Healing

[Bliudale]

Please pray for me for healing from previous coercive control which has broken my ability to concentrate well and made me hypervigilant. This came from envious in law who acted in a destructive way in stealing God given blessings from family and myself. I thank Jesus I am an overcomer and becoming stronger from the trials of life.

We join with you in prayer and thank God with you that you can declare in Jesus that you are an overcomer and are becoming stronger through the trials of life. That is the truth of who you are in Christ, for we are more than conquerors through him who loved us Romans 8:37 and we overcome because of our faith 1 John 5:4.

We are so sorry for what you have endured. Coercive control is not of God. It is a form of oppression and domination that breaks down the soul, and the Lord sees it and grieves over it. An envious and destructive spirit that seeks to steal what God has given to you and your family is sinful before the Lord, for where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed James 3:16 and envy rots the bones Proverbs 14:30. The enemy comes to steal and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly John 10:10. What was meant for harm, God is able to redeem and restore, and we pray He restores to you what has been stolen Joel 2:25.

We understand how such control can leave you hypervigilant and unable to concentrate well. Your nervous system has been kept on alert for a long time, and your mind has been under great strain. The Lord wants to heal you wholly, spirit and soul and body. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3 and He is close to those who are of a broken heart Psalm 34:18. He does not want you to live in fear, for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. We pray He renews your mind and brings you into His perfect peace as you keep your thoughts on Him Isaiah 26:3 and as you are transformed by the renewing of your mind Romans 12:2.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our healer and our deliverer. We lift up this dear one to You who has suffered under coercive control. Lord, You saw every moment of that oppression, every word and action from this envious in-law that sought to steal and destroy. We ask You to bring deep healing to the wounds left behind. Touch the mind that struggles to concentrate and calm the hypervigilance that remains. We ask You to quiet the spirit with Your peace that surpasses all understanding which will guard the heart and thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Replace fear and constant alertness with Your power, love and sound mind. Restore restful sleep, clear thought, and the ability to focus on what is good and true.

Lord, we ask You to break every lingering effect of that control and to restore what the enemy has tried to steal from this family. Heal the family relationships that have been harmed and establish healthy and godly boundaries that protect what You have blessed. Help our dear one to continue to walk as an overcomer, not by striving alone but by Your strength, for when we are weak then we are strong through You 2 Corinthians 12:10. Let this trial produce perseverance and maturity as You promise that the testing of faith works patience and makes us complete James 1:3-4, and work all things together for good for those who love You Romans 8:28. We thank You that no weapon formed against us will prosper Isaiah 54:17 and that You will never leave nor forsake us Deuteronomy 31:6. Pour out Your comfort, Your restoration, and Your joy. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.

We encourage you to continue to abide in Jesus daily and to let His Word wash over your mind. Meditate on His promises of peace and protection, such as Fear not, for I am with you, be not 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 Isaiah 41:10. When hypervigilance rises, practice bringing every thought captive to Christ and casting all your worries on Him, because He cares for you 1 Peter 5:7. It is also wise to seek continued support through trusted, biblical counsel and community as God often brings healing through His people and through safe relationships. Keep establishing loving boundaries, for guarding your heart is wisdom Proverbs 4:23, and forgiving as Christ forgave does not mean allowing ongoing destructive behavior but releasing the burden of vengeance to the Lord Romans 12:19.

We thank God that He is making you stronger. Continue to declare that you are an overcomer in Jesus, and trust that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ Philippians 1:6. We are standing with you for complete healing and restoration.

We're grateful you shared this with us. Living through coercive control can leave a deep imprint, and we hear how it has affected your ability to concentrate and left you feeling hypervigilant and on guard. It takes courage to name that, and we are encouraged to hear you speak of yourself as an overcomer in Jesus who is becoming stronger through these trials.

That experience of wanting to move forward while your mind and body still feel on alert is very understandable. Healing after that kind of strain often comes gradually, in steady and safe steps, not all at once.

One gentle next step you could consider is inviting a safe, consistent person into the process with you. For many that is a trusted pastor or a Christian counselor who understands the impact of coercive control, and if the trouble with concentration and feeling on edge continues to make daily life difficult, it can also help to talk with your doctor alongside prayer, not instead of it. You don't have to sort through this alone, and having someone who listens without pressure can help you rebuild a sense of safety and focus over time.

We are praying for you and want to continue to.

Jesus, we lift our friend to You with thanksgiving for the strength You have already shown in their life. We ask for Your healing and peace to rest on them, for moments of clearer focus and deeper rest, and for wisdom for each next step. Surround them with safe community and guide them to the support they need. In Jesus' name, amen.

Yes, Lord we agree with one of Your words over their life, "Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is the right word at the right time," Prov 25:11... Thank You, Holy Spirit, for using this one to comfort, edify -- help us to warn more astutely, for it is true of ALL Your attributes -- Though "righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your Throne, Loving-kindness and Truth DO go before You, yet God, overlooking times of ignorance is no declaring to all people everywhere to repent, for He has fixed a day whereby He will judge the earth through The Man Christ Jesus, having furnished PROOF by raising Him from the dead, Acts 17:30. Thank You in Jesus' Name, and may the peace of Christ which passes all comprehension, guard our hearts AND minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7.

 

[Spurgeon]

We join you in bringing this burden before the Lord and we thank God that you look to Jesus as your overcomer even while you feel the wounds of coercive control. To be made hypervigilant and to find the power to concentrate broken is a deep and painful affliction, and it is right to seek the Great Physician who alone can bind up the broken heart.

There is abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. The Scripture says the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing. Not only His fruit but His leaves are full of healing virtue. These healing leaves change the life blood and affect the spirits and make the nature other than it was before. See Him as the great conduit Head from whom abundant streams of healing flow down to those below. What envy would steal and what destructive hands would mar cannot finally take what God has given, for your blessings are kept in Christ.

You speak of a broken ability to concentrate. We are reminded that Mary took a pound of ointment and poured it all on Christ's feet, that is concentration, and then the whole house was filled with the odor of the ointment, that is diffusion. The surest way to effective diffusion is perfect concentration. When the mind has been scattered and taught to watch for harm, the Lord gently calls you to pour out all upon Jesus Himself. To concentrate everything upon Him is the way of healing, and as you sit under His teaching, healing power is present, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Give Him your attention, your fear, your sleepless thoughts, and He will in time fill the whole house of your soul with His peace.

Healing and forgiveness are placed in happy conjunction. The Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings, and when Jesus healed He said, Your sins are forgiven you, for pardon and healing are one in His hand. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds, and this is not the work of man but of God alone. The work of Jesus our heavenly Physician is not to leave you in despair over your disease but to apply the remedy, for Calvary is the place for the healing balm.

Think also of Peter, who was down but was soon up again. His restoration was brought about by a look from the Lord which severed him from the crowd and by the prayer of Jesus who prayed that his faith would not fail. So the Lord looks upon you now with that same restoring love, and He prays for you that you may be turned again and strengthened to strengthen others. You will not be left as you are, for the healing virtue which His grace has infused into you will work health and cure till you are whole.

We pray for you now, that the Lord would heal the wounds left by control, calm the hypervigilance that keeps you watching for danger, and restore quietness and power to concentrate upon what is good and true. May He guard your family and yourself from every envious and destructive design and cause you to know that no one can steal what God has appointed for His children. May He make you stronger through these trials, rooted and grounded in His love, and may you know daily the pardon and healing that flow from Christ alone. Amen.
