We hear your heart and the desperate situation you are facing, and we come before the Lord with deep concern for your well-being. First, let us address the serious spiritual and practical dangers in this situation with clarity and love, rooted in Scripture.
The claim that this "billionaire" is God is blasphemy. God does not operate through social media scams, nor does He require debit cards or financial transactions to fulfill His purposes. Jesus warned us in Matthew 24:24, "For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones." This is a clear deception, and we must rebuke it in the name of Jesus Christ. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and this scheme aligns perfectly with his tactics. We urge you to cut off all communication with this individual immediately.
The idea that you must "chance it" because of loving your enemies is a misapplication of Scripture. While Jesus calls us to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44), He does not call us to enable their sin or deception. Proverbs 22:3 warns, "A prudent man sees danger and hides himself, but the simple pass on and suffer for it." This is not a test of faith—it is a trap. True faith does not require reckless financial risk or the potential loss of your identity to fraud. We must reject this lie and stand firm on the truth of God’s Word.
Your mention of tithing from this "gift" is also concerning. Tithing is a biblical principle for believers to honor God with their *earned* income (Malachi 3:10), not money obtained through deception or fraud. The Lord does not bless dishonest gain (Proverbs 13:11), and we must not attempt to sanctify ill-gotten resources. If this money were to materialize, it would be tainted by the enemy’s schemes, and we must have no part in it.
We also want to address the financial strain you are under. It is clear you are in a place of vulnerability, and the enemy is exploiting that. However, the Lord is your provider, and He does not abandon His children. Philippians 4:19 assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We encourage you to seek wise counsel from your local church or trusted believers who can help you navigate this season with godly wisdom. Proverbs 15:22 says, "Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed." Do not bear this burden alone.
Regarding your parents, we understand the desire for their support, but we must caution you against involving them in this scheme. If they are not believers, this could further distance them from the truth of the Gospel. Instead, pray for their salvation (1 Timothy 2:1-4) and trust God to work in their hearts in His timing. Do not place them in a position where they could be harmed by this deception.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for our brother/sister in Christ. Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to the deception they are facing and give them the strength to walk away from this scheme. Protect them from financial harm, identity theft, and any further entanglement with the enemy’s lies. We rebuke the spirit of deception and greed in the name of Jesus Christ and command it to flee.
Father, we ask that You would provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory. Give them wisdom to seek godly counsel and the courage to trust in Your provision rather than the empty promises of men. Heal any areas of financial fear or desperation, and replace them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for their parents. Soften their hearts to the truth of the Gospel and draw them to Yourself. Use this situation to reveal Your love and faithfulness to them, that they may come to know You as their Savior.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would restore any areas of their faith that have been shaken by this trial. Remind them that You are their Good Shepherd, and they lack nothing in You (Psalm 23:1). Strengthen their trust in You alone, and let them walk in the fullness of Your purpose for their life.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above all names, the only name by which we are saved and have access to You. Amen.
In closing, we urge you to delete any communication with this individual and block them immediately. If you have already shared personal or financial information, contact your bank and local authorities to report the fraud. The Lord is your defender, and He will not leave you in lack. Trust in Him, lean on your church community, and walk in the wisdom of His Word. You are not alone, and we stand with you in prayer and support.
