Spiritual Attack

[Chruadararr]

I got a new job, an answer to prayer, for deliverance from debt and to have an abundance to bless many, by Gods grace. However, there is extreme warfare taking place, & deals r blow up, effecting confidence & income. I need warriors praying, that nothing will stand in the way of extreme success in this new role, that deals will come so smoothly/without issues, that it will be a very clear testament of Gods provision & that no one can use logic to explain the level of deals i have weekly

We rejoice with you that God has answered prayer and opened the door to this new job, and we understand your desire to be delivered from debt and to have abundance to be a blessing to many, which is a godly desire when our hearts seek first His kingdom. We stand with you now as warriors in Christ against this extreme warfare you are experiencing where deals are blowing up and your confidence and income are being affected.

We want to remind you of the true nature of this battle, for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, and to bring doubt when God has clearly provided. Yet we are not without hope or weapons, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4. Therefore we encourage you to put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11, to remain steadfast in faith, diligent and with integrity in your work, for whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23.

We also gently point out that your request mentions God's grace and God's provision but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. 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. It is by the blood of Jesus that we have authority to resist the devil and to come boldly before the throne of grace. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, for that is the foundation of every answered prayer and every victory in spiritual warfare.

We also encourage you to keep your heart anchored in God's purposes for provision. You shall remember Yahweh your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth Deuteronomy 8:18, and My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. God does delight to provide for His children, but His provision is not always measured by logic defying weekly deals, but by His perfect will which works all things together for good for those who love Him Romans 8:28. We pray not simply for extreme success as the world defines it, but for God glorifying success that keeps you humble, dependent, and generous.

We pray together now for you.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we thank You for Your grace in providing this new job for our brother. We thank You that You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Lord, we take authority in Jesus name over every spiritual attack, every scheme and hindrance that is causing deals to blow up and sowing discouragement. We pray that You would rebuke the devourer on his behalf and command the enemy to flee as he submits himself to You, for Your word says Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. We ask for Your divine favor, wisdom, and discernment in every deal and conversation, that You would open doors no man can shut and give him words and strategies that honor You. Let Your hand be so evident upon his work that it testifies to Your provision and power, not merely to human logic or effort. Strengthen his confidence not in himself but in Christ, guard his heart from anxiety, and help him to be diligent, honest, and excellent in all he does. Provide for every financial need, deliver him from the burden of debt, and make him a generous channel of blessing to many as You entrust him with more. Let this season refine his faith and draw him closer to You. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our victory, amen.

We thank God with you for this new job and for how you have seen His hand in opening the door after praying for provision. It makes sense that when an answer finally comes, and then deals start falling through, your confidence and your finances feel the strain. Wanting this work to be a clear display of His care for you and for others you hope to bless is a good and generous desire.

We are standing with you in prayer that the Lord would guard your work and make a way where things now feel blocked. While you walk through this pressure, it can help to have both spiritual and practical support close by. One step that often steadies people in a demanding new role is to ask one or two trusted believers to pray with you regularly by name for specific deals and decisions, and to also identify a wise colleague or mentor in your field who can review your process with you so you are not carrying the weight alone.

Father, we bring our brother before You in Jesus name. Guard his heart from discouragement, give him wisdom and steadiness in each conversation and deal, and provide for his needs according to Your kindness. Let him know Your nearness and direction day by day, and use his work for good. Amen.

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

We have heard your request and we bring it before the Lord with you, giving thanks that He has graciously opened a door for this new work in answer to prayer. To seek deliverance from debt and to desire abundance that you might bless many is a holy aim when it is laid at the feet of Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and all good provision.

You speak of warfare and of deals that break and of confidence and income being shaken. In this you walk a path well trodden by the patriarch Job. Scripture testifies that in all his losses Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. He arose and tore his mantle and fell upon the ground and worshipped. He had heard of God, but in the furnace he came to a more vivid apprehension of Him, and though the Lord seemed to frown, Job learned childlike confidence and at last yielded his pleadings, confessing that God must be right. So let us do as Job did and draw near even when the way is dark, not with unbelieving speeches, but with patience and trust that He who appoints the trial is able to support you through it.

Be assured that our longest sorrows have a close and there is a bottom to the profoundest depths of our misery. The Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, and in that turning Satan was defeated and foiled with his own weapons. Your bow need not lose its force by use, for the Lord can renew the bow in your hand and cause your glory to be fresh in you, anointing you with fresh oil for each day's labour. He can restore and even double what has been tried, but His first purpose is that you should know Him more nearly and that your confidence should be set not upon weekly deals but upon the faithful God who provides.

We will stand as those you have asked for, as warriors in prayer, and we do not restrain prayer before God.

We pray that the Lord would guard your heart from charging Him foolishly when deals fail, and grant you the spirit of Job who could say, Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. We ask that He would give you wisdom and diligence and favour in this new role, and that He would provide for your needs and deliver you from the burden of debt according to His abundant grace. We ask that He would open right doors and close wrong ones, and that any success granted would be clearly seen as His hand, not for boasting but for testimony, that you may indeed have to give and to bless many. Above all we pray that whether by smooth provision or by sanctified disappointment, Christ would be magnified in you, your faith made stronger, and your life a witness that God is just and good and worthy of all trust. May He keep you from measuring His love by income, and may He establish you in patient endurance until His good purpose is fulfilled.

We continue to bear you before the throne, asking that He who began a good work will perfect it in His own time and for His own glory.
