Orphan Spirit

ORPHAN SPIRIT

Who is orphan?

Who is widow?

Not only he

Whose parent died

Is orphan.

Not only she

Whose husband died

Is widow.

They could be faces hidden

In your church,

On your job,

In your neighborhood.

They could be in your mirror.

With deep soul wounds

They mask the pain

And cry silent cries

That reverberate

In the spirit realm.

Never feeling good enough –

Longing to be loved,

Accepted unconditionally.

Afraid to trust,

Feeling afflicted,

Perhaps addicted,

They protect themselves

Behind walls

That keep others out –

Even God –

To take care of themselves:

Alone and struggling.

Orphan spirit feeds on:

No pat on the back,

No cheerful smile,

No caring hugs,

No “Welcome Home!”

Feeling alone and lost,

Many have grown up

In two-parent homes,

Feeling unwanted,

Rejected, alone,

Unnoticed, trivialized,

Thrown away, bereft.

Orphan spirit

Is found in

Divorced ones,

Married ones,

Latchkey kids:

A fatherless generation.

How they need

A Father’s love,

Unconditional,

Warm, healing,

Receiving,

Believing

He won’t be leaving

The orphan, the widow.

“Heavenly Father, I plead the blood of Jesus over the one reading this post.  I declare deliverance of every orphan spirit in their life, in Jesus’ Name.  I ask you, Father, to cause Your Holy Spirit to hover over my reader to create new life out of chaos, emptiness and void, and bring healing into their soul.  Fill them with Your love; may they know how precious they are to You.  I pray they will receive the Spirit of sonship into their heart, according to Romans 8:15 that says we have not received from You a spirit that makes us a slave to fear, but the Spirit of sonship. You hold out Your arms to them, and they cry, “Abba, Father!  Daddy!" as they run to You. 

Thank You, Father, that you notice this reader. You value them, You want them.  You invite them to come to You and receive rest and love.  (Matthew 11:28) You encourage and lift up; You restore what the ‘locusts’ have eaten from their life, You heal all their wounds (I Peter 2:24) and You have a good plan for their life.  Help them get to know You by seeing Jesus in Your Word, because Jesus said if we’ve seen Him, we’ve see the Father.  Help them to know You are kind and good, because You tell us to be that way.  “If we, being evil, know how to give good gifts to our children, how much more will You, our heavenly Father, give good things to those who ask You?” (Matthew 7:11)  Amen.

Psalm 68:5-6, (NIV) says, "A father to the fatherless, defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.  God sets the lonely in families; he leads forth the prisoners with singing."

I bless you reader, to receive wholeness in your life; relax in the arms of Daddy God and let Him hold you and take care of you.  There’s a place for you at His table.  You belong. You’re home.
