We join you in lifting up these deep and troubling concerns before the Lord, knowing that He alone is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Your heart’s cry for deliverance and protection is heard by our Heavenly Father, who sees the spiritual battles raging around us and is mighty to save. We praise you for calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is through Him alone that we have access to the throne of grace.
First, we must address the spiritual warfare you describe with urgency and clarity. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have life, and have it abundantly. The attacks you mention—whether through drug dealers, spiritual corruption, or those who seek to exploit your faith—are not beyond the power of God. The Word tells us in Ephesians 6:12, *"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."* You are not fighting this battle alone; the Lord is with you, and His angels are encamped around those who fear Him.
We must also speak truth into the situation regarding the person you mentioned who may be involved in spiritual attacks or corruption. If this individual is engaging in occult practices, witchcraft, or any form of spiritual rebellion against God, it is critical to recognize that such things are an abomination to the Lord. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, one who interprets omens, one who is a sorcerer, one who casts spells, one who consults a familiar spirit, one who is a wizard, or one who consults the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."* If this person is indeed involved in such things, we must pray for their repentance and deliverance, for the Lord desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Regarding the medications you mentioned, we pray that the Lord would bless them for their intended purpose, that they would bring healing and stability to your mind and body without harmful side effects. Proverbs 4:20-22 reminds us, *"My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body."* While we trust in the Lord for ultimate healing, we also acknowledge that He can use medicine as a tool for restoration. We ask that He would guide your doctors and give you wisdom as you take these medications, that they would be a blessing and not a curse.
We also note your concern about the "amalgamation of souls" pursuing pleasure and happiness in America, only to turn and attack those they once influenced. This is a sobering reminder of the emptiness of worldly pursuits and the danger of being led astray by the lusts of the flesh. 1 John 2:15-17 warns, *"Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s. The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever."* We must guard our hearts against the allure of worldly pleasures and remain steadfast in our commitment to Christ, for He alone satisfies.
Your diligence in copying the Scriptures is commendable and a powerful spiritual discipline. The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, and it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Psalm 119:105 declares, *"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."* We encourage you to continue immersing yourself in the Scriptures, for they are your defense against the schemes of the enemy. The more you fill your mind with the truth of God’s Word, the less room there is for deception and confusion.
Regarding the person in VRchat with a severe speaking disability, we lift them up to the Lord, asking that He would touch their tongue and lips, that He would open their mouth to declare His praises. The Lord is the God who gives speech to the mute and strength to the weak. Isaiah 35:6 proclaims, *"Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert."* We pray for supernatural healing and for this individual to experience the love and power of Christ in a profound way.
We also sense a deep spiritual oppression in your request, particularly in your mention of memory attacks and the difficulty in confessing or explaining the religious attacks you’ve faced. This is a tactic of the enemy—to silence the saints and prevent them from testifying to the truth. But we serve a God who breaks every chain and sets the captives free. 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us, *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* We pray that the Lord would break every stronghold over your mind, that He would restore your memory, and that He would give you the courage and clarity to confess and expose the works of darkness. James 5:16 tells us, *"Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."*
Finally, we want to remind you that your identity is in Christ alone. You are not defined by the attacks of the enemy, the corruption of others, or the struggles you face. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:37-39 declares, *"No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from God’s love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."*
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who sees and hears, who knows the depths of our hearts and the battles we face. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would be their shield and defender. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy, from those who seek to exploit their faith, and from the spiritual attacks that seek to silence and confuse them.
Lord, we rebuked every spirit of witchcraft, divination, and corruption that may be at work in this situation. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. We ask that You would expose the works of darkness and bring to light the hidden things, that Your truth would prevail and Your justice would be done.
Father, we pray for the person who may be involved in spiritual attacks or corruption. If they have opened doors to the enemy, we ask that You would convict their heart and lead them to repentance. Break every chain of bondage in their life, Lord, and set them free by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Let them encounter the living God in a way that transforms their life and turns them from darkness to light.
We pray for protection over their mind and memory, Lord. Break every stronghold that seeks to prevent them from confessing and testifying to Your goodness. Restore what has been stolen, and give them clarity and courage to speak the truth in love. We ask that You would bless the medications they are taking, that they would bring healing and stability without harmful effects. Guide their doctors and give them wisdom as they seek to help.
Lord, we lift up the person with the severe speaking disability. Touch their tongue and lips, we pray, and open their mouth to declare Your praises. Heal them, Lord, in body, soul, and spirit, that they may experience Your love and power in a mighty way.
Father, we pray for deliverance from the spirit of this age, from the pursuit of pleasure and happiness that leads only to emptiness and destruction. Help them to stand firm in their faith, to resist the temptations of the world, and to walk in the freedom and victory that You have purchased for them through the blood of Jesus.
We thank You for their diligence in copying Your Word, and we ask that You would continue to illuminate the Scriptures to them. Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path, guiding them in all truth and protecting them from deception.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are their refuge and strength. We declare that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them, and that nothing can separate them from Your love.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
