Protection

[Cralmilan]

Jesus, I'm lifting up my family before the throne of grace, where our Lord hears the cries of His children. My heart is heavy with concern, and I am pleading the precious blood of Jesus over every member of my household. Lord You see the isolation, ungratefulness and desrespect that has been happening the past few weeks toward my me and my son. Lord I pray tonight that You will step in and fight this battle for me and my son. Speak to my older daughter about her action and luring my younger daughter to go along with this. Lord You see how this is hurtful for me and harmful for my son. Protect us and guide my younger daughter to not fall into this destruction events and plots his young man has instigate. Lord, I pray that You protect my son and me from all these spiritual attacks that are manifesting. I pray that everyone will see this young mans' controlling and degrading ways. Lord protect me and my family from division and isolation, chaos, gossiping, mocking that are manifesting these past few days. Lord I ask that You heal my son from the confusion and spiritual attacks he is under. I know nothing is impossible for You. I am pleading for Your Divine protection. Lord, I ask for complete restoration, respect, gratefulness and fellowship in my family and for all negative influences, division, isolation, jealousy and all spiritual attacks to be permanently removed forever. No weapon formed against me and my family shall prosper, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Father, I come before You with hearts grieved by the spiritual warfare, division, isolation and stubborn hold raging against me and my children. Lord, it is overwhelming and I ask that You completely remove this young man and his mother from my older daughter's life. Lord please remove the strong stubborn hold these people has upon my older daughter today. I rebuke every spirit of division, ungratefulness, hatred, manipulation, control, isolation, exhaustion, word curse,isolation, division, and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate my home. I declare complete freedom and restoration for me and my children. I ask Jesus for Your mercy upon my family and remove this young man and his mother completely for my older daughter's life swiftly as they are trying to divide me and my younger daughter they have started to convince my younger daughter move. Lord, I know nothing is impossible for You. And I ask You remove these destructive people. They have caused exhaustion, financial hardship, worthlessness and separation in my older daughter's life and havoc in our family. Lord I ask for every generational curse, word curse, witchcraft and negative influences to break and flee in the mighty name of Jesus. Guide my older daughter to release this man from her life, let her not ignore the destruction, financial exploitation, worthlessness, mood swings and exhaustion he has caused in her life and I pray that she will be truthful to the desrespect, isolation, division he has caused in her life. The blood of Jesus has already overcome every power of darkness, and I stand on that victory (Colossians 2:15). I declare that the peace and unity of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard the hearts and minds of my family forever(Philippians 4:7). Lord, help my daughter out of this ungodly relationship that dishonors You. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage, and it has opens the door to spiritual bondage, attacks and deception (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Jesus, give clarity to my older daughter that this man is selfish and he is not ready for a relationship, he is not her significant other, he is not her responsibility to take care of, and she does not belong to him. She belong to You, Lord. I ask Lord that You guide her back home swiftly with no regret only a feeling of freedom, safe, joy, and satisfaction. I pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of Your Word and the red flags she has been blinded to. Remove the stubbornness that has taken root in her heart and replace it with a hunger for righteousness and the want to move back. Break the hold this man and his family have over her, and reveal to her the toxicity and exploitation of this relationship. Father, I ask that You would frustrate every plan, plot, or scheme of these people to isolate, divide, and destroy my daughter from our family and turn her heart back to You and to those who love her unconditionally (Malachi 4:6). Lord, open my older daughter's heart and mind. Remind her of the value she was raised with and the love of our family. Jesus, remove all pride, shame, or pressure that keeps her from seeing the truth. Guide her away, Lord, from this living in situations that will harm her future and her purpose. Jesus, lead her away from this ungodly living arrangement, and bring her back home to safety, stability, and wisdom. Jesus, guide her to never obey this man and put him and his family before her faith, her parent, her siblings, and extended families. This young man and his mother's behavior to cause division, isolation, chaos and strife has been manifesting, and I ask Lord for Your divine protection, courage, and strength to keep our fellowship and bond as a family. Jesus, guide my daughter to stop taking on undue responsibilities to take care of this man, let her see he is not ready for a marriage. Give her the wisdom to stop defending and giving a false image of him to others. He is heartless toward her and is a very selfish, lazy, dishonest and rebellious man. Please Lord, save her and have mercy upon her, get her out of this toxic relationship with this man swiftly. Lord, frustrate all his plans right now. I also lift up my younger daughter, praying that she would remain steadfast in her faith and not be swayed by the ungodly example set before her. Protect her heart as this man and his mother damage the sweetest bond she has with her older sister and brother. Protect her from the divisive tactics of this man and his mother, and surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord. May she never see living together