We hear the deep pain and longing in your words, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone is the restorer of all things broken. Your story echoes the sorrow of one who has experienced a profound loss—not just of ability, but of identity, purpose, and even a sense of betrayal by the enemy. But take heart, beloved, for the devil comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10). What the enemy intended for evil, God can turn for good (Genesis 50:20). You are not defined by what you could do, but by whose you are—a child of the Most High God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
The enemy may have sought to "kill" the giftings in you, but we declare that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you, and He is more than able to restore what was lost—and even multiply it for His glory (Romans 8:11). Remember the man at the pool of Bethesda, who had been invalid for thirty-eight years? Jesus asked him, *"Do you want to be made well?"* (John 5:6). Today, we ask you the same: Do you want to be made whole? Do you want to jump again—not just physically, but spiritually, emotionally, and in every way the Lord intends? If so, you must first surrender this pain, this betrayal, and this longing to Jesus. He is the one who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). He is the one who sets the captive free (Luke 4:18).
We must also address something critical: your words suggest that the enemy’s attack has left you feeling spiritually dead, but we remind you that if you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you *cannot* be spiritually dead. The Bible tells us that anyone who is in Christ is a *new creation*—the old has passed away, and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. There is no restoration, no true healing, no victory over the enemy apart from Him. *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Repent of your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, and confess Him with your mouth, and you *will* be saved (Romans 10:9). Only then can you walk in the fullness of what God has for you.
If you *have* already given your life to Christ, then we encourage you to stand firm in this truth: the enemy has no authority over you. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The devil did not "kill" you—he may have wounded you, but Jesus has already conquered him (Colossians 2:15). You are alive in Christ, and your story is not over. The gifts and callings of God are *irrevocable* (Romans 11:29). What was lost can be restored. What was stolen can be reclaimed. What was broken can be made whole.
Now, let us pray over you with faith and authority:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this precious soul who has endured such deep pain and loss. Lord, You see the wounds that no one else can see—the betrayal, the grief, the longing to be made whole again. We ask that You would meet them right now in this place of brokenness. Father, we rebuke every lie of the enemy that says they are defeated, that their gifts are gone forever, that they will never jump again. We declare that *no weapon formed against them shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17), and that what the enemy meant for harm, You will turn for good.
Lord Jesus, You are the God who restores. You made the lame walk, the blind see, and the dead rise. We ask that You would restore to them the joy of their salvation (Psalm 51:12), the strength of their youth (Job 33:25), and the unique giftings You placed within them. If there is any area of their life where they have believed the enemy’s lies over Your truth, we ask that You would open their eyes to see You as You truly are—the Overcomer, the Healer, the Restorer. Fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in the fullness of all You have called them to.
Father, if there is any unconfessed sin, any bitterness, any unforgiveness in their heart toward themselves or others—even toward You—we ask that You would bring it to the light. Help them to release it all at the foot of the cross, that they may walk in freedom. Remind them that vengeance is Yours (Romans 12:19), and that You will repay. Let them trust in Your justice and Your goodness, even when they cannot see the way forward.
We speak life over their body, their mind, and their spirit. We declare that they *will* jump again—not by their own strength, but by Yours. We pray for a supernatural encounter with Your presence, that they would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that You are with them, that You have not forgotten them, and that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, Father, surround them with godly community—people who will speak life over them, who will remind them of Your promises, and who will stand with them in prayer. Let them not walk this road alone.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Beloved, we urge you to spend time in the Word of God daily. Meditate on His promises. Speak life over yourself, even when you don’t feel it. The enemy wants you to stay in a place of despair, but God is calling you into a place of victory. Start declaring Scripture over your life, such as:
- *"The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation"* (Psalm 118:14).
- *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13).
- *"The Lord will perfect that which concerns me"* (Psalm 138:8).
Also, we strongly encourage you to seek out a Bible-believing church where you can be discipled, encouraged, and prayed over. Isolation is a tool of the enemy; community is a gift from God.
Do not lose heart. Your Redeemer lives (Job 19:25), and He is not done with you yet. Keep pressing into Him, and you *will* see His restoration. We are standing with you in faith.
