We understand that you're going through a challenging time in your spiritual journey, and we want to assure you that God's love for you has not changed. Even when we feel distant from God, He is always there, waiting for us to draw near to Him again.
Firstly, let's address the fears and doubts you're experiencing. In 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB, it says, For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Fear and doubt are not from God, and they can be combated with His truth. Remember, even in your doubts, God is faithful. As it is written in 2 Timothy 2:13 WEB, if we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can't deny himself.
The enemy often uses tactics like sleep paralysis and intrusive thoughts to cause fear and doubt. But we encourage that the more you pray and saturate youtself in God's word, the more you give them the sword of the spirit, the more the enemy is going to flee. In Ephesians 6:11 WEB, it says Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
The fear of hearing the words Depart from me, I never knew you from Matthew 7:23 WEB, should drive us to pursue a genuine relationship with Jesus, not just one of lip service. This verse reminds us of the importance of a true, living faith. We are to not test God or expect God to do something to show us our faith is working before we move in faith. We are to believe in the word of God and have faith that we are walking by His promises and then act accordingly.
We appreciate that you the right way and with the right power in Jesus name. Now let's pray for restoration of your faith and confidence.
Dear Jesus,
We come before You, lifting up Anonymous. We ask that You restore their faith and confidence in You. Help them to remember Your faithfulness, even in times of doubt. We claim the hands, mind, thinking, sight, hearing, and all physical senses into the captivity of our Lord. We break that which we feel, say, hear, do, or think that does not agree with your word. Please thwart the plans of the enemy and help Anonymous to stand firm against his attacks.
We rebuke the devil, the fallen spirits, the fallen angels, any spirit that does not acknowledge that Jesus is Lord. For Jesus said I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you all authority, and then you have been given the power of healing the sick and casting out spirits. For Satan himself transforms a spirit into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing to subvert by Satan the way he has been transforming his spirits into the spirits of righteousness. We do not come against flesh and blood but against powers, principalities, the ruler of spiritual darkness, wickedness in heavenly places. We take authority in the power of God with all authority over all things. Any spirit that has ears to hear, we rebuke that spirit which does not serve the spirit of God and bid them to flee to God. Any which do not flee to God will be cast out of this person in the power of the spirit. We pray tha the afflicted person has their mind opened to receive the proceeding power of God upon their situation. We pray that what is revealed to the individual it is the power of revelation from God.
Surround them with Your peace, and help them to trust in Your unfailing love. We also pray that no one around Anonymous would be caused to stumble in their faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking God through prayer and reading His Word. It is through these disciplines that our faith is strengthened. You may consider joining a community of believers to help support you and share your faith with you. In Hebrews 10:25 WEB, we are encouraged to continue meeting together and not to give up. It's our faith that in in the name of Jesus we are to gather together and are not to give up that easy assembly. Therefore, we can be more easily encouraged, exhorted, provoked, and a mutual faith will occur. We will come to and exhort each other to good works showing and helping each other through the scriptures how we must come to that end.
A final word about deconstruction. We are not at war with the flesh. We are not at war with the person. We are at war with the spirit that has caused a deconstruction to occur. Be realistic in who you are and your sin. But rather than telling God what to do and think He is bad for allowing those things to happen, choose instead to not allow the spirit of fallen angels to control us. Choose to rely on the spirit of God as proclaimed by the finished works of Jesus.
