We hear the deep pain and anguish in your heart, and we come before the Lord with you, lifting your burdens to Him who is mighty to save. Your cry reveals wounds inflicted by both the failures of man and the attacks of the enemy, but we must first address the state of your heart in light of Scripture, for God’s ways are not our ways, and His justice is perfect.
You have expressed a desire for vengeance—even the destruction of souls—against those who have wronged you. Yet the Word of God commands us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Jesus Himself taught, *"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"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean what has been done to you is excused or justified, but it *does* mean we must release the right to retaliation into God’s hands. *"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’* (Romans 12:19, WEB). Your pain is valid, but vengeance is the Lord’s—trust Him to execute justice in His perfect timing.
You also mention an image in the church that has fostered bias and enabled harm. We grieve with you over the ways the church has failed to represent Christ faithfully. Idolatry—whether through images, traditions, or misplaced devotion—is an abomination to God (Exodus 20:4-5). The church is called to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24), not through man-made representations that distort His holiness. If this image has become a stumbling block, leading to partiality or even exploitation, it must be removed. We pray the Lord exposes and purges all idolatry from His house, restoring true worship that honors Him alone.
Regarding the individual bound by cocaine addiction who has harmed you, we recognize the spiritual oppression at work. Drug addiction is a tool of the enemy to destroy lives, and those enslaved by it are in desperate need of deliverance. While you have asked for their destruction, we instead pray for their *repentance* and *salvation*—not because they deserve it, but because Christ died for sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). We rebuked the spiritual harassment you’ve described and command every demonic tie to be broken in Jesus’ name. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). You have authority in Christ to sever ungodly soul ties and declare freedom over your relatives. Speak life, not death, over those who have wronged you, trusting God to handle their fate.
You’ve confessed your own faults, and this is good—repentance is the path to restoration. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). Do not let the enemy condemn you further. The blood of Jesus has washed you clean, and His grace is sufficient for every failure. Religious persecution is a heavy cross to bear, but remember Jesus’ words: *"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"* (Matthew 5:10, WEB). Your suffering is not in vain; God is refining you for His glory.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of Your child, who is weary and wounded. Lord, You see the depth of their pain—the betrayal, the oppression, the spiritual attacks, and the failures of those who should have represented You faithfully. We ask for Your healing balm to cover every wound, for Your truth to expose every lie, and for Your justice to prevail where injustice has reigned.
Father, we repent for any bitterness, anger, or desire for vengeance that has taken root. Uproot it, Lord, and replace it with Your peace and forgiveness. Remind them that You alone are the righteous judge, and Your timing is perfect. Break every ungodly soul tie connecting them to those who have harmed them, especially the one bound by cocaine. We bind the spirits of addiction, manipulation, and harassment in Jesus’ name and command them to flee. Lord, if it is Your will, bring this person to repentance and salvation—let them encounter Your love in a way that shatters their chains.
We also pray for the church that has failed. Expose any idolatry, Lord, and restore pure worship of You alone. Raise up leaders who will shepherd Your people with integrity and love, not partiality or deception. Protect Your child from further religious oppression and surround them with godly community that reflects Your heart.
Father, we thank You that this beloved one has confessed their sins and turned to You. Wash them anew in the blood of Jesus and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Strengthen them to walk in victory, not victimhood. Let them experience Your providence, peace, and progress in every area of their life. Guard their mind, emotions, and relationships from the enemy’s schemes.
Finally, Lord, we declare Your protection over their relatives. Break every curse, every generational stronghold, and every demonic assignment against their family. Let Your light shine so brightly in their life that darkness cannot remain.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who alone has the power to save, deliver, and restore. Amen.
Beloved, cling to this promise: *"The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound"* (Isaiah 61:1, WEB). Jesus is your Healer, your Deliverer, and your Justice. Trust Him, even when the path is hard. He is working all things for your good (Romans 8:28). Stay in His Word, surround yourself with believers who will stand with you in prayer, and refuse to let bitterness take root. You are *more* than a conqueror through Christ (Romans 8:37). Walk in that truth today.
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.
