On Friday, March 28th<\/strong>, in Brooklyn, New York, Bishop Bira Joshua<\/a><\/span><\/strong> started the service in prayer, inviting all those present and connected to pray to God at that moment, crying out to the Lord Jesus for deliverance and help, and speaking to Him about their struggles, problems, and dire issues. Soon after, he addressed a very common subject. However, few people are aware of its intense spiritual and physical consequences: envy in the family<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy\u2026 (Mark 8:33)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Bishop Bira Joshua then led the prayer of faith in the name of the Lord Jesus for the spiritual deliverance of the congregation and their families from all works of evil. A special strong prayer was made against the spirit of envy that has been causing confusion and destruction in the families.<\/p>\n Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. (John 8:36)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bishop Joshua not only prayed with the pastors for the congregation but also taught those participating how to pray with authority against evil in the name of the Lord Jesus through guided prayer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All were invited to pray together for the protection of their families, crying out to God to save and shield the family. The bishop also announced that in the following Fridays of Deliverance, prayers will continue against the spirit of envy. Those who brought their rose<\/a><\/span> had it anointed with holy oil and blessed to place it in their homes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The bishop also instructed us to avoid oversharing information about plans and decisions with others, encouraging us to take matters to God until the projects or plans are complete, especially financial decisions.<\/p>\n for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him. (Genesis 26:14)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Bible mentions the Philistines envied and tried to stop Isaac several times. However, he overcame through faith and his covenant with God. One must be watchful in sharing information, and one ought to resist envy through active faith, obedience to, and perseverance in the Word of God.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nEnvy Destroys Like Witchcraft<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe works of envy are the works of the devil, who came to steal, kill, and destroy. Envy kills; it destroys everything. When it comes from the family, it is even worse because it is a person you trust, people who are always around you. You could never imagine that someone in your family is envious of you\u2026 We will pray, and one thing is for sure: do not<\/strong> hold grudges against them because they are also victims. But when God sets you free, He will also set them free. We will pray together, and the Lord will deliver your family,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 explained and invited the bishop.<\/p>\nThe Prayer of Faith in the Name of the Lord Jesus that Sets Free<\/strong><\/h4>\n
