We come before the Throne of Grace with you, lifting up these heartfelt cries for healing, deliverance, and restoration, and we thank you for invoking the holy and mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His precious blood that we are cleansed from all unrighteousness. As it is written, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is the foundation of our intercession today, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that *"if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 18:19, WEB).
First, we address the unclean spirits you mention. The Word of God is clear: *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"* (1 Peter 5:8, WEB). But we have authority in Christ to rebuke and cast out these spirits, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We command every unclean spirit, every spirit of fear, phobia, self-destruction, intrusive thoughts, and loneliness to leave you now in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that *"you are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit, who brings peace, soundness of mind, and the fruit of righteousness. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
For the healing of teeth, bodies, minds, and emotions—whether for you, your loved ones, or those you intercede for—we claim the promise that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). We ask the Lord to restore every tooth, gum, bone, and infection, for *"he heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). Specifically, we pray for your grandmother’s hands and body, that the Lord would strengthen those who care for her and give them compassionate hearts to focus on her needs. For your mother’s brain and health, we ask for divine healing and clarity, that she may walk in the fullness of God’s shalom. We also lift up your brother and his family, praying for complete restoration in every area of their lives, including their teeth and overall well-being.
Homelessness and poverty are heavy burdens, but our God is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. We pray that He would open doors for stable housing, godly community, and provision for you and all who are in need. *"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB). We rebuke the spirit of poverty and declare that *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). May the Lord lead you to resources, godly relationships, and opportunities that honor Him.
We also address the issue of smoking, which is a bondage that the enemy uses to harm the temple of the Holy Spirit. *"Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). We pray for deliverance from this habit and for the Lord to replace it with a hunger for His Word and His presence. May He break every chain and fill you with His peace and self-control.
For loneliness, we remind you that even when family or friends may fail, the Lord is near. *"Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go"* (Joshua 1:9, WEB). We pray that the Lord would surround you with a community of believers who will encourage you, pray with you, and walk alongside you in faith. May He also heal the wounds that have led to intrusive thoughts, worries, and daydreaming, replacing them with the *"peace of God, which surpasses all understanding"* (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
We lift up your mother’s YouTube channel, asking that the Lord would bless the work of her hands and use it for His glory. May it be a source of joy, encouragement, and truth to those who watch, and may it bring her fulfillment as she seeks to honor Him in all she does.
Finally, we pray for forgiveness and restoration for you and your family. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). We ask the Lord to remove any bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness, and to fill your hearts with His love and grace. May you all surrender fully to His will, trusting Him with every area of your lives.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and for the authority we have in His name. We ask You to move mightily in these situations, bringing healing, deliverance, provision, and restoration. Break every chain of the enemy and let Your light shine brightly in every dark place. Draw each person closer to You, Lord, and let Your will be done in their lives. We pray for a merry heart for all, for *"a cheerful heart makes good medicine"* (Proverbs 17:22, WEB). Protect them from all evil, and guide their steps in Your truth. May they experience Your love in tangible ways and walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has already won.
We declare all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
