PRAYER: JUSTICE FOR THE ABUSED AND HEALING FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST

    Father, in the midst of these exposures of immorality, abuse, and unrighteousness within Your House, we join together in agreement for Your purposes to be accomplished and for Your perfect will to be done. Knowing that we are fighting principalities and powers aligned against Your Church, we determine to come together in prayer to overturn and overcome these works of darkness.

    For the glory of Your name, may we find agreement concerning the gross sins and rampant deception that have caught us unawares and found us ill prepared. In the midst of controversy and question, help us to find Your truth and that which will bring about the healing and correction that is needed within the Body of Christ. Help us to lay down and put aside our ministry idols, our personal offenses, and our pet doctrines, so that we can see what is needed, and act on what is necessary, in order to be a people that demonstrates both grace and truth to a world that knows neither.

    FOR THE VICTIMS of abuse who have been hurting and the wounded who have been in hiding, we pray that they would know of Your profound and unconditional love for them as Your sons and daughters. May they  know Your perfect peace in the middle of these storms and take comfort in Your presence, find strength in Your protection, and receive assurance in Your absolute resolve concerning their healing and restoration. Give them greater courage to process their experience and to share their story without fear or shame. Establish their steps and bring them godly counselors to listen and those who will steward their story with both conviction and compassion. Bring them out of their bondage and set their hearts free to live, laugh, and love once again. May their testimonies reverberate in the heavens to bring healing and deliverance to all who seek freedom.

    FOR THOSE WHO SEEK JUSTICE, open up doors and connect them with those who are prepared and equipped to minister to their needs and provide wisdom for their journey. We declare protection from prying eyes that seek to shut them down or silence their cause. Place Your angels around them to provide safe passage in their journey towards justice and resolution. Increase their faith and give them hope for a victorious outcome. Vindicate their cause and bring the recompense promised for the wrongs done and the innocence lost. May they be filled with hope for their future and clarified vision in their purpose. Bless those who are trained and equipped to bring about healing and restoration. Empower those with gifts and skills to bring legal resolution and needed reform in the days to come.

    FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BROUGHT HARM to the innocent and taken advantage of the vulnerable, we declare the FEAR OF THE LORD to wake them from their stupor and arrest them in their steps. For those who have been deceived and hardened their hearts to the truth, may they know the weight of Your Word and the heaviness of Your holiness. Stop them in their tracks and overwhelm them with the Light of Your presence that will cause them to fall to their knees in utter remorse with godly sorrow and repentance. Rend their hearts with conviction, and reveal to them the grossness of their sins. May they have a true revelation of their darkened minds and depraved behavior and turn from their wicked ways. For those who have yielded to their flesh and lost their way, shine Your light on the path back to the mercy seat of God. May they yet turn from their sins and run to the only One who can fill the gaping holes in their own hearts. May they yet come to a true repentance of faith and desire to serve You once again.

    FOR THOSE WHO HAVE INTENTIONALLY SET TRAPS AND DEFRAUDED YOUR PEOPLE, expose their deception and uncover their plots. Unravel the ungodly alliances of the wolves in our midst and destroy their networks of debauchery. Shine Your light on the ring masters and bring forth the needed evidence to convict these predators without doubt or delay. Trap them in their escape and surprise them in their failed attempts to defend, deflect, and point fingers of blame. May the finality of Your sovereign authority bear down upon their lives to shatter their fantasies of grandeur and fame. May they come to know the power of Your throne and the reality of Your righteous anger that comes against those who harm the innocent and steals from Your storehouse. We do not rejoice in their downfall, but pray for mercy upon their souls that they may yet see the light and save themselves from a fiery end.  

    FOR THE WHISTLE BLOWERS AND TRUTH TELLERS we declare the blood of Jesus around these who are now stepping forward to shed light on these atrocities and expose these sins. We agree that every weapon of the enemy that has been formed to silence them, coerce them, or intimidate them, would be rendered useless and brought to nothing. Shut the mouths of these lions, jackals, and frauds who seek to steal, kill, and destroy those who are now coming forward and speaking up. Amplify the voices of these truth tellers as they declare Your words and reflect Your heart regarding those who have been wronged and denied justice. Grant favor to those who have walked in truth and demonstrated integrity of character. Keep their hearts free from fleshly ambition and stir a greater love for You than hatred for the enemy. Fuel their cause with right information and accurate intel to confirm what has been hidden and verify what is true. May they stay resolute in their cause and act according to the grace You have measured for them in this hour. May their labors bear fruit for Your Kingdom and souls for eternity.

    FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST in this hour, grant us a unified voice that will overwhelm the enemy and silence the false accusations and lies that seek to take us out. Forgive our unbelief and unwillingness to deal with these uncomfortable truths. Forgive our idolatry of men and preoccupation with gifts and anointings. Help us choose our battles wisely and determine to walk together in lifting up a righteous standard in the Body of Christ. Help us differentiate between that which are side issues and personal preferences, and that which is lasting and eternal. Teach us to rightly discern the real from the counterfeit and the pure from the profane. Keep us from presumption and wrong judgments. Increase our hunger for the Word that we might know Your truth without debate. May we love well by listening before speaking and forgiving when needed. May these present challenges draw us together and serve to rebuild our broken foundations and reform our practices so that Your Name would be glorified without hindrance.

    Have Your way in this hour, Lord! Do the needed work of cleansing and sanctification within Your Bride. We long for a greater measure of Your Spirit to empower our walk and magnify Your greatness on the earth. Through this process, may the lost be saved, the captives be set free, the prodigals return, and Your people become one in Word and Spirit, for the glory and honor of Your name.  Amen!

        ONLY AS LONG AS WE ALLOW IT…

        We know by default that this is a spiritual battle. The enemy loves to divide and conquer. He knows what happens when we splinter and fall back due to weariness and discouragement. This is why I have been seeking the Lord and asking how we can cut through the muck and rally for a cause we can all agree upon. The fact is, until our hearts are united by a common conviction, our corporate authority will be weakened, our prayers will be hindered, and the process of healing and reformation will take much longer.

        HEAVEN’S HOST IS PULLING FOR US TO COME UP AND COME OUT!

        ...I then saw in my spirit a vision of the host of heaven before His throne. They were all facing our direction and pulling on heavy duty ropes that were attached to all of us down below. As if playing a massive tug of war, they were all pulling together to bring the people of God up to the throne. The pull was so strong, they were all leaning back from the weight. They were determined to bring us up to the throne of grace where Holiness was found.

        I STILL BELIEVE

        Even as our experiences are examined and our encounters are scrutinized, I still believe in a miraculous God. He moves without permission and shows Himself without consent. He is bigger than our setbacks and far more powerful than our persecutors. Even as the enemy seeks to discredit His rule and censure His power, my God will never stop being God. Yes, we are being tested and have been found wanting. But our God does not lack. He is more than enough to bring us out of these pits and breathe life into these dead bones once again.

        ARE COUNTERFEIT MIRACLES FAKE – OR ACTUAL WORKS OF DARKNESS?

        We are not just dealing with compromised leaders who are causing physical and emotional harm to innocent victims. We are dealing with demonic powers that are working through compromised vessels in hopes of bringing great deception and darkness into the middle of our congregations and fellowships. The reason we are being warned is because signs, wonders, and miracles are very real. This is why Satan tries to copy them. And this is why we must look beyond the sign itself, and consider the direction it points us.
