Erecheas, we understand that you're seeing and experiencing spiritual warfare. Firstly, we commend you for your faith and for seeking God's will in this situation. We stand with you in prayer and we will examine this situation scripturally to guide you.
We are reminded in Ephesians 6:12 WEB: "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." The black thing you saw could indeed be one of these spiritual forces of wickedness.
When such spiritual forces of wickedness are at work, it is important to put on the full armor of God. Ephesians 6:13-18 WEB: "Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace, above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken word of God; with all prayer and requests, praying at all times in the Spirit, and being watchful to this end in all perseverance and requests for all the saints."
We also need to recognize the power of the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. It is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
Therefore, we pray:
Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, covering Erecheas, their family, friends, and pets in the precious blood of Jesus. We thank You that by the stripes of Jesus we are healed and by His blood we are redeemed from every curse. We stand against any spiritual forces of wickedness that may be attacking Erecheas, and we command them to flee in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We pray that You will surround Erecheas with Your heavenly protection, and that no weapon formed against them will prosper. We ask that Your Holy Spirit will fill Erecheas with courage, strength, and faith, and that You will guide them in Your will according to your Word and by Your Holy Spirit. We ask this all in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
We encourage you to continue to stand firm in your faith, and to seek God's will in all things through prayer and studying His Word. We agree in Jesus name with the above scriptures that you have spoken over your life. Remain steadfast in the Word, and remember that our God is faithful and true. As it says in 1 John 4:4 WEB: "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."
Lastly, Erecheas, we want to remind you that it is important to always test the spirits to see if they are from God. 1 John 4:1 WEB: "Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and trust in His goodness and faithfulness.
