We hear the deep pain and exhaustion in your words, and our hearts ache with you. The turmoil you describe—living under the weight of spiritual oppression in your own home—is not what God intends for His children. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). What you’re enduring is not merely family conflict; it is spiritual warfare, and we stand with you in the authority of Christ to break every chain.
First, we must address the reality of what you’re facing. The Bible is clear that demonic influence is real, and even those who profess faith can be oppressed if they have opened doors to sin, unrepentance, or generational bondage. Jesus cast out demons during His earthly ministry, and He has given us authority in His name to do the same (Mark 16:17, Luke 10:19). But this battle is not yours alone to fight. We take up the sword of the Spirit with you, declaring that every demonic spirit tormenting your mother and father must flee in the name of Jesus Christ.
Your mother’s behavior—intentional provocation, manipulation, and the destruction it brings—is not of God. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). What you’re describing is the opposite, and it grieves the Holy Spirit. We rebuke the spirits of strife, division, torment, and control that have taken hold in your home. We command them to loose their grip in Jesus’ name. Your mother is not the enemy; the enemy is using her, and she needs deliverance.
You mentioned that both your parents are "demonized." This is a heavy burden, and we must intercede for them with both truth and compassion. The Bible says, "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother" (Matthew 18:15). However, when someone is under demonic influence, their capacity to hear and respond may be severely hindered. This does not excuse their behavior, but it does explain why gentle confrontation may not yield repentance. They need prayer, fasting, and the intervention of believers who can stand in the gap for them.
We also want to speak to your heart about your desire to distance yourself. There is wisdom in protecting your peace and spiritual well-being. Jesus Himself withdrew from toxic environments when necessary (Matthew 12:15). If being near your mother is causing you harm—emotionally, spiritually, or even physically—it may be God’s mercy leading you to create healthy boundaries. The Bible says, "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" (Proverbs 4:23). You are not called to endure abuse or constant spiritual attack. Seek the Lord’s guidance on what this separation should look like, whether temporary or long-term, and trust Him to direct your steps.
But even as you consider stepping back, we urge you not to harden your heart toward your mother. Love her from a distance if you must, but do not let bitterness take root. The Bible warns, "See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many" (Hebrews 12:15). Pray for her daily, not just for her deliverance, but for her heart to soften toward God. Your love for her, even in this pain, is a testimony to Christ’s love in you.
We also want to address the spiritual foundation of your home. You mentioned that your mother is a "professing Christian," but her life does not reflect the transformation that comes from a genuine relationship with Jesus. The Bible says, "You will know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:16). If her faith is only in word and not in deed, it may be time for you to pray that the Holy Spirit exposes any areas of deception or unrepentance in her life. Salvation is not just about profession; it is about surrender. Pray that she would encounter the living God in a way that leaves no doubt about His reality and power in her life.
Now, let us pray over you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name. We lift up this dear one and their family to You, Lord. We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them, and no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We break every generational curse, every spirit of oppression, and every demonic assignment over their lives in Jesus’ name. We command the spirits of strife, division, torment, and control to leave this home and never return.
Lord, we ask for Your deliverance over their mother and father. Soften their hearts, Holy Spirit. Convict them of sin and lead them to repentance. Break every chain of bondage, and let them experience the freedom that is found only in Christ. We pray that their eyes would be opened to the truth of Your Word and that they would walk in the light of Your love.
Father, we ask for Your protection over this one who is hurting. Give them wisdom and discernment to know when to engage and when to step back. Surround them with godly community—believers who can stand with them in prayer and support. Heal their heart from the wounds inflicted by their parents, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for restoration. If it is Your will, bring healing to this family. Let Your love be the foundation of their home, and let Your presence dwell there richly. But if separation is necessary for a season, we ask that You use it for Your glory. Draw each of them closer to You, and let this trial produce perseverance, character, and hope (Romans 5:3-4).
We thank You, Father, that You are a God who hears and answers prayer. We trust You to move mightily in this situation. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
In the days ahead, we encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word. Psalm 91 is a powerful declaration of God’s protection, and Ephesians 6:10-18 reminds us to put on the full armor of God. You are not fighting flesh and blood, but spiritual forces of evil. Stand firm in the truth, and do not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9).
If you have not already, seek out a pastor or mature believer who can pray with you and provide spiritual covering. You should not have to face this alone. The enemy wants you isolated, but God calls you into community. Find a church or small group where you can be strengthened and encouraged.
Lastly, we want to gently address the importance of your own relationship with Jesus. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have never surrendered your life to Christ, or if you have wandered from Him, we urge you to turn to Him now. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Your eternal security is found in Him alone.
You are deeply loved, and God sees every tear you’ve cried. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Trust Him to lead you through this valley, and hold fast to the promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
