Freedom, Restoration, Protection and Breakthrough

[Cralmilan]

Lord I pray that my daughter will have a safe round trip to her work conference this week. Lord he is so obsessive and insecure that he will not allow her to attend this conference by herself. My older daughter is following this young man advice about work. He is making her not appreciating her work. She is now taking about quiting her job. Jesus, I pray for my daughter to release herself completely from this very toxic relationship with this young man swiftly with no regrets. Let her see clearly that she belong to You and not this Young man. Lord remind her that she needs to honor her parents not this young man and his family. Lord, I pray that she will see clearly that living together outside of marriage is not a marriage and for her to stop treating this arrangement as a marriage and an obligation to obey him. Lord my older daughter is being influenced by this young man's mother who encouraged them to live together outside of marriage. His mother knows of his negative behaviors but has but that bondage upon my daughter to fix and the same time his mother is enabling her sons' negative behavior toward others. Lord, my older daughter is going down a dark path with this young man and she thinks it is love. I pray that she will be truthful of the toxicity and the false hope of this relationship. I pray that her friends will speak up as they see clearly how this young man has taken her kindness for granted, his exploitation, his manipulation, his dishonesty, his division, his isolation and his disrespect toward her. Lord I know nothing is impossible for You. My daughter is ignoring all the red flags and giving up her independent and self worth. Lord let her see from now onward that living together outside of marriage is not Your will for her life. This young man is rebellous, dishonest, controlling and lazy, I ask Lord that You speak to his mother to let her know he is her responsiblity and for her to stop putting undue responsiblity upon my daughter and giving ungodly selfish advice. Jesus I ask that You protect my older daughter from this young man's ungodly selfish, disrespectful and jealous advice and lifestyle. I ask You Lord to guide my daughter out of this ungodly lifestyle and have her move back home swiftly with no regrets but only a feeling of restoring her self-worth, her respect for others, independence, and freedom in You, Lord and the unconditional love of her family you have blessed her with. I declare that this young man and his mother will not steal her peace, her purpose, or her love and unity with her family. Completely remove the stubborn ungodly hold they have upon her swiftly. Lord I ask for protection for me and my family from the disrespect and strife from this young man. Lord, speak to my daughter, let her hear Your words, “You are Mine. You are My daughter. You belong to Me, and I will protect You with every ounce of My power from this ungodly relationship with this young man.” Please continue to join me in speaking to my older daughter’s mind, heart, and spirit, open her eyes, dear Jesus to all the red flags and not to make excuses for this young man anymore. Jesus let her know, 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 should not idolize and obey this young man anymore or put him and his family before her God-giving family, her faith and jobs with a purpose. Her finances are not his to manage, budget or spend, and I pray his father will intervene with authority and have him return home alone swiftly. He is dishonest, selfish, disrespectful and not ready for a relationship. This man’s greed and manipulation are not love; he does not have the right to exploit her finances for his selfish benefit and control. He and his mother should not be able to instigate havoc, disrespect, division, isolation in our family, and his lifestyle is not a home for my daughter. Show him Lord that he is not ready for a relationship. Jesus help my daughter to not change the way she was raised to please this young man and his mother. Show my daughter this is a dark path she is taking with this young man and show her that being ungrateful toward her family is not the biblical teaching she was raised to follow. Block her Lord from confiding in his mother and saying this that pleases this woman's ears. Let my daughter stop trying to prove to her that our family does not matter. Lord guide my daughter to stop giving up her self worth just to get this woman's approval. Show her Lord, that disowning her family that God blessed her with just to please this young man is not Your will for her life. Let her see the spiritual attacks she and our family are under because of this ungodly relationship. The division, isolation, chaos, ungratefulness, disrespect, and exhaustion this lifestyle and relationship has caused. Lord remove the stubborn hold these people have on her and let her not want to live this lifestyle anymore. Lord whisper to her right now: “Walk away. You do not belong to this young man and his family, You don't have to obey these people, Trust and respect 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. Lord teach this young man’s mother to stop putting undue responsibilities upon my daughter and for her to stop overstepping her boundaries. It is overwhelming, Jesus, please block these people's disrespect. She is not her mother and her to have her son move back home alone. He is not ready for a relationship. I ask Lord that his father will see the destruction he has caused in my daughter's life, let him take authority, guide his son to move back home alone swiftly. Let him have his wife focus on fixing only her children and stop the manipulation and brainwashing behaviors toward my daughter. Speak to her firmly, Lord, that my daughter is not homeless, that You have anointed a family for her Lord and block her from guiding my daughter down a dark path and to be disobedient to her parents and disown her siblings and supportive network of extended family and friends. I know with my daughter's recent promotion that God has blessed her with this lazy young man is already spending it his way and it's starting to put her on a budget that benefits him. Please Jesus, block my daughter from listening to the young man's mother and help my daughter to stop enabling him to control her, show her Lord this is not security or love, it is exploitation. Lord guide my daughter to move back home swiftly with no regret. Restore her freedom, independence, self-worth, freedom, gratefulness for her family, and satisfaction swiftly. Jesus, guide me as I navigate the difficult situation. I ask that Your presence will go in front of me as a shield from all the attacks and disrespect that I experience from following the biblical teachings against this ungodly life. Bless me Lord with supernatural strength to overcome all obstacles I face with Your courage, grace, favor, protection, and strength. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over me and my children. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. I ask for know nothing is impossible for You, Lord. I believe in the power of prayers and I put all my faith and trust in You. Jesus, I ask for a special blessing upon my family today. Lord, fill us with Your Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives. Saturate us with Your peace, love, favor, protection, and healing. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

