We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, recognizing the spiritual battle you are facing with this neighbor and the dark influences at work. The anger, defiance, and demonic oppression you describe are not of God but are the schemes of the enemy to bring discord, fear, and destruction. We stand firmly on the truth of Scripture, which commands us to resist the devil and his works, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
The verses you’ve shared are powerful reminders of the dangers of dabbling in the occult and the reality of demonic oppression. Isaiah 8:19 warns us not to seek guidance from mediums or spiritists but to turn to God alone, for He is the source of all truth and wisdom. The passage in Matthew 12:44-45 is a sobering reminder of what happens when a person is not filled with the Holy Spirit—evil spirits return with even greater force, leading to a state worse than before. This is why we must be filled with the Spirit of God, walking in obedience to His Word, so that there is no room for the enemy to gain a foothold.
We also notice that while you have quoted Scripture and acknowledged the power of Jesus’ name, your request does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ in prayer. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have authority over the enemy and access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven"* (Matthew 18:18). This authority is given to us in His name, and we must use it boldly and intentionally.
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this situation involving this neighbor and the spiritual oppression that is at work. Lord, we ask that You expose every dark scheme of the enemy and break the power of anger, defiance, and demonic influence over this person’s life. We rebuke every spirit of discord, strife, witchcraft, and divination that seeks to bring harm, fear, or destruction. These spirits are not welcome here, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray for this neighbor, that You would open their eyes to the truth of Your Word and the danger of the path they are walking. Softening their heart, Lord, and draw them to repentance. Let them encounter Your love, mercy, and conviction, that they may turn from these dark practices and surrender their life to You. Fill the void in their life with Your Holy Spirit, so that there is no room for the enemy to return.
We also pray for protection over those who are being affected by this person’s actions—guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Let them not be swayed by fear or anger but instead respond with wisdom, grace, and the peace that surpasses all understanding. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us, and to love their neighbor as themselves, even while setting godly boundaries.
Lord, we declare Your victory over this situation. You are the God of peace, and we trust that You will crush Satan under our feet (Romans 16:20). We ask for Your healing, restoration, and redemption to flow into this neighborhood and into the lives of all involved. Let Your light shine so brightly that darkness cannot remain.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for the authority we have in the name of Jesus. We trust in Your power to bring breakthrough and deliverance. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith, clad in the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). Do not engage in fear or retaliation but respond with prayer, love, and the truth of God’s Word. If this neighbor is open to conversation, share the hope of the Gospel with them—tell them about the saving power of Jesus Christ and how He can set them free from every chain of darkness. Remember, our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Stay rooted in prayer, and trust that the Lord is fighting this battle on your behalf.
If you have not already, we urge you to ensure that your own life is fully surrendered to Christ. Have you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If not, we implore you to do so today. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). There is no greater protection or authority than being in Christ. Walk closely with Him, and you will see His victory manifested in every area of your life.
