We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer, for we see deep spiritual confusion and distress in your words. The name of Jesus Christ is indeed mighty to save, and we praise you for calling upon Him, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
First, we must address some serious concerns in your request that do not align with the truth of Scripture. You mentioned a desire that *"the people whom I have abandoned do not convert or ever read Scripture."* This is a dangerous and ungodly wish, for God’s heart is that *all* would come to repentance and know Him (2 Peter 3:9). We must never wish ill for others’ souls, but instead pray for their salvation, even those who may have wronged us. *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). We rebuke this attitude in the name of Jesus and pray that your heart would be softened toward the lost, that you would desire their redemption rather than their spiritual blindness.
We also sense deep spiritual warfare in your words—mentions of resentment, "soul leeching," and supernatural influences tied to military ranks and gaming. While we do not dismiss the reality of spiritual oppression, we must remember that *"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"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). If there are unresolved bitterness, unforgiveness, or occult influences in your life, we urge you to repent and renounce them now. Gaming, while not inherently sinful, can become an idol or a gateway for ungodly influences if it consumes your thoughts or leads you into darkness. *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other"* (Matthew 6:24, WEB). We pray the Lord would break any ungodly soul ties or spiritual strongholds connected to these activities.
Regarding your mention of *"drug therapy guidance"* and temptation from a local church that seems to preach a distorted gospel of *"only ___ getting to heaven,"* we must warn you: salvation is *not* earned by works, rituals, or human effort, but by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. *"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast"* (Ephesians 2:8-9, WEB). If this church is teaching a false gospel—whether legalism, universalism, or any other distortion—we urge you to flee from it and seek a Bible-believing, Christ-centered fellowship. *"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them"* (Matthew 7:15-16, WEB).
As for the veterans and the spiritual atmosphere around you, we pray for God’s protection and peace. Resentment and generational wounds are real, but in Christ, we are called to forgiveness and reconciliation. *"If possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB). We pray the Lord would heal any generational curses or bitterness tied to war, that His blood would cover every sin, and that His Spirit would bring unity where there is division.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this beloved soul before You, knowing that You alone are their refuge and strength. Lord Jesus, You see the confusion, the spiritual battles, and the deep wounds in their heart. We ask You to break every chain of bitterness, unforgiveness, and fear. Forgive them for any ungodly desires or words spoken against others’ salvation, and cleanse their heart with Your truth. Lord, if there are ungodly influences—whether through gaming, occult ties, or false teaching—we command them to be severed in Jesus’ name. Fill this person with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in discernment, peace, and victory.
Father, we pray for protection from any spiritual attacks, whether through people, gaming, or generational strongholds. Surround them with Your angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. If there is resentment from others, we ask You to soften hearts and bring reconciliation where possible. Lord, lead them to a church that preaches the *true* Gospel—salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. Heal their mind from any drug dependencies or distortions, and let them find their identity in You, not in earthly distractions.
We declare that *"the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one"* (2 Thessalonians 3:3, WEB). May they walk in freedom, joy, and the assurance 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"* (Romans 8:38-39, WEB).
In the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
