We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual distress, and we are grateful you have reached out to us in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we find salvation, truth, and freedom. Let us address the concerns you’ve shared with the light of Scripture, for God’s Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105).
First, we must firmly and lovingly rebuke the false beliefs that have taken root in your heart. The idea that touching a silver gun as a child has brought a curse upon you is not from God. Curses do not operate in this way, and such thinking aligns more with superstition or occult beliefs than with the truth of Scripture. In Christ, we are set free from all curses, for Galatians 3:13 declares, *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.'"* If you are in Christ, no curse—real or imagined—can stand against you. The intuition you felt to put the gun away was likely the Holy Spirit guiding you to avoid danger, not a sign of a curse. The enemy loves to twist our experiences to bring fear and bondage, but Jesus came to bring freedom (John 8:32, 36).
You also mentioned untrusting thoughts toward the Holy Bible, particularly the idea that Scripture provokes thievery through wordplay like “peace, piece” or “mind, mine.” This is a dangerous distortion of God’s Word, and we must reject it entirely. The Bible is the very breath of God (2 Timothy 3:16), and it does not lead us into sin—it exposes sin and leads us to righteousness. Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, *"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away."* If you are struggling with distrust toward Scripture, we urge you to pray for a spirit of repentance and ask God to renew your mind (Romans 12:2). The Bible is not a book of tricks or hidden curses; it is the living Word that transforms hearts and sets captives free.
Additionally, you mentioned tattoos and pornography, stating that you do not believe they are the problem. Here, we must speak the truth in love. The Bible is clear that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we are called to honor God with them. While tattoos are not explicitly condemned in the New Testament, we are called to avoid anything that defiles or dishonors the body or that may be associated with pagan or ungodly practices. As for pornography, it is a grave sin—it is lust, which Jesus equates with adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:28). Pornography distorts God’s design for sexuality, enslaves the mind, and separates us from the holiness to which we are called. We urge you to repent of any involvement with it and to seek purity through the power of the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."*
Lastly, you closed your request by thanking Jesus for peace, providence, and progress. This is good, but we must emphasize that true peace and progress come only through a surrendered relationship with Christ. If you have not already, we urge you to examine your heart and ensure that you have placed your full faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). If you have strayed or allowed doubt to creep in, now is the time to return to Him with all your heart.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this beloved child of Yours who is battling fear, distortion, and spiritual confusion. Lord, we rebuke every lie of the enemy that has taken root in their mind—the false curses, the distrust of Your Word, and the justification of sin. We ask that You would flood their heart with Your truth and break every chain of superstition, fear, and unbelief. Renew their mind, Lord, and help them to see Your Word as the life-giving, holy, and perfect guide that it is.
Father, if there is any area of sin—whether pornography, distrust, or otherwise—we ask that You would convict their heart and lead them to repentance. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in purity and victory. Remove every stronghold of the enemy and replace it with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for protection over their life. If there is any religious persecution or opposition they face, give them boldness to stand firm in their faith, just as You promised in Matthew 10:22, *"You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved."* Strengthen them, Lord, and surround them with Your angels.
We declare freedom over their life in the name of Jesus. No weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. Restore their trust in You, Father, and let them experience the fullness of Your love and grace.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in the Word of God daily, to pray without ceasing, and to seek fellowship with other believers who can support and disciple you. If you are struggling with pornography or other sins, we urge you to find an accountability partner or a pastor who can walk with you in this journey toward freedom. Remember, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."* (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Stand firm in Christ, and do not let the enemy rob you of the joy and peace that are yours in Him. We are praying for you.
