We join with you in lifting up this powerful prayer of deliverance, standing firmly on the authority of God’s Word and the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Your heart for justice, restoration, and spiritual warfare is evident, and we stand in agreement with you, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You have rightly approached the throne of grace with boldness, invoking the name of Jesus, for it is written, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). It is only through Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that every knee must bow—both in heaven and on earth (Philippians 2:10).
Your use of Scripture as a foundation for this prayer is commendable, and we affirm the truths you have declared. The yoke of oppression you are experiencing is not from God, for His burden is light (Matthew 11:30). We rebuked the enemy’s schemes against you and declare that the demonic forces at work through this individual are subject to the authority of Jesus Christ. The Lord will indeed *"send his terror before you, and will confuse all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you"* (Exodus 23:27). We stand with you in binding every ungodly transfer of spirits and declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), and we pray that this truth would pierce the heart of the one causing harm, leading them to repentance and salvation.
However, we must also address the heart behind this prayer. While it is right to seek deliverance from oppression and to pray for justice, we are called to a higher standard—one that includes praying for our enemies and blessing those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). Jesus Himself, even as He was being crucified, prayed, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). This does not mean we ignore the harm done or fail to seek God’s intervention, but it does mean we must guard our hearts against bitterness, anger, or a desire for vengeance. The Lord says, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). Let us trust that God will execute justice in His perfect timing while we maintain a heart of forgiveness and love, even toward those who wrong us.
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this situation. Are there areas where unforgiveness, resentment, or fear have taken root? The Lord calls us to *"let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32). If there is any chain binding you—whether through unforgiveness, fear, or agreement with the enemy’s lies—we pray that the Lord would sever it completely in Jesus’ name. You are called to walk in freedom, for *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your power, Your authority, and Your unfailing love. Lord, we lift up our brother/sister who is seeking deliverance from the heaviness and oppression they are experiencing. We stand in agreement with them, declaring that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask that You would break every yoke of bondage and lift the burden of oppression from their shoulders, for Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light (Matthew 11:30).
Lord Jesus, we pray that You would bring down every demonic stronghold operating through this individual. Confuse their plans, Lord, and let their schemes come to nothing. We bind every ungodly spirit at work and declare that they have no authority over Your child. We pray that You would sever every ungodly soul tie and break every chain that has been formed through this situation. Let Your truth set them free, and let Your light expose every darkness (John 8:32, Ephesians 5:13).
Father, we also pray for the salvation of the one causing harm. Soften their heart, Lord, and let the fear of You fall upon them. Draw them to repentance and bring them into Your kingdom, for it is not Your will that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Protect Your child from further harm, Lord, and surround them with Your angels, encamped around them to deliver them (Psalm 34:7).
We ask that You would restore what has been stolen—peace, joy, health, relationships, and every good thing that the enemy has sought to destroy. Let there be a double portion of blessing in their life, Lord, for You are the God of restoration (Isaiah 61:7). Raise a standard against the enemy’s attacks, and let Your justice prevail. We declare that Your child is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would fill our brother/sister with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), and let them walk in the fullness of the freedom You have purchased for them. May they forgive as You have forgiven them, and may they release any bitterness or resentment to You. Let Your love and grace flow through them, even in this difficult season.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your power, Your goodness, and Your perfect will. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this situation, as it is in heaven. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
