Carried by Four
Some souls need the combined faith and effort of others to be brought to Christ for healing and forgiveness.
The Heart-a Den of Evil
The human heart is the source of all sin, and only God’s grace can cleanse and renew it.
David's Religious Experience
God hears prayer and answers it, so we must commit to a life of prayer and trust in Him.
Your prayer has been read with care and with thanksgiving for the faith and persistence you show in bringing your whole family before the Lord Jesus.

God hears those who call upon Him in truth, and you do well to plead the blood of Christ, for salvation comes through Him alone. He is the spotless Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, and there is no other name by which we are saved. For your unsaved family members and relatives, we will pray that today, while it is still called today, their hearts would be opened to the gospel, that they would hear and receive it not only with the ear but with a life turned toward Christ. Hearing alone is not sufficient for salvation, but hearing joined to repentance, faith, and obedience, with a continual remembrance of His word and a turning away from what grieves Him.

You ask for deliverance from bondage, addictions, compulsions and every influence that is not of the Lord. Scripture calls the Christian life a good warfare, requiring strong arms, sobriety and continual vigilance. We will pray that the Lord would set you and your household free, that He would block what is not good and confront what is evil, and surround you with His protection as He promises in Psalm 91 to those who dwell in His shelter. We will ask Him to guard your thoughts and emotions, to give peace where there is turmoil, and to act quickly according to His wisdom and mercy, as you have asked from Luke 18 and Psalm 50:15, remembering that His mercies are new every morning.

Concerning the relationships you mention, we join you in praying for salvation and holiness. We will not ask God to bless what is outside His design, for marriage is given as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and sexual intimacy and living together belong within that covenant. Where a relationship is dysfunctional or draws anyone away from Christ and purity, we pray that God in His love would bring conviction, bring it to an end, and lead each person to repentance, healing and a life pleasing to Him. We pray that He would protect the young people you named from further harmful relationships and instead form them in truth, self control and faith.

We also bring before the Lord the many particular needs you lifted up. For the child who needs friends at school, help with tests, understanding of material, confidence and favor with teachers and classmates, we ask that God would encourage her, strengthen her faith and let her know He hears her prayers. For those suffering with spasms, trauma, rejection, abandonment, burnout and other wounds of body and mind, we ask for His healing touch. For work, meetings, planning, workload, leadership, shepherding, and for provision and care in every practical matter, we ask for wisdom, guidance and the fullness of the Holy Spirit, that Christ would be first in all things. For the prayer gatherings, outreaches, children's ministry, camps and sermons, we pray that God would anoint His word, pierce hearts, and bring forth lasting fruit for His glory, and that what the enemy meant for evil He would turn to great blessing.

Continue to seek Him with repentance and with love for Him above all else. Lay aside carelessness and softness toward sin, and cultivate fortitude, prayer and contempt for worldly things that choke the word. Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation, and the Lord who came not to judge but to save is near to all who call upon Him.

We will stand with you in prayer for all you have entrusted to us, including the prayers from your earlier request that was deleted and known fully to God. May He establish you in righteousness as Isaiah 54 promises, far from oppression and fear, and make His salvation and comfort abound in your family.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we ask for salvation for the lost in this family, deliverance for those in bondage, healing for those who are sick and wounded, protection for all, wisdom for work and school, and grace to repent and to walk in obedience. Fill this household with Your Holy Spirit, teach them to love You first, and glorify Your name in every part of their lives. Amen.
 
Thank you for pouring out your heart so honestly and for wanting Jesus to be glorified in your family above all else. That desire to see Him honored, to see loved ones saved, healed, delivered and protected, and to walk in repentance and obedience is pleasing to God.

Your trust in Jesus as the perfect spotless Lamb who takes away the sin of the world and cleanses us from all sin is the only ground for salvation. Scripture teaches that His name means the Lord our salvation, and that if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. With the heart we believe and with the mouth we confess unto salvation. There will be a day when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, but that confession will not then bring salvation. It will be a confession that He is Lord and that rejecting Him was wrong. That is why now is the accepted time and now is the day of salvation. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared, and it is offered to all, but it must be received today. Do not delay in praying for unsaved family and relatives to open their hearts to the gospel, and do not neglect so great a salvation, for there is no other provision God has made for sin and no other way to escape if it is neglected.

Because salvation rests entirely on His grace and His work through Jesus, and even the faith to believe is His gift, we do not work for our salvation. When Scripture says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, it does not mean to work to earn it. It means to live out with reverence and dependence what God has already worked within you. That is the call to repent of what grieves Him, to love Him first and foremost, to obey Him, and to be filled with His Holy Spirit and led by His wisdom. Your honesty about failing often is where His mercy meets you. His mercies are new every morning, and He is faithful to forgive, to guide, and to give wisdom when you ask.

