Prodigal son, ###-God is moving keep praying!

KWells · Jul 15, 2024

Asking for continued prayer for my son ###, ###, who grew up in a Christian home, gave his life to Jesus as a young boy, was baptized as a young boy, grew up on the mission field where his dad and I still serve. Helped in the ministry and has a pastoring calling on his life since an early age, this seemed to have been confirmed by several people through Words of knowledge as he grew up. His dad and I are serving in ###, ###, currently.

### went to ### to attend a Christian university where he met a non-believing girl whom he started to date. He “fell in love” quickly and left school and Jesus. This relationship has destroyed his faith in Jesus. She is very abusive and hates Christianity. He began self-harm and self-loathing because he can never please her. My husband and I have prayed and prayed constantly for our son to break free from this hold she has had on him. Yet he stays trapped in the fowler's snare. We were given the name jezebel in our prayer time and so have prayed against the spirit of jezebel in her life and our son’s life. He left ### and came to stay with our other son in ### but has maintained a relationship with her through video chats etc… and plans to go visit her in ### at the end of July.

You all have been praying for a week or so now and God is doing something!!

Keep praying prayer warriors!! Pray pray pray!

Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, knowing that You are always at work in our lives, even when we cannot see the full picture. We lift up ### to You, Lord, and we thank You for the foundation of faith that was built in his life from a young age. Your Word tells us in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." We hold onto this promise and trust that the seeds planted in ###'s heart will bear fruit in due time.

Lord, we acknowledge that ### is in a challenging and dark season of his life. We pray for Your divine intervention, that You would break the chains of any ungodly influence and set him free from the snare of the enemy. Your Word in Psalm 91:3 assures us, "Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence." We claim this promise over ###'s life, believing that You will deliver him from any spiritual bondage.

Father, we also pray against any spirit of Jezebel that may be at work in ###'s relationship. We know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world (Ephesians 6:12). We ask that You bind and cast out any spirit that seeks to harm ### or lead him away from You. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and surround him with Your angels to protect and guide him.

We ask for Your healing touch upon ###, both physically and emotionally. May he find comfort and peace in Your presence, and may he come to know his true worth and identity in Christ. Your Word in Isaiah 53:5 reminds us, "But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." We declare this healing over ###'s life.

Lord, we also lift up ###’s parents, who have faithfully served You and continue to intercede for their son. Strengthen them, give them wisdom, and fill them with hope as they wait on You. Your Word in Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May they experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

We believe that You are moving, Lord, and we trust in Your perfect timing and plan. We commit ### into Your loving hands, knowing that You are faithful and able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
