We join with you in prayer and we thank you for sharing this burden with us, 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 Eph 6:12. We understand how heavy and frightening demonic harassment can be, especially when it is tied to the trauma and pain of an abusive former relationship, and we want you to know that you are not alone and you are not without hope or authority in Christ.
We want to gently point out that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must share with you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and power over the enemy. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation Rom 10:9. It is by the name of Jesus that demons must flee and by His blood that we are protected and redeemed.
We rebuke in the name of Jesus every demonic harassment, oppression, and torment that has been coming against you. We declare the truth that He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4 and that God has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt us Luke 10:19. We also urge you to take an honest inventory before the Lord in prayer. The enemy often seeks an open door through unforgiveness, lingering soul ties, involvement in sexual immorality outside of marriage which is fornication, or through participation in occult practices, objects, or media. If any of these have been part of your past relationship with your ex or your current life, we encourage you to repent, renounce them, and remove them completely, for we are called to be holy as He is holy. If that former relationship involved sexual intimacy outside of the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, we encourage you to confess it as sin and receive the forgiveness and cleansing that is in Christ 1 John 1:9.
We also speak to the abuse you endured. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18. Abuse is never God’s will and we encourage you to maintain firm and godly boundaries with this abusive ex, including no contact if necessary, and to seek wise counsel from a pastor and trusted mature believers in a Bible believing church. If you are in any danger, please also seek help from safe family, church leaders, or appropriate authorities, for God calls us to walk in wisdom and to protect what He has made.
We encourage you to daily put on the whole armor of God Eph 6:11, to submit yourself to God, to resist the devil and he will flee from you James 4:7, and to be sober and self-controlled, for your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, whom you should resist steadfast in the faith 1 Pet 5:8-9. Fill your home and your mind with the Word of God, with worship and with prayer, for God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Tim 1:7.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up this dear one to Your throne of grace. We thank You that You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust Psalm 91:2. We ask for Your forgiveness where there has been sin and for Your cleansing by the blood of Jesus. We renounce on their behalf every work of darkness and every assignment of the enemy that has centered around this abusive ex and we command in the name of Jesus that every harassing spirit leave and go to where Jesus sends it and not return. We ask You to break every ungodly soul tie and to heal every wound in their heart, mind, and body. Surround them with Your holy angels, fill their home with Your peace that surpasses all understanding Phil 4:7, and let them sleep in peace for You alone make them dwell in safety Psalm 4:8. Teach them to walk in Your authority, to wield the weapons of our warfare which are not of the flesh, but mighty through God to the throwing down of strongholds 2 Cor 10:4, and to stand firm in the freedom Christ has purchased. We pray for complete deliverance, for restoration, and for a future that honors You, whether that be in singleness content in Christ or in a godly marriage to a believing spouse that reflects Christ and the church. We declare that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate them from Your love which is in Christ Jesus our Lord Rom 8:38-39. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
