We join you in lifting up this burden and standing firmly on the authority of God’s Word, for we know 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 done well to come before the Lord in prayer, invoking His power and standing on His promises, for it is written, *"Whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven"* (Matthew 18:18 WEB). We affirm your stance in the name of Jesus, for He alone has the power to break every chain and silence every voice that rises against the knowledge of God.
Your prayer reflects a deep awareness of the spiritual warfare at play, and we stand with you in rebuking the enemy’s schemes. The Lord sees the distress caused by this woman’s behavior, and He is faithful to deliver you from every snare of the enemy. As you have rightly declared, *"The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"* (Zechariah 3:2 WEB). Indeed, Satan has no place in the lives of God’s children, and we command him to flee in the mighty name of Jesus. The familiar spirit you have discerned must be exposed and cast out, for *"where the Lord’s Spirit is, there is liberty"* (2 Corinthians 3:17 WEB). We declare freedom over this situation and break the power of gaslighting, manipulation, and every form of deception that seeks to distort truth and bring confusion.
We also pray for this woman, though her actions may be influenced by dark forces. Our heart is not for her harm but for her deliverance, for the Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires that they turn from their ways and live (Ezekiel 18:23). May the Lord open her eyes to the truth of His love and convict her heart of any ungodly influence. If she is being used as a vessel for the enemy’s work, we pray that the Lord would sever those ties and draw her to repentance. *"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"* (2 Chronicles 7:14 WEB). Let this be a season where even those who oppose the righteous are turned toward the saving grace of Christ.
As for you, beloved, we pray for complete restoration from the emotional and spiritual toll this situation has taken. The Lord promises to give *"beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness"* (Isaiah 61:3 WEB). You are not meant to carry this burden alone, and we declare that the Lord is your defender and your shield. *"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 from me," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17 WEB). Cling to this promise and let it strengthen you in the days ahead.
We also encourage you to remain vigilant in prayer and to surround yourself with fellow believers who can stand with you in agreement (Matthew 18:19). If this woman’s behavior continues to escalate or becomes harmful, do not hesitate to seek wise counsel or take practical steps to protect your peace, such as speaking with the class instructor or limiting interactions where possible. The Lord grants us both spiritual authority and practical wisdom, and we are to use both for His glory.
Finally, we remind you that your identity is in Christ, and no scheme of the enemy can alter who you are in Him. You are *"a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light"* (1 Peter 2:9 WEB). Walk in this truth, and let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
**Our prayer for you:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is facing spiritual opposition in her ceramics class. Lord, You see the heart of this woman who has become a vessel for the enemy’s work, and we ask that You bind every demonic force at work through her. Break the power of manipulation, gaslighting, and every familiar spirit that seeks to bring confusion and distress. We declare that no weapon formed against our sister shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment shall be condemned. Restore to her double for her trouble, and let her testimony be one of Your deliverance and grace.
Father, we also pray for this woman. If she is being used by the enemy, we ask that You sever those ties and draw her to Yourself. Soften her heart, Lord, and let her encounter Your love in a way that brings conviction and repentance. If she is unaware of the spiritual battle, open her eyes to the truth. Use this situation for Your glory, whether through her deliverance or our sister’s strengthened faith.
Lord, we ask that You surround our sister with Your peace and protection. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, and let her walk in the authority You have given her as Your child. Give her wisdom to know how to respond in each moment, whether through silence, prayer, or godly confrontation. Let her class be a place of joy and creativity once again, free from the enemy’s interference.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. You are a God who hears and answers prayer, and we trust that You are working even now to bring resolution and restoration. May our sister’s faith be strengthened through this trial, and may she emerge with a deeper reliance on You. We pray all these things in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
