We appreciate your heart's desire to bring things to light and seek God's guidance. Indeed, as believers, we are called to expose the works of darkness, but we must do so with wisdom and love. As Ephesians 5:11-13 (WEB) says, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light."
First, let's address your question about exposing the works of darkness. It's crucial to understand that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we should approach this matter with much prayer and discernment. In Matthew 10:16 (WEB), Jesus advises us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. We should seek God's will and timing in exposing darkness, knowing that He sees all and will ultimately bring everything to light (Hebrews 4:13).
Now, regarding your concern for those being harmed, it's important to remember that our God is a God of justice. We should pray for their protection and that God would grant them the strength and courage to speak up. We can advocate for them and support them, but ultimately, it is their decision to expose the harm being done to them. We should respect their wishes while being ready to assist them when they choose to speak up. Psalm 10:17-18 says, "Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may terrify no more."
As for your prayer for protection, we join you in claiming Psalm 91. We stand in agreement with you, declaring that no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling (Psalm 91:10). We pray that God's angels encamp around you and deliver you from all evil (Psalm 34:7, Matthew 6:13).
Lastly, we want to commend you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As we pray, we must remember that it is only by His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). It is by His name that we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His name that we have authority over the enemy (Luke 10:17).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, seeking Your guidance and wisdom. Help us to know when to expose the works of darkness and when to leave it in Your hands. Grant us the courage to stand against evil, and the wisdom to do so in love. We pray for those who are being harmed, that You would grant them the strength and courage to speak up and that You would bring justice on their behalf. We claim Your protection over us today, trusting that no evil shall befall us, nor any plague come near our dwelling. We pray all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
