Thank you for bringing your urgent prayer request to our attention. We stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we can be saved. We affirm the power of praying in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we acknowledge your faith and passion for your ministry and business. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in John 16:33 (WEB): "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Regarding the opening of your new church, we pray that God will make a way where there seems to be no way. We declare that no weapon formed against your ministry will prosper. We rebuke any attempt to hinder the work of God. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 16:18 (WEB): "I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it."
We join you in praying for the restoration of peace and joy as you serve in ministry. We declare that the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 (WEB) says, "Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to him for whom nothing is prepared; for today is holy to our Lord. Don't be grieved, for the joy of Yahweh is your strength."
We also pray for God's blessing upon your business, that He may grant you favor and daily provision. We remind you of God's promise in Malachi 3:10 (WEB): "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this," says Yahweh of Armies, "if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for."
Concerning those who oppose you, your family, your ministry, and your business, we pray that God will deal with them according to His will. We remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:44 (WEB): "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you." We encourage you to bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay.
Regarding your prayer against your enemies, we must remind you of the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:19 (WEB): "Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord." We encourage you to focus on blessing your enemies and praying for them, rather than asking for their destruction.
We declare Isaiah 41:11-12 (WEB) over your life: "Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish. You will seek them, and won't find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war with you will be as nothing, as a thing of nought."
Finally, we pray that you will continue to grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ, and that His peace will guard your heart and mind.