You asked for protection, for the blood of Christ over your family, for His angels around you and for His presence like a wall of fire around your thoughts and emotions. The Lord does promise to be a refuge. He invites you to call upon Him in the day of trouble and He will deliver you, and He promises to cover those who dwell in Him and to be their shield. No weapon formed against you shall finally prosper when you are established in His righteousness. That does not mean every difficulty is removed instantly, but it does mean you can trust Him to block what is not good, to fight your battles, and to bring peace as you keep crying out to Him. He hears persistent prayer. As Jesus taught, God will bring justice for His own who cry out to Him day and night, and He will act.

You also lifted up many needs for healing, including spasms and wounds of body and mind, trauma, rejection and abandonment, burnout, and deep hurts in relationships, along with needs for school, tests, friendships, favor with teachers, work, meetings, workload, and care responsibilities. God is able to heal both soul and body. When Jesus bore our sorrows He bore also our sicknesses, and His broken body is remembered when we come to His table. At the same time, Scripture shows that healing is not always granted in the way or timing we ask. Even the apostle Paul prayed repeatedly for a painful affliction to be removed and the Lord answered with grace sufficient for that season. For that reason we pray with faith for healing while submitting to His perfect wisdom and will. Whatever He does, the greatest miracle remains the salvation of a soul and the forgiveness of sins. Nothing is more important than that, and physical healing, as precious as it is, flows from the same mercy.

Concerning relationships, I join you in praying for salvation, deliverance from bondage, addictions and compulsions, and for purity and holiness. God’s design for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and sexual intimacy and living together belong within that covenant. I cannot ask God to bless what is outside that design, but I do pray with you that God will save, convict, confront what is evil, remove strongholds and lies, break destructive patterns, and either bring relationships into alignment with His will or graciously block what would lead further from Him. Praying for God to stop what is not good and to save those involved is the loving and right way to pray.

For your children and family members, I pray that God will give true friends, help with learning and tests, strengthen faith, and let them know He hears their prayers. I pray He will heal what is wounded, replace thoughts from the enemy with His truth, give confidence rooted in His love, and restore relationships supernaturally where there has been hurt. For work and service, for planning, leading and shepherding, for outreaches and gatherings for prayer and for children, I pray He will anoint, guide, empower and protect, and turn what the enemy meant for evil into blessing. He knows every detail you mentioned, including the situations that feel so difficult to handle and the things that have made you angry or discouraged, and He can help you respond in a way that honors Him.

May the Lord give you encounters with Himself, fresh encouragement, and breakthrough as you continue to seek Him. Keep confessing Jesus as Lord now, keep trusting His grace, keep walking out what He has worked in you with fear and trembling, and keep calling on Him. He who has begun a good work is faithful to complete it.

Father, in the name of Jesus I lift this family to You. Thank You for what You have already done. Save those who are not yet saved, deliver from every bondage, heal what is broken in body, mind and emotions, protect under Your wings, surround with Your presence, forgive sins through the blood of the Lamb, fill with Your Holy Spirit, teach to love and obey You first, grant wisdom, peace and guidance in every home, school and work need, and glorify Yourself in every part of their lives. Amen.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

We have continued to lift up your family before the Lord Jesus that He would glorify Himself in your midst and bring salvation, healing, deliverance and protection. We have been praying with you and pleading the precious blood of Jesus over you and your loved ones as the perfect spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, asking for His mighty warrior angels to surround you and for a wall of Holy Spirit fire around you including your thoughts and emotions. We have stood with you for the salvation and deliverance of your entire family including relatives, that the Lord would open the hearts of unsaved family members to the gospel and deliver from all bondage, addictions and compulsions, and for His powerful intervention in the difficult situations you are facing. We remember your stand on Luke 18:7 and Psalm 50:15 and Psalm 91 and Isaiah 54:14 and Psalm 77:14, crying out for God to act quickly, to block what is not good, to fight your battles, to bring peace, to heal relationships, to provide friends and favor at school, to remove infirmity and spasms, to turn what the enemy meant for evil into blessing, and to anoint your work, your meetings, your sermons, your prayer gatherings and outreaches.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know how God has glorified Himself and encouraged you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We continue to ask the Lord to guide you, give you wisdom, fill you with His Holy Spirit, help you to love and obey Him first and foremost, and to grant you His mercy which is new every morning.

We pray in Jesus Name, Amen.
