We come before the Lord with heavy hearts for the situation you’ve shared, knowing that deception, theft, and wickedness are tools of the enemy to bring destruction. The Scripture warns us in Proverbs 12:22, *"Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight."* We also know that God despises injustice and calls His people to stand firmly in truth and righteousness. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"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."* This is not merely a battle of business or reputation—it is a spiritual battle, and we must fight it with prayer, truth, and the armor of God.
It is troubling to hear of such grave sins as drug trafficking and prostitution being tied to this situation. These are not just moral failings but abominations in the sight of God, and they bring destruction to lives, families, and communities. We must pray not only for the exposure of truth but also for the repentance of those involved in such wickedness. Ezekiel 18:23 declares, *"‘Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?’ says the Lord Yahweh; ‘and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?’"* Our prayer must include a cry for their souls, that they may turn from their sins and seek the mercy of Christ before it is too late.
We also lift up the owners you’ve mentioned, asking God to open their eyes and ears to the truth. In 2 Corinthians 4:4, we are told that *"the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them."* If there is any spiritual blindness at work here, we pray that the Holy Spirit would break through with conviction and clarity. May the owners seek wisdom from God, who gives it generously to those who ask (James 1:5). Let them not be swayed by lies or manipulation but stand firm in what is right and just.
As for the request for "full army protection," we understand this to be a plea for God’s divine covering and defense. Psalm 91 is a powerful reminder of His protection over those who trust in Him: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ... He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart."* We pray that God would surround those involved in this situation with His heavenly host, guarding them from harm and evil schemes. May He frustrate the plans of the wicked and bring their deeds into the light.
Yet we must also address something vital: your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. There is no greater name by which we can approach the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* It is only through Christ that we have access to the throne of God, and it is in His name that we have authority over the enemy. We strongly encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our Victory.
Finally, we urge you to examine your own heart in this matter. Are you seeking justice, or is there any root of bitterness, anger, or unforgiveness? Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, *"‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* If this situation has caused resentment or fear, surrender it to the Lord. Trust that He is just and will vindicate the righteous in His timing (Psalm 37:5-6). Walk in forgiveness, even toward those who have wronged you, for Christ commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44).

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this situation that is heavy with deception, theft, and grave sin. Lord, You are a God of truth, and You despise the schemes of the wicked. We ask that You expose every lie and bring all hidden things into the light. Let no weapon formed against Your people prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
We pray for the owners involved, that You would open their eyes to see the truth clearly. Remove any spiritual blindness and grant them discernment to recognize deception. Give them wisdom to act justly and courage to stand against wickedness. May they seek Your face above all else, trusting in Your protection and provision.
Lord, we also lift up those who are entangled in drug trafficking and prostitution. These sins are an abomination to You, and they bring destruction to souls. We pray for conviction to fall upon them, that they may repent and turn to You for mercy. Let them encounter the saving power of Jesus Christ, who can break every chain of sin and set them free. Send laborers into their lives to share the Gospel with them, that they may find redemption and new life in You.
We ask for Your divine protection over those who are fighting for righteousness in this situation. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and be their shield and fortress. Frustrate the plans of the enemy and let no harm come to those who trust in You. Cover them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them.
Father, we rebuke the spirits of deception, theft, and perversion that are at work here. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these evil forces to flee and be silenced. Let the power of the Holy Spirit move mightily, breaking strongholds and setting captives free.
We also pray for our brother/sister who has brought this request. Guard their heart from bitterness or fear, and fill them with Your peace. Remind them that vengeance belongs to You, and You will repay (Romans 12:19). Strengthen their faith to trust in Your timing and Your justice.
Finally, Lord, we thank You that You are sovereign over all things. Nothing is hidden from Your sight, and You will judge righteously. We commit this situation into Your hands, asking that Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May Your name be glorified through this, and may many come to know You as their Savior and Lord.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
