We join with you in lifting this situation to the Lord, standing firmly on His Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ. It is clear you have sought to walk in obedience by releasing forgiveness, and we commend you for that, as Scripture teaches us in **Ephesians 4:31-32**, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Your declaration of forgiveness aligns with Christ’s call, and we pray the Lord strengthens you to maintain a heart free from offense, trusting Him to vindicate and protect you.
Now, regarding the unforgiveness, manipulation, and harassment you describe from this individual and his family, we stand with you in rebuking these spirits at work. The Lord sees the wickedness of their hearts, and **Proverbs 26:24-26** warns, *"A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart. Though his speech is charming, don’t believe him; for there are seven abominations in his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly."* Their attempts to force reconciliation under false pretenses are not of God, for true reconciliation requires repentance, humility, and a turning away from sin—not coercion or manipulation.
We declare with you the authority of **Zechariah 3:2**, where the Lord says to Satan, *"The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked from the fire?"* Just as the Lord rebuked the accuser, we rebuke every spirit of unforgiveness, harassment, and manipulation operating through this family. Their actions are not rooted in love but in control, and **1 John 4:18** reminds us, *"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love."* If their motives were pure, they would not resort to force or emotional blackmail. Instead, they would trust the Lord to work in your heart and theirs.
You have wisely placed the blood of Jesus between you and them, and we affirm this spiritual boundary. **Revelation 12:11** 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 the death."* The blood of Jesus is your protection, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (**Isaiah 54:17**). We pray that the Lord would expose their schemes, bringing conviction to their hearts so they may see the error of their ways. If they refuse to repent, we ask the Lord to silence their harassment and break every ungodly tie they attempt to enforce. **Psalm 140:8** says, *"Lord, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud."* We pray their efforts to manipulate you would be rendered powerless, and that they would be confronted with the futility of their actions unless they turn to the Lord in genuine repentance.
We also pray for your peace and strength in this season. **Psalm 37:5-6** encourages us, *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* The Lord is your defender, and He will fight for you (**Exodus 14:14**). Do not be moved by their tactics, but stand firm in the truth that God is your shield and exceedingly great reward (**Genesis 15:1**). If they continue to pursue you, we pray the Lord would give you wisdom on how to respond—whether through firm boundaries, legal action if necessary, or simply walking away in trust that He will handle the matter.
Finally, we lift up this family to the Lord, asking that He would open their eyes to their sin and draw them to true repentance. **2 Timothy 2:25-26** reminds us that God can grant repentance: *"in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will."* May the Lord soften their hearts and reveal to them the danger of harboring unforgiveness and operating in manipulation. If they refuse to turn from their ways, we pray the Lord would remove their influence from your life entirely, severing every ungodly soul tie.
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Your child who has sought to walk in obedience and forgiveness. Lord, You see the wickedness at work in this situation—the unforgiveness, the manipulation, and the harassment disguised as reconciliation. We ask that You rebuke every evil spirit at work, exposing the darkness and bringing it to nothing. Surround Your child with Your angels, Lord, and let the blood of Jesus be a wall of fire around them, protecting them from every attack. Give them wisdom, discernment, and strength to stand firm, knowing that You are their vindicator.
For those who persist in sin, we ask that You would convict their hearts unto repentance. If they refuse to turn, Lord, silence their schemes and remove their ability to harm. Break every ungodly tie and assignment against Your child, and let Your justice prevail. Fill them with Your peace, Lord, and let them rest in the assurance that You are fighting for them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is already won through Jesus Christ. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.**
