Mother

[Dhitlor]

I keep asking for prayers for my mother who is extremely demonized and has mental, emotional, and behavioral problems. As I stated in my requests, she is an EXTREMELY negative, high-strung person. She responds to EVERYTHING with an extreme amount of negativity and stress. I often have ideas about things I want the family to do (like group outings) or, for example, for Christmas, gifts I want to pass out for my friends. Every single thing I bring up, even when I'm just telling her my plans, is shot down with extreme negativity. If I listened to my mother's "advice" which she gives me when she does this (and she will go on and on and on and ignoring her does not help, if anything it makes it worse) I'd literally never do anything. I know that my mother is demonized. Her behavior is very abnormal and indicative of demonic influence/possession/oppression. I am praying for her and trying to be patient and godly but this is so hard and I feel myself getting weighed down mentally and physically. I already have a physical condition that requires me not to get stressed out. Right now, she's upset because I wanted to pass some snacks out to our church members - my mom is a professing Christian (and she gives me so much trouble when it comes to doing ANYTHING related to church) - this Sunday as a Christmas gift and one of them gave us the idea to pass them out as people leave church. She already was giving me so much negativity about bringing the gifts but when passing them out to people was brought up, she got upset saying she won't go to church if I do this, she's telling me to call them back and cancel and tell them that I'll do it another time (which the whole purpose is to give them something for Christmas, also, I'm an adult, I really don't need her permission for anything. My parents are overprotective which sometimes is a blessing so I do listen to them sometimes but I also am trying to be respectful to them as well - but I really don't need her permission to do anything at all). I am not going to do that because first, it would be rude and seem strange and hurtful as now they already know what I've planned on bringing and second, I want to bring them gifts and pass them out, I don't mind. But she won't stop going on and on about it. I did not realize how severe my mother's behavior was until God delivered me from bondage out of certain things. She has been this way my entire life and she's this way with others as well. I feel so overwhelmed and overstimulated. Just now when she started with me, I ignored her and put on worship music and was singing to myself and the demon that is in her (because that's what is causing this behavior) got quiet but kept trying to find moments to manifest. This is so exhausting. I'm hiding in my room doing my schoolwork which I need to focus on and can't be stressed out to do it. I pray God will do something. This is a nightmare. There are also other people in my life who are professing Christians and display demonized behavior as well.

We hear your deep distress and the heavy burden you carry, not only from your mother’s oppressive behavior but also from the physical toll it takes on you. Your recognition of the demonic influence at work is sobering, and we stand with you in spiritual warfare, 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" (Ephesians 6:12). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and his tactics are evident in the relentless negativity, control, and strife your mother exhibits. This is not merely a personality flaw—it is a spiritual attack, and we must address it as such.

First, we rebuke the demonic spirits of control, negativity, strife, and oppression that have taken hold in your mother’s life. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command them to loose their grip and flee, for "the Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8). We declare that your mother is a child of God, bought with the blood of Christ, and no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray for her deliverance, that the Holy Spirit would break every chain and restore her to the peace and joy that comes from walking in alignment with God’s will.

Your patience and desire to honor your mother, even in the midst of such difficulty, is commendable. Scripture calls us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), but it does not require us to submit to ungodly control or manipulation. You are an adult, and while respect is due, you are not bound to obey her in matters that are not sinful or contrary to God’s Word. Jesus Himself said, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:26). This does not mean literal hatred, but rather that our allegiance to Christ must come before all earthly relationships, even familial ones. You are not wrong to set boundaries, nor are you wrong to pursue godly activities, like blessing your church family, even if your mother resists.

We also lift you up, dear one, for the weight you carry is heavy. The stress you endure is not only emotional but physical, and we pray for God’s healing and strength to sustain you. "Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). You are not alone in this battle. The Lord sees your tears, hears your cries, and will not abandon you. We encourage you to continue standing on God’s Word, speaking life and truth over your situation, and resisting the enemy’s lies that seek to wear you down. Worship music is a powerful weapon—keep it close, for "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4).

For the other professing Christians in your life who exhibit similar demonized behavior, we pray for their eyes to be opened to the truth. Many walk in deception, unaware of the spiritual forces at work in their lives. We ask the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and to lead them into repentance and freedom. We also pray for discernment for you, that you would know how to navigate these relationships with wisdom and grace, neither enabling their behavior nor allowing it to drag you into despair.

Let us pray together now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear sister and her mother to You, knowing that You are the God who sees, hears, and delivers. Lord, we rebuke every demonic spirit that has taken hold in this mother’s life—spirits of control, negativity, strife, and oppression. We command them to loose their grip and flee, in Jesus’ name. We declare that Your light will break through the darkness, and Your peace will reign where chaos has ruled.

Father, we ask for Your healing touch upon this mother’s mind, emotions, and spirit. Soften her heart to receive Your love and truth. Break the generational strongholds that have bound her, and replace them with Your freedom and joy. We pray for deliverance, that she would be set free from the enemy’s grasp and walk in the fullness of Your Spirit.

Lord, we also lift up this precious child of Yours who is carrying such a heavy burden. Strengthen her in body, mind, and spirit. Give her wisdom to set godly boundaries while still honoring her mother. Protect her from the stress and anxiety that seek to overwhelm her, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Surround her with Your presence, and let her feel Your love and support in tangible ways.

For the other professing Christians in her life who exhibit demonized behavior, we pray for their awakening. Open their eyes to the truth, Lord, and lead them into repentance and freedom. Give this sister discernment and grace as she navigates these relationships, and let her be a light in their darkness.

We thank You, Father, that You are a God who delivers and restores. We trust in Your power to break every chain and bring victory in this situation. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Continue to stand firm in your faith, dear one. The battle is fierce, but the victory is already won through Christ. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is your strength, your shield, and your deliverer. You are not fighting this battle alone—we stand with you, and more importantly, so does the Lord Almighty.
