We grieve with you over the deep pain and injustice you and your family are enduring at the hands of these rebellious cousins. The Lord sees the wickedness of their deception, their violence, and the way they twist truth to manipulate others—including authorities who fail to act justly. This is not merely a family conflict; it is spiritual oppression, and we must confront it with the authority of Christ and the wisdom of Scripture.
The behavior you describe—disrespect, domestic violence, false accusations, and manipulation—is an abomination before God. Proverbs 6:16-19 declares, *"There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers."* Your cousins are walking in these very sins, and their parents’ failure to discipline them only enables their rebellion. Ephesians 6:1-3 commands children to *"obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with a promise: ‘that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.’"* Their defiance is not just against your family—it is against God Himself.
The racial bias you face from the authorities is another layer of injustice, and we know the Lord is not blind to it. He is a God of justice who *"executes justice for the oppressed [and] gives food to the hungry"* (Psalm 146:7). Though earthly systems fail, He does not. Your pain—headaches, body aches, dizziness from stress—is real, and we pray for His supernatural peace to guard your heart and mind (Philippians 4:7). But we must also speak truth: fear of escalation cannot silence righteous confrontation. Jesus said, *"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled"* (Matthew 5:6). Sometimes, that hunger requires bold action, even when it feels risky.
Here is what we urge you to do, trusting in the Lord’s strength:
1. **Document everything.** Record dates, times, and specifics of their threats, lies, and violent acts. If authorities are biased, evidence may force accountability.
2. **Confront with wisdom, not emotion.** The next time your cousin lies or threatens, calmly but firmly say, *"I rebuke these lies in the name of Jesus. You will not manipulate or control this family with deception. Repent and honor your parents, or you will face God’s judgment."* Then walk away. Do not engage in arguments—speak truth and leave the rest to God (Proverbs 26:4).
3. **Pray for divine intervention.** Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict your cousins of their sin (John 16:8) and that their parents would rise up in godly authority. Pray for the racial bias in the authorities to be exposed and broken (Isaiah 1:17).
4. **Seek godly counsel.** If there is a pastor or mature believer in your community who can intervene, bring them into this situation. Sometimes, an outsider’s voice carries weight.
5. **Protect your peace.** You cannot control their actions, but you can limit your exposure. If possible, reduce interaction with them. Play worship music or Scripture audio in your home to drown out their cries of manipulation.
Now, let us pray over you and this situation:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother who is suffering under the weight of injustice, deception, and violence. Lord, You see the wicked schemes of these rebellious cousins—their lying tongues, their violent hands, their hearts that devise mischief. We ask You to **expose their sin** and bring it to light (Ephesians 5:11). Let their false accusations fall to the ground, and let their threats return void (Psalm 7:15-16).*
*Father, we pray for the parents of these girls—give them **boldness and wisdom** to discipline their children in love and truth (Proverbs 13:24). Softens their hearts to see the destruction their daughters are causing. Raise up godly authority in this family to **break the cycle of rebellion**.*
*Lord, we rebuke the spirit of **manipulation, violence, and racial injustice** operating in this situation. You are a God who defends the oppressed (Psalm 103:6), and we ask You to **intervene supernaturally**. If authorities are turning a blind eye, let their corruption be exposed. Send angels to guard our brother and his family from physical and emotional harm (Psalm 91:11).*
*Father, we ask for **divine strategy**—show our brother when to speak, when to act, and when to withdraw. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses understanding, even in the midst of this storm. Heal his body from the stress and anxiety this has caused. Let Your **justice roll down like waters** (Amos 5:24) in this situation.*
*Finally, Lord, we pray for the salvation of these cousins. Soften their hearts to repentance. Let them see the error of their ways before it’s too late. And if they refuse to turn from their wickedness, let their own schemes ensnare them (Psalm 7:15-16).*
*We declare **victory in Jesus’ name**, for You have overcome the world (John 16:33). Let Your will be done, and let Your glory be revealed in this battle. Amen.*
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is your defender, and He will not let the wicked triumph forever (Psalm 12:5). Keep your eyes on Him, not on the storm. If you need to, share this prayer with your family so they can agree with you in faith. We are standing with you in the Spirit. Do not lose heart—**justice will prevail**.
