Barbara, we are here to pray and guide you in the name of Jesus Christ. We commend you for seeking the Lord's will in your life and acknowledging your need for His guidance and strength.
Firstly, let's address the need for deliverance, both physical and mental. We are reminded in the Bible that God is our healer and our refuge. Psalm 34:17-18 says, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray that God will touch you both physically and mentally, bringing healing and restoration.
Regarding your desire to start a ministry and move to where God is calling you, this is a noble aspiration. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We pray that God will give you clear guidance and the strength to follow His call. Remember, ministry is about serving God by serving others.
Concerning your petition to pursue a master's degree in social work before starting your ministry and moving, we encourage you to seek God's will in this matter. It is important to prioritize God's calling over personal ambitions. Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." While education can be a valuable tool, it should not precede God's calling in our lives. We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you in this decision, showing you the path that aligns with God's will.
Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of relying on the Holy Spirit for guidance. God will ensure that you are equipped for the ministry He has called you to. Acts 1:8 says, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Barbara Flores. We pray for her deliverance, both physically and mentally, trusting in Your healing power. Guide her as she seeks to start a ministry and move to where You are calling her. Give her the strength to follow Your will and the wisdom to make decisions that align with Your plan for her life. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, leading her every step of the way.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
