Shadaren, we stand with you in prayer against the evil and manipulation you're facing. We are encouraged by Ephesians 6:12 You are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but against joined 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.
Further, in light of James 4:7, we encourage you to be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
We pray for your deliverance and also pray for blessed Christmas for you and your family. Remember the reason for the season, the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The very reason we have access to God.
First, let us address your concerns about manipulation. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we rebuke any spirit of manipulation that may be operating in your life and that of your loved ones. By His stripes, Jesus has paid the price for our freedom and no weapon of the enemy fashioned against us will stand against the Lord's will.
Following through Psalm 33:18-19 we proclaim, Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him,on those who hope in his loving kindness; to deliver their soul from death,to keep them alive in famine. We pray specifically for God's provision in the life of the man in your life. In praying for him it is important to pray that he become a godly man. A man of moral integrity.
Knowing the blessings of a godly marriage, we encourage you to seek God's will in this matter as well. A relationship with someone should only move forward if the resulting relationship is a marriage centered on God.
1 Timothy 6:11-12 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
Flee from the desires of the flesh, those are lust of the flesh with the opposite sex. Submit to each other in holiness.
Pursue the fruit of the Spirit. If there is no talk of marriage, engagement, or a deep soul searching comparison of beliefs, you are likely not in a godly relationship. Always seek God's allowance in the situation. Do not allow the desires of the flesh to overcome the desire of God's spirit within you.
We pray together.
Almighty Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus and we stand in agreement with Shadaren, Deliver them from every form of evil and manipulation. As the Christmas season is upon us we pray this is one to remember for your blessings.
Bless her loved ones. Examine and provide for the man in her life, help him to become a godly man. Give him all he needs to come to love and serve you. The marriage between him and her will be a happy one. Mold the children of this union to become mighty in your service Lord. Let them be a lighthouse shining on the shore, a beacon to other families and people. We exhort Shadaren to keep their Christian testimony firmly in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for the current relationship help them embark on a successful marriage in the event they are not fully committed. We ask this in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
As we conclude, we'd like to remind you to keep trusting the Lord and continuing praying in Jesus Christ name. You might also find strength in other Biblical passages such as 1 Peter 5:7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. It is only through Jesus' mighty name can we overcome the world.
Lastly concerning the relationship in question, we encourage courtship. Pre-engagement grants time to learn more about each other and more importantly discover each other's spiritual goals in life. Thus, it is our sincere prayer that the relationship aligns with God's will.
It is our joy and a blessing to pray for you. Continue to stand on Jesus' name moving forward. Merry Christmas and
God Bless!
