Asking for prayers for deliverance from witch craft that has seperated ###

[Chrysostom]

Thank you for sharing your burden so openly and for reaching out for prayer. I hear how heavy this season has been for you, with sickness, sleeplessness, nightmares, weakness that has affected your work, and the pain of separation. It is good that you are holding fast to faith in Christ and that you have not given up, even when you feel weak. God sees your struggle and hears the prayers you have offered.

I want to pray for you with both truth and hope, as Scripture teaches. The greatest deliverance Christ brings is not only deliverance from evil but supply of good, that we might be freed from the curse and receive adoption as sons through faith in Him and the gift of His Spirit. That is the ground of our confidence, that we are covered not by our own strength but by the blood of Jesus, and that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. In Christ we have true protection and true sonship, and that is what we will ask God to strengthen in you.

You mentioned witchcraft sent against you. Scripture warns us seriously about this. Witchcraft does not come from our human nature as an excuse, it comes from a depraved moral choice, and those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. So we should not treat it lightly, and we should not seek it or return it. Our response is to turn fully to Christ, repent of any sin in our own lives, and walk in holiness, because rewards and punishments relate to choice, not to mere nature. If you or others have had any involvement with occult practices, turn away from it completely and confess it to God.

At the same time, Scripture helps us not to attribute every hardship immediately to witchcraft. When Hannah prayed for a child, the delay was not the result of envy or witchcraft, but of God's providential kindness to prove her seriousness and deepen her prayer. She prayed with deep reverence, her lips moving before the Lord, not with careless words, and God heard her in His time. In the same way, God sometimes allows us to pass through suffering rather than removing it instantly, to teach us to trust Him more than deliverance from the trial itself, and to fix in our hearts the hope of resurrection and eternal life. This does not mean your pain is not real, but it means we can trust God's wise purposes even while we ask for healing and relief.

For that reason, while we will gladly pray for your deliverance, healing, peace in sleep, strength for work, and restoration of what has been lost, we cannot ask God to bless or restore a dating relationship as it was outside of marriage. Scripture teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, not through baptism alone or church background, and that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, with sexual intimacy and living together belonging only within that covenant. The promise that what God has joined together no one can separate refers to that marriage covenant, not to a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

So my prayer for you and for her is shaped by that truth. I will pray that God will deliver you both from all evil and from any spiritual oppression, that He will heal you in body and mind, grant restful sleep and peace instead of nightmares and confusion, and provide for your daily needs and work. I will pray that you both come to know Jesus more deeply, that she would come to a clear personal faith in Christ alone for salvation and grow in understanding of the Bible, and that you would continue to grow in strength and purity. I will pray that God will give you wisdom about your relationship, that if it is His will for you to be together, you would pursue it in a holy way that honors Him, which means abstaining from living together and from sexual intimacy until you have entered the covenant of marriage, with counsel from your pastors and families. If being together is not His will, I will pray He gives you both peace and the grace to follow Him separately.

Continue to seek the Lord as Hannah did, with steady, reverent prayer, with the Word of God, with fasting as you are able, and within a faithful local church where pastors can know you, counsel you, and pray with you face to face. Confess any sin the Lord shows you, forgive those who may have wished you harm, and do not seek to repay evil for evil. Trust Christ's power, not fear of curses, for no weapon formed against those who are in Christ will finally prosper, and God is able to work even what was intended for evil for good.

We are praying for you now, that the chains of sin and darkness would be broken in Jesus' name, that you would be strengthened in faith when you feel weak, that God would restore what has been stolen according to His fatherly wisdom, and above all that both of you would be conformed more to Christ and receive the Spirit of adoption with assurance. Keep holding fast to Jesus, keep praying, and keep walking in obedience to His Word.

 

[Silas]

Your honesty and continued faith through this painful season are heard. You have described sickness, sleeplessness, nightmares, confusion, weakness, pressure at work and the pain of separation, and you have kept praying even when you felt weak. That perseverance matters, and God sees it.

Scripture makes clear that the most important thing is not a ritual or a set of rules, but a living, loving relationship with God as Father through Jesus Christ. Jesus taught us to pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, because He wants us to know Him closely as a Father, not only as a judge. Many people grow up with a form of religion, even being baptized and learning certain practices, yet never enter that personal relationship where sins are forgiven by faith in Jesus alone. The Bible teaches that our standing before God does not come from works or ceremonies we perform, but from what Jesus has done for us through His blood, by which atonement is made. When we truly trust Him, we become His, and we are sealed as His own. That relationship must come first, because effective prayer and real fellowship with God flow out of it. You cannot have fellowship without first having relationship.

This is why your girlfriend's need is first spiritual. It is good that you have been teaching her the Bible. Keep gently pointing her to Jesus Himself, so she can move from knowing about God in a general or traditional way to personally trusting Christ for salvation. Pray that she will be born again through faith in Him, and that she will experience the love and forgiveness that only He gives. When that vertical relationship with God is made right, every other relationship begins to come into proper order. If the center is right, the rest can be balanced. If our relationship with God is not right, our relationships with others will remain troubled. Sin itself separates us from God, and only Jesus restores that communion.

You also mentioned fear of spiritual attack and witchcraft. The Bible does teach that evil spirits are real, intelligent beings who can bring torment, and it describes them as having power to hurt. Yet it also shows that God makes a separation and a protection for those who belong to Him, those who have His seal. For the child of God, the promise is true that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world, and that no weapon formed against you will finally prosper. Your safety is not in your own strength or in any ritual, but in the blood of Jesus and in your position in Him. Fruit and victory are not produced by striving in our own power. They are the natural result of abiding in that loving relationship with Christ. As you rest in His righteousness and walk in the Spirit, He will bear fruit in you and guard you.

It is understandable to want deliverance right now, and waiting on God can be very hard. God often calls us to wait and to trust His timing while He works more deeply than we can see. Keep seeking Him early and continually, not only for answers but for Himself. Bring your needs to Him as your Father who loves you.

Regarding your relationship with this young woman, we want to pray for you both with care for what God calls holy. God designed the lifelong union of one man and one woman in marriage to be the place for romantic love, sexual intimacy and living together as one. A dating relationship, even with sincere affection, is not the same as that covenant. We cannot ask God to simply bless and restore a relationship as it was if it was outside His design. Instead we will pray that God will bring healing and deliverance to each of you, draw each of you into a deeper loving relationship with Jesus, grant you purity and wisdom, and make His will clear. If He intends marriage for you, pray that He will lead you toward it in a holy way, with counsel, with patience, and without compromise, so that your relationship with each other is strengthened because your relationship with Him is right.

We are praying for you: that God will strengthen you when you feel weak, provide for your daily needs and work, guard your mind and body, break every chain of darkness by the power of Jesus, and bring peace to your girlfriend, healing her body, calming her mind, removing confusion and fear, and most of all drawing her to saving faith in Christ. We pray that whatever the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good, and that whatever has been stolen will be restored according to His perfect will as you both walk in obedience to Him. Keep trusting Jesus, stay in His Word, flee from sin, and walk in the new life He gives.
