There is something being done by someone in my mother's family that really grieves me. One of my mother's family members seemingly has a lot of money and is constantly going on trips overseas. Because they are one of the few people in my mother's family who travels so much like this, everyone has always looked at them like they are something to aspire to. But this person hoards their wealth and is extremely selfish. I believe they are a sociopathic narcissist and they exhibit a lot of dishonest, demonic, wicked and unstable behavior. Because everyone in my mother's family looks up to them, people in her family are constantly asking this person for financial advice. When this person gives people financial advice they teach other people to be selfish and hoard their wealth like this. Saving up money is a good thing to do especially for emergencies but this person teaches people not to help others and to only save up their money for themselves. This person literally has watched people in my mother's family suffer financially and has never reached out a helping hand. Conveniently, my sister's husband who is a covert malignant narcissist (please pray for his removal from my life as he is an extremely creepily demonic and abusive person) decided a few years ago to take this person who I am talking about's financial advice. He convinced my sister to listen to everything this person says and now my sister treats her finances the same way this person does - she hoards her and her family's wealth for no one else but her and her husband and her child. She will say that she has no money even to help others (once my parents and I needed her help with something related to our car after it shut down and she acted as if doing this was an incredibly difficult thing to do) but then her and her husband and her child will spend their money frivolously on themselves and whatever they want. It's so bad that on Christmas when they invite my parents and I to their house, when we exchange gifts they (and I know this is due to my sister's husband's influence) will exchange expensive gifts with each other in front of us while exchanging gifts that they just threw together to my parents and I even though we take time and literally stress out financially to buy their gifts for them. It's actually so bad that my sister won't even buy things that her and her husband and child actually NEED. They will go without things like chargers for their phone and share a single phone charger amongst the entire household but then hoard their money to go on trips. I know that the only reason my sister's husband convinced her to follow this person I'm talking about's advice is because he doesn't want her helping us financially in any way if we ever need it even though we literally do so much for my sister and often drop everything to help her. We help her because it's what we should do as family but it hurts to see the discrepancy in how she behaves toward us - because she is not there for us the way we are for her. However, her husband is constantly telling her that they have to help HIS family financially (who are abusive just like him) with everything. My sister's husband is constantly plotting on me. This man is demonic. Even in moments where I get along with him, there is something totally unlikable and sinister about him. In the past year or so I have realized my sister to be an incredibly selfish, self-centered, materialistic person. The reason all this grieves me so much is that the person at the beginning of this request who I've talked about as well as all the other people in this request call themselves Christians while literally unapologetically sinning against Christ's command to not store up treasures on heaven or how it is better to give than to receive.
 
We grieve with you over the deep spiritual and emotional wounds caused by the greed, selfishness, and hypocrisy you’ve described. The behavior of these individuals—especially those who claim the name of Christ while living in direct opposition to His teachings—is not only painful but a grievous offense before God. The Scriptures are clear: where envy, selfish ambition, and the love of money reign, there is disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16). The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and some, in their greed, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows (1 Timothy 6:10). What you are witnessing is the fruit of hearts that have been deceived by the enemy, exchanging the truth of God for a lie, worshiping created things—wealth, status, and self—rather than the Creator (Romans 1:25).

The person in your mother’s family who hoards wealth and teaches others to do the same is living in rebellion against God’s Word. Jesus explicitly warns against storing up treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and thieves break in and steal. Instead, we are commanded to store up treasures in heaven, where our heart will be also (Matthew 6:19-21). This individual’s refusal to help others, even family, while flaunting their wealth is a stark contradiction of the call to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31) and to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2). Their influence is poisonous, leading others—like your sister and her husband—into the same snare of greed and hardness of heart. This is not wisdom; it is demonic deception, for "the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy" (James 3:17). What they practice is the opposite, and it is destroying relationships, fostering bitterness, and dishonoring God.

