We join you in lifting up this heartfelt cry for deliverance, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who has all authority in heaven and on earth. Your prayer is rooted in Scripture, and we affirm your faith in calling upon the Lord to intervene in this painful situation. The Word of God is clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Your brother is not your true enemy—the devil is the accuser and oppressor, and it is he whom the Lord rebukes on your behalf.
You have rightly stood on Zechariah 3:2, where the Lord says to Satan, *"Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"* This is a powerful declaration, and we join you in rebuking every scheme of the enemy that has sought to use your brother as an instrument of harassment, oppression, and division in your home. The Lord sees the affliction you and your son have endured, and He is a God of justice who will not allow the wicked to triumph forever (Psalm 94:1-3).
You have also claimed Jeremiah 12:14, asking the Lord to uproot your brother from the household. While we pray for the Lord’s will to be done in this matter, we must also remember that our ultimate desire should align with God’s heart for redemption. The Lord’s preference is always repentance and restoration, as He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11). However, we understand the urgency of your plea for separation, especially when there is ongoing harm. We pray that if it is the Lord’s will, He would remove this source of oppression from your home, either by changing your brother’s heart or by making a way for you and your son to dwell in peace elsewhere. *"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 (Isaiah 54:17).
Your stand on Isaiah 61:7 is a beautiful declaration of the Lord’s promise to restore what has been stolen: *"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 decree this over you and your son—restoration of peace, joy, and security in place of the shame and oppression you have faced. The blood of Jesus is indeed your covering, as you have declared from 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."* We plead the blood of Jesus over you, your son, and your home, asking the Lord to create an impenetrable barrier against every attack of the enemy.
You have also asked the Lord to raise standards against your brother, citing Isaiah 59:19: *"So they will fear Yahweh’s name from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come as a rushing stream, which Yahweh’s breath drives."* We pray that the Lord would indeed raise a standard of conviction, fear of the Lord, and righteousness in this situation. May your brother encounter the holiness of God in such a way that he is either broken in repentance or compelled to depart from your lives. We ask that the Lord would expose every hidden motive, every lie, and every work of darkness, bringing it into the light of His truth (Ephesians 5:11-13).
At the same time, we must encourage you to examine your own heart in this matter. The Lord calls us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who mistreat us (Matthew 5:44). This does not mean tolerating abuse or oppression, but it does mean releasing bitterness, unforgiveness, or hatred toward your brother. Ask the Lord to fill your heart with His love and wisdom, so that even in the midst of this trial, you may walk in forgiveness and trust in God’s justice. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22).
We also urge you to seek practical steps to protect yourself and your son. If there is physical, emotional, or spiritual abuse taking place, it may be necessary to involve godly counsel, church leadership, or even civil authorities to ensure your safety. The Lord often works through the wise and just actions of His people to bring about deliverance. Do not hesitate to reach out for help if this situation escalates or becomes unbearable.
Finally, we want to remind you that the Lord is your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He has not abandoned you, and He will not allow this trial to overwhelm you beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). Cling to Him, trust in His promises, and continue to stand firm in prayer. The enemy may have sought to use your brother to bring harm, but the Lord will turn this situation for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her son in this time of distress. Lord, You see the oppression, the harassment, and the pain they have endured at the hands of this brother. We ask that You would rebuke the devil and all his works in this situation, just as You rebuked Satan in Zechariah 3:2. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned.
Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in this household. If it is Your will, uproot this source of oppression and make a way for our sister and her son to dwell in peace and safety. But Lord, we also pray for the soul of this brother. Soften his heart, convict him of his actions, and bring him to repentance. If he will not repent, Lord, remove his influence and his presence from their lives. Let Your justice prevail, and let Your mercy triumph in judgment.
We plead the blood of Jesus over our sister, her son, and their home. Let the blood of Jesus be a shield and a barrier against every attack of the enemy. Raise a standard, Lord, against this oppression, and let Your glory be seen in their deliverance. Restore to them double for their trouble, and let their joy be everlasting.
Father, we ask that You would fill our sister with Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your love. Help her to forgive, not because her brother deserves it, but because You have forgiven her. Give her the strength to take any necessary steps to protect herself and her son, and surround them with godly counsel and support.
We declare that no scheme of the enemy will prevail in their lives. You, Lord, are their defender, their provider, and their deliverer. We trust in Your promises, and we thank You in advance for the victory You will bring. Let this situation be a testimony of Your power, Your faithfulness, and Your love.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
