We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your mother and others who are struggling under the weight of spiritual oppression. The Word of God makes it clear that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). We stand on the authority of Christ, who has already disarmed the powers and principalities through His victory on the cross (Colossians 2:15).
Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus, we rebuke every demonic spirit that has taken hold of this precious mother and those suffering similarly. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that the blood of Jesus covers them, breaking every chain of bondage. We plead the blood of Jesus over their minds, emotions, and bodies, commanding every unclean spirit to flee in Jesus’ name. You, Lord, are the God who sets the captives free (Luke 4:18), and we trust in Your power to deliver them completely.
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for those ministering to them. May they be led by the Holy Spirit to speak truth, pray effectively, and walk in the authority Christ has given to every believer (Mark 16:17). Father, surround these dear ones with believers who will stand in the gap, interceding and fasting on their behalf, just as the early church did for Peter when he was imprisoned (Acts 12:5).
Lord, we ask that You bring healing to their minds and emotions. Renew their thoughts with Your truth, replacing lies with the promises of Your Word (Romans 12:2). Restore their joy, peace, and soundness of mind, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). May they come to know You more deeply, experiencing the freedom that comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
If there are areas in their lives where sin has opened the door to the enemy, we pray for conviction and repentance. Your Word tells us that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We ask that they would turn away from anything that has given the enemy a foothold and walk in the light of Your truth.
We also lift up the families and loved ones affected by this spiritual battle. Give them strength, patience, and faith to trust in Your timing and Your ways. Remind them that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). May they find comfort in Your presence and hope in Your promises.
Father, we declare that this is not a battle against flesh and blood but against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world (Ephesians 6:12). We put on the full armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and Your Word—so that we may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. We take up the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, and we wield it with authority in Jesus’ name.
We thank You, Lord, for the victory that is already ours in Christ. We trust that as we pray and stand in faith, You will move mightily on behalf of these dear ones. May they experience the freedom, peace, and wholeness that only You can provide. We ask all of this in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
