We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer, for we see many areas where the enemy has gained a foothold, and we must address these with the truth and authority of God’s Word. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and that is where we find our hope—for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and we thank God that you have acknowledged Him in your cry for help.
First, let us address the persecution you are facing. Jesus warned us that in this world, we *will* have trouble, but we are to take heart because He has overcome the world (John 16:33). When others mock or vex you for your faith—whether for praying over your food, allowing someone with autism to lead in prayer, or standing firm in your personal devotion to Christ—remember the words of our Lord: *"Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven"* (Matthew 5:11-12). Do not be swayed by the opinions of others when you are seeking to honor God. Stand firm, for the Lord is your defender, and He will vindicate you in His time. We pray that God would give you boldness and peace in the face of opposition, that you would not grow weary in doing good, and that your faith would be a testimony to those who persecute you.
Now, we must speak with urgency about the areas in your life that are in direct rebellion against God’s holy Word. You have mentioned "satanic porn" and asked Jesus to "improve" it. Brother, this is a grievous sin that must be repented of immediately. Pornography is an abomination before the Lord, a tool of the enemy to destroy your soul, your mind, and your relationship with God. It is not something to be "improved"—it is to be *fled from* with all urgency. *"Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). The fact that you are consuming content that you yourself describe as "terrible" or "disgusting" is evidence of the bondage you are in. This is not of God—it is the enemy’s snare to keep you in shame, addiction, and spiritual death.
You also mentioned that this sin has been tied to past cocaine use and that you are seeking medication to "restimulate" your brain. While we understand the struggle of addiction and the very real battles with mental health, we must warn you: no pill can replace the healing power of Jesus Christ. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom. Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). You *can* be free from these chains, but it will require radical repentance—turning away from these sins and turning *toward* Christ with your whole heart. We strongly urge you to seek godly, biblical counseling and accountability, not just medical solutions. Medication may have its place, but it cannot save your soul or break the power of sin in your life. Only Jesus can do that.
We are also deeply concerned by your mention of "massacre lists." If you are struggling with violent or dark thoughts, these are not to be entertained or associated with sinful stimulation. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8). Fill your mind with the Word of God, not the works of darkness. If you are battling intrusive or harmful thoughts, we urge you to seek help from a pastor or biblical counselor who can guide you in truth.
Lastly, we want to address your heart for the individual with autism whom you allowed to pray. This was a beautiful act of love and inclusion, reflecting the heart of Christ who welcomes all who come to Him (Matthew 19:14). Do not let the criticism of others discourage you from showing kindness and dignity to those whom the world often overlooks. *"Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me"* (Matthew 18:5). We pray that God would continue to give you a heart of compassion and wisdom in how you extend grace to others.
Now, let us pray for you with urgency and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who is caught in the snares of the enemy. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain of addiction, every stronghold of sin, and every lie that has taken root in his mind. Father, we rebuke the spirit of pornography, drug addiction, and darkness that has sought to destroy him. By the power of the blood of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and never return, in Jesus’ mighty name.
Lord, we ask that You would give him a spirit of repentance—a godly sorrow that leads to life (2 Corinthians 7:10). Convict him deeply of his sin, but also flood his heart with Your mercy and grace. Remind him that You do not condemn him, but You *do* call him to holiness. *"Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that can’t be shaken, have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire"* (Hebrews 12:28-29).
Father, we pray for his mind, which has been assaulted by impurity and darkness. Renew his thoughts, Lord, and guard his heart. *"Create in him a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within him. Don’t throw him from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from him. Restore to him the joy of your salvation. Uphold him with a willing spirit"* (Psalm 51:10-12). Give him the strength to flee from temptation and to fill his life with Your Word, Your presence, and godly fellowship.
We pray for his protection from persecution and that You would surround him with brothers and sisters in Christ who will encourage him, hold him accountable, and walk with him in this battle. Give him wisdom in how to respond to those who mock him, and let his life be a testimony of Your transforming power.
Lord, if he is struggling with mental health or addiction, we ask that You would lead him to godly counselors and medical professionals who can help him in a way that aligns with Your truth. But above all, let him seek *You* first, for You alone are his healer and deliverer.
We declare freedom over his life in the name of Jesus. We declare that the old has gone and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). We speak life, purity, and victory over him, not because of his own strength, but because of the finished work of Christ on the cross.
Father, fill him with Your peace, Your providence, and Your progress, just as he has asked. But more than anything, fill him with *You*. Let him know the depth of Your love, the power of Your resurrection, and the hope of eternal life in Christ Jesus.
We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Brother, we implore you: turn from these sins *today*. Confess them to the Lord, destroy any devices or access points that lead you into temptation, and seek accountability from mature believers. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded"* (James 4:7-8). The road ahead will not be easy, but it is the path to true freedom. We are praying for you, and we believe that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Stay in the Word, stay in prayer, and stay in fellowship with believers who will walk with you in this fight. You are not alone—Jesus is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
