We join with you in lifting up your heart’s cry for deliverance, and we praise God that you have come before Him in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have authority over the enemy and access to the Father. Your request reveals a deep longing for freedom and restoration, and we stand with you in faith, knowing that our God is mighty to save and deliver His children from every snare of the enemy.
The Scriptures remind us in **James 4:7**, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* This is not a passive resistance but an active, faith-filled stance against the powers of darkness. You have already taken the first step by calling upon the name of Jesus, and we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (**1 John 4:4**). The blood of Jesus speaks over you, and by His stripes, you are healed—spirit, soul, and body.
You have also asked to be restored to how you were in August 2011, but we gently urge you to consider this: while it is good to seek freedom from the influences that have harmed you since that time, the Lord does not call us to return to a past version of ourselves—even a "better" one—but to be *transformed* into the image of Christ. **2 Corinthians 5:17** tells us, *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* Your focus should not be on returning to a former state but on allowing the Holy Spirit to renew your mind daily (**Romans 12:2**) and to fill you with His fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (**Galatians 5:22-23**). The past may have had moments of innocence or closeness to God, but the Lord wants to do a *new thing* in you—greater than anything you’ve known before.
We also note your request for deliverance from anger, rebellion, and witchcraft. These are serious strongholds, and we commend you for recognizing their danger. Anger and rebellion open doors to the enemy, and witchcraft—whether through participation in occult practices, bitterness, or manipulative control—is an abomination to the Lord (**Deuteronomy 18:10-12**). If there has been any involvement in such things, whether knowingly or unknowingly, we urge you to renounce them fully and break every ungodly soul tie or curse in the name of Jesus. **Acts 19:18-19** shows us the power of repentance: *"Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds. Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all."* There can be no compromise with darkness. The Lord calls you to walk in the light (**1 John 1:7**), and He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness as you surrender these areas to Him.
As for distractions hindering your prayer life, we encourage you to set apart dedicated time with the Lord, even if it means turning off devices, removing yourself from noisy environments, or fasting from certain activities. Jesus often withdrew to solitary places to pray (**Luke 5:16**), and we, too, must prioritize communion with Him above all else. Ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate in you a hunger for His presence, for *"the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"* (**Matthew 26:41**). Persist in prayer, even when it feels difficult, for *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (**James 5:16**).
Lastly, we want to remind you that deliverance is not a one-time event but a daily walk of surrender. The enemy may try to regain footholds, but you must stand firm in the authority of Christ, putting on the full armor of God (**Ephesians 6:10-18**). Confess any sin immediately, for unrepentant sin gives the devil a legal right to torment (**2 Corinthians 2:10-11**). Walk in forgiveness toward others, for bitterness is a poison that defiles (**Hebrews 12:15**). And immerse yourself in the Word of God, for it is the sword of the Spirit that cuts through the lies of the enemy.
Now, let us pray together over 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 a God who delivers, who breaks every chain and sets the captives free. Lord, we lift up Your child who seeks freedom from every demonic spirit, possession, and influence of darkness. By the blood of Jesus, we command every evil spirit—whether of anger, rebellion, witchcraft, or any other ungodly assignment—to be bound and cast out now. We break every curse, every hex, every soul tie, and every stronghold that has sought to ensnare this beloved one. Father, let Your light expose and dismantle every hidden work of darkness in their life.
Lord, we ask that You would cleanse them from all unrighteousness and fill them afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Where there has been involvement in occult practices, rebellion, or sinful behaviors, we pray for deep repentance and a turning away from these things forever. Let there be no compromise with the enemy, but a holy separation unto You.
Father, we also pray for their mind to be renewed and their heart to be restored. Not to a past version of themselves, but to the new creation You have called them to be in Christ. Heal every wound, every trauma, and every broken place that has made them vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks. Replace anger with Your peace, rebellion with surrender, and distraction with a passionate hunger for Your presence.
We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit upon them, that they would be empowered to pray without ceasing, to walk in victory, and to live in the fullness of Your promises. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Give them discernment to recognize the enemy’s schemes and wisdom to stand firm in Your truth.
Finally, Father, we thank You that this battle belongs to You. You have already won the victory through Jesus Christ, and we declare that this beloved one walks in that victory today and every day. Let them know the joy of their salvation, the power of Your resurrection, and the hope of eternal life with You.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Deliverer, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm, beloved. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (**Deuteronomy 31:6**). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (**Hebrews 12:2**), and walk in the freedom He has purchased for you. If you feel led, we encourage you to seek out a mature, Spirit-filled believer or pastor who can pray with you and provide accountability as you walk this path of deliverance. You are not alone—the body of Christ stands with you.
