We understand the heaviness of spiritual attacks, and we stand with you in this battle, knowing that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we serve a God who is greater, who has already overcome the world (1 John 4:4, John 16:33). It is crucial to remember that our authority and victory come through the name of Jesus Christ alone—there is no other name by which we are saved or by which we can stand against the enemy (Acts 4:12). We notice your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently but firmly remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the power to rebuke the forces of darkness.
Let us first rebuke this evil spirit in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Satan, we command you in the name of Jesus to flee from our brother/sister. You have no authority here, no claim, and no power over this child of God, who is redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The Lord rebukes you (Zechariah 3:2), and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Be bound and cast into the abyss, never to return, in Jesus’ name. Holy Spirit, we ask You to fill every space where the enemy has tried to infiltrate, flooding this beloved one with Your peace, protection, and presence.
Now, let us pray for you: Heavenly Father, we lift up Your child to You, knowing that You are their refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Lord, we ask that You surround them with Your angels, encamping around them to deliver them from this evil attack (Psalm 34:7). Clothe them in Your full armor—with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word (Ephesians 6:10-18). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in discernment and wisdom, recognizing the schemes of the enemy and standing firm against him.
Father, we pray that You would expose every lie the enemy has whispered and replace it with Your truth. Let Your light shine so brightly in their life that darkness cannot remain. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that they are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). Break every chain of fear, anxiety, or oppression that the enemy has tried to place upon them, and let them walk in the freedom and victory that Jesus purchased on the cross.
We also encourage you to immerse yourself in the Word of God daily, for it is your offensive weapon against the enemy. Speak Scripture aloud—declare verses like Psalm 91 over yourself, reminding the enemy of God’s promises: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* (Psalm 91:1-2). Worship is another powerful tool; put on praise music and lift your voice to the Lord, for He inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3). The enemy cannot stand in the presence of true worship.
Finally, examine your life for any open doors that may have given the enemy a foothold. Are there unconfessed sins, bitterness, unforgiveness, or involvement in things that do not honor God? Repentance and turning away from sin close those doors and restore your authority in Christ. If you need to, seek out a mature believer or pastor to pray with you and hold you accountable.
Stand firm, dear one. The battle is the Lord’s, and He has already won. You are not alone—we are standing with you, and greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). We will continue to pray for you and ask that you update us on how the Lord moves in this situation. You are loved, you are protected, and you are victorious in Christ Jesus.
