We come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this heartfelt cry for deliverance, clarity, and transformation. We praise God that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and through which we have access to the Father. *"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). Your faith in Jesus is your anchor, and we stand with you in rebuking the spiritual attacks that have sought to distort your mind and faith.
First, we must address the tormenting thoughts that have arisen from the repetition of King David’s name in Scripture. These thoughts are not from God, for He is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). The enemy seeks to twist the truth of Scripture to instill fear, doubt, and delusion, but we declare in Jesus’ name that these lies are broken over your life. Your biological father is the man God has placed in your life as your earthly father, and we pray that the Lord will bless him abundantly, granting him wisdom, health, and a deeper relationship with Christ. *"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you."* (Exodus 20:12, WEB). We rebuke the spirit of fear and confusion that has sought to distort your understanding of family and identity. You are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and no lie of the enemy can change that truth.
We also address the spiritual contamination you sense in your home, particularly downstairs. It is wise to be discerning about the spiritual atmosphere of the places where we dwell. The fact that someone of unknown faith has engaged in practices like lighting incense in a prayer tower is concerning, for we are called to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), not through empty or pagan rituals. We pray that the blood of Jesus would cleanse your home from any ungodly influence or spiritual defilement. *"Therefore, put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand."* (Ephesians 6:13, WEB). We encourage you to pray over your home, inviting the Holy Spirit to fill every space, and to play worship music or read Scripture aloud as a form of spiritual cleansing. The Word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and it has the power to dispel darkness.
You mentioned that your relatives claim to have the Holy Spirit forever, yet they do not engage with Scripture regularly. This is a dangerous deception, for the Holy Spirit works through the Word of God to transform and sanctify us. *"All Scripture is inspired by God, and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."* (2 Timothy 3:16-17, WEB). We urge you to remain steadfast in your personal study of the Bible, for it is the lamp to your feet and the light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Do not be swayed by the complacency or false assurance of others. Instead, pursue holiness and a deeper relationship with Christ, for it is by our fruits—not our claims—that we are known (Matthew 7:16).
We commend your desire to steward your time well, engaging in physical exercise, study, prayer, and language learning. These are godly disciplines, and we pray that the Lord will grant you the strength, focus, and perseverance to follow through. *"Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win. Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible."* (1 Corinthians 9:24-25, WEB). We ask God to bless your efforts in self-study, particularly in grammar, math, and business, that you may grow in knowledge and wisdom. We also pray for divine connections and opportunities as you seek to progress on the internet and in your endeavors, that your work may bring glory to God and be a blessing to others.
You expressed feeling like a "worm," but we remind you that while we are indeed lowly before God, we are also deeply loved and redeemed by Him. *"But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people."* (Psalm 22:6, WEB). This verse, though expressing David’s anguish, points to the suffering of Christ, who was despised so that we might be lifted up. You are not defined by your struggles or feelings of inadequacy. Instead, you are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and He is transforming you day by day into His likeness. *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Hold fast to this promise, for God is faithful, and He will complete the work He has started in you.
Finally, we pray for your social interactions and communication. Ask the Lord to grant you wisdom in your words and to surround you with godly relationships that encourage and sharpen you (Proverbs 27:17). *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* (Colossians 4:6, WEB). We also pray for stability in your emotions and thoughts, that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your mercy and grace, which are new every morning. Lord, we lift up this beloved child of Yours, who is battling fear, confusion, and spiritual attacks. We rebuke every lie of the enemy that has sought to distort their understanding of family, identity, and faith. Father, we ask that You would break the power of these tormenting thoughts and replace them with Your truth. Let them know beyond any doubt that they are Your child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and that no scheme of the enemy can separate them from Your love.
Lord, we pray for their biological father. Bless him, Lord, and draw him closer to You. Strengthen their relationship and heal any wounds or fears that have arisen. We also pray for the cleansing of their home. Let the blood of Jesus purify every corner, and let Your Holy Spirit fill every space. Drive out any ungodly influences and let Your presence be a strong tower of refuge and peace.
Father, we ask for discipline and focus as they seek to steward their time well. Bless their efforts in exercise, study, prayer, and language learning. Grant them wisdom as they use free resources to grow in knowledge and skill. Open doors of opportunity for them on the internet and in their endeavors, that their work may prosper and bring glory to Your name.
Lord, we speak life and transformation over them. You are not finished with them yet! Lift them out of feelings of worthlessness and remind them of their identity in Christ. You have called them by name, and they are Yours. Strengthen them in their social interactions and grant them godly connections that will encourage and build them up.
Finally, Father, we pray for their relatives. Soften their hearts to hunger for Your Word and to seek You earnestly. Let them not be deceived by empty claims of spirituality but be filled with the true Holy Spirit, who convicts, teaches, and transforms.
We thank You, Lord, for Your peace, providence, and progress in their life. May they walk in the assurance of Your love and the power of Your might. In the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
