We are glad to join you in prayer for strength and breakthrough. WEB First, let us address the power of Jesus name. We are only able to approach God the Father because Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: WEB Because Jesus died for our sins and rose again. When we believe in Jesus to save us from our sins, we are justified before God. Then we can approach God the Father in prayer because Jesus Christ allowed us to have access to God.
God wants us to come to him and find refuge in him. Let's stand on God's word: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1 WEB. We need to go to him and ask him for the ability to get through each day in his strength, not ours. Remember, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 WEB.
You mentioned spiritual oppression and we want to remind you of what the Apostle Paul taught. "For we wrestle 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 WEB. This means since the spiritual realm is the source of this oppression, we need to fight back in the spirit, not in our flesh.
We need to first ensure we are in right standing with Jesus Christ by believing in him and accepting him as Savior. Then we pray in Jesus name. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Ephesians 6:11 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Almighty Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is feeling spiritually oppressed right now. We stand against any form of darkness or evil that may be causing this oppression, and we apply the blood of Jesus over this situation. Lord, you are our strength and our shield; we trust in you with all our hearts. Please uphold our brother/sister and grant them the strength to face each day in your mighty name. Bring breakthrough from this spiritual oppression, and let your light shine in the darkness. We pray that Jesus Christ will be exalted in this situation.
Here is a reminder of the Apostle Paul's prayer for strength and power. "that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:16-19 WEB.
