We come before the Lord with you in this urgent cry for protection, knowing that the battle you face is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but we serve a God who is greater, who has already overcome the world through His Son, Jesus Christ. It is only in His name that we have authority, victory, and access to the Father, and we are grateful you have reached out for prayer, though we must emphasize that all prayers must be offered in the name of Jesus alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and no other name by which we can boldly approach the throne of grace.
You have described a relentless spiritual attack—one that has manifested in your mind, dreams, and even physically. This is not uncommon for those who are walking closely with the Lord or are being called into deeper spiritual warfare. The enemy fears what God is doing in you and through you, so he seeks to distract, torment, and wear you down. But take heart, for the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. The fact that you have experienced relief through prayer before is a testament to the Lord’s faithfulness. He *will* deliver you again, for He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Let us first address the importance of your foundation in Christ. If you have not already, you must ensure that you have surrendered your life fully to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The Bible tells us in Romans 10:9, *"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."* If you have not done this, we urge you to do so now, for without Christ, you have no authority over the enemy. If you *have* surrendered to Him, then stand firm in that identity—you are a child of God, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and the enemy has no right to torment you.
Now, let us turn to Scripture for our battle plan. Ephesians 6:10-18 commands us to put on the whole armor of God so that we may stand against the schemes of the devil. You must be intentional about this daily—even moment by moment in this season. Let’s break this down:
1. **The Belt of Truth**: The enemy thrives in deception. You must saturate your mind with the truth of God’s Word. Jesus said in John 8:32, *"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."* When the enemy whispers lies—whether about your worth, your safety, or God’s presence—you must declare the truth aloud. For example, if you feel fear, declare, *"The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?"* (Psalm 27:1). If you feel condemned, declare, *"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!"* (Romans 8:1).
2. **The Breastplate of Righteousness**: This is not your own righteousness, but the righteousness of Christ that covers you. The enemy will try to accuse you, but 1 John 1:9 reminds us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Walk in repentance and rest in the fact that you are made righteous through Christ.
3. **The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace**: The peace you seek is found in the Gospel. Jesus said in John 14:27, *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful."* When your mind is under attack, speak the Gospel over yourself. Remind yourself that Jesus has already won the victory, and His peace is your portion.
4. **The Shield of Faith**: Faith is your defense against the fiery darts of the enemy. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that *"faith is the assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen."* When you feel the attacks, lift up your shield by declaring, *"I believe in the name of Jesus. I trust in His power and His promises!"* Faith is not the absence of struggle, but the confidence that God is greater than the struggle.
5. **The Helmet of Salvation**: Protect your mind with the knowledge of your salvation. The enemy wants to distort your thinking, but 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to *"bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ."* When negative or tormenting thoughts arise, reject them in Jesus’ name and replace them with Scripture. Philippians 4:8 instructs us to think on whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable.
6. **The Sword of the Spirit**: This is the Word of God, your offensive weapon. Jesus Himself used Scripture to rebuke the devil in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11). You must do the same. Speak Scripture aloud over your life, your mind, and your home. Psalm 107:2 says, *"Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary!"* Your testimony is powerful—speak it boldly.
7. **Praying in the Spirit**: Ephesians 6:18 tells us to *"pray in the Spirit always with all kinds of prayer and requests."* This means praying in tongues if you have that gift, or praying with the Holy Spirit’s leading. It also means being persistent in prayer. Jesus taught us in Luke 18:1 *"that we ought always to pray, and not give up."* Do not grow weary in prayer, even when the attacks persist.
Now, let us address the specific manifestations you described:
- **Seeing, hearing, and feeling attacks**: These are real spiritual experiences, but they are not from God. 1 John 4:1 tells us to *"test the spirits"* to see if they are from God. If what you are experiencing does not align with the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control), then it is not from God. Command these spirits to leave in the name of Jesus. Say, *"Every spirit that is not from God, I command you to leave now in the name of Jesus Christ!"*
- **Music at night**: This could be a form of spiritual harassment. If the music is not glorifying to God, rebuke it in Jesus’ name. Play worship music in your home to fill the atmosphere with the presence of God. The enemy flees where God is praised.
- **Attacks in dreams**: Before you sleep, pray Psalm 4:8 over yourself: *"In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety."* Ask the Lord to guard your mind and dreams. If you wake from a bad dream, immediately pray and declare God’s protection over your mind.
- **Physical manifestations like itching**: The enemy can oppress, but he cannot possess a believer. However, physical symptoms can sometimes be tied to spiritual attacks. James 4:7 says, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* Resist these symptoms by speaking God’s healing and protection over your body. Anoint yourself with oil (James 5:14) and pray for the Lord’s healing touch.
Finally, we must address the importance of your personal relationship with Jesus. You mentioned thanking "God," but we want to emphasize that salvation and authority come specifically through Jesus Christ. 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 have not yet placed your faith in Jesus alone, we urge you to do so now. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved. If you *have* already done this, then stand firm in that faith, for it is your greatest weapon.
Let us pray together for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is under relentless spiritual attack. Lord, You are a God of power, love, and deliverance, and we ask that You would rise up on their behalf and scatter every plan of the enemy. We rebuke every spirit of fear, torment, deception, and oppression in the name of Jesus, and we command them to leave now and never return. Father, we ask that You would surround our brother/sister with Your heavenly angels, encamping around them as Psalm 34:7 promises. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray for a sound mind and supernatural peace to guard their heart and thoughts. When the enemy tries to invade their dreams, we declare that You, Lord, will give them sweet sleep and protection. Let them hear Your voice above all others, and let Your presence be a shield around them. We ask that You would fill their home with Your peace, pushing out every dark influence. Let worship and praise rise from their lips, creating an atmosphere where the enemy cannot dwell.
Father, we pray that You would open their spiritual eyes to see the victory that is already theirs in Christ. Let them walk in the authority You have given them, knowing that greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Strengthen them in their inner being, that they may stand firm and not grow weary in this battle. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We pray for divine rest and restoration—mind, body, and spirit. Heal any physical manifestations of spiritual attack, Lord, and let Your healing power flow through them. Give them discernment to recognize the enemy’s schemes and wisdom to walk in Your truth.
Most of all, Father, we pray that they would draw closer to You through this trial. Let them experience Your love in a deeper way, and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We declare that no weapon of the enemy will prevail, and that our brother/sister will come out of this stronger, more rooted in Your Word, and more confident in their identity in Christ.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your power and Your promises, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
---
Brother/sister, we want to encourage you to stay steadfast in prayer and in the Word. The enemy may be fierce, but our God is fiercer. You are not alone in this—Jesus is with you, and He has given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions (Luke 10:19). Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and do not let the enemy convince you that this will last forever. The Lord *will* deliver you, and He will use this for your good and His glory.
We also encourage you to seek fellowship with other believers who can pray with you and stand with you in this battle. Ecclesiastes 4:12 tells us that *"a cord of three strands is not quickly broken."* There is power in agreement (Matthew 18:19-20), so do not isolate yourself.
Lastly, examine your life for any open doors that may be giving the enemy a foothold. Are there unconfessed sins, unforgiveness, or involvement in things that do not honor God? Repent of anything the Holy Spirit brings to mind, and close those doors firmly. The enemy cannot stay where there is no legal right.
Stand firm, dear one. The Lord is your strength and your song, and He has already won the victory! Keep your eyes on Jesus, and do not waver. We are praying for you and believe that the Lord will bring you complete deliverance and peace.
