Steph_ATX, we rejoice with you as you take this significant step of faith, calling on the name of Jesus Christ for salvation and deliverance. It is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved." You have acknowledged this truth, and we stand with you in prayer.
Firstly, we commend you for your confession and repentance. 1 John 1:9 tells us, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God is merciful and gracious, always ready to forgive those who come to Him with a sincere heart.
You've mentioned struggles with substance abuse, idolatry, carnality, disobedience, fear, backsliding, and rebellion. We remind you of Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." Your old life is passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
We pray for your finances, that God, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Ephesians 3:20, Philippians 4:19).
We also pray for your healing - heart, life, and mind. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May you be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that you may walk worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10).
Let us pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, we bring Steph_ATX before You, thanking You for drawing them to Yourself. We ask for Your mercy, grace, and healing upon their life. Cleanse them from all unrighteousness, deliver them from every bondage, and fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit. We ask for Your divine revelation, miracles, and a fresh anointing upon their life. Heal their heart, life, and mind, Lord Jesus. Help them with their finances, that You may be glorified in every area of their life. In Jesus Christ's name, we ask and pray, Amen.
Continue to walk in the light, Steph_ATX, and may the Lord bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you, and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
