We hear the heaviness and the many burdens you have carried and we join with you before the throne of grace together in Jesus name to seek God's will and His deliverance.
We lift up your struggle with sexual addiction and maladaptive daydreaming. We want to speak with love and truth about this. God calls us to purity and to honor Him with our bodies, for our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit. The scripture says Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body 1 Corinthians 6:18 and also For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4. Sexual addiction, though it may have deep roots and reasons behind it, is still fornication before God when acted upon outside of marriage between a man and a woman, and it must be repented of and forsaken. Maladaptive daydreaming often feeds this by allowing the mind to dwell in fantasy rather than truth. God calls us to renewal of the mind, Be transformed by the renewing of your mind Romans 12:2 and to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5. We pray that the Lord will set you free by the power of the Holy Spirit, for Walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh Galatians 5:16. We ask God to break every chain, to heal the underlying wounds that have made you vulnerable to these escapes, to fill your mind with His Word and His presence, and to give you accountability and strength to walk in holiness day by day.
We also lift up the African American community as you asked. We pray that God will pour out truth and light where there have been false teachings and wolves who lead people astray. Jesus warned, Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves Matthew 7:15. We pray that the Lord will expose and remove those who exploit and harm, and that He will raise up faithful teachers and shepherds who preach the true gospel of Christ without compromise, who will not tickle ears but will preach the Word in season and out of season 2 Timothy 4:2-3. We pray for healing and protection from racism and hatred from any source. Every person is made in the image of God Genesis 1:27 and From one blood he made every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth Acts 17:26. We ask the Lord to be your defender, to heal the wounds of rejection and hatred, and to let His love and justice prevail, for He has said Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord Romans 12:19, and He is close to the brokenhearted Psalm 34:18.
We bring your business before the Lord. We ask that He would provide the funds you need according to His riches in glory Philippians 4:19 and that He would establish the work of your hands. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed Proverbs 16:3. We pray that every hurdle you are facing would be overcome by His wisdom and favor, that your business would be built on integrity and would prosper in a way that honors Him and blesses others.
We pray for your deliverance from demonic harassment that has targeted you for years. We do not take this lightly, for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers Ephesians 6:12. We pray that you would be strong in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11, and that as you submit yourself to God and resist the devil he will flee from you James 4:7. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and by which we have authority, that every harassing spirit would be rebuked and removed, and that you would walk in peace and protection, for The Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
We lift up your physical suffering with your menstrual condition. The Lord sees your pain and He cares. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3 and He has promised I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds Jeremiah 30:17. We pray for your healing in body and mind during these cycles, for relief from the physical and mental burden, and for strength to endure. We also pray for all women who suffer with this same condition, that God would bring comfort, healing, and in His mercy a cure.
We pray for your ex. We thank God that you love him enough to pray for his salvation and not to pursue a relationship that would not honor God. You have said you love him but you cannot be together, and we affirm that wisdom. God calls us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14 and to pursue courtship only with the goal of godly marriage between a man and a woman who are both believers in Christ, keeping ourselves pure and fleeing fornication. We pray that God would draw him truly to Christ, that he would be born again by faith in 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. We pray for his health in the midst of serious and life threatening problems, that God would heal him and sustain him, for Beloved, we pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers 3 John 1:2. We pray that God would give him a wake up call, heal his trauma and emotional and behavioral issues, and lead him to repentance and wholeness. We also lift up his loved ones for their salvation and wellbeing.
We pray for your entire family to be delivered from occult involvement and for your mother to be set free from serious mental illness. God is clear that occult practices are an abomination to Him and must be renounced, for There shall not be found with you anyone who practices divination or sorcery Deuteronomy 18:10. We ask the Lord to bring conviction, to break every tie to darkness, and to lead your family into the light of Christ. For your mother and others who struggle with mental illness, we pray for the peace of God which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7 to guard their hearts and minds, for healing and clarity, and for the right help and support, trusting that God is able to restore and to keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him Isaiah 26:3.
Father, we come together in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, asking for freedom, for truth to prevail, for provision, for healing, for protection, and for salvation for all who are lost. Wash us in the blood of Jesus, forgive our sins, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit that we may walk in holiness and freedom. We trust that You hear us when we ask according to Your will and in the name of Jesus. Amen.
