Deliverance Prayer

[Anonymous]

Lord Jesus, I praise you, and thank you. I glorify you. Lord Jesus I ask that you humble my brothers attitudes towards me, and dismantle any strongholds placed over me by his bitterness, standing on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. Lord Jesus I ask that you lead my brother to you, and remove all the uncomfortableness that he places over us because he doesn’t know how to move on to his own life, if it’s fear Lord I ask that you work with him, and heal his health so that he can find a wife and move on. In Jesus name I pray and ask. Amen.

We come before the throne of grace with your request, lifting up your brother and the strained relationship between you. First, we want to affirm your reliance on the name of Jesus, it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that strongholds are broken. "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 WEB). You are standing on solid ground by claiming this Scripture.

We also recognize the weight of bitterness and its ability to poison relationships. The Word warns us, "Looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it" (Hebrews 12:15 WEB). Your brother’s bitterness is not only affecting him but also creating discomfort in your relationship. We rebuke this spirit of bitterness in Jesus’ name and command it to loose its grip on him. We declare that his heart will be softened, and his eyes will be opened to the freedom that comes from forgiving and moving forward in Christ.

We pray for your brother’s healing, both spiritually and physically. If fear is holding him back from stepping into the life God has for him, we ask the Lord to replace that fear with faith. "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7 WEB). We also lift up his desire for a wife, praying that God would prepare him for the godly spouse He has ordained for him. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and we pray that your brother would seek a wife who loves the Lord and shares his faith. "He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord" (Proverbs 18:22 WEB). We ask that God would lead him to a woman who will walk with him in righteousness and that he would be equally prepared to be a godly husband.

Father, we ask that You break every chain of stagnation in his life. If there is unforgiveness, pride, or any other hindrance, we command it to be removed in Jesus’ name. We pray that he would experience the fullness of Your love and the freedom that comes from surrendering his life to You. Soften his heart, Lord, and let him see the beauty of Your plans for him. We declare that he will no longer be bound by the past but will step boldly into the future You have prepared.

We also pray for you, dear one. It is not easy to love someone who is struggling with bitterness or fear, but your heart for reconciliation and healing is a testament to your faith. We ask that God would strengthen you and give you wisdom as you navigate this relationship. May you continue to walk in love, patience, and grace, trusting that God is working even when you cannot see it. "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" (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB).

Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the power of Your Word. We trust that You are moving in this situation, breaking strongholds, and bringing healing. We declare that Your peace will reign in this family, and that Your will be done in both of their lives. May Your name be glorified in all things. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We can hear how much you long for peace between you and your brother, not just for your own relief, but for his well-being too. When a sibling carries bitterness, it can feel like a heavy fog that fills every room you share, and your prayer for God to humble him and dismantle those strongholds is a cry from a heart that wants healing for both of you.

We’re reminded that bitterness often does far more damage to the one holding it than to anyone else, but you’re right to ask God to work in your brother’s attitudes. One thing we’ve seen is that while we pray for someone else’s transformation, God often uses that time to quietly check our own hearts as well. Living close to resentment can be contagious, so it may help to ask God to guard you from absorbing any of that poison and to keep your own spirit tender toward your brother. Joseph’s story shows us that forgiving someone who has hurt us doesn’t let them off the hook, it simply releases us from the prison of ongoing hurt and frees us to trust God with outcomes we can’t control. That’s not a quick fix, but it’s a steady ground to stand on.

May God give you patience and calm confidence while you wait, and may he gently draw your brother past whatever fears or pains have him stuck. Here’s a simple prayer:

Lord Jesus, we lift up this sibling relationship. Please humble this man tenderly, not to shame him, but to unhook him from bitterness and lead him toward your healing. Dismantle any strongholds of resentment or fear, and restore his health so he can step into the full life you want for him, including a loving, godly marriage. Protect our friend’s own heart from offense, and fill this family with your wisdom and peace. In your name we ask, amen.

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The prayer you have offered carries with it a weight of distress, and it is right that you have brought it to the throne of grace, for the Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. Yet let us take care that we do not, in seeking deliverance from another’s bitterness, allow a root of bitterness to spring up within ourselves. Take heed, the bitterness of which Zechariah speaks, the mourning for Him whom we have pierced, has this blessed effect: it takes away all bitterness against our fellow men. Before you plead for the humbling of your brother’s attitude, ensure that your own spirit is bowed low before the cross, lest you be found asking the Lord to remove a speck from his eye while a beam remains in your own.

The strongholds you name are not merely walls of circumstance; they are proud imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. It is not you who must dismantle them by the fleshly wrestling of words or wills. Fear may well drive a man, but the flight of fear must end in the refuge of faith. Your brother’s discomfort, his inability to move forward, his fear, these are not the disease itself but the symptoms of a deeper malady. That mortal malady within him, that dread fear which settles like a vampire upon the soul, can only be cured by the great Physician. Therefore, let your prayer ascend not chiefly that his health be healed so that he may find a wife and be gone, but rather that he may find the healing leaves which are for the healing of the nations, even the wounded side of Jesus Christ.

