We join you in lifting up your mother and this deeply painful situation to the Lord, standing in agreement with your prayers for deliverance, repentance, and restoration. Your heart for her salvation and your own healing is evident, and we commend you for seeking God’s intervention through His Word. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have authority to bind the enemy and see true transformation, and we are grateful you have invoked His mighty name in this battle.
The spiritual warfare you describe is real, and the enemy often uses family members—especially those in authority over us—to sow discord, confusion, and bitterness. Your mother’s actions, as you’ve shared, reflect the influence of narcissism, pride, and possibly even demonic strongholds that have taken root in her heart. While we pray for her deliverance, we must also acknowledge that true change begins with brokenness before the Lord. As you’ve rightly stood on **Zechariah 3:2**, we declare that the Lord rebuke Satan for using her as a vessel of accusation, manipulation, and vengeance. The enemy has no legal right to her life, and we bind every spirit of pride, deception, and narcissism that has operated through her, commanding them to be silenced and cast out in Jesus’ name.
Your cry for restoration from the gaslighting and emotional abuse you’ve endured is just, and we stand with you on **Isaiah 61:7**, proclaiming that instead of shame, you will receive a double portion of honor, and instead of disgrace, you will rejoice in your inheritance. The years the locusts have eaten—years of confusion, self-doubt, and pain—shall be restored by the Lord’s hand. We pray that every lie she has spoken over you be exposed and replaced with the truth of God’s Word. You are *not* what she has made you feel. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**), and the Lord sees your suffering. He is your defender (**Proverbs 23:11**), and He will vindicate you in His perfect timing.
We also take authority over the generational curses and demonic assignments that have sought to destroy your family. As **2 Corinthians 10:3-5** declares, though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. We demolish every argument, every pretension, and every proud obstacle that exalts itself against the knowledge of God in your mother’s life. We break the power of narcissism, witchcraft, and control, and we loose the spirit of humility, repentance, and surrender to Christ over her.
Yet, as we pray for her, we must also speak truth in love: your mother’s behavior is sinful, and unless she repents, she remains under judgment. **1 John 1:9** tells us that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her deeply of her need for salvation—not just a change in behavior, but a *transformed heart*. May she encounter the Lord in a way that shatters her pride and leads her to the foot of the cross. We ask that God would remove any hardness of heart (**Ezekiel 36:26**) and grant her a spirit of repentance, that she may turn from her wicked ways and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For you, beloved, we pray a hedge of protection as **2 Timothy 4:18** promises. The Lord will deliver you from every evil work and preserve you for His heavenly Kingdom. We ask that He would heal the wounds inflicted by her words and actions, restoring your mind, emotions, and spirit. If there is any bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness in your heart toward her, we encourage you to release it to the Lord. **Ephesians 4:31-32** commands us to let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away, and instead be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you. This does not mean excusing her sin, but it means trusting God to be your vindicator while you walk in freedom.
Lastly, we urge you to guard your heart and set healthy boundaries. **Proverbs 4:23** tells us to keep our heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. If your mother continues in her harmful patterns, it is wise and biblical to limit her access to you until she demonstrates true repentance. You are not obligated to subject yourself to abuse in the name of "honoring your mother" (**Exodus 20:12**). Honoring does not mean enabling sin. Pray for wisdom on how to love her from a distance if necessary, while still interceding for her salvation.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious child of Yours and their mother. Lord, You see the deep wounds, the manipulation, and the spiritual warfare at play. We thank You that You are a God of justice and mercy, and we ask that You would move mightily in this situation.
First, we bind every demonic spirit operating through [mother’s name]—spirits of narcissism, pride, vengeance, gaslighting, witchcraft, and deception. We command these spirits to be silenced and cast out in Jesus’ name. Lord, break every generational curse and stronghold that has given the enemy a foothold in her life. Let every lie she has believed and spoken be exposed by the light of Your truth.
Father, we ask that You would humble her heart. Bring her to a place of brokenness where she sees her need for You. Softened her heart to receive the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Let her encounter You in a way that shatters her pride and leads her to repentance. Save her, Lord! Do not let her perish in her sin, but draw her to Yourself with cords of love (**Hosea 11:4**).
For Your child who has suffered at her hands, we ask for deep healing. Restore what has been stolen—peace, confidence, joy, and trust in You. Remove every seed of doubt and self-condemnation that the enemy has planted. Let them walk in the fullness of their identity in Christ, unshaken by her words or actions.
Grant them wisdom, Lord, on how to navigate this relationship. If boundaries are needed, give them the courage to set them in love and without guilt. Surround them with godly counsel and support. Let them forgive as You have forgiven them, but also protect them from further harm.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**), and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. Bring justice, Lord, and let Your will be done in both of their lives.
We thank You, Father, that You are working all things together for good (**Romans 8:28**). We trust You to redeem this pain and use it for Your glory. Strengthen them, Lord, and let them see Your hand moving in this situation.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in the Lord, beloved. He has not forgotten you, and He will bring justice. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience. The battle is His, and the victory is already won.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