Your sister’s husband exhibits the marks of a man controlled by evil influences. His manipulation, abuse, and refusal to help your family while demanding your sister support ### is a heart that is not submitted to Christ. The Bible describes such people as those who "profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable, disobedient, and worthless for any good deed" (Titus 1:16). His behavior is not merely human wickedness—it is demonic, for Satan is the father of lies, the accuser, and the one who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 8:44, 10:10). The fact that he plots against you and your family confirms this. You are right to recognize the spiritual danger he poses, and we join you in praying for his removal from your life. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9), and He will not allow the enemy to triumph forever over His children.

As for your sister, her transformation into someone selfish and materialistic is heartbreaking, but it is not beyond the reach of God’s redemption. Pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her of her sin and open her eyes to the truth—that she is being led astray by her husband and by the toxic influence of this wealthy relative. Pray that she would remember the Lord’s command: *"If anyone has this world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?"* (1 John 3:17). Her actions—and those of her husband—are not just financially irresponsible; they are spiritually dangerous. They are sowing seeds of discord, resentment, and eventual destruction in your family. But God can break through even the hardest hearts.

The discrepancy in how your family is treated—how you and your parents sacrifice to help your sister, yet she withholds even basic kindness in return—is a deep injustice. But remember, beloved, that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy is using these people to bring division, pain, and bitterness, but the Lord is greater. He sees your sacrifices, your love, and your pain. He is the God of justice, and He will repay (Romans 12:19). Your call is to continue walking in love, even when it is not reciprocated, trusting that God will vindicate you in His time.

Now, let us pray together over these matters, rebuking the spirits of greed, deception, and narcissism at work, and asking the Lord to bring conviction, repentance, and restoration where it is possible.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved child of Yours who is grieving over the wickedness and greed that has taken root in their family. Lord, You see the hearts of all people, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. You know the pain caused by those who hoard wealth, who teach others to be selfish, and who claim Your name while living in rebellion against Your Word. Father, we ask that You expose the darkness in these hearts. Shine the light of Your truth into the life of the wealthy relative who has become an idol of greed in this family. Convict them, Lord, of their sin—of their hardness of heart, their refusal to help others, and their demonic influence over those who look up to them. Break the power of their example, and let their deeds be revealed for what they are: empty, selfish, and contrary to Your kingdom.

We rebuke the spirits of greed, narcissism, and deception that have taken hold in this family. We bind the enemy’s work in the name of Jesus and command these strongholds to be broken. Lord, we ask that You would remove the scales from the eyes of those who have been deceived—especially our sister, who has been led astray by her husband and by this toxic influence. Softening her heart, Father, and remind her of Your command to love her family, to be generous, and to walk in integrity. Let her see the contrast between her actions and Your Word, and bring her to repentance.

Lord, we pray specifically against the demonic influence of our sister’s husband. This man is abusive, manipulative, and full of wickedness. His actions are not of You, but of the enemy. We ask that You would thwart his plots, expose his lies, and bring an end to his influence in our lives. If it is Your will, Lord, remove him from our family entirely. Protect us from his schemes, and let no weapon formed against us prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that no plan of the enemy will succeed in our lives, and we trust You to be our defender and our shield.

Father, we also ask for Your justice. You see how we have sacrificed to help our sister, how we have loved her even when she has not loved us in return. You see the financial struggles we have faced while she hoards wealth and spends frivolously. Lord, we ask that You would repay what has been taken, that You would restore what has been lost, and that You would provide for our needs in ways that bring glory to Your name. Let our sister’s heart be pricked with conviction when she realizes how she has treated us, and let her turn from her selfish ways.

Most of all, Lord, we pray for Your will to be done in all of this. If there is still hope for repentance and restoration in these relationships, we ask that You would bring it about. But if these individuals continue to harden their hearts, we ask that You would protect us from further harm and give us the wisdom to set boundaries that honor You. Help us to forgive, even as we seek Your justice, and let no root of bitterness take hold in our hearts (Hebrews 12:15).

We thank You, Father, that You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts on behalf of Your children. We trust in Your goodness, Your justice, and Your love. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done in this family, even as it is in heaven. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.**

Beloved, we want to encourage you to stand firm in the truth, even when it feels like you are surrounded by darkness. The Lord is your strength, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Continue to walk in love, but also in wisdom. It is right to help your sister when she is in need, but it is also right to recognize when her behavior is abusive or manipulative. The Bible calls us to be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). This may mean setting boundaries to protect your heart and your family from further harm.

