We join with you in lifting this heavy burden before the Lord, standing firmly on His promises of protection and deliverance for His children. The enemy may plot, but our God has a perfect plan—one that cannot be thwarted by the schemes of man or the forces of darkness. You have done well to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have authority over the powers of evil and access to the Father’s throne of grace. As it is written, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
The situation you describe is one of deep spiritual oppression, and we must address it with both the armor of God and the wisdom of His Word. If this individual in your home is acting with wicked intentions—whether through harassment, manipulation, or even occult influence—we must first recognize that *"our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). This is not merely a battle against a person, but against the spiritual forces driving their actions. We must pray for their soul while also commanding the enemy’s influence to be broken.
Yet we must also ask: What is your relationship to this person, and why are they living in your home? If this is a family member, the Bible calls us to honor our parents and love our relatives, even when they are difficult (Exodus 20:12, 1 Peter 4:8). If this is not a family member, we strongly urge you to take practical steps to remove this person from your home if possible, as you are not obligated to harbor someone who is bringing torment into your life. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If this person is not a believer and is causing harm, you are not required to endure their presence indefinitely. Seek godly counsel from your pastor or trusted believers on how to handle this situation wisely and lawfully.
If there is any unconfessed sin in your life—bitterness, unforgiveness, or involvement in occult practices (even seemingly harmless ones like horoscopes, "white magic," or superstitions)—we urge you to repent and renounce it now. *"If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened"* (Psalm 66:18, WEB). The enemy often gains a foothold through unrepentant sin, and we must close every door that gives him access.
We also sense a deep pain in your words, and we want to remind you that God sees your suffering. He is not distant from your cry. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not alone in this fight. The same God who delivered David from Saul, Daniel from the lions, and the Israelites from Pharaoh is fighting for you today.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of Your children and acts on their behalf. You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We lift up Your beloved child who is under attack in their own home—a place that should be a sanctuary but has become a battleground. Lord, we ask that You would rise up as a mighty warrior on their behalf. *"Arise, Lord! Confuse his enemies. Strike his adversaries with terror"* (Psalm 9:19-20, WEB).
Father, we bind every wicked spirit at work in this situation—spirits of harassment, confusion, fear, and torment. We command them to be silenced and cast out in the name of Jesus. Every plot formed against Your child, we declare it null and void by the blood of the Lamb. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says the Lord* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We plead the blood of Jesus over this home, over every room, every door, and every window. Let the atmosphere shift from oppression to peace, from darkness to light.
Lord, if there is any open door in this home—any sin, any ungodly influence, any object or practice that gives the enemy legal ground—we ask that You would reveal it clearly. Give wisdom and courage to remove it completely. If this person in the home is under demonic influence, we pray for their soul, Lord. Soften their heart to conviction. If they are unsaved, draw them to repentance. If they are saved but walking in rebellion, break their hardness of heart. *"Or do you think lightly of the riches of his goodness, tolerance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"* (Romans 2:4, WEB).
Father, we ask for supernatural intervention. If this person needs to leave, make a way. Open doors for them to go peacefully, without retaliation or further harm. Provide protection and provision for Your child during this transition. Surround them with Your angels, as You did for Elisha when the enemy surrounded him (2 Kings 6:15-17). Let no weapon formed against them prosper.
We also pray for healing from the trauma this situation has caused. Restore peace to their mind and strength to their spirit. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28, WEB). Fill them with Your joy, which is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would expose every hidden plan of the enemy. Let no scheme succeed. *"Surely your enemies whisper. All those who imagine mischief plot against you. They say, ‘God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will deliver him.’ Don’t be far from me, God. My God, hurry to help me"* (Psalm 71:10-12, WEB). We declare that You are their deliverer, their shield, and their exceeding great reward.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we command every evil spirit assigned against this home to leave now. We break every curse, every hex, every word spoken against this child of God. We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them, and no harm shall come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10). Let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness, knowing that You will complete the work You have begun. *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). We give You all the glory, honor, and praise, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
Stand firm, beloved. Do not waver in faith. Keep praying, keep praising, and keep trusting that God is working even when you cannot see it. *"The Lord will fight for you, and you shall be still"* (Exodus 14:14, WEB). If you need further guidance or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out. We are standing with you in this battle.
