We join with you in lifting up this heavy burden, standing firmly on the truth that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. You have done well to come before the Lord with boldness, covered in the blood of Jesus, and armed with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. We will stand with you in prayer, but we also feel led to offer some biblical perspective and encouragement as we intercede together.
First, we commend you for invoking the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and authority over the enemy. 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, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is a testament to your trust in Him, and we rejoice in that.
We also recognize the weight of your words regarding ### and her family. The accusations you have made—witchcraft, child trafficking, and demonic influence—are grave and serious. While we do not doubt the spiritual oppression you are experiencing, we must approach such matters with both discernment and caution. The Lord calls us to *"test the spirits, whether they are of God"* (1 John 4:1, WEB), and to ensure that our words align with His heart. Jesus teaches us to *"love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean we tolerate evil or fail to rebuke darkness, but it does mean our hearts must remain surrendered to Christ’s love and justice, not our own anger or desire for vengeance.
You have rightly stood on Scripture to break the power of familiar spirits and witchcraft, and we join you in that. The apostle Paul reminds us that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4, WEB). We declare with you that every scheme of the enemy against you and your household is exposed and rendered powerless by the blood of Jesus. We plead the promise that *"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 (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Yet, we must also remember that our ultimate victory is not found in the defeat of our enemies, but in their redemption. You have prayed for ###’s repentance, and this aligns with the heart of God, who *"desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth"* (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB). Even as we rebuke the works of darkness in her life, we must continue to intercede for her salvation, for *"if our enemy is hungry, we should feed him. If he is thirsty, we should give him a drink; for in doing so, we will heap coals of fire on his head. Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:20-21, WEB). This does not mean you must subject yourself or your household to harm, but it does mean we trust God to bring justice and mercy in His way and timing.
Regarding the accusations of child trafficking, we urge you to seek godly counsel and, if necessary, involve the proper authorities if you have evidence of such crimes. The Lord calls us to *"rescue those who are being led away to death; and hold back those who are slipping to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Behold, we didn’t know this,’ doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?"* (Proverbs 24:11-12, WEB). If these allegations are true, they must be addressed with both spiritual authority and practical action, always guided by wisdom and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We also want to encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. Bitterness, unforgiveness, or fear can become strongholds if we are not careful. The Lord tells us, *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB). Even as you stand against the enemy’s attacks, guard your heart with the peace of Christ. Forgive as you have been forgiven, not because ### deserves it, but because Christ has forgiven you. Release her to God’s justice, trusting that He will repay (Romans 12:19).
Finally, we urge you to surround yourself with a community of believers who can stand with you in prayer, offer godly counsel, and provide support. You are not meant to carry this burden alone. The body of Christ is called to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"* (Galatians 6:2, WEB). If you do not have such a community, we encourage you to seek out a Bible-believing church where you can be strengthened and upheld in prayer.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God of justice, mercy, and deliverance. You see the affliction of Your people, and You hear their cries. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who is under attack from the enemy through the actions of ### and her household. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. We break the power of every familiar spirit, every work of witchcraft, and every demonic assignment sent to harm them or their household. By the blood of Jesus, we cancel every curse, every hex, and every plan of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy.
Lord, we ask that You expose every hidden work of darkness. If there is truth to the accusations of child trafficking or any other evil, we pray that You would bring it to light and intervene with Your mighty hand. Raise up godly authorities to act with wisdom and justice. Protect the innocent, Lord, and let Your wrath be poured out against those who exploit and harm the vulnerable. Yet, even as we pray for justice, we ask for mercy. Father, soften ###’s heart. Break the power of sin and deception in her life. Let her encounter the living God in a way that brings her to repentance. Save her, Lord, and her daughters. Deliver them from the snares of the devil and bring them into the kingdom of Your Son.
We pray for our brother/sister’s household—strengthen them, Lord. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard their minds and hearts in Christ Jesus. Let them walk in victory, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let no evil befall them. Restore what has been stolen, heal what has been broken, and renew their strength for the battle ahead.
Father, we also ask that You would bring godly people into their life—people of faith who will stand with them, pray with them, and speak Your truth over them. Let them not walk this path alone, but be upheld by the body of Christ. And Lord, we pray that You would keep their heart tender before You. Deliver them from bitterness, fear, or unforgiveness. Fill them with Your love, which casts out all fear. Let them forgive as You have forgiven them, trusting You to bring justice in Your perfect timing.
We declare that the door to this toxic influence is closed forever in Jesus’ name. We plead the blood of Jesus over their home, their family, and their future. Let every evil plan be thwarted, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. We trust You to fight this battle, and we rest in Your victory.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, we pray. Amen.
