, and saturate you with His peace, love, favor, protection, respect and healing. May He keep back your souls from the Pit and your lives from perishing, and may you live to declare the works of the Lord. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our only hope and our ransom, Amen.
