We have heard your cry and we join with you in seeking the Lord for justice, protection, and deliverance in Jesus' name. We understand your deep anger over having your inheritance stolen and then seeing it wasted on drugs, alcohol, and sexual immorality. It is right to be grieved by theft and by such open sin, and God sees all that has been done to you.
The Lord is clear about these sins. You shall not steal, Exodus 20:15, and all sexual immorality outside of marriage between a man and a woman is sin before God. The Bible says to flee sexual immorality, 1 Corinthians 6:18, and that marriage is to be held in honor among all and the marriage bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4. Witchcraft and sorcery are also an abomination to the Lord, Deuteronomy 18:10-12, and are listed among the works of the flesh that keep men from the kingdom of God, Galatians 5:19-21. When churches refuse to correct such things they fail in their calling, for we are told to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather to reprove them, Ephesians 5:11, and to restore a brother in gentleness while not tolerating open unrepentant sin, Matthew 18:15-17.
We also hear your pain about the constant harassment and threats, and your feeling that this man will never repent and that people defend him. While your desire for freedom from harassment is righteous, we want to gently correct two areas where bitterness can take root. First, though your anger is understandable, we must guard our hearts so that anger does not become sin. Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil, Ephesians 4:26-27, and human anger does not produce the righteousness of God, James 1:20. Second, we must not declare that anyone is beyond repentance. God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, 1 Timothy 2:4, and while we do not excuse this man's wickedness, we are called to pray even for those who persecute us, Matthew 5:44, because no heart is too hard for God to change. To say he will never repent limits the power of God who delivered even the most hardened.
We also encourage you to speak about sin truthfully but without degrading language that can harden your own heart. Using terms that demean others, even when describing real fornication and adultery, can keep anger and contempt alive in us. We are to let our speech be with grace, seasoned with salt, Colossians 4:6, while still calling sin what it is.
We believe God will be your defender and deliverer as you saw in your vision of being delivered from Pharaoh. The Lord said to Israel, Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, Exodus 14:13, and Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still, Exodus 14:14. Vengeance belongs to God alone. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord, Romans 12:19. That means we do not take revenge into our own hands, but we can and should seek lawful protection and justice. The authorities are appointed by God to punish wrongdoers, Romans 13:4, so we encourage you to document the theft and the harassment and threats, to seek wise Christian legal counsel regarding the stolen inheritance, and to contact law enforcement if you are being threatened or harassed, so that the matter is handled lawfully. We also encourage you to seek fellowship in a faithful Bible believing church that will not excuse sin but will stand with you in prayer and truth. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual forces of wickedness, Ephesians 6:12, so we must put on the full armor of God and stand firm in Christ.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, Acts 4:12, and through Him we have access to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the theft, the waste, the witchcraft, the sexual immorality, the slander and threats that have been done. You see this harassment and You are a refuge for the oppressed. We ask that You surround our brother with Your protection as promised, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, Psalm 91:1, and that You would command Your angels concerning him to guard him. Lord, deliver him from this Pharaoh-like oppression as You delivered Israel with a mighty hand. Let no weapon formed against him prosper, Isaiah 54:17, and let the harassment and threats cease. Lord, we ask for justice according to Your will. If it is Your will, restore what was stolen, for You have said I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, Joel 2:25, and bring conviction and lawful consequences for theft and abuse. Keep his heart from bitterness and guard him from hatred, create in him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him, Psalm 51:10, and help him to forgive as You have forgiven us, while still trusting You to judge righteously. We pray for this man who has harmed him, that You would convict him of his sin and bring him to repentance, for You are not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9, but if he continues to refuse You, we ask that You restrain his evil and keep him far from Your child. The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles, Psalm 34:17. Hear our cry, Lord, and deliver and bring peace and freedom. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, in the Word, and in seeking wise godly counsel and lawful help. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who is your deliverer, and trust that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ, Philippians 1:6.
