We understand that you are facing a challenging situation due to an eviction letter for unpaid rent, and we appreciate your honesty in acknowledging the role that gambling has played in this. We are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, it is commendable that you have recognized the spirit of gambling and its destructive influence on your life. The Bible tells us to be sober-minded and watchful, as our adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour 1 Peter 5:8 WEB. Gambling is a form of greed and love for money, which is a root of all kinds of evil 1 Timothy 6:10 WEB.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Dupedane, who has been ensnared by the spirit of gambling. We thank You for opening their eyes to this destructive behavior, and we ask for Your mercy and forgiveness. Deliver them from this bondage, Lord, and help them to walk in freedom. We pray a hedge of protection around Dupedane to prevent gambling or any other immoral means of gaining money, and that they will be able to remove gamblingin any form from their life.
Father, we also ask for Your intervention in their financial situation. We pray that You will reverse the eviction letter in Your way and according to Your will. Provide for Dupedane's needs according to Your riches in glory, and help them to manage their finances wisely and responsibly.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke the spirit of gambling and any other evil spirits that may be influencing Dupedane's life. We declare that Dupedane is free from this bondage and is walking in the fullness of life that Jesus Christ offers.
Father, we also pray for Dupedane's landlord, that You will soften their heart and that they will act with mercy and compassion. We ask that You will work everything out for Dupedane's good and Your glory.
Give Dupedane a greater awareness that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. Their calling as a Christian is to believe in and obey Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.Thankfully, God has provided a way out of temptation. He is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel and accountability to help you overcome this struggle. Surround yourself with believers who can support and encourage you in your walk with Christ, also make use of gambling and addiction resources where you can find Christians who have also suffered from addictions. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB
We are reminded that God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 WEB. Trust in Him, and He will see you through this challenging time. Don't forget also to give as much as you are able, so that in return you may receive a blessing. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
