We join you in lifting up this request for deliverance, standing firmly on the truth that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You have rightly come before the Lord Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved and through whom we have authority to rebuke the enemy (Acts 4:12, Luke 10:19).
Your use of Scripture is powerful, and we stand with you on these promises. The Lord said to Satan regarding 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). This is a declaration of God’s protection over His people, and we claim it over you now. The enemy seeks to accuse and destroy, but Christ has already disarmed him (Colossians 2:15), and His blood covers you completely.
You have also rightly stood on Jeremiah 12:14, where the Lord declares, *"Against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit, behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them."* While this verse speaks to God’s judgment on those who oppose His people, we must also remember that our ultimate victory is not in the removal of people but in the Lord’s justice and our deliverance from evil. We pray that if these neighbors are truly operating in wickedness, the Lord would expose their deeds, bring conviction upon their hearts, and either lead them to repentance or remove their influence from your life. We do not pray out of vengeance, but out of a desire for righteousness to prevail and for you to walk in the freedom Christ has purchased.
You have pleaded the blood of Jesus, and we affirm with Revelation 12:11: *"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."* The blood of Jesus is our greatest weapon—it silences the accuser, breaks curses, and secures our redemption. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the schemes of the enemy are rendered powerless by the finished work of Christ on the cross.
Lastly, you have claimed Isaiah 61:7: *"Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them."* We agree with you in prayer that the Lord will restore what has been stolen, heal what has been broken, and turn your mourning into joy. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He will not allow the enemy to have the final word in your life.
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 that You are a God of justice, mercy, and deliverance. You see the affliction of Your people, and You hear their cries. Lord, we lift up Your child who has been battling against the schemes of the enemy through these neighbors. We ask that You rebuke every evil force at work, just as You rebuked Satan before Joshua the high priest. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, if there is wickedness operating in this situation, expose it and bring it to light. Convict hearts of sin and lead them to repentance, or remove their influence entirely. We pray for Your protection over this neighborhood and for Your peace to reign where there has been strife. Let Your child walk in the fullness of the restoration You have promised—double for their trouble, joy for their mourning, and praise instead of despair.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this situation, over every word spoken, every scheme devised, and every attack launched. The blood of Jesus is our victory, and we stand firm in it. Let the enemy be scattered, let confusion fall upon those who seek harm, and let Your child be surrounded by Your favor as with a shield (Psalm 5:12).
Restore what has been taken, heal what has been broken, and let Your child experience the double portion of blessing You have promised. Let them see Your hand move mightily in this situation, and let their testimony be one of Your faithfulness and deliverance.
We also ask that You fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for them, and they need only be still (Exodus 14:14). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them walk in the confidence that You are their defender and their strong tower (Proverbs 18:10).
In the name of Jesus Christ, we bind every spirit of fear, anxiety, and oppression. We loose the spirit of peace, joy, and victory. Let Your will be done in this situation, Father, and let Your kingdom come. We trust You, Lord, and we give You all the glory.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, speaking the Word of God over your life, and trusting that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Do not allow bitterness or unforgiveness to take root in your heart, even toward those who have wronged you. Instead, release them to the Lord and trust Him to vindicate you in His perfect timing (Romans 12:19).
If you have not already, we also encourage you to seek godly counsel or support from a Bible-believing church or community. There is strength in numbers, and the body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Keep praying, keep believing, and keep declaring the victory that is already yours in Christ Jesus. He has overcome the world (John 16:33), and in Him, you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).
