We hear your heart and we lift you up together before the Lord, bringing every part of your burden to Him, your overdraft and debt, your phone bill and the lines on your screen, your sickness in your body, and the spiritual battle you are facing.
We want to gently and lovingly address what you shared about trying to get out of the pornographic cycle. The Word of God is clear that pornography is sexual immorality and lust, which is sin against God and against your own body. Jesus said in Matthew 5:28 that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart, and we are told in 1 Corinthians 6:18 to flee sexual immorality, for every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. God designed sexual intimacy to be only within marriage between a man and a woman, and any sexual activity outside of that, including lust and pornography, is fornication. This does open a door to spiritual oppression and keeps us in bondage, but there is forgiveness and freedom in Christ. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness in 1 John 1:9. We encourage you to repent before God, to turn away completely, to remove access and put filters and accountability in place, and to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ as in 2 Corinthians 10:5. God has promised in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that he will with his faithfulness make a way of escape that you may be able to endure it.
We also hear your prayer to have every demonic attack out of your body. We know our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in Ephesians 6:12, yet we have victory in Jesus. James 4:7 tells us to be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil and he will flee from you. As we submit our lives to God, turn from sin, and walk in obedience, we can resist the enemy in the authority of Jesus. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world in 1 John 4:4. We pray for your deliverance and for your mind to be renewed by the Word of God daily.
For your financial needs, your overdraft, debt and phone bill, we know God cares about even the practical details of our lives. We are called to be diligent and good stewards, and to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well in Matthew 6:33. Our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:19, and we are reminded in Hebrews 13:5 to be content with what we have for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you. We encourage you to bring your finances to the Lord with a humble budget, faithful work, honesty, and contentment, trusting Him to provide as you walk in wisdom.
For your health and for the lines on your screen and being unwell, we pray for the Lord's healing and care. He is the one who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases in Psalm 103:3. We encourage you also to seek appropriate medical care as God often heals through those means, and to rest in His peace.
We noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Jesus 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 salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12. To be saved we must believe in our heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord as in Romans 10:9. It is because of His death and resurrection that our sins are forgiven and our prayers are heard. We come to the Father only through Him.
We pray together now.
Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, asking for Your mercy and grace upon our dear one who is burdened. Lord we confess and repent on his behalf for any sexual immorality and lust, and we ask You to forgive and cleanse him through the blood of Jesus. Break the chains of the pornographic cycle and set him free, renew his mind, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit so that he may walk in purity and holiness. We resist the enemy in Jesus name and command every demonic attack and oppression to leave, and we ask You to fill this body which is a temple of Your Spirit with Your peace and presence. Father, we ask You to provide for his financial needs, to give wisdom to get out of debt and overdraft, to pay his phone bill, and to meet every need according to Your riches. Guide his hands in stewardship and diligence. Touch his body and heal him where he is unwell, restore his health and strength, and help with the lines on his screen as a practical need You care about. Help him to cast all his anxiety on You because You care for him, and let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus as in Philippians 4:7. Draw him close to Jesus, let him know assuredly that Jesus is Lord and Savior, and give him faith to trust You fully for deliverance, provision and healing. We ask this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
We encourage you to stay in the Word daily, to pray continually in Jesus name, to find a faithful Bible believing church and a trusted mature Christian for accountability, and to keep bringing every need to the Lord with thanksgiving. God is faithful and He will bring you through.
