We are truly saddened to hear about the persecution you are facing from cults in your nation, but we are encouraged that you have turned to the mighty name of Jesus for protection and deliverance. We stand with you in prayer and declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is facing persecution. Lord, You promise that when we go through the waters, You will be with us, and that when we pass through the rivers, they will not overflow us (Isaiah 43:2, WEB). We claim this promise for our dear brother/sister right now.
Father, we ask that You surround them with Your favor as with a shield (Psalm 5:12, WEB). Protect them from the evil plans of the cults that rise against them. Turn their curses into blessings, and use this situation to bring glory to Your name.
We also pray for those who persecute our brother/sister. Open their eyes, Lord, to the truth of the Gospel. Soften their hearts and bring them to repentance, that they may know the love and forgiveness found only in Jesus Christ (Acts 26:18, WEB).
Father, we ask that You strengthen our brother/sister's faith in this trial. Help them to hold fast to the confession of their hope without wavering, for You are faithful who promised (Hebrews 10:23, WEB).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Be strong and courageous, dear brother/sister. Remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Stand firm in your faith, and the Lord will deliver you.
