We join with you in praying for the salvation of this young woman in ### and her mother in ### and their friends who are involved in psychic practices, and we thank you for praying in the name and precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, for there is power in His name and in His blood to save and to deliver.
We are encouraged by your heart for the lost and your standing on Psalm 91:14-15 which says Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. How beautiful that God promises to answer those who call on His name.
We also want to lovingly address the matter of psychic involvement, because Scripture is very clear that seeking after psychics, mediums, spiritists and fortune tellers is not from God and is forbidden. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. And Leviticus 19:31 says Do not turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Do not seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God. Isaiah 8:19 also warns Should not a people seek their God Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living. These practices open doors to deceiving spirits, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light as we see in 2 Corinthians 11:14, and they keep people from the true source of truth and life which is Jesus alone.
Our heart is that each of these loved ones would be set free from deception and come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. God desires all people to be saved as 1 Timothy 2:3-4 tells us This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. And 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 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 Acts 4:12 declares There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus as 1 Timothy 2:5 tells us, so we do not need psychics or spirits to speak to God, we come directly through Jesus and His precious blood shed for us according to 1 Peter 1:18-19.
So we pray together with you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and through His precious blood. We lift up this daughter in ### and her mother in ### and each of their friends who are entangled in psychic practices. Lord, we ask that You open their eyes to see the deception and the emptiness of those practices and turn their hearts to You. Convict them of sin and draw them to repentance. Reveal to them that Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. Wash them in the blood of Jesus, forgive their sins, and save them by Your grace. Deliver them from every familiar spirit and every work of darkness, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Cause them to hunger for Your Word and to know Your name and call upon You, that You may answer and deliver and honor them as You have promised. We pray that You would place true believers in their paths to share the gospel with love and truth, and that they would confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that You raised Him from the dead according to Romans 10:9. Bring them into Your family and make them new creations in Christ. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to intercede faithfully for them and if the Lord gives you opportunity, to share the gospel gently with them, showing them that God offers real guidance, comfort and hope through His Word and His Spirit, not through psychics. Keep standing on the promises of God for their salvation, for He is faithful to hear our prayers when we ask according to His will.
