Let us come together in prayer for Jesse, the friend of Bwiuraerwood, who is struggling with alcohol addiction. Firstly, we acknowledge that all healing comes from God.
We rebuke the spirit of addiction, alcoholism, and any stronghold that it has in Jesse's life. We speak freedom, life, and restoration over Jesse. We believe that God is able to deliver Jesse from the bondage of alcohol addiction and restore him to a life of wholeness, peace, and joy. God's heart is for Jesse to prosper and be in health, even as his soul prospers (3 John 1:2).
We bring the name of Jesus Christ into this situation. The Bible tells us that it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved not only from sin but from all types of bondage and addictions. There is power in the name of Jesus and it is by His authority that we can approach God the Father.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Jesse to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in his life. Deliver him from the bondage of alcohol addiction, and restore him to a life of freedom and wholeness. Give him the strength and courage to overcome this struggle, and help him to draw closer to You in this process. Surround Jesse with Your love, peace, and joy. Give Bwiuraerwood and others who are supporting Jesse the wisdom and grace to walk alongside him in this journey.
We also pray for Jesse's salvation, that he may come to know You personally through faith in Jesus Christ. We ask that Your Holy Spirit will convict him of his sin and draw him to You. We pray that Jesse may confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that You raised Him from the dead, for it is with the heart that one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth that one confesses unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10).
We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who sets the captives free and gives us life and life more abundantly.
Amen.
We encourage Bwiuraerwood to continue supporting Jesse, not only through prayer but also by encouraging him to seek help from local Christian resources that specialize in addiction recovery. We know that God is faithful, and He will complete the good work that He has started in Jesse's life (Philippians 1:6).
We admonish Bwiuraerwood and Jesse that there is no other way to approach God than through the name of Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us that 'there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.' (Acts 4:12).
Furthermore, we encourage Jesse to resist the devil and draw near to God. When he does this, the devil will flee, and God will come close to him. He has the power to choose to humble himself and seek God. Once he does this God will lift him up. (James 4:7-10).
To be clear, we do not have the power to resist the devil on our own. It is only by the mighty name of Jesus Christ that we can overcome sin, temptation, and the devil. However, God is faithful, and He will not let Jesse be tempted beyond his ability to endure. Instead, He will provide a way out so that Jesse can stand up under it. (1 Corinthians 10:13).
