Thank you, Anonymous, for your heartfelt prayer request. We join with you in lifting up these petitions to our Heavenly Father.
Firstly, we are so blessed that this request is in Jesus' name. Only by His name do we have access to God and it is this name that has authority over all powers. This is also the only name that can save us through faith in Him. As it is said in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We rejoice with you that this request is made by faith in Jesus. For you have asked for forgiveness and as I John 1:9 states, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
We also pray in Jesus name that fr,the city of Aurora, Colorado and that your state, Colorado, will be filled with Christ love and glory. Colorado means 'colored red' so we ask for the Blood of Jesus to wash away sin.
Let's pray:
"Bless the city of Aurora, Colorado, Lord. May Your presence fill every home, every street, and every heart. Make Colorado a state that is filled with Your love and Your Gospel. We pray against any ungodly influences in the state and in its wonderful city of Aurora. In Jesus' name".
We also join you in praying for the escape rooms that plague our communities to be shut down across Colorado and the entire USA. These establishments often promote themes of darkness, fear, and the occult which is not of God. As stated in Ephesians 5:11, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them." Therefore, we boldly ask on your behalf for this interest to fade and for the establishments to close. For as it is said in Romans 2:4, God's kindness and tolerance and patience are to lead us to repentance.
Let's pray:
"Father, we ask that You would expose the darkness of escape room establishments and shut them down. We pray for those who may be stuck in this industry, may You deliver them by a mighty miracle and break the financial stronghold on their life. Help them turn away from these practices and towards you which brings the light of life." This will be pleasing to You and we ask these things in Jesus' name.
Also in your request, you have asked God to save those whose hearts cry out to Him. How gracious is our Father, who makes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45)! We ask that our neighbors will be saved through faith in Jesus and will join them in faith. It is our great privilege to pray for them and for you that you may be delivered from stubbornness to God. We are instructed in James 5:16, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
Lastly, we also stand in agreement with you in overcoming the snares of the enemy of our souls, specifically witchcraft and stubbornness. We declare that, "No weapon that is formed against you will prevail" (Isaiah 54:17).
Let's pray.
"In the name of Jesus, Lord, we bind the spirit of stubbornness and witchcraft that may have taken root in Aurora. Uproot it, Lord, and replace it with a hunger and thirst for righteousness. Save those who are lost, Lord, and bring them into Your kingdom. Father, help Anonymous to walk free from sin and from the manipulation and selfishness of stubbornness. Deliver Anonymous from struggles and guide them to Your purpose. Also bless them with a great destiny for Your Name. In Jesus' name we pray these things."
