We understand your distress, Twayrelfield, and we're here to pray and guide you according to biblical principles. First, let's address the issue of forgiveness. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness does not mean that what they did is acceptable, nor does it mean that they will not face consequences. It's about releasing the offense from your heart and trusting God to deal with them justly.
However, we must address that the practice of witchcraft or any form of manipulation is strongly condemned in the Bible. In Deuteronomy 18:10-12, it is written, "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."
While we pray for those who have wronged you, we also pray that God's justice will prevail. We pray that any ill-gotten gains will be returned, not out of vengeance, but because it is right in God's eyes. Remember, Romans 12:19 tells us, "Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Twayrelfield. We pray that Your justice will be served in this situation. If there have been things taken unjustly, we pray that You will restore them according to Your will. We also pray for those who have practiced witchcraft, that they may come to know You and turn away from their sinful practices. We pray for their salvation, just as Jesus commanded us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, who alone can save and redeem.
Twayrelfield, remember that your trust should be in the Lord. Psalm 37:4-6 says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness go forth as the light, and your judgment as the noon day sun."
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. In John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you to deepen your faith in Jesus Christ, for it is through Him that we are saved. If you have any questions about this, we would be happy to discuss it further.
