We stand with you and your family in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we thank you for acknowledging Him as Lord, healer and fortress, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that every knee must bow.
We hear the weight of these past two years, the deep pain and continuous hurdles and severe medical challenges that have worn on you physically, mentally and financially, and we hear the fear that ungodly powers or spiritual forces are seeking revenge and harm against your household. Your understanding is correct that our struggle is spiritual, as it is written in Eph 6:12 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. Yet we want to encourage you that while the battle is real, the victory is already secured and the enemy has no authority that God has not allowed and cannot stand against the blood of Jesus.
We want to gently correct the fear that these forces can ultimately break you, because fear itself can give the enemy a foothold. Scripture tells us in 1 John 4:4 that you are of God and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. And in 2 Tim 1:7 we are reminded that God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. The enemy may harass and oppress, but he cannot possess or ultimately destroy those who are covered by Christ, for in James 4:7 we are told to be subject therefore to God, but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. No weapon formed against you will finally prosper as promised in Isaiah 54:17 when you abide in Him.
We encourage you to daily put on the full armor of God described in Eph 6:10-18, to stand firm in truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation and the Word of God, and to pray in the Spirit at all times. Continue to seek wise medical care, for God often heals through the hands of physicians, and lean on the fellowship of a Bible believing church so you are not carrying this burden alone. Bring every anxious thought to Him in prayer, as Phil 4:6-7 urges us in nothing to be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, to let our requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We join our faith with yours now and pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear family to You. Lord You see the hidden burdens they carry, the sleepless nights, the medical reports, the financial strain and the mental exhaustion. You are our refuge and fortress, and we ask that You cover them under Your wings as Psalm 91:1-2 declares, he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, we will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust. Lord we ask You to command Your angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways.
In the name of Jesus we rebuke every spiritual force of darkness, every assignment of harm, revenge, sickness and oppression that has been sent against this family, and we declare that it must flee and cannot remain where Christ reigns. We ask You to break every chain and cancel every plan of the enemy, for You are faithful and You will guard them from the evil one according to 2 Thess 3:3. Touch their bodies with Your healing hand, restore their health, renew their minds and give them sound sleep and peace, and provide for every financial need according to Your riches in glory. Strengthen their faith so that fear is replaced with perfect trust, for You have promised in Isaiah 41:10 do not be afraid, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
We thank You Lord that even in this painful season You are working for good as Rom 8:28 promises that we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Let them feel Your nearness today, for Psalm 34:17 says the righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Sustain them day by day and let Your joy be their strength until the breakthrough comes. We ask all this in the powerful and healing name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
