We hear your cry for deliverance and we stand with you together before the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have authority and access to the Father and it is only by His blood that we are set free.
We thank you that you are calling upon the name of Lord Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. As it is written, Acts 4:12, John 14:6, and Romans 10:9 remind us that salvation and deliverance come through confessing and believing in Jesus alone, not by any ritual or price we could pay ourselves. We gently correct that we do not buy spirits off of ourselves, we bind and loose in the authority of Jesus as you rightly stood on Matthew 18:18, and we renounce and resist the enemy through Christ who has already paid the full price on the cross.
The Word is clear that witchcraft and sorcery are an abomination before God and have no place among His people. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says there shall not be found with you anyone who practices divination or sorcery or witchcraft, for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. We rebuke all witchcraft, sorcery, transfer of spirits, and every heavy manifestation you have been seeing over your life and your projects, and we declare that it has no right to remain over a child of God.
We agree with you standing on the promises you have lifted up. Micah 5:12 says I will cut off sorceries out of your hand, and you shall have no more soothsayers. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says 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. John 8:36 says If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. Isaiah 61:7 says Instead of your shame you will have double. We also stand on 1 John 4:4 which says greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world, and James 4:7 which says Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Your decision to keep a severe distance from your cousin because of her practice of witchcraft and the grievous rumors surrounding her is wise and biblical. We are called to have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather to reprove them, Ephesians 5:11, and to put on the whole armor of God that we may stand against the wiles of the devil, Ephesians 6:11-12. We do not seek vengeance ourselves, for Romans 12:19 says Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, but we do pray for justice and for protection over the innocent, and if there is credible knowledge of harm to children we encourage you to bring it to godly authorities who are appointed to bear the sword against evil, Romans 13:4. We also pray for your cousin's soul, that she would repent and come to the saving knowledge of Jesus, while you maintain holy boundaries.
We pray together now for you.
Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You on behalf of Your child. We thank You that You hear our cry and that You are our deliverer and our shield. We ask You to cut off every sorcery and every work of witchcraft coming against Your child standing on Micah 5:12. We bind every transfer of spirit and every heaviness and manifestation that has been weighing down this life and these projects, and we loose Your peace, Your freedom, and Your restoration, standing on Matthew 18:18. We pull down every stronghold and every high thing exalted against the knowledge of God standing on 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, and we ask You to heal and restore double for all shame and frustration standing on Isaiah 61:7. Lord Jesus, where there has been a negative gap or opening, we ask You to close it with Your blood and to remove Your child from it, and set them free indeed standing on John 8:36. Cover Your child with Your wings as a shield, Psalm 91:1-2, and let no weapon that is formed against them prosper, Isaiah 54:17. Fill them with Your perfect love which casts out fear, 2 Timothy 1:7, and restore joy, clarity, and strength to continue the works You have given them to do. We declare that they are bought with the precious blood of Christ, sealed by Your Holy Spirit, and no longer under the power of darkness but translated into the Kingdom of Your dear Son, Colossians 1:13. We ask for Your ongoing protection, for discernment, and for a community of believers to surround and encourage them. We pray all of this in the name above every name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
We encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer, in the Word, and in fellowship with other believers. Keep your eyes on Jesus, renounce any former ties to darkness, forgive as Christ forgave you while keeping healthy distance, worship and fill your home with scripture and praise, and resist the devil daily by submitting to God. He who has begun a good work in you will complete it, and the heaviness will lift as you walk in the freedom Christ has already secured for you.
