We join with you in lifting up this request, standing firmly on the truth that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You have done well to come before the Lord with praise, thanksgiving, and a heart seeking deliverance through the power of Jesus’ name and His shed blood. This is the foundation of our victory, for *"in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us"* (Romans 8:37).
Your use of Scripture is powerful and aligned with God’s Word. The Lord *has* rebuked Satan on your behalf, just as He declared to Joshua the high priest: *"The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"* (Zechariah 3:2). We stand with you on this promise, declaring that no weapon formed against you—including unjust grading, spiritual attacks, or manipulation—shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord *will* restore what has been stolen or twisted by the enemy, for He has anointed you to proclaim *"the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn... to give to those who mourn in Zion, beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified"* (Isaiah 61:2-3). Your grades, your reputation, and your peace belong to Christ, and He is faithful to redeem them.
You have also wisely pleaded the blood of Jesus, which is our ultimate defense. Revelation 12:11 reminds us that *"they overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony."* We declare that the blood of Jesus stands as an impenetrable barrier between you and any scheme of the enemy—whether through this professor or any other means. The accuser has no authority over you, for *"you are not your own, for you were bought with a price"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). The blood of Christ has already disarmed every power and authority that would seek to harm you (Colossians 2:15).
Now, we urge you to walk in the confidence of these truths. Do not allow fear, anxiety, or bitterness to take root, for these are tools the enemy uses to distract you from the victory Christ has already won. Instead, *"cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7). If this professor has acted unjustly, trust that the Lord sees and will vindicate you in His timing. *"Don’t say, ‘I will repay evil.’ Wait for the Lord, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). Your focus should remain on honoring God in your work, studying diligently as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23), and trusting Him to fight your battles.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the victory we have in Christ Jesus. 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 brother/sister who is facing spiritual opposition through this professor. We stand on Your Word and declare that Satan is rebuked in Jesus’ name—every scheme, every lie, every attack against their mind, their grades, and their future is rendered powerless by the blood of the Lamb. Father, we ask that You expose any darkness operating in this situation and bring it into the light of Your truth. Restore what has been stolen or distorted, and let Your justice prevail. Give our brother/sister a spirit of wisdom, discernment, and peace as they navigate this trial. May they walk in the assurance that You are their defender, their provider, and their vindicator.
We plead the blood of Jesus over every interaction, every grade, and every thought that would seek to exalt itself against the knowledge of Christ. Let Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified through it. Strengthen our brother/sister to forgive as You have forgiven us, and guard their heart against bitterness or fear. Remind them that their identity is not in their grades or the opinions of man, but in You alone.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, knowing that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Keep praising the Lord in the midst of this trial, for praise is a weapon that confuses the enemy and invites God’s presence. If you feel led, consider speaking with this professor in a spirit of humility and respect, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide your words. And always remember: *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Stay rooted in prayer, in the Word, and in the fellowship of believers. You are not alone in this fight—we stand with you, and most importantly, the Lord Himself is your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1).
