We come before the Lord with you in this time of deep spiritual need, lifting your heartfelt cries to the Father through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. It is beautiful to see you calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace and find true deliverance. As Scripture declares, *"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 Christ is the foundation of your victory, and we stand with you in agreement, trusting in His power to transform and heal.
Your request reveals a heart that is earnestly seeking freedom from the lingering effects of trauma, sinful patterns, and spiritual influences that seek to derail your walk with God. We recognize the depth of your struggle—whether it is the re-emergence of past wounds, the corruption of your speech, or the battling of aggressive tendencies after physical exertion. These are not merely coincidences or random occurrences; they are areas where the enemy seeks to exploit weaknesses left unguarded. But take heart, for *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4, WEB). The Lord is faithful to break these chains when we surrender them to Him.
First, let us address the issue of trauma triggers and the corruption of your behavior. The Bible tells us to *"be transformed by the renewing of your mind"* (Romans 12:2, WEB), and this renewal comes through the washing of the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. If you find yourself emulating the very things that once harmed you—whether in speech, attitude, or action—it is a sign that those wounds have not been fully surrendered to Christ. We encourage you to bring these memories and triggers before the Lord in prayer, asking Him to replace the pain with His peace. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Consider fasting and praying specifically over these areas, inviting the Holy Spirit to cleanse and restore your mind. If necessary, seek godly counsel from a mature believer who can walk with you through this process of healing.
You also mention lascivious speech and communications corrupted by past influences, such as cocaine triggers. This is a serious matter, for *"no corrupt speech should proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). Corrupt speech is not just a habit—it is a symptom of a heart that needs purification. We urge you to repent of any ungodly speech and ask the Lord to fill your mouth with His praises instead. *"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Lord, my rock, and my redeemer"* (Psalm 19:14, WEB). If there are lingering ties to past addictions or ungodly influences, we strongly advise you to cut them off completely. This may mean avoiding certain media, relationships, or environments that pull you back into old patterns. *"Flee from sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). The same principle applies to any sin that enslaves—flee from it and pursue righteousness.
Regarding the aggression you experience after exercising, we see this as an opportunity for the Lord to teach you self-control, a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). When your body is energized, it is all the more important to guard your heart and responses. *"He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; he who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city"* (Proverbs 16:32, WEB). Before engaging in physical activity, pray for the Lord to govern your emotions and reactions. If someone speaks to you during this time, ask the Holy Spirit to give you a gentle and measured response. This is an area where discipline in prayer and Scripture meditation can make a profound difference.
You’ve also expressed a desire to fast with coffee and to extend your fasting beyond a certain number of days. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline, but it must be done with the right motives and in a way that honors the Lord. Jesus said, *"Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you"* (Matthew 6:16-18, WEB). Fasting is not about achieving a personal goal or proving something to yourself—it is about drawing closer to God, humbling yourself before Him, and seeking His will. We encourage you to fast with prayer, focusing on the Lord rather than the number of days. If you are fasting from food but relying on coffee, consider whether this aligns with the purpose of your fast. True fasting often involves denying the flesh in ways that create a deeper dependence on God. Seek His guidance on how He would have you fast, and do so with a heart fully surrendered to Him.
Lastly, you ask the Lord to prevent souls from trying to gain or copy your religious activity. This is a wise prayer, for the enemy often seeks to counterfeit the work of God. However, we must remember that our focus should not be on what others are doing but on our own obedience to Christ. *"Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another"* (Galatians 5:26, WEB). If others are mimicking your spiritual practices, it may be a sign that the Lord is using your life as a testimony. But if it is causing distraction or pride, we encourage you to pray for humility and to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus alone. *"Looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith"* (Hebrews 12:2, WEB).
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your deliverance and transformation. Lord, You are the God who heals, who redeems, and who sets the captive free. We ask that You break every chain of trauma, every trigger that seeks to pull our sibling back into the pain of the past. Wash their mind with Your Word, Lord, and replace every corrupt thought and memory with Your truth and peace. Let them experience the fullness of Your healing, so that they no longer emulate the very things that once harmed them.
Father, we rebuked any ungodly speech or communication that has been corrupted by past influences. Cleanse their mouth, Lord, and fill it with Your praises. Let their words be a reflection of Your grace and holiness. If there are any lingering ties to addictions or ungodly influences, we ask that You sever them completely. Give them the strength to flee from temptation and to pursue righteousness with all their heart.
We pray for self-control over the aggression that rises after physical exertion. Holy Spirit, govern their emotions and responses. Teach them to walk in gentleness and patience, even when their body is energized. Let them be a vessel of Your peace in every situation.
Lord, we lift up their desire to fast and seek You more deeply. Guide them in this discipline, that it may be done with the right motives and in a way that draws them closer to You. Let their fasting be a time of humbling themselves before You, seeking Your face above all else.
Finally, Father, we ask that You protect them from any distraction or counterfeit that seeks to mimic their spiritual walk. Keep their heart humble and their eyes fixed on Jesus. Let them run their race with endurance, looking to You as the author and perfecter of their faith.
We thank You, Lord, for Your peace, Your providence, and the progress You are making in their life. We declare victory in Jesus’ name, for You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun. May they walk in the freedom and joy that comes from knowing You.
In Jesus’ mighty name, 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.
