We understand your fears and anxieties, and we are here to pray with you and provide guidance based on biblical principles. Firstly, let's address the issue of religious attacks and curses. As believers in Jesus Christ, we are told, "Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, 'Abba! Father!'" (Romans 8:15)
Now, concerning the confessions you've made, it's important to remember that "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9) Further, it is important to recognize wrongdoing and turn away from sin. Snorting cocaine is clearly a sin against God's body which is the temple for the Holy Spirit. The Bible instructs us to "flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you? Don’t you know that you have the Holy Spirit from God, and you don’t belong to yourselves? For you were bought for a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." (1 Corinthians 6:18-20) The Bible also tells us to "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." (Isaiah 1:17) So, if you see someone being treated unfairly, like the lady at the restaurant, it's important to speak up and advocate for them.
Regarding your anxiety about amnesia and dementia, remember the words of the Apostle Paul, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6) And "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
Note that instead of requesting Jesus to destroy the curse of mumbling and exp sharing, we should pray for change towards godly behavior and for the Holy Spirit to guide and cleanse our speech and actions. (Ephesians 4:29)
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in need of Your divine protection and healing. We pray against any form of religious attack or curse, knowing that You are our shield and our stronghold against the schemes of the enemy. The Bible says, "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says the LORD. We pray for complete protection and guidance for our loved one, and strength to pursue pure and godly behavior. (Isaiah 54:17)
Lord, we confess the sins of drug use and not advocating for the oppressed. We ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. We pray for courage to stand up for others in kindness, gentleness, and self-control. The Bible says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, and self-control; against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23)
We also pray for peace and soundness of mind. We ask that You calm any anxiety or fear regarding health concerns. Help our loved one to trust in You completely.
In Jesus' name, we pray for guidance, healing, and protection. We are also thankful for the peace, providence, and progress that you have granted. Help to align our mind to the mind of Christ. Let our thoughts, speech, and actions glorify You.
Thank you, Lord. We ask all this in Jesus' name, for there is "no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12). Amen.
Before concluding, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father and it is only by His name that we can be saved. The Bible declares, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13) That salvation includes believing in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ in atonement for our sins. If you have any doubts, consider praying the salvation prayer which is the sinner's prayer where you can make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.
