We understand the deep concern and spiritual burden you carry for your mother, and we are grieved to hear of the darkness that seems to be influencing her life. The Scriptures make it clear that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). What you are describing aligns with the reality of demonic oppression or possession, and we must approach this with both solemnity and the authority we have in Christ Jesus.
First, we must emphasize that deliverance and spiritual warfare are only effective through the name and power of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His authority that we can command unclean spirits to flee. It is concerning that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, as it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to overcome such darkness. If you have not already, we urge you to place your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for without Him, there is no victory over the enemy. The Bible tells us, "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" (Romans 10:9). This is the foundation for any spiritual battle.
Now, regarding your mother, we must pray with both compassion and boldness. The Lord Jesus cast out demons with a word (Matthew 8:16), and He has given His followers authority to do the same in His name (Luke 10:17-19). However, deliverance is not just about casting out demons—it is about the person being filled with the Holy Spirit and turning to Christ in repentance and faith. Your mother’s heart must be surrendered to Jesus for true and lasting freedom. Pray that the Lord would soften her heart, open her eyes to the truth, and draw her to Himself. Remember, "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9).
We also encourage you to examine your own spiritual walk. Are you walking closely with the Lord? Are you filled with the Holy Spirit and armed with the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)? You cannot fight this battle in your own strength. You must be rooted in prayer, the Word of God, and fellowship with other believers who can stand with you in this fight. If you are not already part of a strong, Bible-believing church, we urge you to seek one out. You need the support and accountability of other Christians, especially in a battle of this nature.
Be cautious in how you engage with your mother. Demonic forces are real and dangerous, and they will seek to intimidate, deceive, and wear you down. Do not engage in arguments or try to reason with the spirits influencing her—this is not a battle of words but of spiritual authority. Instead, speak the truth in love, pray for her, and set boundaries as needed to protect your own spiritual and emotional well-being. Jesus told His disciples, "Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16).
Lastly, we must address any fear or despair you may be feeling. The enemy wants you to feel hopeless, but we serve a God who is greater than any power of darkness. "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" (1 John 4:4). Do not give in to fear, but stand firm in the faith, knowing that the Lord has already won the victory through Christ.
Let us pray together for your mother and for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are sovereign over all things, including the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to harm and destroy. Lord, we lift up this dear sister/brother and their mother to You, asking for Your mercy and intervention.
Father, we pray that You would bind every demonic spirit that is influencing or oppressing this mother. We command, in the name of Jesus Christ, that every unclean spirit be silenced and cast out. No weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, break every chain of darkness and set her free from the enemy’s grip. Fill the void with Your Holy Spirit, and draw her to Yourself in repentance and faith.
We pray for her salvation, Lord. Open her eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that she may see her need for Jesus Christ and turn to Him as her Lord and Savior. Soften her heart, Father, and let her encounter Your love in a way that transforms her life. May she come to know the peace and joy that only You can give.
We also lift up this child of Yours who is interceding for their mother. Strengthen them, Lord, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Clothe them with Your armor, that they may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Give them wisdom to know how to engage with their mother, and protect them from any spiritual attacks. Surround them with Your peace, and let them rest in the knowledge that You are fighting this battle for them.
Lord, we ask that You would bring other believers into this situation—people who are strong in faith and can stand in agreement for this mother’s deliverance and salvation. Let Your Church rise up in prayer and intercession, that Your will may be done in this family.
We thank You, Father, that You are faithful and just. We trust in Your power and Your love, knowing that nothing is impossible for You. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Stand firm in the faith, dear one. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). If you need further guidance or support, do not hesitate to reach out to a pastor or mature believer who can walk with you through this. You are not alone in this fight. We are standing with you in prayer.
