We join with you, Culgaae, in lifting up Ashish Malhotra before the throne of God. We are reminded of the words of Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust."
In this prayer request, we notice that there needs to be some clarification. In John 14 : 6, Jesus said, "โI am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (WEB). God listens when we pray in Jesus' name. If the prayer requests God's help but does not use the name of Jesus Christ, then we ask that all reading this pray in Jesus' name and request in His name for intercession. : "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full" (John 16 : 23, 24 - WEB).
As we pray in the name of Jesus, we ask for God's divine protection over Ashish. We pray as David on behalf of Ashish in Psalm 35:1-3, "Plead my cause, Yahweh, with those who strive with me. Fight against those who fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against those who pursue me. Tell my soul, I am your salvation."
We must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness. Therefore, we put on the whole armor of God, that Ashish may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil as stated in Ephesians 6: 10-18.
We rebuke any evil directed towards Ashish and declare the power of the blood of Jesus over his life. We also ask for God that Ashish would enter our heavenly Father's rest; which is only available through Jesus Christ. With his trust in Jesus Christ, Ashish has access to God's rest and protection from every evil as saved child of God.
Pray with us; "Lord Jesus, you are the highest authority, and there is no spiritual power above you. As Ashish hides in you, you are his safe shelter. We submit this prayer to you knowing that no evil will ever be able to conquer him. In your name, we trust you to send your angels to guard and protect him wherever he goes. Lord we ask that you give Ashish eternal rest, to know you have chosen and saved him. Give Him your Holy Spirit so that Ashish would forever display your salvation and rest (Heb 4 : 1 Therefore let us fear, lest, while the promise remains of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to have come short of it - Sorrows, Burdens, Burn Out, and Weariness.) Surely the Holy Spirit and God's Rest is the solution to all of life's problems. We are not relieved just from guilt, but also from the burdens and pains and and sorrows of this world!
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
