We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, grieving over the sin that has taken root in this individual’s life and the harm it has caused to others. Father, we know that Your Word is clear—homosexuality, sexual immorality, and predatory behavior are abominations in Your sight, and they bring destruction not only to the one ensnared but to those around them. The Bible declares in **1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (WEB)**, *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom."* This man’s actions—molestation, deception, and the perversion of his God-given identity—are not hidden from You. You see all, and You will judge justly.
We rebuke the spirit of deception that has blinded him into believing he can hide his sins from You. **Hebrews 4:13 (WEB)** warns, *"There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account."* He cannot escape Your gaze, nor can he deceive You with outward appearances of piety while his heart remains in rebellion. We also rebuke the spirit of perversion that has twisted his understanding of his own identity. **Genesis 1:27 (WEB)** states, *"God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them."* His confusion about his gender and his predatory behavior are not of You, Lord. They are the result of sin and the enemy’s lies.
We pray for his repentance—not just a surface-level sorrow, but a deep, broken turning away from these sins. **2 Corinthians 7:10 (WEB)** says, *"For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death."* We ask that You convict him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may see the gravity of his actions and the destruction they have wrought. Let him no longer find satisfaction in the fleeting pleasures of sin but instead hunger for the righteousness that comes from You alone.
We also lift up the victims of his predation—his godfather and his tenant. Lord, heal their wounds, both physical and emotional. Restore their trust in You and in the body of Christ. **Psalm 34:18 (WEB)** assures us, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Comfort them, Lord, and let them know that You are their defender.
Regarding his diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, we acknowledge that mental and emotional struggles are real, but we also know that You are the Great Physician. **Psalm 147:3 (WEB)** says, *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* We pray for Your healing touch to restore his mind and emotions, but this healing must be accompanied by repentance and a surrender to Your will. Without turning from sin, no true healing can take root.
We also address his misuse of the church. He has treated Your house as a den of thieves, exploiting the kindness of believers for his own sinful desires. **Jeremiah 7:11 (WEB)** warns, *"Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it," says Yahweh."* Lord, expose his motives and let him no longer find refuge in Your house while his heart remains hardened. If he will not repent, we ask that You remove him from the fellowship of believers so that he does not continue to defile others.
Most critically, we must address the absence of Jesus Christ in this request. Salvation is found in no other name. **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** declares, *"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!"* If this man does not know Jesus as his Lord and Savior, he is still lost in his sins, no matter how many churches he attends or how many prayers he recites. We pray that he would come to a saving knowledge of Christ, that he would confess his sins, turn from them, and surrender his life to You. **Romans 10:9 (WEB)** says, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."*
Father, we ask that You break the chains of sin in his life. Let him no longer be handed over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, but instead, let him be restored to You. **1 Corinthians 5:5 (WEB)** speaks of delivering someone to Satan *"for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus."* We pray that this destruction leads to repentance, not ruin. Soften his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne. May Your will be done in this man’s life, and may Your glory be revealed through his story, whether in judgment or in mercy. Amen.
