We hear your cry to be free and to walk in victory and we stand with you together in Jesus name to seek God's will for your life.
We rejoice that you are claiming the promise of Deut 28:13 where it says Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God which I command you today, to observe and to do them. We want to gently remind you that this beautiful promise is conditional upon listening to and obeying the voice of the Lord. It is not a chant to gain control over apps or devices, but a covenant blessing for those who walk in obedience to Him. Our authority to resist the enemy does not come from our own declarations, but from being subject to God first. As James 4:7 tells us, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
We understand your frustration with phone games and remote apps and the feeling that they have stolen your joy and favor and time. If these things have become a snare or an addiction or a waste of time and stewardship, it is right to cut them off and to choose what is better. We encourage you to take practical steps to remove what entangles you and to replace that time with prayer and the Word of God, for 2 Cor 10:4-5 reminds us that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds.
We also hear your declaration that you are okay now and that you have your own joy and favor. We want to encourage you that true joy and favor are not found in our Apple products or our wallet or our technology, but in Christ alone. We can steward those tools wisely for God's glory without being mastered by them. Phil 4:4 says Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, Rejoice. And Rom 8:37 assures us, No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
We join you in thanking God for the blood of Jesus which truly does cleanse and cover and bless. As 1 John 1:7 says, but if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
We pray together with you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You that through His blood we have victory and forgiveness and access to Your throne. We lift up our brother or sister to You and ask that You set them completely free from every game and app and distraction that has consumed time and peace. We rebuke the work of the enemy in Jesus name and ask that Satan's influence be broken off of their mind and their phone and their home. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and let Your joy be their strength. Help them to walk in obedience so they may truly live as the head and not the tail for Your glory, not for control over things, but to be a faithful steward of all You have entrusted to them including their technology and finances. Let them find their favor and identity in You alone. We also pray as they asked that You would bless the nations with the knowledge of Your grace through the blood of Jesus. Lead them into lasting peace and wholeness and let them know they are greatly loved and fully okay in Christ. We ask all this in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior, amen.
