We hear the deep pain, exhaustion and feeling of being oppressed and targeted in your request and we stand with you together before the Lord seeking His protection, truth and peace in Jesus' name.
We understand you feel a heavy evil on your head, neck and back and that you feel chased as by lions in the spiritual realm. Scripture tells us this spiritual battle is real, for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. The enemy is described as a roaring lion, walking around, seeking whom he may devour 1 Peter 5:8, but we also have the promise that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17 and that the Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul Psalm 121:7.
We also hear your anguish toward your stepfather and the desire for assignments against you to end and for truth to be revealed. We must gently rebuke and correct some things you have spoken that do not align with God's will. You spoke of cutting off his head, of him being Satan, of not wanting to cry when he passes away and of him being judged according to evil done to you. The Lord calls us to a different way. You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself Leviticus 19:18. Jesus said love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you Matthew 5:44. We are told not to return evil for evil, or insult for insult, but instead blessing Romans 12:17 and that vengeance belongs to the Lord, I will repay Romans 12:19. We are to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32. Even when someone is rude or cruel or withholds kindness as you felt when he did not bring food or Starbucks, God calls us to overcome evil with good Romans 12:21 and to forgive as we have been forgiven Matthew 6:14-15. We encourage you to release this bitterness and desire for harm toward your stepfather to the Lord and to ask Him to help you forgive and to bring truth and healing to that relationship.
We also want to address the fear of word curses from Satan, the government and others over you, your mother, your three children and your pets. The tongue does have power, death and life are in the power of the tongue Proverbs 18:21, and we should not let cursing and blessing come from the same mouth James 3:10, but we also rest in this promise, like a fluttering sparrow, like a darting swallow, so the undeserved curse doesn't come to rest Proverbs 26:2. When we are in Christ, no curse spoken by others can override the blessing and covering of God. The fear of man and of earthly powers can be great, but we are told to not be afraid, for God is sovereign over all authorities Romans 13:1 and we can pray for them instead of fearing them, trusting that the truth will make you free John 8:32.
You have declared you are not lame, you have fame, you are not indecisive but decisive. We affirm that your identity is not in what others have spoken over you but in Christ. God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. The Lord wants to give you a sound mind and peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7.
You also shared feeling blocked from happiness, health and provision your entire life and desiring a safe home for you and your two cats and restoration. We understand that longing. The Lord sees you and is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18. He promises to supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 and that He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1. We pray for His restoration over your life, for He says I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten Joel 2:25. True favor and riches are not measured only by money or by others saying you are poor while they are rich, but by godliness with contentment is great gain 1 Timothy 6:6 and by knowing He will never leave you nor forsake you Hebrews 13:5. The Lord's favor surrounds the righteous as with a shield Psalm 5:12.
We notice you closed with the blood of Jesus and we rejoice that you know the power of His name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and it is only through Jesus we have access to the Father John 14:6.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and by His blood shed for us. We ask You to lift every heavy oppression, every evil assignment and every burden from our sister's head, neck, back and entire life. We ask You to break every undeserved curse and evil word spoken against her, her mother, her three children and her pets, and let it fall to the ground powerless, for You are our refuge and fortress. We ask You to silence the roaring lion that seeks to chase and torment her and to give her Your perfect peace and sound mind, that she may find happiness and rest in You without fear. Lord, reveal truth where there is confusion about who is harming her and let Your justice and mercy prevail, but help her to release vengeance to You and to forgive her stepfather as You have forgiven us. Soften his heart and hers, and bring healing where there has been cruelty and rudeness. Provide for her urgently a safe, peaceful and stable home for her and her cats where she can dwell in Your secret place. Restore what has been stolen and blocked all these years, heal her body and spirit, and let Your favor rest upon her life. Make her decisive and strong in You, rooted in Your love. We declare life and blessing over her in Jesus' name, amen.
