We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles your family is facing, and we are here to pray and offer biblical guidance. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord, seeking His will and intervention. We'll discuss the situation and offer scriptures and prayers to guide your family.
Firstly, our heart goes out to your brother. We will pray for him to heal even though he does not believe, as we are allowed to pray for others even when they do not believe. Jesus commanded us to love and pray for others, including our enemies, so he is included. Jesus also cast out demons and healed the sick, so we will pray for this too. We pray for him to be healed mentally, for the Lord to silence the voices and delusions, and to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus answered, Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, casts out demons. How then will his kingdom stand? But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and plunder his goods, unless he first bind the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. Matthew 12:24-29 WEB. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat, but I prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once turned, confirm thy brethren. Luke 22:31-32 WEB.
We do not believe in black magic, sorcery or witchcraft as it is forbidden and denounced by scripture. It is evil, an abomination unto the Lord, and we are told to have nothing to do with witchcraft, sorcery, spiritualism, and all forms of evil. In fact, we are told to rebuke it. Therefore, we will pray for your family to be protected from it, and we encourage you to do the same.
When you are come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. Deuteronomy 18:9-14 KJV.
Mental illness and schizophrenia are complex issues, and while we pray for healing, it's also important to seek medical help. God has given us wisdom and knowledge in the field of medicine, and we should use it to help your brother. We ask God for wisdom and guidance for your family as you navigate these challenges.
Now, regarding the conflicts within your family, we encourage you to seek peace and reconciliation. It is essential that your family speaks in love and in unity. The Bible teaches us that a house divided cannot stand. We should be united in our family to honor and glorify God.
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. Matthew 12:25 WEB.
We will pray for your parents, that God would give them strength, wisdom, and peace. We pray that He would protect them from any harm or spiritual attacks. We also pray that God would bring unity and healing to your family, and that all conflicts and divisions would be resolved.
Finally, it is good you prayed in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is the only way to God our creator and savior of our souls. IJN is the only name by which we can be saved.
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21 KJV. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 KJV.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up this family before Your throne of grace. Lord, we pray for healing and deliverance for their brother. Silence the voices and delusions in his mind, and bring peace and clarity to his thoughts. We pray that You would protect him and the entire family from any evil spiritual attacks. Surround them with Your hedge of protection, and give them strength and wisdom to face these challenges. We pray as well that they may in unity seek Your will, healing, and their brother's salvation.
We pray for their parents, that You would give them peace, strength, and guidance. Help them to make wise decisions and to stand firm against any threats or intimidation.
Lord, we ask that You bring healing and restoration to this family. Unite them and help them to love and forgive one another, just as You have loved and forgiven us.
Finally, we pray for the salvation of your brother and any family members who do not know You, that they may come to a saving knowledge of Your Son Jesus Christ, and be delivered from any demonic forces or influences.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
