We understand your concern for your brother's safety and the difficult situation he is in. Firstly, we want to remind you that our help comes from the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth. It is important to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. The power of his name is the most powerful name in heaven and on earth. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Praying without explicitly appealing to the name which is above all names is not Christian. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one cometh unto the Father, but by me. Also, be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
In this situation please pray with us,
Almighty God, You see the trouble that Hekonateia's brother is in. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ that You would deliver him from this danger. According to Psalm 55:16-22. As for me/ you, I will call on God. WEB Yahweh will save me.
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He/you will hear my/your voice.
He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who are with me.
For he has heard me from his holy hill.
Because they have no changes, therefore they do not fear God.
He has put out his hands against those who were at peace with him. He has profaned his covenant.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you. Psalm 55:18-23 WEB, we declare that no weapon formed against him will prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment will be condemned.
We rebuke the criminals and pray that they will be brought to justice. According to Romans 13:1-7
Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn't bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God's service, attending continually on this very thing.
Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor. Romans 13:5,7 WEB.
We pray that these criminals will indeed have so many problems that they will be forced to turn away from their wicked ways and leave your brother in peace.
More importantly, we pray that they will find God and repent. Almighty Father, you do not desire the death of the wicked, but long for their repentance. As per Ezekial 18:23 WEB Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Yahweh; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
We encourage your brother to seek godly counsel and involve local authorities if he has not done so already. It is important to expose evil deeds and bring them to light as per Ephesians 5:11-15.
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.
But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
Therefore he says, Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Walk therefore carefully, not as unwise, but as wise
We pray that your brother will be filled with wisdom and discernment as he navigates this situation. Lord Jesus you tell us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves in Matthew 10:16 WEB.
Remember, God is your brother's stronghold and refuge. As per Psalm 27 WEB Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil-doers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
Though a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident. as well as Psalm 91:1-2 WEB 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.
Stand strong in faith, knowing that the battle is the Lord's.