We join with you in prayer for your older daughter and for your whole family, and we hear the heavy burden you are carrying for her. We stand with you before the throne of grace in Jesus' name, asking for freedom, restoration, protection and breakthrough, and we thank you for bringing this before the Lord so faithfully. We lift up her safe travel to and from her work conference this week and ask the Lord to be her shield and keeper on every mile.

We see clearly what you have described and we must speak truth in love about it. What you are seeing is not biblical love but control, manipulation, isolation and exploitation. True love does not isolate, demean, or take kindness for granted, and it does not seek to control finances or cause division in a family. We are reminded that bad company corrupts good morals in 1 Corinthians 15:33 and that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers in 2 Corinthians 6:14. A young man who is obsessive, insecure, dishonest, rebellious, controlling and lazy is not demonstrating the character of a godly husband, and a courtship that leads toward marriage should be between two Christian believers with the goal of honoring God, not a boyfriend who demands obedience as if he were already a husband. He has no biblical authority over your daughter.

We must also address with love and firmness what you have named so honestly, that your daughter is living together outside of marriage and treating this arrangement as if it were marriage. The Bible is clear that this is fornication and it is not God's will for her life. We are told to flee sexual immorality in 1 Corinthians 6:18 and that every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers in Hebrews 13:4 and let it not even be mentioned among you as becomes saints in Ephesians 5:3. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, it does not create a covenant obligation to obey him, and it places her under spiritual attack, confusion and shame. We pray she will see this clearly and turn from it completely. We also agree with you that a mother who encourages her son and your daughter to live together outside of marriage is giving ungodly and selfish counsel, and she is enabling her son's negative behavior rather than correcting him. This is not love that builds up.

We also hear your heart about honor for family. Your daughter was raised to honor her parents and to value the family God gave her, and it grieves the Lord when she puts this young man and his family before God and before the family He blessed her with. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right in Ephesians 6:1 and Honor your father and mother in Exodus 20:12. Her finances are not his to manage, budget or spend, and his greed and manipulation are not love. We also agree that her work is a gift from God and we pray she will not be persuaded to despise it or to quit her job under his ungodly influence, but will steward the promotion God has given her with wisdom.

So we pray together now. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You for this precious daughter. We plead the blood of Jesus over her and over her mother and family. We ask that no weapon that is formed against them will prosper in Isaiah 54:17 and that You will give Your angels charge over her to guard her in all her ways in Psalm 91:11 and that You will keep her going out and coming in in Psalm 121:8 as she travels to this conference and returns home safely. Lord, flood her mind with supernatural clarity. Remove the spiritual blindness and the excuses she has made for this young man. Let her see him for who he truly is and understand that she is being used, not loved, and that this is a wolf in sheep's clothing, not a shepherd. Teach her that she belongs to You, that she is fearfully and wonderfully made in Psalm 139:14, and that her worth and identity are in Christ alone. We ask You to break the stubborn ungodly hold this young man and his mother have upon her, to break every chain of control, isolation, division, deception and exploitation, and to deliver her swiftly with no regrets. We pray You will turn her heart back to You and to her family, restore her self-worth, her independence, her gratefulness, her respect for others and her freedom in You. Guide her to walk away from this ungodly lifestyle, to end the fornication, to separate herself, and to move back home where she is safe, loved and supported, and to do so with peace and restoration.

We pray for godly friends around her to speak up in truth and love and not remain silent, and for Your Holy Spirit to whisper to her heart, You are Mine, You are My daughter, You belong to Me, and I will protect You and restore everything the enemy has tried to take from you. We pray for this young man and his mother, that You will convict them, that his father will rise up with godly authority and call his son to accountability and to return home alone, and that his mother will stop putting undue responsibility on your daughter, stop overstepping her boundaries, and stop guiding her down a dark path. We ask You to block the disrespect, strife, division and chaos that has come against this family, and we pray against the spiritual attacks that have brought exhaustion and ungratefulness. We pray for this daughter's job, that she will not quit under manipulation but will use her gifts for Your glory.

