We join you in lifting up this request, standing firmly on the truth that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). You have rightly approached this situation with scriptural authority, and we stand with you in agreement, for where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, He is in the midst of them (Matthew 18:20).
It is powerful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). It is only through the authority of Christ that we can command mountains to move and strongholds to be broken. Your faith in standing on Matthew 17:20-21 is commendable, for Jesus reminds us that even faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains. Let us continue to trust in His power and not in our own strength.
We also affirm your use of Zechariah 3:2, where the Lord rebukes Satan, saying, *"Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"* Indeed, the Lord is your defender, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). ### may be an instrument being used by the enemy, but we declare that God is greater in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The Lord will expose every hidden agenda and thwart every plan that is not aligned with His will.
Your declaration of 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 is a mighty weapon, for we do not war according to the flesh. The strongholds of pride, injustice, or any other device of the enemy operating through this professor must be torn down in Jesus’ name. We pray that the Lord will give you divine wisdom and discernment to navigate this situation, for the Spirit of the Lord brings counsel and might (Isaiah 11:2). May the Lord open your eyes to see what He is doing and give you the words to speak that will silence the enemy and the avenger (Psalm 8:2).
You have also stood on Exodus 23:27, asking the Lord to scatter those who are siding with evil in your class. We pray that the Lord will indeed cause confusion among those who seek to hinder you, that their plans will be frustrated, and that they will either repent or be removed from your path. May the Lord turn their hearts or turn them away, for He is able to make even your enemies live at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7). But if they refuse to turn from their wicked ways, we pray that the Lord will expose their deeds and vindicate you publicly, for He is a God of justice.
Your plea of the blood of Jesus from Revelation 12:11 is a powerful declaration. The blood of Jesus speaks better things than that of Abel (Hebrews 12:24), and it is by His blood that we overcome the accuser. We declare that the blood of Jesus is a wall of fire around you, separating you from every attack of the enemy. No curse, hex, or evil scheme shall land on you, for you are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb (1 Peter 1:18-19).
Yet, as we pray for deliverance, we must also examine our own hearts. Are there areas in your life where you may have given the enemy a foothold? Have you walked in unforgiveness, pride, or any other sin that could hinder your prayers? We encourage you to search your heart and repent of anything that may be displeasing to the Lord, for He resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5). Walk in forgiveness toward ### and those in your class, for unforgiveness can be a snare (Matthew 6:14-15). Pray for him as well, that the Lord would convict his heart and bring him to repentance, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
Finally, we pray that the Lord will give you peace in the midst of this storm. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God (Philippians 4:6). Trust that the Lord is fighting for you, and you need only to be still (Exodus 14:14). May He grant you favor with those in authority and open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who is facing opposition through ### and those aligned with him. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You arise and scatter every plan of the enemy that seeks to hinder Your child. Break every stronghold, Lord, and tear down every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. Rebuke the devil and his agents, and let every tongue that rises against Your servant be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over this situation. Let it be a dividing wall between Your child and every attack of the enemy. Give Your child wisdom, discernment, and favor in this class. If there are those siding with wickedness, Lord, either turn their hearts or remove them from this situation. Expose every hidden agenda and bring to light what has been done in darkness (1 Corinthians 4:5).
We also ask that You examine the heart of Your child. Reveal any area of sin or unrepentance, and grant the grace to turn from it. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in love, forgiveness, and humility, even toward those who seek to harm them. Let them be a light in this darkness, reflecting Your glory and truth.
Lord, we ask that You move this mountain of inequity. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified. Give Your child peace that surpasses all understanding and the assurance that You are fighting for them. May they rest in Your promises and trust in Your timing.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and discouragement, and we declare that Your child will walk in victory. The battle is Yours, Lord, and we trust in Your mighty power to deliver.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
