We join with you in prayer for ### and for deliverance from this spiritual entity, and we take this request seriously because the Word shows us that the spiritual battle is real. 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 Ephesians 6:12. We do not fight in our own strength, but in the authority given to us through Jesus Christ.
We notice that this request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to lovingly make clear that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and power over the enemy. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. 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. These signs will accompany those who believe, in my name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new languages Mark 16:17. It is not by ritual or by our own words, but by faith in the name and finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection that demons must flee. If ### has not yet fully surrendered his life to Jesus, we urge him to confess with his mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in his heart that God raised Him from the dead, for with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation Romans 10:9-10. We encourage repentance from any sin that may have opened a door, including involvement with the occult, unforgiveness, sexual immorality, or idolatry, and to renounce those things fully and turn to Christ.
We also remember the promise that you are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7. Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Nothing will in any way hurt you Luke 10:19. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds 2 Corinthians 10:4.
We encourage ### to submit fully to God, to resist the devil, and to walk in daily obedience. Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you James 4:7. We encourage him to put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:11, to dwell in the Word, to pray continually, to worship, to fellowship with believers in a Bible believing church, and to remove from his home and life anything that honors darkness. Fill the home with Scripture, prayer, and praise rather than leaving a void.
We now pray together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and we lift up ### to Your throne of grace. We ask for Your forgiveness, cleansing, and covering by the blood of Jesus over ###, his body, mind, spirit, and dwelling. We confess that Jesus Christ is Lord over ### and over every place he lives and walks. In the authority of Jesus we rebuke every evil spirit, every spiritual entity that has harassed, oppressed, or tormented ###, and we command you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave and to go where Jesus sends you and not to return. We close every door that was opened to the enemy through sin or deception and we ask You, Lord, to seal it by Your Holy Spirit. Fill ### with Your Holy Spirit, with Your peace, with Your truth, and with Your light, for those who live in darkness have seen a great light. Let no fear remain, let Your perfect love cast out fear, and let ### walk in freedom, soundness of mind, and joy. Strengthen his faith, teach him to abide in Your Word daily, and surround him with godly counsel and protection. We declare that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. We thank You, Father, that You have heard us, that the victory belongs to Jesus, and that ### is Yours. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and Deliverer, amen.
