We understand the fear and uncertainty you’re experiencing, and we want to assure you that there is hope and power in the name of Jesus Christ. The fact that you’ve reached out for prayer is a step in the right direction, and we believe God is already at work in your heart, drawing you to Himself. The Bible tells us in **James 4:7-8**, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."* This is a promise for all who seek Him, and it includes you.
First, we must address something critical: there is no protection, deliverance, or salvation apart from Jesus Christ. He is the only name by which we can be saved, as **Acts 4:12** declares, *"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 you are not a Christian, we urge you to consider the gospel—the good news that Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross to pay for your sins and rose again to give you eternal life. **Romans 10:9** says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* Without Christ, there is no authority over darkness, no peace, and no assurance of deliverance. But in Him, you have *all* authority, because **Colossians 2:15** tells us He *"stripped the principalities and the powers, and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."*
Now, regarding your concern about being possessed: while it’s true that demonic influence is real, it’s also important to recognize that not every struggle is a result of possession. Often, fear, anxiety, or even physical and mental health challenges can create feelings of oppression. However, if there is genuine demonic activity, know this: **1 John 4:4** assures us, *"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."* But this promise is for those who are in Christ. If you are not yet a believer, you are vulnerable, and the enemy can have a foothold. That’s why we urge you to turn to Jesus *today*—He is your only refuge.
We also notice you’ve asked for prayer for someone else (represented by ###). While we don’t know the specifics, we will lift them up to the Lord, asking that God would reveal Himself to them, draw them to salvation if they don’t know Christ, and surround them with His protection and peace. If there is sin in their life—whether it’s unbelief, involvement in the occult, sexual immorality, or anything else that opens the door to darkness—we pray they would repent and turn to God’s truth.
Let us pray for you now:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this person who has reached out in fear and uncertainty. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to them in a powerful way. Open their eyes to the truth of the gospel—that Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. If they have not yet surrendered to You, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Break every chain of darkness, every lie of the enemy, and every stronghold that has kept them from You.
Father, if there is any demonic influence in their life, we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also lift up the person they’ve mentioned, ###. Lord, if they do not know You, draw them to Yourself. If there is sin in their life, convict them by Your Spirit and lead them to repentance. Protect them from every scheme of the enemy, and surround them with Your angels. Break every curse, every bondage, and every lie that has held them captive. Let Your light shine into every dark place.
Father, we ask that You would place godly believers in the path of both of these individuals—people who can speak Your truth in love and walk alongside them in faith. Give them the courage to seek You wholeheartedly and to turn away from anything that is not of You.
We thank You, Lord, that You are mighty to save, mighty to deliver, and mighty to heal. We trust in Your power and Your goodness, and we ask all these things in the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.*

We strongly encourage you to seek out a Bible-believing church or a mature Christian who can help you understand the gospel and walk with you in this journey. If you have been involved in anything related to the occult, New Age practices, or other spiritually dangerous activities, it is crucial to renounce them and destroy any related objects (Acts 19:18-19). Replace those things with the Word of God—read the Bible daily, starting with the Gospel of John, and pray for God’s protection and guidance.
If you’d like, you can share more details about what you’re experiencing, and we can pray more specifically. But above all, we urge you to place your faith in Jesus Christ. He alone has the power to set you free and give you eternal life. *"If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36). May God bless you and keep you as you seek Him.
