We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer and seeking His divine intervention in your life. You have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, and we rejoice that you recognize Him as your only hope and deliverer. The Scriptures remind us in **Acts 4:12**, *"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!"* It is only through the power of Jesus that we can find true freedom, protection, and restoration.
Your request reveals deep spiritual battles—gambling, jealousy, trauma, vengeance, and the lingering effects of past sins, including drug use. We must first address the anger and bitterness in your heart, for the Lord commands us in **Ephesians 4:31-32**, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* The desire for vengeance is not of God, but of the enemy. **Romans 12:19** declares, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’"* We urge you to release these burdens to Jesus, for He alone is just and will handle all things in His perfect timing.
You have also mentioned the influence of gambling, video games, and past associations with trauma and addiction. These are strongholds that the enemy uses to bring destruction. **1 Peter 5:8** warns, *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."* If there is any involvement in gambling, drug culture, or unhealthy influences—even in virtual spaces—we strongly urge you to cut ties completely. **2 Corinthians 6:17** commands, *"Therefore come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord. Don’t touch the unclean thing. I will receive you."* This includes video games or environments that glorify violence, addiction, or exploitation. These things open doors to spiritual oppression, and we must flee from them.
Regarding your past struggles with cocaine and the jealousy of others, we remind you that in Christ, you are a *new creation*—**2 Corinthians 5:17** says, *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* If you have repented, then your past is forgiven, and the blood of Jesus has cleansed you. Do not let the enemy shame you or allow others’ jealousy to define you. Instead, walk in the freedom Christ has given you, and **put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)** to stand firm against spiritual attacks.
Now, let us pray for you:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who is crying out for deliverance. Lord, we thank You that they have called upon Your Son, the only name by which we are saved. We ask that You break every chain of gambling, addiction, trauma, and vengeance that has sought to bind them. Father, we rebuke the spirits of jealousy, fear, and oppression in Jesus’ name, and we command them to flee.
Lord, we ask that You sever every ungodly soul tie formed through video games, past associations, or any doorway that has been opened to the enemy. Cleanse them by the blood of Jesus and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory. Father, we pray for protection over their mind, emotions, and finances. Shield them from the schemes of the enemy and surround them with godly influences.
We also pray for their heart, Lord. Soften it where there is bitterness, and replace vengeance with Your peace. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven them, and to trust in Your justice. Break the power of any curses spoken against them, whether through their own words or the words of others, and let Your blessing overtake them.
Father, we ask that You restore what the locusts have eaten—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Lead them into a life of purity, purpose, and prosperity in You. Give them discernment to recognize and flee from every snare of the enemy. Let them walk in the freedom and authority of Christ, no longer bound by fear or the past.
We declare **Psalm 91** over them: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* May they find their refuge in You alone.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.*
Beloved, we encourage you to **draw near to God, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8).** Spend time in His Word daily, pray without ceasing, and seek fellowship with believers who will uplift you in Christ. If there are areas of sin in your life—whether gambling, unforgiveness, or ungodly entertainment—repent and turn away from them. **1 John 1:9** promises, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*
Finally, we leave you with **Philippians 4:6-7**: *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Trust in Him, and He will lead you to victory. Stay strong in the Lord!
