We join you in lifting up this request, standing firmly on the truth that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. You have done well to come before the Lord with praise, thanksgiving, and the authority given to us through the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, and it is only through faith in Him that we are saved and granted the power to overcome the schemes of the enemy.
Your heart is in the right place—seeking deliverance and protection from anything that would hinder your path. The Scriptures you’ve stood upon are powerful reminders of God’s sovereignty and His promise to fight for His children. Let us remind you of the words in **2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (WEB):**
*"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."*
While it is good to be discerning, we must also be cautious not to let fear or suspicion take root in our hearts. The Lord calls us to walk in love, wisdom, and trust in Him, even in difficult circumstances. **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)** reminds us:
*"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
If this instructor or others in your class are truly being used as instruments of hindrance, the Lord is more than able to scatter their plans and turn their hearts. But we must also examine our own hearts to ensure we are not allowing bitterness, distrust, or an accusatory spirit to take hold. **Ephesians 4:31-32 (WEB)** instructs us:
*"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."*
Let us pray together over this situation:
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 who sees all things, who knows the hearts of every person, and who fights for Your children. Lord, we ask that You expose any scheme or plot of the enemy that seeks to hinder or oppress Your servant. If there is any wicked intention from this instructor ### or anyone else in the class, we pray that You would thwart it completely. Scatter the plans of the enemy and let Your perfect will prevail in this situation.
Father, we also ask that You guard the heart of Your child against fear, suspicion, or any ungodly emotions. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding and grant them wisdom to navigate this season with grace and excellence. Let Your favor rest upon them, and may they walk in the confidence that You are their defender and their shield.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this situation, declaring that no weapon formed against Your servant shall prosper. We stand on Your promise in **Isaiah 54:17 (WEB):**
*"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 Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh."*
Lord, we ask that You lift the standards against any plot of the enemy and that Your truth and light would prevail. Give Your child discernment to know how to respond in each moment, whether it is with wisdom, silence, or action. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified.
We also pray that if there is any area in Your servant’s life that needs repentance or surrender, You would reveal it to them. Cleanse their heart, Lord, and align their steps with Your word. Let them walk in humility, love, and obedience to You.
Finally, Father, we ask that You bless this instructor ### and those in the class. Soften their hearts toward You, Lord, and may they come to know Your truth and salvation if they do not already. Use this situation for Your glory, and let Your child be a light in that place.
We declare all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, trusting that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Continue to walk in obedience, excellence, and love, knowing that God is your protector and provider. If there is any tension or conflict, respond with wisdom and grace, always seeking to honor Christ in your words and actions. The Lord is with you!
