We join you in lifting every part of this request before the Lord together in Jesus Name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that we are saved and healed. We thank God that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for as it is written Acts 4:12 there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved, and Romans 10:13 everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
We hear the burden you are carrying with this infection that has not responded to antibiotics, the concern about body odor, the pain in your back and spine and neck, the heaviness on your shoulders, the emotional flatness, and the longing to walk and get to a doctor quickly. We also hear your heart for your son at college and for protection over all those you love and even over your food and drink. We bring all of this to our Healer together.
First we want to gently encourage you about curses and protection. In Christ, every curse is broken. Galatians 3:13 says Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. Colossians 2:15 says He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in the cross. When we are in Christ we do not need to live in fear that a curse remains on us or on our food or on our loved ones. 1 Timothy 4:4-5 teaches that every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. So we thank God and pray over what He provides, and we rest that we are blessed and protected in Him, not because of a formula we pray over objects but because we belong to Jesus. 1 John 4:4 reminds us greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.
We also want to speak lovingly about your desire for prophetic insight, vivid imagination, and a seers anointing. We understand the longing to hear from God and to see clearly. God does give wisdom and discernment, and James 1:5 promises if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But we must test every spirit and every impression against Scripture, for 1 John 4:1 says do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God. True prophetic insight will never contradict the written Word, and God primarily speaks to us through Scripture, by His Holy Spirit illuminating it. We encourage you to seek not mystical experiences but a deeper knowing of Christ through the Word, prayer, and obedience, and to let your imagination be renewed and used for what is pure and holy as Philippians 4:8 encourages, thinking on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely and of good report.
We also hear your confession asking God to forgive anything you may have done to bring this upon you. We praise God for His mercy. 1 John 1:9 says if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If the Holy Spirit brings specific sin to mind, confess it and turn from it, and receive His forgiveness fully. Not every sickness is caused by personal sin, so we do not want you to carry false guilt. Our Lord is compassionate and His heart is to heal and restore.
Regarding healing, we believe God is the Lord who heals us as Exodus 15:26 declares, and Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore you to health, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Psalm 103:2-3 says Praise Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. At the same time, God in His wisdom often uses doctors and medicine as part of His provision. James 5:14-15 encourages calling for prayer and anointing, and we also encourage you to continue to seek medical care without delay. If the antibiotics have not worked, we urge you to follow up promptly, ask for further evaluation, culture or alternative treatment, and do not delay. We pray God will give you strength to walk, clarity where to go, favor to be seen quickly, and wisdom for the doctors to discern the right treatment.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together for our dear one and for the sons and loved ones entrusted to their care. We ask You to forgive every sin confessed and even those not yet seen, to cleanse and wash by the blood of Jesus, and to break and remove every effect of sin and every curse, for Christ has redeemed us. We ask You to place Your hand upon this infection that has lingered. Lord, You know the cause, whether bacterial or other, and You know why antibiotics have not yet prevailed. We ask for Your healing power to work in this body, to cleanse the infection, to remove body odor, to restore health, nourishment and life. Give wisdom and discernment to know what to do, and strength to do it. Guide to the right doctor, open the door to be seen as soon as possible, provide transportation and ability to walk and to speak clearly with the physician, and give the physician insight to prescribe what is truly needed.
We ask for healing of pain in the body, back, spine and neck. Take this heaviness from the shoulders, for Matthew 11:28 invites us Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Lift this burden, Lord, and replace emotional flatness with Your joy and peace. Psalm 42:11 reminds us to hope in God, for we will yet praise Him. Restore vivid thought and imagination for Your glory, renew the mind, and let every thought be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ as 2 Corinthians 10:5 teaches. Guard against any spirit not from You, for You have not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and self-control as 2 Timothy 1:7 says, and let Your protection be over this home, over food and drink received with thanksgiving, and over every person and possession committed to You.
We especially lift the son at college. Psalm 121:7-8 says Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. Keep him, Lord, in purity, safety, and faith, guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and surround him with godly influence. We ask for true happiness that comes from abiding in You, for Philippians 4:6-7 promises the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus when we make our requests known to God.
We ask for prophetic insight that is rooted in Your Word, for true wisdom, for discernment to know Your will, and for nourishment and life to fill this body and spirit. We trust You to heal, to restore, and to lead step by step.
We thank You Father that You hear us when we pray in Jesus Name, and we rest in Your love and Your perfect will. We give You all praise for the healing and protection You are already working. Amen.