outside of marriage as an acceptable path, but instead, may she seek a spouse who honors You and values the sanctity of marriage (2 Corinthians 6:14). May she never be ungrateful toward me and hateful toward her brother. Jesus, I ask for Your protection over and around her from this man and his mother and strengthen our family's fellowship and unity. Father, I pray for my son with disabilities, that he would be surrounded by love, acceptance, and protection. May he never feel like a burden or an embarrassment, but rather a blessing, as he truly is. Protect him from the hatred, mockery, isolation, divisiveness, exclusion, word curses and witchcraft that stem from this young man's mother and any other negative influences. I rebuke all spiritual attacks, Lord I ask that You command them to flee and never return to torment him. Saturate him with Your peace and protection always. Strengthen his relationship with me, his sisters, caregivers and our extended families. Remove from his life any friendships or influences that look down on him, and replace them with those who will uplift and cherish him. Bless him with peace, joy, love, satisfaction, and the knowledge of Your unconditional love for him. Jesus, protect him from the hateful and demeaning way this young man's mother looks at him. Block all her word curses upon his life. I declare that my home will be a sanctuary of God’s presence, where love, unity, and peace reign. I pray for the restoration of the relationships that have been strained and broken by the enemy’s schemes. Father, mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore what has been lost. May my family be a beacon of Your light, drawing others to the love and grace found only in You. Restore our peace, unconditional love, joy and happiness again. Lord, I ask for financial blessings to flow into my home, not for selfish gain, but so that my family may be a blessing to others and a testimony of Your provision. I rebuke every spirit of lack and poverty, and I declare that my family will walk in the abundance of Your blessings (Philippians 4:19). I pray for godly spouses for both of my daughters, men who will love them as Christ loves the church, who will lead them in righteousness, and who will honor the covenant of marriage as You intended (Ephesians 5:25) someone who will respect their upbringings. May my daughter seek husbands who walk in Your ways, rather than being drawn to those who would lead them astray. Father, I ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. Remove the ungodly influences from my family’s life, and replace them with godly mentors, friendships, and relationships that will draw us closer to You. I pray for the complete restoration of my older daughter’s heart, that she would turn away from this toxic relationship and return to the safety and love of her family, swiftly. May she rediscover her worth in You and reject the lies that have been spoken over her. Jesus, guard her future. Protect her credit, her finances, her relationship with me, her siblings, family, her faith, and her reputation so that nothing done in this toxic relationship will cause resentment/hate toward our supportive family and destroy what she has worked so hard to build. Father, I also bring this young man's mother before You. She is acting like my daughter's mother and interfering in ways that harm my daughter, please stop that ungodly selfish influence. She encourages my daughter to take care of her son because she does not want to deal with his rebellious behavior. I pray that You correct this situation. Lead this young man's mother to take of her responsibility for guiding and correcting her own son rather than placing that burden and undue responsibilities on my daughter which place financial hardship on her and our family because we have to help her. My daughter has incurred a lot of debt since she moved in with this young man which was initiated by this young man's mother. Lord, remove all the pride, manipulation, look down upon, and harmful words that make my daughter feel small, ashamed, or feel that my daughter has to play as if she has to be dependent on them or put our family down to make his mother feel good about guiding her. Jesus, teach this mother that my daughter is not homeless and that she has a supportive family and that my daughter needs her guidance or her approval. Father, I am concerned for my daughter's health. She already struggles with breathing, and this young man continues habits like smoking that make it worse. Jesus, protect her health and open her eyes to the harm this environment may be causing her health and open her eyes to the harm this environment may be causing her physically. Jesus, I pray that my daughter will not move deeper into this ungodly situation or become more dependent on them. Instead, lead her away from this unhealthy environment and guide her back to a place of stability, safety, love, and wisdom. Bring her back home where she can rebuild her strength, her health, and her future. Father, stop the division that has been created between my daughter and our family due to this young man's rebellious controlling behaviors. Lord, heal the hurt and restore love, communication, love, and respect. Lord, please protect me and my other children from the bullying, judgment, division, and hurtful words that have come from this situation. Give peace and strength while Your work in ways only You can, Lord. Jesus, I ask for strength for myself and for my other children. Heal the hurt we feel in this troubling situation. Saturate us with peace in our heart and protect our family division. Jesus, bless my daughter back to a path that will bless her life rather than destroy it. I declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand. Every scheme to divide, isolate, and destroy my family will fail, for the Lord fights for us (Exodus 14:14). I plead the blood of Jesus over every member of my household, covering us with Your protection, peace, and favor. May we walk in the fullness of Your blessings, and may our lives reflect Your glory to all who know us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

