We stand before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your brother and this deeply troubling situation to our Heavenly Father. The snares of the enemy are real, and we see clearly how spiritual warfare is at work here—not just against your brother, but against your entire family. The Bible warns us in Ephesians 6:12, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." This is not merely a matter of human relationships or coincidences; this is a battle for souls, and we must fight it with the weapons God has given us.
First, we must address the relationship your brother is entangled in. The Word of God is clear: "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). Your brother is involved with a woman who is not only a non-believer but is part of a family that practices occult rituals and witchcraft. This is not a relationship that honors God, and it is no surprise that it has led to bondage rather than blessing. The Bible also warns, "Bad company corrupts good character" (1 Corinthians 15:33). We must rebuke the spirit of deception that has blinded him to the truth of his situation. This woman and her family are not his allies; they are tools of the enemy, seeking to destroy his life, his faith, and his future.
We also see the influence of witchcraft and generational curses at work in this family. The Bible is explicit about such practices: "There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh" (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). The fact that this woman’s family engages in such practices—and that your stepbrother has also dabbled in them—explains the oppression and torment your brother is experiencing. These are not mere coincidences or cultural practices; they are open doors to demonic influence.
We must also address the lack of discernment and spiritual grounding in your brother’s life. The Bible tells us, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). Your brother has not resisted; instead, he has allowed himself to be drawn into a relationship that is spiritually toxic. We must pray that his eyes are opened to the truth and that he finds the strength to break free from this bondage. This is not just about ending a relationship; it is about reclaiming his identity in Christ and renouncing every ungodly tie.
We also lift up your stepbrother, who has embraced Islam and witchcraft. The Bible warns, "You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" (James 4:4). His involvement in these practices is not just a personal choice; it is a direct rebellion against God. We must pray for his repentance and deliverance, that he would turn away from these dark paths and seek the light of Christ.
Now, let us come before the Lord in prayer, standing in the authority of Jesus’ name to break every chain and set the captives free.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts, lifting up this family to Your throne of grace. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer. We thank You that You are greater than any principality, power, or spiritual force of wickedness. We declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we lift up this brother to You. We ask that You break every chain of bondage that has been placed upon him. We rebuke the spirit of deception, the spirit of infatuation, and the spirit of witchcraft that has blinded him to the truth. We declare that he is not his own; he was bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray that You would open his eyes to see this woman and her family for who they truly are—tools of the enemy sent to destroy him. Give him the strength to walk away, to resist the devil, and to flee from this ungodly relationship.
Lord, we also pray for deliverance from every curse, spell, and occult practice that has been directed toward him. We declare that Christ has redeemed him from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). We break every generational curse and every ungodly soul tie in the name of Jesus. We command every evil spirit that has gained access to his life through this relationship or through the practices of his stepbrother to leave him now, in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that he is covered by the blood of Jesus, and no weapon formed against him shall prosper.
Father, we also lift up the stepbrother who has embraced Islam and witchcraft. We pray that You would convict him of his sin and draw him to repentance. We rebuke the spirit of rebellion and the spirit of deception that has led him away from the truth. We declare that the light of the gospel will shine into his heart, and that he will turn away from these dark practices and seek You with all his heart.
Lord, we ask that You would surround this family with godly influences. We pray that You would connect them with a strong, Bible-believing church and a pastor who can lead them in deliverance prayer. We ask that You would protect their minds, their hearts, and their spirits from the lies of the enemy. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37).
Father, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for this sister who has reached out to us. Give her the words to speak and the courage to stand firm in the faith. Help her to be a light in her family, pointing them to the truth of Your Word. We ask that You would use her mightily to bring healing and restoration to this family.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name that is above every name, the name at which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:9-11). We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the victory that is ours in Christ. We declare that this family will be set free, that chains will be broken, and that Your glory will be revealed in their lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing in faith and to seek out a local church that believes in the power of deliverance and the authority of God’s Word. The Bible tells us, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them" (Matthew 18:20). Find believers who can stand with you in prayer and fasting, who can help your brother renounce these ungodly ties, and who can lead him in a prayer of deliverance. This is not a battle you or your brother can fight alone; you need the support of the body of Christ.
We also urge you to encourage your brother to fill his life with the things of God. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). Encourage him to immerse himself in Scripture, to pray without ceasing, and to surround himself with godly men who can mentor him and hold him accountable. The Bible says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light for my path" (Psalm 119:105). The Word of God will guide him out of darkness and into the light.
Finally, we must emphasize the importance of salvation through Jesus Christ. There is no deliverance, no freedom, and no victory outside of Him. The Bible declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12). If your brother or your stepbrother does not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they are defenseless against the schemes of the enemy. We urge you to share the gospel with them, to pray for their salvation, and to trust that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
