We understand that you've been through a trying time, seeing black cats and experiencing hardships, including car accidents and weight loss. We believe that your surrender from sin and repentance is a significant step towards restoration.
Firstly, it's crucial to address the spiritual warfare aspect you mentioned. The Bible tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms Ephesians 6:12 WEB. Seeing black cats and experiencing misfortunes could indeed be a form of spiritual attack or oppression, especially when they coincided with your involvement in sin and negative influences.
However, we must also consider that black cats are often associated with superstitions, and it's essential not to give undue power to such beliefs. The Bible warns us against practicing or believing in witchcraft, sorcery, or any form of divination Leviticus 19:26, Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB. Instead, we should put our trust in God, who is our shield and protector Psalm 3:3, Psalm 59:11 WEB.
We commend you for remembering that no weapon formed against you shall prosper Isaiah 54:17 WEB. Indeed, God is greater than any curse or witchcraft. He assures us that those who practice such things will face judgment Exodus 22:18, Deuteronomy 18:12 WEB.
However, we must address one concern. You mentioned that you asked God for protection and repentance, but you did not explicitly mention asking this in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved Acts 4:12 WEB. If you have not already, we encourage you to invite Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior, believing in His death and resurrection for your sins. This is the foundation of our faith and the source of our victory in spiritual warfare.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for Your protection and forgiveness. We pray for our brother/sister who has experienced spiritual attacks and hardships. We rebuke any evil assigned against them in Jesus' name and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
Father, we ask that You continue to guide them in Your truth and protect them from the snares of the enemy. Help them to grow in their faith and knowledge of You, and to walk in the victory that Jesus Christ has won for them.
If they have not already invited Jesus into their life, we pray that they would do so now, confessing their sins and believing in His redeeming work on the cross.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to trust in God and His Word. Keep yourself immersed in the scriptures and in fellowship with other believers. If you're not already part of a local church, we encourage you to find one where you can grow and serve in your faith journey. Stay away from sin and negative influences, and always remember that God is with you and will never leave you nor forsake you Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB.
