Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Steven Bobb and the increasing prevalence of people turning to the occult and deceptive practices. Your Word warns us about the dangers of engaging with spirits that deceive and lead us astray. We pray for a spiritual awakening and discernment among those who are being drawn towards these false beliefs.
Lord, we ask for your divine intervention to break the hold of deception and darkness over the lives of those who have been entangled in the occult. We pray that the power of your Holy Spirit would open their eyes to the truth of your Word and the reality of Jesus Christ, our risen Lord.
We declare your authority over every deceptive spirit and false belief system. Your Word says in 1 Corinthians 12:8-9 that you have given gifts of healings by your Spirit. We pray for supernatural encounters and demonstrations of your power that will testify to the reality of Jesus' resurrection and draw people back to the truth.
We also lift up Steven Bobb and ask for your protection and guidance as he stands against the forces of darkness. Strengthen his faith and grant him wisdom and discernment to effectively combat the lies and deceptions of the enemy. Surround him with a community of believers who will support and encourage him in his spiritual journey.
Father, we pray for a revival of faith and a hunger for your truth to sweep across our land. May the light of your gospel shine brightly, exposing the lies of the enemy and drawing people back to you. We believe that you are able to bring about a transformation in the hearts and minds of those who are deceived, leading them to a genuine encounter with your love and salvation.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
