We join with you in prayer in Jesus' name and we thank you for bringing this burden before the Lord. We understand that after you interceded for your second cousin you felt a heaviness, bitterness and what felt like an envious spirit coming upon you, and you are seeking complete deliverance and protection. We stand with you for freedom, for the lifting of every oppression and for the peace of Christ to guard your heart and mind.

The Scripture 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. Yet we have confidence because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4, and If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed, John 8:36. 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 also want to gently encourage you to guard your own heart against bitterness and envy, for those can give a foothold to the enemy if they are allowed to remain. The Word warns us to look carefully lest there be any root of bitterness springing up and causing trouble, Hebrews 12:15, and to let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you, Ephesians 4:31-32. Even when we discern envy or heaviness coming from another person, we are called to bless and not curse, and to forgive as we have been forgiven, while still asking God for protection and truth to be revealed.

We do not know if witchcraft or intentional harm is involved, and we must be careful not to accuse without clear knowledge, but we know the Lord is our defense against any spiritual attack, real or perceived. We submit ourselves to God and resist the devil and he will flee from us, James 4:7, and we overcome him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of our testimony, Revelation 12:11.

We pray together for you now.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We praise You and thank You that You are our deliverer and our shield. We ask that You lift off of our dear one every heaviness, bitterness and oppression that settled after praying for their cousin. Wash them in the blood of Jesus and place that blood between them and their cousin and between them and any spiritual attack. Let no foothold or stronghold remain, and let every imagination and high thing that exalts itself against Your knowledge be torn down in Jesus' name. We ask that if there is any influence of envy, witchcraft or spiritual warfare directed toward them, You would break its power completely and send it away, for No weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isaiah 54:17.

Lord, heal, restore and establish them according to Your mercy. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed, Proverbs 16:3, so we commit their projects and all the work of their hands to You, asking for Your favor and protection from every envious eye and every scheme of the enemy. Give them faith to speak to the mountains in their life, for Jesus said 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. Bring down every mountain that has formed through this relational strain.

We also lift up their second cousin to You. We ask that You humble her and bring her to conviction and repentance if there is envy, bitterness or sin in her heart, that she may see the error of her way and turn to You. We pray You would bless her, draw her to Yourself, and let Your truth shine in her life. Help our dear one to walk in forgiveness, love and discernment, casting all their anxiety on You because You care for them, 1 Peter 5:7, and putting on the whole armor of God that they may stand firm.

We declare freedom over them now by the name of Jesus Christ, believing that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Fill them with Your peace, joy and strength, and let Your Holy Spirit reign in their heart and home. We ask all of this in the saving and powerful name of Jesus, amen.

We hear how heavy and unsettled you felt after praying for your cousin, and how much you want to be free from that bitterness and lingering sense that something envious is pressing on you. We are standing with you in prayer for the Lord's peace and clarity over you.

It is understandable to feel worn down after interceding for family, especially when the relationship itself feels difficult. A helpful perspective we have learned is to keep our eyes less on what might be coming from another person and more on Christ Himself as our deliverer. He is the one who sets us free, and that freedom is something we walk into with Him over time as we stay close to Him, not only in a single intense moment. It also helps not to carry this alone.

You might consider inviting a pastor or one or two mature believers you trust to pray with you in person, to hear what you have been experiencing and to seek the Lord together for wisdom and protection. Continuing in steady time in the Word, honest prayer, and fellowship with other believers often brings light to any bitterness that needs to be released and keeps our hearts guarded.

Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus name. We ask You to lift this heaviness, wash away bitterness, and fill this heart with Your peace. Guard and establish this life in Your care, keep this one close to You, and work in both family members according to Your will and mercy. Give wisdom for each project and step ahead. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your cry for deliverance has been brought before the Lord, and it is good that you have turned to Him who alone can save from the Pit. The Scripture says, Then He is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the Pit, I have found a ransom. Job 33:24. Nobody would have thought of that way of deliverance from the pit of hell through a ransom if God had not thought of it, and He has not only invented the way but has found the ransom in His own Son. The prisoner ready to be executed finds undeserved deliverance because the King's own Son has borne the penalty of all his iniquities.

Know this, that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and it is not by any easy work or by a hasty word that a soul is loosed from spiritual bondage. It is by divine power. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. Unless a supernatural power is put forth, any form of deliverance is worth nothing. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed, John 8:36, and that freedom is through the blood of the Lamb by which we overcome, Revelation 12:11.

You have felt heaviness and bitterness and an envious spirit, and you have laid the cause at the feet of another. Hear the word of the Lord concerning affliction. Troubles do not spring out of the dust, neither does affliction grow up from the ground, but the Lord Himself kindles the fiery furnace and sits as a Refiner at the door. Our afflictions may come distinctly from man as the result of malice, and yet they may come with even greater certainty from the Lord and may be the necessary outcome of His special love to us. For this reason we may wisely moderate our anger against second causes. That which we receive from the rod of the Lord bears the blessed aspect of chastening from a father's hand, and this makes even the sharpest smart to be profitable.

Therefore look first to your own heart before the Lord. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, 2 Corinthians 10:4, and those strongholds are often within, the bitterness, the envy, the heaviness that would take root in us. He has taught us the mischief that comes from loving the world and the things thereof, and He must deliver us from the fascinating power of sin, from the power of darkness. Cry to Him to cleanse you from all bitterness and to keep you from the snare of an envious spirit, for where envying and strife is, there is confusion.

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, Nahum 1:7. Generous rulers provided strongholds for their people where they might be sheltered from marauders, but the righteous man finds in his God all that the wealthy man finds in his substance and a vast deal more. Though war break forth, though the trumpet sound and robbers approach, His name is a strong tower. There you may feast in defiance of every foe, snatched from the jaw of the lion and from the paw of the bear.

So let us pray for you now.

O gracious Lord, who has found a ransom and commanded deliverance from going down to the Pit, be gracious unto this soul. Wash away every sin by the blood of Jesus Christ Thy Son, and deliver also from the power of darkness. Pull down every stronghold and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Keep back this soul from the Pit and this life from perishing. If there be any heaviness, bitterness or envy, root it out by Thy Spirit, and give a clean heart and a right spirit within. Put the precious blood of Christ between this soul and every evil influence, for by that blood we overcome.

Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established, Proverbs 16:3, and we ask Thee to establish this one in Thy will and to give favor in every lawful project undertaken for Thy glory. Let no weapon that is formed against Thy child prosper, Isaiah 54:17, for Thou art his stronghold. If it be faith as a grain of mustard seed that can move mountains, Matthew 17:20, increase faith to remove every mountain of fear and oppression.

And for the cousin of whom complaint is made, we ask not for her harm but for her good, that Thou wouldst humble her and bring her to see the error of her way, to complete conviction and repentance through the same ransom which alone can save. Save both from sin and from self, that after affliction and after deliverance, each may say, I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord, Psalm 118:17.

We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Ransom and our Stronghold, Amen.
