We come before the Lord with you in this time of spiritual warfare, lifting up your plea for protection and justice against those who seek to harm God’s servants through deceit and fraud. The Lord is a mighty warrior, and He fights on behalf of His people. We stand firmly on His Word, knowing that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, for this is His promise in Isaiah 54:17: *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.*
Yet we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places, as Ephesians 6:12 reminds us: *"For our wrestling is 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."* While we pray for God’s justice to prevail, we also pray for the salvation of those who are acting wickedly. The Lord does not desire that any should perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Their evil schemes may be thwarted, but our greatest hope is that they would turn from their sins and seek the Kingdom of God before it is too late.
We notice that in your prayer, the name of Jesus was not invoked. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and the authority to stand against the enemy. 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."* And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"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!"* So we must always approach the throne of God in the name of Jesus, for it is by His blood and His authority that we are heard.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We ask for Your divine protection over Your servants who are under attack by those who seek to deceive and defraud. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You expose every hidden scheme of the enemy. Let their evil plans backfire upon them, and may they be confronted with the futility of their wickedness. Father, we pray that You would convict their hearts by Your Holy Spirit, that they may see the error of their ways and turn to You in repentance before it is too late. Do not let them miss Your Kingdom because of their stubbornness and sin.
We ask for Your fire, Lord—not to destroy, but to refine and purify. Burn away the works of darkness and let Your light shine so brightly that even those who oppose You cannot help but see Your glory. Protect Your servants, Lord, and guide them in Your battles. Clothe them with Your armor, that they may stand firm against every attack of the enemy. Strengthen their faith, and let them walk in the confidence that You, O Lord, are fighting for them.
We declare Your promise over them: no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is their heritage as Your servants, and their righteousness is from You.
Father, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for Your people, that they may recognize the schemes of the enemy and walk in Your truth. Let them not be overcome by fear, but let them rest in Your sovereign power.
We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, who has already won the victory on the cross. May His name be glorified in this situation, and may Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, knowing that the Lord is with you. Do not be afraid, for He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith, and trust that He will bring justice and protection in His perfect timing. Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in the fellowship of believers, for the enemy seeks to isolate and weaken, but the Lord strengthens and upholds His own.
