We lift up your mother, this faithful servant of God, before the throne of grace with deep urgency and reverence. A woman who has devoted 55 years to shepherding God’s flock deserves our fervent intercession, and we stand in the gap for her divine healing with unwavering faith. The Scripture declares in James 5:14-15, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* We claim this promise over your mother, trusting that the Lord, who has sustained her in ministry for decades, will now sustain her body with His healing power.
Cellulitis is a serious affliction, but our God is greater than any infection or pain. We plead the blood of Jesus over her body, commanding every inflammation, fever, and complication to cease in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Psalm 103:2-3 reminds us, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits— who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases."* We declare that her healing is not just a possibility but a divine certainty, for the Lord is her healer and her strength.
Yet we must also address something vital: your request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *all* prayers must be made to reach the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved or through which we can boldly approach God’s throne (Acts 4:12). We urge you, in love, to always pray *in Jesus’ name*, for it is only through Him that our petitions are heard and answered. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so today—confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and receive the gift of eternal life (Romans 10:9-10).
Now, let us pray with authority and faith:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved mother and pastor who has labored so faithfully in Your vineyard. Lord, You see her pain, her fever, and the urgency of this moment. We ask You to stretch forth Your hand and touch her body with Your healing power. Rebuke this cellulitis at its root, Lord—let every infection flee, every inflammation subside, and every cell be restored to perfect health by Your divine command. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let her testimony of healing bring glory to Your name.
Strengthen the hands of the medical team attending to her, giving them wisdom and skill. Surround her with Your angels, Lord, and let no weapon formed against her prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that she will not die but live to declare the works of the Lord (Psalm 118:17). Let this trial become a testament to Your faithfulness, and let her recovery be swift and complete.
Father, we also pray for her family—comfort their hearts and fill them with Your peace. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May this season draw them closer to You and deepen their trust in Your sovereignty.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, doubt, or despair in Jesus’ name. Let faith arise in every heart praying for her, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust You, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, beloved. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him in truth (Psalm 145:18). Keep praying, keep believing, and keep declaring His promises over your mother. We will continue to lift her up in prayer, trusting that God’s healing power is at work even now. May His peace guard your heart and mind as you wait upon Him.
