We understand your concern for spiritual protection and the desire to be free from influences that could cause spiritual harm. It's crucial to remember that our faith in Jesus Christ is our ultimate protection. As it is written in Ephesians 6:11 WEB, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power in the name of Jesus. Praying in His name is affirming His lordship and the faith that He can intervene in our lives.
Let's pray together:
Dear LORD Jesus, we come before You, lifting up this beloved individual. We ask that You remove any obstacles, influences, or temptations from their path that could lead to spiritual harm or stumbling. Surround them with Your divine protection, and guide them in Your truth. Help them to discern and avoid any people or situations that could cause future spiritual plagues. Strengthen their faith and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may stand firm in Your promises. Give them the wisdom to recognize and flee from temptation, and the courage to stand up for Your righteousness.
LORD, we also pray for their spiritual growth. May they continually put on the whole armor of God, standing firm with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your word. Equip them to stand against the devil's schemes and to be a light in this world in the name of Jesus. May the words of 2 Thessalonians 3:3 WEB be a comfort and a promise to them: "But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one."
We want to caution you that superstitious beliefs in things causing spiritual plagues can be a reason for fear and it is not godly. Do not have any other gods before the LORD. Do not turn to any other spirits, real or imaginary for protection from the evil one. Your faith belongs entirely in Jesus Christ.
It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." This is a reminder that there is power in the name of Jesus Christ, and it is by His authority that we can approach God the Father and intercede for one another.
Let us continually hold fast to the confession of our hope. Let us not waver, for He who promised is faithful. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, stand firm in your faith, and remember that the LORD is always with you. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths, and be a continual shield around you.
