We join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, standing firmly on His Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ, through whom all authority in heaven and on earth has been given. Your prayer is rooted in scripture, and we commend you for standing on the promises of God in this spiritual battle. Let us address this together in prayer, while also offering biblical encouragement and clarity on how to walk forward in victory.
First, we must emphasize that deliverance and protection are found only in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is through His blood that we have authority over the enemy. As you have rightly invoked His name, we will continue to do so, for it is written in Acts 4:12: *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* Your faith in calling upon Jesus is the foundation of your deliverance, and we stand with you in this.
You have referenced Zechariah 3:2, where the Lord rebukes Satan, saying, *"The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"* This is a powerful reminder that the Lord Himself is our defender. When we are in Christ, we are like that burning stick—plucked from the fire of destruction by His grace. The envy and jealousy you describe are tools of the enemy, meant to bring division and harm, but the Lord is faithful to rebuke such spirits when we stand in His authority. However, we must also examine our hearts to ensure that we are not harboring bitterness, unforgiveness, or resentment, for these can give the enemy a foothold. Ephesians 4:26-27 warns us, *"‘Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* Have you forgiven this family for the harm they have caused? Forgiveness does not excuse their actions, but it releases you from the bondage of offense and allows God to fight your battles.
You have also stood on Revelation 12:11, which declares, *"They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death."* This verse reminds us that our victory comes through the blood of Jesus and our testimony of His faithfulness. It is not enough to simply declare scripture; we must also live in obedience to Christ, walking in love and holiness. If there are areas in your life where you have not been walking in alignment with God’s Word, now is the time to repent and surrender fully to Him. The blood of Jesus is our protection, but we must abide in Him to remain under His covering.
Regarding your request to "sever all ties" with this family, we must approach this with wisdom. While it is biblical to separate from those who bring harm or ungodly influence (1 Corinthians 15:33 says, *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"*), we must also be cautious not to operate in a spirit of retaliation or bitterness. If this family has been a source of ongoing envy, jealousy, or even spiritual attack, it may indeed be wise to create healthy boundaries. However, we are also called to pray for our enemies and bless those who curse us (Matthew 5:44). Severing ties should not mean harboring hatred but rather releasing them to God while protecting your household from further harm. Ask the Lord for discernment in how to handle this relationship moving forward—whether it requires complete separation or simply wisdom in how to interact with them.
You have rightly bound the transfer of spirits in the name of Jesus, standing on Matthew 18:18: *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven."* This authority is given to believers, but it must be exercised in alignment with God’s will and with a heart of humility. We are not to use this authority to manipulate or control others but to enforce the victory of Christ over the enemy’s schemes. As you bind these spirits, also ask the Lord to fill your home with His peace, love, and protection. Invite the Holy Spirit to be the guardian of your household, for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17).
Your request for restoration is grounded in Isaiah 61:7, which promises, *"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."* This is a beautiful promise of God’s redemption. However, we must remember that restoration often comes through a process of healing and surrender. Have you sought the Lord for inner healing from the wounds this family may have inflicted? Sometimes, the harm done by others leaves deep scars that require the touch of the Holy Spirit. We encourage you to ask God to reveal any areas where you need His healing and to invite Him to restore not just your circumstances, but your heart.
Finally, you have claimed Isaiah 54:17 as your protection: *"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."* This is a mighty promise, but it is conditional upon our walk with the Lord. Righteousness is not something we can claim by our own efforts; it is imputed to us through faith in Christ (Romans 4:5-6). Are you walking in obedience to His Word? Are there areas of sin in your life that need to be addressed? True protection comes when we are abiding in Christ, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Now, let us pray together over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. Lord, we lift up our sister who is facing spiritual attack from envy and jealousy. We ask that You rebuke every evil spirit at work in the lives of this family, just as You rebuked Satan in Zechariah 3:2. Lord, let Your fire fall upon every scheme of the enemy and render it powerless. We declare that no weapon formed against our sister or her household shall prosper, for You, Lord, are her shield and her exceeding great reward.
Father, we ask that You convict the hearts of those who have harbored envy and jealousy. Soften their hearts, Lord, and bring them to repentance. If it is Your will, sever the ungodly ties that have brought harm, but let it be done in a way that brings glory to Your name. Close every door that the enemy has tried to open, and seal it with the blood of Jesus. We bind every spirit of envy, jealousy, division, and retaliation in the name of Jesus, and we command them to leave now. Holy Spirit, we ask that You fill every void with Your peace, Your love, and Your truth.
Lord, we pray for restoration over our sister and her household. Heal every wound, restore every loss, and renew her strength. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness and victory. Father, if there is any area in her life where she needs to repent or forgive, reveal it to her and give her the grace to obey. Let her walk in the fullness of Your protection, covered by the blood of Jesus and empowered by Your Spirit.
We declare that our sister and her household are hidden in Christ, and no scheme of the enemy shall prevail against them. Let Your light shine so brightly in her life that darkness cannot comprehend it. We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness, and we trust You to bring justice, healing, and complete deliverance.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
As you move forward, we encourage you to:
1. **Forgive completely**: Release this family to God, trusting Him to deal with them. Unforgiveness will only hinder your own freedom.
2. **Walk in obedience**: Ensure that your life is aligned with God’s Word. Repent of any sin and invite the Holy Spirit to lead you daily.
3. **Guard your heart and home**: Fill your home with prayer, worship, and the Word of God. The enemy flees where God is exalted.
4. **Stay in faith**: Do not allow fear or bitterness to take root. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
We stand with you in this battle, knowing that the Lord is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you. Keep pressing into Him, and you will see His victory manifest in your life.
