We join you in this prayer for deliverance and protection and we thank you for coming in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is power in His name and authority over all darkness.
We know your struggle feels heavy and draining, and we want to remind you that the enemy has no ultimate power over a child of God. The Word tells us in 1 John 4:4, 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. And in Col 2:15, having stripped the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. What Jesus accomplished on the cross has already defeated witchcraft and every demonic force, and we do not need to live in fear of any witch or spirit that would try to oppress us, for 2 Tim 1:7 says, For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
We also hear your cry to bind these spirits, and Scripture affirms this authority in Christ. Jesus said in Matt 18:18, Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven. And in Luke 10:19, 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. Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, as Eph 6:12 tells us, 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. Therefore we are to put on the whole armor of God and stand firm in Christ, not in our own strength.
We encourage you to walk in that authority by submitting fully to God, closing any door to the occult, and resisting the devil daily through prayer, the Word, and worship. James 4:7 says, Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. If there has been any involvement with occult practices, objects, media, or unforgiveness that could give the enemy a foothold, we encourage you to renounce it and repent before the Lord, and to fill your home and your mind with Scripture and praise. Do not seek revenge or curse the person you believe is working witchcraft against you, but pray as Jesus taught in Matt 5:44 to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, trusting God to be your defender and judge, for He alone will deal justly.
We pray together now for you.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we thank You that You are our refuge and strength. We lift up this dear one to You who feels drained and oppressed, and we ask You to surround them with Your presence and peace. We bind up in the name of Jesus Christ every demonic spirit and every assignment of witchcraft that has been sent against them, and we command those spirits to leave and to go where Jesus sends them and not return. We loose Your Holy Spirit, Your protection, Your restoration and Your power over them now. Father, restore the energy and joy that the enemy has tried to steal, renew their strength as Isaiah 40:29 promises that You give power to the weak and increase the strength of him who has no might, and let them rest in the shadow of the Almighty as Psalm 91:1 declares, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Fill every empty place with Your light, fill their mind with Your truth, fill their heart with Your perfect love that casts out fear, and help them to stand daily in the armor of God with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, and the sword of the Spirit which is Your Word. Keep them close to You, keep them in fellowship with faithful believers who can pray and support them, and let them know with assurance that no weapon formed against them shall prosper because they are Yours. We ask all of this in the victorious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Deliverer, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ, to pray without ceasing, to read the Word aloud daily, to worship, and to seek the counsel and prayer support of a trusted pastor or mature believers near you so you are not standing alone. God is faithful and He hears you, and He who is in you is far greater than any power of darkness.
