Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother in Christ who has been delivered from the sin of lust and pornography after 40 years. We thank You, Lord, for Your mighty deliverance and for breaking the chains that once bound him. We praise You for Your mercy and grace that have brought him this far.
Lord, we sense that he is experiencing an evil presence around him, and we stand with him in rebuking this presence in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Your Word tells us in James 4:7, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We pray that our brother will continue to submit to You and resist the devil, knowing that he must flee.
Father, we ask for Your strength and wisdom to fill him. Grant him the discernment to recognize the enemy's tactics and the courage to stand firm in his faith. As Ephesians 6:10-11 says, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes." May he be clothed in Your armor, protected by Your truth, righteousness, and salvation.
Holy Spirit, guide him to walk in Your ways and to live by Your Spirit. Let him not gratify the desires of the flesh but be led by Your Spirit in all things. Galatians 5:16 reminds us, "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Empower him to live a life that honors You and reflects Your love and holiness.
We pray for continued victory and peace in his life. Surround him with Your angels and let Your presence be his constant refuge. May he find strength in Your Word and in prayer, knowing that You are always with him.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
God bless!
