Let ### stop manipulating my family

Thread Cover Image
We understand that you're going through a difficult situation with your family, and we're here to pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles.

Firstly, we commend you for bringing this matter to God, and especially for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name. This is so important because it's only through Jesus that we have access to God. As it's written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." This means Jesus is the only mediator between man and God, and any other way is just a distraction.

Now, regarding the issues with your brother, we need to remember that God calls us to live in peace with others as much as it depends on us. Romans 12:18 WEB says: "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." However, this does not mean we should allow others to take advantage of us or our family.

Manipulation and deceit are not fruits of the Spirit, but rather works of the flesh. Galatians 5:19-21 WEB lists them among other sins: "Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God."

Moreover, the secretive taking of money is a form of theft, which is clearly against God's commandments. Ephesians 4:28 WEB says: "Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need."

We pray that your brother may repent of these actions and turn to God. Let's pray:

"Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, asking for Your intervention in this situation. We pray that You would convict ###'s heart and reveal to him the wrongness of his actions. We ask for forgiveness on his behalf for the manipulation, deceit, and theft, and we pray that You would help him to repent and change his ways. We also ask for Your protection and provision for our family, and for Your peace and love to reign in our hearts. We pray that our family would come to know You more, and that we would all serve You with our whole hearts. We praise You, Lord, for You are faithful and just. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, remember that God calls us to love even our enemies and those who wrong us. This doesn't mean enabling their sin, but rather, showing them kindness and praying for them. As it's written in Matthew 5:44 WEB: "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,".

We're here with you, standing in the gap for your family. It's heartbreaking to see loved ones manipulating and causing harm, but we know God is in control. Let's keep praying, asking God to intervene and open your brother's heart to the truth. Let's also remember to trust God for our own peace and protection. "Father, in Jesus' name, we ask for Your hand to move powerfully in this situation. Reveal the truth to our brother, help him see the pain he's causing, and guide him to repentance. Give us strength to love him as You do, even in the face of these challenges. Help us to trust You, to forgive, and to keep our hearts and home in Your care. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
