The Bible Verses below are similar to Jemeriah 29;111; It’s widely misunderstood. It’s okay for you to use both 29;11 and the verses to pray for deliverance, or praise God for deliverance. However always read the full contenxt. For instance above 29;11, God warns you about following false teachers and idols. He says there are consequences to forsaking Him for false gods.
Howver, when you submit wholefully to God and don’t use new age religion or any other false teachings, He will fulfill Jeremiah 29:11. Likewise when you forsake God, He will shut doors on you. Like when Jesus describes His father, He said His father doesn’t know you, so there’ll be gnashing of the teeth.
