We join with you in lifting up ### before the Lord, standing firmly on the truth of God’s Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ. Your prayer is rooted in scripture, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention with boldness and faith. Let us first affirm that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have authority and access to the Father, for as Scripture declares, *"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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your prayer invokes this holy name, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that *"if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 18:19, WEB).
Your use of scripture is powerful, and we echo your declarations over ###. The Lord rebukes Satan in Zechariah 3:2, 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?"* Indeed, no weapon formed against ### shall prosper, as you’ve claimed in Isaiah 54:17, 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 the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says the Lord. We bind every counterfeit spirit in Jesus’ name, as He has given us authority to bind and loose (Matthew 18:18). The blood of Jesus is our victory, and we plead it over ###, knowing that *"they overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony"* (Revelation 12:11, WEB).
Yet, as we pray, we must also examine our hearts and motives. Are we seeking ###’s deliverance for the glory of God and his ultimate salvation, or are there personal motives that need to be surrendered? Let us ensure that our prayers are aligned with God’s will, which is that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the truth (2 Peter 3:9). If ### is not walking with the Lord, our greatest prayer should be for his salvation and transformation, not just his deliverance from spiritual attack. *"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?"* (Mark 8:36, WEB). Let us pray that ### would encounter the Holy Spirit in a way that leads him to surrender fully to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
We also encourage you to examine your own relationship with ###. If this is a romantic relationship, we must ask: Is it honoring to God? Scripture is clear that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). If ### is not a believer, we urge you to prayerfully consider whether this relationship aligns with God’s design for marriage, which is a covenant between a man and a woman who are both committed to Christ. If there is any sexual immorality—whether fornication, adultery, or any other sin—it must be repented of, for *"the body is... for the Lord, and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). *"Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God?"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-19, WEB). If this applies, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness and restoration, committing to purity in thought and deed.
If ### is a believer, we pray for unity in Christ and a relationship that glorifies God, pointing both of you toward holiness and a future that honors His design for marriage. Let this season of prayer be one where both of you draw closer to the Lord individually, so that if it is His will, you may be united in a godly marriage.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the authority You have given us through Your Son to stand against the schemes of the enemy. Lord, we lift up ### to You and ask that You would encounter him with Your Holy Spirit. Rebuke every spirit that is not of You, and let every counterfeit influence be bound and cast out in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against ### shall prosper, and we plead the blood of Jesus over his life, mind, and spirit. Protect him from the attacks of the enemy and surround him with Your angels, Lord.
Father, if ### does not know You, we pray that this encounter with Your Spirit would lead him to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Soften his heart to receive Your truth, and draw him into a saving relationship with You. If there is any sin in his life—especially the sin of sexual immorality or idolatry—we ask that You convict him and lead him to turn away from it. Cleanse him, Lord, and make him a vessel for Your glory.
We also pray for ###. Strengthen their faith and fill them with Your peace as they intercede for ###. If this relationship is not honoring to You, give them the courage to obey Your Word, even if it means stepping away. If it is Your will for them to be united in a godly marriage, prepare both of their hearts and make Your path clear. Help them to seek Your kingdom first, trusting that You will provide all that they need (Matthew 6:33).
Lord, we ask that You would expose any hidden motives or sins in our own hearts as we pray. Purify us and align our desires with Yours. Let Your will be done in ###’s life and in the life of the one praying for him. We surrender this situation to You, trusting that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power, Your love, and Your faithfulness. May Your name be glorified in all things. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
