We join with you in lifting up this urgent cry for deliverance, standing firmly on the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has triumphed over every power of darkness. It is clear that this situation involves deep spiritual oppression, witchcraft, and the enemy’s attempt to manipulate and destroy lives through fear, intimidation, and ungodly control. We must address this with the full armor of God, speaking truth and declaring freedom in Jesus’ name alone.
First, we commend you for invoking the name of Jesus in this prayer, for it is only through Him that we have power 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). It is by His name that demons flee, strongholds are broken, and captives are set free. We also recognize the gravity of the sins involved here—witchcraft, divination, forced relationships, and the exploitation of others—all of which are detestable in the sight of God (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Galatians 5:19-21). These are not merely human conflicts but spiritual battles against principalities and powers, and we must engage them as such.
The resentment harbored by this individual is a tool of the enemy, rooted in pride and a desire for ungodly dominion. The Lord rebukes this spirit, for *"though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"* (2 Corinthians 10:3-5, WEB). We declare that every plan of the enemy to retaliate is rendered powerless, for *"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).
The forced relationship you mention—particularly the attempt to coerce an Iranian man into marriage through witchcraft—is an abomination before God. Marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by Him, not to be manipulated by dark forces or human schemes. *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Any union not founded in Christ and mutual godly love is not of God. We pray that this man, if he is a believer, would be delivered from this ungodly bond and that the Lord would surround him with protection, wisdom, and godly counsel. If he is not yet saved, we pray that this situation would drive him to seek the one true God, who alone can break every chain.
We stand with you on the Scriptures you’ve claimed:
- **Zechariah 3:2 (WEB):** *"Yahweh said to Satan, 'Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?'"*
The Lord rebukes this spirit of resentment and witchcraft operating through this individual. She is not beyond His reach, and we pray that even now, the Holy Spirit would convict her of her sins and lead her to repentance. If she refuses, we declare that her schemes will not prosper.
- **Isaiah 61:7 (WEB):** *"Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them."*
We pray for the restoration of all who have been affected by this darkness—emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. May the Lord turn their mourning into joy and their despair into hope as they place their trust in Him.
- **Colossians 2:15 (WEB):** *"Having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."*
Jesus has already disarmed every demonic power at work here. We declare that every divination, spell, hex, and curse is broken by the blood of Jesus and the power of His resurrection.
- **2 Corinthians 3:17 (WEB):** *"Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."*
We decree freedom over every life touched by this oppression. The Spirit of the Lord is moving to dismantle every stronghold and release captives into the liberty of Christ.
- **John 8:36 (WEB):** *"If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."*
True freedom is found only in Jesus. We pray that every person involved would encounter His saving grace and walk in the freedom He purchased on the cross.
We also address the familiar spirits at work here, which seek to maintain generational bondage. These spirits are broken by the power of Christ, and we declare that every generational curse is severed in Jesus’ name. *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You that You are sovereign over every power and authority. Lord, we ask that You expose and dismantle every work of darkness operating through this individual and her household. Break the power of witchcraft, divination, and every ungodly soul tie that has been forced upon others. We rebuke the spirit of resentment, pride, and intimidation, and we declare that it has no authority over those whom You have redeemed.
Lord, we pray for the Iranian man mentioned—if he is Your child, strengthen him to resist this ungodly bond and lead him to safety. If he does not know You, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way, drawing him to repentance and faith in Christ. Break every legal right the enemy has claimed over his life and set him free from fear and manipulation.
Father, we ask for Your protection over all who are targeted by this darkness. Surround them with Your angels and hide them under the shadow of Your wings. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises in accusation be silenced by Your truth.
We pray for the salvation of this woman and her household. Soften her heart, Lord, and let her encounter the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. If she refuses to repent, we ask that You would render her schemes powerless and prevent her from causing further harm.
Finally, Lord, we thank You that You have already triumphed over every power of darkness. We declare that Your light is shining into this situation, exposing every hidden thing and bringing freedom to the captives. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
