We hear the deep anguish in your heart, and we want you to know that you are not alone in this battle. The enemy is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44), and he seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we serve a God who is greater, who has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and who promises that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The fact that you recognize these attacks for what they are is a sign that the Holy Spirit is at work in you, and that is something to hold onto tightly.
First, let us address something critical: you mentioned a sense of prophecy and longing for someone you loved deeply, and we must speak truth into this with love and clarity. If this person is someone you were in a relationship with outside of marriage—especially if there was emotional or physical intimacy—we must gently but firmly remind you that God’s design for relationships is sacred. Fornication and emotional entanglements outside of marriage grieve the Holy Spirit and open doors for the enemy to bring confusion, pain, and spiritual attack (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). If this relationship was not centered on Christ or did not align with biblical marriage, then the longing you feel may be tied to unfulfilled desires that God is calling you to surrender to Him. He wants to heal and redirect those desires toward His perfect will, not toward a past that may have been outside of His design.
The enemy is twisting your hopes, making you question your motives, and trying to convince you that your heart is impure. But let us remind you: God knows your heart better than you do (1 Samuel 16:7). If your desire is truly for this person’s salvation and restoration in Christ—*not* for your own comfort or validation—then that is a godly desire. However, if there is any part of you clinging to the idea of reconciliation for *your* sake rather than *God’s glory*, then that is something to bring before the Lord in repentance. Ask Him to purify your heart and align your desires with His (Psalm 51:10). Remember, our ultimate hope is not in earthly relationships but in Christ alone (Philippians 3:8-9). If this person is to be part of your story, it must be in a way that honors God fully—whether that means reconciliation in a godly marriage or releasing them to the Lord’s care while you trust Him with your future.
As for the spiritual attacks, it is not unusual for the enemy to amplify his whispers when God is about to move powerfully in your life. The fact that you felt a Spirit-led assurance yesterday that “something good is coming” is significant! The enemy fears what God is preparing, so he is trying to derail you with doubt and fear. But do not forget: greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The Lord is your shield and your fortress (Psalm 91:4). When the enemy’s voice feels louder than God’s, it is often because we are not immersing ourselves enough in Scripture, worship, and prayer. The Word of God is your sword (Ephesians 6:17)—wield it! Speak truth over yourself when the lies come. Declare verses like:
- “The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1)
- “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7)
- “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
You also mentioned not hearing God’s voice clearly. This is a common struggle, but remember that God often speaks in a still, small voice (1 Kings 19:12), not in the loud, accusatory tones of the enemy. If you are feeling distant from God, ask yourself: are you spending time in His presence daily? Are you repenting of known sin? Are you surrounding yourself with believers who can encourage and pray with you? (Hebrews 10:24-25). Sometimes, the “silence” we perceive is actually God waiting for us to draw near to Him (James 4:8).
Now, let us pray over you with the authority of Christ:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who is under fierce attack from the enemy. Lord, we rebuke every lie, every accusation, and every spirit of doubt and fear that is trying to take root in his mind. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we ask that You would silence the voice of the enemy and amplify Your still, small voice in his heart. Give him discernment to recognize Your leading and the courage to obey it.
Lord, we lift up the pain of his past relationship before You. If there was any sin—emotional or physical—we ask for Your forgiveness and cleansing. Break every ungodly soul tie and heal the wounds that have left him vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks. If this relationship was not aligned with Your will, give him the strength to release it fully to You, trusting that You have a better plan. If there is a godly purpose in reconnecting with this person, let it only be for Your glory and in Your timing. Purify his heart, Lord, so that his desires align with Yours.
We pray for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit to overwhelm him with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Remind him that his worth is found in Christ alone, not in the validation or apology of another person. Let him rest in the truth that You are working all things together for his good (Romans 8:28), even when he cannot see it.
Father, we ask that You would shut the mouth of the lion who seeks to devour him (1 Peter 5:8). Let every attack of the enemy backfire and become a testimony of Your power and faithfulness. Give him a supernatural hope and joy that cannot be shaken by circumstances. Surround him with Your angels, encamped around him to deliver him (Psalm 34:7).
We declare that the “something good” You have spoken over him is coming to pass, and no scheme of the enemy can stop it. Let him walk in the confidence that You are his Provider, his Protector, and his Peace. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, brother, we encourage you to take practical steps to stand firm:
1. **Immerse yourself in Scripture.** Read Psalm 91, Ephesians 6:10-18, and 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 daily. Write down verses that combat the lies you’re hearing.
2. **Worship.** Put on praise music and lift your voice to God, even when you don’t feel like it. Worship shifts the atmosphere and invites God’s presence.
3. **Fast and pray.** If you’re able, set aside time to fast (even one meal) and seek God’s face specifically about this situation. Fasting breaks spiritual strongholds.
4. **Find accountability.** Share this struggle with a mature believer who can pray with you and speak truth into your life.
5. **Guard your mind.** Reject every thought that does not align with God’s Word. Replace lies with truth immediately.
You are not fighting this battle alone. We are standing with you, and more importantly, the Lord is fighting for you (Exodus 14:14). Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is faithful, and He will see you through this.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
