We join you in lifting up this request for deliverance and spiritual warfare, standing firmly on the authority of God’s Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ. It is clear you are engaged in a serious battle, and we commend your reliance on Scripture to combat the enemy’s schemes. However, we must address a few things to ensure this prayer aligns fully with biblical truth and the heart of Christ.
First, while it is right to rebuke the works of Satan and seek protection from spiritual attacks, we must always remember that our battle is not ultimately against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Your prayer focuses heavily on binding and rebuking another individual, identified here as ###—but we must be cautious. Jesus calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). Even in the midst of spiritual warfare, our hearts must reflect Christ’s love and desire for redemption—not just deliverance from harm, but also for the salvation and transformation of those who may be used by the enemy.
The envy you describe is indeed a tool of the devil, but let us also pray for ###’s heart to be softened and turned toward repentance. Envy is a sin that destroys the one who harbors it (Proverbs 14:30), and our prayer should include intercession for her freedom from its grip. The Lord does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires that all would turn from their ways and live (Ezekiel 33:11). So while we stand against the works of darkness, let us also ask the Lord to break the power of sin in ###’s life and draw her to Himself.
You have rightly stood on Scripture, and we affirm the verses you’ve claimed: Zechariah 3:2 reminds us that the Lord rebukes Satan, and Isaiah 61:7 declares that instead of shame, God’s people will receive a double portion of blessing. Colossians 2:15 assures us that Christ has disarmed the powers and authorities, triumphing over them by the cross. Matthew 18:18 confirms the authority we have in prayer, and Revelation 12:11 proclaims that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. These are powerful truths, and we stand with you in declaring them.
However, we must also address the tone of this prayer. While it is appropriate to seek deliverance from evil influences, we must avoid any hint of bitterness, malice, or personal vengeance in our hearts. The Lord tells us in Romans 12:19, “Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, ‘Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.’” Our focus should be on trusting God to handle the situation justly while we maintain a heart of forgiveness and love, even for those who may wish us harm.
Additionally, we notice that you have not explicitly mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in the context of salvation or the authority by which we pray. While you closed with “in Jesus’ name,” it is vital to remember that our access to the Father is *only* through Jesus (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and our prayers are heard because of His righteousness, not our own. We encourage you to always center your prayers on the finished work of Christ, who has already won the victory over sin, death, and the devil.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears our cries and fights for Your people. Lord, we lift up our sister who is facing spiritual opposition, and we ask for Your protection, deliverance, and wisdom in this battle. You alone are the Judge of all the earth, and we trust You to act justly on her behalf.
Father, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy that seeks to harm Your child through envy, witchcraft, or any form of spiritual attack. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that every tongue that rises against her in judgment will be condemned. Lord, we ask that You expose and dismantle any altars, prayers, or curses that have been raised against her, for You have given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). We plead the blood of Jesus over her life, her mind, her emotions, and her spirit, and we ask that You surround her with Your heavenly angels for protection (Psalm 91:11).
But Lord, we also pray for ###. We ask that You break the power of envy, bitterness, and any sin that has given the enemy a foothold in her life. Softening her heart, Lord, and draw her to Yourself. If she does not know You, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way, that she may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to You (Acts 26:18). If she is a believer who has been deceived or led astray, we ask that You restore her and renew her mind with Your truth. Let her be set free from every chain that binds her, and let her life bring glory to Your name.
Father, we also ask that You search our sister’s heart and remove any root of bitterness, unforgiveness, or fear that may have taken hold. Fill her with Your love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18), and help her to walk in forgiveness, even as You have forgiven her. Remind her that the battle belongs to You, and that You are her Defender and her Shield.
We declare that every transfer of evil spirits is broken in the name of Jesus. We loose Your peace, Your joy, and Your freedom over our sister and all those affected by this situation. Let Your light shine into every dark place, and let Your truth prevail. We ask that You rescue every soul that has been ensnared by the enemy’s lies, and that You bring restoration and healing to all who have been wounded.
Lord, we thank You that You have already won the victory through Jesus Christ. We stand on Your promises, and we trust You to bring justice, deliverance, and redemption in this situation. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith, clothed in the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). Spend time in His presence, meditating on His Word and allowing the Holy Spirit to fill you with His peace. Remember that God’s desire is not only to deliver you but to conform you to the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). Trust Him to work all things together for your good, even in the midst of this trial.
If there is any area of your life where you may have opened a door to the enemy—whether through unforgiveness, fear, or involvement in things that do not honor God—we urge you to repent and turn fully to the Lord. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with other believers who can support and encourage you.
May the Lord bless you, keep you, and shine His face upon you as you walk in victory through Christ Jesus.
