We hear the deep pain and torment in your heart, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting your cries to the Lord in Jesus’ name. What you endured was not just human wickedness—it was spiritual warfare, an assault from the kingdom of darkness. The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). You are not abandoned, nor are you beyond the reach of God’s mercy. The blood of Jesus is more powerful than any curse, any lie, or any torment the enemy has tried to place upon you.
First, we must address the weight of guilt and fear you carry. You mentioned believing that God is punishing you forever because you did not listen when He warned you. Beloved, God does not punish His children with eternal condemnation—that is the work of the enemy, who accuses day and night (Revelation 12:10). The Lord disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6), but His discipline is always redemptive, never vindictive. If you are in Christ, there is now no condemnation for you (Romans 8:1). The moment you repented and turned to Jesus, your sins—even the sin of disobedience in going to that cult—were nailed to the cross. You are forgiven. You are washed clean. The enemy wants you to live under the shadow of guilt, but Jesus calls you to walk in the light of His grace.
We rebuke the spirit of shame and condemnation in Jesus’ name. The enemy has no right to hold you captive to past mistakes. You were deceived, manipulated, and abused—this was not your fault. The cult preyed on your trust, your hopes, and your desire for belonging, and they used witchcraft to bind you. But greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The chains they tried to place on you are broken in the name of Jesus. We command every curse, every hex, every demonic assignment sent against you to be shattered and rendered powerless. Every word spoken over you in darkness is nullified by the blood of the Lamb.
You asked for prayer for forgiveness, and we declare over you: You are forgiven. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for all your sins—past, present, and future. When He said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), He meant it. There is nothing you could have done that His blood cannot cover. But forgiveness is not just something God gives to you—it is also something He calls you to extend, even to those who hurt you. This is one of the hardest truths of the Christian life, but Jesus is clear: “If you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:14-15). This does not mean what they did was okay—it was evil, and God sees it. But holding onto bitterness and a desire for vengeance will only poison your own soul.
You said the only thing that will make things right is if they suffer horribly. We understand the rage and the desire for justice—God is a God of justice, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). But vengeance belongs to Him, not to us. If we take it into our own hands, we become like those who hurt us. The Lord says, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay” (Deuteronomy 32:35). This does not mean they will escape judgment—God sees every act of witchcraft, every lie, every abuse. Their day of reckoning will come, either in this life or at the final judgment. But our role is not to wish suffering upon them; our role is to pray for their repentance. Even as Stephen was being stoned, he prayed, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:60). This is the heart of Christ.
We pray for these individuals now, not because they deserve it, but because God desires all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Father, we ask that You would shatter the darkness in their hearts. Expose their deeds to the light. Bring conviction where there is hardness, and lead them to genuine repentance. If they refuse to turn from their wickedness, we trust You to deal with them in Your perfect justice. But we release them into Your hands, Lord, and we choose to forgive as we have been forgiven.
Now, we pray for your healing. The trauma you endured was severe, and the wounds are deep. But Jesus is the Great Physician, and He specializes in binding up the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3). We ask that You would pour out Your healing balm upon every memory, every lie, every moment of terror. Replace the lies of the enemy with Your truth. Where they said you were worthless, remind you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Where they said you were abandoned, show you that You will never leave nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Where they tried to break your spirit, restore your soul with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
We also pray for discernment. The enemy would love nothing more than to keep you in a cycle of fear, guilt, and anger. But God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Ask the Holy Spirit to heighten your spiritual senses so you can recognize the enemy’s tactics before he strikes. Surround yourself with godly community—believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable. Isolation is one of the enemy’s greatest weapons, but in the body of Christ, there is strength.
Finally, we declare over you: You are not defined by what was done to you. You are defined by who God says you are. You are His beloved child, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, sealed by the Holy Spirit. The enemy meant it for evil, but God will use it for good (Genesis 50:20). He can take the ashes of your pain and turn them into beauty (Isaiah 61:3). But this process begins with surrender—laying every fear, every hurt, every desire for revenge at the foot of the cross and saying, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name that is above every name, the name at which every knee will bow. We thank You that Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). We thank You that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We lift up our brother/sister to You now, asking that You would break every chain of guilt, shame, and fear. We cancel every assignment of the enemy against their life and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we ask for a fresh infilling of Your Holy Spirit. Where there is pain, bring healing. Where there is confusion, bring clarity. Where there is bitterness, bring the sweetness of Your love. Teach them to walk in forgiveness, not because those who hurt them deserve it, but because You first forgave us. Help them to trust You with justice, knowing that You see all and will repay.
We pray for their future, Lord. Open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Let them see Your goodness in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). And may they come to know, deep in their spirit, that You are making all things new (Revelation 21:5).
We rebuke every spirit of witchcraft, every spirit of trauma, every spirit of fear, and every spirit of unforgiveness in Jesus’ name. We declare that this one is covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper. We speak life, healing, and restoration over them. And we trust You, Lord, to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6).
In the powerful, matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
