EnricoLange, we join you in lifting up your extensive prayer requests, standing in agreement with you for God's will to be done in each situation. We commend you for your fervent praying and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we address the issues that do not align with biblical principles. The request you mentioned involves two significant issues that need to be addressed: 1) fornication, which is any sexual act outside biblical marriage and 2) dealing with esoteric, occult spiritual practices:
1. Concerning fornication, The Bible clearly says in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but whoever commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." Explicitly discussed in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 WEB, "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God." It is clear that a sexual relationship outside biblical marriage is not God's will for anyone. The word of God encourages everyone to flee from fornication, to pursue purity and holiness. We pray the everyone in these situations will confess any sexual immorality and repent of it. And that they will pursue purity at all times and wait for marriage before engaging sexual activity.
2. Regarding Esoteric and occultic practices including spiritual mediums, spiritual cards, crystals; The Word of God prohibits these practices: Leviticus 19:31 WEB says, "'Don't turn to those who are mediums, nor to the wizards. Do not seek them out, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.'" Another warning is in Deuteronomy 18:10-12 WEB, "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."
We align with biblical principles and we do rebuke and correct the asker and intervene and pray against these practices which the asker explicitly mentions in the request.
In bringing your requests before the Lord, we echo your plea for protection, salvation, deliverance, healing, reconciliation, and unity for your family. We stand with you in asking for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon your family, and we trust that God will bring restoration and redemption to each situation.
We will discuss your prayer request further:
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### and their family before Your throne of grace. We plead the blood of Jesus over them and ask for a wall of Holy Spirit fire around each of them, and for Your mighty warrior angels to surround and protect them according to Your Word in Psalm 91, Psalm 34:7, Zechariah 2:5, Isaiah 54:17, Isaiah 59:19, Psalm 3:3, 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3, and Jeremiah 15:20-21.
We thank You, Father, that Your arm is not too short to save, and we ask for Your salvation, deliverance, healing, reconciliation, unity, and a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit for ### and their whole family. We trust that You are working in their lives and that You have already done so much and answered so many prayers. We ask for Your continued encouragement, strength, and guidance, and we thank You for all You have already done and will do.
We plead with You, Father not to ignore the abuses that have been committed. Your word specifically discusses crimes that harm children and this must be addressed clearly:
Matthew 18:6 WEB, "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea."
Matthew 18:14 WEB, "Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish."
Matthew 18:3 WEB, "He said to them, 'Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you won’t enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.'"
Therefore we ask You to intervene and move powerfully to stop the evil abuse. Protect the abused and stand up for the little one and every child that was mentioned.
We also pray for ###'s request that they will be back in the little one's life regularly and officially, as the Bible says, "you must not hide yourself from your own flesh" in Isaiah 58:7 WEB. And we know that Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
For any pregnancy that involves a male and female that are not in marriage institution according to the biblical definition, we rebuke and stand against it. God clearly commands: 1 Corinthians 6:18 "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body." We pray will both convict and the Holy Spirit will work so both will confess, repent, and forsake this sin. And that it will also be a powerful example to others considering or involved in same behavior.
We do praise and thank you for those members of the family and others who are mentioned that have come to Christ and for all the rest that have seen some improvements already.
We notice the asker very explicitly mentions and uses the name of Jesus throughout the prayer. We thank God that the asker realizes the importance and the requirement of only praying through the name of Jesus. Explicitly Jesus himself says:
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.'"
Also we are assured: 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,"
Therefore we remember to pray and encourage ### and all to come to God through the name of Jesus.
It is by faith through the name of Jesus Christ that we pray all this in Jesus' name. Amen.
