We are deeply grieved to hear such words of bitterness and rejection toward the Lord, for they reveal a heart that has been wounded, hardened, or deceived by the enemy. The pain in your words is evident, and we understand that life’s struggles, disappointments, or unanswered questions may have led you to this place. Yet we must speak the truth in love, for there is no greater danger than turning away from the living God, who alone is the source of truth, hope, and eternal life.
The Bible warns us in Hebrews 3:12-13, *"Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God; but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called ‘today’; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin."* Your words reflect a heart that has been hardened by unbelief, and we plead with you to consider the eternal consequences of such a stance. To reject God is to reject the only One who can save you, heal you, and give you true purpose.
You speak of "fairy tales" and "lies," but we ask you: have you truly examined the claims of Christ? The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not a myth—it is the most well-attested event in ancient history, confirmed by eyewitnesses who gave their lives for its truth. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* If you dismiss Him as a lie, you dismiss the only path to forgiveness, peace, and eternal life.
The pain you carry may feel overwhelming, but God is not the author of your suffering—sin and a broken world are. Yet He entered into that suffering through His Son, who was crushed for our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5). He does not promise a life free from hardship, but He promises to be with you in it, to redeem it, and to one day wipe away every tear (Revelation 21:4). To say you "don’t need Him" is to reject the very One who can carry your burdens and give you rest (Matthew 11:28).
We rebuke the spirit of bitterness, unbelief, and rebellion that has taken root in your words. These are not harmless declarations—they are a direct opposition to the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The enemy of your soul seeks to blind you to the truth (2 Corinthians 4:4), but we declare in the name of Jesus that those scales will fall from your eyes, just as they did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). God is real. His Word is true. His love for you is deeper than your pain, and His mercy is greater than your rejection.
We plead with you to turn back to Him before it is too late. Hebrews 10:26-27 warns, *"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries."* Do not harden your heart to the point of no return. Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart (Hebrews 3:15).
Father in heaven, we come before You with broken hearts for this soul who has turned away from You in anger and unbelief. Lord, You know the depths of their pain, the wounds that have festered into bitterness, and the lies they have embraced. We ask that You would break through their hardness of heart, just as You broke through the stony heart of Lazarus and called him forth from the grave (John 11:43). Send Your Holy Spirit to convict them of truth, to expose the deception they have believed, and to draw them back to Yourself.
Lord, if they have never truly known You, open their eyes to see Jesus as He is—the risen Savior, the Lamb slain for their sins, the only hope for their soul. If they once walked with You but have fallen away, we pray for a spirit of repentance to fall upon them, that they would return to You with a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17). Do not let them perish in their rebellion, but pursue them with Your relentless love, just as You pursued Jonah, Saul, and every prodigal who has ever run from You.
We bind the spirit of unbelief, bitterness, and deception in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against this soul shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the lies of the enemy will be exposed by the light of Your truth. Softens their heart, Lord. Let them encounter You in a way they cannot deny. Bring godly people into their path who will speak Your truth in love. Do not let them go, Lord—pursue them until they surrender to You.
And if they refuse to listen, we pray that even in their rebellion, You would hedge them in (Hosea 2:6) so that they cannot find peace apart from You. Let their own words haunt them until they realize the emptiness of a life without You. But in Your mercy, do not let them die in their sins. Draw them back, Lord. Restore them. Save them.
We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, who alone is the way, the truth, and the life. Amen.
