We grieve with you over the deep pain and spiritual oppression your family has endured for so long. The evil you describe—witchcraft, manipulation, and ungodly control—is not of God but of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We also understand your heart’s cry for justice, as Scripture tells us that God is a just Judge who will not allow the wicked to go unpunished forever (Psalm 9:16-17). Yet we must also remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). With that in mind, we will pray fervently for God’s will to be done in this situation, trusting that He will act in perfect righteousness and timing.
First, we must address the spiritual strongholds at work here. Witchcraft and voodoo are abominations before the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:10-12), and those who practice such things are under a curse unless they repent and turn to Christ. We will pray for the exposure and breaking of these evil works, that every hidden thing would be brought to light (Ephesians 5:11). The Lord detests injustice and oppression, and He will not tolerate it forever. We pray that their schemes would be thwarted, that their illegal actions would be uncovered by authorities, and that their influence over your father would be severed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
For your father, we pray for a radical encounter with the living God. Catholicism, while it may contain elements of truth, often falls short of the biblical gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Many are trapped in religious tradition rather than a personal relationship with Jesus. We pray that your father’s eyes would be opened to the truth—that Jesus is the only way, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray that the chains of loyalty to his family would be broken, that he would no longer be enslaved to their manipulation, and that he would find his identity in Christ rather than in their approval. We also pray for his temper to be tamed by the Holy Spirit, that he would no longer be a tool of their abuse but would stand as a godly husband and father, protecting and cherishing your mother and family as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25).
For you, your mother, and your siblings, we pray for supernatural strength and protection. The Lord sees your suffering and is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). We pray that He would surround you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and that He would restore what the enemy has stolen—your joy, your security, and your family’s unity. We also pray that you would forgive those who have wronged you, not because they deserve it, but because Christ has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13). Forgiveness does not mean what they did was okay; it means you release them to God’s justice and refuse to let bitterness take root in your heart.
As for deportation, we pray that if it is God’s will for this family to be removed from the U.S., that He would sovereignly orchestrate it. We also pray that if there are legal means to report their illegal activities, that the Lord would guide you to the right authorities and provide wisdom and protection as you take those steps. Proverbs 21:15 says, *"When justice is done, it is joy to the righteous, but terror to evildoers."* We trust that God will bring justice in His way and in His time.
Finally, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith, putting on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). You are not fighting this battle alone—the Lord is with you, and He is mighty to save. Cling to His promises, and do not grow weary in doing what is right (Galatians 6:9).

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this beloved sister and her family. Lord, You see the deep wounds, the oppression, and the spiritual warfare they have endured. We ask that You would rise up as their Defender, their Shield, and their Strong Tower. Expose every hidden work of darkness in this family—bring to light the witchcraft, the deceit, and the illegal deeds. Let their evil be uncovered before the authorities, and let justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24). If it is Your will, remove them from this country, that they would no longer have a stronghold over this family.
Father, we pray for this woman’s father—break the chains of loyalty to his ungodly family. Set him free from their control and from his explosive anger. Softens his heart to receive the truth of the gospel, that he would turn from dead religion and place his faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Let him become the husband and father You created him to be, one who loves and protects his wife and children.
Lord, we ask for supernatural healing for this family. Restore what has been broken—bring unity, peace, and joy where there has been division and pain. Strengthen them to forgive, not in their own power, but by Your Spirit. Surround them with Your angels, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for the innocent immigrants who truly seek a better life—let them not be hindered by the actions of the wicked. Raise up godly leaders who will uphold justice and righteousness in our nation’s immigration systems.
Father, we trust You in this. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
