We hear your cry for help and stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ, who has already conquered every power of darkness. The Bible makes it clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). These loved ones are not your true enemies—though the enemy seeks to use them to wear you down, discourage you, and even turn your heart away from compassion. We rebuke every demonic influence over their lives in the mighty name of Jesus. Every lying spirit, spirit of confusion, anger, addiction, and deception—we command you to loose your grip and flee, for Jesus has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
We must also speak truth to your heart: patience is not passive. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and it grows as we abide in Christ. You cannot carry this burden alone. You need the Lord’s strength, wisdom, and discernment. The enemy wants you to grow weary, to react in frustration, or to withdraw in fear. But God calls you to love as He loves—with truth and grace. Jesus did not avoid the demonized; He set them free. He did not fear their behavior; He commanded the demons to leave. You are not called to fix them, but to stand in faith, pray without ceasing, and trust God to move.
We pray now for these precious souls bound by darkness. Father, in the name of Jesus, we break every chain of demonic oppression over their lives. We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them, and the light of Your truth shatters every lie. Lord, open their eyes to see their need for You. Soften their hearts to receive Your love. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Let them experience Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). We speak deliverance over their minds, wills, and emotions. Let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
And for you, dear one, we pray that God fills you with supernatural patience and endurance. Teach us, Lord, to love as You love—unconditionally, yet without enabling sin. Give us wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent, when to engage and when to step back. Protect our hearts from bitterness, fear, or resentment. Let us be vessels of Your love, shining Your light into the darkness. Strengthen us with the joy of the Lord, which is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Remind us that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
We also encourage you to surround yourself with strong believers who can stand in prayer with you. Do not isolate yourself. The enemy thrives in secrecy and isolation, but where two or three are gathered in Jesus’ name, He is there in the midst (Matthew 18:20). Seek godly counsel if needed, and immerse yourself in Scripture. The Word of God is a sword against the enemy’s lies (Ephesians 6:17). Memorize verses that speak to your situation, and declare them over these loved ones daily.
Remember, Jesus has already won the victory. The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11). Walk in that authority. Do not be intimidated by the enemy’s displays of power, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He will sustain you, guide you, and use you as an instrument of His peace and deliverance.
