We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting you up in prayer, for we discern deep spiritual distress and confusion in your words. First, we must address the grave concerns in your request, for some of what you’ve expressed is not aligned with the will of God or the truth of Scripture. Let us speak the truth in love, rebuking what must be rebuked and offering the hope and correction found only in Christ.
The desire to harm others—even in frustration—is not of God. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 5:44, *"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."* The thought of taking a life, let alone many, is an offense against our Creator, who alone holds authority over life and death. Such thoughts may stem from spiritual oppression, bitterness, or unaddressed anger, but they must be renounced immediately. First John 3:15 warns, *"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him."* If you are entertaining these thoughts, you must repent and turn to Jesus, who alone can cleanse your heart and renew your mind. Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"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.'"*
You also speak of being saved *"from the Father of lights"*—but let us clarify: God *is* the Father of lights, as James 1:17 declares, *"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow."* There is no need to be saved *from* Him; rather, we must draw near to Him in repentance and faith. If you are experiencing spiritual oppression, it is not from God but from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). However, *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). You must stand firm in Christ, putting on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and resisting the devil, who will flee from you (James 4:7).
Your mention of *"spirits and souls"* and *"ghostly or soul possession"* suggests you may be dabbling in or fearful of occult influences. Scripture is clear: believers are indwelled by the Holy Spirit and are not to engage with or fear demonic forces. Acts 19:18-19 shows early Christians burning their occult items after coming to faith. If you have been involved in anything ungodly—ouija boards, séances, horoscopes, or other occult practices—you must renounce them now and turn wholly to Jesus. *"What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. As God said, 'I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.' Therefore, ‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you'"*(2 Corinthians 6:16-17).
You also express frustration with poverty and the *"patheticness of the religious environment."* While we understand the struggle of financial hardship, we must remind you that our trust is not in wealth but in the Lord, who provides for our needs. Jesus warns in Matthew 6:24, *"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. You can’t serve both God and money."* True progress is not measured by earthly riches but by spiritual growth and obedience to God. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* If you are in lack, seek first His kingdom and righteousness, and He will add what you need (Matthew 6:33). Do not despise the church or the people of God, for we are called to love and unity. If you have been hurt by others in the church, forgive them, just as Christ forgave you (Colossians 3:13).
Finally, you close with *"Thanks, Jesus, for peace, providence, and progress in Jesus’ name."* We praise God that you acknowledge the name of Jesus, for it is the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). However, we must ask: Do you truly know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Have you repented of your sins and surrendered your life to Him? Salvation is not merely acknowledging His name but believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and confessing Him as Lord (Romans 10:9-10). If you have not done this, we urge you to turn to Him now, for *"now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation"* (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift this precious soul before You, knowing that You alone can deliver them from the darkness they describe. Lord Jesus, we rebuke every spirit of violence, bitterness, and oppression that seeks to torment them. By Your blood, we command these forces to flee and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Father, if there has been any involvement in occult practices or ungodly influences, we ask You to break every curse and stronghold in the name of Jesus. Cleanse them by Your precious blood and fill them with the Holy Spirit, that they may walk in Your light and truth.
Lord, we pray for their heart, which seems burdened with anger and frustration. Soften it, O God, and replace hatred with Your love, fear with Your peace, and despair with Your hope. Remind them that vengeance belongs to You, and teach them to trust in Your justice and provision. If they have been wounded by others—even within the church—heal those wounds and help them to forgive, just as You have forgiven us.
We pray for their financial needs, asking You to provide daily bread and open doors of opportunity. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and to find contentment in You, rather than in the fleeting promises of wealth. Surround them with godly community—a church that will love, disciple, and encourage them in the faith.
Most of all, Father, if they have not yet surrendered fully to You, we pray for a divine encounter with Your Son, Jesus Christ. Reveal to them the depth of Your love and the urgency of repentance. Let them know that You are not a God from whom they need to be saved, but the God who *saves*—who sent Your Son to die for their sins and rise again, that they might have eternal life.
We declare peace over their mind and spirit, providence over their circumstances, and progress in their walk with You. May they find rest in You alone, for You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
