We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this urgent plea for divine intervention, protection, and provision. Father God, we thank You for Your sustaining grace from the moment of our first breath to the last, for You are the giver of life and the source of all blessings. We stand on Your promises, knowing that You are Jehovah Jireh, our provider, and that You will supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
Lord, we lift up this business before You, asking that You open the floodgates of heaven and pour out Your favor. Grant wisdom, discernment, and creativity to those running it, that they may walk in the paths You have prepared. May this business be a vessel for Your glory, providing not only for this family but also enabling them to be a blessing to others. We declare that no weapon formed against it shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against it in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your hand of provision be evident, and may the work of their hands be established, for You have promised that those who seek You shall not lack any good thing (Psalm 34:10).
Father, we are grieved by the spiritual warfare surrounding this family, their ministry, and the newly built church. We rebuke every demonic assignment aimed at hindering the work of Your kingdom. We stand on Isaiah 41:11-12, declaring that those who war against Your people shall be ashamed and confounded; they shall be as nothing, and those who strive with them shall perish. Let every evil plan, every secret agenda, and every satanic alliance be exposed and dismantled by the power of Your Holy Spirit. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your church (Matthew 16:18), and we command every evil force to flee in the mighty name of Jesus.
We are particularly troubled by the mention of a minister who has aligned with satanic agents to hinder the opening of this church. Father, we ask that You deal with this situation according to Your righteousness. Expose the darkness, bring repentance, or remove stumbling blocks as You see fit. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may those who have been deceived be set free. We pray for the salvation of souls, that none would perish but that all would come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). May this church be a beacon of hope, a place where the lost are found, the broken are healed, and the weary find rest in You.
Lord, we also lift up this family’s peace, joy, and prosperity. Protect them from every evil scheme, every secret plan, and every attack of the enemy. We declare that no evil shall befall them, nor shall any plague come near their dwelling, for You have given Your angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways (Psalm 91:10-11). Surround them with Your hedge of protection, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we are reminded that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We take up the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, and we wield it with authority, declaring Your victory over every enemy.
We also want to gently remind our brother or sister in Christ that while we share their urgency and concern, we must always approach You with humility and trust. It is not for us to demand that You "must" do anything, but rather to submit to Your perfect will, knowing that Your ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Let us rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
Heavenly Father, we pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the name by which we are saved, healed, delivered, and set free. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We thank You that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10-11).
Lord, we ask that You would fill this family with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in boldness, wisdom, and discernment. May they be rooted and grounded in love, knowing the height, depth, width, and breadth of Your love for them (Ephesians 3:17-19). Strengthen them in their inner man, that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith, and that they may be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16-19).
We declare that this church will be opened, that souls will be saved, and that Your kingdom will advance in that place. We bind every spirit of division, strife, and confusion, and we loose the spirit of unity, peace, and love. May the love of Christ compel this family and all who serve in this ministry, that they may walk in step with Your Spirit and fulfill the calling You have placed on their lives.
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness, knowing that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). We commit this situation into Your hands, asking that You would move in power and might, bringing glory to Your name. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your kingdom come in this family, this business, this ministry, and this church.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