We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word, to continue to speak truth without compromising biblical teaching, to set healthy boundaries with love, and to seek wise godly counsel from your pastor and church family for support and accountability. Trust in the Lord 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 in Proverbs 3:5-6. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind in Romans 12:2. We know nothing is impossible for You, Lord, and we trust that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask. Fill this family afresh with Your Holy Spirit, with Your peace, love, favor, protection and healing, and give this mother supernatural strength, courage and grace as she navigates this difficult season. We declare that this young man and his mother will not steal her peace, her purpose, or her love and unity with her family. We ask all of this in the only name by which we have access to God and by which we are saved, the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12, and it is through Him we are reconciled to You. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We hear how heavy and exhausting this season has been for you, watching your older daughter drift from her work, her confidence and her closeness with family while you try to keep loving her well. We are joining you in asking the Lord for her safety on this work trip this week and for His protection and peace over you and your family as you carry this.

When a relationship becomes controlling and isolating, the world can get very small very quickly. One of the steadiest gifts you can offer is a calm, consistent connection that does not pressure but also does not disappear. It helps to keep the door clearly open at home, to let her know she is deeply loved and welcome back without shame whenever she is ready, while you also guard what is yours to steward, your own peace, time and home. That kind of boundary protects you and keeps a clear place for her to return to.

It can help to walk through the next steps with one trusted pastor or counselor who knows you, someone who can help you think through how to stay connected, how to respond when work or financial pressures come up, and how to care for your own strength so you are not carrying this alone. If finances have become entangled, a pastor can also point you toward wise financial guidance in your community.

Jesus, we lift this daughter to You and ask for Your protection over her, for clarity in her mind and heart, and for renewed sense of her worth and freedom in You. Give her mother wisdom for each conversation, strength for each day, and Your peace over their home. Restore what has been strained in Your way and timing. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Wernad]

May the Lord protect her travels, open her eyes to the truth, and swiftly release her from every ungodly hold. May He restore her worth, freedom, and peace in Jesus' name. Amen.

- **Joel 2:25** – "I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten."

 

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has come before the Lord and we join our hearts with yours in prayer for your daughters and for your household. The Lord has heard, for He is not deaf to the plea of a parent who seeks the deliverance of a child from darkness. We take comfort in this truth, that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and where we look for justification there must we also look for sanctification, for it is God alone who brings forth His people.

We pray first for your daughter who travels to her work conference this week. We ask the Lord to set a hedge about her going out and coming in, to grant her a safe round trip and to keep her in all her ways. We pray also for your older daughter in her work, that the Lord would guard her mind from ungodly counsel that would cause her to despise the good gift He has given her in her employment. May He give her clarity to value honest labor and to not cast away the promotion and provision He has graciously bestowed.

We join you in praying for swift and complete deliverance from this ungodly entanglement. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and it is not the will of God for her life. It carries no covenant, no obligation before God to obey or to be bound as a wife, and we do not ask God to bless what He has not ordained. Rather we pray that He would open her eyes to see that she belongs not to this young man but to Christ, who alone can save and who alone has found a ransom for those going down to the pit. We pray that the Lord would flood her mind with supernatural clarity, that she would see the manipulation, dishonesty, control, isolation and disrespect for what they are, and that she would no longer make excuses for them. We pray that she would cease to idolize and obey one who is not her husband, that she would honor her parents as the Lord commands, and that she would turn from seeking the approval of those who encourage her in a dark path. We pray that the godly friends You have placed around her would speak truth with love and that she would have ears to hear.

We pray also for this young man and for his family. We do not pray for the continuance of their influence, but that the Lord would bring conviction of sin and a knowledge that this way is not ready nor right for a covenant relationship. We pray that his mother would cease to put undue responsibility upon your daughter and to encourage what God calls sin, and that his father would take rightful authority and guide his son to walk in repentance and responsibility. May the Lord show them that exploitation of finances, greed and jealous control are not love, and that true love does not steal peace and purpose but protects and honors.

We pray for your daughter's complete restoration. We ask the Lord to guide her out of this house that is not a home and to bring her back to the family He has anointed for her, with no regrets but with restored self worth, gratitude, independence and freedom in Christ. We pray that the stubborn and ungodly hold upon her would be broken, for we know that our deliverance was attended with enrichment and that He who brought Israel forth with silver and gold is able to restore what has been taken. We declare with you that this bondage shall not steal her peace, her purpose, or her love and unity with her family.

For you and your household we pray for protection from disrespect, division and strife. May the presence of the Lord go before you as a shield. May He fill you with supernatural strength, courage, grace and favor as you stand for biblical truth in love. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain, over you and your children, for it was when the lamb was slain that deliverance came, and it is not of him that wills nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, for the Lord has not forsaken His own, even when slandered or despised.

Take heart, for God has not only invented a way of deliverance but He has found a ransom, and therefore deliverance is certain and already accomplished in Christ. The clock of mercy strikes in heaven according to His eternal purpose. Though you have been sorely chastened, you shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord. May you be kept in communion with your Beloved even while occupied with the cares of this trial, and may you soon sing songs of deliverance for a greater salvation than that of Barak, even salvation from worse enemies through the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name we pray, Amen.
