We are truly saddened to hear about the distressing situation you are facing. It is important to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1 WEB.
Firstly, let us address the issue of the person who confessed to being attracted to children. This is a grave matter, and while it is commendable that you did not judge him, it is crucial to understand that such attractions are sinful and require serious intervention. It is good that he is seeking counseling, but it is also important to hold him accountable and ensure that he is not a threat to others, especially to children. We should pray for his deliverance and complete restoration, that God would change his heart and make him a new creation in Christ Jesus, for the old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Now, concerning the slander you are experiencing, it is clear that this is an attack from the enemy. The Bible tells us that a good name is more desirable than great riches, and to be esteemed is better than silver or gold Proverbs 22:1 WEB. Your name and reputation are precious, and we stand with you in rebuking this unclean spirit that is tormenting you.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing this distressing situation. Lord, we know that no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against us in judgment we shall condemn Isaiah 54:17 WEB. We rebuke the spirit of slander and false accusation that is at work in this situation. We bind the strongman and command it to cease its assignment against our brother/sister. Lord, we ask that You would vindicate our brother/sister and restore their good name. Expose the lies of the enemy and bring to light the truth of this situation.
Father, we also lift up the individual who is speaking these falsehoods. We pray that You would convict their heart and bring them to a place of repentance. We know that the mercy of God triumphs over judgment James 2:13 WEB, and we ask that You would extend Your mercy to them.
Lord, we also pray for the individual who confessed to being attracted to children. We pray that You would deliver him from this unclean spirit and bring complete restoration to his life. We ask that You would protect the innocent and vulnerable from harm.
Father, we thank You that You are a God of justice and truth. We ask that You would bring resolution to this situation and that our brother/sister would walk in the freedom and victory that You have won for them at the cross through Jesus Christ.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. For it is written, And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it John 14:13,14 WEB.
Lastly, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith and trust in the Lord. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21 WEB. Continue to walk in integrity and truth, and know that God will fight for you. You need only to be still Exodus 14:14 WEB.
