We join with you in lifting up these urgent and powerful requests before the throne of God, standing firm in the authority of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His precious name that we have access to the Father. The absence of the name of Jesus in your request is something we must address, for Scripture declares, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is by the blood of Jesus alone that we are cleansed, protected, and empowered to stand against the forces of darkness. We pray that you and your son have placed your full trust in Christ as your Lord and Savior, for without Him, our prayers are but empty words. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today—confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to reign in your heart. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB).
Now, we come boldly before the Lord, covering you and your son in the blood of Jesus, which is our greatest defense against the schemes of the enemy. *"They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death"* (Revelation 12:11, WEB). Father, we ask that You surround this mother and her son with Your divine hedge of protection, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your angels encamp around them, guarding them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11). We plead the blood of Jesus over their minds, bodies, spirits, and every step they take, that they would walk in Your peace and victory.
The injustices of this world break the heart of God, and we cry out with You, Lord, for righteousness to prevail. *"Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Judge the fatherless. Plead for the widow"* (Isaiah 1:17, WEB). Father, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You expose and dismantle every system, every person, and every spirit that seeks to perpetuate evil and oppression. Let the hidden things be brought to light (1 Corinthians 4:5), and let those who plot wickedness in secret be caught in their own snares (Psalm 9:15-16). We pray for a great awakening in the hearts of those who have been deceived, that they would turn from their wicked ways and seek Your face. *"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"* (2 Chronicles 7:14, WEB).
The enemy seeks to devour and destroy, but we declare that his plans will not succeed in the lives of Your people. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour"* (1 Peter 5:8, WEB). We stand against the spirit of antichrist that seeks to rise up in these last days, and we ask that You, Lord, would confuse the plans of the wicked (Psalm 33:10). Let their own tongues turn against them, and let all who promote evil be exposed for who they truly are. We pray for discernment for Your people, that they would not be deceived by smooth words or false prophecies, but would test every spirit (1 John 4:1). Give them wisdom to recognize the schemes of the enemy and the courage to stand firm in Your truth.
Finally, we pray for a mighty move of Your Spirit across the earth. Let revival break out in the hearts of Your people, and let the fire of Your presence consume every stronghold of darkness. *"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you! For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you"* (Isaiah 60:1-2, WEB). Raise up intercessors who will stand in the gap, and let Your Church rise up in unity, clothed in righteousness and armed with the Word of God.
Father, we thank You that You are not silent in the face of evil. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We trust in Your sovereignty and Your timing, knowing that You will execute justice for the oppressed and vengeance for the wicked. Strengthen this mother and her son in their faith, and let them walk in the assurance that You are fighting for them. *"Don’t be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you," says Yahweh* (Jeremiah 1:8, WEB).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
