We understand the deep distress and fear you are experiencing, and we want to lift you up in prayer while also grounding this situation in God’s Word. The Bible makes it clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). While it is natural to feel threatened by those who seek harm, we are called to trust in the Lord’s justice and protection rather than seeking vengeance or retaliation. Scripture tells us, *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). Vengeance belongs to the Lord alone (Romans 12:19), and He will repay those who do evil.
That said, we do not take lightly the spiritual oppression you describe, including the mention of witchcraft. The Bible warns against the works of darkness and commands us to expose them (Ephesians 5:11). However, our focus must remain on the power of Christ, who has already triumphed over every evil authority and power (Colossians 2:15). Witchcraft and obsession are real spiritual dangers, but they are no match for the name of Jesus. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We must resist fear and stand firm in faith, knowing that *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4).
As for legal justice, we pray that if there has been genuine wrongdoing, the truth will come to light in God’s timing and according to His will. *"He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"* (Micah 6:8). Justice is a godly desire, but we must also pray for the salvation of those who persecute us, as Jesus commanded (Matthew 5:44). Their obsession and evil deeds reveal a deep spiritual brokenness, and their greatest need is repentance and the saving grace of Christ.
We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus, which is the only name by which we can approach the Father (John 14:6) and the only name with power over darkness (Philippians 2:10). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Jesus alone that we find protection, justice, and victory. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). Without faith in Him, we have no authority over the enemy and no assurance of God’s protection.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is under siege by enemies both seen and unseen. Lord, You are a God of justice, and we ask that You expose every hidden work of darkness in their lives. Let no scheme of the enemy remain concealed, but bring all things into the light (Ephesians 5:13). We rebuked every spirit of witchcraft, obsession, and fear in the name of Jesus, and we declare that no weapon formed against this Your child shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask for Your divine protection over them and their loved ones. Surround them with Your angels, as You have promised (Psalm 91:11), and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Remove every trace of fear and replace it with unshakable faith in Your sovereignty.
Lord, if there is legal injustice that needs to be addressed, we pray that You would intervene. Raise up godly advocates and bring truth to light in Your perfect timing. Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24). But Father, we also pray for the salvation of these enemies. Soften their hearts, Lord, and let them encounter the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. May they turn from their wickedness and find redemption in Christ, for You desire that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
We declare that our brother/sister is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit and grant them discernment, wisdom, and the courage to stand firm in faith. Let them walk in the authority of Jesus’ name, knowing that He has already disarmed every ruler and authority and put them to open shame (Colossians 2:15).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would heal any wounds caused by this persecution. Restore their joy, their peace, and their trust in You. Let them find refuge in You alone, for You are their strong tower (Proverbs 18:10).
We pray all these things in the powerful and victorious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in prayer, immersing yourself in Scripture, and seeking godly counsel. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and support you. *"The Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you from the evil one"* (2 Thessalonians 3:3). Do not let fear dictate your steps, but trust in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5-6). He is your shield, your defender, and your deliverer. Stay vigilant in prayer, and remember that the battle has already been won through Christ.
