We join you together in prayer in the name of Jesus and we thank you for asking in His name, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we are saved and heard, as it is written, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6.
We lift up your physical need before the Lord and we ask according to His will that He would touch your body today and restore your strength and health. We know the Lord is compassionate toward our infirmities and that He cares for our bodies as well as our souls. Scripture reminds us to Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3 and we cling to His promise that when we are anxious He draws near to bring peace. We also encourage you to rest, to care for your body, and to seek medical help if your symptoms continue or worsen, for God often works through wisdom and care as well as through direct healing.
We also bring your anxiety to the Lord with you. He does not want you to be burdened with fear but to cast your cares upon Him. We pray that He will calm your heart and fill you with His peace that passes understanding. The Word tells us, 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 Philippians 4:6-7 and Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you 1 Peter 5:7 and also Fear not, 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. We ask the Lord to quiet your thoughts today and to remind you that He is present and in control.
Concerning the woman who calls herself an apostle, we pray with you for discernment and wisdom, for the Lord wants us to test all things carefully. The Scripture warns us, Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world 1 John 4:1 and For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ's apostles 2 Corinthians 11:13. The Lord Jesus also taught us, By their fruits you will know them Matthew 7:16 and we are told to Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good 1 Thessalonians 5:21.
In the New Testament, apostles were eyewitnesses of the risen Lord and were used to lay the foundation of the church with Christ Himself as the cornerstone, and we are told that the church was built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets Ephesians 2:20. The Lord commended those who tried those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false Revelation 2:2. A true servant of God will not draw attention to herself but will point always to Jesus Christ crucified and risen, will teach sound doctrine that agrees with Scripture, will bear the fruit of humility, holiness, and love, and will not seek personal glory or power or financial gain. A false apostle will often add to Scripture, claim new revelation that contradicts the Bible, demand unquestioned authority, or live in a way that does not reflect Christ. We encourage you to compare all she teaches and how she lives to the Word of God itself, for if her teaching does not align with Scripture it is not from God. Ask the Lord for wisdom as He promises, But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son and we lift up this dear one to You. Lord if it is Your will, lay Your healing hand upon this body today, ease the sickness, restore strength, and grant relief and renewed health. Calm the anxiety and fear and let Your perfect peace guard heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Pour out Your comfort and remind this one that You care deeply and that You are near. Grant clear discernment concerning this woman who calls herself an apostle, open eyes to see truth from error, and give wisdom to test all things by Your Word. Lead away from deception and draw closer to faithful teaching and to Christ alone. Help us to walk in truth, to abide in Your Word, and to trust You in all things. We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus, our Savior and Healer, amen.
