We have heard your urgent cry for healing and provision for you, your mother and your loved one, and we are standing together with you in prayer before our Heavenly Father.
We are deeply moved by the suffering you describe, your loved one bedridden with painful lesions in his elbows, arms, spine and knees without medical cause, unable to work and crying from pain, your mother suffering with Alzheimer's, and you yourself struggling with anemia and vitamin D deficiency, while also carrying the heavy burden of debt, a seized business and a shop that needs customers to survive. We also hear your anguish over the spiritual oppression and the attacks you feel from neighbors involved in Umbanda who you say are harming your house and business and causing health and financial loss.
We want to remind you that our battle 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. Umbanda and all forms of witchcraft and spiritism are forbidden by God and are empty and powerless before the name of Jesus Christ. We do not fear those practices, for greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4, and no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. We rebuke every work of darkness and every spirit of oppression, infirmity and fear that has come against your family and your home, and we command it to leave in the name of Jesus. We also rebuke any temptation to respond with fear, retaliation or by seeking spiritual help outside of Christ. We are to submit ourselves therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7, and to overcome evil with good Romans 12:21, even praying for those who persecute you as Jesus taught in Matthew 5:44.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we lovingly urge you to remember that it is only through Him that we have access to God and that we are saved. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and 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. If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. We encourage you to call upon His name alone for healing, deliverance and provision, not on any other power or ritual.
We believe God is our healer who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3, and that by His wounds we are healed Isaiah 53:5, and that He will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17. We also believe He is our provider who will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, and as we seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33.
We join our faith together and pray for you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we lift up this dear family to You. Lord, You see the pain of this beloved one who is bedridden, who cries from lesions in his elbows, spine, knees and arms that have no medical explanation. We ask for Your miracle of healing and deliverance over him. Touch his body, remove every lesion, take away the pain, restore his joints and spine and raise him up so he may work and live without pain. We rebuke every spirit of infirmity and oppression in Jesus' name and ask You to fill him with Your peace and strength. We pray for his physiotherapy session this Wednesday at 1 p.m., guide the hands and wisdom of the physiotherapist, give proper treatment and let it bring relief and progress. Father, we lift up his mother with Alzheimer's, have mercy on her, comfort her, give her peace and dignity, and strengthen those who care for her. We lift up our dear one who suffers with anemia and vitamin D deficiency, restore her blood, her strength and her health, guide doctors and provide good nutrition and care. Lord, we pray for their shop and their finances, You see that their business has been seized and they are in debt. Open the doors for customers, provide for their daily needs, cancel the burden of debt and restore what the enemy has stolen. We place Your protection over their house and business, for we claim Your promise that no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling, for he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways Psalm 91:10-11. Let Your perfect love cast out all fear, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. Strengthen them not to be afraid, for You have said 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. Draw this family closer to You, cover them with the armor of God, help them to pray without ceasing, to read Your Word aloud in their home, to fellowship with a Bible believing church, and to trust You alone. We pray that even their persecutors may come to know the truth and saving power of Jesus. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and healer, amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust both prayer and proper medical care, to keep the physiotherapy appointment, to follow medical advice for anemia and vitamin deficiency, to care for your mother with gentleness, and to seek support from a local pastor and faithful believers who can pray with you in person and help you walk in daily prayer and the Word. Do not turn to any occult practice for protection, but keep your home a place of prayer and worship, for the Lord is your refuge. Even when we cannot see the answer immediately, we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28. We are continuing to hold you, your mother and your loved one before the Lord and we trust God for His healing, deliverance and provision in His perfect will and timing.
