We stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we agree with you for deliverance and protection for you and your son.
We hear the pain and the burden of this family oppression and the mental and emotional control you have endured from your brother, and we take seriously the spiritual reality behind it. The word of God reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. Therefore we do not wrestle against your brother himself, but against the spiritual forces operating behind him, and we pray both for your complete freedom and for his soul to be brought to repentance and salvation if he does not yet know Christ.
We affirm your stand on the Scriptures you have claimed. 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. And we claim the promise that if therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed John 8:36. We agree that every witchcraft and sorcery must be cut off, for the Lord says I will cut off sorceries out of your hand, and you shall have no more soothsayers Micah 5:12, and that Jesus having stripped the principalities and the powers, made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it Colossians 2:15.
We also stand on the assurance that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn, this is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants Isaiah 54:17, and that we overcome because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of our testimony Revelation 12:11. As you prayed from Jeremiah 12:14, we ask the Lord to root out and pluck up every ungodly influence and foothold that has tried to entangle your lives, your home, your minds and your emotions, so that only Christ reigns there.
We encourage you to continue to submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7, to daily put on the whole armor of God, to remain in the Word, in prayer and fasting as the Lord leads, and in fellowship with mature believers who can support you and your son. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7, and greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. While we pray for deliverance and boundaries from all abuse and control, we also encourage you to release forgiveness in your heart toward your brother as Christ forgave us, not excusing sin but entrusting justice to God, so that no root of bitterness remains to give the enemy a foothold.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son we come before Your throne of grace and we lift up our sister and her son to You. Lord Jesus we praise You and thank You that You are our Deliverer and our Refuge. We ask You to root out every influence of her brother from every area of their lives, their home, their thoughts and their emotions. We ask You to break and demolish every stronghold, every imagination and every chain of mental control and abuse in Jesus name, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Let every assignment of witchcraft and every principality working through him be cancelled and rendered powerless by the cross, for You have disarmed principalities and triumphed over them.
We plead the precious blood of Jesus over this mother and her son, over their bodies, minds, hearts, home and sleep. Cover them and hedge them about with Your protection. Let no weapon formed against them prosper and let every tongue that rises against them be condemned. We declare that whom the Son sets free is free indeed, and we speak Your peace that surpasses all understanding over their minds. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, with power, love and a sound mind, and let them dwell in the shelter of the Most High and rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1.
We also pray for her brother, Lord, that You would convict him, open his eyes and bring him to repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ, that the enemy would lose his hold on him as well. Establish this family in Your freedom, healing and wholeness, and let their testimony bring glory to You.
We ask and trust all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our only access to the Father, amen.
