We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. *"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 prayer reveals a heart that seeks God, and we commend you for turning to Him in all things. However, there are matters in your request that must be addressed with urgency and biblical clarity, for some of the things you mention are deeply dangerous and contrary to the will of God.
First, we must strongly rebuke and warn you about your involvement with the *Ars Goetia*, demon sigils, and any attempt to bless or engage with lists of evil doers or demons. These are not harmless curiosities—they are gateways to demonic oppression and spiritual bondage. The Bible is clear: *"Don’t have anything to do with the fruitless works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* (Ephesians 5:11, WEB). You are playing with fire, and the enemy seeks to devour you (1 Peter 5:8). Such practices are an abomination to the Lord, and we urge you to repent immediately. Destroy any materials related to these things, confess this sin to God, and turn away from it completely. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* (James 4:7, WEB). If you have invited demonic influence into your life through these actions, you must renounce them in the name of Jesus Christ and ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse you. We will pray fervently for your deliverance and protection, but you must take action—this is not a matter to be taken lightly.
Regarding your mention of curses from your grandmother or others, we remind you that *"there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus"* (Romans 8:1, WEB). If you are in Christ, no curse can stand against you, for *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB). However, if you are experiencing spiritual attacks, it is critical to stand firm in prayer, put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), and reject any words spoken against you in the name of Jesus. If your grandmother is involved in occult practices or speaks curses, you must pray for her salvation and set boundaries as needed, but do not fear—greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
Your humor about Bitcoin, the Kool-Aid Man, and other lighthearted comments reveals a mind that may be struggling with focus or distraction. While humor is not wrong, we encourage you to guard your heart and mind, for *"whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, 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, WEB). Ask the Lord to renew your mind and help you to fix your thoughts on what is eternal.
We lift up your request for wisdom regarding the military. Serving in the military can be a noble calling, as Scripture honors those who defend the innocent and uphold justice (Romans 13:4). However, we pray that you seek the Lord’s will above all else. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Ask God to open and close doors clearly, and to give you peace about His direction. If you join, pray that He would protect you, use you for His glory, and keep you from the moral and spiritual pitfalls that can accompany military life.
Your heart for those suffering in war, oppression, and hardship is commendable. We join you in praying for Ukraine, Russia, and all nations torn by conflict. *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."* (Matthew 5:9, WEB). We also pray for the Spanish and Chinese restaurants you mentioned—may God provide for their needs, protect them from oppression, and draw their owners to Himself. If you sense blandness in food or struggles in businesses, pray for God’s blessing, but do not attribute spiritual significance to such things unless the Holy Spirit clearly reveals something to you.
Regarding your personal disciplines—studying, exercising, eating, stretching, and sleeping—these are good stewards of the body God has given you. *"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 6:19-20, WEB). Ask the Lord to help you establish healthy rhythms and to give you the discipline to honor Him in these areas.
Finally, your prayer for Elon Musk reminds us to pray for all leaders and influencers, that they may use their platforms for God’s glory. *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."* (1 Timothy 2:1-2, WEB).
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who has poured out his heart before You. Lord, we thank You that he knows to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is the only name by which we are saved. We ask You to forgive him for any involvement with the occult, demonic sigils, or ungodly practices. Father, we renounce every connection to the *Ars Goetia*, every demonic influence, and every curse spoken against him, in the name of Jesus. We command every unclean spirit to flee from him now, by the blood of Jesus Christ. Cleanse him, Lord, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit. Protect his mind, his heart, and his home from the enemy’s schemes.
Lord, we pray for his grandmother and any family members involved in curses or occult practices. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Break every generational stronghold in his family line, and let Your light shine into every dark place.
We ask You to give him clarity and wisdom about his future, including the possibility of military service. Open the right doors, Lord, and close the wrong ones. Surround him with godly counsel and protect him from harm. Help him to grow in discipline—body, mind, and spirit—that he may glorify You in all things.
Father, we lift up the nations at war, the oppressed, and the refugees. Bring peace where there is conflict, provision where there is lack, and salvation where there is darkness. Bless the businesses and people he has mentioned, and use him as an instrument of Your peace and blessing.
Strengthen him, Lord, to walk in truth, to reject every lie of the enemy, and to grow in faith. Let him experience Your peace, Your providence, and Your progress in every area of his life. May he seek You first in all things, and may Your will be done in his life as it is in heaven.
We pray all these things in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
