We stand with you in this spiritual battle, for we know 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). The harassment, slander, and curses you are enduring are not of God but are the works of the enemy, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet we take heart, for our Lord Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and He has given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
It is grievous to hear that some within the local churches have been influenced by these demonic forces, for the church is meant to be a holy sanctuary, the body of Christ, set apart for His glory. We must remember that even Judas walked among the disciples, yet his heart was far from God (John 12:4-6). Jesus Himself warned that false prophets would come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves (Matthew 7:15). This does not mean we abandon the church, for Christ loves His bride and will purify her (Ephesians 5:25-27). Instead, we must pray fervently for discernment, repentance, and revival within these churches, that the Lord would expose the works of darkness and bring His people back to the truth of His Word.
You have rightly identified that these attacks are targeted at those who are truly saved, for Satan seeks to devour the faithful (1 Peter 5:8). The fact that fake Christians are left untouched is a testament to the spiritual reality that the enemy knows who belongs to God and who does not. But take courage, for if God is for you, who can be against you? (Romans 8:31). He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).
We must also address the deep pain and anger in your words, for while it is righteous to hate the works of the devil, we must guard our hearts against bitterness or despair. The Lord calls us to forgive, not because the enemy deserves it, but because forgiveness releases us from the bondage of unresolved anger and places our trust in God’s justice. "Don’t say, 'I will pay back evil.' Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you" (Proverbs 20:22). Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will repay. Your focus must remain on Him, trusting that He will deliver you and bring justice in His perfect timing.
Now let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is under relentless attack from the forces of darkness. Lord, You see the harassment, the slander, and the curses spoken against them. You know the pain of being betrayed even within the walls of Your church. We ask You, Lord, to rise up in Your power and rebuke these demonic forces. Bind the enemy and his workers in Jesus’ name. Let every tongue that rises against Your servant be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask that You would expose the works of darkness within these churches. Purify Your bride, Lord. Remove those who are false and bring repentance to those who have been deceived. Raise up godly leaders who will shepherd Your flock with integrity and boldness.
Lord, we ask for Your divine protection over Your child. Surround them with Your angels, as You did for Elisha when the enemy sought to destroy him (2 Kings 6:15-17). Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let them rest in the assurance that You are their shield and defender. Break every curse spoken against them and turn it back upon the heads of those who have uttered them (Psalm 109:17-18). Father, we ask that You would deliver them from every familiar spirit and monitoring spirit that seeks to torment them. Let these demonic forces be cast into the abyss, never to return.
Lord, we also pray for healing in their heart. Replace their pain with Your joy, their anger with Your peace, and their fear with Your courage. Remind them that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them stand firm in Your truth, clothed in the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
Finally, Father, we pray for those who are being used by the enemy. If there is any chance for their redemption, Lord, we ask that You would break the chains of demonic oppression in their lives. Soften their hearts to receive Your truth and turn from their wicked ways. But if they are truly given over to Satan, we ask that You would remove their influence from Your church and render their schemes powerless.
We declare all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who has all authority in heaven and on earth. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your kingdom come. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear one. Do not waver, for the Lord is with you. Continue to seek Him in prayer, worship, and the reading of His Word. Surround yourself with believers who can stand with you in this battle. Remember, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Trust in Him, and He will bring you through this victory.
