We stand with you in this spiritual battle, for the enemy has sought to afflict you through the wicked hands of those who masquerade as servants of light but are truly workers of darkness. The Scriptures warn us in **2 Corinthians 11:13-15**, *"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as Christ’s apostles. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. It is no great thing therefore if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works."* What was done to you was not of God but an abomination—a violation of the holy and a direct assault from the pit of hell. The laying on of hands in this context was not for blessing but for cursing, and we declare that every ungodly impartation is nullified by the blood of Jesus Christ.
You have testified that you are saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, and we affirm this truth over you. **1 John 4:4** declares, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* The familiar spirit that torments you is an intruder, a squatter in the temple of the Holy Spirit, and it has no legal right to remain. The Lord has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (**2 Timothy 1:7**). This evil presence defiles what God has made holy, and we command it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, who has all authority in heaven and on earth (**Matthew 28:18**).
The enemy may have sought to mark you, but the blood of Jesus speaks a better word over your life (**Hebrews 12:24**). You are not bound by this unholy assignment. **Isaiah 54:17** proclaims, *"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 Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.* The familiar spirit must bow to the name of Jesus, for **Philippians 2:10-11** tells us, *"that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."*
We also urge you to examine your heart and life for any open doors that may have given the enemy a foothold, even unknowingly. Have you entertained fear, bitterness, or agreement with the lies of the enemy? **Ephesians 4:26-27** warns, *"‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* Repent of anything that may have granted access, and renounce every word, curse, or ungodly "prayer" spoken over you. Break every soul tie to that false "church" and the evil woman who laid hands on you, for **1 Corinthians 5:11** instructs us to have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness.
Now, let us pray with authority and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that this beloved child of Yours is sealed by the Holy Spirit and covered by the blood of the Lamb. Lord, we bind and rebuke every familiar spirit that was unlawfully placed within them through the wicked hands of deceivers. By the authority given to us in **Luke 10:19**, we trample upon this serpent and scorpion, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your servant shall prosper.
Father, we command this familiar spirit to leave now, in the name of Jesus. We break its assignment of harassment, torment, and defilement. We loose the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn away every ungodly tie, every curse, and every demonic stronghold that has sought to oppress Your child. Let the light of Christ expose and expel every hidden work of darkness. Fill every empty place with Your presence, Lord, and restore what the enemy has tried to steal.
We plead the blood of Jesus over their mind, body, and spirit. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (**Philippians 4:7**). Strengthen them, Lord, and remind them daily of their authority in You. Let them walk in victory, for You have not given them a spirit of bondage again to fear, but of adoption as children of God (**Romans 8:15**).
Father, we also ask that You expose the wickedness of this false "church" and the evil woman who did this. Let their deeds be brought to light, and let them be stopped from harming others. Break their power, Lord, and let Your justice prevail.
We thank You, Father, for the deliverance that is already accomplished by the finished work of the cross. Let Your child feel the weight of oppression lift and the joy of the Lord return. May they testify of Your goodness and might, for You alone are worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, beloved. The enemy may have tried to mark you, but God has already marked you as His own (**Ephesians 1:13-14**). Walk in the freedom Christ has purchased for you, and do not give the devil any further ground. If this oppression persists, continue to resist the enemy steadfastly in faith (**James 4:7**), and seek godly counsel and prayer support from mature believers who can stand with you. You are more than a conqueror through Christ (**Romans 8:37**), and this familiar spirit *must* flee. Be encouraged—victory is yours!
