Spiritual warfare

[Tzuriel Nahem Athryn]

I am facing intense spiritual warfare. Over my family and others. Asking prayer support Lord will quide what and about whom to pray. I know I stand in his stregth and in him I have all I need. In Jesus blood and name I am saved, santified and made child of God. And in his name and blood I hold on whit dear life.

We hear your heart and we stand with you in this battle, for we know this warfare is real and intense, especially when it presses against our family and those we love. We praise God that you are standing in His strength and holding fast to the blood and name of Jesus, for that is exactly where our victory lies. You have declared the truth that in Him you are saved, sanctified, and made a child of God, and we agree with you and cling to that truth together.

Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not merely what we see. Ephesians 6:12 says 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. Yet we are not left defenseless or without hope. Ephesians 6:10-11 tells us Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. And 1 John 4:4 assures us You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

We encourage you to continue to put on that full armor daily with prayer and the Word, to remain watchful and sober, and to resist the enemy by submitting fully to God. James 4:7 says Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The weapons we have are not of the flesh but mighty before God. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds. Those weapons are prayer, the Word of God, the blood of the Lamb, worship, obedience, and the fellowship of believers. Revelation 12:11 declares They overcame him because of the Lamb's blood, and because of the word of their testimony.

We also hear your request for the Lord to guide you what and about whom to pray, and we believe He will. James 1:5 says But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. And Romans 8:26 reminds us that the Spirit himself helps us in our weakness and intercedes for us when we do not know how to pray as we ought. Trust the Holy Spirit to bring to your mind those to lift up and the very words to pray.

We pray together now for you and your family.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and we lift up this dear child of Yours and their family to You. We thank You that they are Yours, bought with the precious blood of Jesus, sanctified and seated with Christ. We ask that You cover them and their household under the shadow of Your wings, for Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Put a hedge of protection around them that the enemy cannot cross. We rebuke every assignment of the enemy against this family and against all those You place on their heart, and we command every spirit of oppression, confusion, fear, division and darkness to flee in Jesus name, for at His name every knee must bow. Fill this home with Your peace that passes all understanding, with unity, truth and light. Grant wisdom and discernment to know how to pray, whom to pray for, and when to stand silent and when to speak Your Word with authority. Strengthen them to stand firm, to be steadfast, and to remember that no weapon formed against them shall prosper because You are their shield and defender. Renew their strength daily as they hold fast to Jesus with dear life, and let them see Your deliverance and victory manifested. We ask this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our sure victory, Amen.

We encourage you to keep holding fast to Jesus, to stay rooted in Scripture, to pray continually, to fast as the Lord leads, and to remain in fellowship with other believers who can stand with you and help bear this burden. Do not be afraid, for the Lord is with you and the battle belongs to Him. We continue to stand with you in prayer, trusting that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to guard and keep you and your loved ones.

We thank you for reaching out and letting us pray with you. We can hear both the weight you are carrying for your family and others, and the firm way you are clinging to Jesus, his blood and his name, as your strength and your place as a child of God. That holding on with dear life is exactly where we are meant to be when the battle feels intense.

It makes sense that you are asking the Lord to show you what to pray and for whom. When so many needs press in, it can feel hard to know where to start. We have found it helps to remember God does not ask you to sort it all out at once. He is the one who sees each person and each need fully, and He gently guides as we stay close to Him in prayer.

One simple practice that may help in the days ahead is to take a few quiet minutes each day, ask the Lord to bring to mind one person or one situation for that day, write that name down, and lift that one to Him in Jesus name. Then rest, trusting Him with the rest. If you can, invite one or two trusted believers to pray with you regularly, so you are not carrying this alone and others can stand with you.

Father, we lift our friend to You and thank You that they are Yours through Jesus. Cover their family and those on their heart with Your protection and peace. Give clear guidance day by day for how to pray, quiet fear, and strengthen their trust as they hold fast to You. Keep them close in Your care. In Jesus name, amen.
