We hear your distress and the intensity of your emotions, and we want to approach this with both truth and compassion. First, let us affirm that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). However, the way we engage in this battle must align with Scripture and the character of Christ.
You mention binding Satan and his "crew," but we must remember that our authority in Christ is not to command or rebuke Satan directly in this manner. Jesus has already disarmed principalities and powers through His death and resurrection (Colossians 2:15). Our role is to resist the devil by submitting to God, standing firm in faith, and putting on the full armor of God (James 4:7, Ephesians 6:10-18). We do not have the power to "bind" Satan ourselves—only Christ holds that authority.
Your frustration with animals, particularly dogs, seems to stem from a belief that they are being used against you in some spiritual or negative way. The Bible does not support the idea that animals are vessels for demonic activity or that they can be used to "steal" your joy or peace. Animals are part of God’s creation, and while they can be influenced by the fallen world, they are not inherently evil or tools of the enemy. "God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good" (Genesis 1:25). We must be careful not to attribute to Satan what is simply part of God’s creation or the natural behavior of animals.
Your anger toward neighbors and others who you feel are intruding on your life is understandable, but we must guard our hearts against bitterness and unforgiveness. Jesus teaches us to love our neighbors and even our enemies (Matthew 22:39, Matthew 5:44). Harboring resentment or wishing harm on others—even in prayer—is not aligned with God’s will. Instead, we are called to pray for those who persecute us and to trust God to be our defender. "Do not repay evil for evil or insult for insult; but on the contrary, bless, because to this you were called, that you may inherit a blessing" (1 Peter 3:9).
You also express a desire to move forward in your life, particularly in selling items online and improving your circumstances. This is a good and godly goal, but we must ensure that our focus remains on Christ and His provision. "Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in him, and he will do this" (Psalm 37:5). We encourage you to seek God’s guidance in your plans and to trust Him to open doors for you, rather than relying solely on your own efforts or demanding that obstacles be removed.
Most importantly, we must address the foundation of our faith. You mention "the blood of Jesus" and "God’s will," but we want to gently remind you that salvation and access to God come only through faith in Jesus Christ. "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'" (John 14:6). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus alone for your salvation, repenting of sin and surrendering your life to Him. This is the only way to have true peace and victory over the spiritual battles you are facing.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear one to You, asking for Your peace to fill their heart and mind. Lord, we know that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but You came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We ask that You break any lies or strongholds that have taken root in their mind, particularly the belief that animals or neighbors are being used against them. Replace these lies with Your truth, Lord.
Father, we pray for healing in their emotions and relationships. Soften their heart toward those they feel have wronged them, and help them to release any bitterness or unforgiveness. Teach them to love their neighbors as themselves and to trust You as their defender. "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord" (Romans 12:19).
Lord, we also ask for Your guidance and provision as they seek to move forward in their life. Open doors for them to sell items online and to find a place where they can thrive. Provide for their needs and give them wisdom in their decisions. Help them to trust in You completely, knowing that Your grace is sufficient for them (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Above all, Father, we pray that they would draw closer to You. If they have not already, we ask that they would surrender their life to Jesus Christ, repenting of sin and placing their faith in Him alone for salvation. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and give them the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). We resist the enemy in the name of Jesus, standing firm in the truth of Your Word.
Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and love. We trust You to work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
