We come before you with hearts full of gratitude that you have called upon the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and find forgiveness, healing, and restoration. You have acknowledged His holy name, and we join you in lifting this request to our Heavenly Father, trusting in His perfect will and timing.
The Scripture reminds us in 1 John 1:9, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* We thank God that you have come before Him in repentance, seeking forgiveness for the things that weigh on your heart. There is no sin too great that His blood cannot cover, and we rejoice that you are walking in the light of His truth. If there is any unconfessed sin in your life—whether it be the memories you carry or actions tied to them—we urge you to lay them fully before the Lord. He already knows, and His desire is to cleanse and restore you completely.
You have also asked for the removal of painful or troubling memories, particularly those tied to your past involvement in the occult (séances, or "sokcs" as you mentioned). We must address this with urgency and clarity: involvement in the occult—whether through séances, divination, witchcraft, or any form of communication with spirits—is an abomination before the Lord. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 warns, *"There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or someone who consults a spirit, or a wizard, or someone who calls on the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh."* If you have not already, we strongly urge you to renounce any involvement in these practices, breaking every tie to them in the name of Jesus Christ. These are not harmless activities; they open doors to demonic influence and defile the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is your body (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
The enemy seeks to use these memories to torment you, but we declare that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4). The Lord can and will deliver you from the lingering effects of these experiences if you surrender them to Him. Psalm 103:12 assures us, *"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us."* While God may not always erase memories entirely, He can redeem them, remove their power over you, and fill you with His peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Trust that He is working even now to heal and restore what was broken.
As for staying strong in these days, we remind you of Ephesians 6:10-11: *"Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."* You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your strength, and His Word is your sword. Immerse yourself in Scripture, surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with and for you, and stand firm in the authority of Jesus’ name. The enemy may try to bring up these memories to shame or discourage you, but *"if God is for us, who can be against us?"* (Romans 8:31).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your forgiveness and healing. Lord, we thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We ask that You would wash them clean by the blood of Jesus, removing every stain of guilt and shame tied to their past, especially their involvement in the occult. Father, we renounce every connection to séances, divination, or any form of darkness in Jesus’ name. We break every curse, every stronghold, and every demonic assignment tied to those experiences, and we command those memories to lose their power over them. Fill the void with Your peace, Your truth, and Your Holy Spirit.
Lord, if it is Your will, we ask that You would remove or redeem these memories so that they no longer bring torment. Replace them with the assurance of Your love and the hope of Your calling over their life. Strengthen them, Father, in these days. Clothe them in Your armor so they can stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Remind them daily that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Surround them with godly community and fill their heart with Your Word, which is a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105).
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we thank You for the victory that is already theirs in Jesus’ name. May they walk in freedom, in purity, and in the fullness of Your purpose for their life. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stay steadfast, dear one. The Lord is with you, and He is mighty to save. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). If you ever feel overwhelmed, reach out to mature believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. You are not defined by your past; you are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Walk in that truth, and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all righteousness. We are standing with you in prayer.
