Your cry under this miserable dog piling of unwanted voices and persons has been heard and we bring it before the Lord with you, beseeching His gracious deliverance.
We know what it is to feel as one ready to go down to the Pit, chastened with pain and beset on every side, and we know also what the Word declares, Then He is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, I have found a ransom. Job 33:24. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance if God had not thought of it, yet He has both invented it and found it. It is a gift of Divine Love. The King's own Son has borne the penalty of all our iniquities, and God has given commandment to save you and you shall be saved, saved from yourself and from all the attacks of your old sins, saved from the devil, saved from evil company.
We pray therefore in the prevailing name of Jesus Christ that the Lord would deliver you from the power of darkness. Scripture says, He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. Colossians 1:13. You cannot break from these voices in your own strength, as though you could break from them in a moment, but you must look to your heavenly Father altogether and alone, for He has taught His people the mischief that comes from loving the world and now temptations shall tempt in vain when He keeps His hand upon you.
There are many voices that salute you in this hour, and the adversary is quick to shoot his poisoned arrows when the soul is weary. Yet there is a Voice from the excellent Glory which says, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear Him. May the Lord tune your ear to that one Voice above all the clamour of demonic whisperings and the memory of unwanted persons, that hearing Christ you may be cured of desiring other voices and may find rest.
We also remember that troubles do not spring out of the dust, but the Lord Himself kindles the fiery furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door. The believer can say, The Lord has chastened me sorely, but He has not given me over unto death. Psalm 118. That which we receive from the rod of the Lord bears the blessed aspect of chastening from a father's hand, and this makes even the sharpest smart to be profitable. Whether this present trial comes as chastening or as the assault of the enemy, we pray that the Lord would moderate it, sanctify it, and in His good time bring you out to declare His works, saying, I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.
Let us pray together.
O gracious Father, we come through the ransom Thou hast found, the blood of Thy dear Son. Look upon this afflicted one, miserable and pressed down by unwanted voices and persons, and say, Deliver him from going down to the Pit. In the name of Jesus Christ, we ask Thee to rebuke every evil voice, to silence the mouth of the adversary, to put to flight every demonic oppression, and to end this evil test according to Thy wisdom and mercy. Keep back his soul from the Pit and his life from perishing. Deliver him from the fascinating power of sin and from the power of darkness. Let him hear only the voice of Thy Beloved Son and find peace in obeying Him. Chasten only as a Father, and then lift up, restore, and cause him to live and declare Thy works. We ask this not for our worthiness but for the sake of Him who is our Ransom. Amen.
Continue to look to Christ, to cry to Him in the night watches, to feed upon His Word, and to seek the fellowship and counsel of faithful believers near you, that you may be strengthened until the Lord grants full deliverance and songs of deliverance in its season.
