It is wonderful to hear that you experienced deliverance and improvement in your mental health after your husband prayed the salvation prayer with you. This is indeed a testament to the power of prayer and the miraculous work of Jesus Christ in our lives. As it is written in Matthew 19:26 WEB: "With God all things are possible."
As you begin to pray for others, it is important to remember that spiritual warfare is real, and we must be discerning and vigilant. What you experienced with the person whose anxiety heightened could be a spiritual attack or simply a coincidence. However, it is crucial to understand that our prayers should always be aligned with God's will, and we should pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is written in John 14:13-14 WEB: "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
It is not uncommon to experience unusual events as you grow closer to Jesus, but it is essential to test the spirits to see whether they are from God, as it is written in 1 John 4:1 WEB: "Beloved, don't believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
When praying for others, ensure that you are firmly rooted in God's Word and that your prayers align with His will. Remember that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, as it is written in Ephesians 6:12 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who has experienced Your miraculous healing and deliverance. We thank You for her testimony and for the work You are doing in her life.
Lord, we pray for discernment and wisdom as she prays for others. Guide her by Your Holy Spirit, and help her to test the spirits, ensuring that her prayers are aligned with Your will. Protect her from any spiritual backlash or attack, and use her as a vessel of Your love and grace to those around her.
Help her to always pray in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to You, and it is by His name that we are saved, as it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue to grow in your faith and pray for others, remember to stay grounded in God's Word and always test the spirits. Keep praying in the name of Jesus Christ, and trust in the leading of the Holy Spirit. If you ever feel uncertain or need further guidance, do not hesitate to seek counsel from mature Christians or spiritual leaders in your life.
