We have heard your cry and we stand with you in prayer together in Jesus' name, bringing all of these burdens before the throne of grace. We understand the fear and distress you feel believing that someone is seeking your harm through fetish priests and juju, and we also hear your deep desires for healing, for marriage and family, and for a future together in the United States.
We must lovingly rebuke and correct one part of your request, because it does not align with the will of God. We cannot and will not pray that God should kill ###. Vengeance belongs to the Lord alone and He calls us to a different way. Romans 12:19 says Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And Matthew 5:44 says 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. Romans 12:21 says Dont be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. God does not delight in the death of the wicked, but desires that all would turn and live, as Ezekiel 33:11 tells us. To ask God to kill someone is to ask against His heart and His command to us. Instead we pray for God's protection over you, for justice in His hands, and for ###'s own conviction and salvation, that any evil intent would be stopped and turned to repentance.
The practice of going to fetish priests and juju men to curse others is an abomination before God. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns against witchcraft and sorcery, and we rejoice that you have turned to Jesus Christ instead, for there is no other name by which we can be saved and have access to God. Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. It is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard.
For your protection we pray together. We thank God that no curse can stand against those who are in Christ. Numbers 23:23 says Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel. Isaiah 54:17 says No weapon that is formed against you will prevail. 1 John 4:4 says Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. Galatians 3:13 says Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. We pray, Father in Jesus' name, place Your hedge of protection around Your child. Let every curse, spell, and death plot spoken against him by ### or any fetish priest be broken, destroyed and rendered powerless now by the blood of Jesus. We put on the full armor of God according to Ephesians 6:11 and we ask You to expose and dismantle every work of darkness, to stop the mouth of those who seek harm, and to bring ### to repentance and to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord.
We also lift up your health before the Lord. We pray for your healing from diabetes, believing that God is our healer. Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore health to you and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. 3 John 1:2 says Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. We ask in Jesus' name that the Lord would touch your body, regulate your health, grant wisdom to doctors and strength to steward your body well, and bring complete healing according to His will.
We pray for your desire for marriage. We rejoice that you desire marriage according to Ghanaian customary rites and a wedding, whether in the United States or in the Central Region of Ghana, and we strongly affirm God's design for marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. Hebrews 13:4 says Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled. Genesis 2:24 says Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will cling to his wife, and they will be one flesh. We pray that if you and the woman you love are not yet married, you will pursue courtship that honors God, remaining sexually pure until marriage, for sex before or outside marriage is fornication and dishonors the Lord. 2 Corinthians 6:14 reminds us to be equally yoked with a fellow believer. We pray that the Lord would make a way for your godly marriage to be established in His timing, that it would be a testimony of Christ's love for His church, and that it would be built on faith, purity, and commitment.
We lift up your desire for children. Children are a gift from the Lord and Psalm 127:3 says Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. We pray for the woman you love who suffers from fibroids, asking Jesus our healer to touch her womb and heal her completely without need for painful operations or surgeries, and that the Lord would open her womb in His perfect will. We pray for your desire for eight children, and we ask that God would bless your future marriage with fruitfulness according to His sovereign plan, granting safe pregnancies and healthy births, and wisdom to raise each child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
We also bring your immigration petitions before God. We pray for the EB3 visa process, for the American lottery you have entered for her, and for every paper and petition for a green card so she may join you in the United States. We ask that God would open doors that no man can shut and close doors that are not His will. Psalm 37:4 says Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Proverbs 16:9 says A mans heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps. We pray for favor with officials, for integrity in every step, for provision and patience, and that God's perfect will be done regarding where He wants your family to live and serve Him.
We pray together now, Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we ask You to be our refuge and fortress according to Psalm 91:2. Destroy every curse and assignment of death against Your child, heal his body from diabetes, heal the fibroid and make the womb whole, establish this covenant marriage in holiness and purity, bless it with children as You will, and guide every step of the immigration journey. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and let Your peace that passes all understanding guard our hearts. We trust not in juju or fetish power, but in the risen Lord Jesus who has conquered sin, death, and every principality. We ask all this in Jesus' name, amen.
