We come before the Lord with you in this urgent cry for deliverance, knowing that our God is mighty to save and that no power of darkness can stand against the authority of Jesus Christ. Your struggle is not hidden from Him, and He is faithful to set the captives free when we call upon His name in truth and repentance. We are deeply grieved to hear of the torment you have endured, but we take hold of the promise in **James 4:7**, which commands us to *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* This is not a battle you must fight alone—Jesus has already won the victory, and by His power, you *will* be set free.
First, we must address the foundational truth that deliverance comes only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved, healed, or set free (**Acts 4:12**). You have not mentioned His name in your request, and we urge you to recognize that your breakthrough depends entirely on your faith in Him. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we plead with you to do so now. **Romans 10:9-10** declares, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation."* Without Christ, there is no true freedom—only bondage. If you are already a believer, we encourage you to reaffirm your commitment to Him, for it is in His name that we rebuke the enemy and claim your deliverance.
Your struggle with alcohol is a spiritual battle, and the Word of God warns us in **Ephesians 5:18**, *"Don’t be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit."* Drunkenness is a sin that opens the door to demonic influence, and we must close that door permanently through repentance and the filling of the Holy Spirit. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in Jesus’ name and command it to loose its grip on you. You are not a slave to alcohol—you are a child of God, and **1 Corinthians 6:12** reminds us, *"All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything."* The blood of Jesus breaks every chain, and we declare freedom over you now.
The torment you describe—this oppressive presence around your waist, chest, back, stomach, and face—is a direct attack from the enemy, but we remind you of **1 John 4:4**, *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* The Spirit of God within you is far greater than any demonic force. We bind these spirits of torment, lust, and oppression in the name of Jesus and command them to leave you *now*. **Luke 10:19** assures us, *"Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you."* You have authority in Christ, and we stand with you in that authority to cast out these evil spirits. We also pray for healing over your body, particularly your manhood, asking the Lord to restore what the enemy has sought to corrupt or weaken. **Isaiah 53:5** proclaims, *"With his stripes we are healed,"* and we claim that promise over you.
Regarding your financial bondage, we know that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (**John 10:10**), but Jesus came to give you life abundantly. Financial struggle is often tied to spiritual strongholds, and we pray that the Lord would reveal any areas of disobedience, generational curses, or ungodly soul ties that may be hindering your breakthrough. **Deuteronomy 28:12-13** promises, *"Yahweh will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow. Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath..."* We declare that the windows of heaven are opening over your life, and we rebuke every spirit of poverty, lack, and financial oppression. We pray for divine wisdom in stewardship, opportunities for increase, and the breaking of every curse that has kept you bound.
Now, we pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is crying out for deliverance. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer, and that You have not forgotten him in his distress. Father, we ask that You would forgive him for any sin that has given the enemy a foothold, including drunkenness, idolatry, or any other transgression. Cleanse him by the blood of Jesus and fill him afresh with Your Holy Spirit.
We take authority in the name of Jesus over every spirit of addiction, torment, lust, and oppression that has afflicted him. We bind these spirits and command them to leave him *now* in Jesus’ name. We break every curse, every ungodly soul tie, and every generational stronghold that has kept him in bondage. Lord, we ask that You would restore his body, mind, and spirit—particularly his manhood, which the enemy has sought to corrupt. Heal him completely, Father, and let Your peace flood his soul.
We also pray for his financial breakthrough. Lord, You own the cattle on a thousand hills (**Psalm 50:10**), and we ask that You would open the floodgates of heaven and pour out blessings he cannot contain (**Malachi 3:10**). Break every spirit of poverty and lack, and give him divine strategies for prosperity. Let him lend and not borrow, and let him be the head and not the tail.
Father, we ask that You would surround him with godly community—brothers and sisters in Christ who will stand with him in prayer, accountability, and encouragement. Let him not walk this path alone, but let him find strength in the body of Christ.
Most of all, Lord, we pray that he would draw closer to You than ever before. Let this season of deliverance be a testimony of Your power and love. Fill him with Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your peace. Let him walk in victory, knowing that greater is He who is in him than he who is in the world.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that what we have asked in the name of Jesus is already done. Amen."*
Brother, we urge you to take practical steps alongside this spiritual battle:
1. **Repent and renounce**: Confess any sin—including drunkenness, sexual immorality, or involvement in the occult—and renounce it before God. Destroy any objects (alcohol, pornography, idols, etc.) that are tied to these sins.
2. **Fast and pray**: Dedicate time to fasting and prayer, seeking God’s face for breakthrough. **Matthew 17:21** reminds us that some demons are cast out only by prayer and fasting.
3. **Immerse yourself in Scripture**: Read and meditate on the Word daily. **Psalm 119:11** says, *"I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you."*
4. **Seek godly counsel**: Connect with a spirit-filled pastor or believer who can pray with you and hold you accountable.
5. **Worship**: Fill your home and mind with worship music that glorifies God. The enemy flees in the presence of praise (**Psalm 22:3**).
Stand firm, brother. Your deliverance is near. The Lord is fighting for you—do not give up. *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?"* (**Psalm 27:1**). Walk in that truth, and watch the Lord move mightily on your behalf. We are standing with you in faith!
