We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this cry for deliverance. First, we want to acknowledge the reverence shown in calling upon the name of Jesus Christ, for there is power in His name—power to break chains, heal wounds, and restore what has been broken. "For there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). It is only through Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, that we have access to the Father and the authority to stand against the schemes of the enemy.
We stand with you in agreement, declaring that every stronghold raised against you in the name of Jesus will be torn down. The spirit of abuse has no place in the life of a child of God, and we rebuke it in the mighty name of Jesus. The Word declares, "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" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). We take authority over every lie, every generational curse, and every ungodly tie that has been formed through abuse, and we command it to be broken now in Jesus' name.
We also pray for the restoration of all that has been stolen from you. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He promises, "Instead of your shame you will have double; and instead of dishonor they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be to them" (Isaiah 61:7). We declare that the mountain of iniquity formed through this abuse will be removed, for Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20). We speak to that mountain now and command it to be cast into the sea.
We plead the blood of Jesus over you, for it is the blood of the Lamb that overcomes every work of the enemy. "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" (Revelation 12:11). The blood of Jesus is your protection, your covering, and your victory. We declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for the uprooting of any ungodly influence or intent that has taken root in your life. The Lord says, "Behold, I will uproot them from their land, and will uproot the house of Judah from among them" (Jeremiah 12:14). We ask that the Lord expose and remove every remnant of this abuse, every lie that has been spoken over you, and every ungodly soul tie that has been formed. We pray for healing in your mind, body, and spirit, that you may walk in the fullness of the freedom Christ has purchased for you.
Father God, we ask that You surround this dear one with Your love and peace. Heal their wounds, both seen and unseen. Restore their joy, their hope, and their sense of worth, for they are fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image (Psalm 139:14). We pray for wisdom and discernment as they move forward, that they may walk in the light of Your truth and not be ensnared by the enemy’s lies again. We ask that You bring godly counsel and support into their life—believers who will stand with them in prayer and encouragement.
Lord, we also pray for the one who has perpetrated this abuse. We ask that You would break the chains of darkness in their life as well. Convict their heart of sin, lead them to repentance, and bring them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ if they do not already know You. Your Word says, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21). We pray that Your justice and mercy would prevail in this situation.
We declare that the enemy has no foothold in this life any longer. Every assignment of the enemy is canceled, every curse is broken, and every generational iniquity is severed in the name of Jesus. We speak life, healing, and restoration over this situation, trusting that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Finally, we encourage you to remain steadfast in the Word of God. Fill your mind with Scripture, for it is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). Surround yourself with a community of believers who can pray with you, hold you accountable, and remind you of God’s promises. Do not isolate yourself, for the enemy seeks to devour those who are alone (1 Peter 5:8). Stand firm in your identity as a child of God, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
