Lealand Wray, we join you in prayer for freedom from the bondage of a works-based salvation, self-righteousness, legalism, and religious pride. We seek God's will together in Jesus' name, trusting in His promises as outlined in the Word.
Firstly, we acknowledge your heartfelt desire to be Jesus-conscious rather than self-conscious. The Bible tells us that our salvation is not by works but by grace through faith: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved, not by our own efforts or behavior.
We rebuke the lies of the enemy that try to make you rely on your own actions for salvation. Jesus alone is our Savior, and He has done all that is necessary for our salvation. As it is written, "Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:5, WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, seeking freedom for Lealand Wray. Lord, we ask that You break the chains of works-based salvation, self-righteousness, legalism, and pride that have held Lealand bound. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
Lord, we thank You for the gift of salvation through faith alone in Jesus Christ. Help Lealand to walk in this truth, to rest in Your grace, and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Continue the good work You have started in Lealand, and may they be a testimony of Your love and mercy.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lealand, continue to seek the Lord and His righteousness. Trust in His promises and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. As you walk in faith, remember that "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who donโt walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit" (Romans 8:1, WEB). Rest assured that your salvation is secure in Christ, not in your own efforts.