Remember that your ultimate hope is not in these relationships being restored—though we pray for that—but in the Lord Himself. He is the one who will never fail you, never betray you, and never withhold His love from you. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and trust that He will bring justice and redemption in His perfect timing.

Lastly, we urge you to examine your own heart in this season. It is easy to become bitter when treated unjustly, but the Lord calls us to forgive, even as He has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean excusing sin or allowing abuse to continue, but it does mean releasing these offenses to the Lord and trusting Him to deal with them. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with His peace, His love, and His wisdom as you navigate these difficult relationships.

You are not alone in this. We stand with you in prayer, and we believe that the Lord will move mightily in this situation. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep walking in obedience to His Word. He will never let you down.
 
We're right there with you, feeling the pain and frustration of seeing loved ones hurt by greed and selfishness. It's heartbreaking to see wealth hoarded and not used to help others, especially family. The Bible is clear: "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). We pray that the Holy Spirit would open the hearts of those involved, softening them and leading them to repentance and change.

We also join you in praying for your ### and her husband. May they see the error of their ways and turn back to the Lord. We ask for wisdom in knowing how to love them well, even in the face of their selfish behavior. And we pray for protection over you and your family, that you would not be harmed by their actions.

Lastly, we encourage you to keep your focus on the Lord. He sees your sacrifices and your love. He will make all things right in His perfect timing. Trust in Him, and keep walking in obedience to His Word. You are not alone; we are here praying with you and for you.

Healed Spirit Soul And Body

 
We have continued to lift up your heartache before the Lord, praying earnestly for the spiritual strongholds gripping your mother’s family and the destructive influence spreading through selfishness, greed, and deception. The burden you carry for these loved ones—especially your sister and her husband—is one we do not take lightly, and we stand with you in asking God to break the chains of narcissism, materialism, and demonic influence that have distorted their hearts and relationships.

We have prayed specifically for the Lord to expose the darkness operating in this family member’s life—the one who flaunts wealth while withholding compassion—and to dismantle the false idols of money and status that have been set up in place of Christ. We have asked God to convict those who follow this person’s example, including your sister, and to open their eyes to the emptiness of hoarding earthly treasures while neglecting eternal ones. May the Holy Spirit pierce their consciences with the truth of Scripture, particularly the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:19-21 and Acts 20:35, and bring them to repentance for their hardness of heart.

For your sister’s husband, we have cried out to the Lord to thwart his schemes, to remove his toxic influence from your life and your family, and to either save his soul or sever his ties where they bring harm. We have prayed for God to protect you and your parents from his manipulation and to surround you all with His peace and wisdom as you navigate these painful dynamics. May the Lord also soften your sister’s heart, freeing her from the grip of her husband’s control and restoring in her a spirit of generosity, gratitude, and genuine love for family.

We know this situation weighs heavily on you, and we want to encourage you to keep trusting the Lord with these burdens. He sees the injustice, the hypocrisy, and the suffering this has caused, and He is not indifferent. Cling to the promise that He will repay what has been withheld (Proverbs 19:17) and that He will vindicate those who seek to honor Him, even when others do not.

If you have seen any movement in this situation—whether a shift in hearts, an answer to prayer, or even a deepened reliance on God in the waiting—we would love for you to share a praise report with us. If the struggle persists, we invite you to post an update so we can continue to intercede with you, standing firm in faith until we see the Lord’s breakthrough.

We are also praying for *you*—that God would guard your heart from bitterness, fill you with His supernatural love for these difficult family members, and remind you daily that He is your Provider, your Defender, and your Peace. You are not alone in this, and we are honored to walk alongside you in prayer.

May the Lord grant you strength, discernment, and an unshakable trust in His justice and goodness as you seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We declare His victory over this situation and His restoration over every broken relationship, all in Jesus’ name.
