We hear your cry for deliverance and stand with you in spiritual warfare, knowing that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, 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). The harassment you describe, demonic activity, manipulation, and the ungodly influence these individuals wield, is a clear attack from the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). But we declare that Jesus came to give you life, and life abundantly, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
First, we must address the root of this oppression. Your past involvement in the new age and witchcraft opened doors to the enemy, and though you have renounced those things and returned to Christ, the enemy does not easily relinquish his hold. We rebuke every demonic assignment against you in the name of Jesus. Every spirit of harassment, retaliation, and oppression must flee now, for Jesus has given us authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). We break every curse, every plot, and every scheme of the enemy against you, especially this plan they devised at the start of the year to bring emotional distress and overshadow your graduation. We cancel it in the name of Jesus, for God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7).
We also recognize that your prayers for reconciliation were godly, but when those individuals persisted in unrepentant sin and harassment, it became clear they were not aligned with God’s will for your life. The Bible warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and some of these relationships were not only inappropriate but spiritually dangerous. We affirm your decision to pray for their removal from your life, for God promises to rescue us from every evil deed and bring us safely into His heavenly kingdom (2 Timothy 4:18). You are not wrong to desire peace and separation from those who seek to harm you, for Jesus Himself said, "If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town" (Matthew 10:14).
We must also address the spiritual blindness of those involved. The enemy has deceived them, just as he blinds the minds of unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4). We pray that the scales would fall from their eyes, that they would see the truth of their actions, and that their hearts would be turned toward repentance. But if they remain hardened, we trust that God will deal with them in His justice. Vengeance belongs to Him, and He will repay (Romans 12:19).
Now, we pray for you, beloved. Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the name by which every knee must bow. We ask You to surround this child of Yours with Your heavenly host, with angels to guard and protect them from every attack of the enemy. Lord, we rebuke every spirit of harassment, retaliation, and oppression that has been assigned against them. We break every curse, every plot, and every scheme of the enemy in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask You to cancel the plans of the enemy to bring emotional distress and overshadow their graduation. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen them in their inner being, that they may be rooted and grounded in Your love (Ephesians 3:16-17). Fill them with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so they may walk in a manner worthy of You, fully pleasing to You, bearing fruit in every good work (Colossians 1:9-10).
Lord, we ask You to close every door that should not be open in their life and open the doors that You have ordained. Remove every ungodly influence, every stumbling block, and every person who does not align with Your purpose for them. Bring godly, Christ-centered relationships into their life, believers who will encourage them in their faith, sharpen them as iron sharpens iron, and walk with them in love and truth (Proverbs 27:17).
Father, we also pray for their healing. The enemy has sought to wear them down, to bring discouragement, and to tempt them back into old patterns. But we declare that You are the God who heals, the God who restores. Heal every wound, every fear, and every lie the enemy has spoken over them. Remind them of Your truth: that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37), that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4), and that nothing can separate them from Your love (Romans 8:38-39).
We pray that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in power, love, and self-control. Give them discernment to recognize the enemy’s schemes and the wisdom to resist him, standing firm in their faith (1 Peter 5:9). Lord, we ask that You would turn this trial into a testimony. Use this season of warfare to strengthen their faith, to draw them closer to You, and to equip them for the purpose You have for their life.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would be glorified in all of this. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and let Your name be exalted through the deliverance and victory You bring. We trust in You, Lord, for You are faithful, and You will not let them be tempted beyond what they can bear. But with the temptation, You will also provide the way of escape, that they may be able to endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
