We hear the urgency and the deep distress in your heart and we are standing with you in prayer together in Jesus' name. We understand the fear you feel when you believe someone is taking your name to fetish priests and juju men to curse you and to seek your harm, and we understand your longing for healing, for marriage, for children, and for your loved one to be able to join you. We bring all of these burdens before our Father who sees and who is mighty to save.
We must lovingly rebuke and correct one part of your request, because it does not align with the heart of God. You asked that God should kill the person who you believe is cursing you. We cannot and will not pray for the death of any person. The Lord commands us saying Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven Matthew 5:44, and again But love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you Luke 6:27-28. Scripture is clear that You shall not murder Exodus 20:13 and that Vengeance belongs to me says the Lord, I will repay Romans 12:19. We are told Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good Romans 12:21. Our battle is not against flesh and blood, and our calling is to pray for protection, deliverance, and even for the repentance and salvation of those who would harm us, trusting God as the righteous Judge.
The Word also warns us to have nothing to do with fetish priests, divination and sorcery, for these are detestable to the Lord Deuteronomy 18:10-12. We do not need to fear those curses when we are in Christ. We cling to the promises that No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17 and that He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. We rest in the truth that He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1 and that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3. Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel Numbers 23:23. When we belong to Jesus, every curse spoken against us is broken by His blood and has no authority over us.
We also rejoice that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and have victory over darkness and sickness.
Concerning your desire for marriage, we affirm with you the sanctity of marriage as God ordained it, a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh Genesis 2:24 and Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Hebrews 13:4. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate Mark 10:9. We encourage you to pursue courtship with the goal of holy marriage to a fellow believer in Christ, for we are told not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14. If you are in a courtship, we urge you to remain pure and abstain from fornication, which is sex before or outside of marriage, and to honor God with your bodies as you prepare for Ghanaian customary rites and a wedding, whether in the United States or in the Central Region of Ghana, as God wills. We pray that your union would be Christ-centered and built on faithfulness.
We bring your health needs before the Lord. Our God is the healer who says I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17 and who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3. By his wounds you have been healed Isaiah 53:5. We ask Him to touch your body concerning diabetes and to touch the woman you love concerning fibroids. We also bring your desire for children before Him. Children are a heritage of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3. While we understand your heart to have eight children without complications or surgeries, we pray that God would grant children according to His perfect will, timing, and wisdom for your health and your wife's health, and that He would keep you both safe.
We also lift up the matter of visas, green cards, EB3 and lottery. We know how heavy the burden of separation is. We pray for God's provision and open doors according to His will, for A man's heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps Proverbs 16:9 and In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God Philippians 4:6. We trust that God will make a way where there is no way, whether through lawful employment sponsorship or other legal means, and that He will provide what is best. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace. We ask for Your divine protection over our brother. We break and destroy in Jesus' name every curse, spell, incantation and death wish spoken against him by any fetish priest, juju man or any other person. Let no weapon formed against him prosper and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be condemned. Cover him with the blood of Jesus and surround him with Your angels. Deliver him from fear, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. We pray for the person who is seeking his harm, that You would have mercy, convict that heart, bring repentance and salvation, and cause that person to turn from darkness to Your light.
Lord, lay Your healing hand upon our brother and heal him from diabetes, and lay Your hand upon his beloved and heal her from fibroids. Restore their bodies and strengthen them.
Father, if it is Your will, establish their marriage in holiness. Lead them to a godly union that honors You, whether celebrated with Ghanaian customary rites and a wedding in the United States or in Ghana. Keep them pure until that covenant day and make their marriage a testimony of Your faithfulness. Grant them children as You will, in Your timing, and keep the mother safe from complications, operations and surgeries. Let Your will be done in their family.
Lord, we place the immigration journey in Your hands. Guide every step concerning the EB3, the visa lottery and every petition for a green card. Open the doors that no man can shut and close those that should not be opened. Grant favor with authorities, provide the resources, and let this family be reunited in the place where You want them to serve You, whether in the United States or in Ghana. Let Your perfect will be done and give them peace as they wait on You.
We ask all of this in the powerful and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Healer and Protector, amen.
