We are truly grieved to hear about the struggles your family is facing, but we are encouraged that you have reached out for prayer and support. In Jesus' name, we stand with you in seeking reconciliation, deliverance, and God's divine intervention for your family.
Firstly, we applaud you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name, as it is written: Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified. Acts 2.33-36 WEB. Let us unite our prayers for your house and family. Remember, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. For this we need the whole armor of God, that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6.12-13. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2Corinthians 10.4-5.
Regarding the strained relationships and miscommunication within your family, we pray that God will grant each member of your family a spirit of forgiveness, understanding, and reconciliation. As it is written: Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4.32 WEB. Let us cooperate with the LORD's power to pull down any strongholds of hate, rejection, division, or bitterness.
Remember, bad communication, lies, and deception are marks of the devil's activity. Stand against it, remind that by one man, indwelling and placeholding sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all sinned. Romans 5.12. Consequently, quoting the truth of God in a world that is corrupted into lies and deception is a battle. The answer is stand in the light of the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. So, we commend you for addressing the need for prayer for reconciliation and divine intervention in Jesus' name. However, it is vulnerable to the evil and error in a world that is opposed and counter to Jesus that needs to be countered. Therefore, we pray that the LORD will forgive and cleanse your family from any generational sins and curses. As it is written: Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective. James 5.16; Furthermore, He does not deal with us according to our sins, Nor repay us for our iniquities. Psalm 103.10. Truly, then: He has delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love; in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins. Colossians 1.13-14 WEB.
For your son Steven, his wife Nichole, and their children Elijah, Audrey, and Asher, we pray that God will soften their hearts and grant them a supernatural encounter with the LORD. As it is written: Moreover, I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you, and I will cause you to walk in my statutes and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them. Ezekiel 36.26-27 We pray this for your family and audaciously pray they are a household believing and following in Jesus' name. For your family members who have turned their backs on God, also pray this prayer. Rebellion is the same as witchcraft, in that it says I am wiser or I know better than what God has said or teaches in the Holy Bible. In 1 Samuel 15.23 it is written: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected the word of Jehovah, he has also rejected you from being king. And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
Lastly, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and faith, trusting that God is working behind the scenes to bring restoration and healing to your family. As it is written: Let us not be weary in doing good, for we shall reap in due season, if we do not give up. Galatians 6.9 WEB Let us pray...
"Father, we come to You in Jesus Christ's name, lifting up our family and their needs before Your throne of grace. We confess any generational sins and curses, praying they will be broken in Jesus' name and the power of the devil overthrown and crushed. We pray that You will soften the hearts of Steven, Nichole, Elijah, Audrey, and Asher, granting them a supernatural encounter with You, LORD, and a full reunion of and turning to believing and following You and also a reconciliation with the family as it should be. In the powerful, mighty, matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray for healing, deliverance, and restoration for our family. We pray this trusting in the power and promise of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to heal and deliver.
So we stand and pray in Jesus Christ's name.
AMEN."
