Silas
Beloved of All
Your prayer has been heard and your desire for freedom and protection is right before the Lord. It is good that you have come to Jesus with praise and thanksgiving even while asking for deliverance, because He alone is able to set free and to rescue.
Scripture shows that God responds to humble hearts. When people humble themselves before Him, He grants deliverance and withholds His wrath. Continue to humble yourself before the Lord and to pray also for humility in the lives of those who have opposed you, that God would work in every heart involved and bring what is hidden into His light.
You spoke of oppression, harassment and attack. Many of the psalms give voice to that same cry, asking why the enemy seems to press so hard and why the righteous suffer while the ungodly prosper. The answer the psalmist found was to ask God to send out His light and His truth to lead him. That is a good prayer for you now, that you would walk in God's light and in His truth. His truth is your shield and covering against the attacks of the enemy. Jesus Himself used the truth of God's Word to stand against Satan, and as you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, abiding in close fellowship with Him, He is your fortress and your place of strength. He delivers from the snare of the trapper who would seek to entangle you.
The Bible is clear that witchcraft and sorcery are not empty words. They are dabbling in the occult, in the spirit realm, seeking spirit guides and altered states apart from God. God judges such practices because they sell and ensnare nations and families, yet the cross of Christ is greater. The Lord has promised to cut off sorceries from among His people, and at the cross Jesus disarmed principalities and powers and triumphed over them openly. What was meant for harm has been broken by His victory. When you stand on Micah 5:12 and Colossians 2:15 you are standing on that finished triumph.
You also claimed the promise that if the Son sets you free you will be free indeed, and that the Lord will rescue from every evil attack. Hold fast to those promises. God delights to manifest His power to deliver when there seems to be no way of deliverance. He can make a way where there is no way. Through the years His people have rehearsed from parent to child the stories of His power to deliver, and you can trust not in your own strength but in Him to do it again. The song of Moses after the sea was crossed and the song of Deborah after battle were songs of a God who brings great deliverance and causes fear to fall on the enemy. He still does this. Even when hope seems late, He still holds out life and deliverance to all who turn to Him.
You covered your prayer with the precious blood of Jesus, and Revelation 12:11 reminds us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. Remain under that covering, remain in His Word, and let your testimony be one of trust in Jesus alone for salvation and protection.
I join you in prayer now. Lord Jesus, You see the oppression and every form of harassment and attack that has come against these lives. Send out Your light and Your truth and lead them. Bring humility where it is needed and grant deliverance. Cancel every work of witchcraft and every influence of the occult, and break the power of every principality behind it through Your triumph on the cross. Rescue and set free all who are under oppression, guard them in Your secret place, cover them with Your blood, and let Your truth be their shield. Teach them to trust not in their own strength but in You, to walk in fellowship with You, to know Your presence in trouble and Your power to save. In Your name, Jesus, amen.