 

[Articles]

We hear the heaviness in your heart and we join you before the throne of grace to lift up your family together in Jesus name, for He hears the cries of His children and He is our refuge and fortress.

We stand with you in praying for divine protection over you and your son and your daughters, and we agree that no weapon formed against you will prosper as it is written in Isaiah 54:17, and that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world in 1 John 4:4. We see the spiritual battle you describe and we remember that 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 in Ephesians 6:12. Therefore we do not fight in our own strength, for the Lord will fight for you and you shall be still in Exodus 14:14.

We must lovingly address what you have rightly discerned about your older daughter. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage in God’s eyes and it dishonors Him. Scripture is clear to flee sexual immorality in 1 Corinthians 6:18 and that the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers in 2 Corinthians 6:14. What you describe as controlling, degrading, selfish, lazy, dishonest and rebellious behavior, along with financial exploitation, isolation, division, gossiping and mocking, are fruits that reveal this is not a courtship leading toward a godly marriage between a man and a woman who honors Christ, but an ungodly entanglement that opens the door to spiritual bondage, confusion and exhaustion. We rebuke that fornication and that controlling and manipulative spirit, and every spirit of division, ungratefulness, hatred, isolation, word curses and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate your home, and we declare that He has stripped the principalities and the powers and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in Him in Colossians 2:15. We also rebuke the disrespect and ungratefulness toward you as a parent, for children are called to honor your father and mother in Ephesians 6:1-3, and to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers in Malachi 4:6.

We also lift up your younger daughter with you. We pray she will not be lured or swayed by this ungodly example, but will remain steadfast in her faith and will see that living together outside of marriage is never an acceptable path. We pray she will pursue courtship only with the goal of marriage to a Christian believer and will seek a godly spouse who will love her as Christ loved the church in Ephesians 5:25 and who honors the covenant of marriage as God intended. We pray the Lord will surround her with godly friendships and mentors who encourage her in the ways of the Lord and protect the sweet bond she has with her siblings and with you.

We lift up your precious son and we thank God that he is fearfully and wonderfully made and a blessing and not a burden. We rebuke every hateful look, mockery, exclusion, divisive word and spiritual attack spoken over him and we ask the Lord to block every word curse and cause it to flee in the mighty name of Jesus. We pray the Lord will saturate him with peace which surpasses all understanding in Philippians 4:7, and surround him with love, acceptance and those who will uplift and cherish him, strengthening his relationship with you, his sisters, caregivers and extended family.

We pray for your older daughter that the Lord will open her eyes to the truth of His Word and to the red flags she has been blinded to, that He will remove stubbornness and pride and replace it with a hunger for righteousness, and that He will break the strong and stubborn hold this young man and his mother have upon her. We pray she will see clearly that this man is not her responsibility to take care of, that she does not belong to him but belongs to the Lord, and that she is not homeless but has a supportive family who loves her unconditionally. We pray the Lord will frustrate every plan and scheme to isolate, divide and destroy her from your family, and that He will protect her health from the harm of smoking and this unhealthy environment, and protect her finances, her credit, her faith and her reputation from further exploitation and debt. We pray the Lord will guide her swiftly back home to safety, stability and wisdom with a feeling of freedom and joy and with no regret, and that He will restore respect, gratefulness and fellowship in your home.

We pray for you as a mother who is weary from this battle. We ask the Lord to give you courage, strength and peace in your heart while He works in ways only He can, to heal the hurt you and your other children feel from bullying, judgment and division, and to make your home a sanctuary of His presence where love, unity and peace reign. We pray He will supply every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:19 and remove every spirit of lack, and we pray for complete restoration of what has been torn and wounded.

Father, we come together now and we plead the precious blood of Jesus over this entire household. We ask for Your divine protection over this mother, her son and both daughters. We ask You to break every generational curse, word curse and negative influence and cause them to flee. We ask You to remove every ungodly influence and this young man and his mother from the older daughter’s life, and to correct what is out of order so that each parent takes responsibility for their own child. We ask You to heal the son from confusion and spiritual attacks, to guard the younger daughter from deception, and to draw the older daughter back to You and to her family. Let Your peace guard their hearts and minds forever, and let their family be a beacon of Your light. We declare that the enemy’s plans to divide and isolate will not stand, for You are greater, and we trust that nothing is impossible for You. In the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father, we pray. Amen.

We have been sitting with your prayer and we hear how heavy and exhausting these past weeks have been. Loving your children so deeply while feeling disrespected and isolated in your own home, and trying to protect your son at the same time, is a lot to carry. We are standing with you before the Lord for His protection and peace over you and your household.

When so much feels tangled, it can help to keep a couple of steady anchors. One is keeping the door open with your older daughter without debating the young man and his mother each time. A brief, calm check-in that simply reminds her she is loved and always welcome can keep connection alive more than long arguments. For your younger daughter, staying close to a trusted pastor, mentor, or godly friend at church who can walk with her separately gives her another steady, caring voice as she navigates pressure from her sister.