Has He not given you peace, even Jehovah-Shalom? Then let that peace rule in your heart as you stand in this conflict. The ungodly man often knows not why he rages, but his soul is weary with the exceedingly bitter fruit of his sin. Your deliverance, and his deliverance too, must come when the Lamb is slain. It came for you when you looked to Jesus upon the cross. Pray, then, not merely for an end to the uncomfortableness, but that the Sun of Righteousness would rise upon him with healing in His wings. If the Lord should be pleased to take away his guilt, He will have dried up the well of bitterness at its source. Until then, your own safety lies in running into your strong tower; the name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous runs into it and is safe. Do not stand outside parleying with the archers of bitterness, but abide in Christ, and leave him in the hands of Him who has found a ransom.

Forget not that deliverance from the guilt of sin and deliverance from the power of sin are alike the work of God alone. You cannot lead your brother to Christ by the leash of your anxieties, but the Spirit of God can draw him with cords of love. If the Lord has delivered you from the power of darkness, He will certainly help you in this daily trouble. He who gave His own dear Son to put away your sin, will He not give you the needed grace to walk through this valley of domestic conflict? Fear not, therefore, that the sons of Anak will never be driven out. Commit your brother to God, and if you must speak at all, let it be to tell out the song of your own deliverance, that perhaps he might hear, and his heart be made to envy your peace. The Lord has a way of making His people willing in the day of His power to come forth from their cruel captivity. Lay hold upon this hope; and if the clock of mercy has not yet struck the hour of his deliverance, wait upon the Lord in the silence of a faith that knows He is above the molestation of mankind.

[Chrysostom]

You ask the Lord to dismantle strongholds placed over you by your brother's bitterness, and you pray that his discomfort be removed so he may find a wife and move on. I hear your plea, yet consider the fuller picture: the stronghold of bitterness is not simply a thing hovering over you, but a root growing from a heart not right with God. If it is bitterness, the fruit is bitter through and through, and no gentle prayer will sweeten it unless the root itself is cut off.

You stand on the Apostle's words about pulling down strongholds. Good, but do not forget that your own deliverance is not merely a matter of someone else's sin being lifted. For what if you are freed from his harshness, yet remain soft and unmanly in other parts of virtue? It is not enough to be delivered from one trouble; we must cultivate careful hearing of the word, continual recollection, fortitude, and contempt of all worldly things. No single part suffices for our salvation.

Beware, then, that in your eagerness for his change you do not neglect your own heart. The root of bitterness is a defilement that, if allowed to spring up, troubles many. Even now, you might ask: Is there any root of resentment in you that his behavior has watered? If you let it grow, it will pollute you as well. The Apostle bids us look diligently, lest any such root spring up and cause trouble. Therefore, search your own soul carefully, as a physician examines a wound, and cut off every shoot of bitterness within you before it bears fruit.

As for your brother, you ask that the Lord humble his attitudes, remove his fear, heal his health, and smooth his way to marriage. These are good things, yet consider: the gall of bitterness lies not in his circumstances, but in his heart. The thought of his heart may not be right before God; his discomfort is perhaps itself a mercy, a prodding toward repentance. Should we ask God to remove the very medicine that might awaken him? If he does not know how to move on, the root is a spiritual sickness, not a lack of a wife. To pray only for his earthly comfort is to treat the fever while ignoring the infection.

He needs more than deliverance from awkwardness; he needs deliverance from the slavery of his own passions. Christ set us free with true freedom, not a release from every discomfort, but a freedom that makes a man honorable even in chains, wealthy in poverty, and at peace in strife. That freedom comes only when the heart is made right before God through repentance. Pray, then, that he may come to see his bitterness as sin, that the thought of his heart may be forgiven him. Pray that the Lord grant him godly sorrow, not just relief from loneliness. For if he marries while still in the gall of bitterness, what sweetness can his household taste? The root will poison all.

And you, do not despair at his slowness or the trials you endure. Did not persecution scatter the teachers and increase the discipleship? God often plants his strongholds in the heart of the enemy's country. Your brother's hostility may be the very field where God will work a miracle. Hold fast, then, in patient love. Rebuke sin with freedom, not out of resentment but as a proof of loving concern, suppressing nothing that might heal him. Let your own life be a witness of the true freedom Christ gives, freedom from fear, from resentment, from the need to control another's path. Stand fast, for Another has paid the ransom. Do not run back under the yoke of anxiety, as though your deliverance depended on this man's moods.

Go now, and pray with this mind: not only that the strongholds be pulled down, but that the ground of your own soul be cleansed of every bitter root; not only that his path be smoothed, but that his wickedness be repented of and forgiven; not only that he move on, but that he run toward the One who wounds that He may heal. In all things, commend yourself to the Lord, who is able to bring from the hardest ground a harvest of righteousness.
