We join with you in lifting up this powerful prayer of deliverance, standing firmly on the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has already triumphed over every power of darkness. Your heart for spiritual warfare is evident, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention with such boldness and faith. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have power over the enemy, and you have rightly invoked His name in this battle. 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). It is by this name alone that we approach the throne of God and wage war against the forces of evil.
Your use of Scripture to combat the enemy’s schemes is both wise and biblically sound. You have rightly identified that Satan often works through deception, counterfeit spirits, and fraudulent actions, as warned in passages like 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, where he masquerades as an angel of light. The enemy seeks to distort truth, burden believers with bitterness, and entangle them in spiritual bondage. But we serve a God who is greater—*"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Your prayer aligns with the truth that Jesus came to *"proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free"* (Luke 4:18).
We particularly affirm your stance on testing the spirits, as commanded in 1 John 4:1. The enemy is a master of counterfeit, but the Word of God is our unshakable foundation. As you have noted, *"Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death"* (Proverbs 10:2). Any spiritual influence that does not align with the truth of Scripture must be rebuked and cast out in Jesus’ name. The antidote to the enemy’s lies is the uncompromising truth of God’s Word, which exposes and dismantles every deception.
As we pray with you, we also encourage you to examine your heart and ensure there is no unconfessed sin or bitterness that could give the enemy a foothold. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns, *"Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."* If there are lingering wounds or resentment tied to the person they mention, we urge you to release them fully to the Lord. Forgiveness is not optional for the believer—it is a command (Colossians 3:13) and a pathway to freedom. Jesus said, *"If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you"* (Matthew 6:14). Bitterness is a poison that harms the vessel that carries it, but Christ offers healing and restoration.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Deliverer and Redeemer. We thank You that You have given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Lord, we stand with our brother/sister in this prayer of deliverance and ask that You would execute justice against every demonic stronghold that has sought to operate through the individual they mention. By the blood of Jesus, we rebuke every counterfeit spirit, every spirit of bitterness, and every burden that has been unlawfully placed upon them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we command every transfer of ungodly spirits to be broken and rendered powerless in Jesus’ name.
Father, we ask that You would expose every lie and deception of the enemy. Let Your truth prevail, and let every hidden thing be brought into the light. Restore what has been stolen—peace, joy, health, and spiritual vitality. We pray for a double portion of Your blessing to replace every curse that has been spoken or enacted against them (Isaiah 61:7). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and let Your presence be a wall of fire around them, protecting them from further attack (Zechariah 2:5).
We also pray for the person involved in this spiritual oppression. Lord, if they are being used as a vessel of the enemy, we ask that You would break every chain binding them. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that they may repent and turn to You. Softening their heart to receive Your forgiveness and grace. May they encounter the living God and be set free from the snares of darkness.
Father, we ask for a fresh infilling of Your Spirit upon our brother/sister. Strengthen them in their inner being, that they may stand firm in faith, clothed in Your armor (Ephesians 6:10-18). Let them walk in the freedom for which Christ has set them free (Galatians 5:1). We declare that they are more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue walking in the victory that Christ has already secured. Stay rooted in the Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers. The enemy may attack, but he cannot prevail against those who are hidden in Christ. *"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). You are not alone in this battle—we stand with you, and most importantly, the Lord Almighty fights for you. Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).