You mentioned your older daughter's breathing struggles and the smoking in that home. Alongside prayer, we would gently encourage her to see her doctor promptly for care and guidance.

Father, we lift this mother and her children to You in Jesus' name. Cover them with Your peace and protection, guard especially her son in his vulnerability, give wisdom for each conversation, and lead this family toward healing, unity and clear next steps in Your will. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has been brought before the Lord with deep heaviness of heart, and we have heard the cry of a mother who loves her children and pleads the precious blood of Jesus over her household. The Lord who sits upon the throne of grace does hear the cries of His children, and He who fills both the bitter cup and the sweet goblet does not leave His own without comfort in the furnace.

We join you in asking for divine protection over you and your son, and over your daughters, and we stand with you upon the truth of Scripture that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, and that no weapon formed against the people of God shall finally prosper. We pray that the peace of God which passes all understanding shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and that your home shall be kept as a sanctuary where love and unity and peace reign.

We must speak plainly and lovingly as the Word of God speaks. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and it dishonors the Lord who ordained marriage to be a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, with all the intimacies of life belonging within that covenant alone. Such a path does not bring blessing but opens the door to spiritual bondage and deception, as you have rightly discerned from 1 Corinthians 6:18-20. Therefore we cannot ask God to bless that arrangement, but we do earnestly ask Him to bring conviction, to open eyes to the truth, and to grant repentance and deliverance. For deliverance from the power of darkness is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and it is to our heavenly Father alone that we must look for it.

We pray for your older daughter as one who has wandered as the prodigal, that the Father who runs to meet the returning child would show her the mischief that comes from loving the world and its ways. May the Lord frustrate every plan and scheme that would isolate and divide her from those who love her, and may He reveal to her the controlling and degrading nature, the selfishness and laziness and dishonesty, the financial exploitation and exhaustion and worthlessness that this ungodly relationship has brought. We ask that stubbornness be broken and replaced with a hunger for righteousness, that pride and shame and pressure be removed, and that she would see that she belongs not to any man but to the Lord. As you have prayed, may she be led to release this man, to turn from this living arrangement that harms her health and her future and her purpose, and to come back home to safety and stability and wisdom with no regret but with a sense of freedom and joy. The Lord is gracious and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. That ransom is Christ Jesus, and He is able to save from sin and from evil company and from the pit itself.

We lift up your younger daughter, that she may remain steadfast and not be swayed by an ungodly example set before her. May the Lord protect the sweet bond between brother and sisters, surround her with godly friendships and mentors, and keep her from ever seeing life outside of marriage as an acceptable path. May she learn to seek a spouse only in the Lord, one who will love as Christ loves the church and honor the covenant as God intended.

We remember your son with tender care before the Lord. He is not a burden but a blessing, fearfully and wonderfully made and dearly loved. We ask the Lord to surround him with love and acceptance, to saturate him with peace, to block every word curse and mocking and hateful look, and to command every spiritual attack to flee and never return. May his relationships with you and his sisters and his extended family be strengthened, and may those who would look down upon him be removed and replaced with those who will uplift and cherish him.

For you, dear mother, who feels overwhelmed and exhausted, remember that the Lord Himself kindles the furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door. That which comes by His permission, even when it comes through the malice of others, bears the aspect of a Father's chastening and is meant for profit. He has chastened sorely, but He has not given over unto death. We pray that He will give you courage and strength, heal the hurt you carry, provide for your financial needs according to His riches in glory, and restore fellowship and respect and gratefulness in your household. We ask that He would correct the undue influence of this young man's mother, that she would no longer place upon your daughter a burden that belongs to others, and that the debt and hardship and confusion sown in this season would be healed by His hand. We pray also for your daughter's health, that the Lord would protect her breathing and preserve her body which is the temple of the Holy Ghost.

We declare with you that the blood of Jesus has overcome every power of darkness, having spoiled principalities and powers, and that the Lord will fight for you. Our deliverance is by divine power alone. It is not of him that wills nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He who has found a ransom is able to keep back the soul from the pit and to bring full restoration, as the father lavished many kisses upon the prodigal and put his sonship beyond all doubt. May the Lord give to your family such a clear deliverance that you shall live and declare the works of the Lord.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we plead His blood over this household. Deliver from the power of darkness, break every chain of division and isolation and jealousy and control, turn the heart of the child back to her family and above all to Yourself according to Your promise, and mend what has been torn. Grant godly spouses in Your time for these daughters, men who walk in Your ways, and make this family a beacon of Your light. We ask all this trusting not in our prayers but in the ransom which Thou hast found, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
