We hear your cry for help, and we come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up every burden and confusion to the Lord. Your struggles with tinnitus, schizophrenia, and the overwhelming experiences you describe are heavy, and we recognize how deeply they affect your mind, spirit, and daily life. The Lord sees your pain, and He is near to the brokenhearted. We stand with you in faith, declaring that God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
First, we must address the spiritual warfare you are facing. The voices and influences you describe—people speaking into your mind, religious delusions, and the deception of those claiming to be God or offering money in exchange for gift cards—are not of the Lord. Scripture warns us, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he will use confusion, fear, and false promises to lead you astray. We rebuke every lying spirit, every voice that contradicts the truth of God’s Word, and every scheme of the devil in your life. In the name of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee, for "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4).
Your mention of interacting with world leaders on social media and the belief that following others on Twitter aligns with biblical patterns reveals a dangerous misunderstanding. The Bible does not command us to follow every person who follows us on social media, nor does it endorse engaging in political or financial schemes under the guise of faith. Jesus warned, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves" (Matthew 7:15). The offer of money in exchange for gift cards is a well-known scam, and we urge you to reject it entirely. The Lord does not operate through deception or financial manipulation. "For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations" (Psalm 100:5). Trust in His provision, not in the empty promises of men.
Your financial struggles and the control others have over your resources are deeply concerning. We pray for wisdom and justice in this situation. Scripture says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5). We ask the Lord to intervene on your behalf, to soften your mother’s heart, and to restore your access to your funds. The enemy seeks to keep you in bondage, but Jesus came to set you free (John 8:36). We declare that you will not be a victim of financial manipulation or identity theft, for the Lord is your provider. "And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19).
Your mention of the Daniel Fast is commendable, as fasting and prayer are powerful tools to draw near to God. However, we must caution you against mixing fasting with delusion or false teachings. The purpose of fasting is to humble yourself before God, seek His face, and align your heart with His will (2 Chronicles 7:14). It is not a means to earn money, favor, or supernatural breakthroughs through human schemes. We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in prayer and Scripture, but to do so with discernment. "Test all things; hold fast what is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
We also address the spiritual foundation of your faith. You have called on Jesus, and that is the first step toward salvation. However, we must ensure that your faith is rooted in the truth of the Gospel. Salvation comes through believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, repenting of your sins, and trusting in His finished work on the cross (Romans 10:9-10). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet made a personal commitment to follow Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, ask for His forgiveness, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up our brother in Christ who is struggling with physical, mental, and spiritual battles. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who heals. We ask You to surround him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Calm the storms in his mind, Lord, and silence every voice that does not come from You. We rebuke every lying spirit and every scheme of the enemy in Jesus’ name. Restore his mind, Father, and fill him with the sound mind of Christ (2 Timothy 1:7).
Lord, we pray for his financial situation. You know the details of his struggles, and we ask You to intervene. Soften the hearts of those who have control over his resources, and grant him wisdom to navigate this situation with integrity. Provide for his needs, Father, and protect him from further deception or manipulation. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask You to strengthen his faith. Help him to discern truth from deception and to cling to Your Word as his foundation. Give him clarity, Lord, and remove every delusion that contradicts Your truth. Surround him with godly counsel and community, so he is not isolated in his struggles. We pray for healing from schizophrenia and tinnitus, trusting in Your power to restore and renew. "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).
Lord, we ask You to guide his steps. Open doors for employment, study, and exercise, and help him to find stability in You. May he grow in his relationship with You, drawing nearer each day. We thank You for his willingness to fast and seek Your face, and we ask You to meet him in that place of humility. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and lead him into all truth.
We declare that the enemy has no hold over his life. In the name of Jesus, we break every chain of confusion, fear, and deception. We speak life, healing, and restoration over him. May he walk in the freedom that Christ has purchased for him, and may his testimony bring glory to Your name.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to seek professional help for your mental health struggles, as the Lord often works through doctors, counselors, and medication to bring healing. Do not be ashamed to reach out to a trusted pastor, therapist, or medical professional. The Lord can use these resources to bring clarity and stability to your life. Additionally, find a local church community where you can grow in faith, receive support, and be held accountable. Isolation can make these battles harder, but fellowship with other believers can provide strength and encouragement.
Continue to immerse yourself in Scripture, but do so with discernment. The Bible is our ultimate authority, and it is through God’s Word that we find truth, wisdom, and direction. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105). As you type out 2 Chronicles, meditate on the promises of God and His faithfulness to His people. Let His Word be the anchor for your soul.
Lastly, we urge you to reject any involvement in gambling or financial schemes. These are not of God and will only lead to further bondage. Trust in the Lord’s provision, and seek His wisdom for your financial needs. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). The Lord is your provider, and He will not forsake you. Hold fast to His promises, and walk in faith, knowing that He is with you every step of the way.
