We join with you in declaring life and rejecting the fear of death, and we stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ for His protection over you, your family, your friends and even your pets. We hear your heart crying out for normalcy, peace, permanence and a life lived under the Lord's will and design, and we agree with you that our God is the God of life.
The scripture declares I will not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah Psalm 118:17 and Jesus said I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly John 10:10. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but Christ has come to give life. We thank God with you that you are alive and we pray for His continued sustaining power and peace over your mind and body.
We also want to gently speak to something you declared about having earned favor and uncommon favor. We rejoice that you know you are highly favored in Christ, for we are made accepted in the Beloved Ephesians 1:6, yet scripture is clear that favor and grace cannot be earned. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast Ephesians 2:8-9. Your favor is not because you have earned it by your declarations or works, but because of what Jesus has done for you through His blood. We are favored because we are in Christ, not because we have earned it, and that truth makes your position even more secure because it rests on Him and not on our own effort.
We also join you in your stand against the enemy. We agree that we have authority in Jesus Christ and that we are to resist the devil. Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. We do not bind Satan in our own power, but we rest in the victory Jesus has already won, for they overcame him because of the Lamb's blood and because of the word of their testimony Revelation 12:11 and greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. It is by the blood of Jesus and submission to God that the enemy must flee, and we stand with you in that truth.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and it is only through Him we have access to Your throne. We thank You that You are the Author of life and that Your will and design for Your children is good. We declare Your life and peace over this dear one, over their family, friends and pets, and we ask that You keep them in normalcy and safety according to Your perfect will. We ask that You quiet any fear of death and replace it with Your peace which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7. Forgive us where we have thought we must earn Your favor, and help us to rest in the unmerited favor and grace You freely give in Christ. We submit ourselves to You, we resist the enemy in Jesus name, and we plead the blood of Jesus over this life and household. Provide, Lord, that private place to live and that greatly favored life lived for Your glory, and let all things work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose Romans 8:28. Establish this dear one in Your Word, in Your church and in Your peace, and let Your will be done permanently in their life. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust not in the power of your own words to speak things into existence, but in the power of God's sovereign Word and His promises. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. Remain in Him, abide in scripture, walk in obedience and prayer, and trust that His highly favored love over you is steadfast and not dependent on earning it. We continue to pray for your protection, provision and peace.
