Please pray for me to no longer support or text ### in ###. He has not once said thank you to me for encouraging him & his u-tube. He's making a ton of money being deceitful. It needs to be cancelled & exposed.
 
We understand your frustration and the heaviness of supporting someone who shows no gratitude, especially when their actions seem deceitful and ungodly. The Bible warns us about enabling or associating with those who walk in dishonesty, for it can corrupt our own hearts and witness. Proverbs 22:24-25 says, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* Similarly, 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 urges us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness? ... ‘Therefore come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you."*

Your desire to distance yourself from this person is wise, especially if their actions are rooted in deceit and ungratefulness. The Bible also speaks strongly against greed and dishonest gain. Proverbs 10:2 tells us, *"Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death."* And in 1 Timothy 6:10, we are warned, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* If this person is profiting from deceit, it is not of God, and their actions will ultimately be exposed by Him. Proverbs 16:11 assures us, *"Honest balances and scales are Yahweh’s; all the weights in the bag are his work."* God sees all, and He will bring justice in His timing.

However, we must also examine our own hearts in this situation. While it is right to step away from ungodly influences, we are called to love our enemies and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean enabling their sin, but it does mean releasing bitterness and trusting God to handle the situation. Romans 12:19-21 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’ Therefore ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.’ Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."*

As for your request to have this person’s platform "cancelled and exposed," we must be cautious. While it is natural to want justice, we are not called to be the executors of it. Instead, we are to trust that God will handle it in His way and time. Psalm 37:5-7 encourages us, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen."* If this person’s deceit is as clear as you describe, God will expose it—whether through consequences, conviction, or the revelation of truth. Our role is to pray for their repentance and to trust God’s sovereignty.

We also notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently remind you that it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. 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 in John 16:23-24, He tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* There is power in the name of Jesus, and it is through Him alone that our prayers are heard.

Let us pray together for you and this situation:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is burdened by the ungratefulness and deceit of another. Lord, we ask that You give her the strength and wisdom to step away from this ungodly influence, for You have called us to be separate from the ways of the world. Father, we pray that You would guard her heart from bitterness and fill her with Your peace as she releases this situation into Your hands.

Lord, we also lift up this person who is walking in deceit and greed. Father, we ask that You would convict their heart and draw them to repentance. Expose the darkness in their life, not for their destruction, but for their redemption. Let them see the emptiness of their ways and turn to You, the only source of true fulfillment. If it is Your will, bring their actions to light in a way that glorifies You and leads others to truth.

Father, we ask that You would provide our sister with godly relationships—people who will encourage her, appreciate her, and walk in integrity. Surround her with believers who will spur her on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). Give her discernment in all her interactions, that she may honor You in every relationship.

We rebuked any spirit of ungratefulness, deceit, or greed that may be at work in this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against our sister will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would break any ungodly ties or soul ties that may have formed through this relationship. Set her free, Lord, and let her walk in the freedom and joy of Your presence.

Finally, Father, we thank You that You are just and righteous. We trust that You see all things and that You will act in Your perfect timing. Help our sister to release any desire for vengeance and to rest in Your promise that You will repay. Fill her with Your love, even for those who have mistreated her, and let her be a light in the darkness.

We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this matter. Spend time in His Word, especially in passages that speak of wisdom, relationships, and trusting God’s justice (such as Psalm 37, Proverbs 3, and Romans 12). If you feel led, you may also gently confront this person about their lack of gratitude and deceit, but do so with a heart of love and a goal of restoration (Galatians 6:1). However, if they are unwilling to listen, it is wise to distance yourself and focus on the relationships that honor God.

Remember, your worth is not found in the gratitude of others but in the love of Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Keep serving the Lord faithfully, and trust that He sees and rewards your obedience.
 
We're here for you, dear friend. It's tough when our kindness is met with ingratitude, especially when it's accompanied by deceit. It's like pouring out our best wine, only to have it spat back in our face. But remember, we're not called to force people to drink; we're called to pour out, trusting God with the results.

Let's pray together, shall we? "Father, we lift up this situation to You. Give our sister the strength to step away from this ungrateful and deceitful influence. Guard her heart from bitterness and fill her with Your peace. Lord, we also pray for this person. Convict their heart, draw them to repentance. Expose the darkness in their life, not for their destruction, but for their redemption. If it's Your will, bring their actions to light in a way that glorifies You and leads others to truth.

Father, surround our sister with godly relationships. Give her discernment in all her interactions, that she may honor You in every relationship. We rebuke any spirit of ungratefulness, deceit, or greed at work here. Set her free, Lord, and let her walk in the freedom and joy of Your presence.

We trust that You see all things, and we release any desire for vengeance. Fill her with Your love, even for those who have mistreated her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Keep seeking the Lord in this matter. Spend time in His Word, especially in passages about wisdom, relationships, and trusting God's justice. If led, gently confront this person, but do so with a heart of love and a goal of restoration.

Remember, your worth is not found in the gratitude of others, but in the love of Christ. Keep serving the Lord faithfully, and trust that He sees and rewards your obedience. You're not alone in this. We're praying with you, for you.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting this burden before the Lord alongside you. The struggle of pouring into someone who does not acknowledge your kindness—or worse, takes advantage of it—can feel deeply discouraging, even wounding. We’ve been praying that God would guard your heart from bitterness, replace your frustration with His peace, and give you wisdom in how to navigate this relationship in a way that honors Him. It’s not easy to watch ungratefulness or deceit go unchecked, but we trust that the Lord sees all things and will act in His perfect timing and justice.

If the Lord has brought resolution—whether through a change in this person’s heart, clarity for you in how to proceed, or even the closure of this chapter—we’d love for you to share a praise report so we can rejoice with you. If the weight of this situation still feels heavy, please don’t hesitate to post an update so we can continue to intercede for you. We’re reminded of how Jesus, though He was reviled, did not revile in return but entrusted Himself to the One who judges justly (1 Peter 2:23). May you find strength in that same surrender, knowing God is your defender and reward.

We’re standing with you in prayer, trusting that the Lord will either redeem this situation or redeem *you* through it. May He fill you with His grace to release what you cannot control and cling to what is true—His faithfulness never fails. Praying for His peace to flood your heart as you seek Him above all else. In Jesus Name.
