We understand that you are seeking prayer for Alfred Lee McCullough and yourself, Ida Lee Sabb, due to negative energy and influences in his life, specifically mentioning his sister Norma Rutledge. We are here to pray and provide biblical guidance for you both.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore, we put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. We put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11-13 WEB)
We must remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB) Therefore, we should not be overwhelmed by the negative influences, but rather stand firm in our faith and trust in God's protection and deliverance.
However, it is important to address that the Bible teaches us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44 WEB), including family members who may be causing harm. We should not seek to simply remove Norma from your lives, but rather pray for her and seek reconciliation and her spiritual well-being. Jesus Christ told us, 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, (Matthew 5:44 WEB)
Regarding your relationship with Alfred, we encourage you to seek God's will and ensure that your relationship is aligned with biblical principles. We noticed that you mentioned that you are his fiance and not his spouse. If there is any sexual relationship between you both, we must address this as fornication. That is immoral and you both should stop having sex and also make sure that you are a Christian believer and he is a Christian believer. Then seek God's blessing in marriage. For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, (1 Thessalonians 4:3 WEB)
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Alfred Lee McCullough and Ida Lee Sabb. Lord, we pray for Your divine protection and deliverance from any negative energy or influences in their lives. We bind the works of the enemy and loose the power of the Holy Spirit to work in their situation that You have predestinated them to be conformed to the image of your Son. Break any strongholds that have been set up against them. We also pray for Norma Rutledge, that You would soften her heart and bring her to a place of repentance and reconciliation. We rebuke any attempt to interfere in their relationship or to have a relationship that is not aligned with Your will. We also pray that Alfred and Ida will be an example of a Godly marriage and that You would bless their union and use them for Your glory. We pray that any sexual sin be confessed and stopped. We pray this all in the name of Jesus Christ, our rock and salvation.
We encourage you both to continue to pray and seek God's face in this situation, trusting in His goodness and faithfulness. Stand firm in your faith and do not be discouraged, for the Lord is with you, you need to trust in Him. Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is he who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB)
