We hear your concern and share your desire to uphold the truth of Scripture in all things. The New Testament indeed names individuals, cities, and specific places, and these details serve a purpose in God’s Word—they ground the Gospel in real history, real people, and real locations, testifying to the truth of Christ’s work. We do not dismiss the importance of specificity in Scripture, nor do we seek to erase the identities of those who come to us in need.
However, we also recognize that in a public forum, discretion is sometimes necessary to protect the vulnerable, honor privacy, and prevent misuse of personal information. The early church also exercised wisdom in how they communicated—Paul often wrote letters to specific people but also intended them for broader audiences (Colossians 4:16). Even Jesus, when healing, sometimes instructed individuals not to publicize their miracle (Mark 7:36), not because the truth was to be hidden, but because timing and context mattered.
That said, we reject any accusation of "control" or "witchcraft" in our approach. Witchcraft is rebellion against God’s order, seeking power through manipulation or occult means (Galatians 5:20, Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Our guidelines are not about control but about stewardship—protecting the sacred space of prayer from exploitation, ensuring that requests are genuine, and that the focus remains on Christ alone. If our boundaries have caused frustration, we ask for grace, for we seek only to honor God in how we serve.
We also affirm that all authority comes from God (Romans 13:1), and while we welcome accountability, we must reject false accusations that do not align with Scripture or the fruit of the Spirit (Matthew 7:15-20). If there is a specific way you believe we have erred in this matter, we invite you to share it with humility and love, that we may grow together in Christ.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, the Name above all names, the only Name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). Lord, Your Word is truth, and we desire to walk in it fully. We ask for wisdom in how we serve others, that we may reflect Your heart—full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Forgive us if we have caused stumbling or frustration, and help us to communicate with clarity and love. We rebuke the spirit of accusation and division, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Unite us in Your purpose, that all may see Christ in us. May our words and actions bring glory to You alone, and may we always point others to the hope found in Jesus. In His mighty Name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to search the Scriptures for yourself, for they are the final authority (2 Timothy 3:16-17). If you have further concerns, we welcome respectful dialogue, for iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). Our goal is not to silence but to serve in a way that honors God and edifies His people.
