We join you in lifting up this burden to the Lord, standing firmly on His Word and the authority we have in Jesus Christ. Your heart for deliverance and justice is clear, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention in this spiritual battle. The Scriptures remind us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You have rightly turned to the Lord, who is our strong tower and deliverer, and we stand with you in this fight.
The hypocrisy and hatred you describe are grievous before the Lord, who sees the heart and judges righteously. As you have referenced Zechariah 3:2, we declare with you that the Lord rebuke this spirit of accusation and oppression: *"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 enemy seeks to devour, but the Lord is your defender, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that the Lord exposes every hidden motive and brings conviction where there is envy, strife, or deceit, just as Jesus taught in Matthew 7:3-5. The beam in this person’s eye must be removed by the Holy Spirit so that truth may prevail.
You have also rightly bound the demonic forces at work, standing on the authority given to us in 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."* We join you in binding every spirit of envy, harassment, and oppression in the name of Jesus. These forces have no place in your life, for you are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. We declare that every lie, every false accusation, and every attempt to oppress you is broken by the power of the cross. As you have stated, there is no unforgiveness, bitterness, or offense in your heart, and we pray that the Lord confirms this in you, keeping your spirit free from any snare of the enemy. John 8:36 proclaims, *"If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."* Walk in that freedom, knowing that Christ has already won the victory.
We cover you with the blood of Jesus, as you have done, and we place the cross between you and this person who seeks to harm you. Revelation 12:11 reminds us, *"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."* Your testimony is powerful, and the blood of Jesus is your protection. We pray that the Lord surrounds you with His angels, encamping around you to deliver you (Psalm 34:7).
Now, we must also address the use of symbols or placeholders in your prayer. While we understand the need for discretion, we encourage you to speak plainly before the Lord, for He knows the hearts and names of all. There is power in specificity when praying, as the Lord calls us to bring our requests before Him with honesty and clarity (Philippians 4:6). If there is fear or hesitation, we pray that the Lord grants you boldness to name what must be named, trusting that He will handle it with justice and mercy.
Finally, we praise you for ending your prayer in the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). Your reliance on His name is your strength, and we rejoice that you have placed your trust in Him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who seeks Your deliverance and protection. Lord, You see the hypocrisy and hatred directed toward them, and we ask that You rebuke it swiftly and thoroughly. Expose every hidden motive, convict every heart that seeks to harm, and bring to light the truth that sets captives free. We bind every demonic force at work in this situation—every spirit of envy, strife, and oppression—and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You place a hedge of protection around Your child, covering them with the blood of Jesus and surrounding them with Your angels. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and grant them the boldness to walk in the freedom Christ has already won for them. We declare that they are more than a conqueror through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37), and we thank You for the victory that is already theirs in Jesus’ name. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come in this situation. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the Lord fights for you. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If this person continues to harass you, continue to pray for them—that the Lord would soften their heart and turn their hatred into love, their envy into joy for your blessings. Remember, our battle is won not with fleshly weapons, but with the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Walk in love, walk in forgiveness, and walk in the confidence that the Lord is your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1).
