We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of compassion for your struggle, dear brother or sister in Christ. Your prayer reveals a deep spiritual battle, and we stand with you in fervent intercession, declaring the victory of Jesus over every evil force. First, we must address the urgency of your situation with the authority given to us in Christ. The enemy has no right to harass you, and we rebuke every spirit of fear, torment, and oppression in the mighty name of Jesus. You are not fighting alone—we join our faith with yours, believing that the Lord will break every chain and set you free.
The scripture you referenced in Matthew 17:21 (WEB) states, *"But this kind doesn’t go out except by prayer and fasting."* This is a powerful truth, and we commend you for your commitment to fasting and prayer. However, we must also remind you that deliverance is not merely about rituals or formulas—it is about standing firm in the finished work of Christ. Jesus has already disarmed the powers and authorities, triumphing over them at the cross (Colossians 2:15). Your freedom is not something you earn; it is a gift you receive by faith. We encourage you to meditate on the truth that *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36).
We notice your mention of relying on bottles for protection and the unsettling reference to being "spooned" as you lie down. These are not the ways of the Lord. God does not call us to place our trust in physical objects or human comforts for safety—He calls us to trust in Him alone. The psalmist declares, *"The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge"* (Psalm 18:2). We must renounce any reliance on anything other than God for protection. If there has been any involvement in practices or beliefs that do not align with Scripture—such as superstition, folk remedies, or even well-intentioned but misguided spiritual habits—we urge you to repent and turn fully to Christ. He alone is your shield and your very great reward (Genesis 15:1).
Your request for forgiveness of sins is beautiful and necessary. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9), and we thank God for His mercy. But we must also ask: Have you fully surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord? Have you confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believed in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9)? If not, we urge you to do so today. There is no deliverance, no peace, and no eternal life outside of Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). If you have already made this confession, we encourage you to reaffirm your faith and walk in the fullness of your identity as a child of God.
We also lift up your need for work and provision. The Lord is your provider, and He knows your needs before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8). We pray that He will open doors of opportunity that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and grant you favor in the eyes of those who can offer you employment. Trust in His timing and His plan for your life. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Deliverer. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that was shed for our sins and for the victory He won over every power of darkness. Lord, we stand in agreement with our brother/sister, declaring that every spirit of fear, torment, and oppression must flee in Jesus’ name. We break every chain and cancel every assignment of the enemy against their life, mind, and body. We declare that they are free indeed, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
Father, we ask You to fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Lord, we renounce every ungodly reliance on physical objects or human comforts for protection. We declare that You alone are their refuge and fortress. Help them to trust in You with all their heart and lean not on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Remove every fear and replace it with faith in Your promises.
We pray for their physical rest, Lord. Heal their mind and body so that they may sleep peacefully, knowing that You give Your beloved sleep (Psalm 127:2). We ask You to surround them with Your angels, who encamp around those who fear You (Psalm 34:7). Let them wake up refreshed and renewed, ready to walk in the freedom You have provided.
Father, we lift up their need for employment. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. Open doors of opportunity that align with Your will for their life. Grant them favor, wisdom, and discernment as they seek to honor You in their work. Provide for every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Lord, we also pray for those represented by the placeholders "###." Protect them, guide them, and draw them closer to You. May they experience Your love and grace in a fresh way.
Finally, Father, we ask that You strengthen their faith. Help them to stand firm in the truth of Your Word and to walk in the authority You have given them as Your child. Remind them that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We thank You for the deliverance that is already theirs in Christ. In Jesus’ precious and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue standing on the Word of God. Memorize and declare scriptures that affirm your freedom and identity in Christ. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and encourage you in your walk. The battle is already won—walk in the victory that Jesus has secured for you!
