We hear your cry for protection and justice, and we stand with you in prayer, lifting this matter before the throne of God. The Word of God declares in Psalm 82:3-4, *"Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."* We take authority in the name of Jesus Christ over any forces of theft, oppression, or injustice that may be seeking to harm you or your children. The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10).
However, we must address some concerns in your declaration with biblical truth. First, we do not "speak, command, decree, or declare" as if we ourselves hold divine authority. That power belongs to God alone. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). Our words should align with His will, not our own desires for control or vengeance. The authority we have in Christ is to resist the devil (James 4:7), not to demand or create as if we are gods. That is a dangerous path that leads to pride and deception.
You mention a "shield of rare blood," but Scripture is clear that our only true shield is faith in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 6:16 tells us, *"Above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one."* It is the blood of Jesus, shed on the cross for our sins, that cleanses us and protects us (1 John 1:7). No other blood—whether literal or symbolic—has power to save or shield. We must be careful not to mix biblical truth with personal beliefs or cultural ideas that do not align with Scripture.
You also reference being a "Hebrew" in a way that seems to elevate your identity above others. While the Jewish people are indeed chosen by God (Deuteronomy 7:6), salvation is now available to all who believe in Jesus Christ, Jew and Gentile alike. Galatians 3:28 tells us, *"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."* Our identity in Christ is what matters most, not our ethnicity or past experiences. We are all sinners saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8-9), and no one is above another in God’s eyes.
You mention prison time, and we want to encourage you with the truth that God can redeem even the darkest moments of our lives. If you have repented of any sins that led to your imprisonment, know that God has forgiven you (1 John 1:9). If you were wrongly accused, we pray for justice and restoration. But we must also warn against bitterness or a spirit of retaliation. Romans 12:19 says, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* Trust God to be your defender, not your own strength or words.
Most importantly, we notice that your declaration does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, who is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and surrender your life to Him. Only then can you truly walk in the authority and protection of God.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear one to You, asking for Your divine protection over their life and the lives of their children. Lord, You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust (Psalm 91:2). We ask that You surround them with Your angels, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Shield them from the schemes of the enemy, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we repent on their behalf for any words or beliefs that do not align with Your truth. Forgive us for attempting to take authority that belongs to You alone. Teach us to pray according to Your will, not our own. Help us to walk in humility, trusting in Your sovereignty and justice. We break every spirit of pride, deception, or retaliation in the name of Jesus, and we command it to flee.
Lord, if there is any unconfessed sin in their life, we ask that You reveal it to them and grant them the gift of repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus, and restore them to a right relationship with You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in wisdom, discernment, and the fear of the Lord.
We pray for their children, that You would draw them close to You and protect them from all harm. Let them grow in the knowledge of Your love and truth. Surround them with godly influences and guide their steps according to Your perfect plan.
Father, we declare that no thief, no bully, no force of darkness can take what You have given. The air they breathe, the lives they live, and the future You have planned for them are secure in Your hands. We stand on Your promises, trusting that You will work all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, allowing it to renew your mind and shape your beliefs. Meditate on Scriptures like Psalm 91, Ephesians 6:10-18, and James 4:7-10. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. Remember, the battle is not yours, but the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). Trust in Him, and He will fight for you.
