We join with you in praising and thanking and glorifying our Lord Jesus, and we hear your heart for repentance and for deliverance, and we stand with you together in His name.
We affirm your desire to come into repentance for calling your mother a whore. That is the right response before God, for our words have great power and we are called to honor our parents even when the relationship is painful and difficult. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you Exodus 20:12. Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear Ephesians 4:29. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. We rejoice that you have confessed this, and we agree that as you have confessed, the Lord forgives and cleanses you, and there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1. We encourage you to continue to guard your tongue even under provocation, and to ask the Lord to help you respond with grace and truth rather than reacting in the flesh.
We also hear your deep pain about your mother's continual provocation, name calling, telling you that no one likes you, and trying to provoke a reaction to stop your progress and to place guilt and shame upon you. We rebuke that pattern of provocation and manipulation, for parents are also instructed by God not to provoke their children. Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord Ephesians 6:4 and Fathers, don't provoke your children, so that they won't be discouraged Colossians 3:21. To try to control you like a puppet, to keep you or your brother isolated and sick and sitting on a sofa, to cycle back whenever you have a breakthrough to try to stop your progress, is not of the Lord. We also rebuke any spirit of control and narcissism and witchcraft operating through her. You mentioned she practiced witchcraft for over twenty years, and whether she has stopped or not, we take this very seriously, for witchcraft is an abomination before God. There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer Deuteronomy 18:10-11. We do not wrestle 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.
We stand with you on the Scriptures you have claimed. 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 10:4-5. We agree that every stronghold and foothold trying to place guilt, condemnation and shame over you must come down in Jesus' name. And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom 2 Timothy 4:18. Most certainly we agree that whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven Matthew 18:18, and we bind off that controlling and narcissistic spirit and any transfer of spirits coming toward you, and we loose the peace and freedom of Christ over you. I will cut off sorceries out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers Micah 5:12, and we ask the Lord Jesus to cancel and cut off every residue of witchcraft and demonic manifestation that has been directed toward you and your household. So shall they 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 Isaiah 59:19, and we ask Him to lift that standard against every attack coming from your mother. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed Proverbs 16:3, and we ask Him to establish you and your steps. Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them Isaiah 61:7, and we pray for that double restoration of everything shame tried to steal from you.
We pray together now for you, for your mother and for your brother.
Lord Jesus, we praise You and thank You that You are our deliverer and our refuge. We thank You that our brother has come in humility to repent for speaking dishonorably toward his mother, and we ask You to wash him clean by Your blood and to help him walk in newness of life with a tamed tongue that speaks only what is helpful for building up. Lord, deliver him from every evil work and preserve him for Your heavenly Kingdom. Tear down every stronghold, every imagination and high thing exalted against the knowledge of God that has been built over him through years of provocation, name calling, and accusations that no one likes him. Let every cycle that returns to provoke him and stop his progress come to an end now in Jesus' name. We bind off every spirit of control, narcissism, manipulation, guilt and condemnation, and every transfer of spirits, and we declare them bound in heaven and on earth, and we loose Your peace, Your sound mind, Your love and Your self control over him. Cut off all sorcery and witchcraft that has been practiced and every demonic manifestation, cancel its power by the cross, and let it have no more authority over him or his brother. Lift up a standard against the enemy's rushing stream and establish our brother's plans as he commits his deeds to You. Restore to him double for his shame and give him everlasting joy. Help him to forgive his mother as You have forgiven him, to put away all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, with all malice, and to be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:31-32, while also giving him wisdom to set godly boundaries and to not be entangled again. We also lift his mother before You, Lord, have mercy on her, open her eyes, bring her to repentance for witchcraft and for provoking her children, and save her soul, and we lift his brother that he too would be set free from control and from sickness and isolation. Establish our brother, keep him, cause him to walk in freedom and in breakthrough that remains. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue daily in prayer and in the Word, to put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11, to submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7, and to seek wise, godly counsel from a pastor or mature believers who can walk with you in person, pray with you, and help you discern healthy boundaries while still honoring your mother from a place of strength in Christ. Keep committing your way to the Lord, and trust Him to be your vindicator and your restorer.
