We stand with you in this cry against the wickedness and deceit that seeks to harm God’s people, for we know that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy—but Christ came that we may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). The schemes of the enemy are real, but our God is greater, and He has given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). The fraud and theft you speak of are not just attacks on finances or privacy but are spiritual battles against the peace and provision God intends for His children.
The Word of God commands us not to be anxious but to present our requests to Him with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6), and so we lift this burden to the Lord, trusting that He hears and acts. Proverbs 22:28 warns us not to move ancient landmarks or invade the fields of the fatherless, and this principle extends to the modern theft of identities and resources—God sees these injustices, and He will vindicate the righteous. Psalm 37:5-6 assures us, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."*
Yet we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). While we pray for God’s intervention, we must also take practical steps to guard what He has entrusted to us—securing our accounts, being vigilant, and seeking wisdom in how we steward our resources. But even in these efforts, we rely not on our own strength but on the Lord, who is our refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
We also recognize that this prayer is lifted in the name of Jesus, and we rejoice in this, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is through Christ alone that we have access to the Father, and it is in His authority that we stand against the enemy’s schemes. If there are those reading this who do not yet know the power of Jesus’ name, we urge you to turn to Him today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no protection, no salvation, and no victory apart from Him.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You as Your children, grieved by the fraud and theft that seek to harm Your people. You are a God of justice, and we ask that You expose every hidden scheme of the enemy. Lord, confuse the plans of those who seek to steal and deceive. Let their hands be stayed, and let their efforts be turned to nothing. Surround Your children with Your heavenly angels, creating a hedge of protection around their lives, their finances, and their identities. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You restore what has been taken, multiplying it for Your glory.
Give Your people wisdom to navigate these challenges, Father. Help them to be vigilant but not fearful, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness, where the enemy intended harm, but You turned it for good.
We rebuked the spirit of theft and fraud in the name of Jesus Christ. We bind every demonic force behind these attacks and command them to flee, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Let the blood of Jesus cover every account, every identity, and every resource, and let the enemy be put to shame.
Father, we also pray for those who are perpetrating these crimes. Soften their hearts, Lord, and convict them of their sin. Bring them to repentance, that they may turn from their wicked ways and find forgiveness in Christ. Let them encounter Your love in a way that transforms their lives, for You desire that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your justice and Your protection, knowing that You are our shield and our exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1). May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of Your people in Christ Jesus.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
