We join you at this very hour in crying out for this dear sister who is undergoing high risk surgery following a stroke, and we lift her up together before the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus.
We are deeply moved by your urgent burden for her and we stand in agreement for a miracle of healing and restoration. Our God is the Lord who heals us and nothing is impossible for Him. We take comfort in His promises that He is our refuge and our healer. Psalm 103:3 says He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We cling to these truths for her now.
We also hear your concern regarding witchcraft, incantations, spells and other malicious intent, including what has been attributed to her ex-husband. We want to gently and firmly remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, and that Jesus Christ has already triumphed over all darkness. The Word tells us there must not be found among you anyone who practices divination or sorcery or witchcraft, for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh in Deuteronomy 18:10 and Deuteronomy 18:12. Yet we do not need to fear any curse or conjuration when we are in Christ, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world in 1 John 4:4, and no weapon that is formed against you will prevail in Isaiah 54:17. We do not overcome evil by focusing on it, but by trusting in the supreme authority of Jesus and by walking in forgiveness. We encourage you not to harbor accusation or hatred toward her ex-husband, but to release him to God, for Romans 12:19 says Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord. We pray for his soul as well, that he would come to repentance and to the knowledge of Christ if he does not know Him.
We now pray together:
Heavenly Father, in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we come before You on behalf of this precious sister. Lord, You know her by name, You formed her and You see her lying in need of Your mercy at this precise moment. We ask for Your hand to be upon her, to pour out Your Holy Spirit upon her and to grant her complete healing, deliverance and full restoration according to Your perfect will. Guide the hands and minds of every surgeon, nurse and medical professional attending her, grant them wisdom, steadiness and clarity beyond human ability. We ask that You would command this stroke and its effects to be healed, that You would preserve her life, restore her body and bring her back to health for Your glory. We declare in Jesus name that every work of darkness, every hex, spell, voodoo, black magic or malicious intent directed against her is rendered null and void by the blood of Jesus and by Your divine authority, for we have been delivered out of the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of the Son of His love in Colossians 1:13. Let no fear remain, let Your perfect love cast out all fear, and let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard her heart and the hearts of those who love her. We also lift up her ex-husband to You, asking for Your conviction, mercy and salvation to reach him, and we choose forgiveness as You have forgiven us. Father, we trust her life into Your hands, believing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. We pray all of this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only hope and healer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray without ceasing and to trust the Lord through this surgery and recovery, knowing that James 5:15 says the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, rest in His sovereignty, and let His peace sustain you while you wait for His answer.
