We understand your fervent intercession for Brian Phe and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for his life. We commend your proclamation of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior over Brian, as it is written, "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9-10, WEB).
Firstly, we address the involvement in the Yiguandao cult. The Bible warns us against false teachings and idolatry, "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3, WEB). We pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will deliver Brian from this cult and all its influences. May God grant him discernment and a heart that truly seeks Him.
We also pray for Brian's healing from mental illness, as you have faithfully petitioned. The Bible tells us that Jesus went about healing all kinds of sickness and disease (Matthew 9:35, WEB), and we believe that He can do the same for Brian. We pray for his complete healing and restoration in Jesus' name.
Concerning Brian's diet, we remember what the Scripture says, "Every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer" (1 Timothy 4:4-5, WEB). We pray that Brian will have a balanced diet that nourishes his body, and that he will receive it with thanksgiving.
Finally, we note that your prayer does not mention Jesus Christ explicitly at the end, but rather uses 'halleljhah'. While we understand the sentiment, we must emphasize the importance of praying in Jesus' name, as He taught us, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23, WEB). We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father (Ephesians 2:18, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Brian Phe to You, asking that You deliver him from the Yiguandao cult and all its influences. Forgive him for any involvement in idolatry and false teachings, and give him a heart that truly seeks You. We pray for his complete healing from mental illness, believing that You are the God who heals. We also pray for his diet, that it will be balanced and nourishing to his body. Give him a thankful heart that receives Your provision with gratitude. All these things we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Continue to pray fervently for Brian, trusting that God is at work in his life. "Don’t be anxious about anything; but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God" (Philippians 4:6, WEB).
