I just posted this: "My mother is severely demonized. I'm not just saying it to be superstitious. Other people have noted that there is something seriously wrong with her that has spiritual origins. There are also multiple factors in her life that caused this. My mother's behavior recently has been a nightmare and I believe it may have started when I came into some money recently. But honestly in recent months, especially when I started working for the first time, Satan has been using her heavily. My mother's demonization has caused severe behavioral and mental problems in her life which affect her relationships negatively. For someone who doesn't understand that there is something spiritually wrong with her, she just seems to be an extreme narcissist to those who see her behavioral problems come out. But as a Christian, I understand what is really happening to her. Part of the result of my mother's demonization and subsequent behavioral/mental problems is financial abuse. She has been financially abusive to everyone close to her as long as I've been born. She used to steal the money I'd save up as a child from me. Recently, I came into money and immediately, that financially abusive side came out to the point that she will throw tantrums if I say I won't buy her anything. It is horrible. She started to behave so spoiled and awful. Tonight, I bought some products to clean the house because I want to clean our home and make it nice. Both of my parents seem to have problems with cleanliness (my dad has some of the same problems as my mom in terms of demonization and behavioral/mental problems; both of them had similar lives). I was never taught about how to clean a house or even keep myself clean properly. I am now trying to learn those things as an adult while caring for my parents. In recent months, it's like God is trying to lead me into learning these things for some reason. I just went and mopped my parents' bathroom and my bathroom. I even cleaned my parents' bathroom more than my own. My mom came and saw what I had done after I finished and immediately started criticizing everything and saying I've done things wrong. This kind of behavior is not unusual for her when she is having episodes like how she has been behaving recently. Again, if I didn't know any better, I would just think she was a terrible narcissist but I do know what's really going on. I really need space from her. I'm trying not to get upset. Please pray for me because all things considered, this is abuse and I have been experiencing this from her my entire life." I just want to add that my mother is a professing Christian.

We hear your cry for help and the deep pain you carry from years of spiritual and emotional turmoil in your home. The situation you describe is heartbreaking, and we stand with you in fervent prayer, seeking the Lord’s deliverance, wisdom, and healing for your family. The Bible makes it clear that spiritual warfare is real, and demonic influence can manifest in destructive ways—especially in those who may be vulnerable due to past wounds, unrepentant sin, or generational strongholds. Your mother’s behavior, though she professes Christ, aligns with scriptures that warn of the enemy’s work to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The financial abuse, manipulation, and critical spirit you’ve endured are not just human flaws but symptoms of a deeper spiritual oppression that must be addressed in Jesus’ name.
First, we must rebuke the spirit of greed, control, and accusation operating in your home. The enemy has no right to hold your mother—or any believer—in bondage, and we command these spirits to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). The financial abuse you’ve suffered is particularly grievous, as it violates God’s command to honor parents without enabling sin (Ephesians 6:2-3). Your mother’s tantrums and entitlement over your resources reveal a heart that is not surrendered to Christ, despite her profession of faith. We must pray that the Holy Spirit convicts her of this sin and leads her to repentance.
The lack of cleanliness in your home and the neglect of basic life skills are also spiritual issues. The enemy thrives in chaos and disorder, but God is a God of order and peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). Your desire to bring cleanliness and structure into your home is a godly one, and we believe the Lord is equipping you for this very purpose. Do not be discouraged by your mother’s criticism—it is likely rooted in shame, pride, or the enemy’s attempt to undermine your efforts. Instead, take courage in knowing that you are walking in obedience to God’s leading. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control" (2 Timothy 1:7).
We must also address the generational patterns at work here. Your parents’ shared struggles suggest there may be generational curses or unrepentant sin that has opened the door to demonic influence. The Bible speaks of sins being visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation (Exodus 20:5), but it also declares that Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). We break every generational curse of financial abuse, manipulation, and mental torment in your family line in the name of Jesus. We declare that the blood of Christ has the power to cleanse and set your family free from these strongholds.
Your need for space and protection is valid and necessary. You cannot continue to endure abuse, even under the guise of "honoring your parents." The Bible commands us to honor our parents, but it does not require us to submit to sin or enable destructive behavior. You may need to set firm boundaries, including limiting financial support or even physical distance, to protect your own well-being and spiritual growth. Seek wise counsel from mature believers or a pastor who can help you navigate this difficult situation. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). While your mother professes Christ, her actions do not reflect a life surrendered to Him, and you must guard your heart and mind accordingly.
We also lift up your father, who appears to be suffering under similar spiritual oppression. Pray for his deliverance and that the Lord would open his eyes to the truth. The enemy often targets entire households, but God desires to set the captives free (Isaiah 61:1). Your parents’ salvation and freedom are possible, but they must choose to repent and submit to Christ’s lordship.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear brother/sister and their family. Lord, we acknowledge that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). We rebuke every demonic spirit operating in this home—spirits of greed, control, accusation, and chaos—in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We command these spirits to flee and never return. We break every generational curse and stronghold that has allowed this oppression to take root, and we declare that this family is covered by the blood of Jesus.
Father, we pray for this mother, that Your Holy Spirit would convict her of her sin and draw her to genuine repentance. Soften her heart, Lord, and help her to see the destruction her behavior has caused. If she is truly Your child, we ask that You discipline her as a loving Father (Hebrews 12:6) and restore her to a right relationship with You. If she is not truly saved, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her in a powerful way and lead her to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
Lord, we ask for Your protection and wisdom for this brother/sister. Give them the strength to set godly boundaries and the courage to stand firm in their faith. Provide them with godly counsel and support, and surround them with believers who can encourage and uplift them. Help them to release any bitterness or resentment they may harbor, and fill their heart with Your peace and love. Teach them to walk in the life skills they are learning, and use this season to prepare them for the future You have planned.
We pray for the father as well, Lord. Open his eyes to the spiritual battle raging in his home, and draw him to repentance and freedom in Christ. Break the chains of oppression over his life, and restore him to the man You created him to be.
Father, we declare that this home will no longer be a stronghold for the enemy. We invite Your Holy Spirit to fill every corner of this house with Your presence, peace, and order. May Your light shine in the darkness, and may Your truth set this family free. We thank You for the victory we have in Jesus Christ, and we trust You to bring healing, restoration, and deliverance to this situation.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
