We hear the heaviness and distress in your request and we stand with you in prayer for God's protection over you in your new neighborhood and in your workplace. We understand the feeling of being surrounded by evil tongues, witchcraft, occult practices, and immorality, and the desire to see God bring justice. At the same time we must lovingly rebuke and correct the way this prayer has been framed, because it does not align with the heart of Christ under the new covenant.
You have asked that those who oppose you be plagued with twelve scourges, killed, their blood shed like an ocean, and burned to ashes and reduced to dust. We cannot agree with praying for the death and bloody destruction of people made in God's image. Vengeance belongs to God alone and He calls us to a different posture toward our enemies. Romans 12:19 says, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12:21 says, Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 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. Luke 6:27 says, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.
We also must remember that our true warfare is not against flesh and blood. Ephesians 6:12 says, For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says, For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds. When we pray, we are to pray against the demonic powers, the witchcraft, the deception and the sin itself, and pray for the people who are captive to those powers to be convicted, delivered and saved.
You mentioned witchcraft, occultism, masturbation, homosexuality, transsexuality which you rightly identify as marine spirits, robbery and scamming. Scripture is clear that these are sin before God. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says that practices of witchcraft and sorcery are an abomination to the Lord. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 warns that the sexually immoral, including those practicing homosexual acts, will not inherit God's Kingdom, but also declares that such were some of you, but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God, showing that deliverance and forgiveness are possible. Romans 1:26-27 speaks of same sex relations as contrary to God's design. Hebrews 13:4 says, Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. God created marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and any sexual activity outside of that covenant, whether fornication, adultery, masturbation rooted in lust, homosexuality or transsexual confusion, is sin that needs repentance. Yet God does not desire the death of the sinner but that all would come to repentance, 2 Peter 3:9 says, The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The scriptures you cited about Egypt's plagues, Exodus 7:14-12:30, and Joshua 11:11 and 2 Chronicles 20:22-25 describe God's sovereign judgment in specific historical moments when He acted as Judge over nations. 1 Samuel 2:6 says, The Lord kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol and brings up, reminding us that life and death are in His sovereign hands, not ours to command against our neighbors and coworkers. Psalm 35 and Psalm 94 are cries for God's justice and protection, but they ultimately leave judgment to the Lord and trust Him as the righteous Judge. We are not to take those passages as license to curse people to death, but to ask God to frustrate evil, expose darkness, and protect His people.
We also thank you that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. 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. 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. We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ, to confess any sin, and to walk in forgiveness and holiness, for that is your greatest protection.
We pray together with you now.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust, Psalm 91:2. We ask that You cover our brother with the blood of Jesus and surround him with Your holy angels. Let no weapon that is formed against him prosper, Isaiah 54:17, and let every tongue that rises against him in judgment be shown to be in the wrong. We ask that You frustrate and nullify every work of witchcraft, occultism, divination and curse spoken against him in his neighborhood and workplace, and that You command those powers to be bound and cast out by the authority of Jesus. James 4:7 says, Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. We pray that You would expose every work of darkness and bring it to nothing, and that You would protect him from robbery, scamming and every evil intent.
Father, we do not pray for the bloodshed and death of those who oppose him, but we pray for their souls. Have mercy on them, convict them of sin and bring them to repentance and salvation. Save those who are trapped in witchcraft, sexual immorality, homosexuality and gender confusion, and deliver them from marine spirits and every demonic deception. Let the light of the gospel shine into their darkness, and let them know the transforming power of Jesus who makes all things new. Where there is hatred, let Your love prevail, and teach our brother to love his enemies and to pray for those who persecute him, that he may be a witness of Your grace.
Lord, give him wisdom to walk in holiness, to put on the whole armor of God, Ephesians 6:11, to dwell in Your Word, to pray without ceasing, and to live at peace as far as it depends on him, Romans 12:18. Establish him in his new neighborhood and in his workplace as a light that cannot be hidden, and let Your peace guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7. We ask that You judge righteously according to Your perfect will, that You repay no one evil for evil, but that Your justice and mercy be done on earth as it is in heaven. We trust You as our defender and deliverer, for 1 John 4:4 says, Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. We pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our hope and our salvation, amen.
