For seven years I’ve been extremely ill because of food idolatry, myself and kids. I got us in this trap on 06/09/15 and my life has been hell since. I want to repent but I can’t undo the damage I caused.
Now I just found out that I’m three weeks and about six days pregnant and I’m worried about another life, not just my current babies, my life, but now my unborn child. Please pray for repentance in my life and healing in all of our bodies. I would appreciate it greatly.
Nae,
I want to tell you that God loves you and wants to set you free. He wants us to repent and commands it. He won’t command us to do something we cannot do. To repent means to change your mind. Change your mind and decide to follow Jesus as your Lord. His grace will cover you no matter what damage you may have caused.
His word inspired by the Holy Spirit says it all:
I know healing for you and your babies is very important. There are a few ways we can pray and extend our faith for you, either do a Zoom or we can pray for you remotely. Please respond when you can.
Have you been born again before, I mean are you saved? If not, let us pray:
Ask God for the forgiveness of your sin as you confess them before God.
Ask the Lord Jesus to come into your life and become your Lord and Saviour.
Believe with your heart that your prayer has been answered.
You can now pray this prayer:
Lord Jesus, forgive me my sin and redeem me from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light through Your blood which you shed on the cross of Calvary. Make me a new creature today and make the old things to pass away. I confess You as my Lord and Saviour, come into my heart and direct my life forever, in Jesus name I have prayed.
As you have prayed this prayer in faith, you are now born again, you are a new creature. Pray and study the word of God regularly so that you can grow in faith. Also declare your salvation boldly to people so that they can know that you are a new creature. Attend a Bible believing church and participate in their programmes so that you can grow spiritually. You are now welcome to the winning side.
As you are saved, the blood of Jesus has given you victory over the effects of the idolatry and you are free. For whosoever Jesus shall set free, he/she is free indeed. I will pray along with you.

Romans 8:1: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus
Any form of addiction is to feed emptiness inside. I understand very well. Heavenly Father, I ask that you fill that empty space with your Spirit. I pray that also for myself and all others suffering from addictions.
Put powerful praise music on and praise God. That defeats the enemies with in. Persevere. God bless dear sister.xxx
I just prayed for you, too. My prayer is that you choose to follow Jesus as the direction for your life. As you sincerely strive to do the next right thing, God will meet you and work in your life and the lives of your kids.
I hope you have repented and made changes in your life. I’ll share a novena that could help you. Novenas are short intense prayer for 9 days. You can recite them more than 9 days.
Nae, we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and are justified freely by His grace (Romans 3:24). “Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13)” and “Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness” (2 Timothy 2:19). I understand more than I can possibly describe the burden of being stuck in a pattern of sin, knowing it was sinful, and not being able to find a way out. The change began for me when I started searching God’s Word so that I could find the conviction that my sin was indeed sinful, and I started following the pattern of the people who started calling on God for deliverance (not just calling a little, but a lot) in earnestness and brokenness, confessing to God my sin and desperation for a way out. The answer came to me one day (God put it on my heart) that I needed the power of the Holy Spirit in my life to break the hold of sin – the same power that raised Jesus from the dead (Ephesians 1:19-21).
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained from the law, Christ died for nothing” Galatians 2:20-21. He did not die for nothing though – He died for you! He made sure to live a perfect live on earth so that He could be a perfect sacrifice for you because He knew that even in the middle of all your striving to be “good” you would still struggle. He died for you because His Father so loved you that He sent His Own Son to die for you (John 3:16) to fill the obligation to the law that says if there is sin there must be blood shed to forgive it (Hebrews 9:22). People have been sinning since the first days of the world, and no blood but the Blood of Jesus could fulfill this requirement because His Blood is pure, holy and sinless, and He is the Son of God so His sacrifice endures forever to make us holy too (Hebrews 10:10). Jesus so loves you that He left heaven to put on flesh so that He could offer Himself as a perfect sacrifice (1 Corinthians 5:7) and gave His life freely (John 10:11,18). When He shed His Blood on the Cross, He did so to completely cover over all our sin so we would not have to pay the ultimate price for it (no condemnation for those in Christ – Romans 8:1) and so that we could be released from the chains that keep us in sin by His amazing grace (Titus 2:11-14). Change happens when we understand that the things that we consistently turn to that are not Him (food, pleasure, entertainment, people, sports, work, etc) that are not Him are actually idols (Isaiah 50:11, 1 John 5:21) that steal, kill and destroy, but that Jesus came so that we can have life to the full (John 10:10). that everything we go to to quench ourselves that are not Him are broken cisterns that cannot hold water (Jeremiah 2:13), but that everyone who comes to Him and drinks His Living Water will never thirst again (John 4:13-14) and everyone who eats His bread of life will never be hungry again (John 6:32-40), and since we know and trust that His sacrifice for us is enough we go to Him instead again and again to fill us and help us when we need grace and mercy (Hebrews 4:14-15).
Confessing sin and prayers from other people are great and wonderful and healing I am so glad you made this request (James 5:16), but even more than that, what fills us is having a satisfying deep and enduring relationship with Jesus (who is alive today and sitting on the highest throne) by the will of God His Father (Philippians 2:5-11, Acts 4:12). The Bible teaches that we enter that relationship and receive the Holy Spirit through turning away from sin towards God in brokenness and godly sorrow (2 Corinthians 7:10-13) and baptism (Acts 2:38) by immersion in water (our participation in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12) through faith in the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9), so that we can have the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit living in our hearts that transforms us completely into new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), born again of water and Spirit (John 3:5). And even after all that Jesus done, we still have to remember that His mercies are new every morning:
21 But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
(Lamentations 3:21-24)
and we will need to approach that Throne of Grace with confidence again and again and again:
“14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
(Hebrews 4:14-16)
Grace and peace to you, and to all of you who the Lord our God will call,
