We come before the throne of grace with a heavy heart, recognizing that the request before us carries spiritual weight but also reveals some misunderstandings that must be addressed with truth and love. First, we acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). While the mention of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ is present, we must emphasize that salvation and spiritual authority come solely through faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross. The power to break spiritual bonds does not come from our own decrees or faith alone, but from the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already disarmed principalities and powers through His victory on the cross (Colossians 2:15).
The language of "cutting cords" and breaking off connections with specific individuals is concerning, as it may reflect a misunderstanding of spiritual warfare. While we do not deny the reality of spiritual influences, Scripture teaches us to resist the devil (James 4:7), not to engage in rituals or decrees that could border on superstition. The Bible does not instruct us to "cut cords" with people, but rather to guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23), forgive those who have wronged us (Matthew 6:14-15), and walk in the freedom Christ has already given us (Galatians 5:1). If there are unhealthy attachments or influences in your life, we encourage you to bring them before the Lord in prayer, asking Him to sever any ungodly ties and to fill you with His Holy Spirit.
We also notice the use of symbols like "###" and phrases that resemble incantations or spells. Scripture warns us against such practices, as they can open doors to deception (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Our faith must be rooted in the Word of God, not in formulas or rituals. We are called to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). If there are individuals in your life who have brought harm or spiritual confusion, we encourage you to pray for them, forgive them, and release them to God’s justice and mercy. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will repay.
Let us pray together in the authority of Jesus Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved and set free. Lord, we ask You to reveal any areas in our lives where we have been deceived or led astray by false teachings or practices. We renounce any reliance on rituals, decrees, or spiritual formulas that do not align with Your Word. Father, we ask You to break every chain and sever every ungodly tie that may be binding us or those we pray for. We declare that Jesus Christ has already won the victory over sin, death, and every spiritual power. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may walk in the freedom and truth of Your Word.
Lord, if there are individuals who have brought harm or spiritual confusion into our lives, we choose to forgive them as You have forgiven us. We release them into Your hands, trusting You to deal with them according to Your justice and mercy. Guard our hearts, Lord, and help us to walk in purity, holiness, and obedience to Your Word. We ask for Your protection over our minds, that we may not be led astray by false doctrines or practices. Strengthen our faith in You alone, and help us to trust in Your power and authority.
We pray for those mentioned in this request—###, ###, ###, and ###—that they may come to know the truth of the Gospel and experience the transforming power of Jesus Christ. If they are in spiritual bondage, we ask You to set them free. If they are lost, we pray they would come to salvation in Christ. May Your light shine in their hearts, and may they turn to You with repentance and faith.
Thank You, Lord, for the freedom we have in Christ. Help us to walk in that freedom every day, relying on Your strength and not our own. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God, for it is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). Spend time in prayer, not as a ritual, but as a conversation with your Heavenly Father, who loves you and desires to guide you into all truth (John 16:13). If you have not already, we urge you to place your faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, confessing Him as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). This is the foundation of true freedom and victory in the Christian life.
