We hear your desperate cry and we join with you together before the throne of grace in Jesus' name, lifting up your loved one who is bedridden with this severe hernia pressing on the nerves of the spinal column, your dear mother with Alzheimer's, and you in your own afflictions and burdens.
We are deeply moved by the suffering you describe, the numbness and tingling, the cold sensations, the inability to walk or sleep or work, and the panic and spiritual oppression that has come upon your home. We bring all of this to the Lord who is our healer and our deliverer, and we ask Him to lead you to the right doctors who will give a correct diagnosis and effective treatment. We pray for skill and wisdom for every physician you consult, for we know that God often works through the hands of doctors, yet ultimate healing comes from Him.
We pray for your loved one now, that God in His mercy would touch his spine and remove the pressure of that hernia from the nerves, restore feeling and strength to his arms and legs and face, take away the tingling and cold, and enable him to rise from that bed, to walk, to sleep peacefully, and to work and live normally again. We claim the promise that He heals all our diseases, as it is written Psalm 103:2-3, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, and Jeremiah 30:17, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. And we remember Isaiah 53:5, But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We also lift up your mother to the Lord, asking for His tender mercy over her as she battles Alzheimer's, for comfort and peace for her mind and for you as you care for her. And we pray for you, for healing from anemia, for your body to be strengthened, and for those moles that have changed color, we urge you to have them examined urgently by a dermatologist and trusted doctors, for the Lord calls us to be good stewards of the bodies He has given us, and we pray that God would protect you from any serious disease and restore you to health.
We bring before the Lord your urgent financial needs, the need for clients for the premises and for the business, the need to pay for medical treatments and debts and repairs to your home. Our God knows your needs and He is Jehovah Jireh, our provider. We pray that He would open doors that no man can shut, bring the right clients, and supply all your needs according to His riches in glory, as Philippians 4:19 promises, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, as Matthew 6:33 teaches, and trust that He will add what you need.
We also hear your anguish over the spiritual attacks and oppression you feel from the practices of those around you involved in Umbanda, and the panic attacks and loss of peace in your home. We want to speak clearly and with love about this. The Word tells us Ephesians 6:12, 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. Practices such as Umbanda are forms of witchcraft and spiritism which God forbids, as Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, yet we do not need to live in fear of them, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, and to bring fear, but God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, 2 Timothy 1:7.
Therefore we rebuke that spirit of fear and oppression and every assignment of the enemy against your family and your home in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We pray for complete deliverance from all evil, for the peace of God which surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7, and for the Lord to be a wall of protection around your dwelling as Psalm 91:1-2 declares, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. We encourage you to resist the devil by submitting yourselves to God, James 4:7 says, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, to fill your home with prayer, with the reading of Scripture aloud, with worship, and to put on the whole armor of God daily, Ephesians 6:11, and to seek the counsel and prayer support of a faithful Bible believing local church.
We notice your request speaks of God but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that there is salvation and power for healing and deliverance. Jesus Himself said John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 declares, 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. It is by the name of Jesus, and by His blood shed on the cross and His resurrection, that we are forgiven, healed, and delivered. If you have not already, place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, confess your sins, believe that He died for you and rose again, and call upon His name, for Romans 10:13 says, For, Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
So together we pray, Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up this beloved family to You, the bedridden loved one, the mother with Alzheimer's, and the one who cries out for help. Lord, lay Your healing hand upon that spine, relieve the compression on those nerves, restore circulation and sensation, take away the numbness, tingling and cold, give wisdom to doctors, provide the correct treatment, and grant a miracle of healing that only You can do. Touch the mother's mind and body with Your comfort, touch this dear one with healing from anemia and protection from harm, guide every medical test and examination, provide financially for all treatments and debts, bring clients and provision, repair what is broken in the home, and above all pour out Your perfect peace that casts out all fear and panic. Deliver them from every evil work and satanic oppression, break every chain, let Your light fill every room of their house, and let them dwell in safety and family peace under Your wings. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Healer, amen.
We will continue to stand with you in prayer daily. Keep seeking the Lord, keep pursuing medical care diligently, cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, and cling to His promise Isaiah 41:10, Don't you 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.
