We hear the heaviness in your heart for your sons and daughter and we join with you in seeking God's will together in Jesus' name for their deliverance and protection. We admire your faithfulness in praying and fasting for them and we understand your exhaustion, yet we encourage you not to grow weary, for it is written Galatians 6:9 Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up.
We want to address the spiritual reality you are facing. The Word tells us Ephesians 6:12 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. What you are describing is real spiritual warfare. Witchcraft in any form is an abomination before God and we must rebuke it clearly. As it is written Deuteronomy 18:10-12 There shall not be found with you anyone who practices divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a consulter with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. We rebuke every work of witchcraft that has been spoken or attempted over you and your children, and we declare that it has no authority over those who belong to Christ, for 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 James 4:7 says Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
We also want to lovingly address what you shared about your sons being with unbelievers and one son and his mate attempting witchcraft against you. Scripture warns us 2 Corinthians 6:14 Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? When our children walk closely with unbelievers, their hearts can be drawn away from studying the Word and from prayer, just as you have seen. If your son and his mate are living together or involved sexually outside of marriage, we must call that what Scripture calls it, fornication, which is sin before God and opens doors to further spiritual bondage. God designed sexual intimacy for marriage alone, a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, and He calls us to flee from fornication and to pursue purity. We pray that your sons will turn from any immoral relationships and from fellowship that pulls them away from Christ, and that they will seek godly spouses and godly marriages that honor the Lord if it is His will for them to marry. Courtship should be with the goal of marriage to another Christian believer.
We notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ and we want to gently remind you how vital this is. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and power over darkness. Jesus said John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. If we have not placed our faith in Jesus Christ, confessing with our mouth that He is Lord and believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead as Romans 10:9 teaches, we have no authority to stand against the enemy. It is the name of Jesus that makes our prayers powerful and it is His blood that covers and protects us.
We also want to encourage you in your exhaustion. The Lord sees your fasting and your tears. He promises Isaiah 40:29 He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. And Psalm 34:17 says The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. You do not have to fight in your own strength. Put on the whole armor of God described in Ephesians 6:10-18, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the feet fitted with the Good News of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, praying at all times. Rest also in His promise Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
We now pray together with you.
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up this dear parent and her sons and daughter to You. Lord, we ask You to break every chain of witchcraft, every incantation and curse spoken against this family, and render it powerless by the blood of Jesus. We ask You to surround this mother with Your protection and give rest to her weary soul, renew her strength like the eagle's. Father, we pray for her sons and daughter, that You would open their eyes to the deception they are under, draw them back to hunger for Your Word and for prayer, convict them of any fellowship with darkness and any sexual immorality, and lead them to repentance. Separate them from unbelieving companions who lead them astray and bring godly Christian influences into their lives. Let them confess Jesus as Lord and be saved, filled with Your Holy Spirit, walking in Your light. We claim Your promise that no weapon formed against them shall prosper and that You will deliver them from all evil. We ask this in the victorious and holy name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and intercessor, amen.
We encourage you to continue steadfast in prayer and fasting as the Lord leads, to speak Scripture aloud in your home, to worship and praise God daily, and to seek fellowship with strong believers who will stand with you. Keep praying for your children's salvation and deliverance, trusting that God hears and will answer in His perfect timing. Do not give up, for the Lord is faithful to complete the good work He has begun.
