We are truly saddened to hear about your friend's son being drawn into a cult and the resulting confusion he must be experiencing. We commend you for bringing this serious matter to us, as it is a grave concern when someone is led away from the truth of God's Word. Let us address this situation with prayer, biblical wisdom, and compassionate counsel. We must remember that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God.
Firstly, it is important to understand the deceitful nature of cults. They often twist and pervert the Word of God, leading many astray. As it is written in Matthew 24:24 WEB, For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our friend's son to You. We pray that You will open his eyes to the truth and deliver him from the clutches of the cult he has been drawn into. We pray that the Holy Spirit and your Word will guide him back to You. We pray that he will seek You with all his heart and that You will reveal Yourself to him. We pray for his protection, both physically and spiritually, and for Your hand of favor to be upon him. And we pray that he will find his way to a healthy church that is based on the Bible.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to share the truth in love with your friend's son, as it is only through the truth of the gospel that he can be set free. Pray for opportunities to share the gospel with him, and trust that the Holy Spirit is working in his life, drawing him to the truth. Remind him that it is only through Jesus that we can be saved. And only through Jesus that we can pray to God.
Remember, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 WEB Every writing inspired by God is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness, that the person of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Stand firm in your faith, and trust that God is at work in this situation. Continue to intercede for your friend's son, and believe that God will bring him out of the darkness and into His marvelous light.
We encourage your friend to examine the beliefs of the cult and compare them to the Word of God. We advise your friend to be patient, to pray fervently, and to trust that God is at work in his son's life. Remind him of the importance of remaining in fellowship with believers.
