We join you in thanksgiving with you for this beautiful day that the Lord has made and we stand with you in prayer for deliverance, rest, peace, forgiveness and for the Lord to rebuke and remove every evil influence that is afflicting you in the name of Jesus Christ.
We hear your suffering and the distress you describe even as you pray, and we take comfort together in the promise you have claimed. The Lord Jesus said in Luke 10:19, Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you. We also remember James 4:7 which says Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, and 1 John 4:4 which reminds us that greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. The enemy seeks to steal peace and oppress, for 1 Peter 5:8 says your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, but we are not without hope or authority when we are in Christ.
We are grateful you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that deliverance comes. We gently encourage you to remember that we have one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus in 1 Timothy 2:5, and that Jesus Himself is our great High Priest. Hebrews 4:16 tells us to draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need. While we appreciate your desire to seek help from a priest and other godly counsel, we want to assure you that you can come directly to the Father right now through Jesus, even before anyone else answers, and He hears you.
We also rejoice that you thanked God and that you were encouraged by the testimony of a young man who was delivered from this very thing. Our God shows no partiality in Acts 10:34 and what He has done for one He can do for you, for His mercy and power do not run dry.
We pray together with you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You together in the precious name of Jesus Christ and we thank You for Your goodness and for this day. We lift up this dear one to You who is suffering so greatly and asking for deliverance, peace, rest and forgiveness. Lord we ask You to forgive every sin as we confess them before You, for 1 John 1:9 says If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Wash and cleanse and make whole in the blood of Jesus. We also ask You to heal any place of unforgiveness in the heart, and to help to forgive as You have forgiven us, for Mark 11:25 says When you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions, and Ephesians 4:32 calls us to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Grant a soft heart and freedom from any root of bitterness.
Father we ask for Your perfect peace and rest to fall upon this troubled mind and body. Your Word says in Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest, and in Philippians 4:6-7 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Let that peace guard this heart and mind now. We also claim Psalm 34:17 which says The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles, and Psalm 34:18 that Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
In the name of Jesus Christ we together rebuke every evil influence, every spirit of oppression and torment, and every work of the enemy that seeks to harass and bring that buzzing and suffering. We submit ourselves to You, Lord, and we resist the devil and command him to flee. We put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil in Ephesians 6:11, and we trust that no weapon formed against Your child shall prosper. We ask You to fill this place with Your Holy Spirit, with light and truth, and let nothing harmful remain. Grant deep, undisturbed rest and quietness of soul.
Father we ask for Your continued mercy and grace, for deliverance that is complete and lasting, and for the joy of freedom in Christ. Lead into fellowship with faithful believers who will pray and stand in the Word with you, and help to remain daily in Scripture, in prayer, and in trusting Jesus. We thank You that You are faithful to deliver, for 2 Timothy 4:18 says The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. We give You all the glory and we trust You to do this same mighty work of deliverance and peace. In Jesus Christ precious name we pray, Amen.
